Following a burly bodyguard, Ronan Farrow entered a private club in Beverly Hills, walked around the long corridor to an outside of a reception room, and waited for the bodyguard to open the door and followed him in.

There were not many people in the reception room, and in addition to Matthew Horner himself, there was also the bodyguard leader he had met.

"Hello, Mr. Horner." Ronan Farrow knew that the identities of both sides were not equal, so he quickly introduced himself, "My name is Ronan Farrow, and he is a reporter from "The New Yorker."

Matthew nodded at him, "Hello, Mr. Farrow." He pointed to the sofa next to Brown Williams and said, "Please sit."

Ronan Farrow went over and sat down, unconsciously glanced at Brown Williams sitting next to him. He was not a fool. It could be seen that Matthew Horner had a good attitude, but he was alert and specifically asked him to sit next to the bodyguard.

He didn't care. No matter who had experienced such a serious shooting, he would become vigilant.

Matthew asked quite politely, "Do you have something to tell me about the director of the sequel to "Special Forces"?"

"Yes." Ronan Farrow knew that facing such a big shot, he had to show sincerity. "I got the news that Paramount Pictures wanted to replace director Stephen Somos and use a man named Jon Zhu as the director of the sequel."

Matthew nodded, "I've got the news."

"I don't know what you plan?" Ronan Faro asked anxiously.

As soon as he asked this, he knew that he had lost his words. He quickly calmed down and explained with a smile, "As we all know, Mr. Horner is friends with director Stephen Somos. He became famous when he debuted. Mr. Horner and director Stephen Somos became famous. Mr. Horner has a close relationship with director Stephen Somos. He won't watch director Stephen Somos being kicked out by Paramount Pictures, right?"

"Oh?" Matthew could see that Ronan Farrow had no intention of finding him, "Do you know Director Stephen Somos?"

Ronan Farrow shook his head, "I don't know you, I've never seen you."

Matthew looked at him but didn't say anything.

Ronan Farrow felt the pressure and said, "I know Jon Ju."

Hearing this, Matthew immediately made a judgment, "Do you have a grudge with Jon-Zhu?"

"So," Ronan Farrow thought about the words and said, "I don't want to see Jon Ju become the director of such a highly-watched project."

He looked at Matthew, "I believe that at this point, I am in line with Mr. Horner's position."

After a period of adaptation, Ronan Farrow's expression became clearer. "I guess Mr. Horner is not willing to let such an unqualified new director become the director of the film you starred in?"

This is true, very similar to the opinion that Matthew had reached with Helen Herman before.

However, Matthew did not respond and asked, "Are you sure I will support Director Stephen Somos?"

Ronan Farrow was not sure about this, so he came to the door, but he would not admit it, and said with a smile, "I have studied your resume, Mr. Horner, and found that many people have very deep misunderstandings about you."

Matthew raised his eyebrows gently, "Is that right?"

"Yes!" Ronan Farrow is a reporter who has his own analysis of people and things. "Many people only see you standing at the current height while standing on your competitors, but never see your attitude towards your friends."

He gradually speeded up his speech, "Mr. Horner values ​​friendship and friendship. As long as he can help friends, you will take the initiative to help. I have analyzed in particular that you will treat friends you met before you become famous and those who have helped you... how to say, you will give them far more rewards than they have paid."

"For example, the director and producer of Stephen Somos, who once supported you in the Mummy series and "The Scorpion King", was Sean Daniel." Ronan Farrow came here to make full preparations this time. "Shaun Daniel's career has fallen to a low point in the past two years, and no film company is willing to start him again. It is you, Mr. Horner, who hired him as the producer of the Twilight series when Sean Daniel needed help the most."

Matthew looked at Ronan Farrow but didn't speak.

Because these are basically facts, when I hired Sean Daniel, I felt that his ability was fine, and on the other hand, I might not have been unable to help him.

After all, Sean Daniel and Stephen Somos chose him as the Scorpion King, which really made him take a key step in becoming famous.

Ronan Farrow continued, "The fundamental media reports that Mr. Horner was the first to be invited by director Stephen Somos."

His tone is quite complimentary, "A person like Mr. Horner who is affectionate and kind to his friends will certainly not sit idly by and watch director Stephen Somos be squeezed out by a new director like Jon Zhu."

Matthew smiled. This was the first time someone told him clearly that he was a kind and righteous person in front of him.

"So I've always been a good person."

This thought flashed through his head, but he asked, "Tell me, what kind of hatred do you have with Jon-Zhu?"

When Ronan Farrow heard Matthew's question, he breathed a little relieved. Although he was not sure whether Matthew was really on Stephen Somos' side, the question was already somewhat biased.

Matthew Horner took the initiative to stand on Stephen Somos' side, which is naturally the most ideal.

Ronan Farrow pondered for a moment and said, "I don't like Jon Ju very much."

Matthew smiled and shook his head. Is this a reason?

"Because Jon Zhu is recommended by Woody Allen to Paramount Pictures, it can even be said that Jon Zhu is Woody Allen's student." Ronan Farrow knew that it was useless to talk about messing around at this time, so he simply told the truth, "Woody Allen likes and appreciates Jon Zhu very much."

He suddenly flashed his eyes, "What Woody Allen likes is what I hate!"

Matthew looked at Ronan Farrow with doubts in his eyes. The young man seemed to have a lot of resentment towards Woody Allen. Could it be that Woody Allen had fucked his sister?

Ronan Farrow explained at this time, "My mother is Mia Farrow."

After hearing this name, Matthew suddenly realized that Woody Allen really had this young reporter's sister.

Matthew nodded slowly, "I understand."

The grudge between Woody Allen and Mia Farrow is well known to everyone in Hollywood. Of course, he has also heard that Mia Farrow's son hated Woody Allen as a father, which is normal.

The complex ethical relationship between this family is difficult to explain even a TV series. Matthew didn't ask too much, but just said casually, "Woody Allen is your father after all."

"I don't have such a father." Ronan Farrow suddenly became expressionless. "Woody Allen should go to jail! All bastards who force women to have sex should be sent to jail to go to electric chairs!"

Matthew looked at Ronan Farrow and suddenly felt that this young reporter was a little interesting.

The sons of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow were influenced by their mothers since childhood. It is estimated that Woody Allen forced women...

Woody Allen has indeed paid a lot of attention in recent years, but there are more messes in Hollywood in the 1980s and 1990s than now.

Could this Ronan Farrow be a person who has a father with a serious record, which leads to extreme development of his thoughts and personality in a certain aspect?

Thinking of this, Matthew didn't say much, but said lightly, "Mr. Farrow, I understand what you mean."

Ronan Farrow has his own judgment and thinks Matthew will support Stephen Somos.

Matthew said again, "This way, leave your contact information, and I will call you if there is any place you need to help in the future."

Ronan Farrow quickly took out his business card and handed it to Brown Williams, saying, "Mr. Horner, if Jon Zhu is out, you can contact me if you use me in the future."

"I will." Matthew nodded to Ronan Farrow with a smile.

Ronan Farrow said no more and said goodbye and left here.

"Save this person's contact information." Matthew stood up and was about to leave, saying to Brown Williams. "Tell Amanda and Helen Herman and ask them to check Ronan Farrow for more details."

Brown Williams put away the business card and replied, "Yes, I'll contact them now."

Just two days later, Helen Hermann and Amanda sent a detailed information about Ronan Farrow, which was indeed an extraordinary young man.

Matthew was careful with Ronan Farrow, but some things were not right at the moment, and he also had Stephen Somos and the sequel to "Special Forces".

Helen Hermann had the first sequel negotiation with Paramount Pictures and Hasbro. In addition to the pay, the most important content was to offer a condition on behalf of Matthew: if he continues to star in the sequel, he must maintain the stability of the main creative team of the crew, and Stephen Somos is the most suitable director candidate.

This condition undoubtedly sent a signal to Paramount Pictures and Hasbro, and Matthew and Stephen Somos advanced and retreated together.

Paramount Pictures and Hasbro either left Stephen Somos, or replaced both the leading actor and director.

In addition, he specifically asked someone to inquire about Jon Zhu. This new director has no qualifications to get a shot except for the Woody Allen Video Awards.

Since there is a relatively safe director, why should he take the risk of working with such a newcomer?

Faced with the conditions proposed by Matthew, Paramount Pictures and Hasbro did not respond yet, and told Helen Herman that he would consider it before making a decision.
