The September sun filtered in through the window and fell in front of Helen Herman, illuminating a simple poster hanging on a shelf, still without any words such as the title or the actor's name, compared to the last time she and Matthew met, only fine-tuning the actor's position.

"Belt......" she withdrew her gaze from the poster and turned to look at the press officer, "Matthew Horner is the absolute protagonist of this film, the title of the film is "The Scorpion King", and the first thing that stands out is the character of Mozius, I understand correctly, right?"

Berth, the press officer, knew that agents were very difficult to deal with, and this woman had been in contact with her before, and she was the most difficult of the difficult ones.

But he couldn't deny it on this basic question, saying, "You understand it right. ”

Helen Herman stood up, walked to the poster, had the momentum of the actor's agent, pointed to the poster and said, "Why doesn't the poster show this?"

Without waiting for press officer Belt's answer, she added, "Matthew's Mozius is indeed in the center of the poster, but it doesn't stand out! First of all, his avatar is almost as big as Kelly Hu, if I remember correctly, Stephen Sommers said that Kelly Hu's character is actually a supporting actress, how can a supporting actress have the same treatment as a male lead?"

Press officer Belt's heart was a little weak, but he didn't show it, the poster was designed like this, especially Kelly Hu is almost equal to the actor Matthew Horner on the poster, of course, it is not a coincidence, but he made people deliberately design.

Kelly Hu's agent not only knows him, but also has a little friendship, and he also knows that Kelly Hu can get the role of Cassandra because of Stephen Sommos's relationship.

Helen Herman's words didn't stop, and continued, "There are clauses in the crew's contract with Matthew, and our side has the right to suggest posters and stills!" She pointed to the poster again, "In addition to Kelly Hu's character, the other characters on the poster also have problems, they are all too big, especially Duff Villa, Clark Bernard and Steven Brand, which block most of Matthew Horner's body." ”

Bert was stunned, "Aren't they also actors under your company?"

"I'm just talking about things!" Helen Herman said with a businesslike attitude, "I don't care who the actor on the poster is, I came here today just to fight for Matthew Horner's rights as a leading actor." ”

Press Officer Beltt thought for a moment and said, "I'll have people make adjustments to the poster." ”

Just like this female agent said, this is indeed the treatment that a male protagonist should enjoy on the poster, originally he wanted to help his friend, but now he ...... Forget it, now that the other party has found out, there is no need to trouble yourself.

"Thank you. Helen Herman first said politely, and then said, "I think it is necessary to make a big adjustment to the poster, Kelly Hu's character is reduced by half, the other characters are reduced to the current one-third on the poster, and the half-length close-up of Matthew Horner's male lead is to be fully exposed." ”

"It can't be. Bert immediately refused, if this is the case, except for Matthew Horner, Kelly Hu can barely be seen on the poster, and the other characters might as well be removed directly, "Your request is too much." ”

Helen Herman came prepared, "It's better to be like this, this is the main poster in the early publicity, remove all the other characters, and only keep the male and female protagonists of Kelly Hu and Matthew." ”

Press Officer Bert thought about it very seriously, this suggestion seemed good, and he could also sell a favor to Kelly Hu's agent.

"I have a suggestion. Helen Herman glanced at Belt, instantly retracted all her edges, like his subordinates, and sincerely suggested, "The proportions of Matthew and Kelly Hu's images remain the same, and the design is changed to one on top and one on the bottom, with Matthew on top and Kelly Hu on the bottom." ”

There is also a distinction between priority and priority, and it is clear at a glance.

"I'll think about it. "Penta, of course, won't take it all down.

Helen Herman walked back from the poster and said, "I have one last piece of advice. ”

Pentart listened so much that he didn't mind hearing another one, "Just say it." ”

"Matthew Horner's name is listed on the poster!" Helen Herman said in a suggestive tone, "Don't list his name separately on the poster with other actors, it's better to be bold." ”

This makes it easier to attract people, just like the adjustment to the poster just now, which is conducive to Matthew's personal promotion.

On a poster, there are a lot of articles that can be made, and sometimes the importance of the actor or director to the whole film, as well as the status, are clear at a glance on the poster.

For example, in some of the films that Tom Cruise has participated in, especially projects with non-big-name directors, the first thing that stands out on the poster is a sign like "Tom Cruise's works".

Matthew is nowhere near that, but Helen Herman still wants to highlight his place on the set.

This is also something that must be fought for, and many things are often not available if they are not fighting.

"Miss Herman. Pentt spread his hands and said, "I can consider your suggestions at my discretion." ”

"Well, I'll not bother. ”

Helen Herman is well aware that some things need to be done in moderation, after all, Matthew's weight is not heavy enough.

Subsequently, she walked out of the press officer's office, and until now, Matthew Horner is still her number one client, and the company's resources must of course be tilted towards him, and the other young actors are spare tires for the time being, or second-tier customers, unless the film fails at the box office and Matthew Horner is finished......

In that case, you can only give up Matthew Horner.

Helen Herman certainly doesn't want to see this happen, after all, with so much investment in Matthew Horner, the next step will pay off, and if the film fails, it means that all the investment in the past year or so has been wasted.

It's not that she doesn't want to directly sign a star-level client, but the angel brokerage company is too small, her qualifications are too shallow, she is too young, and she is a woman, and the star clients who want to sign a contract don't look down on her, and those who are willing to sign a contract with the company are either in serious decline in their careers, or they are riddled with scandals, and the future income space is very small, so she can't look down on it at all.

As long as Matthew Horner can become a business superstar, all this investment will pay off handsomely.

In Nevada, on top of the Black Rock Desert, countless vehicles are parked on the dry lakebed, and not far from the sand dunes are parked on which a large number of boom trucks are parked for filming.

On the desert, Matthew faced the scorching sun, rode on a dromedary, slowly moving forward, holding a dummy with a figure similar to Kelly Hu in his arms, a dummy in a costume, a wig on his head, if he didn't look at the front, he didn't look like a dummy at all.

After walking about thirty meters, the filming stopped, and the trainer immediately came over to hold the dromedary, and Matthew first handed the dummy to the prop master, then got down from the camel, took the water cup handed by Mira-Wang, rinsed his mouth first, spit out the sand that was poured into his mouth by the wind, and took another sip.

Although the temperature here is not very high by mid-September, the desert area is unobstructed, the sky is cloudless, and the sun is quite strong, so you have to replenish the water every once in a while.

Fortunately, the logistics of the crew are very in place, and Matthew doesn't find it very difficult.

The conditions here are much better than when Black Hawk Down was filmed in the Moroccan desert.

And the crew is located very close to the Black Rock Desert Geyser, and you can also enjoy the scenery after filming, Matthew went out with several other people in the crew such as Kelly Hu, and the scenery is really good.

The Black Rock Desert is home to gorgeous geysers, dry rock beds and mountains that stand out in the desert.

In addition, there is the famous Burning Man Festival in the United States, Burning Man is an annual festival, known for its detachment from reality, but unfortunately they came at the wrong time, just past the day of Burning Man.

At the end of the filming here, Matthew and the rest of the crew walked back to the crew station, ready to re-make-up, and then went to the adjacent rock wall area to shoot another shot.

After touching up his makeup, he got out of the trailer, and Mira Wang came over with his cell phone and said, "Miss Herman's phone." ”

Matthew took the phone, chatted with Helen Herman, got a general idea of what was going on on her side, and quickly hung up again.

This kind of thing must be done by the agent, and if the actor goes by himself, he may have a stiff relationship with the crew.

Later, Matthew came to an open field surrounded by trailers, where director Chuck Russell was assembling the filming team when an assistant producer ran over and told him to change the shooting schedule for the time being.

A group of tourists came from the rock wall, and the crew coordinated with them, but these people did not agree to leave, and director Chuck Russell had no choice.

Matthew is also quite helpless, liberalism is rampant in the United States, and the crew is a commercial organization, so they have no right to ask tourists what to do, except for waiting for them to leave, there is no particularly good way.

In the past, if it was forcibly filmed, it would be more troublesome once someone broke into the camera, "The Scorpion King" is a film with an ancient Egyptian background, and suddenly a modern person pops up, and the lens will definitely be invalid.

Even if it is a modern drama, you can't use other people's portraits casually, even if you unconsciously shoot passers-by into the camera, you have to say hello in advance and sign something like a similar understanding agreement with the other party, otherwise when the film is released, there are really relevant shots, and if passers-by want to find trouble, the crew will be very troublesome.

There are a lot of laws and regulations here, and if you are not careful, you will be tricked.

Therefore, it is very necessary to have a personal lawyer, and the crew also has a special legal adviser.

Filming was temporarily put on hold, and just as Chuck Russell was flipping through the plans and preparing to make adjustments, an assistant director suddenly ran out of the trailer.

"Oh God, oh God......" he let out an exaggerated cry as he ran, as if he was crazy, "Something's wrong! Something is wrong!"
