On Monday morning, Matthew sat in front of the computer early, opened his mailbox and refreshed it, did not receive a new email, and made another phone call to Helen Herman, who has not yet obtained the relevant data, but only told him to sign a new contract at the angel agency at about 10 o'clock in the morning.

Matthew and Helen Herman have talked carefully, both parties have the willingness to continue to cooperate, there is not much difference in other conditions, and it is impossible for him to find a more suitable agent than Helen Herman in a short period of time, staying in the angel agency is the best choice at present, and Helen Herman took the initiative to reduce the agency fee, and the eight percent agent commission is also a conscience price for an actor of his level.

This is the longest three-year contract signed by the two parties in the industry.

Ending the call, Matthew opened the webpage and looked at it, and the JO website has not updated the latest box office data of "The Scorpion King" for the time being.

Box . Office. Founded in 1998, Mojo is a website owned by Amazon Inc. that systematically calculates the box office of movies, and is currently the most famous movie box office statistics website in North America.

However, the timeliness of the Internet in this era is not as good as in the future, and the box office update speed of the website is far from being very timely.

Matthew saw that the website data was not updated, so he refreshed his mailbox again, but there was still no email.

He simply opened the IMDB website, ready to go and see the fan ratings again, after clicking on the "Scorpion King" column, he looked at the rating that was still maintained at 6.0 for the time being, and suddenly found that in the cast list of the film, the column of his name had also become a link that could be clicked, and he quickly moved the mouse to open it.

The pop-up window is his IMDB column, on the far left of the column is a half-length photo of him in a formal suit, and on the right side of the photo is a simple text introduction, marking his hometown and date of birth, etc., and further down are stills and links to the films he has starred in, in chronological order, "Gladiator", "Band of Brothers", "The Mummy Returns", "Black Hawk Down" and "The Scorpion King", and "The Soul Shifter", which was originally a completely passerby role, did not appear in it.

Matthew also didn't know the IMDB inclusion rules, guessing that the characters in "Soul Shifting Girl" were too passerby.

However, in the "Did You Know" column at the bottom of the column page, "Soul Shifting Girl" is mentioned.

After reading it roughly, Matthew understands that this IMDB column is also the effect brought by "Scorpion King".

Subsequently, he landed on his personal blog and posted a special blog post recommending a web column with his IMDB number.

Now his blog has seen a sharp increase in visitors, as Matthew has noted, with an average of more than 3,000 daily visits and a five-figure total follower in the last two days.

The most obvious is that the number of people who have left messages of support for him has increased significantly.

Suddenly there was a prompt in the mailbox, Matthew hurriedly closed the blog, went to the mailbox page, and had just received a new email from Helen Herman.

He hurriedly opened the email, and when he waited for the web page to refresh, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and kept dragging the mouse with his right hand.

Although the box office was good in the first two days of the film's release, and the box office was bound to explode in the first week, he also wanted to see a higher number, after all, this is the first film to play the leading actor.

The web page finally swiped out, and when he saw the numbers on the email, Matthew immediately laughed.

It's not the kind of laugh he has carefully practiced, but a laugh that comes from the joy of the heart.

In the North American film market, because of the relationship between Monday and weekdays, the box office on Sunday will almost inevitably decline compared with Saturday, and "The Scorpion King" fell by nearly 35 percent, winning $11.07 million, thus earning $40.37 million in the first three days of the first weekend, not only easily won the North American box office chart, but also broke the best record for the premiere of a film in April at the North American box office.

The opening weekend box office reached production costs, and Matthew knew what it meant, both now and in the future, basically meant a big success.

His heart was completely put back into his stomach, even if "Scorpion King" did not move well this week, it would not affect the overall situation.

Matthew stood up, let out a long breath, feeling completely relaxed, and then laughed, and the excitement spread through his heart.

This peculiar feeling cannot be described in words, maybe success is this feeling, he became famous!

He took a step forward and fell directly on the sofa, not wanting to move at all, just wanting to experience this hard-won success, and from today onwards, he will be a veritable Hollywood star!

Although the coffee position is not very large, he is also an absolute star actor!

Lying on the couch, Matthew was extremely comfortable, even more hearty than a hand-to-hand fight with Britney.

Men need a successful career, and the success of a career can also inspire a man's greatest passion.

At this moment, Matthew left everything behind and simply enjoyed the excitement and joy of success.

Although no one shared it with him, he was able to revel on his own.

He also has the right to enjoy the current success, more than three years, luck and opportunities are indeed good enough, but he also works hard enough, if his own ability is not enough, it is impossible to have the current success.

"Ahh

Matthew yelled excitedly and swung his fist hard.

This is in his own home, he doesn't have to hide his emotions, since he is excited, he can shout if he wants to, and shout when he wants to!

Helen Herman, Angel Agency, Universal Pictures, Media Reporter, and Crew Director, all of which will be put aside, all of which will have to wait for him to enjoy it.

The process of success is long and tortuous, but the moments of enjoyment are short.

After a few minutes, Matthew calmed down and fell from the undulating clouds back to the flat ground, and there was still a long way to go for him.

After packing up his mood and changing his clothes, Matthew is ready to go out.

He entered the courtyard, came to the gate, just opened the door and walked out, the flashing lights illuminated his side of the snow, a few cameras alone can never have this effect, although because of the strong light can not see clearly, Matthew can also guess that there are at least a dozen reporters around.

"Matthew Horner, have you read the latest box office stats?

Before Matthew could see clearly, a bunch of microphones were directly blocked in front of him, and more than a dozen reporters surrounded him, asking questions almost frantically.

"Now that you've become famous, what do you want to do most?"

"It is said that Universal Pictures is preparing to shoot a sequel to "The Scorpion King", will you continue to be the leading actor?"

Unlike the previous interviews with reporters, these reporters were more enthusiastic, and the enthusiasm brought almost chaotic order, and Matthew was completely surrounded by these people in front of the house.

Some reporters asked questions, some reporters were taking pictures, and some reporters even squatted down to take pictures.

It's a pity that Matthew is not a woman, and he is wearing slim trousers, and the reporter can't take pictures of him walking away at all.

It was not only the reporters who gathered here, but also the paparazzi, who were out of order and asked all kinds of questions.

"The lights in your house were on all night last night, were you partying with women?"

"Someone saw three women enter your house, do you have ......"

There were some questions that were simply unanswerable, and Matthew immediately judged that the reporter would not give in easily, so he took a step back, opened the door with his backhand, and retreated.

Although the door was not closed, the reporter and the paparazzi were not stupid and quickly stopped outside the door.

Matthew saw someone inside taking pictures and slammed the door shut.

It's not that no reporters and paparazzi have followed him before, and the situation of staying outside has also appeared on the day of the premiere, but it is the first time to treat him so warmly.

"The Scorpion King" was a box office hit in the first week, and he, the leading actor, was the most acclaimed in the film and obviously became famous......

has become famous, the film is still being released, its own conditions are good, and it is fighting with critics, which is obviously enough hot news figures.

Matthew analyzed the current situation almost instantly.

He thought about it for a moment and called Helen Herman, and in this situation, it seemed impossible to get out of the crowd without the help of bodyguards or security guards.

Half an hour later, Helen Herman knocked on his door, and Matthew opened the door, letting Helen Herman into the house in a flash of lights, and then quickly closed the door.

"Did you bring the contract?" asked Matthew.

Helen Herman nodded and handed over the document bag in her hand, "You take a look at it first, and after signing it, when these reporters disperse, we will go to the actors' union to file it." ”

Matthew took the file bag and wanted to open it, Helen Herman reminded, "Let's go inside, this yard makes me very uncomfortable. ”

"Okay. Matthew led the way, walked through the courtyard, and walked to the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that there seemed to be a figure on the glass of the door, and he quickly looked back.

On a big tree on the side of the road, a reporter with a camera had just climbed up and leaned on the branch, just in time to take pictures of the courtyard.

"These guys ......" Matthew couldn't help but have a toothache, "are they all crazy!"

Obviously, the arrival of a tall and beautiful woman like Helen Herman has stimulated these reporters and paparazzi to be more enthusiastic and unrestrained.

Helen Herman also glanced over there and said, "Normal, you're just becoming famous now, it's the time when the heat is at its highest, and it'll be fine in a few days." ”

Matthew entered the room first, put Helen Herman on the couch, and opened the file bag as he said, "I'm afraid they're more interested in a beautiful woman like you entering my house." ”

"It doesn't matter. Helen Herman said calmly, "I'm your agent, and media reporters aren't stupid." ”

"Hmmm......"

Answering casually, Matthew took out the contract and looked at it, Wilson's lawyer called him, and the contract was reviewed.

After looking through it, there was no problem, Matthew picked up the signature pen and signed the contract in duplicate, but he was a member of the actors' union, and according to the rules of the union, the contract had to be filed with the actors' union.

He handed the contract to Helen Herman, who took a look at it, put it in a file bag, and said, "Matthew, from now on, you're already a star-level actor, and there are some things I need to say." ”
