Chapter 459: It's Hard to Become Famous (Ask for Subscription)

Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

At the entrance of the Hollywood Theater in Disneyland, Matthew was blocked by several reporters as soon as he walked out, and immediately a reporter asked loudly, "Excuse me, Mr. Horner, at the end, Will Turner and Jack Sparrow all let the Nordic sea monster swallow their mouths, are these two characters dead?"

The other reporters looked at the reporter in unison, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Souls" left a continuation of the past, if the two protagonists are hanging, what about the post-production of "The End of the World"? Could it be that Elizabeth Swan is the only one to take the lead?

This question is simply too idiotic to ask.

Matthew didn't answer, this kind of spoiler question, he couldn't have answered, escorted by Brown Williams and several other bodyguards, went straight to the Cinémathèque opposite, and then walked through the Cinémathèque to the Mercedes Benz parked at the side door, where Helen Herman was sitting and waiting for him.

"Let's go. Brown Williams in the passenger seat instructed the driver, "Go back to Beverly Hills." ”

He glanced at Helen Herman in the rearview mirror and took the initiative to raise the front and rear baffles.

"Is the Beverly Hills house renovated?" asked Matthew.

Helen Herman replied, "It was over last week. ”

Matthew adjusted his chair and asked, "Will you have to wait a while before moving?"

Helen Herman nodded slightly.

Just earlier this year, she bought a detached villa from Beverly Hills, which is not very large, but it is also a mansion.

In recent years, Matthew has made tens of millions of dollars from film production to contract endorsements, and Helen Herman as his agent, plus other actors under his umbrella, also earns a lot of money.

Helen Herman quickly got down to business and said to Matthew, "I had a few conversations with Robert Iger before the movie started and got a not-so-good news from him. ”

Matthew turned his head to look at Helen Herman, who didn't stop talking, "Don't you want to take the opportunity of the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to go to the other side of the Pacific Ocean? ”

"Oh?" Matthew was puzzled at first, then understood, and asked, "Hasn't Soul Gathering Coffin been reviewed over there?"

Helen Herman nodded slightly, "Robert Iger told me that without a review, "The Coffin of Souls will not appear in the cinema market on the other side of the Pacific, and going there for the premiere will naturally be canceled." ”

Matthew shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything, after all, this situation was normal in his eyes.

Helen Herman couldn't understand, "This is a family movie that tends to be young, so it can't pass the review, so people really can't understand what their standards are?"

Matthew thought about the "Soul Gathering Coffin" that had just been screened, and said, "I guess there is something wrong with the demonized appearance of David Jones and his men." ”

These demons and monsters are not allowed to appear on the big screen, isn't it?

Helen Herman still couldn't understand, "But it's a family movie." ”

Matthew shrugged, "Then I can't figure it out." ”

Whether it was or is now, he has no access to big scissors, and everything he knows is hearsay, and he can't do it accurately, and he doesn't know what the audit of big scissors is based on as the basic standard.

If there are basic standards, the producer will be clearer when shooting the film, such as the PG-13 and R ratings of the MPAA, the benchmarks may fluctuate slightly, but which ones are PG-13 and which belong to the R rating standards, it can be described as simple and straightforward, and the crew who want to shoot PG-13 films will not touch the content of the R rating.

"Forget it. Matthew shook his head, "I'd better find time to go over by myself." ”

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Soul Coffin" was clicked off by big scissors, not to mention "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", it is impossible to be released on the other side of the Pacific, it is better to take a free time and go around the other side of the Pacific, it will be a vacation.

Helen Herman reminded, "You don't have time this month. You'll be cooperating with Disney Studios' promotional campaign for Coffin of the Soul, and you'll be attending Tom Cruise and Katie Helms' pre-wedding party at the end of the month. ”

Matthew sighed and said, "If you owe someone a favor, you always have to pay it back." ”

The last time Tom Cruise attended his charity auction, not only did he donate $200,000, but later bought a vintage guitar provided by Johnny Depp for $300,000 at the auction.

It can be said that Tom Cruise has given enough face.

The so-called exchange of courtesies, Matthew is unlikely to turn down Tom Cruise's invitation, and going to the Hollywood Celebrity Center to attend a party is a must.

"You know what the Hollywood Celebrity Center is. Helen Herman seemed a little uneasy, and said, "Don't go to the party, come back and tell me you believe in Scientology." ”

Matthew didn't really care, "Do you think I'm religious?"

Helen Herman turned her head to look at him and said, "I almost forgot, you're a typical non-believer. ”

She then changed the subject, "You may encounter difficulties from the media in the past two days, the expectations of this film are too high, and it is estimated that word of mouth will be a little problematic." ”

Matthew had already thought of this and said, "I'll pay attention." ”

In his opinion, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Souls", like most Hollywood sequel movies, is not as good as its predecessor, but it is definitely not a bad movie.

For a typical commercial movie star like him, as long as the audience is willing to buy it, the film critics don't have to care too much about it, and the box office explosion is enough to kill most of the voices that sing down.

The driver took Helen Herman to the Beverly Hills Hilton before taking Matthew back to Horner Manor, where the security level of Horner Manor has risen more than one level after the last theft, thanks to a lot of work by Brown Williams and a professional security company.

In particular, the cliff behind the villa has been built with a wall without affecting the condescending view, and even super rock climbers can no longer touch it from behind.

Unfortunately, the Beverly City Police Department and the Los Angeles County Police Department have not yet found the suspect, and they have not received any more useful clues other than knowing that it is a rock climber and possibly a fan of him.

Matthew is not too worried, but Helen Herman has doubts, in case it is an extreme fan, things will be relatively troublesome, and there are not a few stars in Hollywood who have suffered from the harassment of fans in the past.

John Lennon and Jodie Foster are typical of them.

Back in the manor, Matthew didn't go to rest immediately, and it won't be long before the box office statistics of "Gathering Soul Coffin" will be released, and now the North American theater chain has already realized computer networking, and it is quite easy to get specific box office statistics.

Brown Williams didn't leave for the time being, arranged security for the night, and took people around again before driving home.

Matthew sat on the sofa in the living room and waited quietly, he didn't worry about his safety, let alone the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Coffin".

Especially the latter, the pre-sale box office is here, and the box office in North America exceeded 100 million in the first weekend is the lowest estimate.

As for security, in addition to the internal security of Horner Manor, the Beverly City Police Department has also strengthened patrols in the vicinity, and the power invested by the police department in the regal area is far from being comparable to ordinary residential areas.

In this situation, no one can sneak into Horner Manor quietly.

"How are you feeling tonight?"

Walking into the luxury apartment in Westwood, Amanda asked Alexandra Daddario, who was coming back with her, "I saw a lot of reporters interviewing you." ”

Alexandra Daddario kicked off her high heels, put on a pair of relaxed slippers, and slumped over the couch in the living room, saying, "Those reporters didn't care about me, they were asking me about my relationship with Matthew, and many of them saw me going to Disneyland in Matthew's car." ”

Amanda was not surprised, poured two glasses of water and placed one of them on the coffee table in front of Alexandra Daddario.

"Thank you. Alexandra D'Addario was not polite, took a sip from her glass, and said, "It's so hard to become famous." ”

"Everybody has a process. Amanda sat next to Alexandra D'Addario and said, "When I first met Matthew, he talked all day long that he wanted to be a big star, and everybody laughed at him and said he was daydreaming, and even I thought he could be a little actor at best." ”

Alexandra Daddario hadn't heard Matthew say this, and suddenly became interested and asked, "He must be miserable, right?"

Amanda put down her cup and said, "It's very miserable, I remember when he was at his worst, even eating was about to become a problem." She reached out and patted Alexandra Daddario's thigh, "Compared to Matthew, we're all lucky." ”

Alexandra Daddario shrugged slightly, "I don't see where we're lucky. ”

Amanda laughed, "We have a good family. ”

Alexandra D'Addario suddenly thought of what Matthew had asked her during the audition, if her father didn't have some influence in New York politics, could she get a supporting actress in "I Am Legend"?

As a girl who was still a little proud, Alexandra Daddario didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't deny it, so she simply changed the subject and asked, "Amanda, you've known Matthew for many years, how is he?"

Amanda and Alexandra Daddario have known each other since childhood, and can hear the subtext behind these words, pinching her chin and thinking about it for a while, she said directly, "Matthew is a good friend of mine, he doesn't have anything to say to his friends, but he is also a typical playboy." ”

Alexandra Daddario fell silent for a moment, and Amanda patted her thigh again, "If you want a romantic relationship between men and women, you can try it, you want to find a stable relationship partner and stay away from him." ”
