For Matthew, Elena Boyard can be said to be the most reliable entertainment reporter at present, and Matthew and Helen Herman are very clear that celebrities and entertainment reporters are not as antagonistic as they appear on the outside, celebrities never leave non-entertainment reporters, and entertainment reporters are also inseparable from celebrities.
The two are interdependent, both antagonistic and cooperative.
Having such a close-knit entertainment journalist as Yelena Boyard can sometimes be very convenient.
Helen Herman made eye contact with Matthew and then said to Yelena Boyar, "You're going to Warner's gossip site next month?"
Yelena Boyar nodded, "I'll be going to work early next month, and the site will start a trial run in the middle of the month." ”
Helen Herman looked at her and said, "We can give you a piece of news that will be a breaking point." ”
"Matthew preparing to star in a sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean?" asked Yelena Boyar.
"It's not. Helen Herman shook her head and added, "I'm currently in talks with the crew of Dawn of the Living Dead, which was initiated by Universal Pictures and Sean Daniel, and if all goes well, Matthew will be the lead actor." ”
Elena Boyar was about to speak, but Helen Herman raised her hand to stop her, "I don't know when I'll sign the crew, so there's no guarantee that this news will wait until the site is running." ”
"Then what do you say about this. "Yelena Boyar seems to be a little dissatisfied.
Helen Herman didn't care about her little emotions and said, "I've talked to Matthew about letting him break up with Keira Knightley next month." ”
Not only with Matthew, but also with Keira Knightley's agent and crew.
"Really?" said Yelena Boyar, who was instantly interested, the site was based on breaking news and gossip, the kind of news that was the most popular, "Can you give me an exclusive?"
She is well aware that with the explosion of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Matthew and Keira Knightley have become popular, especially Matthew, who is currently ranked second among IMDB's most watched stars, and is only second only to Johnny Depp in the limelight in the last week or so.
As an entertainment reporter, she knows the position of the tabloids in North America and the public who pay attention to scandals, most people think that Keira Knightley is not worthy of Matthew Horner, and thinks that Keira Knightley has no face, no figure, and no acting skills, how can such a mediocre British woman be worthy of such an excellent American handsome guy as Matthew.
Similarly, the British media on the other side of the Atlantic are not optimistic about Matthew and Keira Knightley, thinking that a vulgar Texas hillbilly who has not even attended high school can be worthy of an elegant, intellectual and classical English rose like Keira Knightley.
Although it is understood that the two are in a public relations relationship, the news of Matthew and Keira Knightley's breakup is absolutely in line with the people's will, and the audience will inevitably applaud, which is enough to become an entertainment news point that has attracted much attention.
Helen Herman thought about it for a moment and said, "I'll coordinate with the crew, you've followed up on this, and it's going to be fine." ”
Elena boyar was in a good mood and was about to say goodbye and leave, but before leaving, she said, "This is done, I'll treat you back." ”
When she got out of the nanny car and walked towards her car, Yelena Boyar felt that the weather was really good today, and now Matthew Horner is no longer the little actor and star he used to be, he has definitely entered the ranks of the second line, and unlike the kind of star who encourages him to maintain the second line, his upward momentum is very good, even if there are no other outstanding works, he will star in two sequels to "Pirates of the Caribbean" later, as long as these two sequels are released, there will be the current "Pirates of the Caribbean" , 100% of the time is a first-line star.
Looking at the whole of Hollywood, A-list stars are just a small group of people, and they can become news wherever they go out on the street.
As long as she can hold the line of Matthew Horner, even if there is no progress in other aspects, she will be able to worry about food and clothing for at least five or six years.
In the nanny's car, Matthew said to the driver, "Go back to Burbank." ”
He stretched, leaned back in his chair, and prepared to take a nap, having spent the morning dealing with the energetic adolescents, and was still a little tired, and he was still tired for half the night last night.
Helen Herman sat next to her, glanced at Matthew, and asked, "Didn't sleep well last night?"
Matthew shrugged slightly, "We are going to break up next month, and Kayla and I cherish the rest of this time, and we have been ...... last night Ahem......" he coughed quietly, "until one o'clock in the morning." ”
Helen Herman naturally understood this, but she didn't have any embarrassment, and said directly, "Take safety measures." ”
These young male and female stars in Hollywood, one by one, go crazy and ignore it, like Matthew and Keira Knightley, who say that they are good friends, live under the same roof, and immediately start doing things, she has heard a lot.
Matthew stretched again, "Don't worry, am I the kind of person who doesn't know how heavy it is? ”
I used to just watch the fire from the other side, and I also knew that the private lives of Hollywood stars were chaotic, but now when I enter this circle, I have heard and seen too much, not to mention those other people, just Keira Knightley, who is only eighteen years old, can feel that she has a wealth of experience from the first time.
If nothing else, even if it is for his own safety, he must take protective measures.
Back at the angel agency, Matthew took the script of "Dawn of the Living Dead" to the conference room on the first floor, and continued to study the male lead, who has been busy with the promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean" recently, and some exercises in fitness, fighting, acting and writing, it is inevitable that there will be interruptions, which is also a matter of no choice, he got a high salary from the crew and signed an agreement, so he naturally has to cooperate with the crew's work.
After today's promotional campaign, Disney Studios will basically not have any more large-scale promotional activities about "Pirates of the Caribbean", the film's reputation has spread, and after this wave of promotional offensive, it is enough to maintain a certain amount of publicity.
Matthew stayed until the Angel Agency got off work before he was ready to leave, and Helen Herman had already communicated with the crew, and when he broke up with Keira Knightley, he could give Elena Boyar exclusivity.
Driving his BMW, Matthew did not go home immediately, first went to ABC TV to pick up Keira Knightley, who was involved in the recording of the show, and then returned to the residence after being tracked by a group of paparazzi.
Before he and Keira Knightley were tired of each other's bodies, life in such a shameless two-person world was full of fun.
However, this kind of life will not last long, and the breakup of the two has entered the countdown.
Beginning on Wednesday night, news of Will Turner's rescue of Harvard's Westlake School began to circulate widely, with videos on the Internet and television news, and by Thursday, when many print media outlets joined in, the hype reached a peak, attracting the attention of a large number of people who didn't care much about "Pirates of the Caribbean."
Especially teenagers, when many people see that Matthew is willing to come forward to solve the problem because of a letter from a girl fan, his favorability instantly rises, and going to the theater to buy tickets to watch movies has also become the best outlet for this emotion.
The importance of publicity and hype for a film is self-evident, and the most direct result is that the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the third weekend once again showed an unusually strong trend.
In the third weekend of the film's release, the decline was still controlled at a little more than 30 percent, and it received $29.8 million from the North American film market in three days, plus the box office accumulation of the previous four working days, "Pirates of the Caribbean" successfully broke the $200 million mark at the North American box office in just three weeks, reaching $201.02 million.
In addition, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has also appeared in theaters in more overseas markets, showing in more than 80 countries and regions, and the total overseas box office has exceeded 200 million US dollars.
The film's global box office surpassed $400 million.
Whether it is word-of-mouth or box office, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been a great success, and the success of the film has brought huge benefits to many people and companies.
The ones who benefited the most were, of course, Disney Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer's company, were undoubtedly there, followed by the director and the cast of actors, with director Gore Wibinski going from obscurity to fame.
In terms of actors, Johnny Depp has risen from a second-tier geek to a first-line geek with the role of Jack Sparrow, although he is in a lower position, he is also unstable, and he may fall down at any time, but "Pirates of the Caribbean" is about to be made into a series, Johnny Depp is generally optimistic about the future, and after many years of shaking, he finally became a mainstream star in Hollywood.
Followed by Matthew, no one doubts that he has risen from the third to the second line, and belongs to the kind where the second line continues to rise very obviously, and many media and critics believe that after Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis, Hollywood has finally found a future action superstar.
And then there's Keira Knightley, although Elizabeth Swan's response is average, but it's enough to get her into the second line, in the words of the media, after Kate Beckinsale, Hollywood has another dazzling British rose.
Every day the paparazzi are with him, from time to time on the road someone asks for autographs, reporters actively interview, these feelings of fame, Matthew is excited, "Pirates of the Caribbean" can be said to make him fame and fortune, and laid a very solid foundation for the next step.
Helen Herman's contact with Sean Daniel has always been in a more active position.
However, the star halo has brought both benefits and a lot of troubles, and some troubles have come to the door on their own initiative.
