Best Movie Star

Chapter 898: old cunning

Hearing such an unceremonious voice, Gal Gadot, who was very close to Matthew, turned his head and looked over, frowning his beautiful eyebrows slightly, wouldn't this be the one who came to make trouble at the premiere?

Due to the limited number of films she has acted in, although she has not seen it with her own eyes, she has heard from many people that Hollywood crews go overseas for premieres, especially in sensitive areas with North America, and often encounter people who take the initiative to ask for trouble. Most of these people are related film practitioners in other countries, mostly producers and directors.

It is not difficult to understand that Hollywood commercial films are rampant all over the world, destroying the film industry of some countries, causing many related practitioners to be affected, and thus have no favorable impression of Hollywood.

She had heard from her agent before that as many audiences in the world like to watch Hollywood movies, there are as many film practitioners outside of Hollywood that they hate Hollywood movies.

Matthew, as Hollywood's number one business star, was really approached by such people...

Gal Gadot took two steps forward and came to Matthew's side. She considered herself to be the heroine of the film and a member of the big family. She would never hide in trouble.

And she is also a little worried, if it is really guessed, Matthew will not do it, right?

According to rumors, Matthew beat Vin Diesel, beat Justin Bieber, and let go of Mexican drug dealers, as if he often fights with people.

Matthew noticed Gal Gadot, nodded slightly to her, and looked at the owner of the voice opposite.

This man was about fifty years old. He had a beard dyed with hoarfrost on his temples, and the light on his forehead extended to the back of his head. He was a typical bald head.

With just one glance, Matthew was sure it wasn't from here, it should be a Latino, or a completely unfamiliar face.

"Hello." The Latino said badly. "I'm Jasper No, a French director."

Matthew is still very conscious of being a host and hospitality, and said politely, "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Jasper-No looked serious and asked thoughtlessly, "Mr. Horner, how do you understand the art of film?"

Hearing the name Jasper-No, Gal Gadot pondered and quickly remembered who this person was.

"On this issue, I'll have time to discuss it later." Matthew didn't want to argue with people at his premiere, and he was a director who didn't even know his name. "After the premiere, you are welcome anytime. Come and talk to me about movies."

Although Jasper-No has been upset with Hollywood for a long time, he knew that the occasion was wrong, so he didn't say much, and said coldly, "I hope you understand what the art of cinema is!"

After speaking, he didn't even say the most basic polite farewell, he turned around and left.

Matthew just felt inexplicable, this unfamiliar director, ran up to him and said some nonsense, what is this? The premiere came to smash the scene?

Gal Gadot reminded, "It may be a director who is squeezed by Hollywood movies."

"Well." Matthew nodded, also thinking of this possibility, and said casually, "Don't worry about him, there are such people everywhere."

Maybe, a movie starring him was released in France, which directly squeezed the screening space of that Jasper-No's movie, and maybe also caused the other party's movie to be excluded from the theater by the theater...

Having said that, apart from a limited number of French directors such as Luc Besson, how many French directors find Hollywood commercial directors and stars pleasing to the eye?

Matthew asked curiously, "Gadot, do you know who this Jasper-No director is?"

Anyway, he never had an impression.

Originally, he just asked casually and didn't expect Gal Gadot to give an answer, but Gal Gadot nodded and said, "I've seen his movies."

"Oh?" Matthew became somewhat interested, "Tell me about it."

Gal Gadot didn't give a shit, simply said, "Jasper-No's latest work is called "Escape into the Void", which tells the story of a low-level drug dealer's soul out of his body after death, thus unfolding a long period of time. And the fantastic final journey... um, how do you say it?"

She thought about it for a while, and then said, "The scale of the film is very large, using Hollywood standards, at least NC-17."

Matthew has a general understanding, I am afraid this is a typical director who pursues art.

"Oh, by the way, he has a very famous work, you may have heard of it." Gal Gadot whispered, "Irrevocable" is Jasper-No's masterpiece."

Hearing the name of this film, Matthew has a clearer understanding. He still has no idea who Jasper Noh is, but the film "Irrevocable" has been seen more than once.

To be precise, he never watched the whole film at that time, but only watched the nearly ten minutes in the middle and the scenes at the end repeatedly.

When he first saw the plump heroine, he seldom checked it. It is precisely because of this "Irrevocable" that he still remembers the name Monica Bellucci.

Remember to find any banned movie list, and this movie is on it.

Well, that's fine art, art that lay people like him couldn't understand.

If all these can be called art, isn't the island country and that place in North America called the San Fernando Valley full of artists?

At the front door of the VIP room, a couple walked in at this time. The man was in his 70s or 80s, and the woman looked in her thirties, a typical old couple and young wife.

The two came directly to Matthew's side.

Matthew also saw them, went up to meet them, and said quite politely, "Hello, Mr. Murdoch. Hello, Ms. Deng."

"Just call me Rupert." Rupert Murdoch is very clear that Matthew cannot simply be regarded as a Hollywood star. "This film is said to have a good reputation in North America. Matthew, you There's going to be another big hit movie."

Matthew said modestly, "Not yet."

The lady Deng shook his hand and said, "We welcome you to New York when you have time."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Matthew felt that Ms. Deng's little finger crossed his palm like a promise.

Thinking of some of the gossip he had seen, he instantly had some bad associations.

Of course Matthew wouldn't show it. Maybe this woman is not bad in traditional Western aesthetics, but in terms of Eastern aesthetics, it's really not good.

"Yes." Matthew was still very polite, and the focus of his words was not this Ms. Deng, "Rupert, I must visit you next time I go to New York."

Everyone can say anything at the scene, Rupert Murdoch said with a smile, "It's very welcome." After politely speaking, he suddenly said without any warning, "Matthew, you have always been good at investing, and now the market here is more and more open, Interested in investing in the media industry here?"

Hearing the media industry, Matthew was wary, "Oh? Rupert, talk about it."

The lady Deng glanced at Rupert Murdoch and knew that he was trying to find someone to take over. It seems that Matthew Horner has such strength. It is rumored that he has an unusual sense of the market here. interest.

But Matthew Horner is not a person who grew up in this land like her, and it is often people who are ill-informed who are hooked.

Rupert Murdoch has invested heavily in the media industry here. In order to enter the media industry in this vast market, he even took the road of saving the country through the curve. He also took such a wife, but he did not expect some industries. Outsiders are not touchable at all.

"Matthew, I have some media investments here." Rupert Murdoch will make excuses for himself, "I am interested in acquiring Warner Bros., and I urgently need a lot of money. I want to transfer the business here. I don't know if you are interested?"

"The media industry?" Matthew confirmed.

Rupert Murdoch nodded lightly, "It's the media industry."

Matthew is more vigilant, but his face is normal, "I have invested in many films and have no funds."

This Rupert Murdoch is simply cunning and cunning, and he obviously dug a hole for him, ready to let him be the catcher.

Others may not know, how could he, a person who has lived here for so long, not know? Foreigners who are engaged in the media industry on a large scale here are courting death.

Moreover, as a person who pays close attention to the movie market here and the dynamics of the six major Hollywood companies, he still knows something about News Corp., the last company of Twentieth Century Fox.

Because News Corporation is definitely a company that started to expand this market very early, and even with many 20th Century Fox films since the 1980s and 1990s, it has opened the door to the national TV station here.

Matthew didn't know much about it, but he just saw some popular goods from Helen Herman. Rupert Murdoch bought Phoenix Satellite TV in 1993, costing as much as 800 million US dollars, and then founded Star Media, and also won Obtained the license to launch Chinese channels in South China.

But these are far from meeting the needs of Rupert Murdoch and News Corp. In order to truly enter the media market here, they cooperated with a satellite TV in a certain province and directly bought out the star TV station at 7:00 p.m. Halfway through the prime-time program broadcast rights~lightnovelpub.net~ To a certain extent, at that time period, the LOGO of Star Media was replaced by satellite TV.

Soon, this practice of saving the country by curve was stopped and severely punished. Murdoch suffered a serious blow and wanted to withdraw capital from here.

Rupert Murdoch thought that relying on certain political resources could break through the limitations of the media field here, but seriously underestimated the complexity of the market's business and political environment. .

The money is not less, with little effect...

How could Matthew take such a disk? Only fools would invest in the media industry on a large scale here.

Seeing that Matthew had no intention of investing, the Rupert Murdochs quickly went elsewhere, seemingly looking for other suitable takers.

Matthew looked at the time and reminded the numerous guests that it was time to go to the screening hall.

"Fast and Furious 5" is fully released here at a speed that leads the world.
