Burbank, South Bo Great Street, Disney headquarters.

Joe Detdubar looked at Jerry Brookheimer sitting opposite him and asked, "Is there still hope for the sequel to "National Treasure"?"

Jerry Brookheimer smiled helplessly, "Disney Pictures has been unable to deal with the male lead Matthew Horner. I talked to him personally, but it didn't work. Robert Iger also found him last weekend."

"Matthew Horner refused to give in?" Joe Detdubar asked.

"Yes." Jerry Brookheimer felt a headache when he remembered this, and said, "This morning, Helen Herman of Angels' Agency raised the price again. If you want Matthew Horner to star in the sequel to "National Treasure", a 2020 pay contract is a must."

Joe Detdubba immediately understood, "They dragged it until now, just wait for the box office of the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" to be released, and then the price will be increased!"

"There's nothing to do." Jerry Brookheimer actually knew very well that Matthew Horner was no longer the little actor who needed to see his face when "Black Hawk Down". "The sequel to "National Treasure" requires Matthew Horner, but Matthew Horner does not need this sequel."

"Can't we give up on Matthew Horner?" Joe Detduba frowned, "that would save more money to put it in the filming and production."

Jerry Brookehai made accusation that he really thought about it for a while, then shook his head slowly and said, "With Matthew Horner's current popularity, if we give up on the original male lead, how many viewers can accept it?"

Joe Detdubar was a little dissatisfied, "Will all of us wait for Matthew Horner?"

"He's worth waiting for it," Jerry Brookheimer said this first, and then said, "Let's watch the negotiations between Disney Pictures and Helen Hermann. This project will probably be a few years later. Joe, if there is a suitable project, you can direct it first."

This is also impossible. "Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Cauldron" hit a record box office in the first weekend, causing the popularity of the two leading actors Johnny Depp and Matthew Horner to soar. It would be strange if they didn't take the opportunity to raise the offer.

What's even more troublesome is that Helen Herman came to him this morning for not being the sequel to "National Treasure", but co-organized Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley's agents, requiring the crew to increase the dividend ratio of the three starring actors in "End of the World".

This is what really makes Jerry Brookheimer a headache. I believe Disney Pictures will not feel better than him.

According to industry practice, if the first part of this kind of film is sold, the second part will definitely increase the compensation of the cast and crew members appropriately, but the offer from the agents starring Matthew Horner, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley is a bit too much.

If no agreement on this aspect is reached, it will inevitably affect the promotion and distribution of "The End of the World".

Among Angel Brokerage, Helen Hermann just talked to Matthew about the morning meeting with Jerry Brookheimer and Disney Pictures.

"This is just a preliminary contact." Her voice was very plain, "The two sides just tested the bottom line. If they want to reach an agreement, it will take at least a few months."

Matthew nodded, "It's a little more to fight for."

Not only him, Depp and Kayla Knightley, have never bothered to have too much money.

Helen Hermann sat on a chair and said, "Many survey companies and Wall Street institutions also released their latest expectations for "Soul Casket". Based on audience reputation and first week's box office, the total box office in North America and the total box office in the world were raised to $400 million and $1 billion respectively."

She told a basic fact, "If the global box office at the End of the World can reach the order of one billion US dollars, every one percent of the early box office share involved, it means you can increase your income by 10 million US dollars!"

She didn't say the following sentence, and the increase in Matthew's income means that she can also get a large commission.

Who doesn’t like money?

Matthew was also very moved and said, "Try to get as much as possible."

After the North American weekend box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Cauldron" was released, the box office numbers in the first week of overseas were also quickly counted.

Although it was rejected by the big scissors, Disney Pictures' global simultaneous release plan has not changed. In addition to North America, "Soul Cave" has almost simultaneously landed in cinemas in more than 70 countries and regions overseas. During the same period, overseas box office easily surpassed North American box office, winning more than 198 million US dollars.

In just one week of release, the global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Soul Coffin" exceeded $350 million.

Although it was a bad voice from film critics to Rotten Tomatoes, after the birth of this data, many film prediction agencies still raised their previous expectations.

North America has US$400 million and US$1 billion worldwide. In the eyes of these forecasting agencies, it is not too difficult to implement "Soul Cave".

At the same time, on many websites including Google and ImDB, almost the same rankings appeared on this week's search and hottest star rankings. Johnny Depp firmly ranked first with Captain Jack Sparrow, followed closely behind. Even Kayla Knightley, who had little roles, steadily ranked in the top five.

It is no exaggeration to say that pirates sail far away, and merchant ships of all sizes can only escape by looking at the wind.

However, not all the good news coming from overseas, and there are some bad news. The Dominican media, as a main location, criticized the Soul Casket for deliberately vilifying the local indigenous tribes, saying that Disney Pictures portrayed many Dominican locals as stupid and terrible cannibals in a disgraceful way, asked Disney to delete the relevant clips, and publicly apologized in the media.

It is not impossible to get the film company to apologize.

Not to mention a big company like Disney Pictures, even a small Hollywood production company will not apologize for such a thing.

In Hollywood's eyes, what other countries and regions value is just entertainment. If those countries and regions have opinions about this, Hollywood will only think that they lack the spirit of entertainment.

Fortunately, the Dominican Republic is too far away from North America, and the current reaction of the Dominican media has not caused trouble to "Soul Gathering Coffin".

"There's one more thing." Helen Herman looked through the work log. "At noon today, Oprah Winfrey's Harper Production Company sent me an invitation to officially invite you to the Oprah talk show."

Matthew thought for a while and asked, "Do you think I'm going to attend? I heard that the main audience of Oprah's talk show is middle-aged housewives."

"Yes, the housewife supported the Oprah talk show." Helen Hermann obviously had thought about it and said directly, "My suggestion is that you go and participate."

Before Matthew could speak, she took the initiative to explain, "Bella Anderson and I have conducted surveys on your fan organizations and fan organizations in North America. At present, your fan group is mainly teenagers aged fifteen, while the fan organization is full of men under the age of forty."

Matthew nodded, and based on his understanding, Helen Hermann was right.

Helen Hermann folded his hands on his desk and continued, "Although you are very popular among young women under the age of thirty-five, the group of housewives over the age of thirty-five is your blank."

"I never thought I could win these people's favor," Matthew said with his hands spread out, "Don't they all like soap operas and romantic and bloody love movies?"

"It's not necessarily." Helen Hermann said, "Before the scandal broke, Brad Pitt was the favorite movie star of housewives in the United States, but when he got married, he was caught in bed by Aniston, and his popularity dropped sharply."

Matthew instantly understood what Helen Hermann said, "There is a gap in the audience market for housewives, and you want me to grab as many people as possible."

Helen Herman nodded, "It can be said that. It is difficult for your support among the inherent group to make a big rise. Fighting for a new crowd market will be beneficial for future movie box offices and brand endorsements."

She suddenly emphasized, "Oprah talk show is a very good platform."

"I get it." Matthew made the decision, "then promise Oprah Winfrey's invitation to go to the Oprah talk show."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered about the charity auction and said, "I happened to go to Oprah to make a donation."

Although he voluntarily pledged $100,000 on the night of the charity dinner, after Amanda personally contacted Oprah Winfrey, there was no clear news about the donation of $100,000 until now. Oprah obviously intends to default on the debt.

Helen Herman shook his head, "It's not the first time Oprah has done this. It's probably a habit to rely on the charitable donations."

In fact, it was not only Oprah Winfrey who was lying to pay. Many of the people who pledged charity that night did not receive any money. As Amanda said, many people just wrote numbers to deal with the scene.

Matthew did not continue this topic, and returned to the talk show, saying, "The big sale of "The Soul Coffin" is a foregone conclusion. At this stage, it is a waste to go on Oprah's talk show. Helen, please communicate with Oprah to see if you can move the talk show time back, preferably on the eve of the release of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".

"This is a good idea," Helen Hermann said, "It is best to play it at the end of October or early November, and it can be combined with the pre-screening publicity of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta."

She thought for a while and said, "I will communicate with Oprah first, and after the results are achieved, then discuss with David Ellison and Warner Brothers so that the best publicity effect can be achieved."
