The success of "Luxing" has taken a big step forward in James Win's directorial career. Not every director can be like him, with two small-cost horror films directed at the box office of tens of millions of dollars.

Perhaps it was due to his personality, or perhaps it was from a Chinese family in the far East. James Win did not expand because of this. He also knew that with Matthew's strong support, the future path would be easier.

"Suggestion?" he said with a smile, "Matthew, you are the boss, even if you say it."

Matthew was not polite and said directly, "James, how do you think you can let The Hidden and The Conjuring share a worldview?"

James Wen was stunned for a moment, "Let the two stories happen in the same movie world?"

"That's right." Matthew could only give framework suggestions, "If you have other horror movies in the future, you can also put them in the same world, just like a Marvel superhero movie, you can meet a vengeful spirit or other existence that cannot be solved, and you can achieve linkage."

James Winn didn't speak, he was just thinking.

Matthew said again, "We can work together to create a universe! A universe that belongs to terrifying!"

If he wants to realize such a universe, especially to start laying a solid foundation, he does not have such ability, and he must rely on James Win's talent in the field of horror films.

James Winn is not rigid. He is a director with absolutely mainstream business ideas, otherwise he would not have chosen to cooperate with Matthew.

"It sounds good." He thought for a short time and said, "This is a good idea!"

Matthew laughed, "I can only give you some suggestions, how to do it, and you also need to come up with a practical plan."

James Win nodded, "No problem." He was very confident, "Give me some time, I will come up with a detailed written plan."

Matthew knew very well that if this universe wants to succeed, the foundation for the start must be well laid, and James Win is the top priority of the entire plan.

If Matthew had to do it, he wouldn't have the ability to play horror movies at all.

James Win thought for a while and asked, "This is why you recommend not to continue using the actors in "The Conjuring"?

"Since the two videos are placed in the same world," Matthew said with a smile, "You can't let the same person have two identities."

When he first saw the script of "Conjuring", James Win suggested continuing to use the pair Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne, but he rejected it.

On the one hand, it is the need to plan the terror universe, and on the other hand, it is Nicholas Cage.

Since he promised Sofia Coppola to ask for Nicholas Cage, he certainly would not go back on his promise.

"By the way, Matthew." James Win also asked about this. "The formal negotiations with Nicholas Cage can begin. After confirming the cooperation, I need the male and female protagonists to conduct some professional exorcism learning."

Professional exorcist learning? Matthew touched his nose. Although he didn't believe in the mysterious things of ghosts and ghosts, he knew that there was really the profession of exorcist in the real world.

Matthew thought for a while and said, "From next week, I will have someone to have formal negotiations with Nicholas Cage."

"There is also the heroine." James Wen reminded.

"You can find one through the audition for the heroine." Matthew gave the choice of the heroine to James Win. "Leave one for the supporting actress for me, it's better to increase the age setting of the eldest daughter."

These are all small problems, James Win nodded immediately, "No problem."

Matthew is a person who pays great attention to trading principles. "I will then send the supporting actress information to your email address. You can adjust the character design based on the information."

"Yes." James Wen Ying said.

He has no objection to this, and he also knows that the larger the investment scale in Hollywood, the more restricted the director will be. He can shoot whatever he wants, because he believes that he has such a market value and will definitely recover the investment.

But no one will allow a director to do whatever he wants with tens of millions of dollars. Even if Matthew supports him very much, he must know how to restrain himself properly.

Moreover, the last ten-million-dollar work "Dead Silence", to a large extent, did not achieve success.

After Matthew discussed some details with James Win, James Win left his office.

James Winn will not only make early plans for "The Conjuring", but also plan the "Horror Universe". In addition to proposing the "Horror Universe", Matthew also needs to consider the studio's films and investments in many aspects.

Speaking of the cinema universe, if the "horror universe" can unfold, the cinema universe he invested in and dominated will have two speed and passion universes and horror universes.

But one of these two universes has just begun, and the other is still in the planning stage. There is still a long way to go to succeed.

The so-called movie universe is certainly not something that can be claimed as a title with a few sequel movies. The unique world view, infinitely extended story system, and complex character relationships are all necessary and insufficient conditions for becoming the movie universe.

In the subsequent period, new progress was made in the early planning of "The Conjuring". For example, for the sake of the continuity of the subsequent series, James Win made significant changes to the script and added many movie characters and plots that can be expanded; for example, Matthew issued a production budget of $15 million for the project; for example, Nicholas Cage officially signed three film cooperation with Studio 13, and the first "The Conjuring" male lead was paid 3 million US dollars.

Also, James Win recommends using Vera Farmega as the heroine, which is the key psychic exorcist role in the crew.

Matthew agreed to James Win's suggestion that Villa Farmega is not an unknown young actor in the circle, but a type with low pay but good acting skills. He had previously performed well in "The Walker of the Skies" and was not unfamiliar with horror movies. Last year, "Orphan Resentment", which played the heroine, was released.

Such a heroine with a low price and a certain qualification is undoubtedly the most suitable one.

In addition, James Wen solemnly called Matthew and asked him to help find a smart girl star.

This type of actor is not much even if you look at the whole of Hollywood.

In the 1990s, the representatives of this were Christina Ritchie, Kelsten Dunst and Natalie Portman; two thousand years later, the representatives can be said to be the sisters Dakota Fanning and Ellie Fanning.

Unfortunately, Dakota Fanning grew up and became crooked, otherwise the Fanning sisters would have played together... Oh, it would have been a disaster.

The two sisters are not old, but because they have been living in Hollywood since childhood, they have been fully affected by fame and fortune. Since they became sensible, the two sisters have been extremely disagreeable and have had some experience in doing things in the past two years.

No one would foolishly invite the Fanning sisters to star in the same film, otherwise the entire set would not be peaceful.

Rather than being sisters, these two people are more like being a life-and-death enemy that has been compared since childhood.

Soon, Matthew remembered McKenzie Foy, who participated in the audition for "Luxing". At that time, McKenzie Foy had a calm and experienced performance that was different from children, and his elf-like appearance left an extremely deep impression on him. If Lily Depp was not Johnny Depp's daughter and his goddaughter, he would definitely choose McKenzie Foy for the final winner.

Now it just so happens that "Luxing" and "Conjuring" will be attributed to the same world view. Lily Depp will no longer play roles in "Conjuring", and Vanessa Paradis also opposes Lily Depp continuing to star in movies before he is sixteen. Perhaps McKennis Fury is a good choice.

Matthew asked someone to contact McKenzie Foy's agent, and McKenzie Foy was also very willing to cooperate.

In fact, the two sides have begun to cooperate. In the last two films of "Twilight", McKenzie Foy will play the role of Eduardo and Isabella's daughter Renesme.

The third "Luminous Eclipse" of "Twilight" will be released during the Thanksgiving schedule, and the fourth "Day" has begun planning. However, unlike the first three, in order to maximize profits, "Day" will be split into two, and will be released in the Thanksgiving schedule next year and the year after.

Another youth film series, The Hunger Games, has completed all shooting and has now started post-production.

Matthew was determined to get into money and had some thoughts. Can Twilight and Hunger Games be placed under the same worldview and form a new universe?

At present, I can only think about it. After all, these two series have original works, and the author of the original works is not the same person. Not to mention how the two worlds are integrated, copyright alone will be difficult to solve.

This can only be seen in the future if there are suitable opportunities.

While Matthew was busy with these things, he would receive calls from Amber Hilde almost every day.

The actress who had a one-night stand with him seemed very interested in him and kept calling him to meet him, but in recent days, she has been busy with the final preparations of "Special Forces 2: Coming Counterattack" and the horror universe of "Soul Conjuring", and has not met Amber Hilde.

After finishing this period, Matthew received a call from Amber Hilder and directly called her to Horner Manor.

For Amber Hilde, because of some vague memories, he always had a certain degree of guardianship, allowing her to meet in the manor, which was completely within his control.

Besides, he is not a moral model, nor is he a promiscuous person. Sometimes he would rather learn from Teacher Chen.
