Chapter 580: Forever
When it comes to selling feelings, Hollywood is definitely the leader in the world's film industry, and Matthew knows a little bit about it, since he got the high salary of the "Transformers" crew, he naturally prepared carefully.
In front of hundreds of reporters at the scene, he recalled, "You should have heard that I grew up in the slums of Texas, and the best toy I got as a child was a Megatron model, which was my best friend and used to grow up with me." ”
Seeing that Matthew's words were far from finished, no reporters stood up to ask questions, in fact, many reporters had just arrived from "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: Soul Coffin".
Matthew touched his nose and seemed a little sad, "But when I grew up, I abandoned my only childhood partner, I ignored it, I forgot it, time brought me growth, but brought it the fate of being left out in the cold." ”
He looked at Michael Bay again and said with emotion, "So I want to thank Michael! It was Michael's invitation that reminded me that I once had such a childhood friend growing up with me, who did not dislike me, but I abandoned him." ”
I don't know why, the female reporter who asked the question thought of her favorite rag doll when she was a child, and where was it thrown by herself later?
Matthew pursed his lips vigorously, his voice trembling slightly, "Transformers and Megatron were my childhood buddies, and I never really said goodbye to it, so I abandoned it in a corner. ”
Many people think of their favorite toys when they were children, and what is the difference between what they have done and what Matthew said? When the toys first arrived, they were treated as treasures, and they quickly got bored and finally didn't know where to throw them......
"This Transformers is a farewell party for me to my childhood friends. Matthew's words are slow but unusually clear, "Toys play an irreplaceable role in our childhood, we inject our emotions into toys, give life and ability to each toy, they were also the shapers of our imagination, rich and decorated our childhood, probably no one ever thought of saying goodbye to their toys......"
Michael Bay suddenly realized that Matthew's words were very contagious, and I am afraid that they could arouse the feelings of many people, and he was simply using the childlike innocence that everyone would have as a weapon, directly hitting the most important things in many people's lives.
Who didn't have a favorite toy when they were young? How many people didn't just throw away the toys they once cherished when they grew up? Maybe they didn't think they were anything when they were young, but when they think about it when they grow up, don't they have a trace of regret?
He patted his leg gently, the millions of dollars spent on Matthew were really worth it!
If I knew that I wouldn't have made any boys and robots stories, how good it would be to simply pull Mathieu to be the leading actor, Shia LaBeouf is nothing but a good godfather.
"Michael, I want to say thank you again. Matthew seemed to be grateful, "When I shouted 'I'm Megatron' in the voiceover, I felt that you had given me the perfect goodbye so that I could say goodbye to my childhood buddies, and I would remember all the toys that brought me laughter and accompanied me through my childhood." ”
His eyes flushed slightly, "When I finished voicing Megatron, I thought I had caught something, but now I realize that something is gone forever. ”
Speaking of this, Matthew stopped, and the audience was silent, and he could vaguely see that many reporters were stunned, as if they were thinking or recalling something.
Suddenly, applause rang out from the press booth, and then more and more people applauded, and soon hundreds of reporters present applauded together, responding to Matthew's words with extremely warm applause.
They also had toys like Megatron and Matthew, and they grew up before they could say goodbye to their beloved toys.
Michael Bay couldn't help but applaud when he saw such an enthusiastic response to the event, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Shia LaBeouf's head, this guy is backed by Steven Spielberg's good resources, as long as he has half of Matthew...... No, with a tenth of Matthew's mind, the future is limitless.
Shia LaBeouf is dumber than a cow and stupider than a pig compared to Matthew.
If it weren't for Spielberg, how could he have chosen such a rubbish actor?
Megan Fox is also applauding hard, Matthew Horner is really the most outstanding man in this circle, a few words even mobilized her emotions, she has been in such a man, she can really take it out as a capital to show off.
She still remembers the envious and jealous looks in her two female friends when she talked about spending the night with Matthew.
I don't know why, her eyes also turned to Shia LaBeouf's side, many things really don't hurt without comparison, judging from the previous series of performances, fortunately, she tried her best to get rid of Shia LaBeouf's entanglement, otherwise she would not be ridiculed to death when she told people that she had been involved with Shia LaBeouf?
The female reporter who asked the question before, although she is not very old, is a senior practitioner, and she can vaguely judge that this should be a publicity and marketing strategy, but Matthew Horner is full of emotion, which makes people unconsciously follow his emotions, willing to accompany him to recall his childhood playmates, and solemnly say goodbye to those lost toys together.
This sentiment is particularly contagious.
Michael Bay's eyes had already taken his eyes off Shia LaBeouf, and he turned his head and whispered to a producer next to him, Shia LaBeouf is Spielberg's godson, he can't control and doesn't want to care, or this "Transformers" that is vital to him matters.
The crew thought about making a fuss about feelings before, and specially contacted Matthew to ask him to prepare in advance, but they didn't expect Matthew to be so well prepared, and the crew could do more articles on the basis of Matthew's words, and maximize Matthew Horner's appeal as much as possible.
The two quickly exchanged opinions, and Michael Bay also remembered the first toy camera he used in his childhood, which was the beginning of his entire career as a director, as if it had been discarded in the attic of his hometown, and when he returned to his hometown, he looked for it and gave it a solemn goodbye.
This media meeting ended on a nostalgic note.
Matthew signed some of the fans who participated in the press conference, and then moved to the back lounge, where Michael Bay immediately came over.
"It was wonderful. Michael Bay laughs and says, "I really regret it now, I should have gone to you when this project started." ”
Matthew smiled, "It's not something we can decide. ”
Michael Bay sighed, "It's really not for me to decide. ”
If he can make a decision, that Shia LaBeouft will kick out of the crew halfway through and will he stay until now?
"I have something to discuss with Tom DeSanto. Michael Belle said apologetically, "I'm going to go first." ”
"It's okay, I'll leave later. Matthew thought of the upcoming "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" and took the initiative to invite, "Michael, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is about to be released, do you have time to attend the premiere?"
Michael Bay immediately said, "As long as the time is right, I will definitely participate." ”
His assistant was looking this way, and Michael Bay said another word to Matthew, and then left.
Matthew asked Bella Anderson to pack her things and get ready to go, and later pick up Alexandra D'Addario at Warner Studios, Helen Herman just got a new job for Alexandra D'Addario from Warner Bros. to voice Louis Lane in the DC superhero cartoon Death of Superman.
In the words of the director of this animated film, Luis Lane is in the Met, and Alexandra Daddario is from New York, which fits perfectly.
In addition, he heard that Warner Bros. and DC were planning the origin anime of Wonder Woman.
I don't know why, Matthew suddenly felt a strange feeling in his back, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and subconsciously looked back, just in time to see Shia LaBeouf turn his head.
He couldn't help but shake his head, Shia LaBeouf was a drug addict at best, and if it weren't for Spielberg, a little earthworm.
"Let's go. ”
Matthew beckoned Bella Anderson out of the lounge and walked out a short distance when there was a slightly hurried sound of heels falling to the ground behind him, and Megan Fox chased after him.
"Hi Matthew. She beckoned.
"Hello, Megan. Matthew turned his head to look at Megan Fox and noticed that her appearance seemed to have changed a little.
Megan Fox never hid that she had plastic surgery, and said directly, "I had lip augmentation and nose augmentation some time ago, how is it? ”
Matthew casually complimented, "You've always been beautiful. ”
"Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is about to be released, right?" Seeing Matthew nodding, Megan Fox said again, "Can I go to the premiere?"
Matthew nodded slightly, "Of course, I'll go back and say hello to the crew and ask them to send you an invitation." ”
Megan Fox laughed happily, suddenly took a step closer, and said in Matthew's ear, "Why don't you go to my place tonight?" I have two girlfriends who have been arguing to meet you. ”
These words moved Matthew's heart, but when he thought of Alexandra Daddario, he still shook his head and said, "No need, I'll ask the crew to mail you an invitation letter when I go back." ”
In the following period of time, Matthew temporarily stopped thinking about the affairs of "Transformers", and made every effort to promote "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", because of the announcement, and missed the celebration party of Disney's acquisition of Pixar, just like the second part, Disney Pictures made efforts at the same time in online and offline, hard and soft promotion, and the reintegrated distribution company also showed strong capabilities, and the number of theaters released reached as many as 4300.
Just before the Memorial Day holiday begins, Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World has a huge premiere in Los Angeles.
