Two updates today! The manuscripts are exhausted.

"Gilmore, if you have more rest, I won't disturb you."

In the ward of California Medical School, Matthew asked Guilmo Del Toro, who wanted to get up and send him, to stop and waved away, "Goodbye, Guilmo, see you in our crew."

"Okay, see you in the crew!" Gilmo del Toro also waved to Matthew.

Matthew went out, closed the door of the ward, strode towards the exit of the ward building, and sighed as he walked, and Gilmo del Toro was finally cured.

From the end of December 2006 to the beginning of February, Gilmo del Toro has been in the hospital bed for more than a month. It is said that he was infected with a strange bacteria and was unable to recover for a long time, which led to the temporary suspension of the entire "I Am a Legend" crew. Due to the delay of too long, producer Aziva Gossman had the idea of ​​temporarily replacing the director.

Fortunately, Gilmore Del Toro recovered in time, and the release date of "I Am a Legend" is the holiday schedule at the end of this year, so the time is quite abundant. In the end, Aziva Gossman did not replace him.

Of course, there have been many rumors about Gilmo del Toro recently, and many tabloids are hyping that he was hospitalized for overdose. TMZ also disclosed a so-called hospital examination report.

Matthew never said anything about this, drug use is too common in this circle.

After walking out of the ward building gate, the afternoon sun was a little dazzling. He got into the car, and Bella Anderson, who was in the co-pilot, said to the driver, "Let's go back to Burbank and go to Warner Studios."

The driver started the car and slowly drove out of California Medical College.

Bella Anderson looked back at Matthew and said, "There is good news and bad news."

Matthew closed his eyes and rested, "Tell me together."

"I'll tell you good news first." Bella Anderson opened his notebook and looked at it. "The Oscar nominee lunch has just ended, and Spike Lee's "Outsider" has not received any nominations. Also, Will Smith has not received the best actor nomination, and "When Happiness Comes Knocks" has not received the same Oscar nomination."

"Yeah." Matthew nodded, not hiding his mood at all, "It's good, it's all good news."

Bella Anderson continued, "There's a bad news. The Golden Raspberry Awards, like in previous years, announced the nomination before the Oscar nominee luncheon, and you're nominated for the worst male lead again."

Matthew didn't care, "It's not the first time they can do it."

Since he became famous, he has been the one who is the focus of the Golden Raspberry Award. It has been nominated for his worst male lead for the Golden Raspberry Award.

Although he told the so-called bad news, Matthew was still in a good mood. Those black people with ulterior motives wanted to step on him, but Spike Lee shot himself in the foot, and Will Smith did not achieve his goal.

Just like Vin Diesel, those who are hostile to him are in trouble, Matthew never has sympathy and will only gloat.

The other party treats him as an enemy. Shouldn’t he be aware of the enemy?

"By the way, Bella." Matthew suddenly thought of what happened just after the New Year, "Is there any news about Vin Diesel?"

He has an assistant team that specializes in collecting information and handling chores, and Bella Anderson is the direct person in charge.

Bella Anderson opened his notebook and looked for it, then said, "Last month, after being confirmed by public opinion, Vin Diesel lost many jobs that were being fought for. The crew of "The Deadly Driver" kicked him out of the audition list before the audition, and the other three crews directly returned Vin Diesel's information. Also, "The New Era of Life and Death" that has been filmed may not allow Vin Diesel to directly participate in the publicity activities."

She closed her notebook and said, "There are tabloid reports that Vin Diesel appeared on the stand-alone set of a small company."

"You're going to be in the independent film industry?" Matthew couldn't help but pinch his chin, "The independent film industry has a promising future."

Maybe Van Diesel can hone his acting skills in the independent film industry, then make a big splash, winning the Oscar for Best Actor with his superb acting skills.

"Vin Diesel should thank me. Without me, how could he calm down and hone his acting skills?" Matthew's face has always been very thick. "It's better to enjoy things like glory, fame, fortune, money and women, which are flamboyant and corrode people. It's better for people like me who have no pursuits. Vin Diesel should pursue the essence of art."

When he came to Warner Studios, Matthew went to the studio's office building to meet Aziva Gosman, got the latest version of the script of "He Comes Tonight" from him, and talked about Gilmore Del Toro.

"I'm sure there's no problem?" asked Aziva Gosman.

Matthew said while reading the script, "Don't worry, Gilmore is healed."

Before he visited Guilmo del Toro this time, Aziva Gossman made a special call to see if Guilmo del Toro could really resume work.

To be honest, he is also very cautious. If Gilmore Del Toro is in a bad situation, just like Aziva Gossman, he would also think of replacing Gilmore Del Toro. After all, "I Am a Legend" cannot be delayed indefinitely.

Even though the two got along very happily on the crew, they were still very clear about their work.

Aziva Gosman nodded, "This project has been delayed for too long."

Matthew didn't respond and was reading the heroine in the script. After a while, he looked up and asked Aziva Gossman, "Is it okay to give a role suggestion?"

"Of course." Aziva Gosman said.

"About the heroine..." Matthew closed the script and said, "Aziva, I think this role is very suitable for Charlize Theron, and we have worked together before."

Aziva Gosman thought about it for a while and nodded slightly, "Let me find someone to contact Sally before talking about it."

Matthew didn't say more. It would be better to make suggestions on this kind of thing. Who knows whether Charlize Theron will accept it? Moreover, his male lead contract is still being negotiated, and it is still far from being negotiated.

Helen Hermann negotiated with this crew on a basic pay of $20 million. He could get a $20 million salary, which is already the default minimum pay line in the circle. The differences are mainly concentrated on the part outside the basic pay. Should Warner Bros. pay in the future or early pay, and the payment ratio or amount.

According to Matthew's requirements, it is best to share the basic pay and box office share. However, Warner Bros. is not stupid. Based on the box office of his recent movies, he determined that the box office share is not good for Warner. If he wants to pay him a higher early pay directly, he will cancel the post-end share.

Matthew doesn't have to share the money later, and he's waiting to use the money now. The "Fast and Furious" series will soon have early investment. He and David Ellison are preparing to become a quasi-first-tier production, which requires a large amount of capital investment, half of which is funded by him.

The payment speed of later sharing is very slow, far less than the speed of paying directly.

Of course, the premise of giving up the late box office share is that Warner Bros. can offer a preliminary pay that satisfies him and Helen Hermann.

Otherwise, Matthew would still insist on sharing the early pay and late box office share.

After chatting with Aziva Gossman about "I Am a Legend" and "He Comes Tonight", Matthew said goodbye and left his office. Aziva Gossman later said that the name "He Comes Tonight" is not very suitable and will probably be changed soon.

Matthew then went to the Warner Building in front of the studio. David Heyman just returned from the UK the day before yesterday and made an appointment with him to meet and chat this afternoon.

"It's better to have Los Angeles, the bright sunshine makes people feel comfortable."

In a reception room, David Heyman sat on the sofa and said to Matthew next to him, "The weather in London is so bad, it's so cold and wet that even the British, I can't stand it."

Matthew smiled and said, "So, spending winter in Los Angeles is the most comfortable."

David Heyman sighed, "We can't help but let me leave the Harry Potter crew alone."

"Not congratulations yet." Matthew said, thinking of David Heyman's current position, "You are now the number one producer of the Harry Potter series."

"The higher the position, the greater the responsibility and the greater the pressure." David Heyman felt quite sincere. "If I messed up the Harry Potter series, I guess Harry Potter fans around the world will kill me."

Matthew nodded and said deliberately, "Don't worry, I don't need them. I will mail you a blade when I fall."

David Heyman couldn't help laughing with Matthew.

In fact, Matthew knew very well that the safest way to film the "Harry Potter" series is to not seek merit but not make mistakes. As long as the film does not have too many flaws and bugs, tens of millions of fans will naturally pay for it. Warner Bros. spent almost crazy publicity expenses at the turn of the century, and now it is the season to make a lot of money.

Warner Bros. is the most classic marketing case in the history of books and films.

However, Matthew has never discovered the excellence of this series, which may have a lot to do with his understanding. He really doesn't catch a cold about magic or something.

David Heyman said at this time, "Before I came back, Emma Watson mentioned you specifically, and she also said that I would bring you a picture of your signature."

"Wow..." Matthew said with a little exaggeration, "Is Miss Hermione Granger my movie fan?"

David Heyman shrugged slightly, "It's possible." He reminded, "One day, you can send a signature photo to London's Pinewood Studios."
