In the car when she returned, Helen Hermann read the script like a draft and fell into thinking. Her ability to understand words was far better than Matthew. After reading the script and adding Matthew's just mentioned the interview with Christopher Nolan, she gradually made her own judgment.

"What do you think?" Matthew asked.

Helen Herman shook his head slightly, "This idea looks good, but it is actually similar to what the Wachowski brothers did in the two sequels of "The Matrix"." She thought for a moment and said, "It's mysterious!"

Matthew didn't expect Helen Herman to say that, and looked at her and asked, "Is there anything you said so badly?"

"I'm very strange. You don't like the unfathomable stories of Wachowski's brothers..." Helen Hermann asked, "Why can you like..."

She pointed to the script that looked like a draft, "This toxic project?"

"Poison?" Matthew asked again.

Helen Herman reminded, "Did you forget it? You once told me that overly complex and obscure plots and philosophical thinking, as well as deliberately added depth and thinking, are all powerful tools to kill commercial movies, and we never take on jobs like this."

Matthew couldn't help but be stunned. When he was discussing with Helen Herman before, he did say such things. Hollywood commercial movies are truly popular all over the world, and are undoubtedly easy to understand.

That is, a work that is moderately vulgar.

For a moment, he didn't know what to explain.

Under 99% of the cases, complex and difficult-to-understand movies will not become popular...

Thinking of this, Matthew suddenly remembered something. From the "Batman" trilogy to the latter part of the Pacific, there was no complicated and difficult to understand. Even "Inception" could be easily understood. He didn't know the independent films produced by Christopher Nolan, nor did he watch them, but the subsequent commercial blockbusters seemed to meet the usual requirements of Hollywood commercial films.

It seems that when he downloaded "Inception", he read a sentence on the resource website that Christopher Nolan's video was not complicated and reflected the usual theme in Hollywood, but it was over-interpreted by crazy Nolan fans with a more crazy momentum.

Think about some of the movie fans I saw and met in Hollywood. Many hardcore supporters, such as Phyllis Bereta, have completely lacked rationality in treating the people they support.

From the perspective of an ordinary person, a girl in her twenties chases a star and runs around the world. Isn’t this sick or what?

Of course, this kind of thought will always stay in his head and will not be said.

Classic films such as "2001 Space Odyssey", "The Godfather", "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Matrix" are over-interpreted by movie fans who like them. These fans not only cannot tolerate others saying that the film is bad, but they publish all kinds of insights that are definitely more than a hundred times more than the director, screenwriter and producer when they first conceived the film.

Due to the relationship between the crew of "Dark Knight" who had contacted him last year, he also paid attention to Christopher Nolan's movies, and took the time to watch "War on War" and "Deadly Magic", and watched related fan comments on IDC. Christopher Nolan and his movies have undoubtedly become over-interpreted on a large scale.

Now Christopher Nolan's fans are relatively low-key, but when "The Dark Knight" is released, everything will be different.

I have a rough impression that no director's fan can be as crazy as Christopher Nolan's fans.

"It's just a script," Matthew shrugged, "Helen, have you seen Christopher Nolan's recent movies?"

Helen Hermann then replied, "I have only watched "Memory Fragments" and completely lost interest in him. This is also one of the reasons why I suggest you not to take on the clown."

Matthew reminded, “Is the Dark Knight difficult to understand today?”

"Uh..." Helen Herman was stunned by his question, and then reacted, "It is easy to understand, and it is completely different from "Memory Fragments"."

"I've seen "The War Moment" and "The Deadly Magic," Matthew said slowly. "These two films are equally easy to understand. Christopher Nolan and Wachowski are completely different directors."

In his opinion, since entering the commercial film industry, Nolan himself did not make any mysterious things in the movie. It was just that too many brainless fans insisted on over-interpreting it, which made the Nolan movies in their eyes obscure and difficult to understand.

These fans are definitely thinking much more than Christopher Nolan.

"As a commercial film director, Christopher Nolan will never target Qu Gao and Wu, so the movies he made are still people-friendly, that is, easy to understand."

Matthew also said to Helen Herman, "In fact, even a person like me who has limited artistic cultivation does not feel that any of Christopher Nolan's commercial works are obscure and difficult to understand. One of the major advantages of Nolan's movies is that they have fewer logical flaws, so the various plot twists and turns in the film can basically give a sufficient foundation and explanation, and it is almost no difficulty to understand."

He said slowly, "Helen, just look at Nolan's commercial films and you will find that his works are actually very vulgar."

Helen Hermann could understand Matthew's words, and in the mouths of both of them, this so-called vulgarity has always been a compliment, not a derogatory word.

The premise for the success of large-scale commercial films is vulgarity.

"Let me go and have a look," said Helen Herman.

Matthew nodded, "Christopher Nolan is good at putting a gorgeous coat on an ordinary story, but it cannot change its vulgar nature. In addition, the quality of his works is guaranteed...so, his commercial films have a good reputation."

In fact, in the eyes of professional film critics, Christopher Nolan's situation is similar to his, and he is not very popular with professional film critics.

After all, those film critics who think they are noble in art look down on them, such vulgar film practitioners.

Having said that, if the film industry had not had these vulgar people, it would have probably not become an entertainment industry that could influence the whole world today.

Maybe he was killed in the competition with TV, and like European art films, he was completely marginalized among the public.

Although Christopher Nolan is completely different from Michael Bay, it seems inappropriate to compare him with Michael Bay, but Matthew has seen most of Christopher Nolan's commercial films and feels that he and Michael Bay's works still have something in common, that is, the factors that must be commercial films are easy to understand and friendly to the people!

For example, the film, which I once watched, was dressed in the guise of science fiction and put a lot of effort into scientific theory and technical details. However, its core is just to promote "love". This is a theme that is so vulgar that it cannot be more vulgar in Hollywood.

Anyway, a commercial film can make most viewers interesting and willing to buy tickets, so that's enough.

Helen Herman returned the draft script to Matthew and asked, "Do you want to take this movie?"

Matthew nodded slightly and said, "The production budget of this film is more than $150 million. With the style of Warner Bros., it would not be so high that Christopher Nolan would do it."

"This makes sense." Helen Hermann had a lot of talks with Warner Bros. management, and he knew this.

"There is another benefit to picking up this movie," Matthew continued. "We can keep working with Warner Bros. We can't just tie the future with Disney like Tom Cruise and Paramount Pictures, right?"

Helen Hermann smiled rare, "You are getting more and more comprehensive in your consideration."

Matthew also smiled, "Only with competition can our interests be maximized."

Most of the top Hollywood stars will not only work with one film company. Just like he did before, blooming more points is the best choice.

Besides, establishing a good cooperative relationship with a director who has been praised by many movie fans after "The Dark Knight" is also a good thing for a celebrity actor like him.

Back at Angel Agency, Matthew received good news. Disney Pictures has already divided the post-production of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" and paid it to the accountant. He asked the accountant to contact the crew of "Twilight" and inject funds into the account guaranteed by the crew as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the entire crew.

During filming, as an investor, no matter how many promises you make, it is not as effective as money.

If you don’t have money, what movie can you make?

Perhaps with the last $20 million, Sophia Coppola and Sean Daniel completely lost their worries, or perhaps the filming of this film is indeed much less difficult, and the filming of the "Twilight" crew in the studio was extremely smooth. In just ten days, the shooting of the interior scene ended.

In early March, Sofia Coppola and Sean Daniel led the crew to a small town in the Portland area to continue shooting outdoor scenes.

Matthew didn't go there, Sean Daniel is a serious and responsible producer. It's enough to have him in Los Angeles, and he's going to stay in Los Angeles to make final preparations for "Fast and Furious 4".

Firearms, driving, fighting, rehearsals... all must be done in advance. Justin Lin is not the kind of on-the-spot director. Most of the difficult scenes must be rehearsed in advance.

Rehearsals may lead to templates, but this has never been a problem in commercial movies. Films like "Fast and Furious" were originally created in a successful template assembly line.
