Nowadays, Walt Disney has been fighting on the other side of the Pacific, and the new Disneyland project is also being approved. It is said that it will pass the approval as late as next year. Disney's films always have some unexplained advantages in the big scissors. This is also one of the reasons why Matthew finally chose Disney as the publisher of "Twilight" and "Fast and Furious 4".

The former did not have much expectations. The type of "Twilight" does not meet the expectations and aesthetics of international blockbusters on the other side of the Pacific. Coupled with the baptism of Qiong Yao dramas over the years, even if they are released, the popularity will not be much better.

But the latter is different. "Fast and Furious 4" is the favorite popcorn among the audiences.

Matthew, David Ellison and Walt Disney have reached a tacit understanding and will fully promote the passing of "Fast and Furious 4". For the sake of the future, as long as the film can be released in the opposite theater, he will take all the leading actors of the crew to the other side of the Pacific for the premiere.

In addition, due to the complex ethnic composition of the cast members, he specifically instructed all major cast members not to express political and racial views at will, and it became a clear provision in the contract.

This is not only for the market but also for the crew. If everything goes well, this group of people will have to work together for many years, including whites, Asians, Latinos and Africans, etc. Some sensitive words are very likely to cause conflicts within the crew.

There is no conflict within the Hollywood crew, but the contradiction must be controlled within a certain range.

"Fast and Furious 4" may not have a high box office across the Pacific Ocean. After all, the market there has just become popular, and the share ratio is only a pitiful 13%.

But the market has been cultivated. The "Fast and Furious" series is growing with a group of audiences, and it is very likely to usher in a continuous explosion in the future.

Having said that, in addition to the pure popcorn type, "Fast and Furious 4" also has its own advantages. Daniel Wu is a pure Chinese actor, and the male protagonist who can speak fluent Chinese is definitely not a problem to win the favor of the audience there.

After leaving the conference room, Matthew did not leave immediately and went to Bill Felton's office to talk about Fast and Furious 4.

It was not until mid afternoon that he got off the floor where Disney Pictures was and was about to take the elevator to the first floor.

Standing in the elevator, the elevator door opened, and before Matthew walked into the elevator, he saw a familiar person standing inside.

"Hi, Nat." After he entered, he greeted Natalie Portman first. Natalie Portman responded with a smile, "Hello, Matthew."

There were other people in the elevator, and the two of them didn't talk until they left the elevator.

"Long time no see." Natalie Portman turned out of the elevator, looked at Matthew while walking, and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

Matthew said casually, "A movie I invested in is about to be released. Come and attend a promotional conference."

Natalie Portman nodded slightly.

Matthew remembered Brad Pitt's Plan B-based company invested in those two videos and said, "Nate, we haven't seen each other for a long time, can we find a place to chat?"

"Well..." Natalie Portman thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to coffee."

The two walked out of the Disney headquarters building, went to a nearby cafe, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat in a quiet booth, each with their own thoughts.

"Nate, I remember you have a cooperation with Disney." Matthew deliberately looked curious, "Isn't it also discussing the release of the movie with Disney?"

Natalie Portman did not deny it, smiled and said, "Wachowski's brothers can't get away, I came on behalf of them to talk to the people from Bowei Pictures."

"Which project in "Cloud Map"?" asked Matthew.

"Yeah." Natalie Portman nodded slightly, "Disney is responsible for the overseas distribution of "Cloud Map".

Speaking of "Cloud Map", Matthew said with regret, "It's a pity that I didn't participate in this project." He sighed and asked, "Is the filming of "Cloud Map" completed?"

Natalie Portman put down the coffee cup in his hand, "I finished the film last week, and now I have moved to post-production. It is estimated that it will be completed in April next year."

She said intentionally or unintentionally, "I have participated in the shooting and found out that this is really a very special work."

Matthew shook his head, "I'm sorry I missed this project." He asked again, "Have you ordered the release schedule? I'll go and watch this video at that time. The Wachowski's brothers' thoughts are really special."

"Mid June next year." Natalie Portman didn't need to cover up the news that would be released publicly. "Originally, Bra...well, the Wachowski brothers wanted Disney to set the schedule for Independence Day, but Paramount Pictures has already set the schedule for Independence Day, which you starred in "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra", so they had to set the schedule forward."

Matthew smiled, "Next year's Independence Day schedule is a bit crowded."

Natalie Portman acknowledged Matthew's words, "Twentieth Century Fox's "Ice Age 3", Universal Pictures' "Public Enemy No. 1", and "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" starring you..."

In recent years, there have always been films starring Matthew on Independence Day and have been successfully successful one after another, which also gave Paramount Pictures a hint that even if the time is a bit tight, it still chose this schedule.

In fact, this is not the most crowded period. One weekend in late May, two top productions, "Museum Night 2" and "Terminator 4", were squeezed together.

At first, Disney Pictures planned to release "Fast and Furious 4" in late May, but later it was ahead of the second weekend in May, which was released one week after "Wolverine".

Next year will be the year of Hollywood movies, with many super-large productions coming.

Natalie Portman asked at this time, "Matthew, I heard that there is another movie you invested in to be released this year, and it is also released by Disney?"

"Twilight." Matthew said directly, "I'm here today for this film."

"Just adaptation of the love between werewolf and vampire?" Natalie Portman asked tentatively.

Matthew nodded, "Yeah, my No. 13 movie studio is the producer."

Natalie Portman hesitated for a moment, and endured some words and went back.

This type of film has long been outdated. Even if it is covered with a new coat, it is essentially a teenage idol movie that is so loving that it will not have a good result.

In fact, she asked questions on purpose, but after asking, she felt that it would be better not to say the following words, after all, she and Matthew still maintained a good relationship on the surface.

There are many people who are not optimistic about the movie "Twilight".

Natalie Portman then changed the subject, but some thoughts about "Twilight" were always in his mind.

Matthew Horner has indeed strong market appeal, and the movies he starred have been selling well one after another, but the movies he starred and the movies he invested in are all different things. Audiences are willing to buy the accounts of the movies he starred in, and may not like the movies he invested in.

Although she asked a question on purpose just now, she actually had some understanding of the movie "Twilight". Apart from director Sofia Coppola, among the main cast members of the crew, there are some small characters who have never heard of them.

How many people know Nina Duboff, Liam Hemsworth and Lily Collins?

The box office of this "Twilight" is probably not very high. Judging from the situation in recent years, it would be good if the box office in North America could catch up with the production cost.

The two of them didn't chat for too long. They walked out of the cafe one after another for about half an hour.

Matthew got into a bulletproof car and told Brown Williams back to Beverly Hills. He took out his cell phone and called Bella Anderson, asking her to inquire about the situation on Brad Pitt and Project B.

Before the car arrived at Horner Manor, Bella Anderson called back and told in detail about the situation of "Cloud Map" and "Alien Battlefield".

As Natalie Portman said, "Cloud Map" has started post-production and will be released in the summer next year.

Another super-large production "Alien Battlefield" is still in preparation, and it is estimated that it will not start shooting next year. If it is released, it will take as early as 21 years. Disney Pictures has initially set the schedule of this film for the 21-year summer.

When he returned home, Matthew specifically checked the latest situation between Will Smith and "The Green Lantern".

These three films are all projects he cares about very much.

Will Smith's role as a white character in the original comic also amplifies the voices of supporting the black movement in the circle, and various support for the black people are endless.

This is also the trend of the social situation.

However, some people expressed dissatisfaction with this.

Perhaps it was Spike Lee's remarks about "The Flag of the Fathers" that left a bad impression, and Clint Eastwood expressed a different view on this.

In an interview with the media, Clint Eastwood mentioned his thoughts on "political correctness". He felt that the current society was constantly weakened because of these four words, and he believed that everyone's sense of humor had also erased many interesting things.
