"There's a conflict?" Helen Herman didn't quite understand what Matthew meant, "what's the conflict." ”

Matthew didn't want to touch Stephen Sommers and Universal's monster movie, saying, "Time, shooting, preparation period, such a big production will definitely take a long time and a lot of energy, and it may not be able to take care of it." ”

Helen Herman nodded, "It's a bit of a conflict, so I've been thinking about it lately......"

Matthew wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Helen Herman raising his hand, "I have limited resources in my hands, Stephen Sommers' project we will talk about later, it's still early, we will do our best to deal with "Pirates of the Caribbean", which will be filmed earlier." ”

Hearing her say this, Matthew didn't mention it anymore, and instead of taking on this unnecessary heart now, it was better to think about how to squeeze into Jerry Bruckheimer's project.

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "When Black Hawk Down was promoted, I met Jerry Bruckheimer a few times, and judging from his attitude towards me, he remembered me and seemed to have a good impression. ”

Helen Herman raised her arms and said, "The number of people who get the news is very limited now, what about you, the focus is still on the promotion of "The Scorpion King", if this film is successful, we will really have capital to fight." ”

This is a very real problem, she has done a lot of preliminary work, but if "The Scorpion King" fails at the box office, neither Disney nor Jerry Bruckheimer will consider Matthew.

But these preliminary work cannot be left undone, only the earlier and more fully prepared, when the crew recruits actors in the future, can there be more capital.

Helen Herman added, "The promotion of "The Scorpion King" will start soon, you fully cooperate with the crew, Matthew ......" She paused abruptly and said after a while, "I will use my Disney relationship to fight for you as much as possible, and I will also find a way to influence Jerry Bruckheimer." “

Matthew nodded, not saying anything more, because he knew that Helen Herman was not helping him, but normal business operations.

The two chatted for a while about work, and together they went out of the café, Helen Herman returned to Angel Agency, and Matthew went to a gun club near Malibu, where he made an appointment with Nebora to shoot and was considering applying for a gun license and buying a few legal guns to have a good time.

Once in the car, he called James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, respectively, and the two said that they would definitely come to the premiere of "The Scorpion King" as long as time permitted.

The time of February passed quickly, as predicted by professional institutions, after "Black Hawk Down" exceeded $80 million at the North American box office, the rate of rise became unusually slow, and the subsequent Oscars only won the best editing of a small golden man, and the Oscar effect should be limited.

Ridley Scott failed to hit the best director again, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences seemed to look down on directors who had a background in shooting commercials.

After the Oscars, the North American film industry gradually quieted down and entered a relatively dull period, interspersed between the Oscars and the summer in March and April, which is the traditional off-season for the North American film market.

Just a week after the Oscars, Universal Pictures released the trailer of "The Scorpion King" on several TV stations and official websites at the same time.

Matthew also got a copy, and with the permission of the crew, uploaded it to his personal blog.

After posting the blog, he received a message from Elena Boyard on MSN.

"I just watched the trailer, it looks pretty good, you played wonderfully, it turns out that you are in such a good shape. ”

After thinking for a while, Matthew replied, "How much do you think the trailer can score? ”

The trailer is mainly based on action scenes, basically revolving around him as the protagonist, and then accompanied by some sexy and glamorous shots of Hu Kaili, which fully shows the selling point.

"It's hard to say. Elena Boyard is also a veteran entertainment journalist, "This type of film is not my thing, it's too brainless." ”

Matthew was speechless for a moment, and he couldn't help but admit that Yelena Boyard had a point, and this "Scorpion King" was essentially an action entertainment movie that didn't require the audience to use their brains.

Elena Boyard then sent another sentence, "I just asked two colleagues who like this type of movie, and they both said that the trailer is very emotional, and as long as time permits, you may buy tickets to watch it." ”

"Oh......" Matthew paused and typed out another line, "thank you for their support for me." ”

Elena Boyar replied, "If the film isn't good enough, they'll be the hardest people to scold you." ”

The two got into some mess again, with Elena Boyar not moving, Matthew quitting MSN and watching movie-related entertainment news online.

During this time, the released movies were lackluster, but the popularity of "The Lord of the Rings" continued unabated, and New Zealand director Peter Jackson's film was unanimously praised by book fans to fans to critics, and the North American box office easily exceeded 300 million US dollars, which can be described as a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth.

The film also made a large number of actors really become stars, such as Orlando Bloom, Legolas is almost the most popular character of the Fellowship of the Ring, especially in the eyes of young men and women, who are definitely dream lovers.

Matthew Googled a random search and came up with a whole bunch of news about Orlando Bloom, who, despite the other party's unbeknownst knowledge, listed Orlando Bloom as a potential competitor.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated, Matthew thinks that this is still very reasonable, he will be fine, and he also roughly searched Orlando Bloom's information and looked at it, this guy is definitely a lucky one, from the musical theater school just after all, he received the opportunity to audition for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and happened to meet Peter Jackson, who wanted to use a non-star actor because of a lack of budget, and then became popular.

This luck is definitely against the sky, much better than him, who thinks he is lucky.

Matthew looked at Legolas on the computer screen and continued his previous consideration, he seemed to have two opportunities for a big production......

Thinking of this, he stood up from the front of the computer, and a thought gradually appeared.

Then, Matthew simply went out to the courtyard, and a cool breeze blew, and his head, which was a little dizzy because of facing the computer for a long time, instantly woke up, and the thoughts just now became clearer and clearer.

He simply sat down at a wooden table in the courtyard and thought carefully.

Although no one else knows, and even Jerry Bruckheimer doesn't have a specific idea, he knows very well that Orlando Bloom is the biggest opponent if he wants to squeeze into Pirates of the Caribbean.

What if Orlando Bloom doesn't have the right schedule or isn't interested in the role?

"Wow......"

Suddenly there was a crow cry from the trees not far away, a cloud floated in the sky, obscuring the moon, and the courtyard was not lit in the first place, and suddenly it became extremely dark, and the place where the wooden tables and chairs were placed was the place where the murder took place, and Matthew sat here alone, standing still.

Suddenly, he stood up and slapped the wooden table, "Okay, just do it!

Matthew stood up and walked towards the house, the darkness around him had no effect on him.

Back in the house, he found his cell phone and dialed the Orlando Bloom number, which was quickly picked up by Orlando-Bloom.

"Hi Orlando, it's me, Matthew. ”

"Hello, Matthew. Orlando Bloom asked, "Is there anything wrong with calling so late?"

Matthew asked, "Are you in Los Angeles?" and after receiving an affirmative answer, he added, "It's okay, I haven't had an event since I moved, and I'm going to have a party at home this Saturday, do you have time, Orlando?"

He added, "There aren't many people, just Ben Foster and James McAvoy, all of whom have been in the crew of "Black Hawk Down". ”

"Okay. Orlando Bloom happily agreed, "I'll be on time!"

Matthew added, "I'll send you the address on your phone in a moment." ”

Over there, Orlando Bloom asked, "Can I bring a friend?"

"Absolutely. Matthew didn't think about it and said, "I welcome with my hands up." ”

Subsequently, the two said goodnight and hung up the phone, and Matthew dialed James McAvoy again, and they also went to the Black Mamba bar together to drink a few days ago, and James McAvoy said that he would stay in Hollywood and not return to the UK for a short time.

Sure enough, James McAvoy was still in Los Angeles, and of course he would not refuse Matthew's invitation, and took the initiative to call Michael Fassbender, who was also in Los Angeles.

Matthew called Ben Foster again, thought about it, and dialed Josh Hartnett's private number, who answered his call instead, but politely declined the party invitation on the grounds that he had work to do on the weekend.

This is also normal, after all, Josh Hartnett is not a level of character with them, and he has starred in two major productions with an investment of 100 million US dollars in a row, which can be said to be a very strong momentum for young actors in the past two years.

Apart from these people, Matthew has no one else to invite, after all, this is a party launched under the banner of a gathering of friends, and you can't call an agent like Helen Herrmann and an entertainment reporter like Yelena Boyal.

The party was impromptu, he didn't prepare for anything, and he had no experience with Western-style parties.

However, this little problem bothered Matthew, who rummaged through his phone and found a phone number to contact Liszt, a part of the business of the Red Penguin Service Company, which was to undertake all kinds of parties.
