Chapter 908 Need money to support the family
After Justin Lin and screenwriter Chris Morgan came up with a general character, Matthew contacted Jason Statham and Charlize Theron.
Jason Statham is in the UK, and Matthew is temporarily unable to leave Los Angeles and can only contact him by phone. The two made several calls and basically reached a preliminary intention. Jason Statham himself is willing to play the main role in such a top production, but the specific details still require further discussions with his agent.
Matthew has never been worried about dealing with Jason Statham. When he last filmed "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra", Jason Statham expressed a strong intention to cooperate. In recent years, he also lacked powerful works in addition to "The Expendables".
Even if "The Expendables" is included, Jason Statham has never appeared in Hollywood's first-line productions in the past.
For an actor who is seriously biased towards action, the attractiveness of first-line productions is conceivable.
Moreover, Jason Statham's pay is not high, far from meeting the standards of first-tier stars.
Compared to Jason Statham, Charlize Theron was a little troublesome. Matthew decided to meet her. After contacting Charlize Theron, he learned that she was filming a film called "Snow White and the Hunter" at Universal Studios.
Charlize Theron plays not the heroine, but the villain queen.
Charlize Theron is far from being compared with a few years ago. After starring with him in "Mr. Smith" and "Superman Hancock", Charlize Theron is a popular star.
But in recent years, she has taken very few films, including such a big flop like "The Burning Plains".
Hollywood is a forgetful place, and moviegoers are also a team that is very easy to divert their interests and hobbies. A star fades out of his horizon for a few years, and the impact is very great.
Not to mention Charlize Theron, even Julia Roberts has only been away from the audience's sight for two or three years, and when he comes back, he is unable to create the glory of that year.
When he came to the studio area of Universal Studios, Matthew asked for a little inquiries and found out the studio where the crew of "Snow White and the Hunter" was located. He then came to a huge studio not far from the entrance of the cinema, asked a greeting from the staff, and walked into the studio under the leadership of an assistant crew.
The crew is filming, and is also a Hollywood actor. Matthew understands some of the most basic rules. He comes to the outside of the set and watches the shooting silently.
Charlize Theron is filming, and he will wait for her to finish filming.
Matthew took a rough look and the set was arranged as a palace similar to that of the medieval European era. A large number of actors who played the guards and the leader stood among them. The most conspicuous one was a girl in a shabby dress and Charlize Theron, who was sitting on the throne opposite her.
"This is the Queen and Snow White?" Matthew murmured in his heart.
Charlize Theron has luxurious clothes and a strong aura, and he really has a queen-like style.
Matthew looked at Charlize Theron and said silently, "Singing in an art film is a waste of resources."
Then he saw Snow White,
It was a familiar face. Matthew just recognized it slightly and confirmed that it was a man... No, it was Christine Stewart.
It's obvious that Christine Stewart plays Snow White.
Although he lost the role of Isabella, Christine Stewart was a child star after all. Matthew was not surprised to get the role of Snow White. The problem is that if you chose Christine Stewart as Snow White, then you should choose Whoopi Gordon Castle to be the queen?
Otherwise, wouldn’t Magic Mirror lies to the audience and the queen with his eyes open?
It is estimated that the person who has casting power has a feud with Christine Stewart.
Matthew complained, and stopped watching the filming, and he couldn't help but complain again if he continued to watch it.
Finally, the director called for a stop to shoot and asked the crew to rest for twenty minutes. Matthew walked to the resting place to look for Charlize Theron, but found that Christine Stewart, who had left the set, was intimately holding a young man dressed in a medieval aristocrat and entering the resting place together.
The man looked familiar, but Matthew couldn't remember the other person's name.
"What are you looking at?" Charlize Theron walked over and looked at Kristen Stewart in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Don't go too far, Matthew. As you can see, Kristen Stewart has a boyfriend."
Matthew couldn't help but frown, "Hey, my dear, what are you thinking?"
Charlize Theron knew that he had misunderstood and was not embarrassed. With the help of his assistant, he took off the queen's crown, sat above a sofa, pointed to the side, and said, "Sit as you like, don't be polite."
Matthew looked around and everyone around him was very conscious. After serving Charlize Theron, they all flashed to the distance.
"What were you just looking at?" Charlize Theron continued.
"The actor who was with Kristen Stewart looks familiar." Matthew told the truth.
Charlize Theron said simply, "His name is Robert Pattinson, and he plays the prince in this drama."
Matthew nodded slightly, changed the subject, and asked curiously, "What do you think of being in such a movie?"
"The pay is very high," Charlize Theron said directly, "I need money to support my family."
"Support the family?" Matthew frowned.
Who would like to see the goddess she once moved to marry someone else? If you love her, you have to see her happy. He never believes in such fucking words.
Charlize Theron's beautiful eyes swept over Matthew's face, sighed softly, and explained, "I have adopted a daughter, and we will depend on each other in the future. I want to create the best life for my daughter."
Matthew could understand what this said. Charlize Theron had that special experience, and he was harmed by himself for a while, so he probably lacked confidence in men.
Adopting a daughter may also be a place for love.
"Sally." Matthew said slowly, "If you need help, even if you speak, you don't need to be polite to me."
No matter what, both of them were openly engaged.
Charlize Theron didn't hesitate to Matthew, and smiled and said, "I can."
"Where is your daughter?" Matthew continued, "at home? Didn't bring it here? When will I see it?"
Charlize Theron showed a motherly kind smile, "The nanny and the assistant took her out to play, and you will probably see her after a while."
A large group of actors walked by not far ahead at this time. After seeing this, Matthew couldn't help but say, "Who is responsible for casting in the crew? I'm really good at it."
"Hmm?" Charlize Theron didn't understand what Matthew meant.
There was no one around, and Matthew didn't have so much concern about speaking. "Since it's a fairy tale movie, can't you choose a few actors who are pleasing to the eye?"
Charlize Theron glanced at Matthew, "It's great."
Matthew tilted his head and looked at Charlize Theron, deliberately posing in a clear manner, and said, "Indeed, this is very good for you." He joked, "Sally, there are these people... Oh, yes, and the Snow White just now as a set, I found you very beautiful today."
Charlize Theron never thought so. The next film was purely because the pay was high enough and the role was quite attractive.
Matthew nodded, "Sally, have you ever had such an idea?"
"What's the idea?" Charlize Theron asked curiously.
"Didn't you laugh crazy in your heart every day?" Matthew learned from Charlize Theron's tone when he spoke, "A bunch of ugly, short and poor people dare to compete with the queen! I'll wait to be sprayed to death when I'm in the film!"
"Puff..." Charlize Theron couldn't help laughing.
Matthew also laughed. Although he was not an actor from the same era, he was a two actor who was a famous fairy tale enemy, and he would definitely be compared after the film was released. The media and the audience would definitely compare Christine Stewart and Charlize Theron to compare their appearance and aura. Christine Stewart is really not suitable to play a princess.
Especially the princess in the fairy tale.
"No kidding." Charlize Theron looked at the time and asked directly, "What's the matter with me?"
The two old friends who have been together for many years know each other very well. Matthew came to find her, definitely not to make her happy.
Although she likes this very much, Matthew, a person who is very purposeful in doing things...
"How about we work together again?" Matthew and Charlize Theron had no need to go around the circle, and said directly, "I guess around New Year 2013, I will film the seventh part of the "Fast and Furious" series."
He roughly said, "There is a very strong female villain... Well, there are many scenes, and it should be second only to me, comparable to Paul Walker. Are you interested?"
"A very powerful female villain?" Charlize Theron thought for a while and asked, "Can you beat you up in the video?"
Matthew was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, in the middle, I will be beaten badly by you, although you will be sent to prison by me in the end."
Charlize Theron quickly gave the answer, "Yes, but I signed a contract with Warner Brothers. I may shoot a movie by George Miller at that time. If there is a schedule conflict, you should give priority to coordinating for me."
"No problem." Matthew immediately responded.
The two quickly reached an intention, and other matters would be discussed slowly by the producer of the crew and the actor's agent.
Matthew chatted with Charlize Theron for a while, and twenty minutes passed quickly. Charlize Theron returned to the set and waited for her to complete two more scenes. When she came back to rest, Charlize Theron's assistant, Bella Anderson's sister, brought a little girl back from outside the studio.
"Mommy..."
Chapter completed!
