Chapter 458 The highest level of Hollywood industry

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

Looking at the exit from the lounge leading to the red carpet, Taylor Swift's eyes were full of Matthew's shadow. Of course, this is not a fool. Although she is only seventeen years old, her thinking is much more mature than most girls. Scott Pochetta, the former CEO of DreamWorks, has also instilled many Hollywood rules of survival in her.

With such a Hollywood boss as a mentor and a very scheming girl herself, Taylor Swift's understanding of the entertainment industry is far beyond her age.

Scott Pocheta, the founder of Big Machine Music, came over and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

"I invited him." Taylor Swift raised his eyebrows and said, "He didn't agree, well... he should say he declined."

Scott Pocheta encouraged, "It's okay, I have confidence in you."

Taylor Swift was confident and said, "I will definitely succeed." She was still staring at the exit and murmured, "I just thought Matthew Horner was very good and very mature."

Scott Pocheta glanced at Taylor Swift. From his understanding, this girl was not old, but she was not the kind of person who would be foolish.

However, when he thought of Matthew Horner's identity as a top-tier star, he was instantly relieved.

Walking out of the gate of the Science and Technology Museum and stepping on the red carpet, Brown Williams was extremely energetic, and his vigilant eyes quickly swept through the group of fans on the left side of the red carpet, not missing any place where he could, and at the same time he was ready to go out for protection at any time.

Due to the panty theft incident that occurred before, he followed Matthew onto the red carpet, but instead walked on the red carpet, he fell slightly behind and walked by the side close to the fans.

Although fans entering here have undergone strict security checks at Disneyland, Brown Williams's career as a military and bodyguard told him that if someone really wants to do anything, he doesn't need guns or metal weapons at all.

Fortunately, Matthew also cared about his own safety, so he waved to the movie fans on the red carpet and quickly walked into the interview area.

In the interview area, there are only reporters from ABC TV and Disney Children's Channel. There is little chance of a problem, but Brown Williams did not relax his vigilance. Even if Matthew stood with Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, he still stood in a position where he could protect Matthew at any time.

Among the Pirates' Iron Triangle, Matthew is the tallest. He stood in the center, holding Kayla Knightley's shoulder with his left hand and hanging his right hand on Johnny Depp's back. The three of them showed their friendship with each other.

And unlike most Hollywood photos, they are not in line with each other, they are also good friends in private.

More and more people came to the group photo area, and many sponsors also came to take photos together. After the group photo, Matthew originally wanted to enter the theater with Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, but was stopped by Jerry Brookheimer.

Jerry Brookheimer obviously had something to say, and the two fell at the end of the crew.

Entering the Hollywood Theater, the people in front gradually walked away, and Jerry Brookheimer said, "After Matthew, Aziva Gossman's "I Am Legend", have you not taken any other videos?"

"Yes." Matthew also did not deny that such a thing could not be hidden from people like Jerry Brookheimer. "There are several intentions and no negotiation has been reached yet."

He had some guesses in his mind and left room for refusal for the next words.

Jerry Brookheimer didn't care about this and said directly, "You and I have been working together since Black Hawk Down, and it's been five years now, right?"

Matthew nodded slightly, "It's been almost five years." He felt alert in his heart. It was common in the circle to deceive people through friendship, but he said, "We worked together on "Black Hawk Down", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "National Treasure."

Jerry Brookheimer turned his head to look at him. Matthew was ahead and said sincerely, "Jerry, without your support, I would not be today. I have always been grateful, thank you."

When Jerry Brookheimer heard him thanking him for his advance, he felt a bad feeling, and said, "It has been almost two years since the National Treasure was released, and the audience has been looking forward to the second part. We should put the second part on the agenda."

Matthew smiled, "I think so too." He wanted to keep starring in "National Treasure", first satisfying his pay requirements, and then talking about other things, and then said, "As far as I know, Disney Pictures has temporarily shelved the sequel to "National Treasure" and will not start in the near future."

Why did Disney Pictures put aside the sequel to "National Treasure"? Jerry Brookheimer naturally knew the answer. Matthew and his agency asked for too high a salary.

Jerry Brookheimer thought for two seconds. Disney Pictures has many projects to operate, but his film companies are different. Sequels of big-selling movies like "National Treasure" are the safest way to make profits for Brookheimer Pictures.

"Matthew, I can push Disney Pictures back to the negotiating table and let them restart the project." Jerry Brookheimer still has this confidence, "but we have to make concessions to reach a cooperation."

Hearing this, Matthew stopped and waited for Jerry Brookheimer to stop, he said, "Jerry, I have personally made great concessions."

He shook his head slightly and said, "Disney Pictures' sequel pay is lacking sincerity."

After all, his differences with Disney Pictures have never been concepts or other aspects, but distribution of interests.

Disney Pictures wants to maximize its profits in sequels of big-selling movies with a high probability of success, and he also wants to maximize his own profits.

Since it is a business cooperation, the primary condition is of course to ensure profits.

Matthew didn't tell Jerry Brookheimerdo again that even if Disney Pictures wanted to return to the negotiating table and the pay offered did not meet his and Helen Herman's expectations, they would not negotiate with Disney Pictures again.

Jerry Brookheimer was somewhat disappointed to see Matthew enter the screening room first.

Before entering the screening room, Matthew looked back at Jerry Brookheimer who was following him. According to the standards across the Pacific, Jerry Brookheimer was kind to him and could be regarded as one of his mentors. However, by business rules, neither he nor Jerry Brookheimer owed anyone.

Matthew came to the first row of the theater and sat in his seat. Depp next to him came over and asked, "Don't Jerry Brookheimer want to divide us?"

"No." Matthew was Depp on the left and Kaira Knightley on the right. He didn't have to be too careful when speaking, and whispered, "He wanted me to take the initiative to lower the offer so that Disney Pictures can restart the sequel to "National Treasure"."

Kayla Knightley was also following Matthew and asked after hearing it, "You won't agree, right?"

Matthew pointed at himself, "Am I that stupid?"

Johnny Depp snorted and said, "Take the initiative to reduce the pay? Does he want to get more profits?"

"Jerry might have prepared some words, but I blocked them in advance." Matthew crossed his legs, "and then I rejected him, and it was Disney Pictures that should give in."

Kayla Knightley and Johnny Depp both agreed with Matthew's statement and nodded at the same time.

The big screen lights up, the film begins to be screened, and the three of them no longer talk. But Matthew's mind is not on the film, and he is still considering Jerry Brookheimer. In fact, in the past two years, Jerry Brookheimer has gradually shown signs of decline, and has produced several box office films one after another, and the halo of the gold medal producer is gradually fading.

According to Helen Hermann's analysis, the audience seems to be tired of Jerry Brookheimer's commercial films. If Jerry Brookheimer does not make any changes, the number of works that fail at the box office in the future will definitely increase.

This is reflected in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Soul Cauldron". The film held three previews a few weeks ago. Although Will Turner and Jack Sparrow's partners are still full of fun and attractive, the overall storyline of the film is not good and the preview reputation is not very ideal.

Of course, including him, most people are still optimistic about the box office of this film. After all, the predecessor was too successful, and "The Soul-Gathering Coffin" just had a poor reputation and was still far from a bad movie.

Matthew has watched a movie in the preview. Among the three main characters of Pirates, Elizabeth Swan's role has been further downplayed, almost becoming a double-protagonist movie of Jack Sparrow and Will Turner. Jack Sparrow is still responsible for playing tricks, while Will Turner is the force of force.

From the cannibal tribe to the group show battle between the islands fighting for David Jones' heart, his character can always beat others in force.

Unfortunately, the narrative of the film is not as good as the Curse of the Black Pearl. Like most commercial films produced by Jerry Brookheimer after the new century, the main selling points of "The Soul-Gathering Coffin" focus on Will Turner and Jack Sparrow's love and fight each other, the masculine and feminine combination, and the excellent special effects scenes.

As far as Matthew knows, the special effects production of "Soul Cave" definitely represents the highest special effects level of Hollywood industry in this era.

In fact, in his opinion, there is another big problem with the film, that is, the plot and characters' youth.

This is also helpless. He is just an actor and cannot interfere with the production of the film. It is normal for the film produced and distributed by Dibao Film to present such a style.
