"I can't think of it, I can't think of it..."

Looking at Fox Sherman on the opposite side, Matthew muttered in his heart, "Someone is looking for me to get hot."

Maybe he didn't think it right, but Fox Sherman came to him, definitely not wanting a third-rate starlet as the male lead, but set his sights on next year, if he guessed correctly, Fox Sherman The film Mann invested in must be released after "Pirates of the Caribbean". At that time, it will be able to use the money of a third-rate star to obtain far more publicity than the third-rate.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" may indeed fail, but Jerry Bruckheimer is a golden brand, and the odds of success are far greater than failure in the eyes of the outside world.

Besides, business investments are risky.

Fox Sherman said at this time, "Matthew, I am very sincere."

Matthew nodded, picked up the script in front of him, and flipped through it. After only reading a few pages, he frowned slightly and accelerated the speed of flipping. The more he flipped back, the more familiar the scenes and plot descriptions became. A movie I once watched was very similar.

The heroine is a vampire, and the enemy is a werewolf, and the hero is a special existence that combines werewolf and vampire...

Isn't this the movie starring "Pearl Harbor" and "Van Helsing" actress Kate Beckinsale, in which werewolf and vampire fall in love and kill each other?

Thinking of the heroine, Matthew looked at the name on the script and asked, "Who will play Serena?"

"Kate Beckinsale." Fox Sherman laughed twice, "She can be a second-tier now, and it's a very suitable partner for you."

"She." Matthew is still reading the script, "Can you wait for me for a while, I'll read the script first."

Fox-Sherman said, "Yes."

Matthew's reading speed was not fast. It took more than half an hour to roughly read the script at a glance and ten lines. In the previous movie, he only vaguely remembered the heroine in black leather, the werewolf and the vampire, and the rest really left no impression.

"Fox..." Matthew closed the script and said bluntly, "Are you talking about the actor Michael?"

"That's right!" Fox Sherman nodded. "It's Michael."

Matthew pushed the script back to Fox Sherman, "This is not a male protagonist, is it a supporting actor? This is completely a heroine drama, and all the characters and plots are serving the heroine."

Fox-Sherman took it for granted, "The role must be dominated by heroines, otherwise how can you attract a star like Kate Beckinsale? In the crew, she is the highest, and then you are."

Hearing this, Matthew immediately woke up, he thought too much, "Van Helsing" has not been filmed yet, Kate Beckinsale's star career is unanimously optimistic about the industry, and is moving from the second line to the first line, as long as "Van Helsing" "To be successful, a first-line actress is appropriate.

In this regard, Fox-Sherman is not without reason.

The problem is that such a weak chicken character who relies on the heroine for protection most of the time is obviously inconsistent with his style and line.

Whether it is him or Helen Herman as an agent, they are very clear about the future development path.

"Matthew!" Fox-Sherman said at this time, "Although the investment in this play is not large, I can guarantee that the crew will pay you three million dollars!"

This salary figure, like a magnet, instantly attracted Matthew. His salary in "Pirates of the Caribbean" was only $2 million, and he had been preparing for the audition for so long, and this weak chicken was more like a supporting actor. The male protagonist can easily bring in three million dollars in income.

Matthew is very tempted by three million dollars. There are only two kinds of people who are not tempted by three million dollars, those whose assets are far more than three million dollars, and those who have water in their heads.

But temptation does not mean that he will directly respond.

If three years ago, Matthew was still in the mental state of a pure little person,

He will definitely agree, but as his status improves and his horizons expand, his mental state is slowly changing.

Winning these three million dollars may cost him ten million dollars in the future.

"Fox, it's impossible for me to give you an answer now." Matthew was not very interested in this script, and with "Pirates of the Caribbean" by his side, he was somewhat emboldened, "Without the agent's presence, I can't take any jobs."

This is not an unwritten convention, but a clear provision by industry associations, and the California Talent Act also stipulates that actors must rely on agents to obtain work.

"This is not in a hurry." Fox Sherman pushed back the script of werewolves and vampires, and also came with a business card, "You can discuss with the agent and then give me an answer."

He finally said deliberately, "Matthew, I am very sincere. If you are not satisfied with the salary, we can negotiate again."

Matthew nodded, picked up the script and business card, and said, "Okay, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible. I'll take the script first. Except for the agent, it won't be rumored."

Fox Sherman looked generous. "I'm worried? Matthew, we're all old friends."

The two made a few more polite words, and then walked out of the leisure and entertainment area together. Fox Sherman left the fitness club directly. Matthew went to say hello to Niebola, took a shower and changed clothes, did not continue training, took the script I went directly to the Angel Agency. According to the stipulations in the brokerage contract, I had to say hello to Helen Herman and let her know.

Matthew explained the matter roughly and put the script on Helen Herman's desk, "This is the script, you should read it first."

Helen Herman flipped through the script, and Matthew sat on the sofa and waited patiently.

After a long period of time, Helen Herman looked up the script, raised her head and said, "This male lead is not suitable for you. From the setting to the scenes, it is not suitable for you unless it is changed."

She said casually, "It's almost the same as reversing Michael's and Serena's roles."

Matthew replied, "The heroine is Kate Beckinsale."

"The heroine of "Van Helsing"?" Helen Herman shook her head. "She is much more famous and appealing than you, so it is unlikely that she will change her role."

"It shouldn't be possible." Matthew remembered something. "Last time I went to the set of 'Van Helsing' I heard that Fox Sherman was pursuing Kate Beckinsale."

Helen Herman pushed the script back to Matthew, "Don't think about it, just reject that Fox Sherman." She also reminded, "Try to be tactful, listen to what you just said, this person has some abilities."

In this highly commercialized society, financial resources are part of competence.

Matthew picked up the script and was about to leave when Helen Herman suddenly thought of something and stopped him.

"Wait." She pointed to the script in Matthew's hand. "There is a small role of Serena when she was in her teens. Help me ask if there is a suitable actor?"

Matthew frowned slightly, "I ask? Is it appropriate?"

"Fox Sherman's intention is very clear, that is, he wants to borrow the fame that "Pirates of the Caribbean" may bring you after its success." Helen Herman sees the problem very clearly, "According to you, he is a newcomer. Investors who come to Hollywood have no roots in this circle, and an actor with a clear upward momentum like you is as valuable as Kate Beckinsale."

She was very relaxed. "Even if Fox-Sherman rejected you, it wouldn't mind. I don't think it's very likely that he would reject you if the character hasn't been cast yet."

"Then let me try." Matthew collected the script and asked, "Is it the girl Amanda brought?"

"It's her." Helen Herman didn't hide it. "Her father is a federal prosecutor in New York and has a good relationship with Amanda's father."

Matthew understood and said, "I'll call Fox Sherman tomorrow."

This kind of collusion between officials and businessmen is common all over the world.

The next morning, before Fox Sherman got up and was sleeping soundly with Kate Beckinsale, he received a call from Matthew.

"It's okay, Matthew."

Inside the hotel, Fox Sherman was not angry because of Matthew's tactful refusal, and his attitude was as enthusiastic as before, "This opportunity is not suitable, we will work together in the future, I am your fan."

The two exchanged a few words of courtesy. He heard Matthew's question about the actor, thought for a while, and said, "Actress, there are still a few characters left, female vampire Erika... Serena When I was a kid, I wasn't sure yet. Do you have the right person? Ah, yes. You asked her to audition for the cast, and I'd say hello to the casting director."

Fox Sherman's idea is very simple. Matthew Horner, like the woman he is holding, is very likely to become a popular movie star in the future. They belong to a very valuable group of investors like him. .

Serena as a child, an insignificant little character.

"Erika..."

Hearing this name, Matthew's head immediately appeared in the female character he had seen in the script yesterday, and he couldn't help thinking of Rachel McAdams, and said to the phone, "Fox, Erica has not yet confirmed the actor? I can Recommend someone? Okay, thank you, thank you very much! Don't worry, there's definitely nothing wrong with her appearance."

Just as Helen Herman expected, Fox Sherman treated him very well. Not only did he agree to let the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl Amanda brought to audition, but also his private goods, Rui. Autumn - McAdams did not refuse.

Then, Matthew called Rachel McAdams and told her the news. If she was interested, she could ask her agent to contact the casting director of the cast.

"Matthew, thank you!"

In the voice over the phone, Rachel McAdams looked very excited, "I don't even know how to thank you for helping me so much."
