Century City, Fox Building Press Hall, hundreds of reporters gathered together, and the launch of the new film project of Twentieth Century Fox is being held.

Although it is not a first-line super production, and there are no top actors and directors to press the lineup, the press conference is still in the spotlight, because the project that is about to start preparations once again brings together two of Hollywood's most famous movie monsters - Alien and Predator!

After the box office success of Paul Anderson's "Alien vs. Predator", the sequel film is officially on the agenda today.

Needless to say, the names of Aliens and Predators are unquestionable, and their influence is unquestionable.

So, as the director of Alien vs. Predator 2, Francis Lawrence was the focus of the entire press conference.

After a few questions, the Fox TV reporter saw the crew behind Francis Lawrence make a gesture and immediately raised his hand to ask a question, and the host of the press conference just nodded him.

The reporter stood up and took the microphone from the staff, followed the pre-set procedure, and asked loudly, "Director Lawrence, a few months ago, you were the director of the crew of "I Am Legend", why did you withdraw from that project?"

The publicist behind him coughed lightly, and Francis Lawrence understood what this meant, and immediately said according to the established answer, "Originally, I thought that this "I Am Legend" movie would be as good as the original work, but I initialed an agreement with the crew and got deeply involved in the preparations, only to find that things were completely different from what I thought. ”

It was very quiet inside the press room, only the voice of Francis Lawrence was wafting, and the media reporters were not fools and immediately realized that there was news that could be hyped up.

Francis Lawrence continued, "The more I learned, the less interested I became in the project I Am Legend, it didn't move me at all, especially when such a near-one-man show brought in an actor like Matthew Horner who was better at action than acting, and I couldn't imagine what the film would look like after the filming was made." ”

Hearing the name Matthew Horner, the press room instantly exploded, as if all the news announced before the press conference was not as attractive as Francis Lawrence's words against Matthew Horner.

Behind Francis Lawrence, the head of public relations and publicity from the crew, inadvertently showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the crew wanted this effect.

Aliens and Predators are indeed two of the most famous monsters ever created in Hollywood movies, but the era of their popularity is so far away that today's young people rarely pay attention to it, and so far away that the two together are not as attractive as a Matthew Horner.

Due to the withdrawal of Paul Anderson, the director of "Alien vs. Predator", the sequel had to re-select the director, and the reason why Twentieth Century Fox chose Francis Lawrence from the crowd of candidates was that he had directed films with similar dark themes, secondly, he was strongly recommended by the famous director Spike Lee, and finally his departure from the crew of "I Am Legend" and the potential conflict with Matthew Horner, which can become a hype topic that vigorously promotes "Alien vs. Predator 2".

It's clear that Francis Lawrence is taking aim at Matthew Horner like he detonated a bomb among media reporters.

He can imagine that Alien vs. Predator 2 and director Francis Lawrence could soon become a hot topic of discussion among fans and the media.

Of course, some things must be done in moderation, after all, what the crew wants is a project promotion that will allow the audience to temporarily remember that "Alien vs. Predator 2" has started filming, rather than completely offending Matthew Horner.

Francis Lawrence, following the established strategy, concluded, "Out of concern for the film itself and the actor, I voluntarily turned down the directorship of 'I Am Legend'. ”

At this point, he closed his mouth, and the host just rightly announced that the press conference was over.

Hundreds of reporters were talking, and they didn't leave the press room, gathering in front of the Fox Building, trying to dig up more fierce material from Francis Lawrence's mouth.

Francis Lawrence and "Alien vs. Predator 2" have hype intentions, and most reporters can see it, but they can't refuse, because it is far more attractive to readers and netizens than normal reporting on a movie project, and the meaning of Francis Lawrence's words is obvious, he should have clashed with Matthew Horner on the crew of "I Am Legend".

A black sedan drove up and stopped in front of the Fox Building, and Francis Lawrence, escorted by several security personnel, got into the car with his head down, ignoring reporters' questions and flashing lights.

"After today, don't just answer questions about Matthew Horner. ”

The crew's head of public relations and publicity, who was in the car, told Francis Lawrence, "It's just the beginning of the promotion, and the most important part is to stay before the film is released." ”

Francis Lawrence nodded slightly, "I understand." ”

Because of Matthew Horner, he lost the director of "I Am Legend", and now he borrows Matthew Horner's fame to hype and promote himself and the new film he directed, and there will be no psychological burden.

As for whether Matthew Horner will hit back publicly......

Francis Lawrence couldn't help but turn his head to look at the people around him, the producer in charge of publicity and public relations for the crew had previously said that it would be ideal if Matthew Horner responded.

In today's Internet era, news like this has appeared on many entertainment websites in just a few hours, and even many movie forums have related posts.

"Need a response?"

In the office, after Bella Anderson told Matthew about the situation, she asked, "This topic is very hot on the Internet. ”

Now she is in charge of a team of assistants who are responsible for keeping an eye on the news and developments about Matthew on the Internet and traditional media.

Ma Xiu watched the video of the press conference in the turtle, then raised his head and asked, "What do you think?"

Bella Anderson didn't think about it, and said directly, "I don't think to respond for the time being, from the current analysis of the situation, Twentieth Century Fox and Francis Lawrence are obviously borrowing your fame and popularity to hype, and if we respond, not only will it not work, but it may make them further hype up this topic." ”

"That's right. Matthew very much agrees with Bella Anderson's statement, "Actually, Francis Lawrence is right, my action scenes are better than acting. ”

He has a very good mentality and is also very self-aware, and he can't help but laugh when he says this.

Bella Anderson added, "Twentieth Century Fox seems to be intent on controlling the direction of the hype, and what Francis Lawrence said is not overtly aggressive, and the statements directed at you are not excessive. ”

Matthew spread his hands and said, "Maybe when, Twentieth Century Fox will cooperate with me, this kind of hype is also used in the circle, and it will keep enough bottom line." ”

Bella Anderson nodded slightly, "We don't have to fight twentieth century Fox and Francis Lawrence, that's exactly what they want to see." ”

"Hmm. Matthew replied and said, "Stay tuned for the time being, and if Francis Lawrence has over-the-top remarks, remember to inform me and Helen in time." ”

"Okay. ”

Bella Anderson looked at Matthew and asked, "On this floor, the company next to us went bankrupt, and now the studio is getting more staffed, do you want to rent it?"

Matthew looked up and swept his gaze over the office, where there were five other people besides him and Bella Anderson.

Now he is firmly in the ranks of Hollywood's A-listers, and although he is still a long way from superstardom, he has also squeezed into the $20 million club, and he does not have to be as frugal as he was when he rented an office.

And as a boss, it's a bit unseemly to be crammed into one office with all the employees.

"Let's rent it. Matthew quickly decided, "Remember to have a separate office for me." ”

He patted the monitor on his desk and said, "Also, get a new computer, this one is a little old." ”

"Hmm. Bella Anderson wrote it down in the work diary.

Matthew remembered one more thing, "There are a few encrypted videos on this computer, you copy them out and keep them for me." ”

Bella Anderson gave Matthew a stealthy look, and said in her heart that it couldn't be a video with Britney...... No, when renting this office, Matthew had already broken up with Britney, could it be other actresses?

Although her head is full of cranky thoughts, she doesn't show it, and as a personal assistant, sometimes the eyes and ears have to be decorations.

Matthew didn't care about Francis Lawrence's remarks and didn't even intend to respond.

However, he has countless fans in North America, and these fans will certainly not let go of Francis Lawrence, and even some neutral fans can't look at it, and together with Matthew's fans, they have crowded into Francis Lawrence's personal blog and written messages like knives.

"It's a good thing you refused, otherwise Matthew's new film would be in danger. ”

"It's really a brag that you don't have to pay taxes, and people who don't know still think you're a great director. ”

"Who wouldn't brag? Back then, Fox asked me to shoot the Titanic for them, I didn't want to go to romance movies because they thought they were too grinding, and I told them that Cameron boy was very good, and I was optimistic about him!"

"Numerous companies in the San Fernando Valley, as well as Stormy Daniels, Nikki Anderson, Kayden Cross, Jessica Drake, Julia Ann, Sylvia Saint, and Jenna James, among others, invited me to go with them, and I refused because of their acting skills. ”

"Director Francis Lawrence rejected 'I Am Legend', and Warner Bros. managed to avoid the risk of bankruptcy. ”
