Chapter 769 Trading Principles

Back in Los Angeles, Matthew immediately put things on the other side of the Pacific and turned to the pre-screening publicity of "Fast and Furious 4" in the last few days. In recent times, Disney Pictures has made full use of the public opinion trend brought about by the shootings and made a lot of work on the publicity of "Fast and Furious 4".

There are multiple different versions of live videos, and there is no need to spend too much ink, so Matthew became an iron-blooded man in the eyes of the public like the male protagonist of the movie.

On the day he came back, Matthew heard Bella Anderson mention that in the public email address of Studio Thirteen, he received countless letters asking for dating, most of which were women, and a small number of men, as well as players like Wachowski, who were neither male nor female.

Matthew handed all these things over to the studio to handle, and chose some women's letters to reply, and ignored all men and women.

In addition, what surprised Matthew was that he also received some challenge books such as professional wrestling and free fighting, which he naturally would not respond to.

People are famous and have many troubles, so this is not just a saying.

Those so-called challengers are nothing more than using them to attract attention.

If someone really wants to challenge him, he can do it. He is doing comprehensive practical training similar to soldiers, just like those who engage in professional wrestling, compare shooter skills, free fighting skills, and boxing competition cars...

Also, compete with these so-called challengers who are more handsome!

Definitely kill them all in seconds.

Of course, the best way is to ignore them.

With his current status, even if someone challenges publicly, there is no need to respond, because the gap between the two sides is too big. A homeless man wants to be richer than a billionaire. Do billionaires need to pay attention to it?

The aftermath of the shooting has not disappeared until now. "Fast and Furious 4" has benefited a lot. The day before its premiere in North America, the pre-sale box office of the film has exceeded US$40 million.

No one doubted that Fast and Furious 4's box office exceeded 100 million in North America, but what Matthew was most worried about was the later box office trend.

The hot publicity offensive and huge topicality drove most movie fans to the theater on the first weekend, and a large decline the next week was inevitable.

He is not as confident as he thinks that this kind of film can maintain a stable box office trend.

Not to mention this kind of pure popcorn action movie, even the Dark Knight, which countless people regard as classic, has also suffered a large decline in the next week.

If Fast and Furious 4 can have the box office trend of "The Dark Knight", Matthew would definitely be satisfied, but this luxury is obviously unrealistic.

Initially, his expectations for this film were $300 million in North America and $600 million in global box office.

Such achievements are enough to revive the "Fast and Furious" series.

Now that Matthew is being blessed by the public's attention, Matthew believes that the box office in North America is $350 million and the global box office of $700 million is still very realistic.

Matthew spent most of his energy on the promotion of this film. It was not until the day of the premiere that he went to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and talked with the Los Angeles police and FBI people, which was basically concluded.

This case has been classified as a terrorist attack. As a country that has learned painful lessons in terrorist attacks, it is conceivable how severe and rapid the handling of terrorist attacks will be.

According to the news received by Matthew, the prosecution will strive for the death penalty for the three drug dealers who survived under him. The FBI once again joined forces with Mexico to carry out a storm-style cleaning of Tijuana, revealing a clear signal that Mexican drug dealers can do whatever they want in Mexico, dare to cross the border and think about the consequences first.

Matthew's purpose is very simple, and the three of them must die.

Judging from the current situation, the three Mexican drug dealers may not survive this year.

In addition, the shooting was too wide an impact, and a deputy director of the Los Angeles County Police Department and the head of the FBI's Los Angeles Branch all resigned, which was also an explanation made by the government to Matthew.

Of course, it also involves many private negotiations and agreements, such as the films Matthew invests in the future. If the Los Angeles police and the FBI need assistance, the other party will provide the greatest assistance as much as possible within the scope of authority.

With Helen Hermann here, Matthew doesn't have to worry about not getting enough benefits.

But none of these can be said openly.

Matthew no longer has to worry about threats from Mexico, but his safety level has not been reduced. Once he goes out, he will be accompanied by six bodyguards.

He himself is also paying attention to avoid unnecessary risks as much as possible. Sometimes he is thinking that there are indeed problems with public security in Los Angeles. If placed on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the only thing that public figures of this level is his personal safety.

Even if there is danger, at most it is a knife over there. It is too common to have an automatic weapon out here.

No matter how good he is, he can't stop the bullets.

Unfortunately, as many people support gun bans, there are many people who oppose gun bans.

This complex political and social problem is not his turn, a Hollywood star, to worry about.

After returning, Matthew asked Helen Herman specifically that Angel Agency had not received any invitations to a role from the other side of the Pacific. It seemed that his words basically dispelled the director Zhang Da’s mind.

Instead, the other words Helen Hermann said aroused his interest.

"As far as I know, there is a film company across the Pacific and a famous film director who jointly sent Christian Bale a film appointment invitation."

In the office of Angel Agency, Helen Hermann said to Matthew while drinking bitter coffee, "It's what happened in the past few days. It is said that Christian Bale was very interested in that character after reading the script."

Matthew was stunned, "He wants to work with the people over there to shoot a movie?"

I remember that the one who shot the monster movie was Matt Damon. At that time, the media on both sides of the Pacific were bombarded with artillery fire several times. Because it was close to the time when the flying hammer was killed, he remembered it more clearly.

Director Zhang Da has worked with Christian Bale? He doesn't remember anything like this.

"Christian Bale's agent will go across the Pacific next month," Helen Hermann said, "It's probably about Bell's contract."

Matthew nodded and said nothing more. He had already rejected Director Zhang Da. It had nothing to do with him who the other party was willing to find.

“There are a few more things.”

Matthew was not in Los Angeles during this period, and Helen Hermann has accumulated a lot of matters related to him. "The crew of Inception sent a notice to ask you to go directly to the Warner Studios to join the crew in early June."

Matthew thought for a while and said, "You can help me reply to Nolan, I will return to the crew on time."

"Inception" has not been completed, and some outdoor scenes in Los Angeles and Canada have not been filmed.

Helen Herman said again, "Iron Man 2 is starting filming. Kevin Feige hopes you have time to go to the studio at Hughes Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. He seems to have something to interview you."

The film No. 13 Studio accounts for 40% of the investment. Matthew attached great importance to it and said, "Let me turn on the phone for Kevin Feige, and I'll go over and take a look after it's done."

Marvel's superhero movie series is his important future revenue warehouse.

Apple stocks and Disney stocks can always be kept in hand, and the profits obtained from investing in movies are enough to be free and easy.

I just don’t know how many years can superhero movies last.

Anyway, when he was hit by a hammer, Marvel's superhero movies were still very popular.

Helen Hermann's face suddenly turned a little strange and said, "There is a man named...Ni Ni who called the company and said he was a friend you met on the other side of the Pacific."

"She," Matthew said casually, "a good actor."

Helen Herman nodded, as if she understood the meaning behind this, and said, "She left a phone call saying she would be traveling to Los Angeles recently."

Speaking of this, she pushed a card with the number written on it to Matthew, who glanced at it and then put it away.

Angel Brokerage has a group that specializes in handling chores for him. Of course, Matthew would not leave his private number to a woman he just met, and the number left to Nini was the group's number.

"Come to Los Angeles for a trip..." Matthew murmured in his heart, "It seems that this person has decided."

Los Angeles is a good place. It has home advantage and no worries. No matter how many forests there are, it can be cut down.

When the crops are hoeing at noon, the city is full of grass and trees, and it will be seen from time to time.

Maybe you can see how Nini's acting skills are, at least she must be able to pass the exam.

This is also because of the trading principle, he still cares about his reputation in this area.

Helen Herman knows best what kind of person Matthew is, but he is not entangled in this kind of issue at all, and said directly, "Amanda asked me to tell you that some of the funds to save African children and education have been allocated, so you don't have to worry."

"Yeah." Matthew nodded.

"The last thing." Helen Herman took out a gold-burned invitation letter and said, "Natalie Portman sent an invitation. In the middle of next month, "Cloud Map" will hold a grand premiere in Los Angeles, and she invites you as a guest."

Matthew took the invitation letter and took a look, "Then I'll go and have a look."

The two major productions invested by the company B, "Cloud Map" directed by Wachowski, was released in mid-June. As one of the project's promoters, how could he miss the premiere?

Why do you have to watch such a high-end science fiction commercial movie on site?
