Chapter 426 The common problem of Russian women
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
"alright!"
In the dark studio, the lights suddenly lit up, and someone shouted loudly, "Fixed!"
Matthew looked up at the lights that were lit up again, took the towel handed over by Bella Anderson to wipe the remaining sweat from his forehead, and shook his head slightly, "The equipment of Warner Studios is aging."
Helen Hermann, who came to the set today, replied, "I feel like I can enter the museum."
But as soon as the words fell, the lights in the studio flashed a few times and went out again, and the entire set of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" fell into darkness again.
"Damn it!" Director Zach Schneider's roar rang, "Can you still fix it!"
Then, the emergency power supply illuminated, and there were finally lights in the huge studio.
Zach Schneider was a rare fire, "Bayson, can you fix it today?"
The person named Besen was the head of the crew's logistics support department. He immediately ran over with sweat and said, "The entire supporting line has aging. Depending on the current situation, it needs to be replaced."
When Matthew heard this, he said to Bella Anderson behind him, "Pack up the things, let's go."
He used to work on the construction site and knew that changing such a route was quite troublesome. It was already half an afternoon and there was no need to wait.
Bella Anderson was busy packing things, and Helen Herman stood up and said, "It just so happens that I have something to talk to you."
Matthew nodded, and just as he was about to respond, Zach Schneider's voice came from the set, "How long will it take to fix it?"
Besen quickly replied, "My people have already contacted the studio's management, I promise! I will definitely return to normal tomorrow!"
Matthew also stood up from the chair. After a brief pause, Zach Schneider said loudly, "So far today, finish work now! Shooting will start on time at 9:00 tomorrow morning!"
No one wants to encounter such unexpected situations. If they occur, they can only make appropriate adjustments to the shooting plan. Fortunately, the shooting has been smooth since the start of the shooting. The shooting progress is already ahead of the plan, so there is no need to worry about too many delays.
There was no power in the studio, so Matthew simply went to the temporary dressing room in the trailer outside to take off his makeup, sat on the special Mercedes-Benz driven by Brown Williams at the door of the studio, and went directly to the Angel Agency with Helen Hermann.
After entering Helen Herman's office, Matthew first took a glass of water, then pulled out the chair and sat down, asking, "What's the matter that can't be discussed with the car on the set?"
Helen Herman sat opposite him and said, "What was the physical examination you told me last time?"
Last time Matthew called her, she thought it was a normal physical examination at first, until she saw the gossip that was popular recently in the tabloid newspaper, and she couldn't help but make other guesses.
So, she asked again, "Are you caught?"
Instead of answering, Matthew asked, "If I get caught, what advice do you have?"
Hearing Matthew's tone, Helen Herman knew he was fine and deliberately said, "Cut it off directly."
Matthew was speechless for a moment, scratched his head, and after a while, he said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm very healthy."
Helen Herman nodded and said directly, "You are picking up girls and I have never interfered with it."
Matthew thought about it and found that this was true. Apart from his first girlfriend who was seriously dating, Helen Hermann basically did not interfere too much in his private life in the future.
"This is the norm in the circle, and I, as an agent, cannot limit you too much in this regard." Helen Herman continued, "and you have always been a person who knows priorities."
She reminded seriously, "Prepare protective measures. If you get AIDS, you will be done."
"Don't worry." Matthew was more vigilant and cared more, "I cherish my body very much."
If it weren't for this consideration and the threat of another scissors hanging over his head, he would have found more than a dozen female models from Liszt and had a carnival party.
Seeing Matthew's attitude, Helen Herman was relieved, took the initiative to change the topic, and said, "Warner Brothers has been hyping "The Three Hundred Warriors" and "I Am Legend" for your $20 million salary, and the effect is pretty good."
Matthew nodded slightly, and he also understood these things.
Helen Hermann also said, "Disney Pictures also contacted me for the promotional consideration of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Casket". It is estimated that it will join in soon."
"There are two companies, Disney and Warner Bros.," Matthew couldn't help laughing, "Is my fame going to rise again?"
Helen Herman stretched out a finger and gently pushed his glasses down, saying, "The 20 million club itself represents a huge fame and a very high status."
Now, she has gradually confirmed that Matthew has a considerable chance of crossing the threshold of the first line and super giants and becoming a superstar, provided that "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" and "I Am a Legend" can be sold at the box office, and the next few films can also be hit at the box office.
For some reason, she believed Matthew could do it, just like all of the previous five films were so popular at the box office.
Helen Hermann couldn't tell where this confidence came from, but Matthew did give her such confidence.
However, she has all been excluded from the two films "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Casket" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World". The first protagonist of these two films is Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow, and Matthew's Will Turner's role is very heavy, but it cannot be compared with the captain. This is a film series belonging to Captain Jack Sparrow, not Will Turner's Blacksmith series.
Even if these two sequels are successful and have won status, fans and pay more for this series. Once the actors leave this series, it is hard to say how many film dealers and fans are willing to pay for the stars.
The real superstar is forged by many different movies, just like the two Tom and Harrison Ford, who are veritable superstars. Relying on only one series of superstars is just the illusion of superstars.
Helen Hermann saw it clearly that Matthew is in very good condition now, and as long as he can seize the opportunity, he may not be able to become the former.
"Your fame and status are now rising." Helen Herman also went to take a glass of water, took a sip, and said, "I have re-discussed the contract with your two endorsement brands."
Matthew asked immediately, "Benz and Rolex?"
Helen Herman sat back on the chair and said slowly, "I have already contacted Mercedes-Benz. Because the sales of Mercedes-Benz G-Class have increased significantly in the past year, they basically agreed to make adjustments to your endorsement contract. The contract term will be extended from the previous three years for another five years, and the annual endorsement fee will be fixed at US$7 million."
"Yes." Matthew was still very satisfied, "They didn't mention any other special conditions, right?"
Helen Herman shook his head, "I only had preliminary contact with them. Mercedes-Benz is very satisfied with you. In addition to extending the contract years and increasing the endorsement fees, the terms of the previous contract remain unchanged."
She continued, "Rolex is not going well. My goal is to turn you from one of the ranks of the graphic spokespersons to one of the main spokespersons like Roger Federer, and it depends on the effectiveness of the negotiations later."
Matthew nodded slightly, and said nothing.
"And," Helen Herman said, leaning against the back of the chair, "Rolex sponsored this year's U.S. Open. They have greeted me. I hope you can show up at this year's U.S. Open and participate in several events hosted by Rolex."
"When will the U.S. Open be held?" Matthew didn't know much about tennis.
After winning the endorsement of Rolex, because Roger Federer is also a spokesperson, he went to know about it specifically and learned about the names of many tennis stars such as Roger Federer, Leiden Hewitt, Martina Hingis and Anna Kurnikova.
There is also the tennis female star who had always thought that Ilena Poyal looked similar but couldn't remember her name. It turned out to be Maria Sharapova.
This Maria Sharapova was also named "the most beautiful athlete" by Sports Illustrated this year.
However, he vaguely remembers that it seems that Maria Sharapova later became a standard Russian aunt, which seems to be a common problem for Russian women.
"End of August and early September," Helen Hermann said at this time, "You should have schedules, so it's best to attend."
Matthew knew the reason for using money to do things and said, "For the specific itinerary, you can negotiate with Rolex."
Although I am not a tennis enthusiast, it is not a bad thing to join in the fun on the US Open. I remember that many celebrities like to go to similar occasions.
Helen Herman opened a notebook and wrote it on it specifically, then said, "There is also a charity dinner. Amanda recommends that it be held on June 25th, not in your home, but rent a large private club."
Seeing that Matthew had no objection, she continued, "I have prepared a list with Amanda and will invite most of the well-known figures in the circle."
Matthew was not the rookie before. Knowing that such an invitation was sent out, the other party might not be present, because being present basically means donating money.
Helen Hermann's words did not stop, "One-tenth of the invited person can come, and this event can shock the whole of the United States."
She pushed a list over, and Matthew simply opened it and looked at it. There were hundreds of names on it. All of the top stars, big directors and first-line producers are Hollywood stars.
Matthew did not intend to interfere directly in this matter, and the specific work would be left to Amanda and Helen Herman.
