After getting out of the taxi, Matthew dragged his luggage to the front of the house, looked back, there was no one behind, and when he came out of the Los Angeles International Airport, he vaguely noticed that there were paparazzi following him, and the taxi was on Interstate Five, and he also saw two motorcyclists following behind,.。

It is estimated that the value of the tracking target is limited, so he automatically gave up, after all, this is Los Angeles, where stars gather, and the actors who were stoned by the paparazzi may be more famous than him.

Open the door of the house, enter the courtyard, no one lived for more than ten days, it was full of leaves, the lawn was a little unformed, and there was a lot of dust inside the house, Matthew took out the phone, and wanted to ask the housekeeping company to send someone over, and then remembered the little cash left in his account, or endured it.

The media and institutions contacted by Helen Herman are unlikely to provide free services to achieve the current effect, on the one hand, Matthew's Scorpion King is indeed attracting attention and is one of the biggest highlights of the whole film, and on the other hand, it is a large amount of money invested.

In just a dozen days, plus the media reporters that Elena Boyard helped contact, a total of nearly $200,000 was spent.

Not long ago, he felt that he no longer had to worry about basic living expenses, but now he is back to the pre-liberation period.

"The landlord's family has no food left. ”

Matthew muttered, quickly cleaned up the room, sorted out his luggage, looked at the time, dialed Britney's number, there was no one answering, and just when he was about to give up, the phone was connected.

"Hi Matthew. Britney's voice came, "You're in Los Angeles?"

Sitting back on the couch, Matthew said, "yes, just entered the house." ”

Britney seems to be in a good mood, "Good news for you, my second album is finished. ”

Matthew stood up, in a good mood, "Honey, are you coming back from Nashville?"

"That's right!" Britney's laughter rang out, "but no reward!" but it's going to take a while, and it's still undecided. ”

"It's fine. Matthew added, "I'll see you in Nashville." ”

The two got tired of being on the phone for a while, and Matthew hung up, wondering if he should make a call to Helen Herman? Helen Herman was returning to Los Angeles on the same plane with him, and he probably had just arrived home.

Changed his clothes, went to the bathroom to take a shower, saw that it was not early, Matthew directly asked for takeout for dinner, and was ready to rest early after dinner, in the past ten days, he has been flying around in North America, changing cities in an average of two days, basically repeating the life from the airport to the hotel and then to the event site, and he is really tired.

After lying down, I can't sleep for a while.

Matthew couldn't help but think back to what had happened over the past decade or so, especially Brandon Frazier, the Hollywood star who was undoubtedly designed by his side.

Along the way, although Brandon Fraser was a little annoyed, he basically didn't trouble him too directly, but he and Helen Herman still stimulated him step by step, and finally let his accumulated anger overwhelm reason.

Brandon Fraser and his agent wanted to push for a third installment in the series as soon as possible, and there was a small group of people within Universal Pictures who supported him, thus creating obstacles for the Scorpion King spin-off that Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers wanted to promote......

Helen Herman has been in contact with these two men, and the male lead of the Scorpion King spin-off movie is definitely him.

To be exact, there is no personal conflict between him and Brandon Frazier, but in this highly competitive circle, especially in the face of such an either-or opportunity, if you want to get on the top, you have to step on the rivals.

It has been more than two years since he entered the industry, and Matthew also has an intuitive understanding of Hollywood, and almost all Hollywood stars have climbed up on the shoulders of competitors.

Could it be that he ran over and pulled Brandon Fraser and said you give up the chance to enter the $20 million club, if you give up, Universal Pictures will not hesitate to the Scorpion King project......

I don't know what the results of the market research conducted by Universal Pictures are, but based on the situation at the time of the New York promotion, it should be no worse.

Matthew slept very soundly this night, got up early the next morning and was full of energy, went out for a run, and then drove to North Hollywood to buy a bunch of daily necessities, by the way to find a place to have breakfast, and after returning to start tidying up the yard, the courtyard with a lawn looks tall and tall, and it is quite troublesome to take care of.

In the afternoon, Matthew called Helen Herman, who had just met Stephen Sommers and Sean Daniel, and the two had no change in their minds and continued to push for the Scorpion King spin-off movie, with Matthew still starring in the Scorpion King.

And Universal Pictures is quite dissatisfied with Brandon Fraser, believing that after a direct conflict with fans, the risk of using him as the leading actor of a big production in a short period of time will increase exponentially.

However, Universal Pictures has not yet made a final decision, and Matthew and they will have to wait patiently.

He still had this patience, and Matthew then went to the fitness club in Westwood District to continue his training.

"Oh, the big star is coming. ”

As soon as he entered the boxing gym, he heard Neborah's quipping voice, "Matthew, how does it feel to be famous?"

Matthew walked over to the warm-up area, ready to warm up first, and said, "I don't feel anything." He spread his hands and joked, "I walked from the parking lot to the clubhouse, and I met a lot of people, but none of them asked me for autographs." ”

A staff member was helping Matthew prepare boxing gloves, jokingly, "It is estimated that there are too many stars in Los Angeles, and everyone is used to it." ”

Everyone around laughed, and Westwood, near Beverly Hills, often saw Hollywood stars.

Another staff member then said, "Matthew, I saw it, your character is amazing!"

"Thank you. ”

Matthew gives people the feeling that there is no change from the past, after the warm-up, put on the gloves, and follow Niebola to do body coordination training first, unlike professional players, he is an actor after all, Niebola focuses on training his body coordination.

From the initial warm-up to the professional training later, Matthew is very serious, he is preparing for the next movie, Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers have long revealed to Helen Herman that the Scorpion King spin-off movie will have a brand new story, set in the ancient Egyptian period, is a fantasy action movie, which will have a large number of action scenes, especially the Scorpion King as the protagonist.

Now, the possibility of the Scorpion King derivative film project is infinitely increasing, and he also has to prepare for this film.

If you want to shoot great action scenes, you need more than just special effects.

Universal Studios, part of the office area of Universal Pictures, Philip Claiston, director of production at Universal Pictures, has just finished listening to assistant Andy's debriefing.

"The person who did it was Brandon Frazier, and the fans were quite restrained. Andy finally said, "Although the fans gave up their plans to go through the legal process under the persuasion of the crew, they were interviewed by the media, and Brandon Fraser ......"

Philip Clairstone shook his head, "Leave him alone, we won't be working with him for a while." ”

If nothing else, purely from the perspective of risk control, it is also prudent to cooperate with Brandon Fraser in a short period of time.

Andy said a few more words, and Philip Claiston nodded, "I see, you go out first." ”

Seeing that the boss was fine, Andy turned to leave, and when he left the office, he happened to see Jett Breton, the deputy director of the production department, walking over.

"Is Philip there?" said Jett Breton, holding a document in his hand.

Andy smiled politely and replied, "In the office." ”

Jett Breton nodded at Andy, turned around and entered the office, greeted Philip Cleston, sat down in the chair across from his desk, and placed the papers in front of Philip Claxton.

"This is a summary ......of the marketing department's survey statistics for more than ten days," Jett Breton said as succinctly as possible, "Among the more than 110,000 respondents in North America, all the characters in this film, Evelyn played by Rachel Weisz is the most popular role, followed by Matthew Horner as the Scorpion King." ”

He is also for work, and he does not shy away from saying, "I was wrong in my judgment at the beginning." Among these same respondents, when asked if they would watch the independent film of Scorpion King, 30% of them had the intention of watching it. ”

That's a good statistic, especially for the supporting characters in a film.

Once, he talked to his sixteen-year-old son about this movie at home, but he didn't expect his son to like the Scorpion King very much, and when asked why, the son's answer was very simple, the Scorpion King was handsome, cool and strong enough, especially like a man, like the man he dreamed of becoming!

As a professional, he knows very well that there is no shortage of handsome guys in Hollywood, but not every handsome guy can be accepted by the audience in the camera.

"Also. Jett Breton added, "In a survey we conducted with media and internet portals, the Scorpion King is also second only to Evelyn in popularity. ”

Philip Claiston flipped through the file and looked at it as it involved a brand new film project, and he looked at it very carefully.

Jett Breton's words are not finished, "Also, the media's evaluation of the Scorpion King is biased towards a positive one, which is also conducive to the promotion of future films." ”

"Hmm. Philip Clairstone looked away from the material, "Sean came to me this morning, and Stephen Sommers had finished the script. ”

Jett Breton didn't speak, he had already made his attitude clear.

Philip Claiston stood up and said, "Pushing this new project into the project review should ideally be completed before it goes down." ”
