Watching an unhappy Liv Taylor leave in her own car, Orlando Bloom entered the hotel and immediately dialed the phone number of agent Alan Corsian.

"Alan, it's me. He first asked, "Is there any progress in the work?"

Orlando Bloom knew that if he wanted to go further, he needed a consistent work, and he needed other roles that could be handled in addition to Legolas.

Legolas is not the main character, nor does he carry the film on his own.

The voice of the Homo economicus came over, "The Daredevil crew has turned us down, they have already finalized Ben Affleck as the leading actor. The current crew of "X-Men 2" ......"

"X-Men 2," Orlando Bloom said directly, "Didn't I say that? This crew doesn't have to think about it, I'm not going to play a small supporting role that doesn't matter." Alan, I'm not the same as before, and I don't have to think about this kind of small role anymore. ”

The agent over there didn't speak, and Orlando Bloom said, "I got the news that Universal Pictures and Stephen Sommers are planning a super big project, with an investment of maybe more than $150 million, an absolute actor movie, have you heard?"

"Nope. The agent asked curiously, "Where did you get this news from?"

Orlando Bloom didn't answer, but said, "The source is very reliable, can you go and look it up, see if there is a project, what kind of actor does the project need, is it suitable for me?"

"Universal?Stephen Sommers?" the agent seemed to be considering, and after a moment he said, "Well, I'll ask someone now." ”

Putting away his phone, Orlando Bloom stood in front of the glass curtain wall of the hotel, looking at his prosperous beauty, and suddenly laughed, and smiled extraordinarily brightly.

Who would have thought that going to a party would also get such news from Matthew Horner, but Stephen Sommers was willing to reveal such news to Matthew Horner, presumably he must have been listed as one of the candidates for the leading actor, and he may have been stuck with Universal Pictures because of his fame and box office appeal.

Does Matthew Horner still have a chance? He doesn't know, he doesn't want to know, he just knows that this is a rare opportunity for him.

As for the friendship with Matthew Horner, what is it in front of such a character?

Orlando Bloom believes that if he gets along, Matthew Horner will be like himself.

When he went to bed at night, Orlando Bloom dreamed that he had become the absolute protagonist of a top Hollywood production, not a supporting role like Legolas, and the film was a box office hit and word of mouth was against the sky, and then pushed him to the top of Hollywood, becoming a super A-list superstar like Tom Cruise!

Probably because the dream was too much, he didn't get up in time the next day until he was woken up by a phone call from his agent.

"So early?" Orlando Bloom touched his phone and put it to his ear, "Who?

"It's me, Alan!" the agent's voice rang out in the earpiece, "Orlando, I've checked with someone to confirm that Universal Pictures is indeed planning a super production with Stephen Sommers, with a budget cost of not $150 million, but $160 million!"

"$160 million?" Orlando Bloom sat up, "Any other news?"

The agent said on the phone again, "Stephen Sommos has completed the script, and it is estimated that after the release of "The Scorpion King", Universal Pictures will officially announce it to the public, probably to find a way to promote "The Scorpion King". ”

"What about the male lead?" is what Orlando Bloom cares about the most.

"It's said that you need a very cool, very young version of the male lead!" the agent went to inquire and learned a lot about the situation, "Orlando, I think this is perfect for you!"

Orlando Bloom agrees, "I think so, too. He thought for a moment and then asked, "Do they have any candidates for the leading actor?"

The agent replied directly, "Stephen Sommers has some liking for the actor who played the Scorpion King in "The Mummy Returns", just the friend you met on the crew of "Black Hawk Down". ”

"Matthew Horner?" Orlando Bloom stood up, and that wasn't good news.

"Universal doesn't quite agree. The agent's words reassured him again, "Thinking that his fame and appeal are seriously insufficient, Universal Pictures prefers to use young actors who have a certain appeal, outstanding appearance, and not particularly high salaries." ”

Orlando Bloom thinks further, isn't this a character tailored for himself, cool, young, handsome, charismatic, and good-looking...... He lacks neither.

"Alan, I'm going to fight for this role!" he said eagerly, "Alan, you must help me win this role!"

"Orlando, calm down! You listen to me......" The agent's voice gradually raised in the earpiece, "Due to the box office success of the two "Mummies", and their internal optimism about "The Scorpion King", Universal Pictures will give Stephen Sommers a lot of power in this project, and at the same time as a screenwriter, director and producer, if you want to get the male lead, you must get his approval." ”

Before Orlando Bloom could speak, the agent added, "I don't know Stephen Sommers well, so I can't speak in front of him." Aren't you friends with the Scorpion King actor? You tell him that if you go to the premiere of "The Scorpion King" next month, you're going to meet Stephen Sommers and find a way to hook up with him. You go and curry favor with Stephen Sommos, I'll figure out something else, and we operate on two fronts. ”

"Okay!" Orlando Bloom said, "I'll call Matthew Horner in a moment, and it's certainly no problem to go to the premiere." ”

The agent over there told him on the phone, "Matthew Horner is one of Stephen Sommers' favorite candidates, you must not show the idea of competing for this role in front of Matthew Horner, continue to applaud him, make full use of his relationship with Stephen Sommers, and get close to Stephen Sommers, understand?"

"Don't worry, I know what to do. ”

Ending the call with the agent, Orlando Bloom walked into the bathroom, ready to wash up, and call Matthew again.

I drank a little too much wine last night, and Matthew got up late, but fortunately I didn't get drunk, and I didn't feel a headache after getting up.

He took it out and looked at it, and saw that it was the Orlando Bloom number.

"Hi Orlando. Matthew answered the phone and said deliberately, "Are you willing to get up from the arms of a beautiful woman so early?"

Although he has an incompetent appreciation for Liv Taylor, this woman is recognized by the media as a very beautiful actress.

This is probably the difference in aesthetics, which is very difficult to adjust.

He used to think that Nicole Kidman was very beautiful, and for a while the screensaver for his smartphone was Nicole Kidman, but many co-workers said that Nicole Kidman had too high cheekbones, too wide a forehead, and too white face, like a female ghost......

"It's fine. Orlando Bloom's laughter came from the receiver of the phone, "Didn't Liv remind me, I forgot, your new film "The Scorpion King" is about to premiere, right? ”

"Yes!" Matthew welcomed, "I'll call Sean Daniel in a moment, and he'll be pleased." ”

can bring a very topical male star to the premiere in the recent period, and the crew will definitely not refuse.

Orlando Bloom didn't say much, "Okay, I'll wait for your notice." ”

Hanging up, Matthew immediately dialed Sean Daniel's phone number, and just as he thought, Sean Daniel immediately asked people to go and send a formal VIP invitation to Orlando Bloom's agency.

Why did Orlando Bloom take the initiative to attend the premiere of "The Scorpion King"? Matthew ran a few meters, and he figured out that Stephen Sommers, who is the writer and producer of "The Scorpion King", will definitely attend the premiere, and Stephen Sommers has been confirmed to be the writer, director and producer of that project, and has more power than Sean Daniel in the crew of "The Scorpion King".

If you want to be the leading actor in this project, Stephen Sommers will definitely not be able to jump, and it is crucial.

Of course, he also knew that this might be his own overthinking, maybe Orlando Bloom was indeed a good person, and attending the premiere of "The Scorpion King" was purely to cheer him on.

In the rest of the time, in addition to continuing the active daily plan such as learning with a British accent and practicing fencing, Matthew is basically cooperating with Universal Pictures' promotion of "Scorpion King".

As the time for the release of "The Scorpion King" gets closer and closer, Universal Pictures has also launched an intensive publicity plan.

Posters and stills of various films, trailers with different contents, news announcements about actors, filming and behind-the-scenes news announcements, one after another appear on various media platforms, Universal Pictures is one of the six major film companies in Hollywood today, with a long history and deep heritage, rich experience in this area, and the rhythm of the release of film promotional materials is very well controlled, so as to arouse the audience's appetite as much as possible.

Matthew, as the leading actor of the film, has also appeared on the covers of some magazines, such as "Entertainment Weekly", and has also participated in many pretended interviews, and these traditional Hollywood soft announcements are also carefully planned by Universal Pictures.

In terms of promoting movies, Matthew has limited knowledge, and he is basically in tune with the rhythm of Universal Pictures.

In addition to soft publicity, Universal Pictures has also put a lot of effort into hard advertising, and subways, buses, airport advertisements and various outdoor posters can be seen in major cities across the United States.

With the increase in publicity, more and more people have seen the news about the upcoming release of this film.
