Other films released on the same weekend inevitably suffered a huge impact from "The Dark Knight", which was directly reflected in the box office of "The All-Man Hancock".

The film's box office fell by more than 50% on its third weekend of release, and it took another $20.4 million. Together with the $20.6 million earned on the previous working day, the box office in North America finally exceeded the $200 million mark, reaching $23.6 million.

Compared with several films starring Matthew before, "The Man of the People" has a box office of over $200 million in North America.

"The North American box office spot of this film is estimated to be around $300 million."

In the office, Helen Herman sat behind his desk and told Matthew about Warner Bros.'s latest assessment, "It's hard to break $800 million in the global box office."

Matthew nodded slightly, "This is already good relative to the quality of the video."

Helen Hermann once again emphasized, "Don't cooperate with Aziva Gossman for the time being."

"I understand." Matthew said lightly.

At this point, the two had reached a consensus, and he had clearly turned down the invitation of Aziva Gosman's hero Jonaha in the Western Heroes.

Although Aziva Gosman deliberately used the heroine Megan Fox as an example, he refused without hesitation. The lady fox was indeed very tempting, but he could not make a blind decision.

Which one is more important, woman or career? He is always very clear-headed. As long as his career is still there, there will be countless women in the future. There are too many women like Meghan Fox in the Hollywood and modeling circles.

Having said that, if your career is over, how many women, such as Nina Dubov and Megan Fox, would they look at him with a look?

Matthew never thought that these women were fighting with him because of love. He was not that naive yet. Perhaps his outstanding appearance was one of the favorable factors, but it was definitely not the key.

Therefore, he never thought of establishing a long-term and stable relationship with these women.

Women who can come to the entertainment industry and figure out how to make a name for themselves are not simple-minded.

For example, the girl I met in Charlize Theron's class some time ago who liked milk, is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, but she has already played the silly and sweet routine.

In this circle, whether it is true or routine, everyone is actually selling their character designs. His character design is a people-friendly man, Emma Watson is a feminist and academic master, Charlize Theron is a cold queen, and the milk girl is a silly white sweet...

Some people are packaging themselves, and some are packaging them...

If you want to live out your true nature in the entertainment industry, you must at least wait until you become a superstar to be qualified. Even the character design of a superstar is packaged. It is not impossible to play with true nature before you become famous. Such people will probably only be young actors in their lifetime.

As for the character behind the character, it really doesn't matter. It's like the story of Morgan Freeman and his granddaughter that has been so long, isn't it that way?

Matthew knew very well that his character was not very good, and the Milk Girl was probably not much better than him. Emma Watson, who had a good relationship with him, actually had a fair personality, but this is the case in Hollywood. It is too difficult for people with good character to make it happen.

Of course, looking at Hollywood, there are more people with better character than them, such as Judy Foster and Natalie Portman.

Judy Foster is actually very admirable. This is a person who is so powerful that people can ignore their character.

After Ronald Reagan was assassinated, a press release written by Judy Foster changed countless people's positions, from anger and disgust towards her to sympathy.

When he was under the PR training of Helen Hermann, Helen Hermann had specially asked him to read the article "Why Me?" written by Judy Foster.

Many people say that Natalie Portman is smart, but it is really not enough to look at Judy Foster.

In fact, he also borrowed from Judy Foster in some aspects. This smart woman did a perfect job in public image creation and media public relations. She could hardly see negative news related to her on the market, and all the news was vulnerable in the face of Reagan's assassination.

Reagan's assassination can be said to be the biggest crisis in Judy Foster's life, but she and her team have skillfully transformed into her greatest protective color.

Thinking of this, Matthew couldn't help but shake his head slightly, just as countless people were poisoned by Matilda, too many people also got poisoned by "Taxi Driver".

How charming is "Taxi Driver"? How charming is Judy Foster? Perhaps the charm cannot be described. She can shoot through other people's hearts like a magic arrow.

In 1981, another president of the United States was assassinated - almost all smart presidents in the United States died at their own hands. Perhaps this president, who was born as an actor, was not smart enough, and he survived fortunately - John Hinckley, the craziest fan of Judy Foster, ambushed Ronald Reagan, who had just taken office outside the Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC, and what he did was just to attract the attention of female stars who were so crazy about him.

This female star is Judy Foster.

Perhaps, John Hinckley believes that only such sacrifice and dedication can attract a look back from the goddess in her heart...

Helen Hermann said again at this time, "By the way, you may be interested in something."

Matthew raised his eyebrows and asked, "What news?"

"Warner Bros. has officially signed with Will Smith." Helen Herman knew what Matthew was, and he knew better that he would not forget some of the things the Smiths had done. "Will Smith will play the Green Lantern."

She added, "You should have heard that the movie "Green Lantern" will be the opening work of the Justice League universe."

Matthew nodded slightly, "I heard Charles Rowan talk about it." He thought for a while and asked, "Did Warner Bros. offer Will Smith a super high pay?"

Helen Hermann said calmly, "According to the news I received, it should be a base pay of $20 million plus a certain proportion of the post-production share."

"A generous contract." Matthew sighed.

When he first hinted at Charles Rowan without any trace, he predicted this situation. If Will Smith-sen plays the Green Lantern, it is inevitable that he will benefit in the short term.

"Will Smith is a first-line movie star, not an outdated star like Robert Downey Jr.," Helen Herman said slowly. "Although Will Smith's subsequent works are not very successful since "When Happiness Comes Knocking", he still maintains a front-line position and good market appeal. The actual choices are relatively wide. If Warner Bros. can impress him, he will inevitably pay a high salary."

Matthew said intentionally, "He has benefited a lot."

He did not mention this matter to Helen Hermann.

Helen Hermann looked at Matthew when he heard this and didn't think much about it. After all, Matthew she knew was not a generous person. Will Smith had spoken Matthew before, so of course Matthew couldn't stand Will Smith's goodness.

"I won't talk about this anymore." Helen Hermann took the initiative to change the topic and said, "How did you talk to Christopher Nolan yesterday?"

Matthew shook his head helplessly, "It's a headache." He shrugged slightly, "Director Nolan gave me some books about dreams, so I'll study them carefully."

Compared to several films collaborating with Aziva Gossman, he has to do more preparations for the filming of "Inception" this time.

In fact, he talked more than that with Christopher Nolan. Christopher Nolan also took the initiative to mention the issue of drug use and vaguely hinted that Matthew hopes that the male protagonist of "Inception" will not have any problems like Heath Ledger in the future.

Of course this problem would not happen to Matthew. He has always hated drugs and other things.

He can't control how others in the circle treat drugs, but he won't even touch them.

Many Hollywood stars do not accompany drugs because of work pressure or mental depression, but are more seeking thrill. If vitamins are illegal, these people will still eat vitamins.

The entertainment industry is often related to drugs. Young people usually start learning from the dross and don’t let them learn anything, but is it really awesome to follow the trend and become a pilot?

Those who have watched "Home Imp" should know that "Little Imp" Macaulay Culkin, who is at his peak at the age of 8, becomes addicted to drugs as a minor and spends $180,000 a month to buy drugs and take drugs.

These people quickly burned themselves out and had reached the peak, or some people might feel that life is short, and that's what I want.

But most drug addicts have never seen anything peak, just getting worse.

No matter what situation he faces, Matthew will never touch drugs. There are many things in this world that can bring him excitement and enjoyment. Why can’t he think about it and insist on going to a dead end?

Making money can make him feel very happy, and chasing beauty can make him feel very exciting...

As a vulgar person, even in the past fifty years, he will not be tired of making money and beauties. This is the biggest motivation.

What is taking drugs and pursuing art is completely evil.

"Inception" will only start filming next year, and Matthew still has plenty of time to prepare. The few books given by Christopher Nolan are somewhat obscure, but he will read them carefully several times.

As a star-level actor, his dedication and reward can match.

As for the second half of this year, there is also "Special Forces" jointly developed by Paramount Pictures and Hasbro.
