Chapter 254 Prisoners
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
Next to the long bar counter of the Black Mamba Bar, Matthew picked up a cocktail and took a small sip. He felt sweet and sour, but he knew that this was the appearance. This carefully prepared cocktail had a very strong momentum. With his pretty good alcohol content, a few cups were poured into his stomach and he would probably fall down soon.
Bang
The sound of a wine glass falling on the bar counter sounded next to it. Matthew turned his head and Charlize Theron had killed a same cocktail. He said to Johnny Depp on the other side of the bar, "Dep, have another one."
Matthew and Johnny Depp left the party early and came to Black Mamba to drink. Then they met Charlize Theron, who was sitting alone at the bar drinking. Both sides knew each other and got together.
Johnny Depp didn't say much, and gave Charlize Theron a hand-made cocktail.
Charlize Theron picked it up, raised his head and poured it into his mouth, took out a cigarette and a lighter, lit a cigarette, and then signaled Matthew to the cigarette and the lighter.
Matthew shook his head, Charlize Theron spit out a smoke ring and said, "I almost forgot, you don't smoke."
They have drunk a few times here and have some understanding.
Charlize Theron waved to Johnny Depp, "Depp, have another drink!"
"Is the free wine particularly delicious?" Johnny Depp muttered, pouring another glass of Charlize Theron. "I'm still so hospitable."
Matthew pointed at him, "Don't you welcome Sally?"
Johnny Depp had a correct expression, "Of course we welcome! I don't welcome you."
That being said, Matthew knew very well that Johnny Depp was hospitable and generous. People like them came to the bar to drink, and he always treated him to a treat.
The strong smell of smoke came from beside her. Matthew turned around and looked. Charlize Theron was obviously not in a good mood. In fact, she had basically never spoken except for drinking.
"What's wrong?" Matthew said, "Are you upset?"
Charlize Theron glanced at him and nodded, "There are too many troubles."
Matthew looked at her and said, "Your figure has basically recovered, probably not for this?"
The last time he saw Charlize Theron, she was preparing for the new film. She had gained weight for several laps, and now she almost returned to what she looked like when she first met her.
Charlize Theron shrugged, "You won't understand the troubles of women, even if you tell you."
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Matthew stopped asking more, after all, the two of them had just drunk a few times.
The bar door opened from outside at this time, and a handsome man walked in, his eyes patrolled the bar, then landed on Charlize Theron, and soon walked towards the bar.
The man got closer and closer. Matthew heard the footsteps and looked back, and found him staring at Charlize Theron, reminding him, "Sally, it seems that someone is coming to find you."
Charlize Theron turned around and looked at the handsome man.
Matthew suddenly discovered that Charlize Theron, who was originally calm and even a little cold, had a hint of panic on his face.
The man came over and without saying a word, grabbed Charlize Theron's arm and said gloomyly, "Don't you understand what I said? Am I still your boyfriend?"
While speaking, he pulled Charlize Theron toward the bar door. Charlize Theron seemed to have done something wrong and whispered, "Sorry, I'm just here to have a drink!"
"Don't you have any wine at home for you to drink?" The man's voice suddenly rose, "You're going to come to such a place!"
Matthew stood up and looked over there. Judging from the conversation between the two, the man should be her boyfriend.
Johnny Depp walked around the bar, walked over and said to the side, "Stuart Townsend, what's wrong with my place like this? Sally can't come to her friend's bar to drink?"
The man named Stewart Townsend ignored Johnny Depp and dragged Charlize Theron out. Johnny Depp was a little helpless, but he still followed him. Matthew thought about it and walked over.
Stewart Townsend and Charlize Theron in front took the lead in leaving the bar, and Matthew and Johnny Depp also followed.
"What's going on?" Matthew was a little confused about the situation.
Johnny Depp briefly explained, "This man has some psychological problems, and is not very good for Charlize Theron."
The two left the bar and saw Stewart Townsend and Charlize Theron getting into a car. The car did not start immediately. Matthew stood at the door of the bar. From this perspective, he could vaguely see that the two people in the car seemed to have a verbal conflict.
But what Matthew didn't expect was that Stewart Townsend actually raised his hand and slapped Charlize Theron!
Because of a distance, Matthew and Depp could only watch the car and then start to leave.
Matthew frowned, "How could this happen?"
The feeling that Charlize Theron gave him is always a strong and independent woman, and he also has a strong aura. Now it seems that these are all packagings created the day after tomorrow.
Johnny Depp shook his head, "Sally is now a prisoner trapped in the cage of love."
It was hard for outsiders to say anything about this kind of thing. Matthew and Depp watched the car disappear and returned to the bar, but the two of them lost the nature of drinking. They chatted for a while and left the bar one after another.
In the following days, Matthew returned to his previous regular life and focused more on preparing for "Dawn of the Living Dead". He also paid attention to Charlize Theron's dynamics. Whether it was on the Internet or in the gossip tabloids, he did not see the news of Charlize Theron breaking up with his boyfriend. Instead, in some of the latest daily gossip news released by tmz, he saw Charlize Theron and Stewart Townsend go on vacation in Europe together.
Seeing such news, he could only sigh inwardly that everyone has their own way of living.
When Matthew was on the phone with Depp, he also communicated with him about this. In Depp's statement, Stewart Townsend was spending Charlize Theron's money to give Charlize Theron a ecstasy soup.
Johnny Depp mentioned that he and Keanu Reeves actually reminded Charlize Theron more than once, but the women who were trapped in the cage of love didn't listen to these things at all. Moreover, they were just friends with Charlize Theron, so they couldn't say too much.
Anyway, after hearing Johnny Depp's description, Matthew left a very bad impression of Stewart Townsend. To describe it as the words of the past, this person is a bit like a soft-hearted person.
However, he just thought about it. After all, when it comes to friendship with Charlize Theron, he is far inferior to Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves.
Matthew is preparing for the role, and new news has also come from the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead". Sean Daniel and Zach Schneider have determined the heroine of the film, which is the supporting actress with the most role in Matthew.
"The crew chose Jessica Alba, the heroine of "The End of the Days" produced by James Cameron, as the actor of this role."
Hearing Helen Herman's words, Matthew suddenly remembered something, "I've seen this Jessica Alba at Staples Center, her skin color...Don't Sean mind?"
"Jessica Alba is just a Latino." Helen Hermann obviously also paid attention to this. "You forgot that Sean just has stereotypes about Africans."
Matthew nodded, "That's it."
Helen Hermann waved his hand, "It doesn't matter who the heroine is, it just plays a vase. This drama is entirely focused on you."
"I know." Matthew talked to Zach Schneider several times recently. One is to prepare for the filming of the film, and the other is to bring the relationship between the two people closer. "Zach seems to have some unique insights into action scenes and the film scenes, but most of them are rejected by Sean."
Helen Herman looked at Matthew curiously, "It seems that Zach Schneider will talk to you everything?"
Matthew casually said, "We have a lot of the same views on the movie."
Helen Hermann scoffed, "You? What insights do you have?"
"Don't underestimate people?" Matthew seemed to have a really unique insight and said, "He and I both think that the pictures in the film can be made of a thick color like oil paintings, and the action shots can be shot in high-speed slow motion, showing every detail of the action and every thread of blood to the audience."
Helen Hermann glanced at Matthew and said, "Shawn would not agree."
"Yes, Sean is a relatively conservative producer." After Matthew has been in a few years, he has seen it very clearly. Conservatism has never been a derogatory term for Hollywood commercial films. Innovation is something that production companies don't like. "So, Zach Schneider will only use it appropriately. How to make this film is in Sean's hands."
As an advertising director who has been newly transferred to the film industry, let alone the producer Sean Daniel, even the male lead Matthew is far above Zach Schneider from the pay to the crew.
Once the investment amount is large, even if the new director is a peerless genius, it is impossible for him to get much power in a Hollywood environment.
Basically they are the chief conductor of the set filming.
Fortunately, although Zach Schneider does not have the right to edit the post, he is not completely excluded from post-production and will still participate in post-production. However, the power can only be said to be better than nothing.
In the next two days, the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead" quickly finalized the remaining actors. In addition to Matthew and Alexandra Dadario who had passed the audition, Helen Herman's Angel Agency also had a large number of ordinary actors joining the crew and playing some small supporting roles and important zombies.
