The last Monday in May, the traditional Memorial Day in the United States, started in 1971. This day was officially confirmed as a holiday across the United States. Since the concept of the summer season was born in Hollywood, the Memorial Day holiday, which is directly linked to the weekend, has also become one of the best movie opening periods. Movies that are scheduled to premiere on this period every year are all seed players in the big production.

However, not everyone can enjoy this holiday.

Early Monday morning, the Wachowski brothers came to Plan B. As Brad Pitt had to temporarily deal with the last remaining work on Jennifer Aniston's withdrawal, the agreement was originally scheduled to be signed at nine o'clock, and was pushed back an hour later.

In a luxuriously decorated conference room, lawyers and notary staff finally reviewed the relevant contracts. The Wachowski brothers had nothing to do. Andy Wachowski simply took the newspaper from today on the newspaper stand and took it back and sat on a chair to look it up.

He quickly turned this Los Angeles Times into the entertainment version.

"Lana, do people succeed in whatever they do when they are lucky?" Andy Wachowski suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Lana Wachowski asked, "What's wrong?"

Andy Wachowsky flicked the newspaper in his hand, "Another movie starring Matthew Horner has sold well at the box office."

Lana Wachowski immediately asked, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3? The box office statistics for last weekend were released?"

"Yes." Andy Wachowski sighed, "I got $137.9 million in three days."

He shook his head and said, "The film starring Matthew Horner is going to add another box office hit."

"It's good." Lana Wachowski curled his lips and smiled, "We can continue to take advantage of the situation to hype."

Andy Wachowski nodded, "I agree."

Originally, "Cloud Map" was a project that even Warner Bros., but they used Matthew Horner to hype and became one of the most popular works in the circle. Many investors came to the door, including Brad Pitt and his Project B film company.

Since Matthew Horner has such influence, wouldn’t it be a waste not to use it?

Lana Wachowski's fingers wrapped around a long red hair and said complacently, "Compared with our minds, he can only be used."

There is no indispensable person in their project except for themselves, and it is not necessary for Matthew Horner. He took the initiative to find Matthew Horner, and saw that he had great value. Now he has taken advantage of Matthew Horner's value and has no need to pay any price, and has brought Brad Pitt a person who promised a $100 million investment. He is really a three-killing victory.

The door of the conference room opened at this time. The Wachowski brothers thought it was Brad Pitt who arrived. They immediately looked up and found that Natalie Portman had walked in.

"Hi, Lana. Hi Andy." Natalie Portman smiled and greeted the two, pulled away the chair and sat next to him, and asked, "Have you started yet?"

"No." Andy Wachowski shook his head and then said, "Peter has something to deal with for the time being, and he will have to wait a while."

Natalie Portman was a little worried, "There won't be an accident..."

Brad Pitt promised her a high salary for this project. If Brad Pitt regrets it, wouldn’t everything before be done in vain?

Lana Wachowski was very confident, "Don't worry."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room opened again, and Brad Pitt appeared with his lawyers and other relevant personnel.

Seeing Wachowski and Natalie Portman, Brad Pitt immediately came over and greeted him warmly. Wachowski and his brothers will be the guarantee for him to become a first-line star again.

Subsequently, under the witness of lawyers and notary staff, the two parties signed a series of formal contracts to start cooperation in the project "Cloud Map".

After the contract was signed, Brad Pitt, Wachowski and Natalie Portman immediately held a press conference to officially make the news public.

In the office of Angel Brokerage, Helen Hermann, he watched the relevant news footage played on the TV. Matthew took out the remote control and turned off the TV.

He turned to look at Helen Herman and breathed a sigh of relief, "I've finally signed the contract."

"Yes, it's finally what you want." Helen Hermann said deliberately, "When "Cloud Map" sells well at the box office and Brad Pitt becomes a popular star again, you will regret what you are doing today."

Matthew spread his hands, "Then I think I'm unlucky." He stretched, "This kind of thing is the same as investment, there must be risks. Who can guarantee 100% success?"

Helen Herman took off his glasses and gently rubbed his forehead, "I hope things will go as you expected."

Among the three people who planned the incident between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, in addition to Matthew, she and Ilena Poyal also agreed to make Brad Pitt a small person.

Matthew nodded, but said nothing. In the news just now, Brad Pitt officially signed a contract with the Wachowski brothers on behalf of Project B Film Company, and will invest $100 million to shoot and produce the project "Cloud Map", and announced that Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman will play the leading roles respectively.

"What a pity..." He was a little regretful, "The investment in this video is still a little less."

Helen Herman said, "It's a lot. You probably don't know yet. Jennifer Aniston completed the withdrawal of the project B film company last week, and all the plans B shares were transferred to Brad Pitt. Project B is already a veritable private company of Brad Pitt."

Matthew thought for a while and asked, “I remember Plan B has three founders?”

"There are three founders, in addition to Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, there is Brad Gray, the current CEO of Paramount Pictures." Helen Herman put on glasses and said lightly, "The box office of "Troy" did not meet expectations, and Brad Gray gradually withdrew from Plan B. Later, Viacom Group hired him as Paramount CEO. In order to get rid of the negative impact of related transactions, Brad Gray transferred all of his shares to Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston."

Matthew nodded, "Plan b is not a listed company, right?"

Helen Hermann's voice was still dull, "No. As far as I know, Brad Pitt had obtained Jennifer Aniston's shares and already had more than 90% of Plan B shares in his hands, and the rest of the shares were scattered in the hands of some Plan B managers."

She added, "This situation is normal. Many production companies under celebrities have basically concentrated their shares in the hands of one person."

"The production budget of the "Cloud Map" project is $100 million." Matthew frowned slightly and asked, "How does Plan B plan raise funds? Jennifer Aniston just withdrawn the funds. There is no such much fund on the book, right?"

Helen Herman shook his head gently, "I don't know yet. I guess Brad Pitt will solve the source of funds through personal investment and external financing. The specific proportion is still a secret for the time being, and we can't find out."

Matthew slowly tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers. Such an item was far from enough, but he could not find other items suitable for digging holes for a while.

"By the way." Helen Herman changed the subject, "I just received an invitation this morning."

Without waiting for Matthew to speak, she said directly, "Harvey Weinstein and Quentin Tarantino have sent you a joint invitation to invite you to play the leading role of a major project in Weinstein Pictures."

"Reject." Matthew was too lazy to ask about any project. Anyway, it wasn't rejected once or twice. "I have no interest in working with Weinstein Pictures."

Helen Hermann did not persuade him, "I will call and refuse him."

How much investment can Weinstein Pictures have in its so-called big project? It is only $60 to 70 million, which is not in line with Matthew's position at all.

Matthew didn't think much about it. In his impression, Harvey Weinstein operated and produced some independent art films for the awards season or cult films directed by Quentin Tarantino. Needless to say, the award-winning art films tailored for the Oscars, he had no interest.

As for Quentin Tarantino's movies, the style is really not suitable. He is taking the route of mainstream commercial films. It is not beneficial for him to not want to mix them in cult films.

Not to mention anything else, can Weinstein Pictures pay him a high pay? Do you want him to take the initiative to reduce his value for the fat man Harvey Weinstein?

It's not a few years ago now.

Helen Hermann reminded again, "Aziva Gossman has called you, right?"

Matthew nodded, "I've beaten it. "The Man of the People" started filming on July 10, I remember."

The project is produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Aziva Gossman is the producer, and young director Peter Borg is the director on the spot. He and Charlize Theron are the leading actors and heroines respectively.

In addition, the film will be released in North America on the Independence Day weekend next summer.

"Charlize Theron's agent called me." Helen Herman said calmly, "Ask you if you can rekindle your relationship with Charlize Theron?"

"Who does this mean?" Matthew asked.

Helen Herman replied, "Charlize Theron shouldn't know yet, it's her agent who wants to hype it."

"Forget it." Matthew refused directly.

His cell phone rang at this time, a somewhat unfamiliar number, but after it was Andrew Stanton.
