"There were a lot of journalists gathered in front of the office building. β
Sitting in the co-pilot, Brown Williams glanced at the door of the building where the office was located and said to Matthew, "Shall we change the door?"
Matthew shook his head slightly, "Get off from the main entrance." β
It's the release date of "Gathering Souls", and according to the agreement reached with the crew, he must be high-profile enough to actively respond to interviews with media reporters in order to create more topics and news.
Hearing Matthew's words, Brown Williams immediately said to Mike, who was stuck in the collar of his suit, "Get out of the car at the front gate, you guys get ready." β
Another Mercedes-Benz SUV in the rear overtook Matthew's car and stopped at the door of the building first, and the three bodyguards quickly got out of the car to build a simple isolation wall.
Since the theft, Matthew's security forces have been strengthened, and the number of bodyguards has temporarily increased to four, including Brown Williams.
Then, the black Mercedes-Benz SUV stopped, and Matthew, under the personal escort of Brown Williams, walked towards the door of the office building.
Fortunately, most of these people are not paparazzi, but reporters from regular media, and they are somewhat orderly.
A female reporter with a Los Angeles Times tag on her chest was the first to ask loudly, "Matthew, 'Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Coffin' was a record-breaking box office hit on the first day, do you have anything to say?"
Now that he got out of the car through the main entrance, Matthew was ready to answer the questions and said, "The audience loves this movie, and it's the best reward for our hard work." β
As soon as the words fell, a reporter from "World News Weekly" asked, "According to multiple feedback, the popularity of Johnny Depp's character Captain Jack Sparrow obviously surpasses that of your role as Will Turner, what do you think?"
Matthew can naturally hear the implicit provocation of this question, although with his friendship with Depp, this kind of question can be said anything, but he will not deliberately leave a handle.
The title of this film is "Pirates of the Caribbean", and the pirate leader Captain Jack Sparrow is naturally the first protagonist. Matthew said lightly, "Depp is a great actor and has made a great character. β
A male reporter from TMZ squeezed over, handed the microphone to Matthew through the bodyguard, and asked, "According to reliable sources, yesterday you met with Robert Iger, CEO of Walt Disney, on Great Street in Nanbo, were you discussing cooperation on a new project?"
"It's not. Matthew casually explained, "It's just a regular meeting of friends. β
After saying that, he gave Brown Williams a look, and Brown Williams immediately separated from the other bodyguards and covered Matthew's walk towards the main entrance of the office building.
Although the reporter was still asking questions, Matthew did not answer again.
Yesterday he met with Robert Iger, who was indeed negotiating a new project, and I don't know what Jerry Bruckheimer was doing in private, so he actually asked Robert Iger to come in person and talk to him about the sequel to "National Treasure".
He respects Robert Egger very much, and the other party wants to meet in person, so he immediately interrupts his date with Alexandra Daddario and rushes back to Burbank to meet on Nanmbo Street, but meeting is one thing, and when it comes to salary gains, his attitude and position are still as clear as ever.
If the CEO of a large company comes forward to say a few words, he will take the initiative to reduce his salary to act, and Hollywood's big-name stars don't want to get tens of millions of dollars in salary.
In addition, Robert Iger also asked about his possibility of starring in a Disney fairy tale movie.
It is a fantasy romantic musical drama film with animation combined with real action, with an investment of nearly $100 million, and it has been confirmed that the heroine is Amy Adams, and the male lead is temporarily vacant.
He politely rejected Robert Iger by talking to his agent, and Robert Iger didn't say much, after all, he is the CEO of Walt Disney, just by the way, there will definitely be people below to deal with specific matters like this.
Even if someone from Disney Studios went to Helen Herman to negotiate later, Matthew would let Helen Herman refuse.
This type of film is not suitable for him, Di Baobao's young fairy tale movie, what he can accept is the level of "Pirates of the Caribbean", no matter how young he is, he can't guarantee that he will not go crazy during filming, like the setting of killing the villain with an awkward dance, which is not acceptable to anyone.
Of course, the main reason is that he sings very badly, saying that all five notes are praise, just like Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio never sing in films or other public places, he is very self-aware, others sing for money, he sings badly.
Besides, the real movie superstar, who will have nothing to do with music, not to mention others, the singer-turned-Will Smith and Johnny Depp, after they really became famous, only regarded music as a hobby.
In short, he won't pick up baby Di's song and dance films.
Entering the building, Matthew came to his office, where Bella Anderson was busy with three assistants, and now Bella Anderson also has several subordinates to assist her in handling various aspects of work such as fans and publicity.
Seeing Matthew, Bella Anderson first said hello and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Matthew, "Pirates of the Caribbean" set a new single-day box office record for North American movies yesterday on its first day at the box office. β
"Thank you. Matthew nodded.
Although the first protagonist of the film is Johnny Depp, he is also in a pretty good mood, no matter what, Will Turner is one of the two male leads, and the box office of the film's big hit can also become his capital in the future.
In fact, as early as this morning, he got the first-day box office statistics of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Souls", according to the current statistical method of the North American film market, counting the $18.5 million in advance, the film earned $69.8 million on the first day, setting a new single-day box office record in North America.
Matthew came to his desk, turned on his computer and logged in to Yahoo Entertainment to take a look, and a lot of the first-day data of "Gathering Soul Coffin" had been published by the media.
The IMDB has an average score of 8.2, with a Cinema Score of "A" and a composite score of 72,......
Just like the first-day box office figures, the audience's word-of-mouth is generally good.
But the critics have a poor reputation.
"Gathering Souls Coffin" actually shows that it is rotten on Rotten Tomatoes! Rotten Tomatoes includes the film reviews of 75 professional film critics, and the negative reviews account for the vast majority, and the freshness is only 58%!
Matthew immediately logged on to the Rotten Tomatoes website and saw a lot of professional movie reviews, most of which were indeed bad.
"This sequel is a big production that doesn't live up to its name, and it's gorgeously ostentatious. The plot is not very logical, lacks humanistic thinking, is too obscure and complex, and in a few places it is too loose or even unexplained, and the performances of the pirates are not as interesting as the first part. β
- USA Today
"Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is the story of Captain Jack's trio, but the classic performances of the three of them no longer exist, and instead these most eye-catching things have become endless computer stunts, and the whole of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is like a carnival or trade show with CG technology. No one doesn't like to watch the computer stunts in the movie, but there are too many stunts, so it's better to just play the computer game. β
- New York Post
"Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is a testament to the power of computer stunts to make a movie just as it can turn the bad into magic, and in terms of box office results, it seems to have done just that. It's a pity that the classics only appear once, and if you want to dig more out of the classics again and again, I'm afraid you can't do it. β
βChicago Sun-Times
On the contrary, there are other fan sites where praise has been received from the general audience, and the rave reviews seem to have been overwhelmed by the femininity of Captain Jack Sparrow and the might of Will Turner.
"Johnny Depp's brilliant performance, Matthew Horner's charisma, the director's imaginative camera language and grasp of rhythm make this film full of joy. β
"The special effects are outstanding, the soundtrack is grand, and the plot has more emotional and suspense elements than the previous one, which is a good commercial blockbuster. β
"The story is wonderful, the whole movie feels very cool to watch, and the special effects are very good. It's almost two hours old and the three-man wooden wheel duel is really exciting!"
Matthew just looked at it and closed the webpage, like the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, a typical summer commercial production, the first thing is, of course, to please the audience, and the audience will pay if they like it.
Summer movies, no matter how much they please film critics, they will not pay a penny for the box office of the film.
From the first time he became the leading actor to the present, Matthew's mind is very clear, his positioning is a commercial superstar, and he must not be fooled into the ditch of the independent film circle by film critics, and the most important thing is that the audience is willing to pay for him.
He came from the lowest level of society, struggled in it for many years, saw many scenes where a dime was difficult to overwhelm people, was a poor man at heart, and did not receive any higher education, and always believed that the importance of money was always far greater than artistic achievement.
The goal of artistic achievement of such elegance and refinement is better to let the elegant and refined person pursue it, and the vulgar person like him, who is full of low-level tastes, pursues the unbearable money and beauty.
As for whether someone will say that he has no pursuit? He doesn't care at all, and whoever wants to say it, let them say it.
"Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin", like most of the films Matthew has starred in over the years, will always be criticized by some people, but they can't stop the huge commercial success of this film.
