Less than a week later, the owner of the house in Burbank came to Los Angeles from Europe and completed a real estate transaction with Matthew. Matthew owned his own real estate in the United States. It is said that men who have a house are really attractive.

Although he gradually got used to the life here, Matthew took the house and was in a good mood. He deliberately gave this small house a name.

However, he couldn't think of any elegant name, so he named it after the ivy on the outer wall.

The home's name has since become Ivy.

On the day Matthew was named, Zach Snyder, who has gradually become famous in the film circle, came to the door.

"Finished with research?"

In the living room, Matthew brought a glass of water to Zach Snyder, Zach Snyder untied the briefcase he was carrying, put it on the coffee table, and said, "I have studied carefully, this illustration by Frank Miller. Fiction, very suitable for my style adaptation!"

He took the water glass from Matthew, and after thanking him, he said, "Leonidas, the protagonist in the illustration novel, is a born hero, a character tailored for you."

Matthew sat down on the other sofa and said, "I read the graphic novel too, and I really like Leonidas."

"So, Matthew." Zach Snyder said before, to set the stage for now, "Let's work together again! You know my philosophy, and you know what I want to do! I know you too. characteristics, and know what kind of role you can play best.”

"Zach, I told you before." Matthew said very sincerely, "We have the same philosophy and will not continue to cooperate.

If so, God would not agree. "

"You're right!" Zach Snyder visibly relieved, "We must continue to work together."

He knows that it is difficult for his ideas to be recognized by the industry. If he does not attract a person who is big enough and powerful enough, these ideas will be difficult to realize. In the end, he can only be like "Dawn of the Living Dead". Videos of his style.

Matthew turned to the topic and asked, "Zach, have you studied the Interjection Novel and have any specific ideas?"

Zach Snyder opened the briefcase, took out a few drawings, and handed them to Matthew, "I already have a frame."

After taking the draft, Matthew opened it and looked at it. These are several enlarged versions of the split-shot artwork. The tone and background of the artwork are very similar to what Zach Snyder used to remember in the film.

There were not many drawings, only five, but when he saw the last one, his eyes lit up.

The last few of the three hundred warriors who fought to the end died in a rush of arrows. It should be the strong man of Leonidas who was shot with arrows, still roaring in anger.

The content is very ordinary, but with the unique tones of the painting, it gives people a kind of tragic and solemn.

Even when Matthew looked at this sketch, he felt far more than the painting in the art exhibition a few days ago. The hero is not necessarily the one who has the last laugh. The sketch is a massacre of the Spartans by the Persians, but it is shocking. .

If nothing else, Zach Snyder's painting skills are quite good.

Of course, this is only Matthew's point of view. In the painting world, Zack Snyder's tragic sketches may not be worth the inexplicable lines of those postmodern painters.

Matthew stared at the draft, and suddenly remembered the information about Frank Miller, the original author, which he found specially. Tragic heroic epics are the type that Frank Miller is best at creating, and his representative works are always full of tragic heroes.

For example, in the famous comic "The Return of the Black Knight", which supported the legend of Batman in an era, the old Bruce Wayne had been retired for many years, but for various reasons had to return to the arena and fight against various evil forces. The climax scene , is the aging hero fighting his former comrade-in-arms Superman.

The characters that Frank Miller is best at creating are those tragic heroes who, no matter how hard they try, are hopelessly lost to fate in the end. They lose the final battle, but win hearts and minds.

There is no doubt that Leonidas was that type.

"I was in touch with Frank Miller last month," Zach Snyder said, seeing Matthew look away from the storyboard. "I asked him about buying the rights to a parody novel."

Matthew immediately put down the drawing and asked, "Did he agree to sell it?"

Zach Snyder shook his head, "Frank Miller rejected me." He thought for a moment, then elaborated, "I went to New York specifically last month and found Frank Miller and wanted to talk to him about cooperation, but Frank -Miller is very repulsive. He said that the three hundred warriors of "Sparta" mean a lot to him, and they are the shining pinnacle of his career. He can't tolerate himself-->>, the fastest update is the best Movie Star's latest chapter!

's brainchild was adapted into a boring film like "Troy". "

"What about the price increase?" Matthew said directly, "We can jointly fund and buy the film adaptation rights of this illustrated novel."

Zach Snyder shook his head again, "It's not about money, and Frank Miller is not short of money. Although buying the rights to the adaptation will definitely cost a lot of money, it can't impress Frank Miller, even if we offer a thousand Frank Miller wouldn't necessarily sell us the adaptation rights for a high price of $10,000."

Matthew crossed his chest with one hand and raised his chin with the other, thinking.

Zach Snyder has talked to Matthew about funding before, knowing that he has a large amount of money in his hands. If Frank Miller nods, it will definitely not be a problem for the two to cooperate to buy the film rights of "Three Hundred Spartans" .

"Do you have any good way to convince Frank Miller?" Matthew asked.

Once Zack Snyder can direct this film, no matter who the producer is, he must have persuaded Frank Miller. It is estimated that Frank Miller himself also recognized the director of Zack Snyder.

"I have an idea, but the cost is a bit high." Zach Snyder glanced at Matthew and saw that he had no objection, and continued, "Frank Miller is most worried about the style after the adaptation of the film, so As long as we dispel his doubts in this regard, it will be much smoother to discuss later."

He picked up the glass, took a sip of water, and said, "That's what I planned. I shot a few shots in the same style as the illustration, and let Frank Miller see it for himself. Maybe it will impress him."

Matthew thought for a while and said, "Yes, this is also a way."

Zach Snyder put down the glass, smiled, and said, "The shooting is done on a green screen, and then I will find a special effects studio to handle it. The cost of shooting can be borne by me, but I need actors, who are very good actors."

Without thinking about it, Matthew said, "Since we want to cooperate, I will be an actor for you."

Zach Snyder nodded, "Matthew, with you, it's even more convincing."

"That's it..." Matthew quickly made a decision, "My stylist can be temporarily used for make-up during filming, and we can hire other actors. As for the venue, I have a good relationship with Disney Pictures, and temporarily rent Disney production. Shooting in the studio's small studio for a few days is no problem."

He paused for a while, and then said, "But the shooting will take a while, and I have work to do recently."

"I know, you have to prepare to shoot 'Mrs. Smith'." Zach Snyder has been following Matthew's developments, which is the greatest guarantee that he can make an ideal movie, "Our shooting can wait until after 'Mrs. Smith' is done. After that, I have to do some preparatory work.”

Although it was only a few test shots, there was also a lot of preparation to do, such as renting cameras, designing scenes, contacting special effects studios, and more.

Zach Snyder saw that Matthew fully supported him, and he had made up his mind to try it even if he used up the salary he got for directing "Dawn of the Living Dead".

"Okay." Matthew considered it for a while, and then said, "Zach, if you need my help, you can speak."

He also has his own calculations. If he can jointly buy the film adaptation rights of "Three Hundred Spartans" with Zack Snyder, when he cooperates with the film company, he will have a certain negotiation cost. Maybe he can also serve as a producer. , and bring funds into the group.

"Spartan 300" can make Zack Snyder popular, and let his typical Zack Snyder style get into top productions like "Batman v Superman", which is sure to be a box office hit.

It just so happens that he still has a large amount of cash flow in his hands. If he invests in a movie starring him, it should be feasible.

Of course, Matthew also knows that this is not easy. After all, if he gets the adaptation rights, he will be able to impress other film companies. He and Zack Snyder do not have the capital and ability to make films alone, let alone distribution that is far more important than production. .

In fact, the most ideal state is that Zach Snyder can impress Frank Miller, and then he starred in "National Treasure" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" which sold well at the box office, so that even if he can't reach the first-line position, he can be infinitely close. Successive success will also make the film company confident in him, and it will be easier to talk about cooperation.

Matthew and Zach Snyder spent an entire afternoon in the living room talking about a lot of specific things.

Frankly speaking, Matthew's professionalism outside the actor is very poor, so after sending Zack Snyder away, he immediately contacted Helen Herman, and went to the Angel Agency to chat with Helen Herman until nearly midnight. time.

Compared to Matthew, who is half-baked, Helen Herman is undoubtedly a true professional. She is also somewhat interested in this project. She is going to chat with Zach Snyder in person, and tell Matthew, in this regard For the time being, she will follow up on the matter, and he still focuses on the shooting of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".
