"Jerry Bruckheimer?"

Matthew thought of something from the past. Helen Herman said at the time that Jerry Bruckheimer was planning a big project with Walt Disney. He couldn't help asking, "Is there any news about that playground project?"

"Disney has reached an agreement with Jerry Bruckheimer on this project." Unlike last time, Helen Herman obviously had the exact news, "They will use Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride as a model to create a A brand-new pirate adventure movie with an estimated investment of no less than $100 million."

"Pirate movie," Matthew asked curiously, "Is Pirates of the Caribbean a ride in Disneyland?"

He had never been to Disneyland, and it was the first time he heard of a Pirates of the Caribbean playground in Disneyland.

"It's not just that," Helen-Hellman added. "Disney registered the Pirates of the Caribbean brand a long time ago, and if someone used that brand to make a movie, it would infringe Disney's copyright."

Matthew didn't expect that the big project of Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer in Helen Herman's mouth would be, he can only sigh to himself that poor children have never been to Disneyland.

Seeing that Matthew was silent, Helen Herman thought he had an idea, and asked, "Are you worried about pirate movies?" She said directly, "Pirate movies are in decline, which directly led to the bankruptcy of Carlock Pictures. This type of film The film is really risky, but I want to remind you. Matthew, this is a Jerry Bruckheimer producer project!"

"Well, I know." Matthew didn't understand the history of the rise and fall of Hollywood pirate movies. "Jerry Bruckheimer is a gold producer. He is a guarantee of success."

"Projects produced by Jerry Bruckheimer have a very small chance of failure." Helen Herman habitually lowered his glasses, "That's why I have been paying attention to his new projects."

Working with successful people is more likely to be successful. This is one of the most basic ways to avoid risk in Hollywood, and Matthew naturally knows that. He asked, "Is there anything more specific?"

Helen Herman shook his head slightly, "At present, Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer are only sure to make such a film, targeting teenage audiences, with an investment of no less than 100 million US dollars. There is no other for the time being, Jerry Bruckheimer Mo is still looking for a suitable writer to write the script."

Matthew couldn't help but be a little curious, "Have you decided to invest even without a script?"

"It's normal." Helen Herman didn't find it strange. "Many Hollywood movies have projects before they find screenwriters to write scripts, not screenwriters who write scripts and sell them everywhere."

"No script, no character..." Matthew spread his hands, "What should I do?"

Helen Herman has long considered, "Since it is an entertainment film aimed at teenagers, the characters will definitely be younger, and handsome men and women are generally standard. You don't need to do too much, as long as you meet Jerry Brook. Highmore's place, just make a good impression on him."

Matthew nodded lightly, "I understand."

Helen Herman added, "You have a huge disparity with Jerry Bruckheimer. Don't be smart and have a relationship with him. It's easy to have the opposite effect." She thought about it, and then said, "I will Keep following this project and let you know when you need something to do.”

Matthew did not speak, and continued to nod. In this regard, his interests with Helen Herman were closely tied.

"The filming is over now." Helen Herman leaned back in the chair and folded her arms, "Matthew, you've had enough time to rest! It's best for us to get nervous next. Opportunity, our goal is Disney's project with Jerry Bruckheimer,

Then there's Stephen Sommers and Universal's monster movie projects, both of which are a-List projects. "

She looked at Matthew, "In the ideal situation, you can get the male lead of these two projects. Both projects are box office hits, and you can directly enter the ranks of first-tier movie stars."

Hearing the first-line movie stars, Matthew was also very tempted, but then he woke up. This is only the best situation imagined, and it is too difficult to achieve.

99% of Stephen Sommers and Universal's monster movie project is the one that will change because of his involvement? Matthew doesn't think so, even if he can participate in this film, he is just an actor, an ordinary actor, it is impossible to change such a big project.

Step back 10,000 steps, even if it can affect Stephen Sommers and Universal Pictures, how should he affect it? How to change this video? What can I do to make this film a success?

Even if he becomes the producer of the crew, does he know what to do?

Therefore, the male protagonist of this film is very likely to be a pit for him, and it is best to reject it.

As for the continuous shooting of this series, Johnny Depp has become a top Hollywood star, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.

But Matthew lacked confidence, that sissy pirate was not suitable for him, a very strong and tough man played this type of role, and he couldn't think of a second possibility except failure.

Then there is the little blacksmith. There is no problem with the image of this character. After all, a blacksmith should be a strong man with strong muscles.

However, there seems to be little hope.

As soon as the series was released, Orlando Bloom directly became popular and entered the second line steadily.

Helen Herman simply chose the two most difficult tasks, one of which was still the one that could not be touched.

Fortunately, Stephen Sommers and Universal Pictures may not choose him, even if it is a box office success, he is not as good as Wolverine.

You can try it out. If you fail, you will have nothing to lose. What if you succeed? After all, the agent Helen Herman still has resources and means.

Sitting in the office, Matthew's head was running fast, and he suddenly thought of another question. If you want to become a celebrity, you must have a movie with a big box office. This kind of movie often costs a lot of money, and the movie with high cost, which one? Isn't the protagonist fat? Not being stared at by a pack of wolves?

If you want to eat this piece of fat, you must stand out from the pack of wolves.

Need competition, don't other big projects need it? If you want to climb up, it is impossible to avoid this kind of competition.

After chatting with Helen Herman until close to noon, Matthew left the Angel Agency, but he was still a little overwhelmed at the thought of competing for the lead role in a movie project that didn't even have a script or role.

But on second thought, this is precisely his advantage, because he knows that there are three protagonists in it. Although he can't remember the specific names, he generally knows that they are the sissy pirate captain, the little blacksmith and the flat-chested heroine.

Among them, the most suitable for a handsome man like him is the little blacksmith. The British accent of this role is easy to say. He has taken accent classes at the Los Angeles Acting School, one of which is to learn the so-called London accent. If you are determined to compete for this role , you can practice again.

The biggest problem is fame, without the trilogy and Legolas...

Matthew shook his head, which was clearly impossible, the first of the series was coming out next month.

When he got into his own car, he didn't think about it any more. Since the opportunity presented itself, he had to fight for it.

After leaving the Angel Agency, Matthew went directly to the Los Angeles Performing Arts School, found David Astor, and asked him to help find an excellent British accent teacher, ready to hire a lot of money.

This is not only for the present, but also for the future. Many Hollywood movies will use British accents. For example, in the trailers that have been released, all the main characters Yishui's British accent.

Matthew is very clear that this is to increase his own competitive capital, not a waste of resources.

Then he went to the gym again, found Niebola, and asked him if he knew a fencing coach related to the film industry. Although Matthew had practiced fencing under the guidance of action coach Tim Madsen before shooting, he This type of fencing is very different from European-style fencing.

And he vaguely remembers that the action design in Chinese is different from the action scenes that strive to be realistic, and is more fancy and beautiful.

All of what he has done is conducive to the future competition for this role.

Matthew didn't know whether it was more appropriate to use the prophet first, or the stupid bird to fly first.

David Astor helped him contact an accent teacher as quickly as possible, and would teach him the practice of British accent as soon as possible. Matthew had a little foundation before, which was relatively not particularly difficult.

On the fitness club side, Niebola also promised to help him contact a fencing coach who had experience teaching actors, and quickly arrived.

Matthew is taking advantage of the little advantage he has to prepare himself. Anyway, these skills will be beneficial for the future.

These cost a lot of money again, and fortunately he is not short of money now.

The crew has paid the full $500,000 in remuneration in place, and Matthew has a lot of money in his hands, and there is no problem with paying for this.

Time passed quickly in the practice of British accent and fencing. After entering December, he temporarily put aside other things at hand, went to the crew to report, and prepared to participate in several promotional activities such as the media preview and screening in Los Angeles.

Sony Columbia Pictures is targeting the Oscars next year, so although the film’s release date has been pushed back to January next year, it will be shown in five Los Angeles theaters in December in order to get the most basic Oscar selection tickets.

All of the test screenings, screenings and other promotions, the crew and Sony Columbia Pictures revolved around the Oscars.

Matthew signed a contract with the crew and was obliged to cooperate with the promotion of the film. At the first preview meeting he attended, he saw many familiar faces who participated in the filming together.
