Chapter 302: Quality is not weight

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

It was not just Charlize Theron. When Matthew was discussing the script and role with director Doug Reeman, he learned that more people would participate in the heroine's audition. After several top-tier brands took the initiative to reject the audition invitation, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" slightly lowered the standards. Five or six second-tier stars who were interested in Jane Smith received the audition invitation.

Among them are well-known figures such as Penelope Cruz, Milla Jovovic and Jessica Bale.

As the Oscar winner last year, his salary was not very high, and Charlize Theron also received an invitation to audition.

Although she is an Oscar winner, Charlize Theron's box office appeal is not outstanding. Her best box office film so far is "Stealing the Sky" starring as a pure vase.

Of course, Charlize Theron also has an advantage. The name of the Oscar winner is here, and many crews are still quite willing to buy it.

The Oscar for Best Actress is indeed a curse, but looking at Hollywood, you can find that the movie stars who won the Best Actress are very popular afterwards.

But many people are unlucky and will keep slapping all the way...

Most Oscar winners often repeat one way, get a Little Golden Man, get a film contract, and lose your blood when you miss the film, but with the Oscar winner's halo, usually, if you can turn over in time, there is still a lot of potential in the future.

No matter what, the topic and influence of the Oscar Best Actress are very huge.

Matthew is preparing for his role, and is also paying attention to the latest situation of the heroine. In his spare time, he also looked at the progress of the shocking gossip of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston.

Angelina Jolie is very high-profile and keeps appearing in front of reporters and media. Anyone who speaks will inevitably mention Pitt.

In contrast, Jennifer Aniston is much more low-key and has never made a public appearance since he asked his agent and spokesperson to announce his divorce.

Her low-keyness also helped Brad Pitt in some ways. The whitewashing plan carried out by Brad Pitt's public relations media had a certain effect. Pitt's fans used the Internet as their base and accused Jennifer Aniston of concealing the fact that she could not get pregnant from Brad Pitt.

Jennifer Aniston never spoke, but once again asked the spokesperson to issue a divorce statement.

“…I hope to obtain the most loyal relationship deep in my soul, but he has the right to choose another situation, so he chooses to break up.”

While making the statement, Jennifer Aniston once again emphasized that he would not ask Brad Pitt for a cent.

Jennifer Aniston has such capital and confidence. "Friends" just ended in May. She is above Brad Pitt in terms of wealth and status.

It is recognized in the Hollywood circle that Rachel married Pitt back then.

Matthew speculated that "Friends" is over this year, and Jennifer Aniston's value will definitely decrease. Did Brad Pitt choose this time to end the marriage?

In fact, he can't blame him for speculation. Looking at Brad Pitt's history of fame, women have become stepping stones. Matthew also admires Brad Pitt very much. He keeps borrowing his girlfriends to climb to the position of superstars, which is not something that anyone can do.

This shocking gossip will inevitably be circulated for many years and will become one of the most famous gossip events in Hollywood history.

During this period, Matthew was still thinking about how to try to persuade Aziva Gossman and told him not to choose Nicole Kidman for the heroine, but what he didn't expect was that after the previous actresses, Nicole Kidman also turned down the audition for the role of Jane Smith before the preview was approaching.

She turned down the audition because of the choice problem.

According to reliable information Matthew received from Helen Herman, Nicole Kidman reached an agreement with Sony Columbia Pictures to star in the film adapted from "The Fairy Wife" filmed by ABC in 1964, with a pay of up to $20 million, and a pure $20 million that does not involve the post-production share.

This huge pay is definitely the top spot for female celebrities. Nicole Kidman will naturally no longer choose "Mr. Smiths" with much lower pay, and quitting becomes a natural thing.

Even the crew of "The Fairy Wife in the Family" took the initiative to reveal to the outside world that Nicole Kidman's pay was as high as $20 million!

This will not only allow Nicole Kidman to win the title of a club of 20 million, but also help the film promotion.

The 20 million club is out of reach for actresses. In contrast, the heroine of "Mrs. Smith" is really not attractive at all.

Matthew was relieved to leave the super box office poison to harm other crews and actors. Even if Charlize Theron couldn't win the heroine in the end, the other latecomers were not very famous.

Just as Matthew was preparing for "Mr. Smiths", he received a call from James McAvoy, who and Michael Fassbender came to Los Angeles from England.

The three of them kept in touch, but because of busy work, they didn't see each other for a while.

"Hi, Matthew!"

In a Burbank club, James McAvoy saw Matthew and immediately came over and gave him a bear hug, "You boy, you are stronger than before!"

Matthew hugged James McAvoy first, then hugged Michael Fassbender next to him, and said, "You two are finally willing to leave Britain?"

Originally, Michael Fassbender stayed in Los Angeles and developed, but returned to London the previous year to perform on stage plays.

James McAvoy shrugged, "There is nothing wrong with Britain, the competition is not as fierce as Hollywood."

Michael Fassbender added, "It's just that the weather is too bad."

Matthew laughed and asked James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to sit down. Then the waiter brought the wine he had specially purchased. The three of them started drinking while chatting.

Compared to Matthew, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender's development was not smooth. Matthew once wanted to help them, but James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender both refused one after another.

They all cherish this hard-won "comrade-in-arms friendship" with Matthew, and they also know that many friendships will often change rapidly once they are affected by interests.

Matthew also knew this and originally wanted to help them within his ability. Since James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender did not accept it, of course he would not force it.

"Matthew, let me be honest!" Michael Fassbender said with a glass of wine, showing a shark-like smile, "How many female stars have you slept?"

"Not many, just a few." Matthew seemed very modest.

James McAvoy said, "Not many? Who are there?" Before Matthew spoke, he calculated, "Let me count, how many female celebrities have had scandals with you. Kayla Knightley counts one, Jessica Alba is one, and Scarlett Johnson..."

He looked at Michael Fassbender, and Michael Fassbender said in a very tacit understanding, "If you count this way, there are not many."

"It's not that there are not many, but too few!" James McAvoy looked very contemptuous, "You have been famous for more than a year, right? Have you just gotten a few female stars? Don't say you know Michael and I when you go out, you are so efficient!"

Matthew was actually despised by James McAvoy. He was very angry and said, "James, what do you know? This is called weight but not weight!"

James McAvoy snorted, "You are too bad at picking up girls, right? Don't be embarrassed to admit it." He pointed to himself, "There is a master sitting in front of you, you can ask for advice at any time."

Matthew waved his hand, "You? Maybe you are still a virgin now!"

Michael Fassbender interjected, "I can guarantee that James is not."

Matthew deliberately looked at Michael Fassbender with surprise, and then looked at James McAvoy.

James McAvoy raised his middle finger directly, "Put your mean thoughts."

Matthew was innocent, “Did I say anything?”

Michael Fassbender picked up the wine glass and stuffed it into his hand. "Matthew, if you think about it randomly, I promise to get you drunk with James and throw it into the gay bar."

Matthew took a sip of the wine first, then changed the topic, "Okay, let's talk about why you two left London."

"It's very simple." Michael Fassbender picked up the bottle and poured wine for Matthew. "James got a role and was going to come here to shoot. I happened to be taking an audition, so I came together."

"Oh?" Matthew asked curiously, "James, what role did you get?"

"A work from Disney Pictures." James McAvoy said directly, "A child-oriented film based on C-S-Louis's "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", my character is a half-sheep."

Matthew nodded and asked Michael Fassbender again, "Where are you?"

Michael Fassbender said with a smile, "The character in a small production of Paramount Pictures."

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Matthew didn't continue to ask. The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time. Drinking and chatting was the main thing. Occasionally, they would brag about their respective achievements in picking up girls.

They didn't leave the club until late at night. Matthew found a driver and sent James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender back to the hotel they checked in before returning home.
