Three days later, Brown Williams gave Matthew a clear reply, willing to serve as his personal bodyguard and stay in Los Angeles for a long time, rather than being sent to the security company as before, which is very attractive to Brown Williams.

Of course, double salary income is a very critical factor.

After signing the bodyguard agreement with Brown Williams, Matthew met with Helen Hermann to meet Amanda who came from New York for a whole afternoon and basically finalized the cooperation.

Although Amanda's family is not among the top rich in New York, her father also has a charitable foundation dedicated to tax avoidance. After graduation, Amanda worked at the foundation for a considerable period of time and had some experience.

With Amanda joining, the construction of his two charitable foundations will also be accelerated. Amanda has even planned to use a large-scale charity auction as the establishment ceremony of the two foundations, and must make a name for themselves.

Of course, the source of funds for such charitable foundations is not Matthew paid out for it, but mainly through charitable fundraising. The reward for hiring professionals is quite high. Even if there is no secret operation, the charitable foundation can also draw a considerable proportion of the funds raised for its own personnel employment and administrative office expenses and other management expenses.

The legislation on supervising non-profit institutions here is relatively loose. Each charitable organization will report in detail to the IRS the source and expenditure of this year and the ins and outs of the funds for various activities to the IRS. This is mainly to check whether the activities of the charitable organization comply with the tax exemption regulations.

However, there are no strict regulations on how charitable organizations use the donations raised, and they rely largely on self-discipline.

And there are no laws that impose rigid regulations on the expenditure ratio.

Amanda told Matthew an example. In 1992, the United Charity Foundation broke out related scandals. Seventy percent of the funds raised by the private charity were used to pay employees' salaries and various expenses, and less than four percent were used for charity, and the whereabouts of the remaining money were unknown.

However, without relevant laws imposed sanctions on them, the United Charity Foundation lost only credibility and reputation.

Of course, Matthew will definitely not do this. In the future, the charity foundation will spend most of its money on charity, in addition to its own expenses.

“Amanda has returned to New York.”

In the office of Angel Brokerage, Helen Hermann told Matthew about his recent work matters, "I guess he will come back next week and then participate in the preparation of the charity foundation."

Matthew nodded and said, "This way you can focus more on your job."

In fact, this is also beneficial to him.

Helen Hermann did not talk much about this and changed the topic. "It has been half a month since the New Year, and statistics from all aspects have basically been released last year."

She pushed a document to Matthew.

Matthew sat leaning on the chair, looking lazy, and said, "Just say it."

"Okay." Helen Hermann recalled a little, and said, "Let's talk about endorsement first. The two major brands you endorse, Mercedes-Benz G-Class off-road vehicle, officially changed your advertising in June last year, and its global sales have increased by 6.5%.

"Sounds good," Matthew said.

“Although it is impossible to break down how much your endorsement plays,” Helen Herman continued, “but it’s a good thing for us to rise in sales.”

She thought about it and said, "The sales in Greater China have increased the most significantly, reaching ten percentage points."

Matthew remembers that there should be many very wealthy people on the other side of the Pacific Ocean at this time, and the consumption of luxury cars or luxury goods soared there, which should be a normal situation.

Helen Hermann said, "According to Mercedes-Benz statistics, you have a considerable popularity and influence among the elites over there."

"Oh..." Matthew seemed very calm.

It is not surprising to think about it. Hollywood movies have the greatest influence over the place. Movies like him who specialize in business and action are often the most popular.

Moreover, in this era, the influence of foreign monks on the other side of the Pacific Ocean chanting scriptures was still common.

"In general," Helen Hermann concluded, "Mercedes-Benz is still very satisfied with your image spokesperson."

She continued, "In contrast, Rolex's performance growth is not obvious. Rolex's market share is already very high, and it is very difficult to grow rapidly. In the short term, you will only serve as the print spokesperson of Rolex and it will be difficult to become an advertising spokesperson."

"It's okay." Matthew was very open-minded, "at least there are free Rolex watches to wear."

Helen Hermann glanced at him and continued, "I am currently trying to find a way to endorse your clothing for you, and it may take a little longer. Also, after the release of "Mr. Smiths", some manufacturers have taken the initiative to look for us, and I will select high-end products that are truly suitable for you."

Matthew had no objection, "You can do it in this regard."

"There is the film aspect." Helen Hermann obviously learned in detail. "The basic pay for the two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been paid in place. According to the salary contract you signed with Disney Pictures, the initial basic pay totals of $19 million."

"What a lot of money." Matthew sighed, thought for a while, and said, "In this way, Helen, in addition to your agent's commission, you intercept the cost of establishing a charitable foundation."

The remaining money was enough for him to pay off his mortgage loan at Horner Manor, and he only paid the down payment at the beginning.

Helen Hermann continued to talk about films, "You only have one movie "Smiths" released this year. At present, this film is temporarily ranked third in the North American box office rankings in 2005, but Disney Pictures' "The Legend of Narnia" is still being released. If nothing unexpected happens, North American box office will surpass "Smiths", and "Smiths" should rank fourth in the box office list last year."

Speaking of this, she rarely smiled on her face, "Since 2003, you have been starring in a row in the top ten of the North American box office annual list, which shows that you are a veritable first-line movie star."

Matthew thought about it and said, "I guess next year will be no exception. "Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Cave" will be released next year. If the filming and production of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" goes well, it may also catch up with next year's schedule."

Helen Hermann continued, "Warner Bros. initially scheduled the schedule for early December next year, but it has not been completely confirmed yet. We have to wait for Jack and Zach Schneider to come up with more detailed shooting plans."

Hearing this, Matthew couldn't help pinching his forehead, "Zach Schneider and Curt Johnstad have not completed the script yet..."

"Curter Johnstad is a very serious and rigorous person." Helen Hermann also had a headache. "Currently, there are some differences with Zach about the script. Zach believes that the main plot is best to restore the comics, but Curter Johnstad insists that a certain adaptation must be made. The two have different opinions, which is also the reason for the difficult delivery of the script."

Matthew frowned slightly, "If it really doesn't work, just fire him."

Helen Herman shook his head, "This is the last choice, and it is normal for differences in the script to create the script."

Matthew spread his hands, "Then we can only wait?"

Helen Hermann held his glasses, "As far as I know, the script has not been completed, but it is very fast." She said, "The first draft of the script is completed, and David Ellison and Jack will be delivered to you as soon as possible."

In fact, Matthew didn't wait any longer. In less than late January, Jack and Zach Schneider called him one after another to inform the first draft of the script of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" had been completed. Matthew happened to deal with some of the affairs of the charity foundation with Amanda who was rushing back to Los Angeles, so he simply asked the two to send the script to Helen Herman.

The next day when he returned to Los Angeles, Matthew met a copy of the script in the archives of Angels Agency.

Matthew has read the script. The main plot of the script is basically the same as the movies I have watched, and the description of the Spartans and the Battle of Hot Springs is as exaggerated.

Whether it is the script or Frank Miller's comics, of course, it is very different from the records in historical documents.

When he was filming "Pirates of the Caribbean" last year, Matthew had checked specific historical information and realized how exaggerated the illustration novel was.

In historical data, the battle of Hot Spring Pass was participated in the battle of 300 Spartan soldiers and 6,400 Greek Allied troops.

Hot Spring Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is not conducive to the deployment of large troops. The Persian tactics are mainly light-mounted projection infantry, and they can only helplessly use oil-added tactics to beat the heavy-mounted Spartan infantry.

Historically, the Spartans were not half-naked in illustrators, nor were they all naked as Frank Miller said. They were basically heavy armor.

Zach Schneider told Matthew that this illustration novel is just Frank Miller who wants to draw a passionate and wild magical skin after reading the ancient Greek murals, so of course it will not be too realistic regardless of the tone or content of the comic...

In short, this film is definitely not a historical film, but a standard commercial entertainment film. It will definitely not be based on real historical creations. Matthew just watched it as a foreigner's "The Romance of the Gods".

Not to mention anything else, Xerxes in Frank Miller's comics are a bald head who likes to wear gold chains and not wear clothes. Matthew once saw someone complaining at that time that he had been bare and not wearing a hat on the Iranian plateau, and his bald head would be burned by the sun...

Of course, movies are movies, and they are different from history.
