Best Movie Star

The sound of leather shoes falling from far to near, Matthew also noticed that someone came out from the door of the studio opposite, just glanced at random, and vaguely saw the face of an ordinary girl with a childish look, and his eyes turned back. Continue chatting with Charlize Theron about filming on set.

"It really doesn't work..." Matthew gave Charlize Theron a bad idea, "Let's resort to legal means."

Charlize Theron shook his head, "Most of the filming has been completed. At this time, the exit procedure is started, and the previous efforts will be in vain."

Matthew spread his hands, "Then put it aside for now and pick up other work..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was keenly aware that something seemed to be smashed over, and he reached out and hugged Charlize Theron and hid aside, while blocking her from behind.

"Oh……"

The exclamation sounded at this time, and the girl with a childish face who had walked out of the studio earlier suddenly fell down and smashed towards the position where Matthew had just stood.

Fortunately, Matthew practiced free kick all the year round, and his reaction was far faster than the average person. Before the girl hit him, he covered Charlize Theron and escaped together.

He dodged, but the girl fell firmly on the concrete floor at the entrance of the studio.

"what--"

Amidst the screams, the girl with a childish face threw herself on the street, and there was even a thumping sound.

Seeing the girl fall to the ground, the corner of Matthew's mouth subconsciously trembled. Hearing this movement, it really hurts.

The girl snorted twice, raised her childish face, and looked at Matthew and Charlize Theron, which was completely different from what she had designed.

This fall, it should have fallen on the big star, and then he took advantage of the situation to catch himself...

Who would have thought that the guy would actually escape directly!

How could he dodge it? How could he react so quickly? It was so close that her flopping turned into a real one.

Rubbing her knees that hurt from falling, the girl propped herself down and sat up.

Charlize Theron looked past Matthew and saw the girl, frowning slightly, but still asked, "Jenny, are you okay?"

Matthew didn't say anything. This time was different from the casual glance just now. He saw the girl's seemingly ordinary face. This face was familiar to him. If he was more mature, he would sprinkle some milk on it... …

Charlize Theron bypassed Matthew and reached out to pull the girl off the ground.

"I'm sorry..." The girl knocked off the dust on her clothes and said with a shy smile, "I just stabbed my foot."

"It's okay." Charlize Theron shook his head casually.

Matthew didn't think it was an accident. After all, the picture of the milk spilling all over his face left a deep impression on him. He just thought that this girl was really not an ordinary person.

"That..." The girl suddenly turned to Matthew and said, "I'm sorry, I almost bumped into you, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay," Matthew said casually.

He remembered "The Hunger Games" and asked Charlize Theron, "Aren't you going to introduce me?"

"This is Jennifer Lawrence, my partner in the crew." Charlize Theron briefly introduced, "Jenny, this is my friend Matthew."

James Lawrence quickly stretched out his right hand, "Hello, Matthew."

Matthew gave her a light shake. "Hello, Miss Lawrence."

"You can call me Jenny." Jennifer Lawrence said politely, "I like your movies very much. Strictly speaking, I am also your fan. I watched "I Am Legend" in the theater last year."

"Thank you for your support." Matthew was polite.

Jennifer Lawrence said a few more words to Matthew and Charlize Theron, and took the initiative to bid farewell and leave.

"This girl has a good personality." Charlize Theron looked at the direction Jennifer Lawrence was leaving, "It's very likable in the crew."

Matthew said, "Who was the last time I met a girl like that? Oh... yes, Jessica Alba."

"Huh?" Charles Theron wondered.

Matthew didn't say it clearly, he just said casually, "This girl has a hard mind."

The entrance of the studio is a very flat concrete floor. He just saw that Jennifer Lawrence is wearing a pair of flat shoes. An adult walking in such a place can suddenly fall?

When walking towards the entrance of the studio with Charlize Theron, he thought of the situation in Hollywood in the past two years. Now the actresses in the 70s are out of breath, the post-80s have just stepped into the front line, and the post-90s are ready to seize power .

There is a saying that is right, it is early to become famous, especially for actresses.

In the following period of time, Matthew fell into a busy work. On the one hand, he had to take due account of the shooting of "Twilight City" and "Fast and Furious 4", and on the other hand, he had to communicate with Helen Herman. Latest job negotiations.

In addition, Marvel is preparing to plan "Iron Man 2", and he has to follow up in time to avoid being kicked out of the game unknowingly.

Although Hollywood companies treat their peers with a contractual spirit, there may be some small moves behind the scenes.

Of course, it is also essential to cooperate with "Warner Bros." in the promotion of "Superman Hancock".

At the beginning of June, when "Iron Man" was released for a month, the North American box office of the film successfully exceeded 300 million US dollars, and the global box office also exceeded 500 million US dollars, and it is climbing towards higher box office figures.

This is undoubtedly very good news for Matthew.

At the same time, another good news came from Helen Herman. After nearly two months of tug-of-war negotiations, she officially reached an agreement with Warner Bros. on behalf of Matthew, who will be Christopher Nolan next. The actor of the new film "Inception".

Most of the negotiation time between the two parties was actually spent on negotiating Matthew's salary.

Regarding the basic salary of 20 million US dollars, the two parties reached a consensus early on, but the later share involved, every 0.1%, may be discussed for a long time.

The idea of ​​Matthew and Helen Herman is to directly divide the box office from the early stage, and the divided part is not limited to the North American box office, and adopts the method of sharing the percentage of the global box office.

Warner Bros. will definitely not agree happily. Christopher Nolan has a share of the director’s box office. If Matthew splits a portion of the early box office, the film’s box office profits may be reduced indefinitely.

Therefore, Warner Bros. wants to make Matthew accept the way of sharing the box office profits.

In this way, the negotiations between the two sides have been tug-of-war until a consensus was reached in June.

In the signed agreement, Matthew's share is limited to the North American box office of the film, but it is the early box office share, not the profit share.

The share ratio is still in a step-by-step manner. Starting from the North American box office of 100 million US dollars, in the future, the North American box office of the film will reach 100 million US dollars. ...

By analogy, for every $50 million increase in the North American box office, his share will increase by 1%, with a maximum of 10%.

In order to get Matthew to agree that the box office share was limited to the North American box office, not the global box office, Warner Bros. made appropriate concessions in other respects.

The most important of which is the new media copyright fee and DVD. In addition to the ratio stipulated by the Actors Guild, Matthew can also enjoy 10% of the film's future new media and DVD revenue as a personal dividend.

Today, Hollywood movies are generating more and more income on the new media on the Internet; although DVD has passed its hottest stage, DVD sales of blockbuster movies are still outstanding.

To this day, DVD is still one of the most important sources of revenue for major Hollywood production and distribution companies. It is not an exaggeration to say that Hollywood is still relying on DVDs to make money. Although the DVD sales of popular movies are no longer in the first week of over 100 million. , but the films that can enter the top ten of the North American annual box office charts, except for extremely rare cases, most of the final DVD sales can be sold for more than 100 million US dollars

And the production cost of DVDs is far lower than the once-popular video tapes, at most no more than 1% to 3% of the wholesale price sold by the producer and distributor to the seller. Even if marketing and other costs are included, the profit margin is still fear.

Matthew has researched the North American DVD market for the films "Fast & Furious 4" and "Twilight" ~www.readwn.com~.

Typically, on a single movie, if it's a hit, a studio can make $5 million to $8 million from a single rental company, and that's just the rental part, and the sales part is more than that.

That is to say, a popular movie Hollywood can get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue from DVD, and this revenue is almost all net profit.

After finalizing the actor of "Inception", Matthew got a more detailed project plan. The film will not start shooting until next year at the earliest. In the next time, the crew has to prepare in advance and find other suitable actor.

Many of the characters in this film are very heavy, and after reading the script carefully, Matthew called James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender and recommended them to Christopher Nolan.

After dealing with this contract with Warner Bros., he got another good news, Paramount Pictures and Stephen Sommers finally came up with the latest script - "Special" with Duke as the absolute hero. Troops' script!

After many considerations, Hasbro finally chose to compromise with the market. In the words of Stephen Sommers when he talked to Matthew on the phone: If even the first "Special Forces" film can't be successful, Hasbro and Pira Everything that Meng Pictures has done on this project makes no sense.

Neither Paramount Pictures nor Hasbro plan to shoot only one "Special Forces". As long as the first film is successful, some ideas can be put into the subsequent sequels.

Helen Hellman opened negotiations with Hasbro and Paramount Pictures on behalf of Matthew, who was caught up in the hectic announcement of Hancock for All.
