There was still an hour before the meeting, and the Kyoto Hall, which can accommodate thousands of people, was already full, and in the front row, the long guns and short cannons set up by those media reporters were densely packed like a forest, and behind them were film school students and ordinary movie fans, many of whom held Matthew's posters in their hands.

In recent years, many movies starring Matthew have been introduced, perhaps the number of fans cultivated by the theater is not too much, but the piracy everywhere on the Internet has really made many people know the name Matthew Horner.

Now Tom Cruise has not relented, Leonardo DiCaprio specializes in the Oscar for Best Actor, Brad Pitt has mediocre commercial appeal, Will Smith has been unable to do it since "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and Nicolas Cage has fallen......

Perhaps even Matthew himself didn't realize that he was already Hollywood's most influential commercial star in the world.

In this market, what Hollywood movies can really spread nationwide is actually big-budget commercial films, especially action movies.

The most recognized Hollywood stars are also action stars such as Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Tom Cruise.

Even Nicolas Cage, who is inexplicably popular here, is not popular because he won the Oscar for Best Actor, but because of the series of classic action movies in the 90s.

This is the reality of the market, and it is not something that can be changed by holding an Oscar for Best Actor and saying that he is very high.

Of course, in the eyes of the academy, Matthew's image may not be very good.

"His acting skills are not good. ”

An older teacher at the film school sat at the front of the bench and said to a slightly younger colleague, "In Hollywood, Matthew Horner's acting skills are at the level of Tom Cruise, and this kind of commercial star doesn't help us very much." ”

The slightly younger teacher didn't see it that way, and said directly, "The students in the acting class won't approve of what you say." He looked at the rostrum of the newly decorated auditorium, "The students in the acting class want to be not actors, but stars." ”

Hearing this, the older teacher was instantly speechless, what did the students in the acting class want, how could they, who were teachers, not understand?

"What they're going to do is stardom. The slightly younger teacher added, "Now, there seems to be no one in the world who is more famous than Matthew Horner, right?"

The older teacher nodded, if you want to say that the hottest movie star in the world, who else is there besides Matthew Horner?

He looked back, and the students of the academy were all looking at the portrait of Matthew Horner in the center of the background wall of the rostrum and talking, the students of other departments were better, and the students of the acting department were the most eager.

The envy in it can be seen by anyone.

"Borrowed, borrowed. ”

A girl with a ponytail hurriedly ran over, saw her friend waving, quickly smiled embarrassedly, and squeezed through the crowd, "Excuse me, please go over for a while." ”

It took a long time for her to get to her friend's side.

"Bai Xue, you're late. ”

My friend took away the bag from one of the seats and complained, "Do you know how stressful it is for me to occupy this seat for you?"

"Isn't there a traffic jam?" Bai Xue quickly sat down, took out a bottle of mineral water from her schoolbag, and stuffed it to her companion, "Thank you, my Nini beauty." ”

The girl named Nini was very beautiful, took the mineral water, unscrewed it and took a sip, and said, "I owe a lot of favors to ask for these two seats!"

Bai Xue hurriedly smiled and said, "I know, I know, I'll treat you to eat well when I turn around." ”

As she spoke, she looked around, the auditorium was already full, and now even the corridors were crowded with people, if it weren't for the cameras set up in front of several corridors, it was estimated that the front of the rostrum would be full of people.

"Matthew is such an influencer. She muttered, "These people are here to see Matthew." ”

Nini put away the mineral water and said, "Isn't this nonsense? Matthew Horner! Hollywood superstar! You know what? My classmates at Communication University are crazy, and many people are begging grandma to sue grandpa for a relationship, just so that they can come in today and see Matthew Horner with their own eyes. ”

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Bai Xue, didn't you get Matthew Horner's autograph?"

Bai Xue opened the bag, took out the autograph, and said ostentatiously, "Look at it, it's very special." ”

"What could be special?" Nini opened the autograph book and saw the signature on the first page, her eyes widened, "This is Matthew Horner's signature?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" said Bai Xue deliberately.

Nini shook her head, "Is there any mistake, this is Chinese! It can't be written by yourself, right?"

Bai Xue said seriously, "This is Matthew Horner's signature." ”

Nini knew that her friend was not a trickster, and immediately opened her mouth, "Does he know Chinese? You mean Matthew Horner knows Chinese?"

This line of signatures with greetings is not beautiful, but it can be called neat, how many foreigners can write such beautiful Chinese characters? Especially since he is also a Hollywood star!

To paraphrase the Internet, this is too mysterious, right?

"He speaks Mandarin very fluently. Bai Xue's face was full of adoration at this time, "I don't think it's worse than the mountain." ”

This kind of worship is not unreasonable, it is not that she is shocked that a foreigner can speak Chinese fluently, after all, there are many precedents such as mountains, and it is not to the point of shock, but a top Hollywood star, can speak fluent Chinese, what does it mean?

It shows that he has studied the language of this country carefully and likes the culture of this country.

This sense of identity makes people feel from the bottom of their hearts that he is to a certain extent his own person, rather than a complete outsider from the other side of the Pacific.

Just as Nini and Bai Xue were discussing, music suddenly sounded in the auditorium, and the originally boiling discussion suddenly stopped.

The famous host Chen Datou stepped onto the rostrum, and after a routine opening remark, he said loudly, "Next, I invite Hollywood superstar Matthew...... Horner!"

At the exit of the backstage, Matthew had already finished preparing, and when he heard the voice of the big-headed host, he immediately strode onto the rostrum, and waved to the bottom with a smile as he walked.

A very ordinary slim T-shirt and jeans, plus a pair of sneakers, can not only highlight the figure, but also look close to the people, and have a sincere and enthusiastic smile on the face, which shows the masculine beauty of men, which will make people feel good.

Matthew made an excellent first impression instantly.

The auditorium erupted in applause.

"Matthew, are you here for the first time?" Chen Datou had a brief exchange with Matthew backstage, this time in Chinese, she pointed to the bottom of the rostrum, and said, "Let's introduce ourselves to the audience on our side." ”

The audience looked at the two people on the stage, a little strange, Chen Datou is said to speak English fluently? How can he stupidly ask questions in Chinese? There is no personal translator on the spot? Aren't you talking to this foreigner like a chicken? Can he understand?

"Hello everyone, it is a great pleasure to come to the capital and to the capital film academy. Matthew speaks Chinese fluently, "I am very honored to be standing here." ”

There was silence in the auditorium for an instant, and many people did not react.

The older teachers and the slightly younger teachers in the acting department looked at each other, what was the situation?

The former also subconsciously gouged out his ears, as if suspecting that he had auditory hallucinations.

The slightly younger teacher tilted his head and looked at Matthew on the rostrum, this is not wrong, it is a foreigner with a high nose and deep eyes!

Nini was also stunned, just heard Bai Xue said that she didn't feel it, but now that she heard it with her own ears, she couldn't believe that this Matthew Horner's fluent Chinese did indeed have the level of a mountain.

It is said that some of her classmates at Communication University are not fluent in Mandarin as this Hollywood star.

What's going on?

It wouldn't be surprising if he stayed here all year round like the mountain, but the question was that this guy was here for the first time, right?

Bai Xue smiled and looked at Matthew, then at Nini, and then at the other people around who were in a stunned state, and was extremely happy.

Thinking that day at the airport, she also reacted in this way, and it seemed that others were no better.

The friend next to her, Nini, who wants to be famous and a big star, hasn't she been suppressed?

The auditorium was eerily quiet for two seconds, and Matthew was pleased with the effect and continued to speak fluent Chinese, "Introduce yourself." My name is Matthew, a horse to a successful horse, a cultivated one!"

He said that I was called, not that I am, and the meaning of these two sentences felt completely different.

And this Chinese name does not need to be erected at all, it is most appropriate to use the transliterated word directly, and it sounds very much like a real Chinese name.

Before coming over, Matthew felt that his name was born with a bit of Chinese affinity.

Two fluent Mandarin words were spoken in succession, and many people in the auditorium reacted, after all, there were many foreigners who spoke Chinese very fluently.

These people were stunned because who would not have thought that a big Hollywood star could speak Chinese so well.

Matthew didn't wait for all the people in the auditorium to react, and then said, "My name, explained in Chinese, probably means this." ”

He deliberately showed a bright smile on his face and joked, "A successful person with cultivation." ”

As soon as these words came out, many people at the scene couldn't help laughing.

Matthew specifically asked, "I have limited Chinese skills, so it's okay to understand myself, right?"

Wow –

The auditorium erupted in laughter, but it wasn't sarcasm or mockery, it was all good-natured laughter.

"This foreigner is so funny!" said the older teacher, "This explanation is interesting!"

The younger teacher also said with a smile, "This Hollywood star is special, speaks authentic Chinese, and makes Chinese jokes." ”

A little later, Nini leaned back with a smile, covered her mouth and laughed and said, "I'm laughing to death! No, I'm going to laugh to death, this Matthew Horner is so interesting." ”

As the laughter spread throughout the auditorium, applause rang out somewhere, and then the applause rang out like a tidal wave, and it lasted for a long time.
