After receiving the invitation, Matthew specially let Helen Herman look at it. Helen Herman told him that it was a very reliable art exhibition. The investment consultant of Wells Gallery was recently moving around in Los Angeles, looking for an art exhibition. Potential buyers of works, and rich and famous Hollywood stars like him are undoubtedly the most high-quality and most easily fooled customer resources.

Helen-Hellman also told him that if you are interested, you can take a look and cultivate your artistic sentiment, but if you want to bid, you must be cautious and cautious. It is best to say hello to her in advance. The water is very deep.

Matthew heard from her that it was a very formal art exhibition, and he planned to visit it. Helen Herman also supported this. Although he was a commercial film star, he had to show some high style.

Of course, Matthew must be very cautious about things he doesn't understand.

He didn't know about Lao Mei's side, but when he was on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, he had been deceived.

At that time, it was common to see news on the Internet, such as XX discovering the wrong version of RMB, XX found a family heirloom at home, and after appraisal, it was worth hundreds of thousands or even millions.

He had just left school, and when he was most short of money, he happened to have an old-fashioned porcelain pot at home. Stimulated by the news of the sudden wealth, he took pictures and found a so-called art company in the city where he worked, and went to find someone for appraisal. .

Until now, Matthew still remembers it very clearly. After the person who received him carefully looked at the photos, he gave an estimate as high as 800,000!

At that time, it was definitely a huge surprise. Excited, Matthew rushed home overnight and brought the porcelain pot over. His idea was very simple. Even if he sold 300,000 yuan, he could solve the urgent needs of the family.

In those two years, it was the time when art investment was the hottest. There were shows like identifying heirlooms everywhere on TV, which seemed to drive up a wave of collecting and searching for heirlooms in the whole society.

Affected by the general environment, and inexperienced when he just left school, Matthew was all about selling it for a big price, and there were some novels he often read that included such examples of making a fortune by spoofing?

But reality is not TV and fiction after all.

Matthew took the porcelain pot to find the art investment company, and the other party found an old white-haired expert with a long list of titles to appraise him, which required a lot of appraisal fees.

At that time, Matthew had no money, so he only gave 300 yuan. What the other party said was because the object was very valuable, he should help.

After the appraisal, the porcelain pot was worth a lot of money. Matthew was so happy that he waited for the auction to exchange money, but the other party said that the auction requires exhibition fees, publicity fees and insurance fees, which must be paid in advance.

Hearing what the other party said, Matthew was poured cold water, and his mind dazzled by money gradually sobered up. He made an excuse and left the art investment company temporarily.

The boss on the construction site he was carrying was hacked in a similar way. He paid a lot of appraisal fees and exhibition fees and publicity fees, and the result was also put up for auction, but the so-called auction is to find a few to sit there. After all the mess, the objects of the art investment company were "successfully sold", and the client's art was not unexpectedly passed in.

Everyone has held an auction, and the fees paid in the early stage are naturally gone. Even if they go to the police, the police can't do anything. The art company is completely acting according to the contract.

This incident can be said to give Matthew a wake-up call, plus a series of bad things such as salary arrears and salary demands that he encountered in the next few years, the whole person quickly matured.

Although limited to the big environment and platform, he is still swinging the sledgehammer, but he is no longer a simple-minded young man.

Hearing about art investment, Matthew unconsciously raised his vigilance.

In the next two days, news came from the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" crew that Charlize Theron passed the audition for the role of Jane Smith unsurprisingly, and her agent was also ready to start negotiations with the crew.

Matthew called Charlize Theron, but the person who answered was Stuart Townsend. He had to simply say a few words of congratulations to Charlize Theron for getting the heroine, and then hung up the phone.

The scene he saw in front of Depp's Black Mamba gave him a very bad impression of Stewart Townsend, but Charlize Theron is obviously trying to hide it, even today, what can be seen in the media about The news between her and Stuart Townsend was also a kind of love, and there was almost no negative news.

Charlize Theron's management team is still negotiating with the "Mrs. & Mrs. Smith" crew, and Matthew has entered the crew's soundstage at Warner Studios to prepare for the film's shooting.

In addition to firearms and movement training, Matthew also had enough exchanges with director Doug Liman and screenwriter Simon Kinberg.

Especially the communication with Doug Liman, let him understand that the director wants a lot of special and metaphorical ideas outside the shooting and script scenes.

Doug Liman said to Matthew that his ideal film, especially the conflicts between the male and female protagonists, is an alternative interpretation of real married life.

After communicating with the director, Matthew reread the script, perhaps under the influence of Doug Liman and Simon Kinberg. He, a guy with a very limited level of education, combined with his past experience, seems to have seen some cover-ups. The stuff behind the script.

For example, the two companies behind the male and female protagonists in the script can be regarded as two families, let alone the other side of Taiping where they once lived. Even in the United States, marriages in many places are often a matter of two families.

If this premise is used to interpret the script, for the first two years after the hero and heroine get married, they always live by the orders of their families, love each other very much, but they do not express their true self, so the relationship between the two always seems to be Across a wall, until one day, because the contradiction reached a climax and made a big shot, did they get to know each other more deeply.

This seems to be just their internal reconciliation, but things are often more complicated than imagined, because life will not always go as expected From the perspective of Doug Liman, it can be regarded as a child in the family. The couple will always fight side by side for the child's affairs, and there will be friction.

As the plot develops after the script, things obviously become even more messy. Marriage is a matter of two families, and more people are involved in the turmoil. The hero and heroine must persevere to the end for love.

According to Doug Liman and Simon Kinberg, the choice of the final shootout scene in a home improvement store implies that "marriage is like a war".

The male and female protagonists are holding various guns, and their tacit cooperation also reminds Matthew of the couple moves such as "Mandarin Duck Sword" and "Frowning Sword" in the martial arts novels he read.

Only when the emotions of the two of them reach a certain level of tacit understanding can they defeat the enemy.

Judging from Matthew's exchanges with Doug Liman and Simon Kinberg, the real core of the film is family, and family is one of America's favorite values.

In this respect, Mr. and Mrs. Smith's value orientation is very correct.

In the past few years after entering Hollywood, Matthew can actually see that all the award-winning films and mainstream commercial films in Hollywood are extremely correct in value orientation, and they will not even deviate by a single cent.

This Hollywood-style value deeply affects most movies, and movies in turn affect society.

Therefore, the current Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, in addition to their own fans, are almost one-sided abuse in the media and the public.

But the face of Hollywood stars is definitely thicker than the front armor of the US main battle tank, Matthew is like this, so is Brad Pitt.

They have not divorced Jennifer Aniston yet. The two parties are still legally husband and wife, but they are temporarily separated. Brad Pitt brought Angelina with him in a very high-profile manner under the attention of more than 120 cameras. - Julie, went to Africa to take care of the children.

The big battle they made before they left made those who saw it subconsciously think that this was a newly married celebrity couple who were going on their honeymoon...

Clearly, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and the team behind them, know a lot about public relations.

Events like this sensational celebrity couple are bound to produce a phenomenon of ubiquitous viewing and being watched all the time. Viewers are pervasive, and today's developed media acts as people's curious eyes.

In today's highly information-rich society, people being watched can never hide, even in the poor neighborhoods of Paris~www.readwn.com~ in the deserts of Africa.

At the same time, the attitude of the person being watched is also very ambiguous. The star being watched expresses their distress and tells that they were persecuted by the media's attention and that they lost their original life, but they are still bright and beautiful together, and their performance attracts much attention. The happy scene, showing all the love that can be shown.

All this has turned into a game of welcome and refusal, and the most needed sincerity of love between couples has been wiped out.

The mentality of the viewers is also very complicated. They both want them to be together, and they also want them not to be together. They need to see them together to satisfy their desire to peep, and at the same time, they need to see that their conditions are not smooth. Satisfy the sour grape mentality of ordinary people.

Let's just say, it's both happy and schadenfreude.

What has contributed to so many so-called "star couples"? Is it your own love, or the strong expectations of the audience? Do they yearn to be seen, or not to be seen? Is their high-profile love a need for expression from the heart, or a need for self-hype? Is it cool to be loved, or cool to be seen?

Matthew was in this circle and couldn't find the answer himself.
