Chapter 393 Completely Failed

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

Entering the screening room, Matthew found his seat. As soon as he sat down, Johnny Depp next to him came over and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay?"

Matthew shook his head, "It's OK."

As of now, there should be no problem, but only he himself knows what Harvey Weinstein thinks.

Kayla Knightley on the other side also asked with concern, "Harvey Weinstein didn't ask you to go to the hotel to talk, right?"

"You're thinking too much," Matthew said, glaring at her, "This matter is temporarily dealt with."

Johnny Depp said again: "Didn't you have a conflict with him?"

Matthew shook his head, "How could I have a conflict with someone who is so honest and honest!"

Kayla Knightley rolled her eyes, "You are honest..."

Matthew pointed to the screen, "The movie has begun, let's watch the movie."

In any case, this is Gore Vipensky's masterpiece. As a collaborator, Matthew is still very serious in watching movies. Understanding the director's style will also help the next shooting.

What's more, the protagonist of this film is Nicholas Cage, an actor Matthew likes very much.

Unfortunately, I was entangled by Harvey Weinstein and didn't talk to Nicholas Cage for a few words, but Matthew also had a rough understanding. Nicholas Cage's situation is not very good now. Since he failed to star in John Wu's "The Whisperer", he has been in bad luck. His recent movies have not had a very good box office reputation.

Especially when he lost "National Treasure", his situation was even worse.

Matthew did not have any special feelings about this, nor did he feel sorry for anyone. It is normal for you to compete in Hollywood.

He used to like Nicholas Cage's movies very much, and now he also likes Nicholas Cage's movies very much, but this kind of love comes purely from the film and the characters, and has nothing to do with competing for roles in the circle.

The film began to be screened, from the beginning to the end of the film, Matthew watched it very seriously. Perhaps because he lacked enough interest in this type of movie, he only felt that Gore Vipensky's new film was not even as good as the American version of "Midnight Bell" that he had filmed before.

If most viewers had similar opinions to him, Nicholas Cage might have failed again.

Of course, Matthew knew that his point of view might not be accurate, because he lacked the purer American life crisis reflected in the film.

This "Weather Forecaster" can be called the echo of "American Beauty" a few years ago. It is another film about the midlife crisis of the middle class in the United States.

Matthew is 25 years old and is not middle-aged yet. He has neither an economic crisis nor a mid-life crisis.

He is not middle-aged, not middle-aged, and not deeply understands American cultural ideas, so his understanding of this film is very difficult.

This 34-minute video always feels like someone is talking to him about how to put the green or talking about the pedigree of a horse racing, and he knows nothing at all.

Matthew does not have the ability of a film critic, and can also understand it easily and easily, so this film cannot resonate with him personally.

He didn't know what a midlife crisis was, nor could he understand that mood. The midlife crisis that Matthew knew was just a terrible and irritable person.

Perhaps only middle-aged people in the United States can resonate?

Matthew couldn't understand why Gore Vibinsky chose this film? Perhaps the director had his own expression, but as an actor, he couldn't understand it.

What about Nicholas Cage? This movie only looks at the atmosphere and looks frustrating. How many viewers can you expect to pay for the film that reflects the midlife crisis? Could it be that because of the midlife crisis, Nicholas Cage resonates when he selected the film and book?

Such dull films are easier to push an actor's career that has already begun to decline to a lower landing point.

As Matthew thought, the movie "Weather Forecaster" only received a box office of $4 million in the first week of North America, and its reputation was also very bad.

For Gore Vibinsky, who owns the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, it would not be a big deal to mess up a production like this, but Nicholas Cage would not be so short and would obviously continue to slide.

After experiencing countless glory, a superstar has reached the verge of falling.

After the weekend when "Weather Forecaster" was released, Matthew, like director Gore Wibinsky, re-entered the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World".

At the same time, a lot of news about him was continuously spread to him through Helen Hermann and Bella Anderson.

Just entered November, David Ellison's Sky Dance Films officially signed a contract with Warner Bros. Warner Bros. will become the North American and overseas publisher of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", fully responsible for the promotion and distribution of the film.

The official signing of the issuance contract also means that Harvey Weinstein's intention to seek the issuance rights of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" was completely lost.

According to the news obtained by Helen Herman, an executive from the distribution department of Warner Bros. had a very unpleasant fight with Harvey Weinstein at a banquet. The executive sternly warned Harvey Weinstein that Harvey Weinstein, who had bombarded Warner Bros. several times, certainly did not take this trick. He immediately confronted him and almost scolded him directly.

After this incident, Matthew learned that Harvey Weinstein wanted to obtain the distribution rights of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" not only because he was optimistic about the prospects of this film, but also related to Warner Bros.

In other words, Harvey Weinstein is targeting Warner Bros. to a certain extent.

The origin of the grudges between the two sides comes from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Xinyi Film, a subsidiary of Warner Bros., released this series. The Weinstein brothers participated in the investment because they had some copyrights before. As a result, the two sides share the spoils unevenly, resulting in the intensification of the conflict.

Harvey Weinstein has publicly criticized Warner Bros. in newspapers, magazines and TV interviews.

This time, Harvey Weinstein was a tit-for-tat confrontation with Warner Bros. Although he did not get it in the end, it also made it a success for Warner Bros.

The six major Hollywood companies are affiliated with major media groups, but they are basically independent accounting for their business. If it is not a particularly important matter, the parent company will generally not interfere with the normal operation of its subsidiaries.

Not to mention that because of such a small matter, a group of forces was mobilized to fight Harvey Weinstein.

After hearing Helen Hermann say this, Matthew originally thought it had nothing to do with him, but Helen Hermann solemnly reminded him that Harvey Weinstein is quite the style of the Washington authorities. If you don’t stand on my side, you will stand on my opposite side.

She also told Matthew another thing: a well-known Hollywood actress took an elevator with Harvey Weinstein during the Venice Film Festival, but was harassed by Harvey Weinstein. The actress had a violent personality and severely criticized him. However, Harvey Weinstein not only did not restrain himself, but also pushed the actress out of the elevator when she arrived at the floor where he moved in, and dragged her arm to his room. If the actress had not had the extremely fierce resistance, the consequences could be imagined.

A guy like Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie who dares to harass people with a deep background in the Hollywood circle can imagine how domineering he is.

Matthew wrote down Helen Herman's words, and at the same time he knew that the Hollywood circle said it was small and not big, and it was impossible for him to always avoid Harvey Weinstein. Judging from the current situation, Harvey Weinstein does not seem to have any intention of doing anything to him, but no one can guarantee that once "The Three Hundred Warriors" achieves great success, Harvey Weinstein will still be like this now.

What he is most important is to continue to improve his status and appeal. Even Harvey Weinstein dares to provoke superstars like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks.

Maybe Harvey Weinstein can't do anything, but the human heart is really the most difficult to measure.

Matthew has thought from the perspective of others, and the producer naturally overwhelms the actors. This is an unchangeable fact. Harvey Weinstein's influence in the producer league is extraordinary. If it were him, there was no need to do anything deliberately. When an actor competed for a very important role, if there were important people familiar with the crew and just call him, it might affect the choice of the actors.

This kind of thing doesn't take much effort at all.

Just as the Actors Union always unites against the Producers League, generally, producers will also stand on the producer’s side.

Of course, there is also good news from Helen Hermann. She negotiated with David Ellison's Sky Dance Films for all the treatment Matthew had on the project "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartans".

This is an extremely generous contract.

After Matthew completed the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World", he began to work in the crew of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta". The crew will provide Matthew with a full-time driver, two bodyguards and a RV. During Matthew's filming for the crew, the crew will be responsible for the salary of his stylist, costumers and personal assistants.

When playing casts and paid for the movie theater, Matthew's name must be the same size as the title, and must definitely be ahead of other starring actors; Matthew's name on the poster can be only 30% of the size of the film's name, but except for the publisher and release date, it must be larger than the names of other cast members.

Matthew has the right to decide whether to participate in any commercial publicity, including accepting any media interviews. If he agrees to an interview, the schedule must be given priority; if there are other visits or interviews, the crew must notify him or Helen Herman forty-eight hours in advance.

(I remember reading the news that Harvey Weinstein directly criticized Warner Bros. on TV shows, and the scolding was very ugly, as if it was because of the copyright and spoils of "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit". In reality, Harvey Weinstein angrily criticized the Six Major more than once.)
