Chapter eight hundred and forty first endorsement invitation
After a while, Matthew found Amanda. Amanda was very interesting and introduced some famous figures in the New York business district to him, including Twitter to govern the country and his daughter. The first daughter in the future is a bit strong, but she has a very good figure. If the majesty on her chest has not undergone surgery, it can be called the second peak of nature he has seen outside Alexandra Dadario.
Matthew was a little interested in her, but he just stayed at the level of interest. As long as he thought of some indescribable horrors, all the thoughts about the first daughter would disappear.
Manpower is sometimes exhausted.
"Are you interested in her?" Amanda looked at the tall blonde woman with a tall and majestic chest.
Matthew shook his head, "No."
Amanda smiled and whispered, "Her father is a master of hype. If you happen to his daughter, it will probably become a topic of hype in the next ten years."
"Don't worry." Matthew glanced at the father and daughter again, "I can't afford to offend me."
Only he himself understood the meaning of this sentence. Amanda was confused at first, then shook his head, and did not continue the topic. There were many wonderful words from Matthew in the past.
She suddenly saw two interesting people, quickly stretched out her fingers and poked Matthew, saying, "Look, there is an old friend of you over there."
Matthew followed Amanda's gaze and then met Natalie Portman. Natalie Portman seemed to be talking to an old Jewish man in the film school, both of whom looked very happy.
In addition, she was holding a man who looked a little familiar.
Matthew recalled that he met this man many years ago in "The Mummy Series", and he had just pursued Rachel Weiss.
This person must be Darren Aronovsky.
It turns out that Natalie Portman and Darren Aronovsky have developed to this level.
Then, Matthew remembered some information given to him by Rachel Weisz. Darren Aronovsky and Natalie Portman are both Jewish, which is an invisible advantage in Hollywood. If Rachel Weisz did nothing, maybe these two people would really gain something at the Oscars.
Seeing Matthew staring at Natalie Portman, Amanda reminded, "This woman is not simple."
Matthew nodded slightly, "I know."
“There is a rumor in the New York circle,” Amanda said, “It is said that Natalie Portman had an abortion at about nineteen when he was studying at Harvard.”
"Really or not?" This was the first time Matthew heard of such news.
Amanda shrugged, "It's probably 80% fake." She whispered, "This woman has an average family background and looks average, but she looks like a winner in her life. Naturally, many people in New York don't like her."
Matthew looked at Amanda with a little surprise, "When did you gossip so much?"
"It's very simple." Amanda said lightly, "I don't like her. I don't like women who decorate themselves like saints like this."
Matthew looked at Natalie Portman again, as if he felt a gaze from behind. Natalie Portman suddenly turned around and looked over, then found Matthew, and nodded to him with a smile.
"I'll go over and say hello."
Since we have met them all, it is too unreasonable to talk about it. Anyway, he and Natalie Portman have always had a good relationship on the surface.
While Natalie Portman and Darren Aronovsky bid farewell to the old man from the film school, Matthew walked over and greeted with a smile, "Hi, Nat."
"Good evening, Matthew."
Natalie Portman returned with a bright smile, then looked at Darren Aronovsky beside him. Just as he was about to give an introduction, Matthew took the initiative to extend his hand to the other side, "Hello, Director Aronovsky, we have seen it a long time ago."
Darren Aronovsky had almost no intersection with the commercial film industry. He shook hands with Matthew and said politely, "It happened many years ago."
To be honest, he has no favoritism for this business star who can only show off his vulgarity.
But he wasn't stupid either, knowing that he couldn't afford to offend someone like Matthew Horner.
So, after a few greetings, Darren Aronovsky found a reason to see an acquaintance and walked to the other side.
Natalie Portman stayed because Matthew still had value in her eyes.
"I heard that "Fast and Furious 5" has started filming?" Natalie Portman deliberately raised the topic, "Is the filming going smoothly?"
Matthew nodded slightly, "I guess the shooting part will be completed in May."
Natalie Portman deliberately said in a joke, "Will there be more characters in the future? Why not leave one for me?"
How could Matthew agree to this? What is the use of Natalie Portman for commercial movies? This can only be stopped at jokes.
"I heard you're back in the independent film industry?" Matthew said vaguely, "Have you finished filming the new work?"
Natalie Portman smiled, "The filming is over." She glanced at Matthew and said openly, "This new film is called "Black Swan", directed by Darren, and premiered this year's Venice Film Festival."
Matthew nodded, "I've heard of it."
"The goal of this new film is this year's awards season." Natalie Portman didn't need to hide it, because it was very clear at the beginning of the project. "I'll ask you to support it at that time."
She vaguely heard about some of the situations in this year's Oscars. "The Bomb Demolition Force" won the Best Director and Best Picture, and the supporters behind them were power from Matthew.
Although it is difficult to judge how big this force is, I think it has played some role.
Matthew made a false promise at one point, "No problem, Nat."
Natalie Portman couldn't help laughing, "Then I'll say thank you in advance."
In her opinion, the films starring Matthew and the films shot have never been aimed at Oscars, and there is no competitive relationship between the two parties, and her relationship with Matthew seems to be pretty good.
"You're welcome." Matthew said with a smile.
Oscars, will "Black Swan" still make a difference at the Oscars? He is not sure, but he and Rachel Weisz have prepared some very special things for "Black Swan".
Especially the flames of hatred of Rachel Weisz have been burning.
After chatting with Natalie Portman for a few more words, Matthew said goodbye and returned to Amanda, who was talking to a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
Seeing Matthew, Amanda showed a helpless smile, signaled to the middle-aged man to him, and said, "This science fiction writer has something to ask you to ask me to introduce him to you."
Matthew made a gaze with Amanda and roughly understood that Amanda didn't know this so-called writer. He probably saw that Amanda had just talked to him and then came over.
"Hello." Matthew has always been very friendly in public, looking at the middle-aged man and asked, "What's the matter with me?"
The middle-aged man smiled embarrassedly, with a little shy face, "You... Hello, Matthew." He seemed not very good at language expression, "I...I am... your fan, and I have always... liked the science fiction films you star in."
Matthew nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, just say it slowly."
Seeing Matthew's smile, the middle-aged man's expression gradually became clear, "I am Andy Will, deputy director of the creative department of "Warcraft" of Blizzard Games."
Hearing this, Matthew was a little curious. What did Blizzard people ask him for? Do you want to adapt "World of Warcraft"? The game adapted movie is a pit in Hollywood!
He has heard of the name of "World of Warcraft" and has also downloaded the "World of Warcraft" movie from the Internet, but as a pure passerby audience, he looked confused.
The middle-aged man named Andy Will was expressing his feelings more and more clearly, saying, "I wrote a novel last year, a science fiction novel that was serialized on the Internet."
He took out a USB flash drive and handed it to Matthew, "This is a copy of the novel, I want to..."
Speaking of this, Andy Will scratched his head embarrassedly, as if he didn't know what to say.
Matthew took over USB flash drive and said with a smile, "Do you want me to see if there is any possibility of adapting a movie?"
"Yes! Yes..." Andy Will said with a little shyness, "Can you see?"
Matthew put away the USB flash drive and said, "Yes."
Andy Will quickly said, "I left the contact information on USB flash drive."
Matthew nodded slightly, "I'll give you news after seeing it."
"Thank you." Andy Will breathed a sigh of relief.
He has sold his books to many Hollywood companies. Thanks to his Blizzard executives, he has also met many executives and producers of film companies, but almost no one is interested in his novels.
After all, it is just a science fiction novel that is serialized on the Internet now, and it is not even physically published, so it is too difficult to attract the attention of film companies.
Just so happened that he saw Matthew Horner today, and he also carried a copy of the USB flash drive from the first half of the serialized novel with him. He had an idea and decided to try his luck.
It seems that luck is pretty good.
Matthew didn't take this USB seriously. He chatted with Amanda for a while and then wandered around the banquet hall. During this period, he met Elizabeth Holmes. The other party chatted with him and asked him directly if he had any interest in investing in her company.
Among North American billionaires, Matthew's net worth is not ranked, but he is definitely the most famous one.
"Mr. Horner, this is a rare opportunity." Elizabeth Holmes is very good at taking advantage of the situation. "Mr. Rupert Murdoch is determined to invest in my company. If you join, it is definitely a wise decision that you can invest in Apple and Marvel."
Matthew actually knew very well that he was now qualified to be a financial backer.
But he is very conservative and cautious in some ways, otherwise he would not have only two properties so far.
"I don't have liquidity," Matthew said with a polite refusal, "I have invested in multiple movie projects and my liquidity is very tight."
But Elizabeth Holmes suddenly changed his tone, "Can you invite Mr. Horner to be the spokesperson for theranos?"
Chapter completed!
