Chapter 253 is full of pits

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

"Bob, this is Matthew."

In the banquet hall of the Burbank Armanora Hotel, Helen Herman introduced Matthew and a middle-aged man, "Matthew, this is Robert Eiger, the co-chair of Disney Pictures."

Matthew quickly stretched out his right hand, "Hello, Mr. Eiger."

Robert Eiger was completely different from his immediate boss Michael Eisner's arrogant behavior and looked very friendly. He reached out and shook Matthew's hand, and said with a smile, "Matthew, I'm envious of your good figure!"

In just one short sentence, the distance between the two was instantly narrowed.

"It's a bit painful to practice." Matthew is also a very talented person.

Before coming here, Helen Hermann simply said for him that Robert Eiger was a person who climbed up from the bottom. He did not have the arrogance and domineeringness of Michael Eisner. He had been working on ABC TV station before. It was not until Walt Disney acquired ABC that he transferred to Disney as Michael Eisner's assistant. In the past two years, he gradually showed his ability and was promoted by Michael Eisner to the position of head of Disney Pictures.

The two of them exchanged some casual greetings. Robert Eiger looked gentle and elegant, and smiled as if he was a cute smile like Mickey Mouse.

Matthew has also been trained in the past two years, and it is no problem to deal with this level of social interaction.

Robert Iger suddenly sighed and said, "Matthew, Disney Pictures will launch two major projects next year in live-action movies, but you rejected one, I feel sorry."

Although he is the person in charge of Disney Pictures, he is very calm and low-key. "Is it that Disney Pictures has not done a good job?"

"Of course not." Matthew was very energetic. Years of experience in working hard at the bottom told him that such people are often truly powerful people. He smiled and said, "I was supported by Sean Daniel. I have rejected him once before."

His words were sincere and seemed to attach great importance to friendship. "Shawn Daniel came to me with the project "Dawn of the Living Dead" in March. I can't refuse him again. The film started filming at the end of the month and happened to be in conflict with "King Arthur". I can only turn it off."

"It should be." Robert Eiger nodded slightly, "If it were me, I would have made the same choice as you."

His eyes turned over Matthew's face and felt that the other party was not lying. After all, a lot of news about the project "Dawn of the Living Dead" was made public. The reason why he stood here and said so much was because this person was very valuable to the Disney Pictures he was in charge, especially the live-action film project.

It is not an exaggeration to say that "Pirates of the Caribbean" is the signature of Disney Pictures' live-action movies today.

Robert Eiger's seemingly kind and peaceful background was full of thoughts. He still showed a cute smile like Mickey Mouse and said, "Matthew, Disney Pictures has helped you a lot."

Helen Hermann frowned slightly. What does this mean? Then she reacted. The negotiations between Disney Pictures and her sequel were very unsuccessful. Are you planning to deal with Matthew first?

If it were something else, she might be worried, but it involves money...

Matthew also turned his head very quickly, and he also thought of the negotiations between Helen Hermann and Disney Pictures.

"Yes, Disney Pictures has helped me a lot!" Matthew looked very grateful. After this short time, he had already thought about dealing with it. "Don't Disney Pictures have two big projects live-action movies next year? I feel very guilty about turning down "King Arthur". If another project needs me, I will be on call!"

Robert Iger glanced at Matthew, "I think Jerry must be happy to hear this."

He quietly pushed Jerry Brookheimer to the side.

As the head of Disney Pictures, Robert Eiger could not have talked to someone for a long time. He said a few words to Matthew, saw Johnny Depp, and said, "Depp is here, I'll talk to him."

Seeing Robert Iger leave, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief. Those who could climb to such a high position were all old foxes.

"He actually admires you very much." Helen Hermann suddenly spoke next to him.

Matthew shrugged, "I didn't see it at all." He shook his head slightly, "There are all pitfalls in his words."

Helen Hermann said calmly without answering his words, "I heard from Disney Pictures people that Robert Iger thinks your potential is more than that."

"Then dig a hole for me," Matthew said dissatisfiedly, "wait for me to jump inside."

Helen Herman asked back, "Do you think someone who climbs from the grassroots level to the position of Disney Pictures co-chairman will bring his appreciation for a Hollywood star to his work?"

Matthew knew it, "I understand." He continued, "just as if you obviously admire me, but never show it."

Helen Hermann glanced at him and said nothing, and took Matthew to continue to meet some senior Walt Disney characters.

She is indeed very connected, and she can talk to most senior Disney executives, and even talk about each other’s hobbies.

Of course, some people came to meet Matthew. Since Kayla Knightley went to the UK to shoot "King Arthur" and Jeffrey Rush was not present, the main actors of the film came Matthew and Johnny Depp.

Among those who came here, Helen Hermann also knew most of them. Standing behind Matthew, he kept making various reminders. With her help, Matthew's social engagement tonight was both decent and relaxed.

While there was no one around, Matthew sighed, "Helen, I didn't expect you to know so many people."

"This is the basic course for the agent." Helen Hermann was still very dull. "Do you think I, the agent, will be idle when you are working hard?"

Matthew suddenly saw a familiar figure and said, "Why is he here?"

Helen Hermann followed his gaze and said, "Nicolas Cage, I remember it was Jerry Brookheimer who invited him."

"He was invited by Jerry Brookheimer?" Matthew thought of "National Treasure".

Although Jerry Brookheimer took the crew of "King Arthur" to the UK to film and could not attend the cocktail party, what does it mean to invite Nicholas Cage?

Do you want him to continue to be the leading actor in "National Treasure"?

However, according to the accurate information obtained by Helen Hermann, the action film that Jerry Brookheimer is preparing to create is aimed at teenage audiences. It is said that the settings of the male and female protagonists will be younger to better suit the tastes of teenagers.

Of course, these are not accurate. This project is not enough to describe it as twists and turns. The script has been written for more than half a year, and it has been revised several times and has been constantly changing. So far, let alone completing the script, there is not even the first draft. If this continues, filming may not be possible at the beginning of next year.

Although Matthew and Helen Hermann did not give up, they would not hang themselves on this tree, and they are also selecting other suitable projects and roles based on schedule.

The project "National Treasure" has been delayed for too long. In addition, after writing the script, overturning it, overturning it, writing it again and overturning it, it can easily give people some bad hints. According to Helen Hermann, most projects of Hollywood such as Hollywood end up becoming a floppy guy.

Matthew only remembers that the movie starring Nicholas Cage had a sequel, and the first one must have been successful, but he was just the kind of person who passed the time when watching pirated popcorn movies. He never understood the behind-the-scenes of a movie. Who knows if it was like this at that time.

Besides, after acting in these films, he also saw clearly that the so-called official behind-the-scenes footage is limited in credibility. If all of the words that attracted attention were true, America would have been occupied by the black uncles long ago.

If the project's initiator was not Jerry Brookheimer, let alone Helen Herman, Matthew would have backed off.

His temporary energy is focused on preparing for "Dawn of the Living Dead". "National Treasure" has Helen Hermann's attention. The specific situation will be discussed after the crew is established.

Walt Disney has been planning to swallow Pixar Studios with heavy capital. It is impossible to inject too much money into this project. The lack of funds for the project can only be temporarily left. The more the movie project is, the less it is easier to raise funds. This will give investors a very bad hint.

In short, all kinds of situations have combined together, resulting in the situation where "National Treasure" is neither up nor down now.

Matthew even felt that it was not impossible for Disney Pictures to cancel this project.

As one of the two protagonists present in the film, Matthew had a lot of social engagements. He said a few words to Helen Hermann and worked for a few more days. It was not until the second half of the cocktail party that he gradually became idle.

Johnny Depp, who was also free, came over.

"I've been busy lately?" asked Johnny Depp. "I haven't come to me for two weeks."

Matthew said helplessly, "Isn't this preparing for "Dawn of the Living Dead"?"

Johnny Depp still has the same strange style of doing things, and he speaks very well. He suddenly asked, "You and Kayla are over, aren't you in a depressed mood?"

"What's the depressing thing?" Matthew felt strange, "You don't know, it's all fake."

Johnny Depp shrugged, "Why would I introduce you to a beautiful girlfriend? Someone urgently needs a new relationship to get rid of hell."

"Do you think I lack a girl companion?" Matthew asked one after another, "Do you think I'm the right person?"

Johnny Depp took a step back, looked at Matthew carefully, as if he had known him for the first time. Finally, he shook his head and said, "You are not suitable. You are like me, you are all seeing a bastard who likes each other."

Matthew was dissatisfied, "Hey, hey, scold yourself and don't get involved with me!"
