Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

Hearing Helen Herman's words, Matthew sat down on the couch with a straight face, "Say it." ”

Helen Herman was obviously ready for a long time, and said directly, "First, as long as you go out of the house, you have to pay attention to your clothes anytime and anywhere, don't care about other star actors, you must be careful! Our goal is not just an ordinary star!"

She thought for a moment, "Let's put it this way, my goal for you is very simple, to build you into a tasteful business superstar!"

Matthew nodded and said, "I like this positioning. ”

This does not conflict with his goal at all, but Matthew is a little skeptical, "Isn't it said that acting in a literary film can only highlight the style by winning the Oscar?"

"Who told you that?" Helen Herman shook her head, "there is some truth to this statement, but it is not absolute. I ask you which one do you think is more stylish, Tom Cruise or Kevin Spacey. ”

Matthew spread his hands, "Do you need to ask?"

Helen Herman said, "When it comes to A-listers, especially superstars, what really determines the commercial value is why do you think those people break their heads to grab the Oscars? Quite simply, this can make their commercial value rise like a rocket in the shortest possible time." ”

She didn't seem to want Matthew to go down another path, and deliberately said, "If your own commercial value is high enough, this kind of thing will also be raised." ”

Matthew nodded slightly.

Helen Herman said, "Remember, this is Hollywood!

Perhaps because of the same smell, Matthew fully agrees with Helen Herman's claim.

The circle itself is very complex, and each person's position is different, and naturally the opinion is also different.

"You need a professional stylist!" Helen Herman continued, "the clothes you wear in any public place, the accessories you wear, even the hairstyle, sunglasses, rings, etc., must be specially planned by the stylist for you! ”

Matthew knew what she meant, "You're going to make me a male god." ”

"Male god?" Helen Herman was slightly stunned, then understood, "That's right, that's a very apt statement. ”

I don't know why, Matthew suddenly thought of Hollywood stars such as Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, and it sounds a bit similar, as if Johnny Depp, who seems to be out of the mainstream, is essentially taking this route.

Once upon a time, these were Hollywood's top business superstars, and even small people like him were like thunder, enough to witness the super influence of these stars.

What's wrong with being a star like that? He would laugh in his dreams.

"Now for the second point. "Soon, you'll need a personal assistant to help you with your personal affairs, especially on the set, and you've been involved in filming, so you know that there is a professional assistant who can keep your energy on the job." ”

"That's true. Matthew felt a lot about that.

His most recent film is a costume, and it takes a few hours just to put on makeup, and once you put on makeup, some things are quite inconvenient to do.

Helen Herman was probably thirsty, so she went to fetch a glass of water, and after taking a sip, she said, "You are a star now, any privacy you have can be converted into money, and the assistants provided by the crew are no longer reliable." She paused and said, "Of course, there's no need to rush this now, you can wait until your new job begins." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, compared to the assistant of the crew, the personal assistant who signed the confidentiality agreement was undoubtedly more reliable.

Helen Herman put down the water glass, "Third, if you encounter any emergencies in the future, you must notify me as soon as possible, this must be remembered!"

Matthew has no opinion, "I understand. ”

"Fourth, don't promise anyone or any company, you are popular now, and some things are different from the past......"

The two talked in the room for three hours, even lunch was a takeout ordered by Matthew, and in the afternoon the reporter was a little less, and he and Helen Herman drove to the Screen Actors Guild to settle the rest of the contract.

In the evening, Matthew rushed to Universal Studios to participate in a press conference convened by Universal Pictures, where Philip Clascheston, director of production at Universal Pictures, and Stephen Sommers jointly announced that they would expect to invest $160 million to create a fantasy adventure action movie with Van Helsing as the absolute protagonist. Werewolves and Frankenstein and a series of other famous Universal monsters, and Stephen Sommers is working to incorporate the mummy and the Scorpion King into the script.

This big news from Universal Pictures is undoubtedly a big stimulus to the "Scorpion King" that is being screened, which is why Universal Pictures specially chose this time period to hold a press conference.

On the one hand, the production budget of $160 million is not unique in today's Hollywood, but it is also very rare, and on the other hand, how to integrate and balance so many famous characters in one film, these are all problems.

As soon as the press conference ended, Matthew didn't stay long and left Universal Pictures early.

However, he also noticed that Stephen Sommers didn't seem to pay attention to him anymore, speculating that he might have found a more suitable candidate for Van Helsing.

After all, compared to a $160 million production, he is just a small star with limited appeal.

What Matthew would like to see most is that Stephen Sommers and Orlando Bloom can hook up and commit adultery...... No, it's a strong team, in that case, Orlando Bloom will be much less likely to compete for the little blacksmith in "Pirates of the Caribbean", and even if he does, I'm afraid the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew will have some concerns.

The two projects of "Van Helsing" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", judging from the current situation, have a certain time conflict from planning to preparation to shooting, and it is too unlikely that one person will play two protagonists at the same time, and there are too many uncontrollable factors.

Since the premiere of "The Scorpion King", Orlando Bloom and Stephen Sommers were introduced, Matthew has not met Orlando Bloom again, and he doesn't know how far Orlando Bloom has worked.

However, he specifically inquired about Orlando Bloom and his agent in and out of Universal Studios in recent days, and the newspaper also saw the news that Orlando Bloom had lunch with Stephen Sommers.

I hope the two have hooked up together.

At the moment, "Van Helsing" has not yet begun the casting of actors, everything is possible.

In contrast, "Pirates of the Caribbean" seems to be moving more slowly, and the project has not been announced to the public until now, but Matthew and Helen Herman have been following Jerry Bruckheimer's dynamics,

In fact, in the hands of Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer, "Pirates of the Caribbean", which has not yet been announced, is much faster than "Van Helsing", which is just on paper.

Helen Herman once entered the Disney studio to see, the second stage has been set up for a short time, Jerry Bruckheimer recently went to Rosario, Mexico, and wanted to shoot the scene at sea in the huge artificial lake where James Cameron filmed "Titanic", but was preempted by Twentieth Century Fox's "Raging Sea", according to Disney internal information, Jerry Bruckheimer intends to shoot some of the location scenes in the Caribbean.

According to Helen Herman's estimates, it will not be more than the end of May at the latest, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" will announce the project and begin the selection of actors.

Whether it's a London accent or a rather fancy fencing, Matthew is well prepared, and his biggest wish now is not to see Orlando Bloom's name on the audition list.

Beverly Hills, Orlando Bloom stood in the middle of the huge living room of the newly acquired mansion, illuminated by the bright daylight of day.

He also has the capital to be angry, "The Lord of the Rings" got more than $300 million at the box office from North America, Legolas is a mess, and he is the focus wherever he goes.

Orlando Bloom even had a feeling that as long as he has an independent big-budget film that succeeds at the box office, he will inevitably enter the front line steadily, and if he works hard for a few more years, it is estimated that he will reach the level of Tom Cruise.

In the corner of the living room, his agent hung up the phone and walked over and said, "Universal Pictures has officially announced that the project of "Van Helsing" has been established. ”

"Hmm. Orlando Bloom nodded, "We're going to pick up the pace." ”

The agent is very confident, "Universal Pictures is quite recognized internally, and Stephen Sommers can also have an impression of you, and has agreed to let you go directly to the audition with makeup, as long as you audition with makeup is good, we are very likely to get the role." ”

Orlando Bloom emphasized, "It's not very likely, I have to win this role." ”

Judging from the several meetings he has had with Stephen Sommos, the other party at least appreciates him a little and seems to like the character of Legolas very much.

The only problem is that it is still a competitor.

"What about Matthew Horner?" he asked, concerned.

It is said that he is still busy with the promotion of "The Scorpion King", which was a box office hit in the first week, and if he wants to fight for it, he is also a competitor with a certain strength. ”

Orlando Bloom didn't speak, but hoped in his heart that "The Scorpion King" would open high and go low, and there would be a big drop next, so that even if Matthew Horner wanted to compete, his capital would be limited.
