"Mr. Frazier, in this film, you are noticeably fatter than in the first one. ”

In the press room, a reporter sharply asked Brandon Fraser, "Didn't you prepare for the film?"

Brandon Fraser frowned slightly, but this level of problem was not difficult for him, and said with a relaxed expression, "Eight years have passed since this one, O'Connor has entered middle age from the prime of life, isn't it normal for middle-aged men to get a little fat?"

After answering, Brandon Fraser waited for the reporter to continue the question.

Unexpectedly, the next reporter who stood up did not ask him about the male protagonist or the female protagonist Rachel Weisz, but chose to ask Matthew Horner, who was sitting at the very edge of the horizontal row.

"Hello, Mr. Horner, I'm a reporter from Entertainment Weekly. ”

"Entertainment Weekly" is the ace entertainment magazine in North America, published by Time Warner, focusing on the field of film and television entertainment, "You are in such a good figure in the film, and an action scene is also impressive, have you made a lot of preparations for this?"

A staff member had already put the microphone in front of Matthew, who sat up straight and replied loudly, "I received a lot of professional training for this role, starting with preparing for the audition, working out, and later doing two months of boxing and hand-to-hand combat training. ”

He looked at the reporter below, "But it's all worth it, and I'm proud to be in such a role." ”

It seems that the role of the Scorpion King really attracted the attention of media reporters, and another reporter stood up and asked, "We all saw it, that action scene was very exciting, did you use a stand-in?"

Matthew said honestly, "No, I did it all myself, I just said, I did a lot of professional training. ”

A few more reporters asked questions later, and he received no less attention than the hero and heroine.

The reporters are all guys with a particularly keen sense of smell, and they immediately noticed this, and they were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and a female reporter stood up and asked, "Matthew Horner, you have put in such a huge effort to play a small supporting role." Do you think it's fair that Brandon Fraser has a fat figure and can play the leading role?"

As soon as this problem appeared, the audience was silent, Matthew did not speak immediately, and the number of contacts with media reporters gradually increased, and he also had some experience, knowing that he had encountered a very tricky problem.

If it's unfair, Brandon Fraser will probably have a lot of opinions, and if it's fair, it's also admitting that Brandon Fraser is not as good as himself.

Brandon Fraser seems to be a big grin, bold and cheerful, he thought so before, but through the observation of walking the red carpet, this should be just the appearance.

It's too normal for a Hollywood star to have two faces, let alone a famous star like Brandon Frazier, and even a little actor like him, isn't it?

Matthew is well aware that his relationship with Brandon Fraser could take a turn for the worse if he doesn't answer well.

If you don't answer, you can't do it, these media reporters may use things like acquiescence to point out that there are contradictions within the crew.

Rachel Weisz turned her head to look at Matthew, whose character looked even more appealing in the film than it did on set, and it was not surprising that so many reporters focused their questions on him.

She was just curious about how Matthew would answer, and had no other ideas, Matthew was an actor, and he couldn't steal the limelight from the heroine, and no one would compare the heroine with him.

It's just that Brandon Fraser is a little embarrassed......

The corner of Rachel Weisz's eyes skimmed over Brandon Frazier's face, the two have collaborated on two films, and they are familiar, she can see that the reporter compares him to Matthew, and Brandon Frazier is a little unhappy.

The press officer is also looking at Matthew, this kind of difficult question, if the actor is not good at answering, he will definitely find a way to solve it.

Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers also glanced at Matthew, and the actor gave them a very good impression, hardworking, motivated, humble, intelligent, and with high emotional intelligence, the work was done quite well during filming, and the crew didn't have to worry about it at all.

This question should not be difficult for him.

Brandon Frazier's face has not changed much, but his eyes frequently look at Matthew, only to think that these reporters are crazy, why should a small supporting role compare with him as a leading actor?

Faced with this tricky question, Matthew only paused for a few seconds before speaking, "Brandon is a very amazing actor, and it's a blessing for a rookie actor like me to work with him. ”

His first sentence made clear the gap between himself and Brandon Frazier, and then said, "In the crew, Brandon takes care of me like a big brother." ”

Brandon Fraser likes that feeling of being the boss, so he openly admits that he's the boss.

Matthew didn't want to be at odds with people because of the media, and continued, "He's a model for me to learn from and something I'm trying to work towards. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the crew breathed a sigh of relief.

Rachel Weisz, who was closest to Matthew, quietly gave Matthew a thumbs up under the table, and Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers looked at each other and felt that the person to choose for the role of the Scorpion King could not be more suitable, and Stephen Sommers even began to think about another plan of his own.

Brandon Fraser nodded slightly, and the pride that liked to be the boss was satisfied.

The only disappointment was the reporter who asked the question, he didn't expect this little actor to be so smart and witty, and he was not provoked at all.

At the end of the press conference, Matthew followed the crew and walked into the lounge behind the press room.

"That's a good point. Sean Daniel made no secret of his appreciation, "Matthew, you have maturity beyond your years. ”

Matthew noticed that Brandon Fraser was looking at this side and said with a smile, "I'll be honest, Brandon really helped me a lot." ”

Sean Daniel also saw that Brandon Fraser was paying attention to this side, and instantly felt that Matthew's emotional intelligence was really high.

Many young actors in Hollywood, who make a little achievement, feel that they are very remarkable, and no one pays attention to them, let alone their colleagues in the same crew......

Compared to these guys, this Matthew Horner is really likable.

Director Stephen Sommers also nodded to Matthew.

The press officer was even more blunt, "I was worried just now, but as soon as you finished answering, I was relieved, and let me formulate an answer in advance, which is similar to what you said." ”

Matthew just laughed, kind and modest.

Seeing that many people were talking around Matthew, Brandon Fraser felt a little uncomfortable, after all, he was the male protagonist of the crew.

"The media likes to chase new people, chase fresh faces. Rachel Weisz didn't know when she came to him, and whispered, "I'll get tired of it after a while, no matter what they say or do, it won't change the fact that you are the hero." ”

Brandon Fraser still looked like a big grin, and said to Rachel Weisz with a smile, "You think too much, I think Matthew is very good." ”

The meaning of these words is unclear, Rachel Weisz can only shake her head secretly, but she doesn't say anything more, "The Mummy Returns" has been released, and this crew will not exist for a long time.

After the press conference, the premiere of "The Mummy Returns" was over, Matthew took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, there was no phone call or text message, and he was ready to leave the Emirates Rock Theater and go home, and it was not too early.

"Matthew!" the press officer came over and reminded, "remember next Monday's event in Las Vegas, don't be late." ”

"I remember. Matthew pointed to his forehead, "It must be on time." ”

The film has just had a huge premiere and will be released on a large scale in North America, starting next Monday, including him, Rachel Weisz and Brandon Frazier, among others, will travel together in major cities across the United States to build momentum for "The Mummy Returns".

Matthew walked towards the side entrance of the Emirates Rock Theater and found Brandon Fraser right in front of him, and quickened his pace.

"Hi Brandon. He still looks the same as before the premiere, "I have time to go and have a drink together." ”

Brandon Fraser slowed down, "Forget it, we'll talk about it later." ”

The two walked out of the theater together, and two black cars stopped on the side of the road, one after the other, and before they could get closer, a large number of reporters surrounded them.

The reporters began to ask a lot of questions, and Matthew and the two walked separately to their respective cars, and for some reason, there were twice as many reporters around him as Brandon Fraser, and most of them were somewhat familiar faces, as if they had participated in the press conference.

"Matthew Horner, are you telling the truth at the press conference? What we got from the crew, you're on time every day, and Brandon Fraser likes to be late, isn't it?"

These reporters, who mainly attack gossip, seem to vow not to give up until they dig up the fierce information of the crew.

Matthew also guessed why there were more reporters besieging him, and a newcomer like him was easier to deal with than an old actor like Brandon Frazier.

But he didn't say a word, just moved towards the car little by little.

"Matthew!"

A reporter shouted, "Don't you think that fat man from Brandon Fraser is very bad and funny in the film? I watched the whole film, and he didn't make any impression on me, but you played the Scorpion King, which is very brilliant, what do you think of this?" ”

Matthew ignored it, rushed out of the crowd of reporters, and got into the car.

On the other side, Brandon Fraser heard the question clearly and immediately frowned.

The premiere ended, and "The Mummy Returns" began to be released on a large scale in North America, but the word-of-mouth was not as good as expected.
