Chapter five hundred and eighty ninth progress is smooth

With that plan, Matthew first went to Warner Studio to pick up Alexandra Dadario, and then went to her apartment in North Hollywood together. Alexandra Dadario made dinner himself. After dinner, he picked up Justin Lin's plan and read it carefully.

Although Alexandra Dadario's body fascinated him, he would not forget the serious matters because of this.

"Did today go well?" Alexandra Dadario asked with concern, "Are you sure the director?"

Matthew said without leaving the plan, "No. But there is a candidate."

He picked up the plan and shook it, "This is his shooting and production plan. I just watched it for half, which is very good."

Alexandra Dadario nodded, and seeing that Matthew's focus was not on her at all, he simply shut up and took out his cell phone to fiddle with it.

Matthew glanced at her and continued to look at Justin Lin's plan.

This plan is very complete. It takes into account all aspects and is a hundred times more trustworthy than those who want to get the worker if you speak verbally. In fact, no matter whether you are fighting for the director's lead role, or other important positions in the crew or crew, it is impossible to say some empty words, and people must believe that you can do it.

It is not difficult to see from the plan that Justin Lin has made a lot of preparations for this director position.

He mentioned the concept of family, and whoever hurts my family will chase him to the end; spending money like a flowing water explosion and car chase scenes, which is something the audience likes; there are also some sketches about speed design, etc.

Even the plan mentioned something that Matthew and the screenwriters ignored. Justin Lin believed that this fourth part should be based on the past and the future, and the style of the entire series should be improved and determined!

In addition to these, Justin Lin spent money to hire a survey company to conduct targeted market research. In the first three plots, most of the viewers who watched the film were young fans under the age of 25, while male audiences accounted for 55%, and female audiences accounted for 45%.

This is almost exactly consistent with the results of the preliminary sampling survey conducted by Sky Dance Pictures.

Seeing Matthew busy with work, Alexandra Dadario found a newspaper today and also looked through it. When she saw a piece of news, she said to Matthew, "There is an exclusive interview with Brad Pitt here."

Matthew raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"About the movie "Cloud Map", Alexandra Dadario quickly browsed it and said concisely, "Brad Pitt said that the film will enter the early development stage from June, and will be officially underway at the end of this year or early next year. The list of main creators that the crew has already had is also announced."

"Who is there?" Matthew continued.

Alexandra Dadario replied, "The director is the Wachowski brothers, and they are also producers. The male and female protagonists Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman are also producers. Halle Berry, Hugo Wein and Jim Bradburnter have agreed to play the corresponding roles."

She looked up at Matthew, "The Wachowski brothers are very appealing."

Matthew nodded slightly, "This is normal, the influence of the "Matrix" series is still there."

If the Wachowski brothers had no influence, including Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman, these people would certainly not work with them.

"Natalie Portman actually served as the producer!" Alexandra Dadario said with emotion, "There are not many female celebrities who can serve as the producer, right?"

Matthew said calmly, "Only a few big brands on the front line can do it."

Alexandra Dadario added, "Also, Brad Pitt said that Natalie Portman had just become the ambassador of the United Nations Women and Children's Fund and would go to Geneva to participate in the United Nations global conference on women, children and refugees in the second half of the year."

She said with a hint of emotion, "Natalie Portman has made her look very high."

Speaking of this, Alexandra Dadario couldn't help but look at Matthew and laughed, "Your style is also very high."

Matthew smiled, didn't answer, and continued to read his plan.

Alexandra Dadario asked, "Are you not the goodwill ambassador of the UNHCR? Are you going to attend this meeting, too?"

“Helen has received an invitation from UNHCR.”

Speaking of this, Matthew suddenly closed the plan and asked Alexandra Dadario, "You just said that Natalie Portman was also the producer of "Cloud Map."

"Have you listened to me?" Alexandra Dadario complained first, then nodded, "Yes."

She picked up the newspaper and shook it at Matthew, "Brad Pitt said in the interview that he proposed Natalie Portman as the producer."

Matthew lightly pointed his finger. Brad Pitt was able to let Natalie Portman serve as the producer, which shows that the relationship between the two is pretty good. At least in the filming of "Cloud Map", it will be maintained during the honeymoon period. Brad Pitt was also recommended by Natalie Portman to the Wachowski brothers.

Thinking of this, he took the phone that was placed aside, edited a text message, and sent it to Helen Hermann.

After receiving the invitation from the United Nations Refugee Agency, he was hesitant to go to Geneva to attend the United Nations Conference on Refugees, Women and Children. He has now decided to attend and let Helen Hermann coordinate the schedule for him.

Then I'll take a trip to Geneva.

After receiving a text message from Helen Hermann, Matthew put away Justin Lin's plan, walked to Alexandra Dadario, took her hand, and walked towards the bedroom together.

Work has come to an end for the time being, and it’s time to surf, and you can’t ignore relaxation and enjoyment even if you are busy.

The next morning, Matthew received a call from Aziva Gossman and went to Warner Studios specifically. He got the latest version of the script "Superman Hancock" from Aziva Gossman. He revised and modified the script many times. This time he swears to tell Matthew that this is the version that was finally used for shooting.

Matthew had no choice but to throw the previous script aside and then study the new script. The theme framework of the new script has not changed, but many scenes have been adjusted. To be precise, the whole drama has a faster pace, simpler plot, and a happier atmosphere.

He immediately contacted Charlize Theron. Charlize Theron was not in Los Angeles. Aziva Gossman had sent the script airmail to South Africa.

In addition to taking into account other work, Matthew also wants to prepare for the filming of "Superman Hancock". The crew has already accommodated him. In order to cooperate with him in promoting the two films "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" and "Transformers", he deliberately pushed the shooting date to mid-July.

It is the summer season now, with two movies directly related to him released. Matthew often leaves Los Angeles to run announcements, and often promotes "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" today, and will go to the platform for "Transformers" tomorrow.

Based on his words about toys and nostalgia, the crew of "Transformers" formulated a complete emotional publicity plan. Before it was released, it attracted a lot of popularity in North America, especially the steel wires, one by one, in the media, the Internet and social networking websites, remembering every bit of childhood and Transformers in various ways.

The influence of sentiment marketing easily exceeded the previous activity of choosing lines for Optimus Prime. Even if the lines selected in that activity were very loud and free and right belonged to all living beings.

This is also the concept of Optimus Prime in the movie. Only with this concept as the basis can Optimus Prime become an undercover agent of human beings with confidence.

From the beginning of June to the end of June, the promotional notices for these two films came to an end for a while, and Matthew finally had time to spend his energy to deal with other issues.

First of all, in terms of Project B films and "Cloud Map", Helen Hermann and Bella Anderson have been staring at Brad Pitt and Wachowski, and the project "Cloud Map" is also very high-profile. This is the second highest investment film in Project B since "Troy". The last time Warner Bros. jointly invested to share risks, this time it will be Project B to operate independently.

In order to promote and expand its influence, this project has always been very high-profile. Various news can be easily collected. The production budget of "Cloud Map" is $100 million, of which Brad Pitt personally raised $40,000, and the remaining $60,000 was raised through the Film Foundation and the pre-sales.

Project b also reached an agreement with Sony Columbia Pictures, and Project b will be responsible for global distribution.

In addition, Bella Anderson also told him a gossip news that Natalie Portman and Brad Pitt have been very close recently, which aroused dissatisfaction from Angelina Jolie, and it is said that they had a big fight with Brad Pitt.

In short, the project "Cloud Map" is progressing smoothly, and everything is developing on the right track.

After paying attention to these things, Matthew took the time to meet Justin Lin several times. The bearded Jack's team has finished his assessment and believes that he is a director of the subsequent works of the "Fast and Furious" series under the current conditions.

Helen Hermann had a similar opinion.

After discussing with David Ellison, Matthew decided to start Justin Lin, and officially signed a director contract with Justin Lin at the end of June. Because he had messed up "Tokyo Drift", Justin Lin's director's pay was very low. Sky Dance Films will of course lower the price, and it was only $1.5 million on the contract.

In addition, Matthew also borrowed from Marvel's approach and signed a director contract for the trilogy with Justin Lin at one time.

Of course, there are also note clauses in the contract. If the box office of the fourth part does not meet expectations, Justin Lin will naturally be kicked out.
