Angel Brokerage, inside Helen Hermann's office.

Matthew sat on a chair at his desk and looked carefully at the script that Sean Daniel sent him yesterday afternoon. The script was not thick, only about one hundred pages. As a simple and clear script for commercial films, with his current reading level, it is very easy to understand.

Although it was a remake, what Sean Daniel said was true. The crew repeatedly polished the plot. In mid-March, his crew had a script framework and setting. Now it was not until the end of May that the first draft of the script was released. This is very efficient for Hollywood's industrial assembly line model.

According to Helen Hermann, the reason for inefficiency is not that the crew is not strong, but that Sean Daniel has asked people to polish the script repeatedly in order to be more in line with Matthew's acting style.

The reason why Sean Daniel did this is also very simple. In May, Disney Pictures held several trials for "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl". The trials were widely circulated in the circle and had a lot of reputation. Especially for the evaluations of the two leading actors Johnny Depp and Matthew, they were so good that they could not be better in commercial movies.

Even Disney Pictures has put the sequel on the agenda and will announce the news to the public just when the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" breaks out in the first week.

Matthew understands Sean Daniel's approach very well, especially after he has been gaining popularity with Kayla Knightley recently, Hollywood is like this. You take advantage of my popularity, I take advantage of your popularity, as long as you can become famous and rich together, these are all trivial matters.

Helen Hermann sat on her office chair and was also flipping through another script. She roughly read the script last night, and this time she read it more carefully.

Selecting and striving for work for its actors is the most basic ability of entertainment agents.

Matthew was not very quick to read. When he encountered some scenes he thought were good, he would build scenes in his mind. Nearly one morning passed, and only two-thirds of the scripts with about one hundred pages and relatively sparse texts had been read.

To be honest, he does not have real concepts or ability to judge the quality of the script.

The films he starred in in the past can be roughly divided into two categories.

One type is a film that was starring as an extra or an ordinary actor. At that time, there was no fame or capital. It was a chance to go on it. First show your face in the film, try to make it look familiar, and earn some living expenses at the same time.

During this period, he was not choosing the crew and scripts, but the other party chose him.

Later, he became famous, especially trying his best to get the role of Will Turner in "Pirates of the Caribbean", which has nothing to do with the ability to judge the script, and is completely cheating.

Similarly, the remake of "Dawn of the Living Dead" did not directly refuse Sean Daniel and Zach Schneider, because of Zach Schneider's former reputation.

A new director who transformed from the advertising industry to the film industry and later became a first-line commercial film director in the industry. His first work is definitely not a flop.

This is Matthew's most direct judgment on the script and project.

After living in Hollywood for several years, he knew very well that the script was just one of many conditions for success in a movie. The initiator, producer and director of the project were far more important than the script. Ordinary scripts became movies with big box office success in the hands of outstanding producers and directors, and the amazing scripts finally turned into bad movies. In the past Hollywood history, there were too many examples of Hollywood.

Matthew has read the script of "Dawn of the Living Dead" and confirmed that the script meets the consistent standards of Hollywood's industrial assembly line. He did not think about whether it was good or bad. He first listed the advantages and conditions of this project in his mind.

The initiator and producer of "Dawn of the Living Dead" is Sean Daniel, and the director is Zach Schneider. The production company and distribution company are Universal Pictures...

Just like when I first came into contact, Matthew's judgment was very simple, and this is a very, very reliable combination.

It’s not too late to consider the script before confirming these.

The first sentence of the whole script left a deep impression on Matthew. The room in hell was full, so death climbed into the world...

The male protagonist in this script is set as a powerful swat member. During a mission, a plague broke out suddenly. He survived with his strong skills, rescued the young and beautiful heroine in the middle, and then came to the commercial center, which is the main venue of the movie.

The male protagonist has a lot of action scenes, and his body shape, appearance and skills are basically set by him. For example, this swat player is a fanatical free fighting enthusiast, etc. To be precise, the male protagonist can deal with not very many zombies.

From Matthew's judgment, the male protagonist still uses coolness and selling skills as the main selling points. Compared with his past roles, the selling points mainly increase one aspect, that is, the degree of blood.

In the words of Zach Schneider's comments in the script, the audience needs to enjoy the pleasure of the hero slaughtering zombies in a crazy way!

In addition, the male protagonist and the female protagonist may be more appropriate to describe it as the first supporting actress. There is a love scene and the scale will be relatively large. After all, this is definitely an R-level film, and there is no need to avoid large-scale dramas.

The final movie is hard to say, but from the description of the script, this is indeed very suitable for his acting career. Moreover, after playing costume action roles one after another, a modern role will also help him broaden his acting career.

Although it is still limited to the scope of action movies, it is separated from the relatively narrow category of ancient costumes, and the development space of action movies is broad enough for him now.

If this film is successful, he can take on modern action scenes and temporarily leave the costume action movies.

Thinking of this, Matthew closed the script and placed it on Helen Herman's desk. Helen Herman looked up at Matthew, and closed the script and placed it on the desk.

Helen Hermann asked, "What do you think?"

Matthew didn't hide it and said directly, "I think I can go ahead."

Helen Hermann did not speak immediately, and his fingers gently lit the armrest of the chair, as if thinking.

"Where are you?" asked Matthew, "Helen, what about you?"

Helen Hermann stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, and said, "The role is indeed very suitable for you. Sean did not break his promise. The male protagonist almost sets it with you as a template. As long as the director can be half the level of Gore Vibinsky, I have no doubt that you can make this character outstanding."

Matthew knew that she had not finished speaking yet, and did not answer, so he continued to listen to her.

"I have analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this project very clearly for you last time." Helen Hermann said with his hands on his chest, "I think it's risky, but it's worth it."

She sat back in her office chair, "There is no movie in Hollywood that does not have risks."

Matthew has the same opinion on this. If you want to star in a movie, you don’t take risks. Don’t compete for the male lead. You should always play a small role like a passerby. It’s guaranteed that no one or any company will put the responsibility for the failure of the movie on its head.

Helen Hermann also said, "Shawn chose the shooting time as well. It will be filmed from mid-August to September. If "Pirates of the Caribbean" is successful, you will become famous. At this time, you will take on new works, which will be helpful to you and the film!"

Matthew nodded, no longer hesitated, and said, "You can contact Sean."

Of course, negotiations must be done by the broker.

Helen Hermann waved his hand, "The time is not right now, and the formal negotiations must be done before we start after the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Matthew understood that this would be the only way to win the greatest benefit for himself. If we talk about it now, he would be just a third-rate star and his salary would not be high.

"In this way, you have some doubts and dissatisfaction with the script." Helen Hermann was already thinking about how to delay it. "I'll negotiate with Sean, and it will take time to modify the script."

She smiled and said, "I think Sean also knows we can't sign before the release of Pirates of the Caribbean, and he might be waiting."

"This is a great possibility." Matthew also thought so.

If "Pirates of the Caribbean" is successful after the release, the cooperation will naturally go smoothly; if it fails, what Sean Daniel said before will probably be invalidated, and the male protagonist may be changed.

Hollywood rejects scripts, and changing them is never a big deal.

After Matthew and Helen Herman agreed on the project, they remembered another thing, "Will the shooting time conflict with Jerry Brookheimer's project about independence?"

"No!" Helen Hermann said in detail, "Jerry Brookheimer has encountered financing problems. He has invested everywhere in the past few months. He has just solved the advance budget of "King Arthur". Another project is facing a funding gap of tens of millions of dollars. Disney Pictures has tight liquidity. He has not found a suitable investor yet. It may take some time to delay. I guess it will be good if the filming will start early next year."

"There is no suitable investor?" Matthew suddenly felt that this might be useful to him, but without thinking about it, he asked again, "What about the content of this project?"

"It is said that the script is not nervous at all." Helen Hermann shook his head, "I haven't heard the specific content yet. I will notify you if there is any news."

She suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Kayla Knightley has agreed to play the heroine in "King Arthur". Jerry Brookheimer asked me about the hero, and I politely rejected him with the project "Dawn of the Living Dead".

"Kaila takes over the heroine of "King Arthur"?" Matthew frowned slightly.
