As soon as the sun set over the sky, a red Chevrolet sedan turned into Burbank Third Street and stopped in front of a small building, where a tall girl dressed as a girl next door got out of the passenger seat, shook her hand at the window, and said loudly, "Goodbye, Mom." ”

"Goodbye, Taylor. ”

A middle-aged blonde woman in the driver's seat started the car and left the place.

It wasn't until the car disappeared that Taylor Swift turned around and walked towards the building, and when he passed by the newsstand, he asked for a copy of the Los Angeles Times, and then went inside.

This is the Burbank branch of Big Machine Records, the company's headquarters is in Nashville, the music capital of the United States, Taylor Swift's first album is in a country style, from preparation to practice to recording, it was done in Nashville, after the recording, Big Machine Records specially sent Taylor Swift to Los Angeles.

The City of Angels is the entertainment hub of the nation, and it's easier to get media attention here.

Taylor Swift entered the office and went straight to a break room to rehearse some scenes from the music video today, but she arrived a little early.

Sitting on a comfortable sofa chair, Taylor Swift stretched out, opened the "Los Angeles Times", first quickly skimmed through the current political news, saw that he was not interested, immediately found the entertainment page, and then on the front page of the entertainment page, he saw the scene he saw with his own eyes last night.

"Pirates of the Caribbean set sail again......"

To the right of the headline, there is a large image of Matthew Horner standing in the middle, holding Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp in both hands, and the pirate Triangle smiling brightly, as if to tell the world how deep their friendship is.

Taylor Swift attended the premiere last night and knew that the trio were true friends and not the usual face-to-face and heart-to-heart feuds in the entertainment industry.

She looked at the three people in the photo and the text report next to her, remembered the scene last night, and suddenly woke up to the fact that Matthew Horner, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley appeared in a group, and the media reporters seemed to like it very much, judging from the praise reports in today's newspapers, it seems that the effect is much better than the three people listed alone.

"Scott Pocheta has said that the media, especially the entertainment media, reports for the benefit of the readers. Taylor Swift is a very smart girl and immediately thought of more, "Does the public like to see genuine friendships between celebrities and celebrities?"

She tilted her head, thought for a while, and muttered to herself, "If my first album has a good response, I will be able to become famous, and then I can find someone similar to me to be a friend, and I will often go around in front of media reporters when I have nothing to do, can I increase my exposure?"

At the age of fifteen, Taylor Swift met Scott Pocheta, who left DreamWorks to start a business, Scott Pocheta served as an executive officer of DreamWorks, and his understanding of Hollywood can be imagined, he is very optimistic about Taylor Swift's potential, and believes that Taylor Swift is an outstanding existence in his age group, and in the past year or so, in addition to hiring professionals to teach Taylor Swift in music, he has also instilled in her a lot of basic knowledge of the entertainment industry.

Taylor Swift is very smart, and this cleverness is not limited to music, but also independently analyzes what he sees and hears, and draws his own conclusions.

Subsequently, she thought further and more.

Taylor Swift's eyes are fixed on the newspaper, but her mind is not on the newspaper at all, she firmly believes that she will become popular, and if she becomes a popular singer, she will have some capital to form a friend at that time...... No, form a group of girlfriends with beautiful women for yourself, and then take them to party and press the road when you have nothing to do, and then a large group of star-level beauties will walk together, and entertainment reporters will definitely go crazy, and the public must also like to hear it.

Of course, she is the most famous of these people, and if someone becomes more famous, then kick them out.

Thinking of this, Taylor Swift retracted his thoughts and continued to read the newspaper in front of him, "Pirates of the Caribbean" was obviously hot news, and there were the latest reviews on the entertainment page.

"The story logic is much worse than the previous work, maybe the production for the purpose of the sequel box office is always inevitable patchwork timeliness on the play, but although there are a lot of bridges that can't justify themselves and overemphasize the comedic effect, the overall narrative is still smooth enough to skip some minor problems, and the visual spectacle created by a large number of CG interventions also makes up for the lack of the plot to a certain extent, and the end of the film directly resurrects Barbossa, obviously preparing for the third part. ”

This film review is from the Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan, Taylor Swift just watched the movie last night, and I feel quite pertinent, the storyline of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin" does seem to be a bit problematic, but the film has more highlights, enough to cover up these problems.

There was a knock on the door, and Taylor Swift looked up at the door of the break room and said, "Please come in." ”

The door opened from the outside and Scott Pocheta walked in, saw Taylor Swift holding the newspaper in her hand and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Los Angeles Times. Taylor Swift held up the newspaper and shook it, then said, "The news from Pirates of the Caribbean: Coffin of the Soul that we watched last night. ”

Scott Pocheta became interested, sat down in the sofa chair next to Taylor, and asked, "How much did the film box office for the early screening?"

"I don't know. Taylor Swift shook her head.

Scott Pocheta gestured to the newspaper in her hand, "There should be a mention of it." ”

Taylor Swift flipped through the entertainment version and looked for it, quickly stopped, and said, "Yes, it says it's $18.5 million." ”

"How much?" said Scott Pocheta, a little surprised.

"$18.5 million. Taylor Swift repeated.

Scott Pocheta was stunned for a moment, then said, "There are so many?"

Taylor Swift looked at him curiously.

Scott Pocheta, a former executive at DreamWorks and a man with a deep knowledge of the film industry, explained, "$18.5 million set a new midnight box office record in the North American film market, up from $16.9 million for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith." ”

Taylor Swift could understand what he meant, "Is it true that "Pirates of the Caribbean: Coffin of the Soul" will eventually surpass "Revenge of the Sith" at the North American box office?"

"There should be a high probability. Scott Pocheta patted the arm of his chair lightly, "Everyone knew that this Pirates of the Caribbean would explode, and now it looks like there will be a super explosion." ”

Taylor Swift knew that Scott Pocheta had previously worked in the film industry and couldn't help but ask, "How much do you think the box office will be in the first week?"

"Fifteen million dollars is a possibility. Scott Pocheta said.

"Uh......" Taylor Swift scratched his face and muttered, "So much." ”

Scott Pocheta sighed, "If DreamWorks could have pulled Jerry Bruckheimer to work together, ......"

He couldn't help but shake his head, Jerry Bruckheimer had been working with Walt Disney since the mid-nineties, and it was almost impossible for DreamWorks to dig into a corner, but the other person slipped out of DreamWorks' eyes......

I think that at the beginning, Matthew Horner really entered the field of vision of some directors and producers when he starred in "Band of Brothers" in DreamWorks and HBO, but unfortunately no one in DreamWorks realized his commercial value.

If several of the movies starring Matthew Horner were produced and distributed by DreamWorks, DreamWorks would certainly not be where it is now.

"Matthew and Johnny Depp are very popular. "Taylor Swift is still reading the newspaper," and the article is full of praise for them. ”

Scott Pocheta came back to his senses and said, "Jerry Bruckheimer's casting was particularly successful, Johnny Depp and Matthew Horner's shortcomings and strengths are very obvious, the two complement each other just right, and Captain Jack Sparrow will become a Hollywood classic." ”

Hearing this, Taylor Swift asked strangely, "Will Turner isn't it?"

Scott Pocheta shook his head and said, "Will Turner is also brilliant, but it's still a little worse than Captain Jack Sparrow, and the best person in this series is Johnny Depp." ”

He changed his tone and added, "However, Matthew Horner's work is more diverse, in addition to "Pirates of the Caribbean", he has also proven his appeal in other films, in fact, the film industry generally believes that his future is better than Johnny Depp." ”

Taylor Swift's eyes kept blinking, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long while, he said, "Will Matthew be a superstar like Tom Cruise?"

"No one can guarantee this. Scott Pocheta thought for a moment and said, "With his current momentum, there is a good chance if the next few films don't fail." ”

He looked at his watch and reminded, "It's almost time, it's time for you to go to the dressing room." ”

"Hmm. Taylor Swift put down the newspaper, stood up, and before leaving the lounge, said to Scott Pocheta, "Can you help me gather some information about Matthew Horner? I think he's an interesting person." ”

Scott Pocheta glanced at Taylor Swift and nodded slightly, "Yes, I'll send it to your mailbox tomorrow." ”

Taylor Swift's innocent face showed a bright smile and said, "Thank you, Scott. ”

"You're welcome. "Scott Porche knows this is a very smart girl.

The door to the lounge was closed, and Taylor Swift didn't immediately go to the dressing room, but stood in the hallway without moving, his head turning quickly, and if a star of Matthew Horner's level could be invited to cheer for his first album, the publicity would definitely be very good.

The question is how to get Matthew Horner?
