"Clint." Matthew sat in a chair and asked directly, "How much budget do you think you need for this video?"

As an old director, Clint Eastwood has a lot of experience and has already made plans and estimates, saying, "It will cost about $80 million to calculate your and my pay."

This number was far lower than Matthew's psychological expectations, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is it enough?"

"Enough." Clint Eastwood was never a director who spent a lot of money. "The main plot of the film is sniping, and there will be no big war scenes."

He thought about it and said, "The preparation time may take longer, and the shooting will not start until the second half of the year at the earliest."

Matthew nodded slightly, "No problem."

If the filming starts in the second half of the year, it is probably still possible to catch up with next year's schedule. Next, Bella Anderson will contact the publisher. With his fame and appeal, finding a publisher is a very simple thing, it depends on who has the most favorable conditions.

Clint Eastwood reminded again, "Matthew, I know you have played many military roles, but the sniper itself is a special military service. I hope you will take time to conduct professional training from now on."

"I will." Matthew responded, "My bodyguard, Brown Williams, is a former member of the Delta Force, and I will also go there often to Chris Kyle."

In fact, since he acquired a stake in Chris Kyle's military contracting company, he would play with sniper rifles when he had time, and was also preparing for this video and this character.

"By the way, Matthew." Clint Eastwood didn't plan to be polite to Matthew, "Can you give Scott a role?"

Matthew knew Clint Eastwood's family a little and asked, "Scott Eastwood?" Seeing Clint Eastwood nodding, he smiled and said, "Which role is suitable, Ryan Job or Weston? You are the director, and the audition is up to you."

Clint Eastwood nodded and said, "Thank you."

"You're so polite." Matthew didn't take it to heart.

To be honest, Clint Eastwood's director's pay is not high, and the director's pay of $6 million is definitely a friendly price.

As for Scott Eastwood, Matthew had some impression of him, a very strong and strong young man.

From this point of view, the basic conditions of being a soldier actor are very good.

In this film, in addition to him as the male lead and the heroine must be determined later, Matthew gave the choice of other characters completely to Clint Eastwood.

After discussing some details, Clint Eastwood quickly said goodbye and left.

Looking at Clint Eastwood's old but still upright figure, Matthew was a little moved.

There is a common saying in North America now. Many people hope to be like Matthew Horner when they are 20 to 40, and George Clooney when they are 40 to 60. And when they are 60 years old, they are like Clint Eastwood.

The old cowboy is definitely the coolest and coolest among Hollywood practitioners over the age of sixty.

"American Sniper" will be released until next year as soon as possible, but next is May, and the 2011 summer war is about to begin.

"Fast and Furious 5" starring Matthew will be released this summer. Since almost every Independence Day schedule has been released in almost every Independence Day schedule, and all the films were sold at the box office. When the summer schedule was occupied by Warner Bros.'s "Green Lantern", the publisher Disney Pictures selected the North American painting date of "Fast and Furious 5" in late June before the Independence Day schedule.

Overseas, many markets will be released in the morning one week, especially across the Pacific.

The world premiere of "Fast and Furious 5" is still on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, but the premiere is held at Magic City.

In doing so, Matthew wants to continue to expand the influence of the series; secondly, he has received a strong invitation from the City of Magic Film Festival, and "Fast and Furious 5" will premiere with the Film Festival; the City of Magic Film Festival is a film festival with a strong commercial atmosphere. Since "Fast and Furious 5" has been premiered worldwide on the other side of the Pacific this time period, it is undoubtedly a very good choice to be placed in the largest city on the side of the City of Magic.

Finally, it is also possible that "Fast and Furious 5" can be released in North America one week ahead of schedule on the other side of the Pacific to avoid the real issue of schedule protection without any provisions.

The traditional North American summer season, strictly counts from early May to end at the end of July, and only in the past two years have someone calculated August.

However, the summer season on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is very different from the time period in North America. At the end of June and early July every year, the large number of students, who are the main force in film consumption, have started the summer season one after another, and the summer season begins.

Starting from the end of June, Hollywood commercial split films will be restricted from being released in theaters in the opposite Pacific. Those that have been released can continue to be screened and can also enjoy the bonus of the schedule effect of the July summer schedule.

Therefore, after discussing with Disney, Matthew chose this time period to go to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

As a result, more than half of the thirty-day screening time of "Fast and Furious 5" will be held in July when students are on vacation.

It is not easy to win such a schedule. Matthew placed the premiere across the Pacific just to express his attention and sincerity. Walt Disney also played an important role. Without Bowei International as the publisher, "Fast and Furious 5" would be difficult to win the release of this period. Maybe it would be pushed to September.

By then, the largest audience group of the film has already started. I am afraid that the Internet will have pirated copies, so it is hard to say how much you can get.

This is definitely not what Matthew wants to see.

The other side of the Pacific is a huge market, but its limits and account share ratio issues have lowered its status, resulting in Hollywood not paying much attention to it in the past.

This situation improved two months ago. The bigwigs of China and the United States signed a historic film import agreement in February, covering the number of Hollywood movies imported from the other side of the Pacific each year, the release schedule and method of imported movies, and the final share ratio that Hollywood film companies can get at the box office across the Pacific.

In terms of quantity, the official account-sharing films rose to thirty-four movies, and the box office share increased to 25%.

"Fast and Furious 5" was introduced as a share film, which means that if you can get a box office of 1 billion rmb across the Pacific, you can share 250 million.

Judging from the response of "Fast and Furious 4", at least 100 million rmb can be taken away.

Although 25% of the box office share of imported films is much lower than the 40% internationally accepted, many Hollywood companies are also dissatisfied with this, and even executives of six major companies said that "there is no legitimate reason not to keep up with international standards." But Matthew is already very content.

This is much better than not playing with you after one beat or two.

What bicycle do you want?

Hollywood does not know enough about it. For example, the six major companies have been urging the Washington authorities to make demands that the scissors on the other side of the Pacific promise not to use "schedule" means to limit the release of Hollywood big-made movies during the period when the demand for movies is strong there.

They also hope to know in advance, and even directly control the release schedule of imported movies in the Pacific, so as not to get used to the habit of scheduling Hollywood blockbusters on weekdays with fewer viewers, or suddenly multiple Hollywood blockbusters are released at the same time, allowing them to compete for box office.

Matthew can only say that he was thinking too much.

In a short period of time, it is estimated that the other side of the Pacific will no longer make too many concessions to Hollywood big productions.

The current agreement is enough to open a golden age for Hollywood movies in China.

The agreement not only brought about an increase in Hollywood movie revenue, but also a large amount of funds from China poured into Hollywood, hoping to get a share of Hollywood.

Matthew also has two companies from across the Pacific that want to invest in the "Fast and Furious" series, and even want to acquire shares in Studio 13.

Now the only real shareholders of Studio Thirteen are him and David Ellison, and Matthew will not add the third major shareholder.

As for film investment from across the Pacific, he welcomed it with both hands.

As long as they are willing to simply share the box office profit share of the film with investment proportions, joining the ranks of "Fast and Furious" investors is not a problem at all.

Many Hollywood blockbusters are also adding elements there accordingly to share the huge market of 1.3 billion people.

But few people know better than Matthew that the elements there can be added to please the audience, and many of them will also have counterproductive effects. For example, he uses Daniel Wu and Nini as the main actors of the group instead of making soy sauce, which is not something other Hollywood big productions dare to do.

Most of them are looking for Chinese or actors from the other side of the Pacific to make a fuss, but they don’t know that this is very likely to make the audience there disgusted.

Special supplies and special versions made by non-large scissors will not please the audience there.

Looking at Hollywood, Matthew is one of the clearest people in the market across the Pacific. The elements added casually in Hollywood films become the highlights of the film, and most of them will become the "complaints" that netizens complain about when they are complaining.

Many forced "Chinese elements" are often "Chinese elements" that Hollywood thinks. In the viewers across the Pacific, they often seem unearthable. The mild ones become the point of the film, and the severe ones become the fatal injury of the film, affecting the quality of the film.

Objectively speaking, the audience on the other side of the Pacific in this era may be the best movie audience in the world. Don’t treat it differently or stimulate those sensitive points. As long as the plot can achieve the most basic response, the scene is big enough, and there are enough action scenes, the box office will not be a problem.

There is no difference between Matthew's version of "Fast and Furious 5" released in China and the United States, and the scenes are even more in Brazil, not to mention action scenes and big scenes.

He is confident that he will continue to win the likes of the audience over there.
