Chapter 420 The True Legend

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

After receiving the notice from Aziva Gossman, Helen Herman temporarily put down other work and devoted himself to the negotiations with the crew of "I am a Legend". Although the two sides reached an agreement on the biggest differences and contradictions of the pay, it is common for a big star to have hundreds of pages of content, and it is not uncommon for hundreds of clauses to appear.

Helen Hermann is no longer involved in negotiations alone. He mobilized five other agents from the company to participate in the negotiations together. She was responsible for taking the overall situation. Then each agent negotiated with the crew on some aspects such as shooting, life, accommodation, travel, publicity and security.

This involves a commercial contract of $20 million, and the complexity of negotiations and contracts can also be imagined in terms of the amount.

According to Helen Hermann, even if the negotiation process goes well, it will take at least about ten days to complete.

"I heard you kicked Will Smith out?"

In the training ground for the remodeling of the studio, James McAvoy approached Matthew and asked, "Has he done anything against you?"

"It's not me who kicked him out." Matthew put away the props and said, "I was the first choice for the crew of "I am a legend". He wanted to steal my role, but he just failed."

He walked towards the edge of the field, waited for James McAvoy to follow him, and said, "According to the news I received, Will Smith won't do anything. Such a role competition is just a normal competition. I am just a job competition and there are no personal conflicts. I heard that Will Smith is a smart person and should not be so stupid as to start a war with me."

James McAvoy also woke up and nodded, "I still regard you as Michael and I." He shook his head, "Big star and ordinary actors are completely different from each other, and they will not start a war easily."

Matthew turned his head and smiled and said to him, "You and Michael will be red soon."

James McAvoy shrugged, "I hope."

After saying this, he reminded Matthew again, "You should still pay attention to Will Smith. Even if he doesn't target you, he will probably not be ruthless when he can hack you."

Matthew nodded. Will Smith didn't know that if it were him, he would have failed to compete with someone for a male lead and had the chance to take the blame, he would definitely not have let it go.

Helen Hermann received news from inside the Caa that Will Smith and Kevin Huo Weien, although they were a little unhappy about the failure in the battle for the role, did not mean to him.

“Will has been in Hollywood and has failed in competition.”

In a cafe opposite Century City Shopping Center, Jada Smith looked at the black man opposite and said, "If every role that fails, Will will have to fight against the winner, and there is no time to do normal work."

The person sitting opposite Jada Smith was Naomi Harris, who said, "I just thought it would be a pity to lose a big project with a $150 million production budget."

Jada Smith also had a similar feeling, but Will Smith had told her a lot, which made her understand a little bit, "Will is a first-line movie star. Of course, he would be happy to be able to get this role. If he can't get it, there are other opportunities, and this role is not necessary."

Naomi Harris looks at the problems facing Will Smith with his own position, and of course he doesn't really see them.

In recent years, under the favorable conditions of the black people in Hollywood, she has gradually narrowed her relationship with Jada Smith, and Jada Smith is also a black supremacist, and the two have a common topic in this regard.

Will Smith failed to audition for the male lead in "I Am Legend", which reminded Naomi Harris of an extremely embarrassing encounter. She had a good relationship with Jada Smith and specially made an appointment with her to see if she could cause some trouble for the bastard. Even if she didn't succeed, she would just waste some saliva.

Unexpectedly, Jada Smith and Will Smith were not particularly angry about the failed audition.

After hearing Jada Smith's words, Naomi Harris' head turned several times before finally figured out that every opportunity for an actor of her level could be said to be a gift from God. Even supporting roles like the witches in the two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean" have to be fought for, but Will Smith is completely different. He is one of the most popular among the top stars. It is estimated that there are at least a dozen film appointments he receives every year.

"I originally thought Will could get this role." Naomi Harris looked indignant, "I didn't expect the crew to choose the little star Matthew Horner, who has a much worse qualification than Will."

Jada Smith picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. He remembered what Will Smith said and retelled it as it was, "Originally, the first choice target of the crew of "I am Legend" was Matthew Horner. It was only later that the negotiations with Matthew Horner were not going well, so he sent Will an audition invitation. At that time, Will also knew that the invitation had the intention of putting pressure on Matthew Horner. However, Will was a fan of Richard Matherson and was very interested in the hero in the original work, so he wanted to try to snatch the character."

She put down her coffee cup and sighed, "I didn't get it in the end."

Naomi Harris still didn't give up, "Jadda, you said last time that Will and Caa did a lot of work for this role, and they just threw it away. Didn't they all become useless?"

"If it doesn't work, then don't fight." Jada Smith is not only Mrs. Smith, but also an actor who has been living in Hollywood for many years. "Even if there is only one percent hope, you have to fight for it, so that you can get the role."

She shook her head and said, "Naomi, don't you think that a top-tier star can get a favorite character by doing nothing, right?"

Naomi Harris shook his head quickly, "No, how could I be so naive?" She continued, "I'm just curious whether the producer and director of the crew of "I Am Legend" had a problem with his brain. He would rather use a small star like Matthew Horner than a big star like Will."

"Matthew Horner is a little star?" Jada Smith stood on her husband's side. Although she didn't like Matthew Horner, she would not deny the most basic facts. She laughed and said, "Naomi, if Matthew Horner is a little star, how many people in Hollywood can be considered big stars?"

Neither Naomi Harris' answer, Jada Smith said, "It is said that the pay that Matthew Horner has reached with the crew of "I Am Legend" is $20 million! Naomi, can members of the 20 million club be considered small stars?"

"What?" Naomi Harris didn't pretend this time, looking shocked, "Marthew Horner's salary is $20 million?"

Jada Smith nodded, "Matthew Horner is a big star who can get $20 million in film pay!"

Naomi Harris was dizzy. What is the concept of $20 million? She may not make so much money in her life! It would be great if her salary for a movie could be $20 million, then she could just go to the modeling circle to hook up with male models.

"He..." Naomi Harris muttered, "It's just good luck."

Jada Smith couldn't help but shake his head, and it was obvious that Naomi Harris probably didn't like Matthew Horner very much.

Of course, she didn't like Matthew Horner either, but some facts exist objectively and cannot be denied by her alone.

She had discussed Matthew Horner privately with Will Smith. This guy's experience was dreamt of young people who wanted to be celebrities. Will Smith told her that Matthew Horner was Hollywood that began to come to 1999. It seemed that he had nothing to do with any big shot in the circle. In just six or seven years, he went from the bottom-level extra to the ranks of the 20 million dollar club. Even if he looked at the whole Hollywood, it could be said that it was extremely rare.

This cannot be explained by luck alone. Good luck can make an actor succeed once or twice, but it is impossible to succeed so many times in succession.

Thinking of this, Jada Smith sighed. Everyone thought Will Smith's experience was legendary, but in comparison, the process of Matthew Horner running all the way up is the real legend.

Jada Smith has no doubt that even if Matthew Horner is not popular in the next few years, after more than ten or twenty years, this experience will be adapted into a biographical film by Hollywood.

She chatted with Naomi Harris for a while, paid the bill and left the cafe.

After leaving the cafe gate, Jada Smith happened to see the huge poster of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Casket" hanging above the main entrance of the shopping mall. Matthew Horner and Johnny Depp were extremely eye-catching.

Jada Smith whispered, "He's really too red."

In fact, she said something similar to Naomi Harris to her husband Will Smith, and her response to Naomi Harris was also what Will Smith said to her at the time.

Will Smith doesn't want to have sharp conflicts with other stars with similar ranks because of a character.

This is of course only one aspect.

Will Smith also told her on the other hand that after Matthew Horner reached an agreement with the crew of "I Am Legend", the person who was most unhappy was director Francis Lawrence, because Matthew Horner would be named co-producer and his power could surpass the director. He also extended his hand to the supporting actress Francis Lawrence wanted.
