Chapter 183: The Absolute Protagonist (Asking for Subscription)

Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

"What's going on with you and Orlando Bloom?" Helen Herman asked Matthew in a low voice, "I feel weird between you." ”

Matthew hurriedly shook his head, "What can we do? ”

It's not that she doesn't believe Helen Herman, but she can't explain it at all, after all, it's all based on what happened, how can you fool Helen Herman? Now Helen Herman has a little doubt at best, and if she explains, it will bring more trouble.

Coming to the entrance of the screening room, Helen Herman entered it, but Matthew stopped and waited with Kelly Hu, who had been waiting here before, for a while, and waited for the main creative staff of the crew to gather and enter the screening hall together.

As soon as the crew Pu appeared, warm applause rang out in the auditorium of the temple, and the applause came one after another, as if it was endless.

Producer Sean Daniel walked in the front, followed by director Chuck Russell, and then Matthew, who didn't know why, but Matthew was extremely excited when he heard this applause.

He worked hard for three years, and finally stood in front of the audience as the leading actor!

The actor is light to say, but if he wants to fight out of the thousands of troops and win this crown, people who have not experienced it can't understand the difficulties at all.

He knew that he was very close to his first small goal, which was to become a third-rate Hollywood star!

The box office success of the movie is at worst a third-rate star; if the movie fails, it is difficult to have a chance to turn over.

It's all on this upcoming film!

When sitting in the front chair, Matthew was a little expectant and a little apprehensive, this "Scorpion King" must be the dividing line of his life.

"I can't see it, just sit down. ”

In the middle of the theater, Liszt reminded his son, "Brian, is he so attractive?"

"Yes!" Brian Liszt nodded vigorously, "Didn't I let you see the trailer?

He sat down, still muttering, "I didn't find a man in Hollywood who is more MAN than Matthew!"

Liszt could only shake his head, he was almost forty years old, and the aesthetic difference between him and these fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys was too different from the film.

However, he also admits that Brian Liszt has a point, Matthew Horner is indeed a very male actor, not only in the film, but also in real life.

The Universal Pictures logo lit up on the screen, the auditorium fell silent for a moment, and the screening of "The Scorpion King" began.

As with all Hollywood action movies, there must be a scene at the beginning to highlight the main character and keep the audience watching.

Audiences who are willing to pay for tickets to watch this type of film are just handsome guys, action, muscles, and beautiful women, and basically no one cares about messy things like depth, humanity, or philosophical thinking.

In Matthew's words, audiences who are willing to watch films like "The Scorpion King" are just happy.

Even, these people don't have too high requirements for the acting skills of actors, it's enough to make people play every minute.

The first scene of "The Scorpion King" is the beginning of a traditional Hollywood-style action movie, Matthew plays Mozius who rushes into the barbarian's tent like a ghost to rescue his brother, his appearance looks savage, domineering and masculine, and the special costume highlights the strong body, very stylish but not particularly exaggerated muscles, making him full of strength and flexibility at the same time.

Mozius's action scenes, specially designed by the action director according to Matthew's own characteristics, are not the kind of wrestling-style fights that look a little clumsy, but the beauty of both power and speed.

Matthew's movements are nimble, his moves are powerful, and his moves are fatal, and the barbarian soldiers in the tent are like chickens and dogs in the face of him, and they are not vulnerable at all.

The five-minute opening scene is completely to show the strength of Matthew's character, although his acting skills are average, but also above the average level, plus the film is an action scene to create a character, Mozius can easily leave an extremely deep impression.

"The action scenes are still quite exciting. Liszt gradually became interested.

"Cool!" Brian Liszt is completely immersed in the movie, "this character is so strong! Matthew is so handsome"

In front of him, there is a girl, every time Matthew appears on the screen, she will stare at the screen closely, and when the camera briefly switches away, she is not interested in it for a moment.

"The muscles are very developed, the movements are very flexible, and the face is really handsome!" the girl is obviously a little nymphomaniac, "The mind is not simple, woo...... It's so sexy!"

She looked at Mozius on the screen in a daze, "Matthew Horner is really a perfect match for this role!"

Compared with "The Return of the Mummy", the pace of the film is not slow, and the movies of this era cannot be as fast as the rhythm of the Internet era in the future, but the wonderful action scenes one after another connect the whole film.

Of course, compared with the brilliant action scenes, the plot of the film can only be said to be average, a typical Hollywood-style business routine.

First of all, there's the unverifiable backstory, the city of Omorra, which preceded the Age of the Pyramids more than 5,000 years ago, a notorious city that was destroyed by the gods because of the sinfulness of its inhabitants.

Then there is a villain who is bad to the bone when he appears, and the big warlord Manon is naturally in the film.

Secondly, it is aimed at the positive forces of the villain.

Mannon's greedy desire for power makes the other tribes like a great enemy, in order to survive, several tribes unite and swear to kill Mannon, after repeated confrontations, the tribal alliance is always defeated, which makes everyone very confused, it turns out that Manon has a mysterious person who knows witchcraft around him, she can foresee the future, can guide Manon to deploy the battle plan.

Upon learning of this, the Clan Alliance decided to send an Assassin on a mission to assassinate the wizard.

The male protagonist, who showed his mighty temperament and clever skills at the beginning, also naturally joined the main story.

Matthew's Mozius is the only surviving member of the warrior Akkadian tribe, a strong, brave and first-class killer. But the hero is sad about the beauty pass, and when Mozyus goes behind enemy lines and discovers that the mysterious wizard Kassandra is actually a beautiful woman, he hesitates.

On the one hand, Mozius was too impressed by Kassandra's beauty to hurt her, and on the other hand, Mozius learned that what Kassandra did for Manon was not voluntary, but was coerced and coerced by her.

So, in the end, Mozius didn't make a move.

In the end, the beautiful sorceress is sure to come together with the heroic male protagonist, and the war between good and evil naturally breaks out between Mozhius and Manon.

In less than an hour and a half, the film reaches the end, and the action scene at the end is completely using the long shot of Matthew and Steven Brand, and Matthew can see that the long shot has not been cut at all.

In this way, the whole action scene seems particularly coherent, real and powerful, and it looks very exciting.

"Ah......h

A terrible howl rang out on the screen.

Brian Liszt's hairs stand on end, and he unconsciously clamps his legs, how much it hurts!

"Luckily, it's just acting. He was glad for the actor on the screen.

This villain is too vegetable, not long after fighting with the protagonist, he was killed very easily, and he is useless at all.

However, this just sets off the power of the protagonist, anyway, he watched the film as the protagonist, not the villain, so it didn't hurt.

At the end of the film, the actor Matthew Horner and the heroine Kelly Hu are really huge, especially the one in the moonlight, which is too eye-catching, and the two candidates are really suitable.

Brian Liszt then scratched his head and found that there was a problem, the plot of this movie has a hairy relationship with the scorpion?

This is the end of the screening of "The Scorpion King".

In the front row of guests, Orlando Bloom sat in his seat with his hands on his chest, shaking his head slightly, such a film and character?

"This is the first film in which Matthew Horner played the lead role?" he snorted disdainfully, "desert, beauty, witchcraft, assassination...... It's all Hollywood playing some leftover things, heavy muscles not heavy plot, heavy killing not heavy action beautiful, a person subverts a criminal dynasty's small people to achieve big careers, and holds the beauty, typical can no longer be typical routines, completely take the physical route......"

If you want people to watch such a movie, you must first ask the audience to reduce their IQ from thirty to fifteen.

With such a film and role, Stephen Sommers will still take a fancy to Matthew Horner?

"That's good. Stephen Sommos whispered to Sean Daniel, "This cut version is better than the preview version, and completely highlights Matthew's male lead, who is even better than I expected." ”

Sean Daniel nodded slightly, "Matthew is a natural athlete, but it's a pity that he was born in the wrong era......"

If it was placed in the eighties and nineties of the last world, perhaps Matthew Horner's type of actor would be more marketable.

Stephen Sommers added, "The action scene at the end was fantastic. ”

The muscular and nimble movements make Matthew more charismatic, and it also makes the hand-to-hand combat between Mozius and Manon more eye-catching, creating just the right climax for the movie.

If it weren't for Universal's opposition, he would have listed Matthew Horner as Van Helsing's number one candidate, but ...... "Scorpion King" was a box office hit, the opposition within Universal Pictures should be much smaller, after all, what they are most dissatisfied with is Matthew's fame and box office appeal.

The subtitles appeared, the applause rang out, and the auditorium of the temple burst into thunderous applause, and Matthew once again gave a standing ovation at the premiere of the film, only this time it was different from the past, he was one of the absolute protagonists.

The people who came to congratulate him appeared in front of him one after another, and their faces quickly stiffened.

At the press conference that followed, he was also the focus of interviews with media reporters, but this was only the beginning.
