In Los Angeles, in front of the Pasanadi Theater, Matthew stood in a row with the other actors, allowing the many reporters across from him to take pictures, and more than a dozen actors stood side by side, like in the promotional poster of "Black Hawk Down", as if they were life and death comrades who would never give up.
In the row, the male lead Josh Hartnett stands in the center, flanked by Johnny Lee Miller and William Fidnell, which is also arranged according to the importance of the scenes in the film.
Matthew stood next to William Fidnell, facing the camera lens with a trained affinity smile on his face all the time.
After the photo was taken, reporters swarmed up and surrounded Josh Hartnett, who starred in "Pearl Harbor" has been released in the summer, although it has attracted a lot of bad reviews from the media and fans, but the box office results are not bad, and Josh Hartnett can also be said to be famous.
Josh Hartnett is more appealing to journalists than veterans like William Fidnell and Johnny Lee Miller, who is clearly on the decline.
Seeing that no reporters came to interview him, Matthew had to walk into the theater, and when he came to the theater door, he found that the producer Jerry Bruckheimer was surrounded by a group of reporters in the center, like a superstar.
For commercial entertainment films, Jerry Bruckheimer's role is indeed no less than that of a superstar.
Matthew didn't go directly into the screening room, it was still early to see the time, he went to the toilet, because it was not the premiere, he didn't pay too much attention, he drank two cups of tea at the angel agency before coming, which will already have a little urine, considering that the film may be relatively long, it is better to go to the toilet first.
There was no one in the men's toilet, and after putting the water out, Matthew was standing in front of the washbasin to wash his hands, and suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps from far and near, which seemed to be coming towards the bathroom, and turned his head to look, just in time to see Johnny Lee Miller turn in.
Seeing Matthew, Johnny Lee Miller showed his purpose in one sentence.
"Matthew Horner, you're here!" he stared closely.
Matthew wasn't embarrassed at all and greeted with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've seen you, Miller." ”
"It's been a long time since I saw each other. Johnny Lee Miller stepped forward and asked, "What about the tape you are talking about? Why are you avoiding me?
Matthew is still like that, he has no feeling for Johnny Lee Miller's words, he has actually been mentally prepared for the current situation,
Johnny Lee Miller's voice was low, but full of anger, "Matthew Horner! there's no such tape, right?"
Matthew blinked, "Do you want to hear the truth or lie?"
"You'd better tell the truth!" Johnny Lee Miller had been filming with Matthew for months, and he didn't even think of doing it, "or I'd make you look good." ”
"Miller. Matthew stopped going around in circles, "You've already guessed, and I'm still going to answer you?"
"You ......" Johnny Lee Miller stepped forward again, "how dare you fool me?"
Forcing out Tom Hardy from the crew made his agent very opinionated.
"You seem to have mistaken the order, right?" Matthew asked him instead, "If it weren't for the fact that you were trying to plot against me and make a video, would I say there was such a tape?"
He knew that there was no good solution to this matter, and said directly, "There are no videotapes, no videotapes." So, Miller, you can rest assured, there will be no romantic action movies about your love that will flow out. ”
Matthew didn't want to linger with Johnny Lee Miller, so he walked around him and said, "That's the end of the tape thing, we're both clear." ”
"Don't even think about it!" Johnny Lee Miller stopped Matthew, "It's not over yet!"
Matthew spread his hands, "Be a man, don't be like a." ”
This almost stunned Johnny Lee Miller, what do you mean to entangle yourself?
"Miller!" Matthew didn't give him a chance to speak, and said first, "If you think this is not over yet, well! After the preview screening, I'll wait for you in the alley behind the theater, and none of us will shout, and we will solve it one-on-one like a man!"
Thinking of Matthew's tough performance during the filming of the crew, Johnny Lee Miller didn't know how to speak for a while.
Matthew shook his head and left without looking back.
Johnny Lee Miller looked at his back and suddenly realized that this guy was a scoundrel at all!
Having dealt with Johnny Lee Miller in an almost rogue way, Matthew went straight into the screening room, which was full of film critics and media reporters, as well as many industry peers, even if Johnny Lee Miller was stimulated by him, he would not be stupid enough to chase after him.
This is the best way he can think of to deal with it, "The Scorpion King" has already started post-production, and it will soon enter the promotion period, he can't take the risk of really beating Johnny Lee Miller, right?
Matthew let James McAvoy know about Johnny Lee Miller, this guy hasn't mixed well in recent years, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he returns to the UK, and when he can't see him, there will be no trouble.
The only concern is Johnny Lee Miller's fox friends in England in case they want to help him......
He immediately shook his head, unless the relationship is very iron, like James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, who wants to provoke people for no reason in this circle, if there is no good to drive?
Not everyone is Vin Diesel, dragging 258,000 as if he thinks Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and no one pays attention to it.
And once he can become famous, those people will have more concerns.
Entering the screening room, Matthew quickly found his place in the front row, James McAvoy and Ben Foster, who had often mingled with him during the shooting, were not invited, he had been acting alone before, but soon after sitting down, an acquaintance sat next to him.
"Long time no see, Orlando. Matthew took the initiative to say hello to Orlando Bloom.
Orlando Bloom smiled and said, "I heard you're the leading actor? Congratulations, Matthew." ”
"A small production. Matthew was still chatting casually with Orlando Bloom as before, "It's not as good as you, "The Lord of the Rings has not been released yet, just a few trailers, and you're already popular......!"
He paused, then added, "The most handsome and charismatic elven prince in history." ”
Orlando Bloom smiled noticeably brighter than she had just been, and there was a bit of smugness in her smile.
Matthew noticed that Jerry Bruckheimer was coming over, and his position was in the center of the front row, and he was bound to pass by his side.
He was still joking with Orlando Bloom, but the corner of his eye was focused on Jerry Bruckheimer.
"Legolas!"
As Jerry Bruckheimer approached, Matthew whispered to Orlando Bloom in a slightly voice, in a London accent that he had recently practiced, and said to Orlando Bloom nondescriptively, "Over the cold misty mountains, to the deep ancient caves, the pine waves on the top of the mountains howl, the night wind wails like a broken heartstring, the scarlet flames burn endlessly, and the giant trees spread like torches in the mountains and forests." ”
This is a narration from the trailer he watched not long ago, I don't remember it very clearly, but it roughly means this.
Finally, Matthew himself added, "Aragorn is always with you!"
Jerry Bruckheimer walked in front of Matthew, heard something, turned his head to look, and roughly remembered these two very stylish actors, the slender and handsome one was a British actor, who seemed to play Legolas in the upcoming "The Lord of the Rings";
"Huh......" Jerry Brookheimerdo glanced at Matthew, "That's a good English accent." ”
Orlando Bloom was still chatting happily with Matthew, and Matthew said, "Is there a premiere of The Lord of the Rings? Can I go there?"
His purpose is very simple, to go to the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" to gain some heat.
"There was a premiere. Orlando Bloom thought for a moment and said, "I can only ask for you, don't get your hopes up." ”
Matthew gestured to make a phone call, "I've been notified that my number hasn't changed." ”
The two spoke a few more words and found Jerry Bruckheimer, accompanied by the crew's press officer, walking onto the small stage under the screen, as if he had something to say.
Previously, media such as CNN questioned that there was a lot of pressure on the film "Black Hawk Down", and Jerry Brookheimert was obviously targeting this aspect.
"A lot of people are questioning why we made a film like this! The purpose of this $90 million film is certainly not just to recreate history!"
Jerry Bruckheimer is known to work closely with the U.S. military, and the Pentagon can be seen behind everything from "Death Island" to "Armageddon" to "Pearl Harbor". This is also reflected in his words, "This film will make it unequivocal that the United States should never be an isolationist country, and will open the eyes of those who only know about this event through CNN news coverage!"
His words were short and forceful, and the moments of 911 incident here were also very much in line with the overall situation of society.
Then, the film began to be screened, and the picture style was extremely realistic, showing the battle of Mogadishu almost realistically.
It was the longest ground war in the United States since the Vietnam War, and it also suffered the heaviest casualties, but the film does not focus on these, but on the repeated emphasis that "all brothers must come back, whether they live or die, and never give up on any of their fellow citizens......
