After seeing off Charles Rowan, Matthew opened the script he left behind and read it more carefully. Thanks to the fact that, like super directors such as James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan was one of the few Hollywood directors he once remembered his name.

This script, which strictly resembles a draft, has a plot that is not coherent, the scenes are quite chaotic, and the story is obscure and difficult to understand.

Matthew can see some familiar things from it. The most impressive content of this script is that technology allows people to invade other people's brains and share the same dream with another person at the same time.

Seeing this, he roughly had a guess. If it was really the movie that was once praised by countless people to an exaggerated level, he could indeed consider taking on this job.

I vaguely remember that the male protagonist at that time was Leonardo DiCaprio. I wonder if Christopher Nolan would go to him while contacting him?

That night, Christopher Nolan spoke to him on the phone, and the two sides agreed to wait until Christopher Nolan returns to Los Angeles before having an interview.

Matthew put this aside for the time being, Christopher Nolan is busy with the final production in Chicago and will have to wait for a while before returning to Los Angeles.

His filming is about to begin.

"Sofia, at my request, Disney Pictures has confirmed to be released on November 21."

In the Disney Studios studio, Matthew told Sofia Coppola, "You have to control the pace of shooting and post-production."

"A weekend before Thanksgiving." Sofia Coppola asked irresponsible, "I remember the new James Bond was released on November 14?"

Matthew nodded, "Yes, this video is in front and Reese Witherspoon's back."

Sofia Coppola said in a nasal voice, "You are betting."

"This is a holiday!" Matthew emphasized, "Which November of that year wasn't the crowded large number of videos?"

To be honest, this is indeed a success. No one knows whether the series, which has replaced the director, starring and production and distribution companies, can still be successful.

But he believed in the strength of the crew he formed, and also believed that romance films dressed in werewolf and vampire robes would be popular among teenagers.

Besides, he can afford to bet.

"Don't worry, Matthew," Sofia Coppola promised, "the location has been confirmed. My art director team is on the set there. The latest is no more than early March. This film can be filmed and completed by mid-April."

She said in a unique tone, "Forty days are enough to shoot such a film."

Matthew nodded, which was also one of the reasons why he chose Sophia Coppola as the director, and the filming was completed in a very short time.

Sofia Coppola changed the topic and said, "I talked to people from a third-party guarantee company yesterday. At present, except for the 20 million US dollars invested in advance, the 20 million US dollars in the next one has not yet arrived." She asked, "Matthew, you must solve the funding problem as soon as possible. At that time, the filming will be interrupted due to insufficient funds."

Matthew immediately relieved Sofia Coppola's worries, "At the end of this month, the remaining $20 million will be all received."

Helen Hermann and his accountants are processing the latest accounts with the crew and Disney Pictures. The late-stage share will be accounted for soon. Based on the earliest signed share agreement and the supplementary agreement signed after the box office boom, he can get a late-stage share of $24 million. Although April is the tax filing season, with some of the funds in hand, it is not a problem to make up for the project's funding gap.

Moreover, with the arrival of the new year, the endorsement fees for brands such as Rolex, Mercedes-Benz and Armani men's underwear that he endorses will be paid at the latest by the end of this month.

In addition to filling in the vacancy of reserved funds previously misappropriated, he has contacted his agent to acquire Marvel Comics' stock at a high price.

Since he participated in this project, he has been acquiring Marvel Comics' stocks one after another. Now there are too few Apple's stocks circulating on the market, making it difficult to buy large amounts of stocks. In comparison, Marvel Comics' stocks are much easier.

To this day, Marvel Comics is still not favored, and not many people think that the release in May will be a great success.

On behalf of him, Amanda contacted several small shareholders of Marvel Comics and wanted to see if they could buy their shares, but these people were not stupid. Among them, there were people who were willing to gamble on a box office success and Marvel Comics stocks would rise sharply. It was not easy to buy their shares, and they had to pay far more than the market price.

Now no one can guarantee that they will sell it, but Amanda has already given a very satisfactory price at this stage.

If these transactions can be reached, he will also become a small shareholder of Marvel Comics with about 4% of the shares.

Looking back from his current position, he actually missed the most difficult stage of Marvel Comics. If he had enough money when he first came here, he might try to become the largest shareholder of Marvel Comics.

Unfortunately, at that time, he even had a problem with eating, and his focus was not on Marvel at all. The most important thing in his eyes was to solve practical survival problems.

He also discussed some shooting and production matters with Sofia Coppola. Matthew left her temporary office in the studio and went to a nearby small studio where the main actors selected by the crew were undergoing physical training.

A youthful and beautiful appearance is one of the selling points of this film.

Matthew stood at the door of the studio and watched for a while. More than a dozen young actors and actresses were following professional coaches to do some physical correction training, including the heroine Nina Dubov and the supporting actress Lily Collins.

The actors here are tall and handsome men and beautiful women. To put it in the sentence that once was the opposite Pacific Ocean, this is a group of young girls and young young actors.

Unfortunately, these little flowers and young meat do not bring their own traffic.

Of course, if the traffic is flashed, the effect will not be much better.

Looking at these people on the training ground, for a moment, Matthew felt old.

Not long after he stayed, he left and returned to the studio where the crew was located. Some of the studio had been transformed into a temporary training ground. Major actors including Paul Walker, Gal Gadot and Daniel Wu are undergoing professional training in action guidance.

Matthew also participated in it, and the training involved many action scenes in the shooting, which began from the end of casting.

Gal Gadot and Daniel Wu have very distinctive characteristics. Daniel Wu is very agile. Gal Gadot's understanding of guns is not only about talking about it, but also competed with him for disassembly and assembly of the m9 pistol, which can be said to be a complete victory in this regard.

During this week, both the crew received funding from Matthew and David Ellison. The sufficient budget and funds also ensured that the preparations for the two projects were successfully launched. By the end of February, they would be the first to start filming at Disney Studios.

According to Sofia Coppola's plan, the interior scenes in the studio will be filmed within half a month, and the entire crew will then rush to a rainy town in the Portland area to shoot the remaining scenes.

While the film was started, the first wave of publicity and promotion of the film also began smoothly. Apart from a series of publicity methods, Matthew communicated with Disney and would focus on the promotion of the film's director, producer, screenwriter and original author of the film, all of whom were women.

In addition to being a director, Sofia Coppola also serves as a producer.

The purpose of this is of course to make the film more attractive to the attention of female audiences. The crew has conducted special investigations before, and the book fans are mainly women.

As for attracting male audiences, in addition to male audiences who like this type of movie, we also have to look at the charm of two female characters.

Matthew has no idea who played Lily Collins, but Lily Collins, who was less than nineteen years old, has already had excellent appearance conditions.

As for the heroine, if you put aside your past memories, just in the current situation, the nineteen-year-old Nina Dubov is much more beautiful than the eighteen-year-old Kristen Stewart in the aesthetics of most people.

Many times, beauty may not be useful in Hollywood, nor will it become a key winning factor for commercial films, but it is definitely a plus.

For example, Megan Fox is.

On the day of filming, a small ceremony was held. Since all the actors in the film were not famous, the media reporters focused on Matthew, the investor.

"I believe everyone has read the original work, and it is not easy for my company to get the adaptation rights of this best-selling novel."

Matthew is of course confident in the face of the reporter's shot. "From casting, script to the entire shooting process, we have gone through too many ups and downs. I hope this movie can be recognized by the audience, especially the novel readers."
Chapter completed!
