Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters find a suitable marriage
"In a short period of time, there will be no more front-line projects using Will Smith."
In the office of the Angel Brokerage Company, Helen Herman slowly sipped the coffee and said to Matthew opposite him, "Are you satisfied now?"
Matthew picked up the teacup and took a sip, "What do you mean I'm satisfied now?"
Helen Hermann revealed without hesitation, "You have never forgotten the Will Smith attack on you, right?"
Matthew just drank tea, neither admitting nor denying it.
"It is not difficult to draw a conclusion based on this to analyze what you have done." Helen Hermann is different from others after all. As a friend, agent and partner, she thinks she is the person who knows Matthew the best in the world. "Some things that others have never cared about or care about, but you actually do it intentionally, and it is Will Smith."
Matthew put down his teacup and said, "I never said or implied that Warner Bros. and DC Comics had Will Smith starring Hal Jordan."
Helen Hermann didn't answer this at all and asked on his own, "Matthew, how do you judge that "Green Lantern" may fail?"
Matthew was silent for a moment, and then he said, "I have read Charles Rowan's script and plan." He knew that it was unconvincing to rely on these alone, so he simply asked, "Helen, haven't you noticed it?"
Helen Hermann looked at him, "What did you find?"
"Because of the great success of Marvel superhero movies, especially Iron Man, Warner Bros. and DC Comics want to catch up too much," Matthew said slowly. "Warner Bros. and DC Comics are so anxious that their mentality is a bit unbalanced. I have received some information from Charles Rowan. As early as the script creation stage, as long as anyone with the power to reach out, they all reached out."
He spread his hands, "numerous cases in the past tell us that a film project has too many dominant voices and basically fails."
Helen Hermann nodded slightly, "It makes sense."
These were not enough to convince her, but she did not ask any further. She could see that Matthew had a unique judgment in this regard, but never explained it directly.
Everyone has secrets, even their best friends won't say that. Matthew has it, and she has it.
If you continue to ask questions, it may lead to some bad consequences. If the relationship between the two is hurt, it will be really stupid.
She took the initiative to change the topic, "Why don't you remind Warner Bros?"
Matthew said lightly, "Warner Brothers was suddenly overtaken by an old friend who had been suppressed for many years, and was still far behind. Their anxious mentality can be imagined." He sighed, "Do you think Warner Brothers and the management of DC Comics can listen to the advice of an outsider in that situation? If I speak randomly, it may affect the originally harmonious cooperative relationship between the two parties."
Hearing these words, Helen Hermann nodded slowly, "Your choice is very correct." She suddenly said, "You are good at everything, but you are too revenge."
"I can ignore some things and choose to ignore them, but I can't pretend to be invisible." Matthew never denies the fact that he is holding a grudge. "The person who stood up was Jada Smith, but Will Smith wouldn't know? If they succeed, what would happen?"
Helen Herman reminded, “Don’t let hatred overwhelm your rationality.”
Matthew pointed to his forehead, "I have always been very sober. If I am not sober, how could I endure it for so many years?"
After all, this is a society ruled by law. Those people can't attack him. He immediately jumped out and killed them all.
Similar revenge is undoubtedly controlled within the scope of the law.
Otherwise, it is not revenge, but self-destruction.
Helen Herman nodded, "If Will Smith doesn't have enough luck, it will be difficult for him to climb to the front line."
Matthew smiled, "That part between me and him is over."
The premise of this is of course Will Smith stops doing things against him.
Even if Matthew fails, he has never done anything, but if the competition becomes a shameful method, he will not be polite to not only want roles or projects, but also to make him even more unlucky.
What should I choose between bullying others and being bullied?
You can't come over and step on your face. Not only do you not hide, but you also take the initiative to put your face on your face?
Matthew would rather be a bad person than be a saint.
The two talked about the Justice League universe adjusted by Warner Bros. and DC Comics again, and had a deep feeling about the anxious and anxious mentality of Warner Bros. and DC Comics management.
Matthew rejected the character Superman. In view of years of close cooperation, he proposed to Warner Bros. the Justice League universe to steady progress. However, except for the DC Comics using the new universe to unify the Justice League worldview and replacing Green Lantern with Cylinder, it is really hard to say how much the other two companies can hear.
Warner Bros. is a huge film company after all, and some decisions are difficult to turn around.
"Since Warner Bros. and DC Comics management are unbalanced, there may be problems later, so we will not mix up the Justice League matters." Helen Hermann asked after saying this, "Is your science fiction project that grows potatoes on Mars ready to start?"
Matthew nodded, "It's best to start preparing this year." He rubbed his forehead. "A science fiction film on Mars requires a production budget of hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm still waiting for part of the money for "Twilight"."
Helen Hermann had obviously noticed the project and asked, "Is there a suitable director?"
"No?" Matthew and Helen Hermann worked together for many years. How could he not understand the meaning behind this? He asked, "Do you have the right person to recommend?"
Helen Hermann was not polite and said directly, "What do you think of Ridley Scott?"
"Uh..." Matthew asked a little surprised, "Will Ridley lack a project?"
Although Ridley Scott is not among the top directors in Hollywood, he is firmly ranked among the top directors. Directors of this level have always only projects to look for him. How could he have no movies to shoot?
"Ridley's situation is not very good recently." Helen Hermann said briefly, "His two recent films, "Boss of Lies" and "Robin Hood", have all failed commercially, especially the production cost of "Robin Hood", which is only exchanged for a $100 million North American box office, which directly led to the breakdown of Ridley's years of cooperation with Universal Pictures."
She sighed lightly, "Ridley was a little depressed by being abandoned by Universal Pictures. Recently, he has been looking for a suitable project to prove himself again. Twentieth Century Fox wanted him to go back and remake the "Alien" series, but Ridley didn't want to use the sequel to prove that he was not old."
Matthew didn't speak, but instead thought silently. Ridley Scott messed up two films in a row, which seemed to be on a downward verge. Will he mess up the third one again?
This is really hard to say.
If this was another director, he would refuse, but Ridley Scott had helped him a long time ago.
Although the first role he played was Passerby A, who didn't even have a name in "The Soul-Edit Girl", the one who really made him enter the actor industry was "Gladiator" directed by Ridley Scott.
It was Ridley Scott who promoted him to play the role of the Barbarian Leader, and later gave him a supporting role in "Black Hawk Down" with a very outstanding character. When he competed for the role of Will Turner in "Pirates of the Caribbean", he highly recommended to producer Jerry Brookheimer.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ridley Scott was a nobleman who could emerge from an ordinary actor in his early days.
At least, Ridley Scott helped him.
"This is an alien science fiction project with a bit of traditional hard science fiction." Helen Hermann not only out of selfishness, but really measured it. "Matthew, you know Ridley, this is the type of subject matter he is best at."
Matthew slowly turned the teacup in his hand, thought for a while before saying, "This is it, Helen. I'm going to go to the other side of the Pacific to premiere. When I come back, you find some time to ask Ridley out. We old friends gather together and talk about this project. How about it?"
"Yes." Helen Hermann knew Ridley Scott, "I guess Ridley would also like to reunite with his old friends."
She glanced at Matthew, and had a few complicated eyes. If you want to say that Matthew is a bastard, you really can't find a few people in Hollywood who are thick-faced and dark-hearted than him. But when it comes to treating friends or helping him, he is also impeccable.
This guy fully interprets the two sides of human beings.
Matthew stood up and prepared to say goodbye, and went back to pack his luggage to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, but Helen Hermann called him.
"There is one thing that I have thought about for a long time and I think it's necessary for you to pay attention." Helen Herman said very seriously. "In the matter of Harvey Weinstein, we are almost at the closing stage. Maybe next year, or the year after tomorrow, we will give him a fatal blow."
Matthew looked at Helen Hermann, not knowing what she was going to say.
Helen Hermann's tone was still stable, "You are too chaotic in the relationship between men and women. Even if you are in love, you may have trouble at that time. I suggest you find a suitable person to marry before launching a fatal blow."
Matthew immediately understood what Helen Herman meant, "There is a stable family, and even if someone attacks me, it will not have much impact, right?"
Helen Herman nodded, "It's almost the same. This is good for you."
Matthew thought for a while before saying, "I will think about it. It's still early, so don't worry."
