Chapter 590: Never

"Matthew, look over here!"

"Megatron, my Megatron, take a look at your Decepticon!"

"Long live Megatron, long live the Decepticons, long live Matthew!"

Walking down the red carpet with Alexandra D'Addario in tow, Matthew could hear the shouts of the frenetic tightropes, especially the Decepticon fans in the tightropes, who seemed to regard him as the leader of the Decepticons.

Whenever a voice came, he would wave over there, and Alexandra Daddario had been holding his arm and smiling at fans and reporters on either side of the red carpet.

It's the premiere of Transformers, and above the entrance in front of the main entrance to the Emirates Rock Theater, a huge poster hangs from the building, and up comes a close-up of the heads of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron.

As for the heroes and heroines Sam and Michaela, there were no promotional posters related to them at the premiere.

From the producer DreamWorks to the distributor Paramount Pictures, they all know very well what fans are coming here to see, and the so-called heroes and heroines can only stand aside.

Matthew and the two entered the interview area, and the crew had a special arrangement, which required him to say a few words to the media.

After standing in front of a crowd of photojournalists and taking pictures, a reporter from CBS immediately walked over, looked at Alexandra D'Addario, and asked, "Miss D'Addario, are you officially dating Matthew?"

Alexandra Daddario stood next to Matthew, smiled, but said nothing, as if she hadn't heard the reporter's question.

The female reporter hit a soft nail and was about to ask Matthew again, but Matthew reminded first, "I don't answer questions that aren't related to Transformers." ”

"Uh......" The female reporter thought about it, threw away the questions originally set with the crew, and asked in a somewhat troublesome way, "Matthew, you have always played positive roles, why do you want to dub a villain in a movie this time?"

Matthew thought for a moment and replied, "In my eyes, Megatron was never a villain, he was my childhood friend. ”

The female reporter seems to have done it on purpose, "but Megatron is indeed the villain in this film." ”

"I don't think so. Matthew seems to have the consciousness of a Decepticon leader, "Megatron is bent on saving his hometown of Cybertron, just as we humans want to save the planet." ”

At this point, he was not ready to continue the nonsense, refused to be questioned again by reporters, and carried Alexandra Daddario into the Emirates Rock Theater.

Under the guidance of the staff, all the way into the VIP room, Matthew saw Steven Spielberg greet him.

"Hi Matthew. "Spielberg was quite welcoming.

Matthew gave him a gentle hug, "Hi, Steven. ”

After a polite hug, Steven Spielberg said with a smile, "I wanted to call you to say congratulations for a long time, but I have been busy, and it has dragged on until now." He was very sincere, "Congratulations on another film that is a box office hit." ”

"Thank you. Matthew humbly said, "It's mainly luck that stained Depp's light." ”

Spielberg didn't really think he was lucky, and said, "What you said at the last media conference provided new ideas for the crew, and the publicity effect was particularly good." ”

Matthew also smiled and said, "You're so polite, Steven." I'm part of the crew, and that's what I'm supposed to do. ”

After exchanging a few words with Steven Spielberg, Matthew walked into the VIP room, and Alexandra Daddario suddenly pointed to a girl of her age not far away and said, "I saw an acquaintance, go over to say hello, and come back to you later." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "Go ahead." ”

Alexandra D'Addario had just left, and Matthew met Spielberg's goddaughter Gwyneth Paltrow, because of "Iron Man", Gwyneth Paltrow stopped to say hello to him, and chatted a few words without being salty, roughly similar to Spielberg, and Gwyneth Paltrow specifically congratulated Matthew.

The reason why this godfather and goddaughter say this is mainly because "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" was a box office hit.

Today, the film has been released in North America for more than a month, and has sold more than $300 million at the North American box office, and nearly $800 million at the global box office.

After a round in the VIP room and greeting a lot of people he knew, Matthew found Michael Bay to chat a few words, and he will be complacent, although "Transformers" has not yet been released, but the pre-sale results have come out, the first weekend pre-sale box office is close to $20 million, and the outside world predicts that the first weekend box office of "Transformers" may be around $90 million.

For Michael Bay, who has had bad luck since the beginning of the new century, this is enough to turn him around.

"I really hope to continue working with you. Michael Bay said to Matthew, "You're the kind of actor any director dreams of." ”

Matthew said deliberately, "Not necessarily. I'm afraid that many directors don't look down on me. ”

Michael Bay, like Matthew, took a purely commercial route, and immediately snorted disdainfully, "What those people say is exactly the opposite of what they think, they want you to star in their films, but they don't want to pay you a full salary." ”

He sneered twice, "These people, if they want to reap the benefits, they don't want to pay enough price, where are there so many good things in this world." ”

Listening to Michael Bay say this, I don't know why, Matthew thought of Harvey Weinstein's fat face, isn't that the big Jewish fat man like that? Sending invitations again and again, but not even wanting to pay 20 million salaries, always with his fame and appeal in the Oscar operation, people take the initiative to reduce the salary.

While Matthew and Michael Bay were talking, one of Hollywood's most recognizable black couples was staring at them.

"Jada, do you see?" Will Smith, who had conspicuous and attractive ears, looked at Matthew and solemnly admonished his wife Jada Smith, "Now Matthew Horner is the most popular star in the first line, he has a lot more network than us, put away your boring thoughts in the future, we will not offend each other." ”

Jada Smith disagreed, saying, "He stinked Spike Lee, and we're going to leave it at that?"

Will Smith quickly pulled her around, looked around, saw that no one noticed this, and said very seriously, "How many times have I told you, we have nothing to do with Spike Lee, never!"

Jada Smith waved her hand casually, "Alright, alright, I got it." She was a little annoyed by Will Smith's words, and casually made an excuse, "I'll go to the bathroom to touch up my makeup." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Will Smith to agree, Shi Shiran walked away.

Will Smith looked at the back of his wife's departure, his face showed a little helplessness, marrying such a woman is really a headache.

He turned his head back to look at Matthew Horner and saw Matthew Horner walking towards him.

Matthew had noticed the Smiths before, and before he could get close to Will Smith, he smiled and said, "Hello, Will, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

"Hello, Matthew. Seeing the outstretched hand, Will Smith stretched out his right hand and shook it, "Long time no see." ”

When he saw Matthew take the initiative to come over to say hello, a trace of vigilance rose in his heart, and at the same time, another thought arose, did the other party not take the last incident to heart?

Last time, the person who stood up was Jada Smith, and he then solemnly apologized publicly for Jada Smith.

Matthew didn't know what Will Smith was thinking, so he chatted a few words without showing the slightest hostility, as if there were many stars in the circle who had competed, after the competition, you go yours, I go mine, you can't become friends, and you won't be enemies.

But what he was hiding in the deepest part of his heart was incomparably clear about what Will Smith had done, and what the consequences would have if he had done it.

Think about it, with the current situation in Hollywood and the social environment in North America, once the charge of racial discrimination is confirmed, let alone the status of a big star, he will not even be able to gain a foothold in this circle.

He has never been a good person, and he has never wanted to be a saint who repays grievances with virtue.

Matthew chatted with Will Smith for a while, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you see your wife when you came here alone today?"

"Ah, she went to the bathroom. Will Smith looked at Matthew, "You didn't bring a female companion?"

She went to talk to a friend. Matthew said with a smile.

When the two of them said this, they reached the point where they had nothing to say, and they each made excuses and left for other places.

Matthew spoke to Meghan Fox again, and then met Shia LaBeouf, unlike when he first met, the young actor was like a good boy in front of the public and the media, but when he saw him, Shia LaBeouf's face changed significantly.

Matthew doesn't care about this situation, there is a saying in Hollywood that is very true, how many people like you, often as many people hate you, and he is not a dollar, it is impossible for everyone to like it.

Shea LaBeouf is the kind of person he just has to watch and he will be finished on his own.

When he was about to enter the screening room, Alexandra Daddario had not returned, Matthew did not find her in the VIP room, or Michael Bay told him that Alexandra Daddario had left the VIP room alone.

Alexandra Daddario walked out of the VIP room and towards the bathroom, where the friend had just been hiding behind her to touch up her makeup when the lipstick fell on the floor, and when she helped pick it up, she accidentally got some red on her hand.

This is the hand that the woman is holding the man's arm, and she will take Matthew's arm in a moment, and come over to wash it off.

As he was about to walk to the bathroom, a black woman suddenly walked out of the bathroom, and the black woman saw Alexandra D'Addario and immediately stopped.

"You're Matthew Horner's female companion?"
