Chapter two hundred and seventy fourth money game

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

Matthew looked up at Helen Herman and asked, "What do you think?"

If you only read the script when choosing a project, it is as unreliable as a film company that only reads the script when it is determined that the project is only read the script. If you only see the script and rush up, you may not even cry in the future.

An excellent script may not necessarily turn into an excellent movie, and a bad script may not necessarily turn into a bad movie. As long as you have a little understanding of the film industry, you will know that this is a very simple truth.

"So that." Helen Hermann did not answer directly, but said, "As far as I know, the day after Steven Spielberg received the script, he called Michael Bay to discuss the possibility of Michael Bay shooting this film as a director. Michael Bay responded at three o'clock in the morning."

Matthew nodded, "Steven Spielberg is optimistic about this project."

"Well." Helen Hermann responded and said, "Dreamworks is in a bad situation now, and plans to invest $120 million in this project, which is enough to prove this."

Matthew didn't speak. Combined with the script, he recalled again that he only remembered watching "The War of the Clone". Other Hollywood movies related to the Clone seem to be gone.

When recalling the movies related to Michael Bay, most of the memories are "Transformers", which is a super brainless popcorn series that explodes more than one, a simpler plot than one, and a more brainless super brainless popcorn series.

If you remember well, Michael Bay would only have "Transformers" to support the scene later. I still remember when "Transformers 4" and "Transformers 5" were released, domestic media were filled with curses and complaints, and they all said that Michael Bay had finished his life.

Anyway, the videos of Michael Bay that he watched at that time were definitely synonymous with simple and brainless popcorn. Michael Bay himself was nicknamed Explosion Bay. His videos never discuss in-depth issues, just pure entertainment.

But looking at this script, Matthew has a little doubt. Is this kind of plot and reaction clone problem? Compared to Michael Bay's movie in my impression, is it a little too complicated?

Apart from the movie "Breaking into the Deadly Island", aren't the rest of the movie "Breaking into the Deadly Island" all looking for a very tangy plot, and they're blown from beginning to end?

Thinking of this, Matthew immediately spoke to Helen Herman with the advice of what he could say.

Helen Hermann thought about it carefully for a while after listening to Matthew's words, and then said, "It seems that it is true." She paused for a while, and said, "I heard from the people inside DreamWorks that Michael Bay assured Spielberg that the film would find a balance between entertainment and humanity and humanity, and that he seemed to think deeply about many moral issues during this clone journey."

For some reason, Matthew felt a sense of absurdity. If he told Helen Hermann's words to those who had watched the "Transformers" series, I'm afraid many people would go crazy, right?

Matthew simply said directly, "I think...I think this matter seems very unreliable?"

Helen Herman thought for a while and said, "It is possible that Michael Bay wants to take this opportunity to transform."

Compared to Matthew, Helen Hermann has much stronger ability to judge scripts and many aspects, and can even be said to be quite outstanding. Most of the time, he is quite accurate in making some decisions.

But it can't stop Matthew from cheating. Even if the director is a household name like Michael Bay, he can analyze whether the film may succeed or fail based on the future situation.

If the probability of failure is greater than success, in his current situation, there is no need to take it.

Just as Helen Herman said, with the Pirates of the Caribbean series as the foundation, he would rather be insignificant than indiscriminate.

"Helen..." Matthew said again, "In Pearl Harbor, Michael Bay also claimed to transform, but the result..."

He turned to say, "I think the most amazing thing about Michael Bay is that he can make all kinds of films into pure brainless action movies."

"Do you have an idea?" Helen Hermann asked.

"Yes." Matthew stopped going around the circle and directly expressed his doubts. "I think it's okay to work with a director who can make an explosive action movie in anything, but it would be terrifying to add in-depth content to the film and to incorporate a lot of humanistic thinking..."

If Michael Bay was asked to film "The Devil", Charlize Theron would definitely take up a bomb and blow the victims into the sky after some struggle.

Helen Hermann thought about it for a long time and said, "Don't rush to turn it off first. It's not too late for us to make a decision after I collect more information."

Matthew nodded and said nothing more. He understood what Helen Herman meant.

After all, this is a super-large first-line production. Nowadays, Hollywood often has no ten films investing more than $100 million a year. It can be said that the resources are very tight. Such invitations are rare. If it weren't for the super box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" and Will Turner was very popular, he wouldn't have gotten such an audition at all.

As a very confident agent, Helen Hermann could not have heard Matthew say a few doubts and hurriedly gave up such a good opportunity. After all, this is completely different from Ridley Scott's project and Matthew's recent needs. The type of action science fiction films is very in line with Matthew's current development needs.

Matthew could not tell Helen Herman directly the source of his doubts, nor could he say it out loud. He could only say that it was based on the videos taken by Michael Bay in the past.

This reduces persuasiveness accordingly.

However, he had made up his mind that no matter what the information Helen Herman collected, he would find a way to mess up this audition. Anyway, he was the one who went to the audition.

In terms of real analytical and judgment skills, Helen Herman is undoubtedly much better than him, but the advantages he has are something Helen Hermann cannot have.

Although Michael Bay only has a very good script this time, everyone knows that a good script cannot be directly equated with a good movie.

Indeed, without good creative materials, even a strong director cannot make a good movie.

But in this world where everything can be seen, there is actually no "bad theme" in the absolute sense, only "bad movies" in the general sense. That is to say, no matter what the subject is, even if it is recognized as an excellent subject, many directors will have bad films and finished the post-production editing.

Looking at the vast history of Hollywood movies, there are many films that have ruined a good theme and a high-quality setting. They may not be the kind of super bad movies, but they are definitely not successful.

If a good script is not produced, it is better than a good movie. Not to mention it in Hollywood, it is still common worldwide.

Cloning is a good subject. If the script Matthew got was simple and brainless, and it was bombarded in a burst of bombing, the male protagonist was like a cheating killer, and the hero never looked back and watched the explosion... In addition, the director was Michael Bay, so he would never have doubts now.

Michael Bei is playing with humanistic thinking, let’s forget it.

Throughout January, in addition to preparing for "National Treasure", Matthew's main job was to cooperate with Disney Pictures' Oscar promotion.

As the time to be announced for the Oscar nomination list is getting closer. Films that intend to hit Oscars, actors and directors jump up and down through the media almost every day to attract the attention of judges as much as possible. At this time, Hollywood cannot be described as chaos, and various farces are constantly being staged around Oscar public relations.

Rather than saying that this is an art award, it is a money-spending game. Whoever spends more money can create the biggest sound and receive the most praise from the media and critics.

Almost all Oscar seeds are praising themselves and belittling their competitors.

For example, as Charlize Theron, who has a very high call for Best Actress in this year's Oscar, critics criticized her on TV shows: The drama is so narrow that it is outrageous, and she can't do anything except poker faces, and she always looks sexual and cold on the screen...

Any Hollywood star can find 100% of the black material if you want to be shady.

Therefore, the public relations war before each Academy Awards ceremony is still the season when celebrities have the most black news.

Matthew also has a lot of black material. If you really want to calculate it, it will probably be as high as the Hollywood Mountains. However, he did not actually participate in this Oscar game. Even if "Pirates of the Caribbean" is eye-catching, the focus of the attack is still on Johnny Depp.

Even Uncle Laden came to join in the fun. Al Qaeda members claimed that they were preparing to send a speech at this year's Oscars, which made Hollywood silence instantly. The FBI and the CIA looked at each other, and the Los Angeles County Police Department also claimed that it would provide the most comprehensive security for the Oscars.

Until now, Disney Pictures has not informed Matthew whether he would win him a place in the Oscars. Matthew has malicious speculation that if Uncle Laden really made a speech at the Oscars, many Hollywood stars would probably be grateful to him.

Maybe he can jump into a superstar himself.

Every year after the New Year, it belongs to the awards season and the Oscar world, and news about the Oscars occupy most of the film's coverage.

This is also when many old men who have been forgotten by the audience show their influence. If the film and characters want to win the award, they must first comply with a series of rules they have set.

At the same time, this is also the season for them to harvest.

Helen Herman once told Matthew that young and active veteran movie stars can earn a lot of money. If you want to win the prize, you have to take out real money for promotion and public relations, and then let a large group of people share it.

To some extent, this is also cutting wool.
