In the conference room of Sky Dance Films, Matthew, David Ellison, Helen Hermann, Bald Ceo and Sky Dance two department directors gathered to discuss matters related to the latest copyrights obtained.

"Tell everyone good news." David Ellison was full of energy at the moment, sitting at the front of the conference table, with a loud voice. "Just yesterday, we successfully obtained the copyright of the sequel to the "Fast and Furious" series from Universal Pictures. This is a brand new development opportunity for Sky Dance Pictures. Our next stage of work will focus on this series."

After saying that, he looked at the people in the conference room, as if he wanted to get a warm response.

The conference room was very quiet, with only the bald ceo writing in the notebook with a fountain pen. Everyone, including Matthew, seemed very clear because they all understood one truth.

Helen Hermann said it directly, "Getting copyright is just the beginning."

Matthew nodded and continued, "We still have a long way to go before we can resurrect this series."

"It's okay." David Ellison looked very confident and looked at Matthew and said, "Don't we have you?"

Matthew spread his hands and said, "I'm not good at making movies."

This is not humility. If he is allowed to play the male lead in action, there is absolutely no problem. It is also his specialty. If he is asked to make a movie, he will be 100% messed up.

He said very seriously, "David, first of all, you need to find a qualified producer. I and you... are not good at it."

David Ellison wasn't the young boy who just entered Hollywood, nodded, "I understand."

Helen Herman interrupted, "I recommend Jack."

Matthew and David Ellison looked at each other and both understood that the person Helen Herman recommended was Jack, the producer of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".

"Yes." David Ellison glanced at Matthew first and agreed.

After all, there have been successful cooperation, and Jack Bearded has rich experience and good abilities.

"The rest is too early to say, there is only one thing," said Bald Ceo suddenly. "Matthew, David. What kind of movie do you want the sequel to "Fast and Furious" to be made."

He added, “Universal Pictures’ trilogy is just a medium-sized production and its influence is limited to one range.”

David Ellison looked at Matthew, "You must have considered it?"

"If I said there was no..." Matthew joked on purpose, "David, would you kill me?"

He then turned to the topic, "I can only talk about the topic and concept. We need to find professionals to do it in detail."

This is his first time actually producing a movie. It is absolutely fake to say that he is full of confidence. The "Fast and Furious" series he has watched can only remember the general main plot. With his experience and insights in Hollywood, he can analyze some of the factors of success from it.

As for the details, I had forgotten them for a long time, or I had never paid attention to them when I downloaded pirated versions to watch movies.

Everyone in the conference room looked at Matthew, and everyone here knew that Sky Dance Films purchased the copyright of the sequel to "Fast and Furious", and all their confidence came from the famous Hollywood star.

Matthew also put on a rare serious attitude and said, "First of all, we need to determine the scale of the production." He glanced at David Ellison, "I have a consensus on this. The sequel to "Fast and Furious" must be a first-line commercial production."

David Ellison nodded and agreed, "This is my opinion."

"Our goal is to make a series," Matthew continued. "This series is not just a trilogy. As long as there is enough profit margin, we will continue to launch new sequels, not just staying on a series of movies, but building a world, a movie world that belongs to "Fast and Furious".

Not to mention others, even Helen Herman looked at Matthew in surprise. They could feel that Matthew attaches great importance to this series, or is very ambitious.

Matthew smiled and said, "You all know that sequel movies are the most profitable movie genre in Hollywood."

This is well known to everyone, and Matthew doesn't need to say much, "So, when we are making the fourth part of the series, we have to reserve a certain amount of creative space for the subsequent sequels. We won't talk about it far away, but the future trilogy is at least a complete and smooth story that can be told."

David Ellison added, “Unlike other movies always sell the first big and hastily followed the sequel, Matthew and I mean to plan for the first time.”

A director of the film department interjected, "What if... what if the first one is not responding well."

"As long as there is no huge loss," David Ellison was quite determined, "the sequel will go as usual. I believe in Matthew's appeal."

The two directors looked at Matthew unconsciously and their confidence increased instantly. Can the plot of the future movie be worse than "Mr. Smith" and "Dawn of the Living Dead"? Matthew can even bear the box office of such a bad movie. As long as the sequel to "Fast and Furious" passes, the box office will definitely not be a problem.

Matthew ignored the two hot eyes, "Preliminary planning is very important. In this regard, we need an excellent screenwriter team to carefully create the script. In addition, the type of film will be a hot and fierce racing action film. Each movie will be left to vehicles and action scenes, that is, fighting, gunfighting, chasing, collision, dodging, drifting, and racing. The length of filming cannot be less than one-third. The shooting and production are all based on the highest standards of the Hollywood film industry!"

Helen Hermann understood that Matthew was preparing to enter the production industry. Basically all superstars would enter the production industry. Even after the career of the actor declined, he would be a producer with extremely powerful voices.

Tom Hanks can be said to be a typical example in this regard.

"But only speed and action can't support such a movie." Matthew said at this time, "A good story and a character with a distinct personality is a must. I have contacted Paul Walker and Jordanna Brewster, and they are both willing to return."

He picked up the water cup in front of him and took a sip, continuing, "My idea is to form a character team, take the male protagonist as the core, take team battles, and at the same time, transmit friendship and family affection in the film, so that the main characters can form a concept of 'we are family'."

Listening to Matthew's words, the bald ceo kept nodding while recording, and a thought was also circling in his mind. No wonder the film starring Matthew was able to sell well. From what he said, you can see that Matthew's understanding of commercial films and the market is really profound.

Promote friendship and family affection, play the family card, and add stars and intense action scenes, it is full of highlights when you think about it.

He knew very well that "speed" alone was not enough to support a film. "Fast and Furious" had to be outstanding, and he had to put a lot of effort into elements other than the action. The film was a little higher than the same type of works to achieve the best entertainment effect.

"Speed ​​represents the charm of the vehicle, which can provide visual support for the film, but cannot become the soul that supports the story." Matthew almost dug out everything that can be summarized from the series before. "Global has filmed three films, but has not really figured out why the first one was successful and why the third one failed? We must have a good story, and the audience must feel the unique personality charm from the protagonist."

In the previous transaction with Universal Pictures, since the copyright of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" was in the hands of Sky Dance Pictures, 10 million of the $15 million paid to Universal Pictures was made by him, and half of the production funds for the subsequent film also needed to be raised. Such a large investment, if it fails, although it will not hurt him, it will also hurt.

Even if it is not for Vin Diesel, or for this contract, he will succeed.

Matthew is definitely going to star in this series, and at the end of this conference, he also focused on his requirements for the role he wants to play.

"Walking between the law and the underground order, the soft and hard are unpredictable, but there is an extremely soft part in his heart. He cherishes family affection and friendship very much, and has always played the role of a generous elder brother in front of his brothers. He fought with his life many times to protect his relatives and friends, representing the values ​​of civilian heroes in American movies."

"He was almost uninterested in the temptations that could corrupt will by money, drugs, and women. He only pursues the stimulation of racing and crime. In order to obtain a moral balance, he should design a value stance that can be recognized by the audience."

Finally, Matthew said, "We should introduce new characters appropriately in the sequel, and the proportion of the characters should be matched. The acting skills are not important. The male actors should have characteristics and the actresses should be sexy and beautiful enough."

Bald Ceo once again wrote Matthew's words in his notebook, which are all necessary to recruit the screenwriter team next time.

He thought that what Matthew said was very reasonable. They are all elements of the success of a commercial film. It is not easy for someone to explain these clearly, but it is even more difficult to do it.

Matthew also knew that there were difficulties in doing so. The investment risk this time was actually very high, which was much more risky than choosing roles and jobs simply based on the videos in his memory.

But high risks also bring high returns.

In the past, he did not have enough capital, and he seemed to have accumulated a lot of wealth, but it was not enough for movie investment.

It's different now. On the one hand, after years of hard work, he has earned a lot of money through pay, dividends and endorsements; on the other hand, Apple has already promoted the upcoming convening of a new creator conference and released the Kidney Machine Generation at the conference.

Apple stocks began to rise explosively.

These are the capitals for Matthew to take risks, and even if it fails, it will not be an uncontrollable disaster.
Chapter completed!
