At the Disney Pictures reception, Matthew only said hello to Jerry Bruckheimer and Robert Iger, and did not talk to them about the film, leaving this aspect entirely to Helen Herman, who, like Depp, devoted his energy entirely to the Oscar plan developed by Disney Pictures.
With Disney Studios' promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is actually good for individuals, and the Hollywood film industry has developed to the present, especially the Oscars after more than 70 years of evolution, forming a set of clear rules, if you want to win a heavyweight award, you must have a heavyweight investment.
In this regard, media publicity is a very important part, and Matthew, as one of the leading actors in the film, can naturally borrow a wave of Disney Pictures' publicity heat.
However, Johnny Depp is still the most prominent.
Johnny Depp's agency team has reached an agreement with Disney Studios to apply for an Oscar nomination for Johnny Depp for the role of Captain Jack Sparrow.
Matthew has no idea about the Oscars in this regard, firstly, the role is more of a vase, which does not meet the appetite of the Oscar judges at all, and secondly, the huge investment in the Oscar is also something that neither he nor Helen Herman wants to bear.
Don't throw out a seven-figure investment and want to be nominated for an Academy Award?
Although he has little interest in the Oscars, Matthew is still dutiful on his travel contract, will be present at the relevant contracts, and will be even more vocal about "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Besides, it's good for him too.
As for Johnny Depp's impact on Best Actor, Matthew is even more fully cooperative, he has a good relationship with Depp, if he can decide the result of this Oscar for Best Actor, he will definitely choose Johnny Depp.
In his eyes, Captain Jack Sparrow is much more interesting than the murderers, psychosis, and homosexuals.
It's a pity that Matthew knows very well that even if Johnny Depp does all kinds of work in place, at most he will be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor, and the chance of winning the Golden Man is less than one percent, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a commercial movie, or a magical genre, and the box office is so high, how can it win such an acting award as Best Actor?
If Johnny Depp wins, doesn't it mean that the group of outstanding old men has the same level of appreciation as the general public?
Matthew didn't care about this, and when he was interviewed at the end of the reception, he made no secret of his appreciation for Johnny Depp.
"When I watched Depp's movie for the first time, I looked through the cast list after watching it, and I was surprised to find that this person was played by Johnny Depp!"
In the face of the interview with "The Hollywood Reporter", Matthew's mouth was full of praise, "Watching movies starring Depp, including "Pirates of the Caribbean", you will be completely immersed in the character in the plot, not in the actor's personal aura, I think this is excellent acting, Depp plays what is ......"
Matthew has always been very interesting to his recognized friends, "Unlike me, I always act by myself." ”
Matthew faced the reporter's microphone and said in an accentuated tone, "Depp's eyes are very good-looking and playful, and he is a person with stars in his eyes. But who would have thought that he had created so many classic characters, either lively or weird or crazy, in fact, in real life he was shy and cute, speaking low and slow to touching, and often nervous and non-stop you. Repeats of kno, yes. Such a contrast is so cute. ”
With a hearty laugh, he ended the interview with The Hollywood Reporter dedicated to Johnny Depp.
This is also part of Johnny Depp's public relations, every awards season, these influential entertainment media will sell pages to stars or film companies at a clear price, so that they can spend enough money on publicity.
Propaganda is not limited to touting oneself but also includes smearing opponents.
Matthew was on Entertainment Weekly and saw comments smearing Johnny Depp.
"Johnny Depp's performance is stylized, so he belongs to the actors who are okay in stylized movies, but the little white faces he plays have no bright spots, so his acting skills are average, or even low. ”
But to tell the truth, not the media touted, Matthew feels that Johnny Depp is the kind of genius who deserves to be a genius who doesn't need much training, effort, skill or method, and is naturally suitable for the kind of presumptuous on the big screen, without too many traces of performance, but the role can always be remembered, but because of the lack of systematic training or the lack of a standard line in his own heart, his acting skills also have a wave of Waterloo from time to time.......
In general, Johnny Depp's performance is still very attractive, more like a collision of his personal style and role than acting "skills".
Cheering for such an actor, apart from the friendship between them, Matthew does not feel exaggerated, because Johnny Depp deserves such praise.
A week after the reception, Matthew auditioned again at Disney Studios for the role of a veteran soldier who had served in the Alaska base group and had honed his knowledge of history because of some of the family's secrets.
He passed the audition without any problems, and then Helen Herman began negotiations with the project team officially titled "National Treasure".
All Matthew needs to do is wait for the outcome of the negotiations, which involves millions in salary. The two sides can't achieve it overnight, and in the following time, in addition to his regular life training, he also supported another actor in a timely manner.
In mid-December, Charlize Theron's "The Witch" was officially released in Los Angeles on a small scale, and the production company Newmarket Pictures held a premiere specifically for this Olympic film, and Matthew accepted Charlize Theron's invitation to appear at the premiere with Johnny Depp.
This is Charlize Theron's premiere, and Matthew is very low-key, like Johnny Depp in front, quickly walking the red carpet and coming to the interview area in front of the theater.
"Depp, Matthew......"
Unexpectedly, Charlize Theron happened to be interviewed by reporters in the interview area, and after seeing the two of them, he immediately greeted him, "I'm so happy that you can come." ”
Johnny Depp still has a weird temperament, just hugged Charlize Theron and didn't talk much, but looked at Stuart Townsend next to Charlize Theron, the eyes were quite unkind.
"We are friends ......"
Matthew, like Depp, politely hugged Charlize Theron, "Of course I want to support you." ”
Then, he took the initiative to extend his right hand to Stuart Townsend, "Hello, Mr. Townsend. ”
Surrounded by reporters, Stuart Townsend had the demeanor of a British gentleman, shook Matthew's hand lightly, and said, "Hello, Mr. Horner. ”
A reporter shouted, "Sally, Depp, Matthew, can you take a group photo?"
"Sally, Matthew, Depp, let's take a picture together!"
In an instant, many reporters shouted.
Stuart Townfard's smile suddenly stiffened on his face, and reporters were all shouting Charlize Theron, Johnny Depp and Matthew Horner, and no one mentioned him.
As if he were air......
Although standing with Charlize Theron, Stuart Townsend looked at Johnny Depp on his left, and then at Matthew Horner on Charlize Theron's right, and his heart was very uncomfortable.
Media photos were taken one by one, and then reporters frantically interviewed Matthew Horner and Johnny Depp, asking them what they thought of Charlize Theron, and as in previous interviews with Charlize Theron, no reporters paid attention to him, and no one even noticed his existence.
It's clear that he's Charlize Theron's boyfriend, so his opinion is the most authoritative, right?
Matthew, Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron stood together and were interviewed by reporters, who first asked Johnny Depp a few words, saw that the geek's attitude was neither yin nor yang, and then turned to Matthew's side.
"Matthew, are you friends with Miss Theron?" a reporter asked aloud.
"Of course!" said Matthew, without even thinking about it, "we are good friends who talk about everything!"
Charlize Theron glanced at Matthew, as if she didn't know him that well, right?
Stuart Townsend swept Charlize Theron with an unkind look, he said that he would not let Charlize Theron have too much contact with these people, but she always refused.
Another reporter asked, "Can you comment on Miss Theron?"
Matthew's head immediately turned quickly, and this kind of occasion is definitely not suitable for saying that Charlize Theron is beautiful and sexy.
"The Sally I know is a very thoughtful strong woman!" he searched his stomach and finally thought of a few words to praise independent women, "Sally not only has a beautiful appearance, but also extraordinary intelligence and the soul of an independent woman!"
Hearing this, Charlize Theron couldn't help but look at Matthew again, his eyes deliberately looked at it for a while, these words completely spoke to her heart, Matthew Horner praised the kind of person she wanted to be.
In just a split second, she felt like her impression of Matthew Horner had changed dramatically.
Stuart Townsend was very unhappy in his heart, and he only felt that Matthew Horner had other intentions and was extremely annoying.
But under the lens of media reporters, he just can't show it, and he has to show the same humble smile as Charlize Theron.
On the way to the theater, Charlize Theron deliberately found an opportunity to get to Matthew's side and whispered, "Thank you, you're too famous." ”
"No, no, Sally!" Matthew said with a serious face, "This is what I say, and what I say is the Charlize Theron I know." ”
Charlize Theron smiled, didn't say anything more, and walked away.
Matthew and the strange-looking Depp came to the theater to sit down and watch this serial killer movie that completely destroyed Charlize Theron's beauty.
This movie fully explains what it means to be a beautiful woman turned into a demon.
After the release of "The Female Devil", just like Nicole Kidman who pretended to be ugly with a fake nose last year, Charlize Theron also won a lot of praise, I don't know if it comes from strong public relations, Roger Albert, the benchmark of North American film critics, directly commented that if Charlize Theron could not win the Oscar for Best Actress with his performance in "The Devil", it will definitely make people doubt the fairness of the Oscars.
Of course, Matthew is just watching as a bystander.
Just before Christmas, he welcomed a heavyweight visitor, and after Focus Pictures contacted Helen Herman, Ang Lee approached him.
