Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

On the slightly old road of Warner Studios, a four-wheeled electric vehicle rushed past and drove towards the studio in the center of the studio. It soon stopped at the door of the studio. Francis Lawrence, with a golden brown back, jumped out of the car and hurried into the studio.

He found Aziva Gosman in the studio and whispered, "Can you talk a few times?"

Aziva Gosman glanced at Francis Lawrence and nodded slightly, "Go to my office."

The two left the set up and entered the temporary office of the studio. Aziva Gossman asked directly, "Is there anything wrong?"

Francis Lawrence took a deep breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said, "Aziva, we communicated some time ago. Didn't you agree to me at that time? Can you recommend a supporting actress? "

"Yes." Aziva Gosman remembers what he said, "Of course you can recommend it."

Francis Lawrence asked strangely, trying to tactfully, "But I heard that you treat the supporting actress as a condition for negotiations with Matthew Horner?"

Aziva Gosman frowned slightly and said patiently, "Matthew Horner can also recommend the supporting actress candidates, just like you." He coughed in a low voice, "Who is the most suitable role for this role? I will talk about it later."

Hearing this, Francis Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the candidate for supporting actress has not been decided, the candidate he recommended still has hope. No matter what, he is the director of this project.

He spoke a few politely to Aziva Gosman, then left the studio, intending to return to his office to continue the director's preparations.

When driving an electric car and passing by the door of the studio where the crew of "The Three Hundred Warriors" is located, Francis Lawrence took a look inside. The studio was dark and there was nothing to see.

Unfortunately, Aziva Gosman did not obey his opinion and finally chose Matthew Horner, Will Smith was eliminated.

If he has the power to cast, the male lead must be Will Smith or other black actors, and the female supporting role is of course his new girlfriend Paula Patton. For other important roles, if you can use black actors, try to use black actors.

Since its establishment, Hollywood has been too unfair to treat black actors.

Everyone is equal. Why do black actors suffer unfair treatment? Hollywood should compensate for everything they have done in the past and must give black actors more opportunities.

Francis Lawrence remembered the co-producer that Matthew Horner might have, and felt that he was going to develop in the direction of part-time producers. Most directors in Hollywood do not have the right to decide the main actors. At best, they have the right to suggest. To effectively improve the status of black actors, they need greater power and more like-minded people.

After Helen Hermann and Aziva Gossman reached an agreement on Matthew's pay, cooperation between the two parties has become a foregone conclusion.

As April approached, Helen Hermann led the Angel Agency's agency team to complete all negotiations with the crew of "I Am Legend". Then, under the witness of lawyers and representatives of the actors' union, Matthew signed a formal actor contract with the crew of "I Am Legend".

Like the oral agreement reached, the actor contract is worth up to $20 million!

To be honest, Matthew doesn't think such a pay is too much. On the one hand, he has the excellent box office results in the past few years, but on the other hand, he has the feeling of insecurity.

He knew very well that what was the most important thing for his success was besides Helen Hermann's operations and his basic abilities.

At most, in more than ten years, the biggest factor that can keep him successful will definitely disappear. What should I do if the box office of the starring movies is losing one after another? Is it really like Nicholas Cage, who went to the other side of the Pacific to cheat?

Now he earns tens of millions of dollars every year. People go from frugality to extravagance, but from extravagance to frugality, and then they can't make money, so they can only earn money.

Therefore, when he can make money, he will make as much as possible.

Also, in the Hollywood circle, he has been somewhat affected by the general environment.

Although the professional lifespan of an actor is much longer than that of a model, for most actors, they are also a youthful life. For example, Matthew himself, although he is not an idol star, to a certain extent, he mainly sells his figure and appearance.

In addition, with the foresight cheating, time became Matthew's biggest enemy. Whether his figure and skills can be safe and sound for ten years is also a hidden danger in his heart. Besides, the audience fell in love with him today, so will they hate him tomorrow?

Although he doesn't feel a strong sense of insecurity deep down like many celebrities, Matthew also considered that how to gather the most money in the shortest time has always been something he was planning.

As an actor, his main source of income is undoubtedly pay and endorsement. When possible, he must strive for the highest pay.

Matthew and Helen Hermann both have the same view. Just like Will Smith, from the perspective of long-term gains, they would rather give up some opportunities than reduce their value, especially voluntarily withdrawing from the 20 million club.

Of course, he would pay appropriate attention to Will Smith.

Due to the particularity of the profession, the process of celebrities climbing from the bottom to the top is mostly difficult, and hatred and revenge are more serious than ordinary people.

In addition to $20 million, there are certainly other terms in the contract. For example, the right to suggest the name producer and supporting actress are negotiated in advance, and other things like Bella Anderson and Brown Williams paid the salary during the filming period by the crew, priority signature of the crew, and powder room requirements are all essential.

Almost all of his terms on the crew of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" were transplanted to the crew of "I Am Legend", and an agent of the agency team also won him a brand new clause. During the filming period, Matthew was in business or private affairs. If he left Los Angeles, the crew would provide him with first-class round-trip air tickets and 6 first-class round-trip air tickets for his staff and companions.

The contract has hundreds of messy terms, but more of them are work, safety, insurance and privacy terms. Among Hollywood's first-tier celebrities, the requirements are relatively ordinary.

This is also because compared to most Hollywood stars, Matthew has quite few quirks.

In the 1990s, the popular film market not only made celebrities dare to offer prices, but also developed many incredible problems.

For example, Jennifer Lopez, although she has filmed very few videos, the bad habits left are well known. When she is shooting movies or doing promotional activities, she does not take a Mercedes-Benz when she goes out. The reason is very simple: sitting on a car with other brands will cause back pain.

These problems often form a comparison effect among celebrities.

The Hollywood circle is so big that it will spread quickly when there is a turmoil. Celebrities can always learn that someone is treated like a king and queen when they participate in a certain film.

Therefore, from the level of residence during filming, the luxury of pick-up and drop-off vehicles and makeup and rest cars, the number of followers to pet treatment and flowers and toilet paper, all have become projects for celebrities to compare with each other. For example, the dressing room must be 3, the number one belongs to themselves, the number two belongs to their fitness equipment, and the number three belongs to their followers.

In addition to personal makeup artists and hair stylists, the most outrageous ones are shopping buyers who are responsible for spending money on themselves, and their daily salary is always as high as thousands of dollars.

Compared to these people, Matthew is definitely a very conscientious first-line star.

After officially signing a contract with the crew and getting the right to recommend the supporting actress, Matthew then found time to call Alexandra Dadario, who was far away in New York.

"Hi, Anna."

Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the huge living room, Matthew was condescending, looking down at Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, and said to his cell phone, "It's me, Matthew."

"Hello, Matthew." Alexandra Dadario's voice came over, "Is there anything wrong?"

Matthew smiled and said, "I remember the last time I had lunch together in Manhattan, you said you wanted to continue to develop in Hollywood, so that I could pay attention to the opportunities that suit you, right?"

Alexandra Dadario on the other side of the phone said, "Yes!" Then she asked, "Is there a chance that suits me?"

"Well, there's one." Matthew said with one hand and holding the phone, "I just signed an actor contract with the crew "I'm a Legend" which invested $150 million in Warner Bros. There's a supporting actress in this project, and I think you're very suitable."

"Really?" Alexandra Dadario's voice was filled with surprise. "I can participate in a project like this."

Matthew immediately replied, "I came back from New York to chat with Helen Herman. Amanda is also in Los Angeles. She also talked with Helen Herman. Helen should call you soon."

Alexandra Dadario's voice was significantly higher, "Great!"

"Don't be too happy too early, Anna," Matthew said, "If you want to get this role, you have to audition, and there is a black actor who is a competitor. For now, you only have a 50% chance of winning."

"This is already very good." Alexandra Dadario has participated in the shooting of two films before, and has some knowledge of the basic situation. He said, "Without your recommendation, I won't even have an audition opportunity."

She then said, "Thank you, Matthew."

"You're welcome." Matthew said with a smile, "We are friends, Anna."

The two chatted for a few more times, and Matthew hung up the phone and said about recommending Alexandra Dadario. He had talked to Helen Herman before. This was not a big deal. Helen Herman agreed happily.
