Chapter 958: Something Bad Happened

"If people watch this movie, they start paying more attention to the veterans and the sacrifices they have made. ”

In the media area open to the public of the military base, Margot Robbie, who went viral because of the video, said to many reporters who followed the interview, "This is already a victory for the movie." ”

"Miss Robbie, may I ask ......?"

The reporter's questions continued, but Margot Robbie stopped answering questions, and under the guidance of the American GIs, she walked out of the media area and got into a Mercedes-Benz business car parked on the side of the road, blocking all questions from the door.

"By car. Matthew instructed the driver first, and then said to Margot Robbie, "Very good response." ”

Margot Robbie smiled, "The lines of the script are well written. ”

The Mercedes-Benz commercial car slowly drove towards the gate, and since it was in the middle of a military base, the speed was not fast.

"It was the first time that so many reporters surrounded me. Margot Robbie glanced back.

Matthew said calmly, "Soon you will get used to it, and you will become popular like that." ”

Margot Robbie patted her forehead and said bluntly, "I didn't understand what was going on, and I turned red." She looked at Matthew, "I've played a lot of roles before, made a lot of TV series and movies, and the result is not as effective as a video, which is also ......."

Sighing, Margot Robbie couldn't help but spit out the next half of the words, "This is too shocking." ”

"That's the bastard's Hollywood. Matthew said unhurriedly, "Before you were ready, it suddenly turned red." ”

Margot Robbie nodded, "I was mentally prepared, but that was after the film was released. She still spoke very directly, "I originally thought, since I'm playing with you, how can I be familiar with the movie after it is released?"

Matthew looked out the window at the Humvee as it drove by, and said, "Isn't that great?"

"Cup girl? Margot Robbie seemed a little helpless, "As soon as the video came out, my agent received a lot of invitations for action movies. ”

Hearing this, Matthew became interested, withdrew his gaze, and asked, "Which ones?" ”

Margot Robbie said a few names that Matthew hadn't even heard.

"It's supposed to be small investment projects. Margot Robbie explained.

Matthew nodded slightly, when is Warner Bros. going to prepare for that movie with Harley Harley Quinn Do you want to remind them? Anyway, it's fun to get a bunch of female characters to fight in the same film, and it is estimated that someone should pay for it.

Margot Robbie then asked, "I heard you've been filming in Australia for the past two months?

"yes. "Matthew's itinerary is public, and you can see it with a little attention," said a small city in Queensland. ”

"Did you get around?" asked Margot Robbie.

Matthew recalled, "I went hunting with Sean Bean and Tyrese Gibson, and it was very rewarding. ”

Margot Robbie's eyes lit up when she heard the word hunting, "I haven't been back in a long time, and I miss the shotgun I left behind in Dolby." ”

Matthew had heard Margot Robbie talk about the Australian actress who had been riding horses since she was in her early teens, and the hare and wild deer that died under the shotgun could reach the triple digits, according to her own words.

This is a woman who even an adult kangaroo would dare to beat.

Originally, Matthew thought that bullying kangaroos was nothing, but this time he went to Australia to film, only to find that many kangaroos are tall and strong, and they don't seem to be inferior to Michael Tyson.

He had read from Dolby's local newspaper that there had been adult men who had been punched with fists by standing kangaroos and had been concussed.

"My hometown is in Dolby. Margot Robbie didn't need Matthew to ask, she vented her old bottom first, "But I haven't been back for several years, and when you go there again, I'll invite you to go hunting on the farm." ”

Matthew casually responded, "Okay." ”

He has finished filming all the scenes in "The Martian", when will he go to a place like Dolby again?

I knew that Margot Robbie's hometown was in Dolby, and I should have let her play a cameo role in "The Martian", so that there would be a place to hunt.

The Mercedes-Benz business car drove out of the gate of the base, and after walking not far away, Matthew saw through the car window that some people were carrying protest posters and slogans on the sparse periphery.

These people were calm, as if they knew that this was a military base, and only silently protested from a distance.

Matthew took a few more looks, and found that these people seemed to be a bit like people from the Middle East, to be exact, Arabs.

In addition, most of the slogans written in large characters have the same name - "Ignorance of ***".

Matthew knows the name, it's the title of a movie, and it's a film that has caused a lot of criticism.

This film was not released in theaters in North America, but was uploaded to the turtle by the producer, and it did not attract the attention of several people on the turtle with huge content.

Last week, someone translated the film into Arabic, and I don't know what happened, it caused an uproar, not only in the Middle East There were large-scale anti-American protests, but even Arab descendants in many parts of North America also came out in protest.

This extremist film has caused a series of reactions.

After Matthew knew about this film, he just understood it, looked at the trailer of the film again, and then threw it aside, after all, this matter had nothing to do with him.

Anything that had to do with religion could become extremely troublesome, and he knew that very well.

If nothing else, the film "American Sniper" even the old and solid hard stone of Clint Eastwood has diluted religion as much as possible.

Looking out the car window, these Arab descendants were clearly very restrained.

"What's going on?" asked Margot Robbie curiously, "so many people are protesting, are they against us?"

Matthew shook his head, "No. ”

He roughly told what he knew, and Margot Robbie was not interested in hearing it, which can be said to be the general view of white Westerners.

With the exception of a few Marys, few people really care about the situation of those in the Middle East.

Having said that, just a few years after the economic crisis began, the economy in North America has not fundamentally improved, and most of the public is busy earning money to support their families every day, and who has the leisure to pay attention to things outside their own country.

Matthew has lived at the bottom of the country and knows more or less what ordinary people think.

Of course, if it involves your own country, like on the other side of the Pacific, there will be many people who will stand up.

In this world, there has never been a shortage of people full of enthusiasm, and patriotism is also one of the most correct value orientations.

There is a saying that has spread widely in the United States - if America is to be finished, unless Texas Red Neck dies.

On the surface, Matthew is also a Texan, and the former one came out of the slums of Dallas.

It's just that he is fundamentally different from Texas Redneck.

Based on Chris Kyle's experience, Matthew summed up the characteristics of a tough Texas man: he followed his father to hunt since he was a child, grew up to fight with his younger brother, crawled in insults and spurs, poured his sister with wine and hormones, fucked her, gave birth to a baby, fucked again, reborn, someone provoked him? rushed to kill his whole family, fucked his ass and blossomed. Reflection on the war? It's just a pity that I didn't kill a few more! Look at the disabled veterans, and I have relatives? Hey, buddy, help me up and try it!

That's what traditional Texans are.

As for Matthew, he is good at filling girls with wine and hormones, and how far he can hide from the battlefield or something.

After arriving at the airport, Matthew and Margot Robbie leave on different flights, and then the two go their separate ways to make announcements.

The main market for this film is definitely North America, and the market determines the promotion, so the crew's pre-release promotion is completely centered on North America, such as Europe and Australia, and it will not be until the film is released in North America that creators like Matthew and Margot Robbie will go.

"American Sniper" will not be released in the world at the same time, but will be released in North America first, and after the North American box office explodes, it will be shown in major overseas markets.

The films that hit the North American box office will at least not be bad at the overseas box office, as long as the North American box office of "American Sniper" can be as big a hit as Matthew's past films, the overseas box office will not be a problem.

The box office of this film in the Middle East can be crossed out, and there are few Hollywood movies that can sell at the box office in the Middle East.

And then on the other side of the Pacific, Matthew and Warner Bros. are very clear-headed, knowing that such a film is impossible to pass the review, and they don't even have any intention of entering.

Matthew circled the East Coast and finally made it to Manhattan, New York, for the 911 commemoration.

It's 2012, and even 11 years after that tragedy, no one will forget that all Americans still touch sensitive nerves when they hear about terrorist attacks.

Terrorist attacks are definitely the most hated acts in this country.

Borrowing from the 911 commemoration, Matthew continued to promote "American Sniper" in a low-key but determined manner, and on the evening of September 11, at an official NBC event, he called for the protection of children and women and denounced acts of terrorism through camera footage.

No matter how inextricably linked Comrade Lamp is with the United States, as a public figure, he must maintain his position, and any sympathetic remarks will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

As a person who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, how could Matthew do stupid things?

After attending the event, it was already late, and he had no intention of leaving New York, so he simply stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and waited for the next day to take a flight back to Los Angeles.

The next day, just after dawn, Matthew had just returned from the hotel gym and had not finished washing his face when he received a call from Helen Herman.

"Something big has happened, go and watch the news on the hour, it has something to do with our movie!"
