It is definitely not an easy task for Hollywood's third-tier starlets to be the protagonists of a project with a production budget of around $25 million, which can be said to be quite a valuable resource for them, especially famous people like Sean Daniel. It is even more commendable that the producer personally invites to the door.

Matthew is different from ordinary third-tier stars. Now he is holding Jerry Bruckheimer's thigh. As one of the male protagonists, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been filmed. If all goes well, wait for "Pirates of the Caribbean" to be released. The box office has exploded, and it will steadily enter the ranks of the second-tier.

And he and Helen Herman are still eyeing Jerry Bruckheimer's new project, which is also a $100 million mega-production.

If the people who came to the door weren't Sean Daniel and Zach Snyder, he would have given Helen Herman a wink and asked her to find a way to push it away.

Sean Daniel has a good record in the past. The four or five films that have been launched and produced recently may have a good reputation, but they have achieved commercial success without exception, and they have also won a lot of actors.

For Matthew, he can be regarded as a gift of knowledge. Although this is a circle that pays attention to business interests, human relationships cannot be ignored either.

And Zach - Snyder, Matthew thinks more and farther.

Compared to Sean Daniel, who only knows the past and doesn't know the future, Matthew remembers that Zack Snyder's future is very good. An advertising director, his fame rose after moving to Hollywood, at least one thing is said, Zach Snyder The first film of the career change was absolutely successful, and it must have made a lot of profit for the film company, otherwise there would be no such good resources in the future.

If Zach Snyder's first film fails, even if he's an advertising superhero, it's hard to get a second chance in Hollywood.

The problem is that he hadn't seen Zack Snyder's first movie and didn't know the specifics.

But a reliable producer, a director who should be reliable, and a script that uses him as a prototype to create an absolute protagonist, it sounds like it is still very reliable.

More importantly, he knows that there is a recognized action classic behind Zack Snyder, and the influence is also very large. If he establishes a cooperative relationship with Zack Snyder now, it will definitely be beneficial to cooperate again in the future.

For example, he starred in "Black Hawk Down", which left a good impression on Jerry Bruckheimer. When he competed for a small blacksmith later, this impression also gave him a lot of extra points.

There are definitely risks, but who can guarantee a 100% success in a movie? Neither can Jerry Bruckheimer?

Matthew is still considering that the investment in the film is not large, and it seems that it does not have the attractiveness of a big production of 100 million US dollars, but it also has corresponding benefits. It is easier to make a return at the box office. Once the film can make a return through the box office, according to the general Hollywood rules, in The studios will certainly be placed in the ranks of success.

The film was a success at the box office, and the starring naturally benefited a lot.

However, he never took the initiative to say anything, and this kind of thing should be done by an agent.

"Matthew, Helen, we've had a great time working together."

Sean Daniel knows that Matthew Horner and Helen Herman are smart people, they can guess some things if he doesn't say it, and it seems more sincere to say it, "The reason why I look for Matthew instead of Who else, in addition to our past cooperation and mutual trust and friendship, there is a little other consideration."

He looked at Matthew, then at Helen Herman, and said, "We are friends, so I don't want to hide from you. This remake of "Dawn of the Living Dead" will start filming in August and September at the earliest. Early next year, when Pirates of the Caribbean comes out."

Helen Herman certainly understands the meaning behind this, saying, "Pirates of the Caribbean may also fail."

"But according to my judgment, the probability of success is greater." Sean Daniel is particularly frank, "Any investment has risks, and I don't think the risk this time is high in comparison."

There are some things that don't need to be said in depth, we are all smart people.

Sean Daniel seems to be very adaptable to the current situation. In the past, he dominated Matthew, but now he needs to impress Matthew with a sincere attitude...

In fact, he is very clear that, given the current situation, it is quite difficult to find a third-tier starlet with a special situation like Matthew.

Although it is clear that he is preparing to rub off on the possible popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the future, it is difficult for people to be disgusted by Sean Daniel's frankness, especially for Matthew, Sean Daniel's frankness and Fox-Xie Mann's secrecy is a stark contrast.

Facing an old acquaintance like Sean Daniel, Matthew couldn't keep silent all the time. He glanced at Helen Herman and saw that she had no objection, and said, "Sean, we are friends and have worked closely together before. Partner, I also hope to continue working with you."

Helen Herman, who was drinking water, suddenly put the cup on the coffee table and made a soft sound.

Matthew knew that she was reminding himself, and said, "But there is no script right now, so I can't give you an answer right away. Can you wait until I see the script?"

He was equally candid.

Helen Herman did not speak. Although Matthew's previous words were a bit too much, he advanced and retreated properly in the back, which not only showed his sincerity, but also gave himself enough retreat.

Sean Daniel pondered for a while and said, "Yes. After the first draft of the script is completed, I will let someone contact you as soon as possible."

Although he didn't get Matthew's promise, the result was not bad. He basically achieved the purpose of this trip. He knew very well that Matthew is no longer the young actor who starred in "The Mummy Returns" and "The Scorpion King". Now, he can't even be measured by the standard of a third-tier star. With the capital of a super production like "Pirates of the Caribbean" that is likely to be successful, Matthew should be regarded as a quasi second-tier star.

Most of what he said was not polite. For example, when "The Mummy Returns" and "The Scorpion King" were released, Universal Pictures' market research showed that Matthew's good image and temperament were very popular with the public, especially as a film market. Teenage audience of consumer subjects.

When Matthew becomes a second-tier star, his appeal will inevitably rise sharply, which can bring more attention to a relatively alternative theme such as "Dawn of the Living Dead".

This is also the main reason why he is willing to take the risk of offending George-A-Romero, veto his script design, and start a new one.

Compared to the soon-to-be-blooming Matthew Horner, George-A-Romero is outdated among the teenage audience that is the mainstay of the movie market.

For the next half hour, the two sides chatted for a while, and then Sean Daniel and Zach Snyder said their goodbyes, and Matthew and Helen Herman kept sending them out of the agency's door.

"Matthew!" Zach Snyder said to Matthew before he left, "I'm really looking forward to working with you again."

"Me too." Matthew was very warm to him.

If everything is normal, Zach Snyder will be able to shine with great brilliance in the future. Not to mention those superhero movies, Three Hundred Red Pants seems to have a very good reputation and box office, and it is also in line with his play style.

He vaguely remembered that the film was a few years later, and although it was also an epic in ancient costumes, if there were no new costumed characters in the next few years, it should not have too many restrictive effects.

This is exactly what Matthew's advantage lies in. If you change to another super resource like "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is possible to continue to hold Jerry Bruckheimer, a third-tier star with golden thighs, and may directly confront Sean - Daniel and Zach Snyder scoffed, but he was more concerned about the future.

To become a superstar, you need to accumulate one successful work after another.

Not everyone is as lucky as Leonardo and Kate Winslet. The ship sank, but they soared into the sky. Of course, if the two of them get on the ship together in the future, the ship will still sink and be crushed.

The classic lines inside can also be changed: "You.fat, I.fat!"

"Matthew..."

Back in the office, Helen Herman interrupted Matthew's wild thoughts, "What do you think?"

Matthew sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and said, "This is a bit sudden, and there is no script, I think it's better to delay it for a while, and it's not too late to make a decision after seeing the script~www.wuxiahere.com~ He After a little pondering, he said, "Sean is a very reliable producer. "

"I admit this." Helen Herman returned to the back of her desk, "Although Sean is not a gold medal producer, among the first-line producers, success is far higher than failure, and recently The works of several years have all achieved box office success without exception.”

"Helen, what do you think?" Matthew asked directly.

"I have three doubts," Helen Herman said directly. "First, director Zach Snyder is a complete film novice! Second, the film is a remake, and remaking a classic has certain risks. Third, zombies Movies are not mainstream Hollywood genres.”

Matthew nodded, and what Helen Herman said was a very realistic situation.

Helen Herman said at this time, "Of course, the advantages are also obvious. The first is the producer. Sean is very reliable, which is the basis for the success of a film. Secondly, the film does not lack audiences. There are a large number of zombies in North America. For the audience of the film, as long as the quality of the film is good, the box office should not be a problem. Also, the investment in the film is not high, and the pressure to make money back will not be less.”

She tapped her fingers slowly on the table and said, "Finally, if the male lead plays a prominent role and the film is successful, it can prove your ability to carry the box office alone, which Pirates of the Caribbean does not have."

Matthew is also seriously considering what Helen Herman said. There are some things he can't mention to Helen Herman. He can't say that in order to have a good relationship with Zach Snyder, he should consider accepting this invitation, right?

"We'll wait until the script is received," Helen Herman said naturally. "It would be very stupid to give Sean an answer before Pirates of the Caribbean was released."

She then changed the subject, "It's Disney's carnival in a few days, don't forget to attend."
