Chapter 267 out

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

In an audition room at Disney Studios, Matthew ended a performance according to Jerry Brookheimer's request, imitated Helen Hermann, helped off his glasses, stood in front of the camera, waiting for instructions for the next stage.

Jerry Brookheimer, who was in charge of the audition, seemed very calm and said, "Okay. Matthew, let's get here today, and I will notify Helen as soon as possible."

"Okay." Matthew didn't say much, turned around and left the audition room, followed a staff member, and went to the dressing room.

In the audition room, Jerry Brookheimer turned on the monitor in front of him and watched Matthew's audition video again. Anderson Martinez next to him was also watching it very seriously.

After the video was played, Anderson Martinez frowned slightly and muttered strangely, "I always feel something is wrong."

Without him reminding me, in fact, during the audition, Jerry Brookheimer discovered something wrong.

Jerry Brookheimer replays the audition video again, and Anderson Martinez scratches his head while watching, "What's wrong?"

With his eyes fixed on the monitor screen, Jerry Brookheimer never spoke until the audition video was played, he stood up and said, "You call Helen Herman in person to notify that Matthew Horner is not suitable for this role."

Anderson Martinez was stunned for a moment because he knew that Jerry Brookheimer preferred Matthew Horner to be the leading actor before the audition.

He tried to ask, "Is there really a problem?"

This is one of the most trusted assistants. Jerry Brookheimer did not hide it. He replayed the audition video and pointed to Matthew in the picture and said, "Did you find it? Matthew has formed a masculinity that matches his external tough lines, strong and even a bit domineering momentum. Even in a suit and glasses, he will still show it when performing. This temperament allows him to play a strong blacksmith and a professional soldier, but a scholar-type male protagonist..."

He shook his head, "The audition is obviously very different from what I expected. Matthew is not suitable for this type of role, he is more suitable for King Arthur."

Jerry Brookheimer sighed. Cliff Irving's performance in "King Arthur" can only be said to be quite good, and it is somewhat different from expectations. If this powerful character is replaced by Matthew Horner, he may be as outstanding as Will Turner.

Now it seems that the male protagonist of "National Treasure" cannot use Matthew Horner. Even if Matthew Horner is dressed like a student, he actually does not have the historical thickness and scholarly style required by decryption experts. At that time, if he stands in front of the villain and is threatened by the villain's force, that kind of scene will not be decrypted, but will directly turn into a comedy.

Speaking of which, he still had too high expectations for Matthew Horner, and Matthew Horner's acting skills...

Jerry Brookheimer soon had a clear concept. Matthew Horner had no problem dealing with roles with similar temperaments, but roles with opposite temperaments were not good enough.

Since it is not suitable, he certainly won't take the risk of using it. This is Hollywood, and it's not difficult to find the right young actor.

Then, Jerry Brookheimer handed over the remaining finishing work to Anderson Martinez and left the audition room first.

Helen Hermann was leaving Disney Studios and returning to Angels Agency's car and received a call from Anderson Martinez.

"Well, okay." She looked calm, "Thank you for the call notification, Anderson."

After saying politely, he hung up the phone. Helen Herman closed his cell phone and turned to look at Matthew. Matthew had roughly guessed the audition results from her tone of talking on the phone.

Sure enough, Helen Herman said, "Tell you bad news, we're out."

Matthew asked curiously, "Why?"

Helen Hermann said directly, "Jerry Brookhai defaults to the personal temperament you show, which is too different from the scholarly temperament required by the character."

Matthew understood the meaning behind this, "He thinks there is something wrong with my acting skills?"

"So that's it." Helen Herman thought for a while and said, "Jerry Brookheimer just told me that Jerry Brookheimer had already settled the protagonist's character with the screenwriter and submitted it to Disney Pictures. It will not be changed easily. This is a scholar-type character. The type of film is action and adventure, but it is mainly adventure, and the male protagonist has very few action scenes."

Matthew curled his lips, is Anderson Martinez an atypical hindsight?

Helen Herman seemed to guess Matthew's idea and said, "Anderson Martinez is one of Jerry Brookheimer's most important assistants. If Jerry Brookheimer asks, even if we have a good relationship with him, will he risk being fired by Jerry Brookheimer and reveal the news to us?"

Matthew shook his head slightly, "I'm just a little depressed. We have followed up this project from this time last year and have ended up with an out. We always feel uncomfortable."

"I'm depressed, too." Helen Hermann did not show it, "but this is Hollywood. Even if you become a second-tier star, there are still many candidates to replace you."

The self-deprecating sound on her face flashed, "You don't think we can get any roles we want, right?"

Matthew raised his eyebrows and looked at Helen Hermann, "Am I such a fool?"

No one wants to see the result of the failed audition, but it is normal that it happens. He has heard about it before. Also participating in the audition are second-tier stars such as James Franko, Jude Law and Colin Farrell. None of them wins is unexpected.

But I have been paying attention to Jerry Brookheimer's new project since last year, but now I'm in vain and it's inevitable that I'm not willing to give up.

After getting off the car and entering the Angel Agency, Matthew's unwillingness gradually faded. After all, he was just a second-tier star, neither Tom Hanks nor Tom Cruise. As Helen Herman said in the car, there are too many people who can replace second-tier stars.

"Are you okay?"

Entering the front hall of the Angel Brokerage Company, Helen Hermann glanced at Matthew and confirmed, "You're OK."

Matthew shrugged, "I am a man. Do you want to complain about this all day? If the audition fails, just go and fight for the next job."

"The mentality is good." Helen Hermann rarely praised Matthew.

Matthew was a little uncomfortable and waved his hand casually, "You can do it, I'll go to the entertainment room to play games."

While speaking, he didn't care about Helen Hermann and turned straight into the corridor next to him. He decided to relax today and stop thinking about the messy things. Helen Hermann was there, so he didn't have to worry too much about finding a new job.

At this level, just like advertising endorsements cannot be accepted casually, film appointments cannot be accepted randomly. Selective selection is very important. Sometimes, too many dramas may not be a good thing. It is easy to produce bad movies. The box office of bad movies will not affect the status, but will directly lower the pay for a film.

Hollywood's film market mechanism is to only watch the box office of movies that have appeared in the past three years. The box office is not high, and the pay will decline. Even the Oscar winner and actress best actor are no exception.

Many fallen superstars actually start with receiving a super bad movie, such as Nicholas Cage, who had no money, did not read the script at all, and almost refused everyone, which caused the biggest problem. If you film too much, your value dropped sharply.

In Hollywood, there will be no situation where the older you are, the older you are, the higher your pay and the higher your qualifications.

Everything is decided by the market after all.

Pushing open the door of the entertainment room, Matthew randomly found a game console and started playing Super Mary and Conra.

A few days later, news came that James Franco, who played the little green demon in "Spider-Man", won the male lead in "National Treasure".

After Matthew learned about it, he didn't find it strange. Because of his appearance, the film changed a lot, and no one knew whether it would be successful in the end.

Since Matthew and Helen Hermann adhered to the principle of not being insignificant in the film, except for the clone project that DreamWorks and Michael Bay collaborated on, they did not find a suitable crew or role until December.

Matthew was not in a hurry. During this period, he went to the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead" to participate in a dubbing. He chatted with Zach Schneider for an afternoon. The two had a highly unified view on the background pictures of the movie and the use of high-speed slow motion.

Of course, it was basically Zach Schneider who said that Matthew listened carefully, after all, he knew very little about these professional directorial knowledge.

From Zach Schneider's words, Matthew could hear that Zach Schneider was strictly restricted by Sean Daniel in post-production and had no way to use his specialties.

Matthew couldn't help but think of the three hundred red pants. He vaguely remembered that it was the ancient Greeks fighting the invasion of the ancient Persians. It seemed that it was adapted from a novel or a comic. Maybe you can look for it and wait for Zach Schneider to finish "Dawn of the Living Dead", and the two of them worked together on the three hundred red pants?

This can only be done with ideas for the time being, because without the support of a reliable film company, it would be too difficult to create such a production.

Anyway, I'm not in a hurry now. After all, "Dawn of the Living Dead" has not been released yet, so it's not too late to wait for this zombie film to be released.

"The Living Dead" is successful and everything is easy to say. If it fails, Zach Schneider will definitely be on the blacklist of various film companies and even investors, and there is no way to talk about the subsequent movies.
