There are countless derailed and derailed people in Hollywood every day, like how many first-line stars have not stolen, broke up and divorced? But what these people have done is far from the spread of the shocking scandal between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
At one time, Matthew thought it was the sensational effect of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, plus another big star, Jennifer Aniston. Looking back on the gossip news of the year, it is not easy to see the background.
Judging from his current thinking mode and his understanding of Hollywood marketing, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston will definitely make "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" roaring. Burned up.
Matthew saved others by himself. Thinking of this, he felt that this was a textbook-like movie promotion and marketing.
His energy then returned to the script itself, and began to read it a second time. Since he had read it once, Matthew mainly focused on the main plot this time.
After reading it for the second time, he has a more specific concept of the script. This is a typical Hollywood commercial entertainment script. It can be said that it is the same as most Hollywood commercial scripts. The framework of the story is very thin, light plot but heavy The entertainment effect, focusing on explosive points and light logic, is like a palace propped up by the tip of a needle. For example, a husband and wife have lived together for two years, but they have not found each other's true occupations. This alone is difficult to convince people.
However, when Matthew saw the description of the interview at the beginning again, combined with some memories, he felt that there was another angle to study the script.
Although the two protagonists love each other and get married, they do not fully understand and trust each other, which may not be uncommon.
In this world, everyone hides their own little secrets and carefully protects their own space, just like the two people in the film each have a secret arsenal, until one day, an accidental event made this disguise Begin to peel off, facing each other's new image, both sides will be uncomfortable, so friction is inevitable, quarrels and contradictions will follow - war will break out.
Afterwards, the hero and heroine smashed the house like other family couples, but they used guns.
Although he has never experienced marriage, Matthew has watched the marriages of many celebrity couples in Hollywood in recent years. They are so similar to the hero and heroine described in the script. When love came to his head, he chose marriage, but he didn't know each other at all. , there are many secrets hidden in the depths of both sides.
When these secrets are revealed,
Those star couples will use a different situation, just like the hero and heroine in the script.
Matthew closed the script and placed it on Helen Herman's desk. Helen Herman glanced at him and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"Standard Hollywood commercial entertainment script." Matthew was sure of that.
"Very accurate evaluation." Helen Herman made a rare joke, and then added, "This kind of script is the highest insurance factor."
Of course Matthew understood this, nodded lightly, and didn't say much.
Helen Herman returned to his usual serious and responsible attitude and said, "I had a detailed talk with screenwriter Simon Kinberg to get a general understanding of the production style and philosophy of this project. The concept of his script originally came from a Hong Kong film. , borrowing a lot of sleek, dynamic and romantic elements from Hong Kong shootout action films, and the film should roughly combine action, thrill, romance and humor."
Listening to Helen Herman's words, Matthew tried hard to recall his impressions about the film. At the beginning, because of the relationship between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the memory of this film was relatively deep.
After some recollection, he found that the style of the film was indeed, as Helen Herman put it, a combination of action, thrill, romance and humor.
"That's the general situation right now."
Speaking of which, Helen Herman seemed to think of one more thing, and changed his mind, saying, "The overall situation of this project is relatively reliable. In addition to us, some people have also received news, and Brad Pitt's agent has also asked Akiva Goldsman said Brad Pitt was very interested in the project."
Matthew scratched his head a little, "Brad Pitt, I feel a lot of pressure."
Helen Herman obviously didn't see it that way, "Your popularity is not as good as Brad Pitt, but you also have an advantage. In the past three years, you...well, the three films you starred in have all sold well at the box office. You have a very high return on investment ratio, and you are positioned as an action star, and you have also proven yourself in action movies. Also, your salary is much lower than Brad Pitt, but in the category of action movie lovers , Brad Pitt's appeal is not necessarily higher than yours."

bsp; Matthew understands what Helen Herman means. If it is purely about celebrity status, acting skills and popularity, he is obviously far from Brad Pitt, but the film market is not divided like this. His advantage is that he fits this project. A very high action type, Brad Pitt has basically never acted in a pure action movie in the past, and the only "Troy" he starred in has not yet been released.
Helen-Hellman seemed to guess what Matthew was thinking, saying, "Troy comes out in May, and if it's going to be as big as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, as Warner Bros. We're going to have real trouble."
"What if it doesn't meet expectations?" Matthew asked.
"Brad Pitt won't have any advantage in front of you." Helen Herman said with certainty, "even at a disadvantage."
She reminded Matthew, "Only in terms of the box office investment income ratio of the movies he has acted in the past three years, Brad Pitt is far inferior to you, don't forget, compared to the coffee position, the production company is more concerned about this aspect when selecting actors for commercial films. To value."
"I just feel a little pressure." Matthew shrugged, "I'm not trying to back down."
As he climbs up step by step, when he competes for roles, the chance of encountering former first-line stars and superstars will definitely increase. If he encounters a former famous person, he will take the initiative to withdraw, and he does not need to be in Hollywood. If you mess up, just stick to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and wait until you die.
Helen Herman added, "Brad Pitt is just one of the competitors, the audition is in late May, and I'm not sure how many people Akiva Goldsman and Doug Liman will send to audition. ."
Matthew nodded and stood up with the script, "If there is nothing else, I'll go first."
Helen Herman was not polite to him either, and waved his hand directly.
Matthew turned around and was about to go out when he turned around and asked, "The property that was borrowed for filming by the "National Treasure" crew today seems to be being sold by a real estate brokerage company. Please help me ask."
Helen Herman nodded slightly, "I see."
Then, Matthew took the script and left the Angel Agency directly. In the next few days, he basically studied the script and the characters. From the analysis of the script and the movies he had seen, the importance of the two protagonists of this film, It completely overwhelmed the storyline, and it can even be said that this is a commercial film driven by the charm of stars and characters.
It's no wonder that Akiva Goldsman and Doug Liman only use famous stars and don't consider newcomers at all. Newcomers don't say anything else, and their appeal alone is insufficient.
In addition to studying the script and figuring out the role, Matthew deliberately found a firearms club where he usually practiced, hired a more professional firearms coach with a high salary, and appropriately increased the frequency and time of his gun practice, especially the training of mobile shooting. Project, since he is determined to compete for this male lead, no matter whether it is successful or not, he will be 200% ready.
In addition, Matthew also went to video tape rental stores to find a large number of killer-related movies to watch, especially those with Hong Kong-style wastefulness, such as "Face Change", and some Hong Kong movies also entered his viewing. In the schedule, for example, Brother Ma plays the killer's "Blood" and so on.
This killer male lead is a little different from the action characters he has played in the past, less realistic and more romantic and comedic.
To a certain extent, this is also a challenge for him.
Matthew is not afraid of challenges. Action films are a super category in Hollywood, and they are also mainstream commercial films. It is impossible for him to limit himself to a small scope in a large category.
During the period before the start of the summer season, Matthew was almost in retreat to prepare for the audition, but he received a call from Orlando Bloom in the middle, and Orlando Bloom reminded him not to forget to participate in "Van Helsing" in early May. 's premiere.
Next, Matthew received an official invitation from Universal Pictures and Stephen Sommers. He has just worked with Universal Pictures on "Dawn of the Living Dead" and has an old relationship with Stephen Sommers, even if Orlando Bloom If you don't make a phone call, you will definitely be attending the North American premiere of "Van Helsing".
Two full years have passed since the initial project was established. Although Hollywood has continued to see big investment and big productions, the huge production cost of "Van Helsing" announced to the public is still the top production in Hollywood today.
Universal also seemed confident in the film, investing heavily in a massive premiere that invited a lot of A-list stars to participate.
In the list exposed by the media, the fame and coffee status like Matthew can only be regarded as medium.
On the day of the premiere of "Van Helsing", the attention of the entertainment media in the United States turned to the Hollywood Chinese Theater on the Walk of Fame. The first film to be released every summer is also highly anticipated by fans.
