This year's winter in New York is unusually cold, a few days ago, there was a heavy snowfall, and the weather after the snow directly turned on the extremely cold mode, but the biting cold wind could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans, under the weak light of the afternoon sun, groups of all kinds of fans gathered in Washington Square, they walked through the iconic square arch, to the south side of Thompson Street, converged on both sides of a long red carpet, waiting for the premiere of "I Am Legend" to begin.

The enthusiasm of fans is high, especially after the appearance of Phyllis Beretta, a large number of fans surrounded her, asking questions, and the things asked made them like the stars they supported even more.

It was almost dusk, and the red carpet finally kicked off, and one celebrity after another walked on the red carpet, bringing bursts of cheers.

When a black Mercedes-Benz sedan stopped in front of the red carpet, the atmosphere reached its peak, Matthew in a black dress, standing on the red carpet and waving around, fans immediately responded like a tsunami.

The response was so loud that it could even be heard from Lower Manhattan directly to the Upper East Side.

A photojournalist kept filming the red carpet and muttered, "Matthew Horner is so popular!"

A reporter next to him said, "Matthew Horner unreservedly shows his love for fans, and of course fans will love him more." ”

Hearing this, the photojournalist remembered the previous real estate gifting incident, nodded and said, "It's rare in Hollywood to have a star as special as Matthew Horner." ”

Even if it's a show, it's a new level.

When Matthew walked alone from the red carpet, the whole of Washington Square was in a boil.

Washington Square is located in the middle of Greenwich Village and East Village, surrounded by the most bohemian freedom and decadence of New York City, and Greenwich Village to the west has been a haven for writers and artists since the square was built. The Higashimura is a little lower, and the punks and experimental theaters haunt it. Within a kilometer radius of Washington Square, there are great cafes, good pubs, good restaurants, and jazz bars that stay up all night.

Usually, Washington Square is usually packed with people, some are street performers, some are students from the nearby New York University, and there are people who skate inline wheels, take pictures, and take naps......

But now, Washington Square is completely occupied by a group of outsiders from New York, from Los Angeles, from Chicago, from Phoenix...... They come from North America and all over the world.

However, they have a unified moniker – Matthew Horner fans!

Today's premiere, as well as the live broadcast, Warner Bros. has made careful preparations, and the pre-sales of "I Am Legend" have been exceptionally good, and the box office explosion in the first week is inevitable, which also gives them enough confidence.

A reporter from ABC TV's entertainment channel, standing in front of the live camera, first said a few words, and then reminded the cameraman to quickly turn the camera to Matthew Horner on the red carpet.

She said in the form of a voiceover, "If there is such a thing as a 'free man' in Hollywood, then Matthew Horner will definitely be the most popular 'free man' with agents." Because, studio owners must like to sign actors who bring them the most money, and in Hollywood, where Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise are no longer in the limelight, and Harrison Ford and Bruce Willis are aging, the young Matthew Horner has become an increasingly reliable box office guarantee. From "The Scorpion King" and "The Three Hundred Spartans" to "National Treasure" to "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", films starring Matthew Horner have all brought the boss a lot of box office without exception. ”

Seeing Matthew walk into the media photo zone, the female reporter immediately took the photographer to several high-level executives of the film company for interviews, because Matthew has been the focus of entertainment recently, and almost all of the questions she asked were related to Matthew.

Paul Degaraberdian, president of box office tracker Media Digital, said in an interview: "As the last person on earth, Matthew in 'I Am Legend' is very lonely, there's nothing to doubt about that, but in real life he is not a lonely man because too many fans go into theaters to enjoy his performances. ”

Dan Fillman, head of film distribution at Warner Bros., said in an interview with her: "Matthew is one of the most box office stars in the film industry right now. He can act in any movie, the audience loves him almost to the extent of Tom Hanks, and the advance box office of "I Am Legend" proves that Matthew is worthy of every dollar he gets, and he is as good as ever. ”

Warner Bros. management also needs to make a complete comeback with "I Am Legend" to prove its vision and ability to shareholders and Time Warner.

Just two weeks ago, Warner Bros. and its subsidiary New Line Pictures created one of the worst box office tragedies in Hollywood since the beginning of the new century: "The Golden Compass," which was released in time for Thanksgiving, cost $180 million to produce alone, but the box office in the opening weekend was only a measly $25 million, and the cumulative box office is now only $40 million......

This is definitely a super miserable disappointment, and it proves once again that Nicole Kidman is worthy of the title of box office poison.

"Now the whole North American film market is immersed, like a pool of stagnant water. ”

In front of the theater, the famous producer Charles Rowan looked at Matthew Horner who was walking towards the interview area, and said to Christopher Nolan next to him, "Now the hungry audience is like the zombies in the trailer, and they will divide and eat this film......"

Christopher Nolan sighed and said with regret, "He is very unique, he has a rebellious temperament that stands on a high place and looks down on the world, in fact, he is the most suitable candidate for the clown, but unfortunately he is not willing to lose weight." ”

This reminded Charles Rowan that he said, "Jonathan is working on the project where he is writing the script, isn't Christian Bale going to shoot 'Terminator 4' on the right schedule? We need a superstar, and Matthew Horner should be a good candidate." ”

"Hmm. Christopher Nolan nodded seriously, thought about it, and said, "That project is still far away, we still focus on the post-production of "The Dark Knight" first, and wait for the release of "The Dark Knight" before the rest." ”

The plot of that project is a bit complicated, and the Warner Bros. review committee has certain doubts, which leads to Warner Bros. not supporting him enough, and when "The Dark Knight" is released, and the box office is better than "Time to War", he will definitely get enough support.

Charles Rowan nodded and said no more, Warner Bros. wanted him to switch to executive production of the latest DC superhero movie project, and Christopher Nolan's next film may not be produced by him.

In the interview area, Matthew was already standing in front of the camera of ABC TV.

The female reporter did not interview him immediately, but instead made a special comment about him before the interview.

"I really don't know how this man has so much energy——— this energy has a double meaning. ”

Naturally, the female reporter was full of praise, "One meaning is that his box office power is too great, and every film he starred in has been a box office hit and achieved great success; the other meaning is his great energy as an actor, as a worker and a lifer, how can he always make movies and engage in activities with great interest? Isn't he annoying? Isn't he tired? Now let's ask Matthew Horner." ”

With that, she handed the microphone to Matthew and asked, "If you're the only person in the world, what would make you feel comfortable?"

Matthew was personable and joked very seriously, "A pistol, because I'm going out on my own." ”

He then put away his smile and added, "I have a childish thought: I want everyone to go, I want only one person in the world." Although you will be disturbed by others in your daily life, if everyone else disappears, it will be the most miserable experience you can experience. At the time of filming, we emptied six blocks of New York and I was walking alone on Fifth Street, which was cool, but it was cool because there were thousands of people on the other side watching us when we shouted 'stop.'" For me, there's no joy in being alone like that. ”

The female reporter knew that the organizer did not have much time left for her, so she hurriedly asked, "Do you have a completely positive attitude towards life?"

"Yes, totally positive. I am very confident because the cornerstones of my life are reading and sports. Matthew said naturally, "Think about it, we've lived with hundreds of millions of people before, they have problems, they've solved them, and we've written this process in a book somewhere——— we don't have any problems to solve ourselves." There is not a single question that did not appear in a book a thousand years ago. ”

He then smiled, "Exercise has given me a healthy body, let me lose my weak side, and allowed me to cope with work and life with energy." ”

There was a staff member next to her urging, and the female reporter hurriedly asked the best question, "Some time ago, there was a lot of rumors about you giving you a house to your fans, and everyone said that you were a good person, what do you think?"

"Helping those in need as much as possible is at the heart of my life. ”

Although there is no other purpose in doing charity, Matthew asked himself that he had helped many people, which was quite reasonable, and then he said, "Good and bad cannot be defined too simply, but by one's choice." I've always felt that if you're a good person, you'll get good things, and if you're a bad person, you'll get bad things. ”

He praised himself in disguise, "So, I always meet fans who like me and support me, and I like them too." ”

Bella Anderson reminded him by the side, and Matthew immediately ended the interview, went to the photo zone to take a photo with the rest of the crew, and then entered the theater.
