But in more than half an hour, Bella Anderson came back.

"I called the publisher and the Kyle and his wife separately, and asked roughly clearly." Bella Anderson pulled open the chair and sat opposite Matthew's desk, and said in detail, "Since the book "American Sniper" has been on the bestseller list, many small and medium-sized film companies have come into contact with Taya Kyle, just as we expected. Taya Kyle wants to wait for a price, and wants to seek higher copyright transfers, and also put pressure on us through other companies."

Matthew nodded slightly. If it weren't for Taya Kyle, the copyright of the movie would have been obtained long ago.

But this kind of thing is too normal in the commercial society. Just like the movies he invested in are seeking the greatest profit, Taya Kyle also wants to sell her husband's unique experience to a satisfactory price.

Bella Anderson continued, "Weinstein Pictures also noticed this book, and its autobiography is in line with their usual shooting and production style. In terms of the publishing house, the internal competitor who is responsible for the editor-in-chief of "American Sniper" matched Harvey Weinstein and Kyle, and the two sides had this talk today."

She cleared her throat, "Harvey Weinstein and the Kyle couple did not reach an agreement. I called Chris Kyle, and Chris Kyle seemed to hate Harvey Weinstein. He revealed on the phone that Harvey Weinstein wanted to use his power to suppress others, but he pushed him back."

"This is Harvey Weinstein's usual style." Matthew shook his head, "but Texas cowboys don't eat this set."

Bella Anderson added, "At present, the Kyle couple has not reached an agreement with others. We are still in the first sequence. Taya Kyle has contacted other companies, more to put pressure on us."

Hearing this, Matthew made some consideration and made a quick decision, "You continue to negotiate with the Kyle couple, and you will decide if you have less than 10 million US dollars, and you can get the copyright of the movie "American Sniper" as soon as possible."

"Okay." Bella Anderson nodded slightly, "I have been suppressing the copyright transfer fee before, making Taya Kyle think that $5 million is the upper limit we can accept, and then increase the price appropriately later. I guess they will sign the agreement soon."

Matthew waved his hand, "You will handle the specific matter."

Bella Anderson doesn't say much, and plans to go back and prepare for a new round of negotiations with Taya Kyle.

"There's one more thing," Matthew said, "I heard that Harvey Weinstein is going to go to this year's Cannes Film Festival to choose a film?"

Bella Anderson thought for a while and said, "Weinstein Pictures participates in commercial fairs at the three major film festivals every year, buys out some independent production rights, and gets them for North America screening operations."

Matthew said lightly, "In this way, Bella, get the negotiations with the Kyle, and you can also check it out at the Cannes Film Festival today."

"We don't have the ability to publish." Bella Anderson thought Matthew also wanted to go to the film festival to find the right film to buy out copyright.

Matthew shook his head gently, "You should keep an eye on Harvey Weinstein. If you want to buy anything, you can just get it. We don't want the copyright of independent art films. Those films are useless to us. Our purpose is to become a bargaining chip for the copyright seller to raise prices, so that Harvey Weinstein can pay a greater price if he wants to buy out the film."

Bella Anderson nodded immediately, "I understand."

When she left, Matthew sat in the chair and thought for a while. Although he didn't know if Harvey Weinstein deliberately jumped out to disgust him in "American Sniper", he would definitely hit him back.

Now he just hits lightly, but in the future he will be unable to turn over.

Ronan Farrow's latest news, after several months of hard work, he has convinced several actresses, including Ross McGowan, to get some oral narratives from them about what Harvey Weinstein did, but just a few people are far from enough and more people need to come forward.

There is also Bob Weinstein's side. If internal and external attacks are launched at the same time, the situation that Harvey Weinstein will face will inevitably be even more difficult.

Then there is the social situation.

This matter not only requires them to investigate and launch behind the scenes, but also to cooperate with the social development situation.

When the feminist movement became more prosperous and the female leftists had a stronger voice, they suddenly launched a fatal blow. Faced with the stormy public pressure of the whole society, even Hollywood giants could not withstand it.

You still have to be patient...

Matthew sighed, called Helen Herman and Amanda again, made an appointment to meet at Angels Agency, and then rushed over and discussed with the two of them about Harvey Weinstein.

Whether it was Amanda or Helen Herman, his ideas were basically the same as him, and it was not time to start.

After a few days of rest, Matthew returned to the crew of "Fast and Furious 5" again to continue shooting the film.

The open-air set of Disney Studios has long been arranged in the form of a slum in Rio de Janeiro. Originally, such scenes were the best shot in Rio de Janeiro, but everyone knows that there is a place where crimes are rampant, so there is no need for the crew to take those risks.

In front of the camera, Matthew jumped over a low wall, climbed onto the roof, and ran forward. Not far from the front, a strong Latin man was running wildly. The man was agile and played some parkour-like difficult movements from time to time.

The camera mounted on the slide rail was moving fast, chasing Matthew tightly.

Matthew had recovered from the chaos in Rio de Janeiro overnight, his body was filled with explosive power. After only a few seconds, he approached the escaped Latin man according to the scene design.

Seeing a large green sponge mat in front of him laying on the ground, Matthew knew that the time had come, and he pushed the ground with his legs and rushed forward, hitting the escaped Latin strong man and fell on the sponge mat together.

Matthew had just fallen on the sponge mat and immediately turned over and stood up. He was obviously faster than the Latin strong man. Before the Latin strong man could get up, he rushed up and pressed on the other party, and an arm even strangled the Latin strong man's neck.

The strong Latin man wanted to resist, but he was easily subdued.

"ut!" Director Justin Lin's shout rang out, "This one has passed!"

Matthew let go of the Latin man, stood up and pulled the stuntman up, who nodded to him as a thank you.

The shooting was transferred to another venue, Paul Walker snatched the car on the speeding prop train, and Matthew also joined in it. These scenes were extremely thrilling from the camera, but they were very safe when shooting. Many high-speed sports scenes were actually cameras.

Like Matthew and Paul Walker, they are more posing.

Close-ups of such commercial action movies are always indispensable for being cool and handsome.

Of course, there are also high-difficulty shots.

After filming a relatively simple scene of playing cool and handsome, the action guide found Matthew and Paul Walker and explained the focus of the next action scene.

"Paul, you run on the roof!"

The action guide pointed to the top of the prop train and said, "Run at the fastest speed!"

He then said to Matthew, "You stand on the pickup truck car driven by Daniel Wu! The pickup truck is connected to the truck and it won't move very quickly."

Matthew and Paul Walker both nodded.

If the train runs at high speed, such scenes are difficult and dangerous, but the speed of the prop train is similar to that of a person jogging.

The shooting began soon, and the prop train started to move. Paul Walker ran across the roof and soon chased the pickup truck.

"Jump!" Daniel Wu in the driver's seat shouted, "Brian, jump down!"

Matthew looked ahead, as if there was a cliff there, and shouted to Paul Walker, "Just now, Bryan! Jump!"

The train tracks have roadbeds, and the pickup truck is not very close, so it is undoubtedly difficult to jump over.

Paul Walker looked ahead while running, rushed towards this side without hesitation, and then jumped high. Matthew quickly made way for Paul Walker.

The figure in the air fell like a big bird and jumped onto the pickup truck compartment. The inner wall of the compartment was transformed from soft materials, removing the momentum of Paul Walker when he jumped down.

But this is not enough.

Perhaps because he used too much force when he jumped down, Paul Walker landed on the pickup truck's compartment, tilted his body and rushed forward.

Matthew quickly reached out and grabbed his arm, and Paul Walker finally stabilized his body.

"Let's go!" Matthew patted the pickup truck roof hard and shouted to Daniel Wu, "Let's go!"

He and Paul Walker then squatted down.

Justin Lin also called for a stop to shoot at this time, and the shot was successfully completed.

Paul Walker stood up and moved his legs and said, "This action scene is really not easy to shoot."

Matthew patted his arm, shrugged, and said, "Let's go and prepare for the next one."

In the past few days, the crew has basically filmed the roles of the two of them as the absolute male protagonists. As the two characters with the most important roles in the film, naturally, there are scenes of fighting side by side.

"Tiring logging" is not only a slogan, but also a reflection in practical actions.

In the following week, Matthew stayed safely on the crew to shoot, and the shooting was generally smooth, and Justin Lin was always pushing the shooting progress according to the plan.

In early April, the crew filming continued, but Matthew's scenes at Disney Studios were all completed. He temporarily left the crew and rushed to New York on the East Coast to participate in a charity event that had been confirmed before.
Chapter completed!
