Best Movie Star

Chapter 699: Become an Oscar judge

"The Expendables?" Matthew said, looking at a formal written invitation. "Is this Sylvester Stallone's new film?"

Helen Herman raised her head from behind the computer monitor and said, "The invitation letter he just sent yesterday invites you to play one of the leading roles in this film." She said simply, "The director of this film and the The first producers are all Stallone, invested and produced by Millennium Pictures, with a production budget of about 70 million to 80 million US dollars."

Matthew put the written invitation back on his desk and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I suggest rejecting it." Helen Herman didn't hesitate, and then explained, "Judging from the list of actors Stallone has invited, this is a typical old man's movie for old men, although it is a tough action guy. type, but it doesn't match your positioning at all."

Matthew nodded slowly, the "Expendables" in his impression seemed to be mainly about selling feelings and the like.

Helen Herman continued, "With so many action stars, how can you guarantee your role? Stallone is the director and first producer, he will let you be the first lead? Also, the production budget is so small, Is it enough to cover the cost of filming and production after paying your salary?"

Hearing her say this, Matthew said directly, "Find a reason why the schedule is not suitable, and let it go."

This film is really not suitable for him. If nothing else, staring in such a film with a bunch of outdated action stars is to tell the outside world that he is outdated?

Matthew feels that his shelf life will last for another 20 or 30 years is not a problem at all, and many big-name Hollywood actors are getting more and more popular as they get older.

Well, he's only twenty-eight now, and it's too early to think about the question of getting more popular with age.

Helen Herman retrieved the invitation letter, threw it into the wastebasket next to it, and said, "Didn't you tell me to pay attention to Plan B?"

Matthew asked, "Anything on Brad Pitt?"

"Just three days ago." Helen Herman gently pushed down her glasses and said unhurriedly, "Directed by Andrew Stanton, starring Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman "Battlefield" has started filming at Disney Studios."

"Well." Matthew nodded lightly, "I see."

Helen Herman glanced at Matthew and wanted to ask something, but finally endured it.

Matthew noticed, but some things couldn't be explained clearly, so he simply asked, "Is there anything else? I'm going back. I'm too tired to shoot this time. I'm going to rest for two days."

Helen Herman said, "There are things, and there are many things."

Matthew leaned back on the thick chair. "Tell me, hurry up."

He does get a little tired, and Karolina Kirkova's performance was pretty crazy last night...

Helen Herman spoke a little faster and said, "Four more things. Disney Studios has obtained the opportunity for the "Fast and the Furious" crew to participate in the Oscars next year, and may be the presenter of an important award; The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has sent you an official invitation to become an Academy member; don't forget to make a cameo on Hannah Montana in three days; and Christopher Nolan wants you to be there next week "Inception" crew reports."

Matthew tapped the armrest of the chair and made a quick decision, "Everything should be down."

The purpose of serving as an Oscar presenter is to promote "Fast and Furious 4". He intends to shoot this series for a long time. The success of "Fast and Furious 4" is very critical, and every opportunity to gain attention cannot be missed.

Although the ratings of the Oscars have been getting worse in recent years, and the average viewership has gradually dropped to over 30 million, no one can deny the degree of attention this industry event has received.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences invited him to join the Academy, which means that he will become one of the more than 6,000 Oscar judges in the future. This can also be accepted. There is no harm in becoming a member of the Academy. After all, like George Lucas, he will never join the Academy in his life. Famous filmmakers are still very rare.

"Who nominated me to join?" Matthew asked curiously.

The members of the academy are invited to join by the director committee of the academy, and they must have certain achievements in the film industry. Have special achievements in a certain field, or have made outstanding contributions to the development of the film industry.

In other words, the members of the academy are not necessarily film industry practitioners. Among the more than 6,000 members of the academy, there are bankers, journalists, IT elites and so on.

To be a candidate member invited by the Governing Committee, at least two existing members must be nominated.

Helen Herman said lightly, "Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley."

"These two guys..." Matthew couldn't help shaking his head, "Don't say hello to me, are you planning to surprise me?"

He asked Helen Herman, "After I agree to the invitation, when will I officially become a member of the Academy."

"Before December 30." Helen Herman roughly guessed Matthew's thoughts, "You will be in time for the Oscar selection."

Matthew nodded seriously, "I can finally try to vote blindfolded."

Helen Herman glanced at him and said, "You're so boring."

Matthew shrugged, "Don't most people vote like this?" He suddenly thought of one thing, "Will there be a candidate to canvass my PR?"

Helen Herman didn't understand what this meant, but felt that there was malicious intent behind this remark, and still said, "There should be, after all, your fame is here, maybe it can affect the voting choices of some people."

Hearing what she said, Matthew couldn't help but clapped his palm, "That's good."

He is now a member of the Screen Actors Guild and is seeking to join the Producers League, which is expected to be a member this month as "Twilight" has already been released and has been a huge success.

Then, he also has the corresponding voting rights in performance awards and film awards.

The Best Picture Award doesn't matter. The Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress awards seem to be fiercely contested.

The difference between actresses and actors is that they should be famous as soon as possible, and they should win awards as soon as possible, otherwise most people will have to stand aside when they are about forty years old.

Now that it's awards season, which actresses want to make a difference at the Oscars for acting? He can pay due attention.

But wouldn't that make it impossible to vote blindfolded? He still wanted to enjoy the feeling that most Oscar judges vote with their feet and blindfolded.

He will come on time for the "Hannah-Montana" crew at Disney Pictures and the "Inception" crew to report on time. The former has already promised Walt Disney, which is also conducive to the later cooperation between the two parties. The latter A formal agreement was signed, and there needed to be enough communication with Christopher Nolan before filming to get things done.

Before he left the Angel Agency, he called Christopher Nolan on purpose and had a brief chat. Currently, the crew of "Inception" is still in the early stages of preparation. In addition to confirming that he, the actor and the In addition to a few minor supporting roles, actors are still being selected for other roles.

Most of the actors who have been identified are British actors who have long cooperated with Christopher Nolan, such as Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy who have appeared in two Batman movies.

In addition, Ken Watanabe, who played a stand-in for the ninja master in "The Time of War", also joined the crew.

Christopher Nolan is currently auditioning for several male roles and two female roles, looking for suitable actors.

After calling Christopher Nolan, Matthew suddenly thought of James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. Maybe ask them if they are interested and recommend these two guys to Christopher Nolan.

Back at Horner Manor, Matthew called the two separately. James McAvoy originally wanted to find time to propose marriage this year, but he was busy with work and filming one after another, which could only be postponed for the time being; Michael Law Spinder is still the same~www.wuxiaspot.com~ girlfriends have changed one after another.

Both are very interested in Christopher Nolan's films, and the schedule for the first half of next year is also more suitable.

Matthew took the time to go to Warner Studios to find Christopher Nolan, who was busy with the preparatory work, and solemnly recommended James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to him.

It is well known that Christopher Nolan likes to use actors from the British Isles. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender are British, and the other grew up in Northern Ireland and have Irish citizenship. Exactly what Christopher Nolan wanted.

Because it was recommended by Matthew, Christopher Nolan happily agreed to let the two participate in the role audition after reading the information of the two.

Including him, they are not direct descendants of Christopher Nolan, and Matthew is quite satisfied with such a result.

After he recommended it, Christopher Nolan agreed to the role without even looking at James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender himself. There must be something wrong with Christopher Nolan's head.

The film will start shooting after the Oscars next year. According to Christopher Nolan's plan, the filming will be completed in no more than 100 days, and then it will be released in the summer of 2010.

Matthew has high hopes for the film "Inception", and after "Superman Hancock", he also needs a work that is as good as the box office.

For the next two days, he hid in the manor to rest. During the period, he also met with Charlize Theron and chatted about "The Hunger Games", and then came to the time agreed with Disney Pictures. Disney Studios, ready to make a cameo in "Hannah-Montana."
