"I don't know what Universal thinks...... Arnold Vosloo said to Rachel Weisz, looking across the hall, "Brandon seems to have an opinion about Matthew." ”

Rachel Weisz shrugged, "It's not that there is an opinion, it's that there is already a contradiction." The situation is clear, the Scorpion King has received a good response among fans and the media, affecting Brandon. ”

Arnold Vosloo asked tentatively, "Do you want us to mediate?" Matthew is not bad. ”

"Not bad?" Rachel Weisz suddenly laughed, "Arnold, a person who can almost make the whole crew say that he is good, will he be a simple person?"

Arnold Vothroux immediately thought that when filming at Pinewood, most of the crew thought Matthew Horner was a good actor, and even director Stephen Sommers, who had preconceptions about him at the beginning, changed his mind later.

Rachel Weisz shook her head, "Brandon is very famous, but it's a pity that he has ...... mind"

She didn't continue, but said, "I'm not going to go, this series has little to do with me, they just make trouble, what do they have to do with me?"

Hearing this, Arnold Vothroux was speechless, thinking back to the time when Matthew left London last year, and they had a drink together to say goodbye......

But he is not a newcomer, he knows that it is because there was no conflict of interest at the time, and now, Matthew has stolen the limelight that originally belonged to Brandon Frazier, and may steal the leading actor of the next movie.

Rachel Weisz gathered her things and said, "I'll go first." ”

She didn't lack work, and her head didn't get into the water, so she didn't want to get involved in this kind of bad things that didn't get any good.

Although Matthew Horner is a really good person and very good at coaxing people, she also reminded him in the show.

He is very manly and charming, but unfortunately his fame is too small, and he has no power, he belongs to the kind of person who is helpless in the circle, and he will not help much for his future, otherwise it will be good to seduce him and snap for a while.

Matthew was the last to leave the Luxor Hotel, got into the car, rubbed his face with his hands, and after an event, his face was stiff with a smile.

From the very beginning to the end of the event, he followed what Helen Herman said, whether it was facing ordinary fans or being interviewed by media reporters, he showed his best side.

Now that "The Mummy Returns" has exploded at the box office over the weekend, there is a louder voice within Universal Pictures to push for the third installment of the "Mummy" series, and according to Helen Herman, that part of the population believes that the "Mummy" series has established a brand, and even without Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommos, it is entirely possible to find new writers and directors to produce.

In the past weekend, "The Mummy Returns" earned more than $680,000 at the weekly box office, not only becoming the top box office leader, but also creating the highest weekend box office result since 2oo1.

There is already a sequel to this series, and under normal circumstances, Hollywood studios will definitely continue to launch sequels, and Matthew's speculation is that if it weren't for Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers, it is estimated that the new project of the Scorpion King would not have been able to compete with the third part of "The Mummy".

Got out of the car and went into the hotel where he was staying, Matthew didn't go back to his room, but dialed Helen Herman's number, and then went to the floor where she was, where Helen Herman arrived in the afternoon.

Knocking on Helen Herman's door, he poured himself a glass of water after entering, and from the beginning of the event until now, there was no water to drink.

"Did it go well?" asked Helen Herman.

Matthew drank all the glasses of water before saying, "I'm okay here, but my face is stiff." He looked inside the living room of the suite and asked, "What about Elena?"

Helen Herman sat on the sand and said, "I let her go, and the less she knew about the rest the better." ”

Matthew walked over to the sand across from her, "Tell me about your situation." ”

"I met Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers this morning, and both were skeptical about the sequel to The Mummy. Helen Herman didn't talk nonsense either, and said directly, "And Stephen Sommers has no draft for the next sequel at all." ”

"That is," Matthew understood what Helen Herman meant, "even if Universal Pictures decided to shoot a third part, Stephen Sommers wouldn't know what to shoot?"

Helen Herman nodded, "That's pretty much it. She paused, then added, "Universal's biggest suspicion about the Scorpion King spin-off comes from you, especially the naysayers, who don't have any confidence in you. ”

Matthew also knows that if he had half the fame of Brandon Frazier, Universal Pictures would not have conducted market research, and I am afraid that it would have already started to review the project

Helen Herman continued, "At the moment, we are doing two things: one is to reduce the advantage of competitors, and the other is to increase the weight in our hands. ”

Matthew knew Helen Herman was more professional than he was in this area and said, "Do you have a plan?"

"First, we were targeting Brandon Frazier. "Helen Herman has clearly done enough work," his agent is currently lobbying Universal's top brassiers, and Brandon Fraser, who is the most active in the "Mummy" sequel and who is also the leading actor. If Brandon Fraser had a problem and became the object of disgust for many, Universal would have been cautious. ”

"The strength of the competitors has declined. Matthew nodded, "Our odds of winning will increase!"

He thought for a moment, "Brandon Fraser will leave it to me." ”

Helen Herman did not object, but admonished, "Don't start a conflict openly, don't leave a handle behind. She saw Matthew nodding and added, "Elena Boyard will cooperate with us and continue to report negative news about Brandon Fraser on the Internet." ”

Speaking of which, she reminded Matthew, "These aren't free. ”

"Hmm. Matthew knew the rules of the game, "You ask Yelena Boyar to quote a price, don't go too far, I'm poor." ”

In fact, he knew that Yelena Boyar had started to act before the official charge, and it was probably for the sake of the two sides who were very familiar.

"What about the second aspect?" asked Matthew.

He didn't ask, Helen Herman was also ready to say, "Build momentum for you for the Scorpion King!" The film was released for a weekend, and the Scorpion King received a very good response, and even second only to Rachel Weisz's Evelyn in the audience, and above Brandon Fraser's O'Connor, but this is not enough!"

She accentuated her tone, "We need the Scorpion King to have more influence! Get more good word of mouth from the audience! At the same time, let you open up a certain amount of popularity! To be precise, we want to give Universal Pictures confidence that the Scorpion King's spin-off movie has a large number of potential supporters and can be profitable in the future!"

Matthew listened and thought about it carefully.

"Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers made it clear to me that the first draft of the script for the Scorpion King spin-off movie is complete and they will do their best to enlist the support of Universal Pictures!" Helen Herman also knew that the opportunity was rare, "So, we need to get it done too!"

She looked at Matthew, "It's going to be a very big expense, maybe more than $200,000." ”

"So many......" The muscles on Matthew's face shook a few times unconsciously, "It's too much, isn't it?"

Helen Herman understands Matthew's approach in this regard, explaining, "I need to contact the media and buy PR articles to build momentum for you and the Scorpion King! You and the crew have just started the North American promotional announcement, and you will be going to many cities next, and you will have to go to a large number of fans holding up the Scorpion King's posters to pick you up in each city? Do you want a large number of fans to crowd around your hotel waiting for autographs? Do you want the local media to highlight you when reporting on "The Mummy Returns"? These need to be hired by reliable agencies! ”

Matthew was silent, as if $200,000 was indeed not much, and might not be enough.

"All of this has the potential to be a herd effect!" Helen Herman explained simply, "It makes people feel that the Scorpion King has a good response, and you are a popular actor among movie fans, which can attract more people and media attention to you and the Scorpion King!" ”

"Alright!" Matthew said, $200,000 is a lot of money, but not to the point of exhaustion, "I'll go back and transfer $100,000 to the company's account." ”

Helen Herman nodded, looked at Matthew, and said, "This is a rare opportunity for you and for me! Your most advantageous action and warrior genre, the film can also take advantage of the success of "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns", the risk of failure is multiplied, and producer Sean Daniel and director Stephen Sommers still appreciate you...... I couldn't have found a better opportunity than now!"

"Don't worry. Matthew said with the same seriousness, "I did my best." ”

He knows that as long as he takes this step, he can become the leading actor, and if the film succeeds in the future, he will at least be able to enter the ranks of small stars from an ordinary actor.

Hollywood star, this is his goal in the film and television industry!

Helen Herman then asked for a supper, and discussed some details with Matthew while eating, and the two also reached a consensus to reduce the strength of competitors, mainly by Matthew to see the timing to grasp, and in this aspect, the more professional Helen Herman was in charge, and Matthew fully cooperated with him.

In addition, part of the budget has to be given to Yelena Boyar, and the two sides know each other well, but Yelena Boyar cannot be a free laborer.

At the same time, the two have to keep in touch with Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers to keep up to date with the latest developments on their side.

Staying in Helen Herman's suite until midnight, Matthew left to return to his room, and a long promotional tour awaited him.

Again, waiting for Brandon Frazier.
