Chapter 477 High-end endorsement

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

Since I chose to take advantage of the situation and hype, it is normal for movie fans to be criticized. On the first day, there were not many comments under Francis Lawrence's blog. After the news spread widely the next day, Matthew's massive movie fans directly blasted the screen of Francis Lawrence's blog.

At the same time, the official website of "Alien vs. Predator 2" was directly paralyzed after a large number of Matthew's fans flocked to it.

Although this caused a lot of trouble to Francis Lawrence and "Alien vs. Predator 2", it cannot be denied that they borrowed Matthew's popularity and attracted a certain amount of attention.

A popular movie star like Matthew is inevitable to be taken advantage of by others, and he has also been driven by others before.

It can be said that you have to pay it back when you come out.

He is in Hollywood. The global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Soul Coffin" has exceeded one billion US dollars, so it is difficult not to be taken advantage of.

In fact, Johnny Depp is taking advantage of the popularity even more. Winona Ryder, who has almost no news in recent years, ran out of nowhere and frequently appeared in front of media reporters, saying that he had always said how he had with Depp back then.

There are also several unparalleled actresses who say they have an illegitimate child with Johnny Depp.

A outdated actors can awaken memories of movie fans and media; those who have not yet become famous can increase their fame.

Just like Francis Lawrence and "Alien vs. Predator 2", criticism, criticism and abuse are not scary at all, but can bring popularity. What is really scary is that it is silent, and people are too lazy to take a look.

Perhaps because of the stimulation, Scarlett Johnson, who was no longer played by the first-line production after "Breaking Out of the Clones", also stood up and talked about his so-called short-term relationship with Matthew in a talk show.

"We haven't been dating for a long time, but it's as fierce as flames."

It was as if she and Matthew had not had a few night stands, but had actually dated.

Speaking of which, Matthew and Johnny Depp are not the most serious of being taken advantage of, but the most serious of the film "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Coffin" itself.

"…The plot direction of this film is more than 80% similar to the script I created eighteen years ago. At that time, I worked on the crew of "Adventures of Oliva" under Disney Pictures and circulated the script within Disney Pictures."

On NBC TV, a screenwriter who was about fifty years old and without any fame, accompanied by a lawyer, faced the camera of a reporter and shouted at the top of his lungs to condemn Disney Pictures and Jerry Brookheimer.

"I decided to formally sue Disney Pictures to stop their infringement..."

Seeing this, Matthew turned off the TV casually and shook his head. Behind every Hollywood movie that was sold at the box office, there are always a few authors and screenwriters who have been stolen by the crew of scripts or creativity.

This has almost become a fixed pattern in Hollywood.

It’s okay to say that the adapted works are there, after all, there are original works there, such as original movies, once the box office hits, this situation will basically occur.

I have encountered "Titanic", "Save Soldier Ryan", and I have also encountered "Gladiator"...

Now it's Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul-Gathering Coffin, which is really nothing surprising.

In this place in America, copyright litigation is sometimes very annoying.

The main reason is that the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Cave" is too high, so high that it makes too many people envious, jealous and hateful, but they cannot get a piece of the pie.

After most of August, the North American box office of this film has exceeded US$450 million, and the numbers are still accumulating.

In addition, after the global box office of the film exceeded one billion US dollars, it is also approaching the 1.1 billion US dollars mark, directly pointing to the second place in the global box office list of "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King".

Matthew didn't know how much the North American box office and global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Cauldron" was, but he felt that it shouldn't be that high.

If his feelings are accurate, it means that the chemical reaction he and Johnny Depp have played a huge role in the film.

Thinking of all these things, sitting on the sofa in the living room, Matthew didn't wait long, Helen Hermann and Amanda walked in slowly, and they handed their coats to the butler at the door.

"Helen! Amanda!" Matthew raised his hand and greeted, "Come here to sit."

After Helen Hermann and Amanda came over, they sat on two single sofas opposite.

Matthew asked, "Tea or coffee?"

"Coffee, thank you," said Helen Herman.

Amanda slightly tidied up her short blonde hair that was blown by the wind and said, "Let's go green tea, the kind you often drink, tastes very good."

Matthew set his hands on the butler, and the butler immediately asked someone to prepare.

"Do you like to drink?" Matthew asked Amanda, "Do you want me to buy a few more packs next time?"

Amanda didn't even be polite to Matthew and said, "Okay, buy more, I'll go back to New York to give it to someone."

After hearing what she said, Matthew wrote down this incident. The green tea he drank was purchased from New Chinatown, from the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Tea and food were the same. Each region, different groups and individuals had different tastes. Helen Hermann was not used to drinking green tea, just like he couldn't enjoy coffee.

The maid brought green tea and coffee at this time. Amanda tasted the tea and said, "It's this taste. It tastes better than black tea and is more fragrant than Indian tea."

Helen Herman put down his coffee cup and ignored Amanda. She originally wanted to come by herself. It happened that Amanda was going to see her new home in Beverly Hills today, so she simply came to Horner Manor together.

"I'll go to see the house with Amanda today." She glanced at Matthew, "I'll have a few things to tell you."

It was a weekend, and Matthew had a rare leisure time, but Helen Hermann came here and he could not keep it away.

Helen Hermann said with one hand on the sofa armrest, "My agent and Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley reached an agreement with Disney Pictures yesterday. Your dividends will increase to varying degrees on "The End of the World".

Speaking of money, Matthew immediately became energetic. There was no way. When he was living on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, his hard life made him afraid of poverty. I remember that at the most serious stage when he was owed to pay, he used a six-digit bank password to manage three-digit deposits, and the two digits were still behind the decimal point.

"Disney Pictures has made concessions in terms of box office sharing." Helen Hermann looked calm. "In terms of global box office sharing, Johnny Depp increased by 0.7%, you increased by 0.5%, and Kayla Knightley increased by 0.3%.

Before Matthew said anything, Amanda said first, "0.5 percent? If "The End of the World" has a billion dollars in global box office, wouldn't it be a share of five million dollars?"

She looked at Matthew with envy, "It feels so easy for you to make money now. If you sit at home and wait, Helen can use your name to grab a lot of money from outside."

"I made it too." Matthew shrugged, "You haven't seen me when I was so poor that I couldn't afford to eat."

"That's right." Amanda nodded.

Helen Herman interrupted the conversation between the two and continued, "Weinstein Pictures and Harvey Weinstein have sent you another role invitation. This time it is not Quentin Tarantino's black film, but a pure commercial film. The live-action version of "Teen Tinto Turtles" adapted from the anime, with the heroine played by Sarah Michelle Gellar."

When Matthew heard Weinstein Pictures and Harvey Weinstein, he immediately thought of the arrogant face. Without even thinking about it, he said directly, "You refuse for me. If there is an invitation from Weinstein Pictures or Harvey Weinstein in the future, you don't have to tell me anymore, and you will refuse them all."

Although he didn't want to offend this big guy in the circle, he was not interested in Oscars and there was no need to please Harvey Weinstein.

The superstar plan Helen Hermann made for Matthew, which did not include independent movies at all, immediately said, "I understand." She picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, and then said, "The third thing, "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" will soon enter an intensive publicity period. When the posters and promotional videos of the film are officially released, I will seek an endorsement of Armani's men's underwear for you."

"Cough..." Amanda coughed in a low voice, as if he had thought of some rumors about Matthew.

"Pants?" Matthew was a little confused.

After all, according to the standards of the past, who is normal people can endorse underwear without any trouble?

"Don't underestimate underwear. Big brands of underwear are also high-end endorsements." Helen Herman seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "Like George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Cruise and others have been or are endorsing luxury brands' men's underwear series. Don't underestimate this endorsement. You have many competitors, and each of them is quite strong, such as David Beckham, the superstar in the football world."

Speaking of this, she explained in detail, "The competition for luxury brands' ready-to-wear endorsements is very fierce, and there is no suitable vacancy for the time being. Armani's underwear endorsement is an opportunity. As long as the movie "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" responds well, we have a high chance of winning this endorsement. Then, based on this, we seek endorsement contracts for other Armani men's products."

Matthew understood that he wanted to use red pants to win the endorsement of underwear for luxury brands.

"Yes." He nodded and agreed, "You can go and do it in detail."

Helen Hermann said, "Didn't you say last time that you met Beckham himself at Tom Cruise's party, what kind of person is he?"

"Just a few greetings." Matthew shook his head slowly, "I don't know much."

Helen Hermann didn't ask any more questions, intending to go back to find someone to learn about the competitor, and continued, "The last thing, Rolex reminds you that the US Open is coming."
