Best Movie Star

Following Amber Heard's gaze, Matthew looked over. McKenzie Foy was chatting with another young actor on the crew. In any way, this was a very cute and cute girl.

"It's cute." Matthew nodded.

A girl like that is sure to attract a lot of viewers, maybe the next Dakota Fanning.

Although Dakota Fanning grew up to be a little mediocre, he was brilliant as a child, and he is still one of the few child stars who really has market appeal.

Matthew hopes that McKenzie Foy will also bring some audiences in The Conjuring.

But Amber Heard's thoughts were obviously different from his, and he leaned closer and whispered, "Do you want me to find a day and bring McKenzie Foy to you?"

As soon as these words came out, Matthew frowned instantly and warned, "Amber, what are you thinking?"

What a joke, this kind of thing can't even be touched, the consequences are serious, let alone him, even Spielberg or George Lucas and others can't afford it.

"I..." Amber Heard originally wanted to please Matthew, but he didn't expect Matthew's reaction to be so big.

Matthew shook his head, "Okay, let's go to work."

Amber Heard didn't move, "I... did I say something wrong?"

Matthew said casually, "It's okay." His voice then turned stern, "Don't say that again."

Amber Heard nodded quickly, "I see."

Matthew waved his hand, "Go to work."

Amber Heard nodded again and left.

For Amber Heard's proposal, Matthew didn't even think about it, and hurriedly threw it to the back of his mind.

The protection and importance of children in civilized society is well known. From the government, social welfare institutions, judicial organs and the public, there is a consensus that whenever children's rights are violated, they will rush to defend the rights and interests of children.

In this regard, once the relevant laws are violated, they will be subject to severe legal sanctions.

Roman Polanski is a lesson in the past.

It doesn't matter if you make a dozen or 20 mistakes, and some mistakes can be done once and for all.

Based on the foundation laid by "Latent" before, the filming and production of "The Conjuring" went relatively smoothly, and Matthew is also confident in James Wen's ability.

Moreover, even if "The Conjuring" increased to a production budget of 15 million US dollars, in his current investment, it can only be regarded as a small production.

In contrast, the hard science fiction project "The Martian" has already reached the threshold of Hollywood's first-line production.

"Matthew, you know, a sci-fi movie wants to be good, and a large budget is indispensable."

In a studio at Disney Studios, Ridley-Scott told Matthew, "A $100 million budget is the bare minimum, and I can't guarantee the performance of the film any lower."

Matthew replied, "A $100 million production budget is fine."

Although he can invest more, as an investor, he must consider the investment profit ratio, and he can make additional investments at any time, without worrying about the lack of funds causing the film to be rough.

With this $100 million investment, he has made Bella Anderson ready.

Last year, after "Fast and Furious 5" went offline, a total of 3.536 million DVD and Blu-ray discs were sold in North America, and the share of this part alone was as high as 80 million US dollars. It is enough to invest in the project "The Martian".

Matthew is mentally prepared for investment. Real sci-fi films are all money-burning works. You can't let the protagonist brag and then advertise himself as a sci-fi film, right?

Ridley-Scott added, "The film will start shooting in the second half of the year. There is a lot of preparatory work now. You'd better watch it."

"Okay." Matthew didn't refuse.

He is not only the hero of the film, but also an investor and producer.

Preparations for this film began last year, and now a lot of preparations are underway, and some of the crew who took the initiative to contact have achieved good results.

The project has received the full support of NASA. NASA has given great support to the film, allowing the crew to enter multiple NASA bases for on-site shooting. Among the scripts that the crew has completed, there are 50 pages of details about NASA. The image and actions of the astronauts presented in the film are in line with reality.

Ridley-Scott planned a roughly 70-day shooting cycle for the film, with 21 days of NASA-detailed content planned.

NASA support can save the crew a lot of trouble shooting.

For example, NASA provided the crew with a lot of technical support, and pointed out some unscientific aspects of the original work. The crew also modified the script appropriately to ensure that it is more scientific and practical.

According to the people at NASA, the mission performed by the male protagonists on Mars is actually one of the Mars plans they plan to implement in the future.

It's just a coincidence.

However, the space suit designed by the crew based on NASA's space suit was rejected by both Matthew and Ridley-Scott. The space suit in reality is huge and bulky, just like the one worn by Buzz Lightyear in "Toy Story" clothes like.

Neither Matthew nor Ridley-Scott liked this kind of clothes, so they went back and asked the costumers to redesign them, asking for more practicality and aesthetics based on the reference to real space suits.

Although this is a hard sci-fi movie, it is a commercial movie after all.

From the beginning of this year to early February, Ridley-Scott led a team to visit many desert areas overseas. He wanted to find a location suitable for shooting scenes on the surface of Mars. The earliest one went to Morocco, a traditional Hollywood location. But when I arrived there, I found out that the political situation in Morocco was a little unstable, which was not very suitable.

Then, they went to Jordan to inspect the famous "rose desert" Wadi Rum, and quickly rejected it.

The Middle East is even more chaotic. It seems that an organization called IS is making trouble recently. Westerners are really not safe there.

Finally, after several investigations, the crew decided to shoot in a desert and desert combined area in Queensland, Australia.

In addition, filming here can also win the support of the local government. Queensland also has film tax rebates, and the crew is negotiating there with special personnel in order to obtain the largest tax rebate amount.

A crew like this can bring hundreds of jobs to the local area.

Some interior scenes will also be shot in Queensland. The crew has rented a local studio. In order to pursue realistic effects, Ridley Scott plans to open up a small field in the studio to grow potatoes and grow them completely naturally. , used to shoot the scene where the actor grows food to survive on Mars.

In terms of distribution of the film, Bella Anderson is negotiating with Walt Disney, and if nothing else happens, it will be handed over to Disney for distribution.

"American Sniper" is distributed by Warner Bros., "The Martian" is different, and Disney is undoubtedly more suitable.

The former is simply impossible to appear in the film market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. You don't even think about it, and there is no way to cut it. Matthew never thought that "American Sniper" could be released in the theater there.

In contrast, "The Martian" has little problem with the review, and Disney's distribution there has an advantage.

And Matthew has also discussed with Ridley-Scott, and will add some elements from the other side of the Pacific Ocean in the film, such as the space agency over there to provide necessary help.

There is also a female character who is not too light or heavy.

He has already greeted Nini, and the role will basically be handed over to her.

Matthew doesn't plan to develop more relationships between men and women there. After all, the beasts are powerful, so it's better not to be targeted.

Of course, he will personally examine all the scenes related to that side, so as not to make some low-level mistakes.

In fact, the big scissors over there will be more and more tolerant towards commercial films. As long as the most sensitive principles are not touched, it is not difficult to pass the trial.

There is indeed no clear standard for large scissors, but there are more general standards.

In addition, the crew is attracting investment on the other side of the Pacific Ocean in order to win more embedded advertising revenue.

At present, several major manufacturers are negotiating. If all goes well, there may be a Lenovo computer terminal connected to the Inspur server from the Shenzhou spacecraft launched by the Long March rocket to perform NASA's distribution tasks...

In terms of the release schedule~www.readwn.com~ Next year's summer schedule may be a bit rushed, but it can only be set in the holiday schedule around Thanksgiving.

Finally, it's the casting of the cast.

Matthew has already reserved a role for Lily Collins, and the rest will basically be auditioned.

The news of the preparation of this project has long been circulated. Among them, the female character Melissa Lewis is very concerned in the circle. People like Emma Adams, Emma Stone and Jessica Chastain have all told the crew Recommended by myself.

Before the Oscars, Matthew accepted an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, which focused on his upcoming "Fast and Furious 6" and "The Martian" this year.

Needless to say about the former, the sequel to the big-selling movie will naturally attract people's attention.

So, Matthew's focus is on The Martian, especially director Ridley Scott.

In the past two years, Ridley-Scott has encountered too much trouble, **** up several films one after another, causing the media and the industry to suspect him.

"For fans around the world, Ridley is the foremost genre master in film history. His extensive and unwavering exploration of the many genres of film, his profound knowledge and virtuosity have resulted in an extraordinary film career. Whether it is the span of the genre or the depth, he has achieved a brilliant record and has made outstanding contributions to the enrichment and development of film genres."

Matthew made no secret of his admiration for Ridley-Scott, "Especially in sci-fi films, Ridley has devoted a lot of effort, from "Alien" to "Blade Runner" to this "Blade Runner" The Martian, every Ridley sci-fi movie is bound to make fans relish.”

At the end of February, Matthew, like most of Hollywood, turned his attention to the Oscars.
