Chapter 662 Commercial Entertainment
“My new project is based on DC Comics.”
In the reception room of Angel Brokerage, Aziva Gossman handed over the two identical comics to Matthew and Helen Herman, saying, "Like the few films we have worked with in the past, this is still a story about heroes and redemption."
Matthew took the comic and glanced down. The comic was called.
This is a rather unfamiliar name. Even though he has taken time to make up for a lot of knowledge about comic superheroes because of the relationship between the Avengers and Justice League universes, Jonah Hax has not heard of it.
Helen Hermann looked over at this time, and Matthew shook his head slowly at her, expressing no interest, but out of politeness, he opened the comic and flipped through it.
The two sides collaborated on three consecutive movies, and their relationship was very good. Helen Hermann did not refuse tactfully, but asked, "Aziva, can you know more about it?"
Aziva Gossman immediately said, "I still collaborate with Warner Bros. in this video, and two actors have been confirmed." Speaking of this, he looked at Matthew, "Megan Fox plays the heroine, and Michael Fassbender plays the supporting actor."
When Matthew heard the first name, he didn't think so. This typical commercial film is of course the home of the first vase of the universe, but it was a bit surprising that Michael Fassbender played a supporting actor.
But he did not make any statement.
"The project's director and production budget have not been determined yet." Aziva Gosman smiled, "If Matthew plays the leading role, it will not be difficult to win more than 100 million US dollars in production budget."
Helen Herman said in confusion, "I'm not familiar with the name Jonah Hax." She continued, "Aziva, is Jonah Hax a superhero?"
"This..." Aziva Gosman hesitated for a moment and nodded, "To be precise, it's. Jonah Hax is still making a comedy in the Batman comics."
Helen Herman followed his words, "I can only say sorry, Matthew doesn't take on superhero movies."
Matthew nodded, "Helen is right."
Aziva Gosman frowned slightly and said, "Jona Hax is not an ordinary superhero. His anti-traditional, anti-hero, independent, rebellious and solitary character is not possessed by other comics heroes, that is, he has outstanding personality and unique qualities."
He said cautiously, "For this reason, I don't want to make the film into an ordinary blockbuster. I hope this film has its own personality. I plan to design the villain in the film as a terrorist, and Jonah Hax is like a master of anti-terrorism. The two of them are fighting in this kind of struggle."
"When will this film be filmed and released?" Helen Hermann asked again.
"The 2010 summer season was released." Aziva Gossman thought for a while and said, "If the filming is probably in the first half of next year."
Helen Hermann calmly held his glasses, "There is a conflict in schedule." She hesitated and said, "There is a news that has not been made public yet. Matthew has signed with Warner Brothers for the hero of Christopher Nolan's new project, which is in conflict with your project's shooting time."
Aziva Gosman originally wanted to drag Matthew to invest with Warner Bros., but he didn't know such news, and couldn't help but say, "That's what..."
Matthew added at the right time, "Sorry, Aziva, I don't want to be a comics superhero, and I promised Christopher Nolan to be fully prepared for his new film."
Seeing that things were not done, Aziva Gosman was silent for a while, and finally sighed and said, "It's so regretful."
Matthew said very sincerely, "We are all developing in this circle, and there are opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"That's right." Aziva Gossman felt that this is the case, "We will work together after there is a suitable project."
He knew very well that with Matthew's current status, no one could force him as long as he didn't want to cooperate.
After chatting for a while, Aziva Gosman took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
After seeing off Aziva Gossman, Matthew called Michael Fassbender. Michael Fassbender was indeed going to star in this film and had signed a contract with Aziva Gossman's team.
When he learned that Aziva Gossman invited Matthew to play the leading role, Michael Fassbender specifically instructed Matthew to choose to start from his own needs and not be influenced by his role as a supporting actor.
Matthew told Michael Fassbender directly that he had rejected the project.
Not to mention being a comic superhero character, he alone has no impression of this video, so he will not easily accept the invitation from Aziva Gosman.
"It's true that you don't have a schedule," Helen Herman said to Matthew. "Your work schedule is very tight. I'm negotiating with Paramount Pictures for you. If everything goes well, you can sign a contract before September. Then you may have to shoot, and then you have to do promotion."
Her voice was as dull as ever, "Next year you have to take time to prepare. Christopher Nolan is going to go to Japan, France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Egypt to shoot live. He is a famous live-action director. Don't expect him to shoot in front of the green screen, so the shooting date will be delayed very long and it will take more than half a year."
Matthew nodded, "I know."
Helen Herman continued, “You have to participate in the promotion. If the film can achieve our lowest expected results, the sequel must be prepared immediately…”
Hearing this, Matthew suddenly felt a little overwhelmed and muttered, "I seem to have caused myself a lot of trouble."
"Didn't you tell Amanda?" Helen Hermann talked about Matthew's weird theory, "Without a career, there will be no beautiful actresses who hook you up."
Matthew shrugged, "I'm talking about the truth."
His ability to hook up with so many women, and his identity as a big Hollywood star actually played an important role.
The most typical one is that Nina Dubov, who still hooks up with him, wouldn't she be on call and play so many exciting tricks if she didn't have the heroine Isabella Swan?
Helen Hermann was too lazy to talk about Matthew, and he had been used to it for so many years.
"I suggest not to cooperate with Aziva Gossman for the time being." Helen Hermann's topic turned back to work, "The quality is worse than I thought. Aziva Gossmann probably..."
She shook her head, "Let's take a look at the quality and market response of this movie first."
"I understand." Matthew nodded slightly.
In some ways, like Helen Hermann, he is an extremely selfish person and will not take risks with his future.
The response of this movie among fans is much worse than that.
Matthew doesn't care much about the ratings of film critics like Rotten Tomatoes, but he still often pays attention to the ratings of the market and the audience.
Imdb score 7.2, cinemasore cinema audience scored "b+" on the spot, and metacriti media scored 63 points in a comprehensive score, all of which have created the worst films he has starred in in recent years.
Of course, for a summer commercial film, it is still passed. Fans are still very interested in Matthew's account, and supportive voices are everywhere on the Internet.
"The story is compact and the plot is novel. First, I am carrying a car in the air like a toy car, and then I play rocket launch with a girl who follows me in my RV. Unfortunately, I am a fast gunner. The girl is frightened, happy and hateful, and she is so lucky in the bathroom..."
On social networking sites, there are too many fans who have made good reviews.
In addition, Matthew's fan support website was mobilized, and screen fans were everywhere in forums and rating websites. Anyone who can be related to it will leave praise for the film.
Those critics who gave negative reviews to this video have almost been blasted by movie fans on their blogs or social accounts.
"It is a commercial movie, with entertainment first. I believe the homeless people on the street know this."
"In terms of entertainment, the first day of the film's box office shows everything. Who dares to say that this is a bad movie!"
"In terms of performance, this is a commercial film. What do you want to pretend to be innocent? The dinosaur in the film opens his mouth and says survival or destruction before opening his mouth? Batman wears a mask to perform a set of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and then get an Oscar. It is mixed with social ethics issues. To be honest, although he didn't expect to win an Oscar, Matthew's acting skills in this film are remarkable, and other actors are also a perfect film."
"It's just a commercial film, what do you want to do? If you want to watch elegant art, you can't go to the theater? No one will force you."
"When it comes to screenwriter and director, this is the most outstanding place besides the male protagonist. When it comes to what people think of when it comes to Superman or hero movies, I think of a routine: the first half of the hero appears, and the director arranges various conflicts and conflicts. In the end, the second half is a pk of justice and evil that lasts more than ten minutes, a bunch of special effects and explosions, and then the audience will take the bag and leave."
"But this movie completely subverts the Superman theme. At first glance, after the movie is subverted, it seems that it wants to show a mortal superman image. But in the end, this seems to have become a very sad romance of love. Or in other words, the crew just did it both. In the same sentence, this is a commercial film, measured by the standards of a commercial film, and the plot of a movie should be like this."
In this season, movie fans enter commercial theater chains, and are originally for entertainment.
