Chapter 508 The first time

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

On Saturday morning, I went to the garden woods for a walk. After I came back, I washed and changed my clothes. Matthew walked into the restaurant. He had just sat down to enjoy breakfast. There were dense footsteps outside. Before the butler came in to report, David Ellison, whose hair was like a bird's nest, hurriedly broke into the restaurant.

"Matthew! Matthew!" He shouted as he walked, his voice obviously a little excited, as if he had encountered something excited and could not tell others or vent, "I will tell you a good news! a good news!"

David Ellison entered the restaurant and saw Matthew eating breakfast slowly. He immediately walked across from him, held the dining table with both hands, and said anxiously, "Can you still have breakfast?"

Matthew put down his knife and fork and looked up at David Ellison. The super rich second generation had a terrible hair, his mouth trembled slightly, his eyes were covered with bloodshots, and his face was covered with red tide. The shirt under the casual suit seemed a little wrong...

"David..." Matthew pointed and said, "Your hairpin is in the opposite direction."

"What?" David Ellison looked down, but didn't care. "Stop worrying about this..."

Seeing that this guy was so excited that he was holding his hands on the dining table, it seemed difficult, Matthew pointed to the chair opposite the dining table and said, "Let's sit down and say, okay, David?"

"Okay! OK!" David Ellison nodded quickly, pulled open the chair and sat opposite Matthew.

Matthew looked at him and guessed roughly why David Ellison ran over early in the morning, but he didn't ask, instead, he said, "Have you had breakfast? Do you want to try my Chinese breakfast?"

"Wait!" David Ellison raised his hand to stop Matthew, "Can you stop talking? Can you listen to me?"

Regardless of whether Matthew agreed or not, he said to himself, "I have been in the early hours of last night until now, just want to find someone to talk to you. I originally wanted to call you in the middle of the night..."

"You can call your sister," Matthew interrupted.

David Ellison had no choice but to spread his hands, "She's turned off!" he continued, "Matthew, shut up first! Listen to me."

Matthew nodded slightly, "Tell me."

"Did you not see the box office statistics yet?" David Ellison asked when he saw Matthew's calm appearance.

Matthew shook his head, "I've seen it."

David Ellison asked with excited eyes widened and excitedly, "Don't you feel it?"

"How do you feel?" Matthew picked up the soy milk, took a sip, and pointed at David Ellison, "Like you?"

“$38.5 million!”

Speaking of this number, David Ellison excitedly shot the dining table several times in a row, "Our movie sold $38.5 million on the first day!"

Matthew put down the cup containing soy milk, "I know."

"Do you know what this means?" David Ellison suddenly raised his voice, stretched out a slightly trembling finger, pointed at Matthew and said, "This breaks the single-day box office record of North American r-rated films ever!"

Matthew still looked calm, "I know."

David Ellison's voice was raised again, "Do you know this means that our movie may have exceeded 100 million in the first weekend of North America?"

Matthew said calmly, "I know."

"You...you..." David Ellison saw Matthew's dull appearance and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Calm down, David." Matthew made a downward gesture.

With an excited mood, David Ellison asked in succession after saying so much, and after saying so much, he calmed down a little, asking, "Aren't you nervous and excited?"

Matthew shrugged slightly, "At the beginning, I was like you. After I experienced more of this kind of thing, I faced it calmly."

This reminded David Ellison, and he sighed and said, "Why did I forget that you have succeeded too many times, and this is the first time I...

Matthew looked at David Ellison again. The almost morbid excitement on his face just now disappeared a lot, and asked, "Is the pressure less?"

"It's relaxed, it's really relaxed." David Ellison breathed a sigh of relief. "You don't know how much pressure I have been in the past two years."

Matthew really didn't know, but he could think of some that the money of the Ellison family was not blown by the strong wind. Before David Ellison came to Hollywood to invest, no one had ever heard of any successful investment cases. He had so much money in his hand and the flow of money was thrown into movie projects. If David Ellison had no pressure, he would not be a human.

If he remembers correctly, David Ellison is several years younger than him.

David Ellison sat in his chair and said, "From the entertainment industry to the media industry and the entire business industry, how many people are waiting to see my jokes? They are looking forward to my failure, and then pointing at me and saying, "Look, that's Larry Ellison's incompetent son."

Matthew didn't speak, and being a listener was the best choice. In fact, in some ways, David Ellison's situation was somewhat similar to Sophia Coppola.

"I am Larry Ellison's son!" David Ellison continued, "I deserve to succeed; if I fail, I lose the entire Ellison's face."

He raised his hand and wiped his head hard, "And my father, he had never said that, but he didn't think I was coming to Hollywood in his heart, and was waiting for my head to be bleeding before going back."

"Thank you, Matthew." David Ellison looked up at Matthew and said sincerely, "Thank you for bringing me into this project."

Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed, "I disappointed everyone, and disappointed those who were waiting to see my jokes!"

The pressure was vented with the laughter.

Matthew ignored him. David Ellison was like a carefree super rich second generation, facing much more pressure and critical gaze than ordinary people.

To use his words to Sofia Coppola, who made him an Ellison?

The laughter stopped, David Ellison calmed down and looked at Matthew, "I'm hungry, and I haven't eaten anything from last night until now."

Matthew called the housekeeper in and asked her to inform the kitchen to prepare breakfast for David Ellison.

David Ellison gradually returned to normal, looked down at the reversed shirt and said, "Do I have no image?"

Matthew nodded seriously and said, "Don't forget, who are you sitting opposite."

"You..." David Ellison pointed at Matthew, couldn't help laughing, and said, "You guy."

He shook his head, "I can't compare with you in this."

"It's like I don't compare anyone with you." Matthew also laughed, "David, don't compare anyone with me, you will hurt your self-esteem."

David Ellison said deliberately, "You are too confident."

Breakfast was delivered at this time, Matthew changed the topic and said, "Try it, see if it suits your taste."

Maybe he was really hungry, David Ellison didn't answer and started eating.

After a while, he said again, "I suddenly remembered something. I didn't invest in "I am a Legend". It's so stupid!"

Matthew didn't respond, but remembered what he planned at the premiere of "The Flag of the Fathers".

"David..." he said slowly, "Do you want to continue working with me?"

Picking up the napkin and rubbing his mouth, David Ellison quickly considered Matthew's words and said, "Who is interested in investing in movies now doesn't want to work with you?"

Matthew took advantage of this time to sort out his mind and said, "I have a plan that may require a lot of funds and also needs the support of a capable friend like you."

David Ellison was not as impulsive as he had just expressed in his words, “Tell me and see.”

"Do you know Universal's "Fast and Furious" series?" Matthew saw David Ellison nodding and said, "A few years ago, I got a small role in the first movie, and later I beat the male lead Van Diesel..."

David Ellison interjected, "You beat that bald man?"

Matthew shrugged and continued, "So, I was fired by the crew. This film was made three, and the last one, "Tokyo Drift", had a very poor box office and reputation, and Universal Pictures cut the series."

David Ellison understood what Matthew meant, "Are you interested in this series?"

"I think there is a lot of market for movies that are mixed with action, racing and friendship," Matthew said.

If this is said from someone else's mouth, David Ellison will only sneer at it. Is racing exciting to have planes?

But it was Matthew who said this, a person who has been successful in succession and has been recognized as a very visionary film selection from inside to outside the circle.

Matthew only said that it is because "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" must have been a great success. As the only investor, David Ellison cannot be unaffected.

David Ellison thought for a while and asked, "Matthew, will you be in the show?"

"I want to be the producer of this series." Matthew knew the key to the problem, "I can directly participate in this series if necessary."

"What do you want to do?" David Ellison had already calculated, but this involved large investments and was not allowed to come at will. "Are there any specific plans?"

"The specific plan is not yet, it's just a general idea. I don't know much about business." Matthew seemed very sincere. "David, I need the support of a professional business person like you."

He didn't go around the circle and said, "My idea is that we will contact Universal Pictures later and try to see if we can buy the copyright of this series from Universal Pictures and then turn it into our series."

David Ellison suddenly said, "Matthew, you are not suitable for coming forward. Once you come forward, Universal Pictures will definitely realize that this series will have something to do in the future and will never sell it to us."

He sighed, "You...you have a big influence now."

Matthew smiled and said, "So, I'm asking you to cooperate."
