Best Movie Star

When Charles Rowan was sent away, Matthew opened the script he left behind and looked at it more carefully. Thanks to the "Dark Knight", with James Cameron and Steven Spielberg and other superstars Like the director, Christopher Nolan is one of the few Hollywood directors whose name he ever remembers.

Strictly speaking, this script is more like a draft. The plot is not coherent, the scenes are quite chaotic, and the story is relatively obscure.

Matthew can see some familiar things in it. The most impressive content of this script is that technology allows people to hack into other people's brains and share the same dream with another person at the same time.

Seeing this, he has a general guess. If it is really the movie that has been praised to an exaggerated height by countless people, he can indeed consider taking the job.

I vaguely remember that the actor at that time was Leonardo DiCaprio. I wonder if Christopher Nolan will go to him when he is in contact with him?

That night, Christopher Nolan spoke to him on the phone, and the two sides agreed to interview Christopher Nolan when he returned to Los Angeles.

Matthew put that aside for the time being, Christopher Nolan is working on the final production of The Dark Knight in Chicago, and it will be a while before he gets back to Los Angeles.

On his side, "Twilight" is about to start filming.

"Sophia, at my request, Disney Studios has confirmed that Twilight will be released on November 21."

"You have to control the rhythm of shooting and post-production," Matthew told Sofia Coppola on the Disney Studios soundstage.

"The weekend before Thanksgiving," Sofia Coppola replied nonchalantly, "I remember the new James Bond 'Quantum of Solace' is coming out on November 14th?"

Matthew nodded, "Yes, this movie has Quantum of Solace in the front and Reese Witherspoon's Four Christmases in the back."

Sofia Coppola said nasally, "You're gambling."

"This is the holiday season!" Matthew emphasized, "Which November is not crowded with a lot of movies?"

Frankly speaking, this is indeed a successful bet. No one knows whether the "Twilight" series, which has even changed the director, starring, and production and distribution companies, can still be successful.

But he believes in the strength of the cast, and also believes that romance films dressed as werewolves and vampires will be popular among teenagers.

Besides, he can afford it too.

"Don't worry, Matthew," Sofia Coppola assured. "The location has now been confirmed, and my art direction team is setting the scene there. It will be no later than early March. Complete by mid-April.”

She said again in a unique tone, "Forty days is enough for a film like this."

Matthew nodded, which is one of the reasons he chose Sofia Coppola as the director, "Death of the Virgin" and "Lost in Translation" were both shot in a very short time.

Sofia Coppola changed the subject and said, "Yesterday I talked to the people from the third-party guarantee company. At present, in addition to the initial investment of 20 million US dollars, the latter 20 million US dollars have not yet arrived." She asked. , "Matthew, you must solve the funding problem as soon as possible, then it will be troublesome to interrupt the filming due to insufficient funds."

Matthew immediately relieved Sofia Coppola's worries, "At the end of this month, the remaining $20 million will be fully credited."

Helen Herman and his accountants are working on the latest accounts with the Pirates of the Caribbean crew and Disney Studios, and the late split for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End will arrive soon, according to the original split agreement. As well as the supplemental agreement signed after the box office explosion of "Coffin of Souls", he can get a later share of 24 million US dollars. Although April is the tax filing season, with some funds in his hand, he can make up for "Twilight Saga". "The funding gap of the project is not a problem.

And with the arrival of the new year, endorsement fees for brands such as Rolex, Mercedes-Benz and Armani men's underwear he endorses will arrive at the end of this month at the latest.

For this part of the money, in addition to filling the vacancy in the reserved funds of "Fast and Furious 4" that had been misappropriated before, he has contacted an agent and will acquire the stock of Marvel Comics at a high price.

Since he participated in the project of "Iron Man", he has been acquiring the scattered shares of Marvel Comics one after another. Today, the number of Apple's stocks circulating on the market is too small, and it is difficult to buy large stocks. In contrast, Marvel's Comics are much easier.

To this day, Marvel Comics is still undervalued, and not many people think that "Iron Man", which will be released in May, will be a big success.

On his behalf, Amanda approached several small shareholders of Marvel Comics to see if they could buy the shares in their hands, but these people are not stupid, and many of them are willing to take a bet on Marvel Comics after the box office success of "Iron Man" It is not easy for people whose stocks will rise sharply to buy the shares in their hands, and they have to pay far more than the market price.

Now no one can guarantee they will sell, but Amanda has given a very satisfactory price at this stage.

If these transactions can be reached, he will also become a minority shareholder with about 4% of the shares of Marvel Comics.

Looking back from his current position, he actually missed the most difficult stage of Marvel comics. If he had enough money in the late 1990s when he just came here, he might be able to try it. Become the largest shareholder of Marvel Comics.

It's a pity that at that time he even had a problem with eating, and his focus was not on Marvel at all. The most important thing in his eyes was to solve practical survival problems.

Discussing with Sofia Coppola about the filming and production of Twilight, Matthew left her temporary office in the studio and went to a small studio nearby. Actors are doing physical training here.

The youthful and beautiful appearance is one of the selling points of this film.

Matthew stood at the entrance of the studio and watched for a while. More than a dozen young actors and actresses were doing some body correction training with professional coaches, including the heroine Nina Dobrev and the supporting actress Lily Collins.

The actors here are tall and handsome, and the women are exquisite and beautiful. To paraphrase a phrase from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, this is a group of small flowers and small fresh meat.

Unfortunately, these little flowers and little fresh meat do not come with their own traffic.

Of course, if it is the traffic that is brushed out, the effect will not be much better.

Looking at these people on the training ground, for a moment, Matthew felt old.

After staying for a long time, he left and returned to the studio where the "Fast and Furious 4" crew was located. Part of the studio has been converted into a temporary training ground, including Paul Walker, Gal Gadot and Daniel Wu The main actors, including the main actors, are receiving professional training in action guidance.

Matthew also got involved, and the training involved a lot of action scenes in the shoot, starting from the end of casting.

Gal Gadot and Daniel Wu have very distinctive characteristics. Daniel Wu is quite agile. Gal Gadot's knowledge of firearms is not only talking about it, she also compared with him the disassembly of the M9 pistol. With assembly, this aspect can be said to be a complete win.

During this week, the crews of "Twilight" and "Fast and Furious 4" received capital injections from Matthew and David Ellison. The sufficient budget and funds also ensured that the preparations for the two projects were carried out smoothly. At the end of February, "Twilight" was the first to start filming at Disney Studios.

According to Sofia-Coppola's plan, the interior scenes in the studio will be filmed within half a month, and then the entire crew rushed to a rainy town in the Portland area to shoot the remaining scenes.

At the same time as the film was launched, the first wave of publicity and promotion of the film also started smoothly. Apart from a series of publicity methods, Matthew has communicated with Disney and will focus on the director, producer, screenwriter and original work of the film in the promotion. The authors are all women.

In addition to being a director, Sofia Coppola also serves as a producer~www.readwn.com~ The purpose of this is, of course, to make the film more attractive to female audiences. The crew has done this before. Special investigation, the fans of "Twilight" are mainly female.

As for attracting male audiences, in addition to male audiences who like this type of film, it is also about the charm of the two female characters.

Matthew had no way of knowing who played the role of Lily Collins, but Lily Collins, who was not yet nineteen, was already in excellent shape.

As for the heroine, if you let go of the past memories, just in the current situation, the nineteen-year-old Nina Dobrev is much more beautiful than the eighteen-year-old Kristen Stewart in most people's aesthetics. .

A lot of times, being pretty doesn't necessarily work in Hollywood, and it won't be a key winning factor for a commercial film, but it's definitely a plus.

Like Megan Fox on Transformers.

On the day of the filming of "Twilight", a small ceremony was held. Since all the actors in the film were not well-known, media reporters focused on Matthew, the investor.

"I believe everyone has seen the original work, and it is not easy for my company to obtain the rights to this best-selling adaptation."

Matthew is of course full of confidence in the lens of the face reporter. "From the casting, the script to the entire shooting process, I have gone through too many ups and downs. I hope this movie can be recognized by the audience, especially the readers."

The filming of this film went very smoothly, and it also made Matthew feel relieved. Just as he was continuing to train for "Fast and Furious 4", he received a call from Charles Rowan, "The Dark Knight" production was completed, Warner Bros. was going to hold an internal preview, and Christopher Nolan invited him to participate.
