Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

In fact, Sean Daniel has little opinion on the candidate recommended by Stephen Sommers this time, after all, he is not a black man, and his family has nothing to do with black people, so in this respect alone, it is more in line with his heart.

But as a producer in charge of the overall situation, he thinks more.

"Stephen, have you thought about it? Sean Daniel said seriously, "The actor Matthew Horner was born in 1980, but the heroine you recommend was born in 1968, will the difference in appearance brought by the age of the two be a little big." ”

In general, American women tend to look old after the age of 30.

"Absolutely not. Stephen Sommers assured, "I've seen her in person, she looks in her twenties, she's sexy and beautiful, and she meets our requirements for a heroine." ”

Sean Daniel knew that Stephen Sommers was not the director of the mess, and he would not refuse him if it wasn't for the actor's problem last time, so he immediately thought about it seriously.

Stephen Sommers added, "This actress named Kelly Hu has won the National Teen Beauty Pageant and is also a black belt in karate, which is conducive to the filming of action scenes. ”

In the plan, the heroine also has a lot of action scenes.

Sean Daniel finally nodded, "So, you let her come over for the audition." ”

Stephen Sommers understands that Sean Daniel has no opinion, and he can be regarded as returning the favor.

As for director Chuck Russell, neither of them took his opinion into account, the director was the filming director they hired and basically didn't have much power in other aspects.

There was a knock on the door, and then the press officer in charge of the crew's media and public relations business walked in.

"Good morning, both. The press officer greeted the two men familiarly.

Stephen Sommers stood up to leave, and Sean Daniel asked, "Any good news?"

"There are twelve national media outlets that are still following us this week. The press officer was clearly prepared, "on the Internet, there are quite a few portals that follow us. ”

Since the success of "Blair the Witch", Hollywood has also taken the role of Internet propaganda seriously, and although the film has invested tens of millions of dollars in Internet marketing, it has also been extremely profitable.

"What about our website?" asked Sean Daniel.

The press officer pulled a chair and sat down, saying, "The official website is still under construction and will be completed by the end of this month at the latest." We've got a blog and we're on the Yahoo Entertainment page......"

He suddenly heard something, patted his head, and said, "By the way, I logged on to Yahoo Entertainment and saw an interesting piece of news." ”

"Huh?"

Sean Daniel had the computer in front of him and immediately went to Yahoo Entertainment, and on the other side, Stephen Sommers also sat down again and opened the Yahoo web page.

In a fairly conspicuous position on Yahoo Entertainment, both of them saw a piece of news.

"Scorpion King Matthew Horner is actively training for fitness in preparation for the filming of 'Scorpion King'!"

Click on this news, the webpage swiped out, and a picture appeared in front of me, the first few photos are photos of Matthew Horner entering and leaving the fitness club, and there is also the scene of him training in the fitness club in the back.

Movement training, coordination training, pace training, special physical training, hand target sandbag training, conditional combat training......

The muscular man in the picture is covered in sweat, which makes people think that he is training with a large amount of exercise.

"Matthew has always been a hard-working actor. "Stephen Sommers has long since lost his preconceptions and likes the actor very much," which was shown during the filming of "The Mummy Returns". ”

Sean Daniel agrees with his words, "That's right. Not only hardworking, but also smart. ”

The press officer laughed, "It's smart indeed." ”

The actor's previous fame basically came from the Scorpion King, and now the Scorpion King is an independent film, which is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation to promote himself.

Sean Daniel briefly browsed the web and said to the press officer, "You contact Helen Herman and let Matthew Horner fully participate in the early publicity, and we will discuss the specific plan." ”

The press officer nodded slightly, "Yes, Matthew Horner, an actor, as long as the packaging is good, is still very selling." For example, his resume can be a model of a hard-working, sunny and successful young actor. ”

"You go and make a plan...... Sean Daniel also thinks Matthew has a lot of potential, "and learn more from the success stories in this area." ”

While the two of them were discussing, Stephen Sommers opened a link on the page and went to a personal blog, which had a familiar face on its head, and he looked at it and immediately determined that it was Matthew Horner's blog.

"Recently started practicing kickboxing......

Below this blog post are some pictures of Matthew Horner, clearly training.

Stephen Sommers continued to scroll down, Matthew's blog posts were not very frequent, only once every few days, most of them were content about practicing acting, reading books and newspapers, and fitness training, and he specially flipped through the back, and found that many of them were before the filming of "The Mummy Returns".

Stephen Sommers is well aware that Matthew Horner is really a good actor.

He also saw comments from some fans on their blogs.

"The blogger is an actor, right? ”

This is the earliest.

"I watched your "Band of Brothers", I specially checked it on the Internet and saw your blog, blogger, you are good, work hard, I am optimistic about you!"

Look at the date, which was left when Band of Brothers was played.

The most, it is still the messages of the past two days.

"No wonder you are in such a good figure in "The Return of the Mummy", it turned out that you worked so hard! Come on! When "The Scorpion King" is released, I will support you!"

"It turns out that it's not easy to be an actor, Matthew Horner, I remember you!"

"Even when the head is sweaty, the blogger is very attractive to laugh. ”

"Give the Scorpion King a capital support!"

Stephen Sommers didn't look any further, but reminded Sean Daniel, "Sean, Yahoo Entertainment has Matthew Horner's personal blog on that news, you can check it out, I think it's newsworthy." ”

Sean Daniel immediately found the link and clicked on the webpage, and the press officer was also curious and walked behind Sean Daniel to take a look.

Unlike Stephen Sommers, Sean Daniel is a producer who takes the big picture, and after looking it up and down, he immediately told the press officer, "Tell the people who built the official website to put Matthew Horner's personal blog on the front page of the film's official website." ”

"Hmm. The press officer was still staring at the computer screen, "I think it's a good propaganda material." ”

Matthew has been updating his blog, even when only Yelena Boyard is the only one who follows him, and even when he's busy at work, he finds time to update it at least twice a week, and after the entertainment news created for him by Yelena Boyard appeared on the Yahoo Entertainment homepage, the blog's visits surged, and the number of followers reached four figures in just one day.

There are even hundreds of messages.

And most of the people who left messages had a positive attitude towards him, even if some people hadn't watched "The Mummy Returns" and didn't know the role of the Scorpion King, but when they saw the pictures of him working hard to fit and train, they also cheered.

For a person like him, hard work may not be rewarded, but if you don't work hard, there will definitely be no reward.

In the following time, the press officer of the crew approached him and Helen Herman and prepared to launch a wave of pre-publicity offensive with him as the main player, and Matthew naturally had no reason to refuse, after all, this was a good opportunity to expand his popularity.

The crew first summoned a photographer to take a makeup photo of the Scorpion King for him, and then used a more professional method to shoot his fitness and training, and then used newspapers and the Internet to publicize how the actor of "The Scorpion King" worked hard for the film.

Anyway, it's good for his reputation, and Matthew has been actively cooperating.

With the publicity of the crew, Matthew gradually felt the difference, first of all, when he went out, more people recognized him, and even in the fitness club, he occasionally met some young people who came to him to take photos and sign autographs;

Especially after Elena Boyard came to visit the house again, Matthew found that there were paparazzi outside and began to squat, and several trash cans closer to the house obviously showed signs of being turned over.

His free and comfortable private life space is gradually disappearing.

But Matthew didn't have to worry about it, wasn't this the life of a Hollywood star he dreamed of?

In fact, he has always been in a good mood, especially after the crew's first salary of $200,000 was paid to the angel agency, he felt that the sky was blue, the ground was green, the air was fresh, and even the sun in July was not so hot......

Whenever he sees himself appearing in newspapers and magazines, even if it is a famous gossip tabloid, Matthew will happily cut out the layout and collect it in the box, anyway, he does it at home, and he doesn't have to dress up in cool clothes, and he likes to revel in the feeling of his name and photo appearing in newspapers and magazines, so he will be intoxicated.

Just don't get confused when you're out of the house or at work.

In late July, Sean Daniel personally called and informed Matthew to go to the crew for a twenty-day professional training, and the crew has identified several other important actors, including the heroine, and the crew's professional action direction team will teach the use of some weapons in the film, and the other is to properly rehearse the action scenes with several other actors to reduce possible problems during filming.

Matthew officially joined the crew, but he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance when he was in the UK.
