On Monday morning, a luxury sports car came to the door of Project B Film Company with a huge roar. Brad Pitt parked the car, took the newspaper he bought on the road, got out of the car and entered the company, nodded slightly to several employees who took the initiative to greet him, and walked into the office. His assistant immediately gave him a cup of steaming coffee.

He picked up the coffee and took a sip. The temperature was just right. Brad Pitt first looked at the documents on his desk and picked them up and read them. The Wachowski brothers' "Cloud Map" project is in preparation for the preliminary preparations and requires a second fund. Plan B should inject $40 million into the account of the third-party guarantee company as soon as possible.

After looking carefully, he saw that the audit accountant had signed the signature. He picked up the signing pen and signed the name on it. Then he asked the assistant to send the documents to the finance department and complete the transfer as quickly as possible.

If the funds are invested again, Plan B has invested $70 million in the "Cloud Map" project, and the remaining $30 million is also ready.

But he didn't feel the difficulty. Most of the money came from financing and pre-sales, and it was only $40 million that was invested by Plan B.

For someone like him who has a net worth of hundreds of millions, it is still affordable.

However, it would be a bit difficult to do another big project at the same time.

Brad Pitt couldn't help but frown when he thought of Andrew Stanton's "Alien Battlefield". He had had formal contact with Andrew Stanton two days ago. Andrew Stanton's biggest difficulty at present is that Disney's financial support is insufficient. Walt Disney has just acquired Pixar Studios, and the entire group is in short supply of funds. Disney Pictures' number one key project is an absolutely guaranteed sequel like "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", which can only provide Andrew Stanton with tens of millions of dollars in funds...

Andrew Stanton is interested in Matthew Horner as the leading actor, and his biggest consideration is to rely on Matthew Horner's appeal to raise funds.

"Matthew Horner is now a box office guarantee!" He couldn't help but remember what Andrew Stanton said at the time, "As long as he can be the starring actor, the financing of more than 200 million US dollars is probably not a problem."

He had already heard that Matthew Horner's Studio 13 and David Ellison's Sky Dance Films all had the intention to invest in the project.

Brad Pittla opened the drawer on the left side of his desk, which contained the script and project plan for "Alien Battlefield". Since Andrew Stanton was willing to give him the script and plan, it means that he might not only want to rely on Matthew Horner...

Who would tie themselves to a tree for people like Hollywood?

Just say that Matthew Horner has collaborated with Warner Bros. in three projects: "The Three Hundred Warriors", "I Am Legend" and "Superman Hancock". Warner Bros. intends to continue to release two new projects he is preparing, but Walt Disney offers more favorable conditions. Didn't he throw away Warner Bros. and throw himself into Disney's arms without looking back?

Business cooperation is always a priority for interests.

Brad Pitt tapped the table gently, closed the drawer, and remembered the newspapers he bought on the road. In fact, some of the things that happened in the movie market last weekend have a direct relationship with whether to invest in "Alien Battlefield" in the future.

When he flipped through the entertainment page of the newspaper, he saw related reports.

"During the summer vacation, everyone thought that this year would be recorded in history because the total box office broke the record. As a result, the autumn series where the major ambitions sank in sequence and the holiday series where the popularity of the film market dropped faster than the temperature was shocking Hollywood to say this again, especially the nightmare premiere of "Golden Compass" was simply chilling... Now the last hope is placed on "I Am Legend" released this week. Everyone is looking forward to the box office emperor Matthew Horner who can turn the tide."

Brad Pitt couldn't help but frown slightly. Who said that Hollywood's hopes are placed on Matthew Horner? His plan B is not available!

It's not right, the development of Plan B seems to be following Matthew Horner's success...

He no longer thought about it and went to read the newspaper in his hand.

"Who says reality is not like a movie? Although fate leads to an unpredictable future, the dramatic reversal is now being staged in real Hollywood! Yes, the brilliant premiere of "I Am a Legend" starring Matthew Horner swept away the haze, which not only made the gloomy Hollywood look radiant, but also made people exclaim: Matthew Horner, it is indeed a legend!"

Brad Pitt snorted disdainfully and continued to look down.

"$115.8 million! This result exceeded everyone's expectations! "I Am Legend"'s heart-boosting agent is like a long-term drought, which has inspired Hollywood again. Matthew Horner once again consolidated his position as the new generation of box office kings, and this time it was consolidated so nakedly and thoroughly - look, there are no other stars in this single-person show, no famous directors, no hot adaptations, only him, are you going to tell me that the zombies attracting the box office?"

When such a film was first launched, who would have thought that it would have a first-week box office of more than $100 million? Brad Pitt was in the middle of thinking, but his eyes were still looking down.

"There are more than 4,200 theaters, and the single-player score of 27,000+ USD is also extremely outstanding; the premiere of 115.8 million USD is not only second only to "Spider-Man 3" this year, but also ranked fourth in "Shrek 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", but also the highest premiere of North American films in December in history, even surpassing the three "Lord of the Rings"!"

"Although "Alien vs. Predator 2" will come in full force next week, but Matthew Horner is escorted by this film, so it is boldly predicted that "I Am a Legend" will receive at least $350 million in North America, adding more excitement to Matthew's resume."

350 million US dollars... A helpless smile appeared on Brad Pitt's lips. The movies he starred in in the past were extremely far from the highest box office in North America. At that time, he had fantasized about 400 million North America and 1 billion worldwide, but was shattered by reality.

In the past two years, which movie has Matthew Horner chosen? Which movie is not North America’s 300 million yuan and more than 500 million yuan?

And the videos that face him are often crushed...

This weekend is no exception. Affected by the box office explosion of "I Am Legend", the family-run "Alvin and the Chipmunk" that opened on the same weekend was only $32 million in the first week. "Golden Compass" fell below $5 million in the third weekend, and "Magic Legend" also dropped to $6 million. That is, those Oscar-winning art films screened in art theaters were not significantly affected due to the large genre differences.

Put down the newspaper, Brad Pitt picked up the cold coffee and drank it in one sip.

I have found someone to know before that the project "I Am Legend" was not particularly popular at the beginning of its establishment. Warner Bros. also hesitated. It was not until Matthew Horner chose this video that he really decided to invest. It turned out that their investment would definitely receive huge returns.

Matthew Horner's vision of choosing options...

The box office figure of $115.8 million is here, and Brad Pitt cannot ignore it.

He sat in the chair of the boss with a high back, considering many factors such as funds, production, starring, etc. He thought that he still had a huge amount of working capital, and other funds could be financed to solve some of them. If it really doesn't work, he could also get a mortgage loan, etc.

Brad Pitt called, "You go to the Pixar Studios headquarters in Emoryville and meet Andrew Stanton in person. I need to meet him again as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, he suddenly took out the script from the drawer and looked through it for a while. Seeing the Princess of Mars in it, he couldn't help but think of Natalie Portman, picked up the phone again and dialed her number.

"Hi, Nat, it's me, Brad. Do you have time today? How about a B plan? I have something to talk to you, just Andrew Stanton's "Princess Mars". I wonder if you are interested in the role of Princess Mars? Well, I'll wait for you in the office."

After putting down the phone, Brad Pitt's thoughts became clearer and he must not be ruthless when it's time to take action!

The outstanding first-week box office results of "I Am Legend" have made many people excited. David Ellison has greater expectations for his cooperation with Matthew.

"What did I say?"

In a mansion, David Ellison said to his sister Megan Ellison, "It's absolutely right to follow Matthew's choice. This is the safest way to invest in movies."

He raised his legs, "I can imagine now how high the future box office and commercial benefits of Fast & Furious 4 and Twilight will be!"

Megan Ellison surprisingly did not refute, but just looked at the Los Angeles Times in his hand. Even the top newspapers with relatively stable positions were admiring Matthew Horner.

"In the North American box office war last weekend, Warner Bros. created "I Am Legend" earned $115.8 million in its premiere box office. With this amazing box office result, this film led by Matthew Horner easily took the lead in the box office rankings."

"I Am Legend" was the highest-grossing film in December 2007, and it is also one of the best films in Hollywood actors' personal performance. Such a high box office made Warner Bros. and Matthew Horner laugh. In this film, although Matthew Horner is the last person on earth, he has quite a lot of supporters in real life. The box office of $115.8 million is the best proof..."
