"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

Inside the Black Mamba Bar, Michael Fassbender looked at Matthew and shook his head, "You're a guy who managed to get into the male lead, and still invest 40 million dollars in the production!"

Matthew deliberately put on a very dragged look, "No way, who made me look handsome and attractive!"

"Go to hell, you!" James McAvoy gave him a shove and said with a smile, "Can you be as handsome as me?"

"I'm more handsome than you!" Matthew turned to James McAvoy and said, "but not as beautiful as you."

Michael Fassbender grinned, showing his white teeth, "Isn't that a meaning?"

The three of them raised their glasses and drank together.

James McAvoy asked curiously, "Matthew, why have you never met your girlfriend? You were filming on set, and she didn't visit the class. We came to Los Angeles, and she didn't show up?"

"She's busy." Matthew shrugged and said vaguely, "Going out of town."

Britney's new album is already on sale, and she's back to flying around with announcements.

He took the initiative to change the subject, "You came to dub, why didn't the crew inform me?"

"The dubbing is all about a few minor characters." James McAvoy took the glass from Michael Fassbender and said, "The sound effects of the main characters don't seem to be a problem."

Speaking of the crew, he remembered something and asked Matthew, "Didn't Johnny Lee Miller ask you for the tape?"

"Video tape?" Michael Fassbender asked curiously just after pouring Matthew's drink, "What video tape?"

"A tape that doesn't exist," Matthew briefly told Michael Fassbender.

"There's still such a thing?" Michael Fassbender grinned again, showing his white teeth, "Matthew, luckily you're smart, otherwise we'll be looking for you in the San Fernando Valley."

Matthew raised his glass to him and took a sip.

Michael Fassbender added, "Where are you going to get the tapes?"

"So, I've been dragging." Matthew put down his glass and said, "Johnny Lee Miller didn't answer the call to me, I just blacklisted him."

James McAvoy thought of something and suddenly asked, "Did you participate in the pre-screening promotion?"

Matthew shook his head, "I don't know, neither the agent nor I have been notified."

"If you participate, pay attention." James McAvoy reminded, "Maybe you will meet Johnny Lee Miller."

Michael Fassbender also said, "Matthew, it's better to be careful, Johnny Lee Miller is very familiar with the British actor gang in Hollywood."

"Well." James McAvoy echoed, "I can testify about that."

He is an authentic British actor in his own right.

"I'll keep an eye on him." Matthew naturally doesn't underestimate Johnny Lee Miller.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Michael Fassbender changed the subject, "Let's talk about being happy..."

Before he could finish speaking, a small man passing by suddenly stopped beside the table, glanced at Matthew, and said hello, "Matthew?"

Hearing this voice, Matthew immediately looked over and saw a familiar face, the director who had directed Britney's MV, quickly stood up, and responded politely, "Hello, Director Schneider, no I thought of meeting you here."

He stretched out his right hand, and Zach Snyder shook it in his hand and said, "Call me Zach."

Rarely meet a director,

Matthew asked politely, "Sit down for a drink?"

Zach Snyder shook his head, "I still have something to do, let's do it another day."

Matthew nodded, and the two chatted a few more casually. They basically talked about work, and there was no common topic other than work. After stopping for less than a minute, Zach Snyder said goodbye and left.

"Who is he?" Michael Fassbender asked curiously.

"Zach Snyder," Matthew said simply, "a director of music videos and commercials."

"He's a big name in the advertising world," James McAvoy said suddenly, always well-informed and apparently aware of Zach Snyder, "He's shot commercials that are unique and known for their wide-screen cinematic style. , who produced promos for Nike and Reebok featuring Michael Jordan and tennis star Martina Navratilova, and was named the most talented commercial director by a British magazine."

Only then did Matthew know that Zach Snyder had such a big reputation before he entered the film industry.

In the conversation just now, Zach Snyder also inadvertently mentioned that he is going to be a film director and is looking for a suitable project.

However, even if he has a great reputation in the advertising industry, it is not easy to become a director of a film project with a certain investment scale.

What was Zach Snyder's first movie about? Matthew chats and spanks with James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as he recalls information about Zach Snyder.

It's definitely not a superhero movie. It seems that there is a three-hundred-red trousers that appeared earlier, maybe this one?

He really can't remember, after all, the real impression of Zach Snyder is still.

The three of them had been drinking at the Black Mamba Bar until more than ten o'clock in the evening, drank a whole bottle of whiskey and some low-alcohol cocktails, and then walked out of the bar together dizzy.

For safety reasons, Matthew called for a chauffeur when he came out, and then beckoned James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to a nearby parking lot.

Not long after walking out, after passing an intersection, James McAvoy pointed to a place on the side of the road and said, "Rivean Phoenix overdose and died there."

Matthew had never heard of this name and asked curiously, "Who is River Phoenix?"

Michael Fassbender explained, "A real acting genius, but unfortunately he is addicted to drugs."

"Drug addiction..." Matthew sighed with emotion, thinking of a sentence he often saw, "Cherish life and stay away from drugs!"

While drug use is common in Hollywood, there are also people who don't use drugs.

Matthew can't understand, what kind of mentality do drug addicts have?

The chauffeur quickly arrived at the parking lot, drove Matthew's BMW, took James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to their respective hotels, and finally took Matthew back to Burban K's home.

In the next few days, apart from flying to Washington, D.C. and meeting Britney, who was running the announcement, Matthew spent the rest of the time basically in the inherent plan. The only difference was that he increased fitness and fitness. During the training time, I would spend the whole afternoon in the fitness club in Ximu District, practicing boxing and free fighting with Nie Bola and another fitness trainer.

With the improvement of his level, he will also think of the previous idea about mindless movies, and he has also considered, if he can really become a star in the future, can he invest in an action movie from start to finish?

During this holiday period, Matthew also received a call from Kelly Hu, an equally outstanding actor who has found a new job, playing a highly skilled female mutant in 20th Century Fox's superhero production. , is said to have a lot of opposite scenes with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.

Later, Matthew also got an opportunity to apply for a job from 20th Century Fox, also a superhero movie.

After learning that 20th Century Fox had set up a project for a comic book movie, Helen Herman tried to submit his actor resume to the crew, hoping to win the role.

This kind of superhero production, once commercially successful, the protagonist will become popular.

Matthew received a notice from Helen Herman, and he was a little confused. He used to be a fan of superhero movies and popcorn movies. He had seen countless online pirated resources, but he did not remember such a movie.

Like this kind of superhero movie, if he has seen it, he will definitely have an impression. If he does not have an impression, it may be that the influence of this movie is very small.

However, he didn't get an audition invitation from the crew at all. A few days after Helen Herman delivered his resume, he received an email from the crew. The crew declined Matthew because the actor had already been determined.

Just like the crew, the crew decided that Ben Affleck would play the leading role as soon as the project was approved.

Hearing the name of Ben Affleck, Helen Herman also gave up, Matthew did not have the capital to compete with Ben Affleck.

Matthew didn't feel sorry either. He didn't have any impression of such a big investment in a superhero movie. Who knows if it's a pit? If you jump down, you might fall to pieces.

A failed big-budget commercial film can have a very different impact on the minor supporting characters and the leading actor.

The production company shoots commercial movies to pursue profit, and naturally wants to avoid risks. A new actor starring in a big-budget male protagonist is thrown into the street. What will the production company think when it sees this actor?

Moreover, there are too many actors in this circle who want to make their mark.

After resting for nearly half a month, Matthew was called by Helen Herman to the Angels Agency, saying that he had work-related matters to discuss.

"Call me over in such a hurry," Matthew asked, sitting across from her desk, "Is there a role for me?"

Helen Herman said, "The crew has sent you a notice asking you to attend several promotional events in North America in December."

Matthew instantly thought of Johnny Lee Miller and nodded, "Oh."

"One more thing," Helen Herman added. "Try to be familiar with Jerry Bruckheimer."
