Best Movie Star

Before the North American screening of "Iron Man" came to the second weekend, Matthew received the script and project proposal from Charles Rowan. It is not difficult to find through these that Warner Bros. and DC Comics also want to follow Marvel's revenge. The Avengers movie project will also bring the Justice League, which appeared in the comics before the Avengers, to the big screen.

And they settled on their first film, Green Lantern.

Charles Rowan called him specifically and told Matthew to read the script and project plan first, and wait for the rest of the interview when he came back from New York next week.

"Obviously, Warner Bros. is interested in inviting you to play Green Lantern."

In the Angel Agency's office, Helen Herman roughly read the script, put it on the desk, and said to Matthew, "What do you mean?"

Matthew shrugged slightly, "Since I don't take Iron Man, I certainly won't take Green Lantern." He thought for a while, and added, "I'm not interested in acting in superhero movies."

"You want to invest?" Helen Herman asked again.

Matthew shook his head directly, "Marvel Comics is already preparing to operate "Iron Man 2", and I don't have any extra funds in my hand. Besides, I don't invest in the sequel of the blockbuster movie, why invest in the uncertain future of DC Supermarket Hero series?"

This makes a lot of sense. If Helen Herman made the choice, he would also choose "Iron Man 2" instead of "Green Lantern".

This past weekend, "Iron Man" took another 55.6 million US dollars from North America, and the North American box office has been infinitely close to 200 million US dollars.

"Charles made an appointment with me later." Matthew added, "I will politely decline him."

Helen Herman nodded. "Yeah," she asked. "Do you need me to accompany you?"

Matthew shook his head slowly, "No need."

"Warner Bros. and DC Comics are one step behind," Helen Herman said, returning the script to Matthew. "They seem to be in a hurry."

Matthew didn't find it strange, "DC superhero movies have always been firmly suppressing Marvel. Since the beginning of the new century, the situation has completely reversed. DC is slow and slow, and it has fallen behind a lot."

He looked at his watch, took the script and stood up, "It's almost time, I'll go first."

After leaving the Angel Agency and getting into his car, Matthew instructed the driver to go to the Warner Building, and took out the script and plan and went through it again.

He had seen the script more than once, and it was very similar to the "Green Lantern" he had seen.

"There is a group of 'Green Lantern Corps' who maintain the security of the universe. Each member is equipped with a magical ring, which allows them to conjure various things or achieve any purpose at will, but each ring needs to be changed from one ring to the other. The green light is regularly replenished with energy, and the energy of the light comes from the center of the universe and the headquarters of the 'Green Lantern Corps' - the OA star."

"Hal Jordan was originally a test pilot, but was summoned by the ring of Green Lantern, whose spaceship crashed on Earth, to become the new 'Green Lantern', responsible for safeguarding the security of the Earth and the Milky Way..."

The very traditional and routine Hollywood superhero movie plot is also the most secure plot mode.

Matthew patted the script and project plan lightly and sighed.

He didn't know how the box office of "Green Lantern" was, he only knew that it was not very good-looking, and a film related to this film impressed him deeply.

In the large-scale superhero movie called "Deadpool", there are many lines of Deadpool who ridiculed Green Lantern. It is said that the actor who played Deadpool and the one who played Green Lantern were the same person, and Green Lantern failed to the point of almost destroying that Guy's acting career.

Also, he didn't know which entertainment report or comment column he saw before. Originally, DC Comics and Warner Bros. did not plan to use "Superman: Man of Steel" as the beginning of the DC universe. It was only the beginning of "Green Light". "Man" failed in a mess, so he had to force Superman and Batman to fight.

The result is that everything is too rushed, the progress is in a hurry, and the plot is in a hurry...

From the information that can be recalled, it is not difficult for him to judge that "Green Lantern" is 99% of the work that is super hit.

Having said that, even if it is not a hit, Matthew will not take this role. Although he talked to Marvel Comics about the role of Iron Man, it is more because the salary gap between the two sides is too large, but he wants to play super For heroes, Iron Man is undoubtedly one of the best choices.

The reason why I want to meet Charles Rowan again today is mainly due to other considerations.

These considerations relate to those who had calculated him.

After the "racial discrimination" incident that year, Spike-Lee contracted serious drug addiction and alcohol addiction. People are basically useless, and there is no chance of getting ahead. Maybe one day he will die of drug overdose.

Naomie Harris has long since left Hollywood, quit her acting career, and doesn't know where to go.

Francis Lawrence and Paula Patton, the two little people, "Alien vs. Predator 2" with less than $20 million at the North American box office, are destined to fail in Hollywood.

All of these people have been punished because of his more or less changed fate.

But there is one person who still lives at ease, and that is Will Smith.

Although he stole the leading roles of Will Smith's "I Am Legend" and "Superman Hancock" in succession, Will Smith took over the other two films in the past two years. It's not bad. Although it can't reach the level of the superstar, it has always maintained the position of the first-line star.

Matthew has been looking for an opportunity to dig a hole for Will Smith, but such an opportunity is not easy to find.

This time, when he received the script and project proposal from Charles Rowan, he suddenly thought that he could try it out. Whether it was successful or not, there was no loss for him.

Came to the Warner Building, walked into the reception room with Charles Rowan, Matthew saw that Charles Rowan was already waiting inside.

The two greeted each other and sat on the adjacent sofa. Charles Rowan said, "I wanted to chat with you last week, but I had a little problem with the funding of the project, so I had to make a trip to New York."

Matthew knew that North America was in an economic crisis, and Hollywood was shrinking its money, so he quickly asked, "Is it resolved?"

"Smoothly resolved." Charles Rowan said deliberately, "With my efforts, Warner has offered a production budget of $250 million for "Green Lantern"!"

"What a big hand." Matthew praised.

In the context of today's economic crisis, Warner Bros. is worthy of being the best-performing company in Hollywood by daring to invest so much.

Charles Rowan smiled and continued, "Warner Bros. and DC Comics are taking this film very seriously, and they clearly asked me to find a heavyweight actor who can match the investment to play Hal Jordan."

Hearing this, Matthew didn't go around in circles and asked directly, "So, do you intend for me to be the male lead in this "Green Lantern"?"

"Yes." Charles Rowan said equally succinctly, "Warner Bros. would love to continue working with you."

Matthew nodded slightly, "I also want to continue working with Warner Bros." He then changed his voice, "But it's not a superhero movie."

Charles Rowan wondered, "Why? Are you worried about Marvel Comics?"

He knows that Matthew invested in "Iron Man", which is not a secret in the circle, and many people have long been rumored.

Before waiting for Matthew to answer, Charles Rowan said, "You don't have to worry about it. Although DC and Marvel are competitors, they have a very close relationship with each other, and this will not be a problem."

"It has nothing to do with this." Matthew opened the briefcase he was carrying, put the script and plan of "Green Lantern" on the coffee table between the two, and said, "It's just that I'm not interested in acting in superhero movies."

Charles Rowan didn't give up easily and said, "Matthew, can you think about it again?"

Matthew smiled and shook his head, "Charles, I don't want to interfere with your normal casting, so don't think about it anymore."

"Because of the salary?" Charles Rowan asked tentatively. "Warner Bros. will offer you a very sincere salary figure."

Matthew quickly said, "It's not because of the salary." He simply said, "If I want to take on a superhero movie, the actor of the current "Iron Man" will not be Robert Downey Jr. This has nothing to do with the salary. Relationships are purely a matter of personal preference.”

Charles Rowan sees that Matthew's attitude is very firm~www.readwn.com~ and is no longer reluctant. A star like Matthew's level can't get the results he wants.

He took back the script and the plan, and suddenly thought that a movie project that Matthew had invested in had just been a great success, and he couldn't help asking, "Matthew, have you read the script and the plan, can you make any suggestions?"

Matthew has been looking for a suitable opportunity to speak. Hearing this, he knew that the opportunity was coming, but he didn't say it directly. Instead, he confused what he really wanted to express into other words.

"Excuse me." Matthew's attitude was extremely serious, "Charles, I don't understand, since Warner Bros. and DC Comics intend to put the entire Justice League series on the big screen, why choose Green Lantern as a crucial first step. Why not Superman and Batman? I think Wonder Woman is more famous than Green Lantern, right?"

Charles Rowan showed a rather helpless smile, "Superman and Batman are not suitable for the time being. It's only been a few years since the tragic failure of "Superman Returns"? Batman... Christopher Nolan is shooting the realistic version of "Batman" " trilogy, it's not realistic to shoot another version. As for Wonder Woman..."

He shook his head, "As the absolute protagonist of female superheroes, we have already learned a lesson of failure." Charles Rowan's face became straight, "In terms of the reputation of comics, Green Lantern is not inferior to Iron Man, or even more famous. ."

Matthew nodded and said, "Actually, I want to see the live-action Wonder Woman movie the most, but unfortunately in the current social situation, women's rights are still not enough. If women's rights can develop like the black movement..."

Speaking of which, he seemed to think of something, "Charles, you should understand the current social situation, haven't you considered a black Green Lantern?"
