After leaving the crew of "The Scorpion King", Matthew has no job for the time being, Helen Herman is still selecting suitable projects and roles, and now he has a little fame, he has just served as the leading actor in a 40 million dollar production, and he has gradually developed some of his own style, it is impossible to be as hungry as before, and if he takes over the job, he must give priority to finding a role that matches his own characteristics.
This is not to say how much capital he has to choose scripts and roles, but normal business management, in order to accumulate experience and qualifications in the early stage, and earn basic expenses, of course, he can do whatever he wants, but now he can't continue this state of rushing up no matter what role.
For example, Helen Herman is not allowed to take on the role of a villain in the traditional sense of Hollywood, unless it is a character like Kevin Spacey in "The Seven Deadly Sins".
But she and Matthew both know very well that the crew will not choose Matthew for a role like this, and Matthew can't control such a complex villain role at all.
So, at this stage, it is necessary to have a selective job pick-up.
Hollywood has a lot of projects every year, but the competition is fierce, and even agents like Helen Herman who can borrow family networks can't find the right project every time.
On the first day after Matthew said goodbye to the crew, he slept a lot and didn't get up until nine o'clock in the morning.
With planned fitness and training, his excellent physical fitness became more and more obvious, and he was strong, responsive, and energetic.
But the long-term accumulation of heavy exercise training also brought some troubles to Matthew, and he felt that he was more impulsive than before, and this impulse came from the physical aspect, in short, the desire for men and women was stronger.
His girlfriend can't stay around, and he doesn't want to be a masturbator, sometimes it's really uncomfortable, but fortunately, his self-control is relatively strong.
Matthew occasionally discussed this issue with coach Niebola, in the so-called professional terms of Niebola, people who insist on a large amount of exercise for a long time have more oxygen in their blood, which is more demanding than ordinary people, and ordinary people who often engage in physical exercise also maintain strong sexual performance, this is because during exercise, the body can release an uplifting endorphin substance, which is precisely the body's naturally occurring endocannabinoids, which can make people feel happy, which is good for increasing ***.
Nebora also showed him a copy of the nationwide Health magazine, which surveyed men and showed that 95 percent of them had a significant improvement in sexual function after three months of exercise.
After ten minutes in the yard, Matthew returned to the house, turned on the computer, updated the blog first, and uploaded the stills handed over to him by the crew yesterday to the blog.
This is a still from yesterday's scene, and it is also a close-up of the single man standing on the high platform with his head held high after Mozius's victory over Mannon.
To describe Matthew's self-absorbed point of view, the protagonist in this still has a kind of momentum that is invincible and looks at the world.
"This is the male protagonist of Hollywood action blockbusters. ”
He muttered while captioning the stills, "My role in "The Scorpion King" has finally been filmed, I really want to see the film sooner!"
Matthew didn't write much, so it spread to the blog, and now his blog has a lot of followers, especially after the 911 incident, the number of followers has increased significantly.
In the report of the 911 incident, when the blog was in the limelight, and other media did not have a clue, the on-site pictures and related blog posts had already started group bombardment on the blog, and it was difficult not to attract people's attention.
Subsequently, the blog is no longer a niche tool of the Internet, and it has naturally entered the public's attention.
After posting the blog post, he logged on to MSN, and there were not many contacts on it, only Yelena Boyar was online.
It seems that seeing Matthew online, Elena Boyard sent a message.
"Big star, is your scene finished?"
Matthew thought for a moment and replied, "After filming, do you want to interview me?"
The Internet in North America is growing rapidly, with a huge number of Internet users in almost every corner of the country, and the front-page headlines on portals like Yahoo Entertainment are not comparable to the top "Entertainment Weekly" or "Hollywood Reporter" in the industry, but they are also a hundred times better than ordinary entertainment magazines.
The last time the column news attracted a lot of attention for him.
"Let's wait until your film is released. Elena Boyar is also a pragmatic person, "You are not a hot topic of attention now, and even if there is an interview, the editor-in-chief will not pass it." ”
"Oh, oh, I'm still nameless. ”
"That's right, if you're a big star, it's not hard to get on the front page. ”
Matthew chatted with Elena Boyar on MSN for about ten minutes, and after Elena Boyar was away from work, he also turned off MSN.
He looked through the news on the Internet again, and the war in Afghanistan was reported everywhere, and last month, George W. Bush and the federal government officially sent troops to Afghanistan, which was also a retaliation for the 911 incident.
This is too far away from him, after reading it for a while, he opened the blog again, and there are already a lot of comments under the blog post and stills just sent.
"The blogger is so cool, looking forward to your movie. ”
"This look is more stylish than the Scorpion King in "The Return of the Mummy"!"
"When is the movie coming out? ”
There are quite a few similar comments.
Matthew watched it, and then remembered that he forgot to post the release time of the movie, and posted another blog post, accompanied by the previous promotional poster.
"My new film "Scorpion King" was released in North America on April 10, 2002!"
The crew had already set the release date of "Scorpion King", and initially wanted to set it for the weekend at the end of April, in order to take advantage of the popularity of the summer season in May, but after the trailer of the opening blockbuster "Spider-Man" of next year's summer file was released, it caused an extremely strong reaction, and Universal Pictures immediately dismissed this idea and advanced the film to the weekend of mid-April.
According to past experience, the box office of a typical entertainment blockbuster like "Scorpion King" will basically be concentrated in the first three weeks or even the first two weeks after its release, so as to avoid the possible impact of "Spider-Man", after all, judging from the response of the trailer, "Spider-Man" is recognized by the industry as a film that may be a big hit next summer.
However, the schedule of "Scorpion King" mentioned mid-April is not without drawbacks, after all, April is the traditional off-season for movies in North America.
But where in this world are there so many best of both worlds.
Especially Matthew, who thinks that this schedule is okay, if he is allowed to choose, of course, he must avoid "Spider-Man", thanks to the fact that Marvel was rampant, he watched a lot of Marvel's comic popcorn at that time, and this "Spider-Man" trilogy has naturally been watched, knowing that this is an extremely successful series of movies, otherwise Sony Columbia Pictures would not have launched a Spider-Man movie in a crisis.
The Scorpion King's hard-bar little spider, just like an ordinary person facing Spider-Man, will definitely be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.
It's not that he's arrogant, but the objective situation is here.
After posting the blog post, Matthew turned off the computer, looked at the time, packed up the fitness training supplies, put them in his backpack, and prepared to go out to find a place to have lunch, and then go to the gym, ordinary fitness programs are indeed a bit boring, but his interest in boxing and free fighting is getting stronger and stronger.
What's more, both sports seem to suit him as well, and he's progressing very quickly.
Before Matthew could go out, his phone rang, and after connecting it, a familiar voice came from inside.
"Hi Matthew. The voice immediately caused Matthew to sound a shark's mouth on an animated image and say, "Long time no see, Michael." ”
Over there, Michael Fassbender, who said, "I'm in Los Angeles, and James is there, are you in Los Angeles?"
"Yes!" Matthew picked up his backpack and walked outside, "I was about to go to the fitness club, and I made an appointment with a combat instructor in the afternoon." ”
"Let's get together that night. ”
Hearing Michael Fassbinder's proposal, Matthew thought it would be okay for the evening and said, "Okay, call James along." ”
"Call him, of course!" Michael Fassbinder's voice came again, "There's a Black Mamba bar on Hollywood Boulevard, you know?"
Matthew's Red Penguin Service was on Hollywood Boulevard, and he was familiar with it.
"I know. He asked, "Are you going there?"
"We'll see you in the evening at the Black Mamba Bar and I'll call James later, he'll have time too. ”
Matthew came out of the house, locked the door first, and said, "Okay, see you or leave." ”
After hanging up the phone, he got into the car and drove to the Ximu district, first having lunch at the Chinese restaurant he used to frequent, then went to the nearby small park for a walk, and went out of his way to look around the somewhat dilapidated apartment building, which was where he used to fight and live......
At two o'clock in the afternoon, he arrived at the fitness club on time, first practiced ordinary fitness programs, used them as a warm-up, and then went up to the second floor, in the boxing training hall, following a combat coach to practice free fighting.
It didn't go until half past five in the afternoon when Matthew left the training ground, and instead of returning to Burbank due to appointments with Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy, he took a shower and changed in the locker room of the clubhouse and rushed to the Black Mamba Bar on Hollywood Boulevard.
Hollywood Boulevard is one of the most famous areas in Los Angeles for its nightclubs, and the Black Mamba Bar is one of the most famous of them, with the famous Johnny Depp as its major shareholder, and Hollywood stars in the bar from time to time.
Matthew arrived at the bar at the agreed time, and Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy had arrived.
