Matthew was left to Helen Herman for all the negotiations on "I Am Legend". What he needed was an ideal result, not a detailed negotiation process.

Although he knew Will Smith was also operating the male lead, he didn't take it too seriously.

In the latest negotiation, the late-stage share ratio offered by Helen Hermann was reduced to 5% of the global box office. Although he still did not reach an agreement with the crew of "I Am Legend", this bargaining drama also showed a certain effect. The crew of "I Am Legend" increased from $15 million to $16 million.

Although the distance between the two sides is still very far away, they also show their sincerity to continue to cooperate.

It is normal for a male lead in a Hollywood first-line production to compete with multiple actors. If you want to get the role, it depends on the actor's hard strength, the relationship network and the operation of the agent.

In terms of hard power, if you retreat a few more years later, Matthew will definitely be at a disadvantage, but Hollywood producers are more watching the box office results of movies starring in the past three years. Matthew undoubtedly has an absolute advantage in this regard.

Will Smith has starred in the past three years, including "Man in Black 2" in 2002, "Jedi Men 2" in 2003, "I and Robots" in 2004, and "Public Enemy" that was just released.

Compared with Matthew, his box office results in his films in the past three years are clearly at a disadvantage.

There are even movies like "Jedi Men 2" that loses money at the box office and finally recovers costs through DVD.

Based on the news feedback from Helen Hermann in recent days, it is not difficult to tell that he is still in the preferred position of Aziva Gosman and the crew of "I Am Legend".

Of course, anyone will turn around if the earth is missing. Hollywood is missing a superstar, and it is still the most powerful industrial center of world movies. He never thought that the little friendship he had with Aziva Gossman when he collaborated on "The Smiths" could play a role in negotiations involving millions of dollars or even tens of millions of dollars. If the final terms cannot be reached, it is not impossible for Aziva Gossman to choose others.

As soon as the Oscars ended, the promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Casket" gradually began to make efforts. Matthew temporarily left the crew of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" and participated in several publicity activities planned by Disney Pictures.

At the same time, the crew also released a new batch of promotional posters, mainly Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swan and David Jones, and entered the poster columns of major North American theaters early in the morning.

Matthew also appeared in a theater in Los Angeles and revealed Will Turner's personal poster on the spot. Whether it is him or Disney Pictures, they attach great importance to the promotion effect of the poster.

No one will deny the importance of movie posters, because they have too much impact. They can be posted on street walls, or published in newspapers, magazines and TV. Its light can shine on thousands of movie fans.

Moreover, the same video can have multiple posters, and their focus is different, which can attract different groups of people.

For example, Will Turner's first poster was designed as a hot energy, which could attract enthusiastic young people; the second poster of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan highlights the "Romance" of the film, which can win the hearts of many women.

Currently, a good poster designer is paid a lot, and the poster designer of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Gathering Coffin" is paid as high as $750,000.

Matthew then flew to New York to participate in a movie picnic meeting held by the crew in a large park in New York.

For this picnic, Disney Pictures invited more than 200 entertainment reporters from the industry to attend.

"Faced with those annoying entertainment journalists."

In the temporary parking area of ​​the park, Kayla Knightley, who was wearing makeup, sat in Matthew's makeup trailer and muttered, "It's such a headache."

Matthew shrugged, "There's no way, you have to do things when you get the money."

Kayla Knightley muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why can Depp not come?"

"The crew had a similar publicity event at Disneyland Paris the day after tomorrow." Matthew contacted Johnny Depp before coming to New York. "It is probably more difficult for Depp to face more European entertainment journalists than us."

"That's it..." Kayla Knightley bit her lower lip and said, "I'm mentally balanced."

Matthew put on his coat and came to Kaira Knightley, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "This is a business event, no different from an announcement meeting. We want to give entertainment journalists some sweetness and let them write more positive reports."

Kayla Knightley sighed, "I know that media reporters are very important to us actors and the movies we star in."

As she grows older, her experiences are also increasing.

Matthew nodded and said, "The relationship between film and entertainment media is inseparable today. If film production companies do not have media marketing for films, their performance will be greatly reduced; on the contrary, entertainment media also needs funding from film production companies to better exert their influence and attract more readers or audiences."

News has penetrated into the entertainment industry, and the entertainment industry has also become obsessed with news. Any hype about the film industry in the press will bring economic benefits to the film industry.

"Okay, don't show off the pitiful knowledge you've got from Helen Herman." Kayla Knightley hit Matthew first, and reminded, "It's almost time, let's go out quickly."

She walked over and took Matthew's arm. Matthew took her out of the makeup trailer and slowly walked to a huge lawn under the guidance of Disney Pictures staff.

Many members of the crew and senior executives of Disney Pictures have already had a hot fight with entertainment reporters. There are many long dining tables placed on the lawn, and the dining tables are filled with various food and drinks. Since it is a picnic, of course, self-service dining is indispensable.

Matthew and Kayla Knightley are the last ones to arrive, which is also the custom of Hollywood. The biggest cards often play time is placed at the end.

Soon, the reporters gathered up. At the reminder of the crew's public relations manager, Matthew also separated from Kaira Knightley so that he could deal with more reporters and achieve better publicity purposes.

More than twenty male and female reporters surrounded him, and Matthew was still relaxed and said without waiting for the reporter to ask, "Everyone, since I got off the plane this morning and haven't eaten breakfast yet. Can you let me eat something first?"

Although it was a picnic party, entertainment reporters knew that the purpose of coming here was not to eat and drink.

Matthew simply pointed to an empty round dining table not far away and said, "We'll all go get some food, and then sit there and eat and chat, okay?"

After saying that, he didn't wait for the reporter to answer, and he clamored to ask for a long dining table for food to walk around. The reporter finally remembered that this was the crew's home court and took the initiative to make way for him.

Matthew picked up the porcelain plate, chose a few favorite meals, poured a glass of clear water, and came to the round dining table. As soon as he sat down, reporters carrying the dining plate came over one after another and sat in other seats.

Soon, all the seats were full, and later the reporter had no place to sit, so he simply sat on the grass.

Matthew took a bite of the vegetable salad, nodded, and said, "Well, the chef is good today and the taste is OK."

Sitting on his left was a bald middle-aged male reporter. He quickly asked, "Matthew, can you ask a question?"

Perhaps because of the atmosphere on the scene, the reporters seemed a little polite at this moment.

Of course, these are entertainment reporters invited by Disney Pictures. They all understand some unwritten rules about tacit understanding. Even if they want to go wild, they will not choose this place.

Matthew put down his knife and fork, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, and said, "Yes."

The next moment, more than a dozen arms were raised on the dining table, and everyone raised their hands on the grass around the dining table.

"You ask first." Matthew pointed to the bald middle-aged male reporter and said.

The bald middle-aged male reporter was not polite and asked directly, "Matthew, you are a big star now. Do you think it is difficult to treat your fame correctly?"

"I can't explain this kind of thing very clearly." Seeing that the problem was not sharp and friendly, Matthew said slowly, "There are many kind people who recognize you outside and will come to say something nice to you. This kind of thing will not have much impact on you, and life will not change because of this. I always feel that I am a professional actor. Although I will be recognized in many places, I don't think I am a very famous person."

As soon as he finished speaking, many reporters raised their arms. Matthew pointed to a female reporter sitting on the grass. The female reporter immediately stood up and asked, "How do you usually encourage yourself to cheer up again when you are frustrated in your work and life?"

Matthew scratched his eyebrows, "Sense of humor!" He thought for a while, and explained, "After encountering problems, it will be difficult for you to overcome this level unless you can see the interesting side of this matter. If you take your life too seriously, this road will not be easy to go. So maintaining a sense of humor can make you see the brighter side of things."

Then he ordered a young male reporter sitting opposite the dining table.

Compared with the two reporters just now, the male reporter's questions are more in line with his reality.
