Chapter 315 The Idea Is Too Dangerous

Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!

The crew's positioning for "Mrs. Smith" is naturally pg-13, but the scale of many scenes during filming is much larger than the theater version, because for filmmakers, the income is not only the theater box office, although the theater box office It's the standard Hollywood studios measure their stars by, but their revenue from outside theaters, especially DVD sales and rentals, is absolutely insane these days.

What Matthew does know is that last year's Pixar production of "Finding Nemo," the film that once translated into "Finding Nemo," has sold 18.5 million DVDs so far, with sales approaching $300 million.

He co-starred in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" DVD has now sold 13.3 million copies, sales of more than 200 million US dollars.

Compared with the high-cost theatrical release of publicity and distribution, the cost of DVD is much lower in terms of suppression and distribution channels. Even Helen Herman told him that a group with a mature industry chain like the six major Hollywood companies Company, the cost of DVD is more than 5% of the selling price.

In this age of staggering DVD sales and rental figures, nearly every studio and distribution label is fighting for DVD sales.

However, looking back every year, movies with amazing DVD sales have some common characteristics. For example, the movies that occupy the top of the sales list are all box-office hits, and the outstanding box office performance is the decisive factor for the success of DVD.

Another point is that the dvd version has more fresh content than the release version.

In this regard, "The Scorpion King" starred by Matthew is typical. The theatrical version of the film is a standard pg-13 level, and the DVDs released later have added a lot of large-scale content, such as Matthew and Kelly- Hu's role, which can effectively attract consumers to buy.

Compared with the more stringent paa cinema classification, the DVD market is more relaxed, and the DVD version of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is naturally larger in scale.

The onlookers on the set were quickly invited out of the studio. Except for the director and a small number of filming personnel, only Matthew and Charlize Theron were left on the set.

Neither of them is a rookie. This kind of scene has been filmed several times by Matthew, and Charlize Theron is even more familiar with it. Moreover, this scene seems intense, but the scale is actually not comparable to her and Christina in "The Devil" - That scene with Richie.

After director Doug Roman called the start, Matthew took the initiative to start, and Charlize Theron also tried his best to fight back according to the setting of the script. The two were entangled again like the previous fight.

But the filming soon stopped.

Director Doug Roman thought neither was interested enough.

"What you need is a crazy, desperate..." director Doug Roman exclaimed, "to completely break the previous gap and return to the state of love."

He looked at Matthew and Charlize Theron and said, "You're all too restrained! There's no crazy energy after the feeling of men and women coming!"

Matthew and Charlize Theron exchanged a few words in a low voice. It is not easy to get excited immediately when shooting such a scene. Besides, Charlize Theron was still in the middle of the film to avoid some embarrassment. a pillow.

Before shooting again, he went to the side and did a few push-ups to get his muscles puffed up and give the illusion of excitement on camera. Action scenes in this area are often improvised and can be easy to do if you over-rehearse or think too much. It looks like some kind of botched film in the movie business.

This kind of play, if both men and women are not excited, can not be convincing, so both parties must have a sense of excitement.

Charlize Theron was not idle either. She drank a glass of champagne first, and then a glass of tequila, gradually arousing her emotions.

The second shot went well, and a long shot of nearly two minutes passed quickly.

After the filming, Matthew released Charlize Theron, who he had pressed hard on a table, and reached out to pull her up. Charlize Theron stood up and put on the sling that Matthew had pulled aside.

Both of them were breathing heavily and rapidly, their eyes collided inadvertently, and Charlize Theron immediately turned to look elsewhere, seemingly embarrassed.

Matthew was very calm, and asked softly, "I didn't hurt you."

Charlize Theron pulled out the soft pillow hidden under his clothes, threw it aside, smiled, and said, "It's okay."

Matthew still wanted to speak, but Charlize Theron said first, "I'm going to remove my makeup."

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the studio without waiting for Matthew to respond.

Leaving the studio and coming to the dressing room, she sent the makeup artist away, leaned against the door of the dressing room, her breathing became short again, and she couldn't help reaching out and patted her chest lightly.

After just two minutes, Charlize Theron returned to her cold face again. There was the sound of opening and closing the door of the dressing room. It should be Matthew's return. She quickly removed her makeup and changed her clothes, and left in a hurry. Warner Studios.

Back then, she and Stuart Townsend were in love with each other because of the drama...

Sitting in the car equipped by the crew, thinking of Stuart Townsend, Charlize Theron had a headache, and then he was confused, and some did not know where the relationship between the two should go.

She knows that many things cannot be compared, otherwise there will be a huge psychological gap, such as Stewart Townsend and Matthew Horner.

Matthew Horner shines like a morning star, Stuart Townsend...

Charlize Theron quickly shook his head. This kind of thinking is too dangerous. Besides, Stuart Townsend's advantages are also obvious. Although his temperament has been much worse in recent years, he is still a playboy compared to Matthew Horner. But too much love.

It's Stewart Townsend's psychology... Tolerance is indeed not connivance, but she can endure it, and when she has time after the filming, she can persuade Townsend to see a psychiatrist.

Matthew finished removing his makeup, left the dressing room, and before he left the studio, he met producer Akiva Goldsman, who took the initiative to stop him.

"You are a very good actor." Akiva Goldsman didn't seem to be improvising, "The shooting of this film has left a very deep impression on me, you are naturally suitable for such an independent and strong male role. ."

"It's too prestigious." Matthew said modestly in a timely manner, "It's the role setting."

Akiva Goldsman waved his hand, "You don't have to be humble, everyone on the set can see that you are a good actor."

Matthew smiled and didn't answer.

Akiva Goldsman said directly, "Matthew, there are very few young and box-office actors like you." And he can see from the set shooting that Matthew is not the kind of troublemaker. The actor did not bring any trouble to the filming crew, so he said solemnly, "I look forward to working with you again."

Matthew couldn't understand the meaning behind Akiva Goldsman's words, but promptly answered, "Me too."

Akiva Goldsman then changed the subject and brought up some of the shooting of Mr & Mrs Smith.

Compared with Doug Roman, who is devoted to his career as a director, and Akiva Goldsman, who is also a producer and a screenwriter, he can see the value of young actors like Matthew. Thinking that failure is unlikely, Matthew will have more appeal when the film is released, and he has a sequel to the less risky "Pirates of the Caribbean" series...

Without much analysis, he could see that Ma Xiu was on the road to becoming a superstar.

The project he is planning just needs superstars who can resist the box office and are suitable for strong roles. However, at present, he has to take into account the production of "Mrs. and Mrs. Smith", and he has to write the adaptation of "The Da Vinci Code". The next project will definitely take a few years. After that, Matthew Horner was probably on the front line by then, and it was not easy to get him to accept the audition invitation.

Actors need the right projects, and producers and directors alike need charismatic star actors.

Akiva Goldsman has his sights set on his next big project.

Matthew chatted with Akiva Goldsman for a while. Because he had an appointment at night, he took the initiative to leave the studio, walked to the gate of Warner Studios, and drove his BMW to a high-end hotel in North Hollywood. In the restaurant, Irina Boyar made an appointment with him a few days ago and wants to treat him to a big dinner tonight.

"Finally, I don't have to eat cumbersome French food." Matthew ordered a few familiar Chinese dishes at random, handed the recipe back to the waiter, and said to Irina Boyar, "It's still better for Chinese food."

Elena Boyar shook her head, "I don't think it's any good."

Matthew raised his finger and shook it, "That's because your taste buds have a problem. If you eat Chinese food for a week, you will feel that other dishes are too ordinary."

Although it is an improved Westernized Chinese food, it also suits his taste better than French food.

"A week in a row?"

Everyone has their own taste, and the food in other people's mouths may be poison in exchange. Elena Boyar said directly, "I don't want to go on a diet and lose weight."

Matthew glanced at her, "Well, you don't need to lose weight."

Irina Boyar changed the subject at this time and asked, "Is there any exciting news recently?"

"I said why are you entertaining." Matthew reached out and nodded at her, "It turns out that there is no purpose."

He shook his head and said, "No. I've been so busy on Mr & Mrs Smith lately that I don't have time for anything else."

"You're always disappointing." Irina Boyar took a sip of the water glass, and suddenly asked, "What about you and Charlize Theron?"

"She and I are ordinary friends." Matthew said lightly, "Nothing else."

"Ordinary friend? It's okay for you to lie to others, don't lie to me!" Elena Boyar's eyes widened, "I don't know you yet?"

She snorted and added, "My paparazzi have taken many pictures of you guys going in and out of Warners Studios together."
