The sun has just turned to the west, and the Pacific Ocean has not yet set, and the not-so-large premiere of "Dawn of the Living Dead" kicked off on Nokia Plaza, and this afternoon the zombies came out, and all kinds of zombies almost completely occupied Nokia Plaza, except for the zombies, the rest of the fans holding Matthew's posters are the most.

The hype in the two weeks before its release has greatly increased the popularity of the film.

A Universal Pictures executive told Sean Daniel a while ago that the publicity campaign was worth five million dollars in promotional expenses.

Although it is an exaggeration to say this, the sensational effect caused by the video of Matthew and Scarlett Johansson is absolutely amazing.

The news even made the headlines and front pages of many tabloids on the other side of the Atlantic, such as The Sun.

How effective Scarlett Johansson's side is, Matthew doesn't pay attention, but it won't be bad to think about.

In the midst of a zombie dance, Matthew walked the red carpet and came to the media area for a routine interview, and he didn't answer all the questions asked about Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba.

For him, these two people are in the past for the time being.

Then there was a series of group photos, photos with sponsors, etc., until it was dark and the main creative members of the cast such as Matthew, Jessica Alba and Alexandra Daddario walked into the theater.

Matthew and Jessica Alba are still talking and laughing, Alexandra Daddario and Jessica Alba still don't talk to each other, and Matthew has noticed that Alexandra D'Ardario is more polite to him than the last time they met.

This kind of thing is also normal, Matthew knows his reputation in private life, and he is probably about to match Leonardo DiCaprio.

Of course, if you want to match Leonardo DiCapriobi in this regard, he is still a little bit behind.

Coming to the VIP lounge, Matthew immediately saw Helen Herman talking with the two middle-aged men, leaving Jessica Alba alone and hurriedly walking over.

"Aziva, Doug ......" Helen Herman introduced the two sides, "this is Matthew, Matthew Horner, my biggest star. ”

She introduced Matthew to a slightly taller middle-aged man, "This is Avazi Gosman, an Oscar winner." Then, another person with a head like a bird's nest was introduced, "This is Doug Liman, a very talented director. ”

Matthew took the initiative to stretch out his hand, shook hands with the two one by one, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then saw Helen Herman's eyes, and took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

It's just an intention now, and he, an actor, takes the initiative to dangle around, which may have the opposite effect.

After all, these two are not Sean Daniel and Zack Schneider, and they are very strangers to each other.

Matthew found Zack Schneider, which is the character he wants to focus on, and after the filming and run-in of this film, his relationship with Zack Schneider is quite good.

"Dawn of the Living Dead is about to be released. Matthew stood next to Zack Snyder and asked in a low voice, "Did you find a suitable project?"

Zack Snyder shook his head and said, "I'm not as famous as you, I'm just a newcomer in the film industry, this film doesn't come out at the box office, who dares to ask me to shoot the next one." ”

He sighed again, "I told you about the style I wanted to shoot, I don't think any producer will like it, and I can't find a suitable subject for the time being." ”

When Matthew communicated with him before, he heard Zack Schneider mention that he wanted to make a film in a strong visual kei style, with heavy dark tones, like a deep oil painting or something.

"Zach ......," Matthew reminded, "maybe you can go to the comics and find out if there's a suitable adaptation for you." ”

"Even if I found it. Zach Schneider was a little helpless, "It's also hard to get investment." ”

Matthew suddenly accentuated his tone and said, "What if you add me?"

Zack Snyder glanced up at Matthew, "Are you sure?"

He knows very well that Matthew is now popular, and it is not too much to say that he is the best among the second-tier stars, and it is said that the invitations he received from the crew are a foot thick.

"If Dawn of the Living Dead succeeds, the two of us will have more capital. Matthew seemed very confident, after all, judging from the early word-of-mouth of the film, the possibility of success is very high, "It will be easier for us to invest again." ”

Zack Schneider nodded, "I'm looking forward to Dawn of the Living Dead being a big hit right now." ”

Only when he makes achievements can he achieve the style he wants.

Matthew laughed, "Me too." ”

"Actually......" Zack Snyder, looking at Matthew, added, "I wanted to highlight a sense of pathos and solemnity in this film, but Sean wouldn't allow me to do that." ”

Matthew continued, "No way, Hollywood is producer-centric. ”

Not to mention Zack Schneider, who is just starting out in the industry, even first-line directors like Ridley Scott are seriously constrained by producers.

After chatting with Zack Schneider a few more words, Matthew remembered the three hundred red pants and reminded him.

"By the way, I remember reading a manga somewhere or something. Matthew had checked it before and found the illustration, "The illustration on it is very similar to the style you described." ”

Zack Schneider immediately asked, "What comics?"

In order to avoid some possible trouble, Matthew said, "I don't remember the specific name, but I remember that the ancient Greeks and the ancient Persians went to war in a place called a pass. ”

Zack Schneider kept nodding, "I'll go back and look for it." ”

"I think a little bit. Matthew reminded again, "It seems that the Spartans fought against the ancient Persians." ”

"Spartans?ancient Persians?" Zack Schneider reacted very quickly and seemed to know a lot about the history of the West, "Thermopylae?"

"Yes!" Matthew agreed, "it's Hot Springs!"

Zack Schneider took it to heart, "I'll look for it tomorrow." ”

After his frequent contact with Matthew, he can detect that this young movie star is very serious about everything that involves work.

Someone came looking for Zack Snyder, and Matthew went to the other side, saw Alexandra D'Addario sitting alone in the corner, and immediately walked over.

"Hi Anna. Matthew sat across from her.

Alexandra Daddario smiled, "Hi, Matthew. ”

Matthew asked, "Why are you here alone?" he gestured to the crowd, "Do you want me to take you to meet some of the heavyweights in the circle?" ”

"No need. Alexandra D'Addario shook her head slowly, "I'm a little uncomfortable. ”

Matthew enthusiastically asked, "Do you want to find a doctor?"

Alexandra Daddario smiled with a hint of embarrassment, "No, my stomach hurts." ”

Matthew immediately understood the meaning of this, and was also a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject, "Have you seen Amanda recently?"

"I haven't seen you in a long time. Alexandra Daddario thought for a moment and said, "The last time I saw her was on New Year's Day, but she is about to graduate, and she will not go to the UK after graduating this summer, and will stay in the United States to develop." ”

Matthew asked tentatively, "You have a good relationship with her?"

Alexandra D'Addario nodded slightly, "We've known each other for a long time and have always been good friends, although I'm a little younger than her. ”

At this time, the crew beckoned the people in the VIP lounge to take a seat in the theater screening hall, and Matthew reminded Alexandra Daddario, "You be careful. ”

Alexandra Daddario wore a pair of high heels.

Matthew stood up first, took the initiative to reach out, and wanted to pull Alexandra Daddario up, Alexandra Daddario hesitated, but still grabbed Matthew's hand, and with the help of his pull, stood up.

"Let's go. Matthew let go of his hand at the right time and led the way.

Alexandra Daddario answered and followed, her blue eyes looking at Matthew's back all the time, revealing a hint of doubt, from the very beginning to the present, in all the contact with Matthew, he was like a warm good friend, not at all as the media reported.

Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head, but during the filming in Toronto, she had heard Jessica Alba's high-pitched screams with her own ears......

Walking through the side door into the screening hall, Matthew came to the first row, where he was seated right between director Zack Schneider and producer Sean Daniel.

Sean Daniel suddenly said, "Matthew, there's something I forgot to say just now. ”

Matthew turned his head and looked at him quizzically.

"I met Stephen the other day. Sean Daniel said directly, "He asked me to remind you that if you have time in early May, you must go to the premiere of his new film." ”

"Hmm. Matthew nodded, "I'll call Stephen when I get back." ”

First Orlando Bloom invited, and now Stephen Sommers invited, and he was definitely going to see the premiere of "Van Helsing."

As for Rachel McAdams's invitation, he had already called and declined politely before, the time when the premiere of "Mean Girl" was held, it is estimated that "National Treasure" has not yet finished filming, and it is impossible for him to put down his serious work and run to attend someone else's premiere.

And after that time, Matthew is not ready to have that kind of relationship with Rachel McAdams again, just find a chance to return the last payment to her.

If it really doesn't work, then it's okay to pay the bill, and it's not a big deal anyway.

As Matthew pondered, the screening hall fell silent, and in the fourth row, Helen Herman sat with Avazi Gossman and Doug Liman waiting for the film to begin showing.

Avazi Gosman is an old acquaintance of Helen Herman's father, and can guess Helen Herman's intention to invite him and Doug Liman over.

Originally, Matthew Horner was one of the objects they were considering, and now it is just right to evaluate it up close.
