After receiving the invitation, Matthew asked Helen Herman to take a look. Helen Herman told him that this was a very reliable art exhibition. The investment consultant of Wells Gallery recently went around in Los Angeles to find potential buyers of art exhibition works. Rich and famous Hollywood stars like him are undoubtedly the best quality and easiest customer resources to deceive.

Helen Hermann also told him that if you are interested, you can go and take a look and cultivate your artistic sentiment, but if you want to bid, you must be cautious and cautious. It is best to say hello to her in advance. The water in this industry is very deep.

Matthew heard that it was a very formal art exhibition and planned to go and take a look. Helen Hermann also supported this. Although he is a commercial film star, he also had to show some high style.

Of course, Matthew will definitely be very cautious about things he doesn't understand.

He didn't know about the American side, but when he was on the other side of the Pacific, he suffered losses and was deceived.

At that time, I often saw some news on the Internet that I found a wrong version of RMB, and found a family heirloom at home, and after identification, it was worth hundreds of thousands or even millions.

He had just left school and was short of money when he happened to have an old-fashioned porcelain pot at home. He was stimulated by the news of getting rich overnight, so he took photos and found a so-called art company in the city where he worked, and went to find someone to identify it.

Until now, Matthew still remembers it very clearly. After the receptionist carefully looked at the photos, he gave an estimated price of up to 800,000!

It was definitely a huge surprise at that time. Matthew rushed home overnight and brought the porcelain pot over. His idea was very simple. He didn't need 800,000 yuan. Even if he sold it for 300,000 yuan, he could solve the urgent problem at home.

Those two years were when art investment was the hottest. Programs such as identifying heirlooms could be seen everywhere on TV, which seemed to have led to a wave of collection and search for heirlooms in the entire society.

Affected by the general environment and having no experience in leaving school, Matthew was determined to sell it at a high price. And there are no examples of making money by making a fortune in some novels that I often read?

But reality is not TV or novel after all.

Matthew took the porcelain pot and found the art investment company. The other party found a white-haired old expert with a large number of titles to appraise him, which required a considerable appraisal fee.

At that time, Matthew had no money and only gave him 300 yuan. He said that the other party would help him because the object was very valuable.

After the appraisal, the porcelain pot was very valuable. Matthew was very happy and was waiting to go to the auction to exchange for money. However, the other party said that it would require exhibition fees, publicity fees and insurance fees to go to the auction, which must be paid in advance.

After hearing what the other party said, Matthew was poured with cold water, and his mind was gradually awakened by money. He found an excuse and temporarily left the art investment company. Then he inquired from many sources and finally understood that this was a routine.

The boss on the construction site where he was carrying the work was cheated by someone in a similar way. He paid a lot of appraisal fees and exhibition fees, and he also went to the auction. However, the so-called auction is to find a few entrusted people sitting there and mess around. The items from the art investment company were "successfully sold" and the customer's artwork failed to be sold unexpectedly.

Since everyone has held an auction, the fees paid in the early stage will naturally disappear. Even if you call the police, the police will have no choice. The art company is completely doing things according to the contract.

This incident can be said to remind Matthew of this. In addition to the series of bad things such as arrears and wage demands encountered in the next few years, he quickly matured.

Although he is still swinging a sledgehammer due to the overall environment and platform, he is no longer a simple-minded young man.

When Matthew heard about the investment in art, he became alert unconsciously, but he wanted to see if the art companies in the United States would also play such wonderful tricks.

In the next two days, news came from the crew of "Mrs. Smiths". Charlize Theron passed the audition for the role of Jane Smith, and her agent was also preparing to start negotiations with the crew.

Matthew called Charlize Theron, but the answer was Stewart Townsend. He had to say a few simple words to congratulate Charlize Theron on getting the heroine and hung up the phone.

The scene I saw in front of the Black Mamba bar in Depp made him have a very bad impression of Stewart Townsend, but Charlize Theron obviously intended to cover it up. Even today, the news about her and Stewart Townsend that can be seen in the media is full of affection and there has been almost no negative news.

Charlize Theron's agency team is also negotiating with the crew of "Mr. Smiths". Matthew has entered the crew's studio at the Warner Studios to prepare for the filming of the film.

In addition to guns and action training, Matthew also had enough communication with director Doug Reeman and screenwriter Simon Kimberg.

In particular, the exchange with Doug Reeman made him understand many of the special and metaphorical ideas the director wanted outside the shooting and script scenes.

Doug Lieman said this to Matthew that his ideal film, especially the conflicts between the male and female protagonists, is an alternative interpretation of the real marriage life.

After communicating with the director, Matthew reread the script, perhaps because he was influenced by Doug Reeman and Simon Kimberg. He is a guy with a very limited level of culture. Combined with his past experience, he seems to have seen something hidden behind the script.

For example, the two companies behind the male and female protagonists in the script can be regarded as two families. Not to mention the peace that once lived on the other side of peace, even in the United States, marriages in many places are often a matter for two families.

If this is the premise to interpret the script, the male and female protagonists always follow the orders of their families in the first two years after marriage, love each other very much, but they do not express their true self, so there seems to be a wall between the two. Until one day, after the conflict reached one, they took action, they would have a deeper understanding of each other.

This seems to be just a reconciliation within them, but things are often more complicated than imagined, because life will never be as good as imagined. There is a scene in the script where the male and female protagonists fight side by side for the common goal. In fact, the "tank" is understood from the perspective mentioned by Doug Liman and can be regarded as children in the family. The couple will always fight side by side for the children's affairs, and there will be friction.

The plot development after the script, things obviously became even more messy. Marriage is a matter between two families. The storm has involved more people, and the male and female protagonists must stick to the end for love.

According to Doug Liman and Simon Kimberg, the final gun battle scene in the script is chosen in a home furnishing store, which implies the meaning of "marriage is like a war".

The hero and heroine held various guns and their tacit cooperation made Matthew think of the couple moves such as "Mandarin duck sword" and "Swords" in martial arts novels I have read.

Only when the two of them have reached a certain level of tacit understanding can they defeat the enemy.

Judging from the exchange between Matthew, Doug Reeman and Simon Kimberg, the real core of this film is family, and family is precisely one of the most popular values ​​that America likes to promote.

In this regard, the value orientation of "Mr. Smith" is very correct.

In the past few years since entering Hollywood, Matthew has actually seen that all Hollywood award-winning films and mainstream commercial films have extremely correct value orientations, and will not even deviate from a single minute.

This Hollywood-style value has profoundly influenced most movies, and movies in turn will also affect society.

So, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are now almost one-sided insults in the media and the public, except for their fans.

But Hollywood stars' faces are definitely thicker than the front armor of the US main battle tank. This is true for Matthew and Brad Pitt.

They have not divorced Jennifer Aniston yet. From a legal perspective, both parties are still husband and wife, but are temporarily in the separation stage. Brad Pitt took Angelina Jolie in a very high-profile manner with Angelina Jolie to Africa to take care of her children.

The big battle they created before leaving made the people who saw it subconsciously feel that this was a celebrity couple who were newlywed and preparing to go on their honeymoon...

It is obvious that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, as well as the team behind them, know a lot about promoting PR.

Events like this sensational celebrity couple will inevitably lead to a ubiquitous viewing and a phenomenon of being watched all the time. The viewers are omnipresent, and now the developed media acts as the eyes of people's curiosity.

In today's highly developed society, people who are viewed can never hide, even in the poor areas of Paris and in the deserts of Africa.

At the same time, the attitude of the viewer is also very ambiguous. The stars who are watched express their depression, telling them that they were persecuted by the media's sight and they lost their original life, but they are still glamorous together, performing their highly regarded happy scenes, showing all the love that can be shown.

All this has become a game of wanting to welcome but rejecting, and the sincerity that couples need most is erased.

The mentality of viewers is also very complicated. They want them to be together and not to be together. They need to see them together to satisfy their desire to peek. At the same time, they need to see that they are in a variety of situations and are not smooth, satisfying the sour grape mentality of ordinary people.

Let me say that, I am happy to see it, and I am glad to be gloating.

What exactly has led to a lot of so-called "star couples"? Is it their own love or the strong expectations of the audience? Do they desire to be seen or not? Is their high-profile love a need for expression from the heart or self-hype? Is it a pleasure to be loved or to be seen?
