The so-called things are just things between men and women. When passing by north of Burbank, Matthew did not let the driver stop, and Alexandra Dadario did not make any comments. He followed Matthew to Beverly Hills, and that night he provided Matthew with a rough wave.

Since he successfully obtained the ticket to participate in the surfing competition, Matthew naturally would not be polite.

For the days after Thanksgiving, he was addicted to this surfing game.

There are always sports magazines that rank the top ten most exciting surfing places in the world. The first place is often difficult to produce, but if Matthew comes, the beach called Alexandra Dadario is definitely incomparable to other places.

Surfers like Matthew are very good at playing, and the devastating huge waves cannot overwhelm the challenge.

Life is like a play and all depends on waves. The highest level of waves is that you can surf without waves!

The great power of nature is all included in his control, and this is the greatest charm of surfing.

At the same time, "Twilight" has entered its second weekend. As expected, the film's box office plummeted the next weekend, down 65% compared to the first weekend, but the revenue of $27.86 million is enough to ensure that "Twilight" will win the weekend box office rankings for the rest of the year.

Two weeks after its release, Twilight's North American box office totaled $156.4 million.

Judging from the current trend, it is not difficult for this film to exceed US$200 million in North America, but it is basically impossible to hit US$250 million.

In addition, many overseas countries and regions have also begun to screen the film one after another, and overseas box office has easily earned as much as 50 million US dollars.

Things like girl hearts and Mary Sue will not be lacking in any country or nation with different cultural backgrounds.

Since we have to go back to the crew of "Special Forces" filming, Matthew specially found Sean Daniel and Sophia Coppola to talk about the sequel of "Crescent Moon", and set the tone and general direction of the sequel.

Since "Twilight" has been successful, we will naturally continue this successful model.

"Twilight" can be said to be the first time Matthew and Studio 13 fully operated a film. The distributor Disney Pictures also played a key role, and both parties were very successful in the overall operation of the film.

Matthew also truly has the experience of operating a movie in an overall manner, which is also a valuable gain for an actor who is developing towards a producer.

He started by looking at a set of things, contacted the author to buy the copyright, searched for the right young actor, found the right director and producer, set the tone that suited the full set of films, and left a foreshadowing at the end of the first part so that the sequel would spread the story bigger and bigger.

Shooting a movie is not the same as operating a movie.

To put it bluntly, as he said before, this is the difference between making movies and selling movies.

One is a job that belongs to craftsmen and the other is a job that is marketing. Although each has its own division of labor, the ultimate goal is to sell as much copy as possible and earn one more nickel coin.

Through careful observation and analysis, Matthew came to a conclusion that teenagers like Twilight and The Hunger Games can completely become another box office growth point in Hollywood that can operate for a long time in the long term.

And he also completely understood one thing: never underestimate those teenagers!

These young people with strong energy and wide interests have always been the new force in the box office market. They have clear love and hate and are willing to contribute. With their joint promotion, Hollywood is very likely to have one box office myth after another of teenage movies.

Behind the box office myth are those popular teenagers who have been sought after. With these popular fans and popularity accumulated by these best-sellers, the film company can even get a considerable box office result without wasting too much energy.

Twilight is just the beginning!

For example, he won the copyright of "Twilight" from the negotiations between Paramount Pictures and Pinnacle Entertainment, and snatched the copyright of "Twilight" before the release of the "Twilight" movie, and bought the copyright of Susan Collins' "The Hunger Games" at a seemingly high price, but actually taking advantage of it. The same thing will be hard to have another next time.

Because Hollywood is always a profit-seeking world. No matter what theme, as long as it has enough box office potential, a large number of companies will flock to it. After the box office success of "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games" and other medium- and low-cost teenager films have won consecutive box office success, a trend of buying teenager adaptation rights will explode, especially the works of well-known teenagers will become the target of major companies, and many of them may be sold before the copyright has been published.

In this foreseeable copyright snap-up battle, no one wants to lag behind others. Regardless of whether they can shoot or not, the most important thing is to get the right to shoot first.

Therefore, the price he paid for to win "The Hunger Games" was actually very low.

Just in December, Matthew left Los Angeles and rushed to the Sonora Desert to meet with the crew of "Special Forces" filming there to continue filming the remaining scenes of the Duke.

His last scene on the crew was filmed in the ice and snow in Iceland, and now he has moved to the hot desert area.

Since the Sonora Desert is located at the junction of the United States and Mexico, including Arizona, California and Sonora, Mexico, Matthew came here this time and brought all ten bodyguards over there.

Of course, on the crew, the crew will be responsible for the expenses of his bodyguards.

This is also a Hollywood convention, but only big stars can enjoy it.

Filming in the hot desert is a test for the actors. Even in December, the temperature in the Sonora area is very high, and the duke played by Ma Xi Jinping needs to wear a full set of desert equipment from American soldiers to shoot.

He is pretty good, after all, the desert training suit takes into account the performance of heat dissipation and breathability.

In contrast, Karolena Kokuva, who plays a redhead, is much more uncomfortable. The filming here is all outdoor action scenes. She wears a black tights every day to shoot or wait for the shooting. Black itself is relatively easy to absorb heat. In order to highlight the actress's figure, Hollywood only pursues visual effects. Whether it is actually suitable for wearing it, who knows who wears it.

This former Victoria's Secret angel is like soaking in water every day when removing makeup.

During the filming, Jason Statham also joined the crew and played Colonel Brad, an important figure in Cobra.

The officer, who once worked in the Pentagon, caused the Duke's elite squad to be ambushed.

Matthew also talked specifically with Jason Statham. Jason Statham was once very famous on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, but it didn't cost much to invite him to play a secondary villain. Jason Statham's pay was not very high, and he could only be the protagonist in the B-level movie circle before, and the B-level action movies filmed were basically the same.

In order to squeeze into the mainstream movie circle, he also took the initiative to lower the conditions.

"Jason..."

After a filming, Matthew took the initiative to say to Jason Statham, "I have always been interested in free fighting. If you have time, we will compete?"

Jason Statham shook his head quickly, "I used to practice diving and was not good at fighting."

After hearing what he said, Matthew had to give up this idea. Only then did he know that Jason Statham was a diving athlete when he was young, he was a diving athlete with Nina Dubov in terms of rhythmic gymnastics. He once joined the British National Diving Team and participated in the Commonwealth Games and the World Championships.

Sure enough, Hollywood stars have all kinds of careers before they become famous.

Matthew and Jason Statham have many rival scenes, and the Duke's pursuit of Colonel Brad is also the core of the crew's desert scenes.

Shooting is basically action scenes.

In front of the camera, Karolena Kokuva, wearing a black tight suit, raised her crossbow, shot down a Cobra soldier, and shouted to Matthew, "Leave it to me, don't let Brad run away!"

Matthew calmly, raised his gun and shot another Cobra soldier, turned around and chased him in the direction where Jason Statham escaped.

Stepping on the hot sand, he was like a real soldier, raised his vigilance, lowered his posture, and the moment he saw Jason Statham's figure, he lay on the sand and rolled three times in succession.

The gunpowder set in advance by the crew successively detonated one after another. The ground he had just rolled over was like a bullet, and bursts of smoke and dust came out.

Immediately, Matthew shot and fired back, but he also failed to hit the target.

Whether in the comics or in the script settings, Colonel Brad is the elite among the elites, just like the Duke.

The only difference is that in the movie Brad changed from a major to a colonel, and his image became cool and no longer wretched.

The character in the comics and toys has a one-eyed bearded look. His wretched appearance makes people know that he is a villain at a glance. Although in the old animation, Brad's stern sternness is nothing to do with coolness, as a soldier, he has not humiliated his title of "combat expert".

Before joining Cobra, this person was already famous in the war world. All countries and regions had outstanding achievements that cannot be underestimated. He was good at various cold soldiers, hot weapons, and chariots and planes. He was able to control the battlefield as soon as he did evil, he naturally became a thorn in the eyes of various countries.

It was almost noon and the weather became extremely hot. Today's filming ended. Matthew changed back to his clothes, went to the other side of the camp, knocked on the door and entered Karolena Kokuva's trailer. Karolena Kokuva's hair was wet, obviously she had just taken a shower, and there were several black tights with exactly the same style on the clothes hanger behind her.

Matthew pulled a chair and sat down, pointed to his black tights, "Change it, and go out with me."

Karolena Kokuva knew that Matthew had completely let herself go on her, but she didn't say anything. After all, she actually got a female second-team, changed into costumes, followed Matthew out of the trailer, and walked towards the endless sand dunes.
Chapter completed!
