The sound of leather shoes falling to the ground from afar, and Matthew also noticed someone coming out of the opposite studio door. He just glanced casually and saw an ordinary girl with childish face. He then stopped his eyes and continued to talk to Charlize Theron about the crew shooting.

"It really doesn't work..." Matthew gave Charlize Theron a bad idea, "just resort to legal means."

Charlize Theron shook his head, "More than half of the film has been filmed. At this time, the exit program will be launched, and all the previous efforts will be in vain."

Matthew spread his hands, "Then put it aside first and take on other jobs..."

Before he could finish his words, he keenly noticed something seemed to have hit him, reached out to wrap his hand around Charlize Theron and hid to the side, and blocked her behind.

"Oh……"

The scream sounded at this time. The girl who had a childish face who had walked out of the studio had some idea of ​​what happened, suddenly fell down and smashed her towards the position where Matthew had just stood.

Fortunately, Matthew practiced free fighting all year round and his reaction was far faster than ordinary people. Before the girl hit him, he covered Charlize Theron and avoided it together.

He avoided it, but the girl fell firmly on the concrete floor at the door of the studio.

"ah"

Amid the screams, the girl with childishness on her face flew directly, and even a thud sound came from the sound.

Seeing the girl falling to the ground hard, Matthew's mouth subconsciously trembled. It hurts so much when he heard the movement.

The girl hummed twice, raised her childish face and looked at Matthew and Charlize Theron. This was completely different from what she designed.

This fall should have fallen on the big star, and then he will catch himself...

Who would have thought that guy would dodge it directly!

How could he avoid it? How could he react so quickly? It was so fast that her fake fall turned into a real fall.

After rubbing his knees that were so painful that he fell, the girl pushed her to the ground and sat up.

Charlize Theron looked over Matthew, and then saw the girl, frowned slightly, but asked, "Jenny, are you okay?"

Matthew didn't say anything. This time, unlike just taking a casual glance. He saw the girl's face that seemed a little ordinary. This face was a little familiar to him. If he matured a little, sprinkle some milk on it...

Charlize Theron walked around Matthew and reached out to pull the girl up from the ground.

"Sorry..." the girl knocked off the dust from her clothes and said with a slightly shy smile, "I just sprained my ankle."

"It's okay." Charlize Theron shook his head casually.

But Matthew didn't think it was an accident. After all, the picture of the milk-spreading face left a deep impression on him. He just felt that this girl was really not an ordinary person.

"That..." the girl suddenly turned to Matthew and said, "I'm sorry, I almost bumped into you, I'm very sorry."

"It's okay." Matthew said casually.

He remembered the Hunger Games and asked Charlize Theron, "Will you introduce it?"

"This is Jennifer Lawrence, my partner on the crew." Charlize Theron made a brief introduction, "Jenny, this is my friend Matthew."

James Lawrence quickly stretched out his right hand, "Hello, Matthew."

Matthew held it gently in her hand, "Hello, Miss Lawrence."

"Call me Jenny," Jennifer Lawrence said politely, "I like your movies very much. Strictly speaking, I am also your movie fan. I watched "I Am Legend" in the theater last year."

"Thank you for your support." Matthew was very polite.

Jennifer Lawrence said a few more words to Matthew and Charlize Theron, and took the initiative to say goodbye and leave with a wink.

"This girl has a good personality." Charlize Theron looked at the direction where Jennifer Lawrence left, "it's very likable in the crew."

But Matthew said, "Who was the last time I met a similar girl? Oh... by the way, Jessica Alba."

"Hmm?" Charles Theron was puzzled.

Matthew didn't say it clearly, but just said casually, "This girl is not simple."

There was a very flat concrete floor at the entrance of the studio. He just saw that Jennifer Lawrence was wearing a pair of flat shoes. Can an adult suddenly fall when he walked in such a place?

When he walked towards the studio with Charlize Theron, he thought of the situation in Hollywood in the past two years. Now the actresses in the 1970s have gone out of date, the post-80s have just taken the forefront, and the post-90s are ready to seize power.

There is a saying that is right: Be famous as soon as possible, especially for actresses.

In the following period, Matthew fell into a busy work. On the one hand, he had to take appropriate attention to the shooting of the two films "Twilight" and "Fast and Furious 4", and on the other hand, he had to communicate with Helen Hermann about the latest work negotiations.

Also, Marvel is preparing to plan "Iron Man 2", and he wants to follow up in time to avoid being kicked out unknowingly.

Although Hollywood companies are quite contractual in dealing with peers in the circle, there may be some small moves behind the scenes.

Of course, it is also essential to cooperate with Warner Bros. to promote "Superman Hancock".

In early June, one month after "Iron Man" was released, the film's North American box office successfully exceeded the $100 million mark, and the global box office exceeded $500 million, and is climbing towards higher box office numbers.

This is undoubtedly very good news for Matthew.

At the same time, another good news came from Helen Herman. After nearly two months of tug-of-warrant negotiations, she officially reached an agreement on behalf of Matthew and Warner Bros. Next, she will play the leading role in Christopher Nolan's new film "Inception".

Most of the negotiations between the two sides actually spent on negotiations on Matthew's pay.

The two sides reached a consensus on the basic salary of US$20 million, but the later sharing of the funds involved may be discussed for a long time for every 0.00% point.

Matthew and Helen Hermann’s idea is to divide the share directly from the early box office, and the share is not limited to the North American box office, but adopt the global box office percentage sharing method.

Warner Bros. will definitely not agree happily. Christopher Nolan has a director's box office share. If Matthew shares a part of the early box office, the film's box office profit may be reduced infinitely.

So, Warner Bros. wants Matthew to accept the way of sharing box office profits.

In this way, the negotiations between the two sides continued to be tug-of-war until June to reach a consensus.

In the signed agreement, the share that Matthew enjoyed was limited to the North American box office of the film, but was just the share of the early box office, not the share of the profit.

The share ratio is still a step-by-step approach, starting with the North American box office of 100 million US dollars. In the future, the North American box office of the film will reach 100 million US dollars. He can get one percent of the box office amount as share, and the $150 million US dollars is two percent...

And so on, for every $50 million increase in North America's box office, his share ratio rose by one percent, with a maximum of ten percent capped.

Warner Bros. made appropriate concessions in other aspects to allow Matthew to agree that the box office share is limited to the North American box office rather than the global box office.

The most important one is the copyright fees and DVDs in new media. In addition to the proportion of the actors' union, Matthew can also enjoy 10% of the future income of new media and DVDs as personal dividends.

Today, Hollywood films generate higher and higher revenues on new Internet media; although DVDs have passed the hottest stage, the sales of DVDs of big-selling films are still excellent.

Until today, DVD is still one of the main revenues of major Hollywood production and distribution companies. It is not an exaggeration to say that Hollywood is still making money on DVD. Although the sales of popular DVDs often exceed 100 million in the first week, the top ten movies in North America's annual box office rankings, except for extremely individual examples, most of the final DVD sales can be sold for more than 100 million US dollars.

Moreover, the production cost of DVD is far lower than the once popular videotape, and will not exceed at most one to three percent of the wholesale price sold by the publisher to sellers. Even if marketing and other costs are included, the profit margin is still terrifying.

Matthew has specialized in the North American DVD market for the sake of two films: Fast and Furious 4 and Twilight.

Normally, if a single movie is a hit movie, the studio can earn $5 million to $8 million from a single leaser. This is just the rental part, and the sales part is more than this.

In other words, a popular film Hollywood can obtain tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue from DVDs, and this revenue is almost all net profit.

After finalizing the male lead of "Inception", Matthew received a more detailed project plan. The film will not start filming until next year as soon as possible. In the next time, the crew will have to prepare in advance and find other suitable actors.

Many characters in this film have a strong role, and then read the script carefully. After Matthew called James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, he recommended them to Christopher Nolan.

After handling the contract with Warner Bros., he got another good news. Paramount Pictures and Stephen Somos finally came up with the latest script of "Special Forces" with Duke as the absolute male lead!

After many considerations, Hasbro finally chose to compromise with the market. In the words of Stephen Somos when he was on the phone with Matthew: If even the first "Special Force" film cannot be successful, everything Hasbro and Paramount Pictures do on this project will make no sense.

Paramount Pictures and Hasbro neither plan to shoot only one "Special Force". As long as the first one is successful, some ideas can be put into the subsequent sequel.
Chapter completed!
