Chapter 713 Music Lessons
A few days later, when Matthew met with James Wenhe Ray Waller, he learned that Dimen Pictures was interested in this project. This was not surprising. After all, Dimen Pictures itself is good at making horror movies, and it also relied on the "Scream" series to develop into a second-rate company in the industry. Horror movies are their main business.
Besides, James Wen has no intention to cooperate with Dimen Pictures.
However, just in case, he signed a agreement with James Wen. Although the contract restrictions between James Wen and Lionsgate Films will not be officially signed until Halloween, the draft agreement can increase the cost of James Wen's violation of the promise.
Hollywood is a Vanity Fair, and Matthew thinks that there are too few people like him who are credited.
This also reminded him that Dimen Pictures is a professional master in operating horror films. After Ray Werner submitted the script and plan to Dimen Pictures, they thought James Wen's new project was very valuable. What does that mean?
I guess James Win's project is very interesting.
Therefore, Matthew still attaches great importance to James Win. He heard that James Win was very curious about Oscars and asked Helen Herman to help with the operation. Although he did not get an invitation to the Oscars ceremony, he asked Tina Brown, editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair" to ask for a ticket to the "Oscar Night" party.
When James Win received the ticket, he called him to thank him.
If James Tremella entered the venue with the puppet Billy and combined with the classic lines, he would probably become the protagonist of the party.
Of course, he just thought about it, no one should have done this.
While busy with these things, Matthew basically goes to the crew of "Inception" in Warner Studios every day, and stays there for half a day, mainly for rehearsing some action scenes.
In terms of literary dramas, Christopher Nolan emphasizes the actors' on-the-spot performance. Although the scenes will be rehearsed in advance, they are more familiar with the characters and plots.
"Come on, Matthew!"
"come on!"
In the rehearsal venue, there was a cheering sound, and the petite Emma Roberts stood in front of a wooden table, constantly encouraging Matthew.
Matthew held the right hand of the movement director in his right hand, and his expression was quite relaxed. The movement director was tightly tense, obviously holding his breath, his face turned red, and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
He and Matthew were wrestling their wrists, and they had already used all their strength, but they felt that the hand they were holding was as if they were cast by steel, and they did not move at all.
James McAvoy put his hands on his chest, looked here and shook his head, and said to Michael Fassbender next to him, "Belt is really unthinkable and insists on challenging that monster Matthew."
Michael Fassbender nodded, "The gap is too big."
Sure enough, Matthew suddenly exerted force, and almost no effort was spent, he pressed his hand on the wooden table.
"What a big hand force." Belt pulled out his hand and kept shaking his wrist, "You should go to a professional competition."
He asked Matthew, "How did you practice it?"
Matthew shrugged, "It's probably natural."
Emma Roberts, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, walked over and reached out to Belt, saying, "You lost, one hundred dollars!"
The two of them made a bet before, and Belt admitted to the loss, took out a hundred dollars, put it in Emma Roberts's hands, and deliberately complained, "This is really an acquaintance and lost money."
Matthew turned his head to look at Emma Roberts and said, "Adney, won't you treat me if you win?"
"Yes!" James McAvoy also said, "Treat, Adni!"
Emma Roberts picked up the bill and shook it, and said loudly, "I'll invite everyone to have afternoon tea."
After saying that, she took out her cell phone and made a phone call, asking a drink shop near the studio to deliver drinks. She also asked everyone on the rehearsal venue what they wanted to drink.
After calling, Emma Roberts counted on his fingers for a while, and suddenly said, "No!"
"What's wrong?" Matthew asked curiously.
Several others also looked at Emma Roberts.
Emma Roberts deliberately looked sad, "I just calculated and spent $5." She sighed helplessly, "I am the winner! Now, the money I won is gone, and I still pay $5."
Everyone laughed, including Matthew.
Soon, someone brought all the drinks and everyone gathered together to drink tea and chat.
This is also part of the rehearsal, which can increase mutual familiarity, and they call each other by character names in the crew.
Emma Roberts drank half a cup of black tea and asked Matthew next to him, "Cobb, where is your wife?"
Matthew knew she was asking Anne Hathaway and replied, "Mer is still in his dream."
"Ha..." Emma Roberts lowered his voice, saying in a voice that only Matthew could hear, "Divide her, your wife is too pretentious."
"Mel can't come out in the dream." Matthew smiled, "It doesn't matter if you can't leave."
Emma Roberts whispered again, "Don't you think she's really pretentious?"
As he was talking, the door of the rehearsal room was suddenly pushed open from outside. Anne Hathaway walked in with a smile, looking in a pretty good mood.
Michael Fassbender asked curiously, "Mel, aren't you coming?"
Anne Hathaway smiled so hard that her mouth was pursed into a thin line.
Matthew thought of the luncheon held at the Regent Hotel in Beverly Hills today and asked, “Are you nominated?”
Untie the coat outside, Anne Hathaway showed off the short dress inside, strode towards Matthew, and said as she walked, "I was nominated for Best Actress."
She looked at everyone present, "Don't leave after get off work, I'll treat you tonight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emma Roberts stood up and said, "I have something to do tonight and I can't go."
Anne Hathaway's face darkened for a moment, then returned to normal, and then said, "I don't plan to call you."
Emma Roberts snorted, "I'm not interested in your invitation."
Matthew looked at Anne Hathaway first, then Emma Roberts, and shook his head slightly. The two of them hadn't dealt with much since the first rehearsal.
In a crew, there are two female characters with similar roles, and the actors who play are very confident, and often have a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Not to mention the crew, this situation will happen in school classes.
The two women were about to rise to the level of sarcasm, Matthew glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost time, let's get off work."
He is the biggest actor on the crew, and even if Emma Roberts and Anne Hathaway are too confident, they will not refute him in person.
Anne Hathaway said at this time, "I have booked a banquet hall at Sheraton Hotel, everyone must come."
Matthew estimated that Anne Hathaway might have already booked a celebration party. No actress born after the 1980s has won the Oscar for Best Actress. For Anne Hathaway, winning the Best Actress nomination is already a huge victory.
Everyone left Warner Studio one after another. Michael Fassbender pulled James McAvoy, who was not driving, and went to the Sheraton Hotel first. Cillian Murphy and Michael Cain, two Nolan direct descendants, did not get along well with the younger generations like Matthew. The two of them went all the way.
When Matthew got in the car, Emma Roberts followed.
"Don't you go?" Matthew asked when he saw her close the car door, "Why did you change your mind?"
Emma Roberts shook his head, "I didn't change my mind, I won't go." She explained, "Aren't you going to the Sheraton Hotel? When you passed by Eighth Street, you put me down at the Bellalafa Art Salon, and I asked my aunt to do hair there."
Matthew nodded and said to the driver, "Go from Eighth Street."
Anyway, Emma Roberts will just go there.
As soon as the car started, Matthew's phone prompt sounded and took out a look. It was the email sent by Bella Anderson, which was the nomination list for the 81st Academy Awards.
"I remember your aunt seemed to have applied for the Best Actress of the Oscar at this time?" Matthew asked.
Emma Roberts nodded, "Yes." She blinked, "She lost the election, and when the luncheon was still in progress, I knew the nomination list."
Matthew continued to check the emails and said, "You are well-informed."
"Of course," said Emma Roberts, "I also know that you were nominated for the worst male lead in the Golden Raspberry Award."
The list of nominations for the Golden Raspberry Awards was announced yesterday. Projects related to Matthew have become the nominees. "The Man of the People" has won four nominations, including the worst male and female protagonists, the worst director and the worst film. "Twilight" also has six nominations for the worst male and female protagonists, the worst male and female supporting roles, the worst director and the worst film.
It is no exaggeration to say that Matthew will become the big winner of this year's Golden Raspberry Awards.
"In my impression, it's not your first time Jinlingmei nominated?" Emma Roberts asked curiously, "Didn't it mean Jinlingmei will make the actor's career aborted?"
Matthew didn't care at all, shrugged and said, "I don't remember that I won four or five Golden May nominations. Do you think my career is over?" He continued, "Michael Baby, I've been nominated more times. Isn't it still a first-tier business director?"
Emma Roberts thought about it and it was the same.
Mercedes-Benz turned into Eighth Street, and Matthew's cell phone rang again, and this time there was a phone call.
Seeing Matthew answering the phone, Emma Roberts suddenly realized that Matthew was saying something strange about the teacher and the student. When Matthew hung up the phone, he asked curiously, "What are you going to do tomorrow? Be a student for someone?"
Matthew said seriously, "I will have music class with the teacher tomorrow."
