Standing in front of the dressing room, the female stylist looked at Matthew and unbuttoned a shirt for him, the strong chest muscles were faintly visible.
"Okay." The stylist automatically retreated.
Matthew glanced at the mirror opposite and nodded with satisfaction. This stylist was the one who used it last time. He has a lot of experience in men's styling, so he found him again this time, and the effect was quite satisfactory.
"Mr. Horner." The female stylist said politely, "I'm leaving first, and I have to catch the next one."
"Okay." Matthew smiled at her, "Thank you."
If there are enough coffee places and funds in the future, you can consider hiring her as a dedicated stylist.
After the stylist left, the door to the dressing room was pushed open from the outside, and Helen Herman walked in and asked, "How's the preparation going?"
Matthew knew that she was not just asking about the shape, and pointed to his head, "It's all in it."
Helen Herman glanced at his watch, "It's almost time, let's go."
The two walked out of the dressing room together and walked towards the press conference room of Universal Studios.
This is the film project launch conference held by Universal Pictures. After a period of planning, the crew has already taken shape. Except for the production team headed by Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers, Matthew was officially appointed as the director. Actor, Chuck Russell as director.
Although there has been some silence in the past two years, Chuck Russell is also a senior director in the circle. When he was brilliant in the past, he directed Harmony. Unfortunately, the response to the recent two works has been mediocre, otherwise he would not have directed such a work. .
According to Helen Herman, the reason why Sean Daniel and Universal Studios chose such a director who is obviously going downhill is his ability to shoot routine commercial films.
There is no doubt that it must be a very standardized Hollywood industrial assembly line work.
From the point of view of risk control, such a film will use its past successful experience as much as possible to avoid the minefield that the audience hates, and the chance of failure is much smaller than that of a film that is full of creativity.
Matthew also likes such a director. If his first film as the leading actor fails at the box office, it is estimated that no one will dare to use him in the future.
He signed a formal agreement with the crew two days ago. In addition to the $500,000 remuneration, Helen Herman won a series of treatment that is in line with the male lead.
In addition, Helen-Hellman also reached another agreement with the crew, and the crew will give priority to the use of actors under the Angel Agency in the use of important supporting roles.
Matthew and Helen Herman entered the lounge leading to the press room one after the other, where Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers were already waiting.
"Hi, Sean. Hi, Stephen." Matthew walked over to say hello, "Long time no see."
He shook hands with the two of them one after another, and Stephen Sommers looked him up and down and said, "Stronger!"
"You want to make me the leading actor, of course I can't let you down." Matthew is still the same as before, very good at talking, "I have been insisting on fitness, in addition to boxing training, I have been practicing free combat recently."
Stephen Sommers nodded, "Yes, I like actors like you."
Sean Daniel came over and patted Matthew's arm lightly, "I said that choosing Matthew will save us a lot of trouble."
Matthew smiled, and just about to say modestly, the lounge door opened from the outside, and director Chuck Russell walked in. He had only seen it on the information provided by Helen Herman before. The two were in Sean -Introduced by Daniel, each politely said a few words.
In the future, I will stay in a crew for a long time, and they are colleagues.
Afterwards, under the leadership of a press officer from Universal Pictures, several people entered the press hall and sat together on the stage opposite the media booth.
There are dozens of reporters in the press room, the number is not large, and the atmosphere is not very enthusiastic. After all, it is only a medium-scale commercial film, and it lacks a director and starring with sufficient popularity.
There were only four people in the crew who participated in the press conference. The press officer said a few words routinely. Sean Daniel began to introduce the basic situation of the film. These are all programmed things, nothing more than the investment of the film and the expected release time. and many more.
In the early days of Hollywood, similar to this kind of press conference, the crew would still read the script, but then the script gradually became the top priority of a crew's secrecy, and this item was naturally cancelled.
Expected to invest 40 million US dollars, it is planned to be released in mid-April next year, in order to avoid the highly competitive summer slot.
Then, when it came to the question time that was essential for the press conference, Matthew, Sean Daniel, Stephen Sommers and Chuck Russell cooperated extremely well even though they had not practiced beforehand.
"Director Sommers, I'm Jelena Boyar from Yahoo Entertainment..."
A tall and sturdy female reporter stood up and asked, "The North American box office has exceeded 200 million US dollars. Why don't you continue the sequel of the series, but instead shoot a movie with a supporting role, and chose the lesser-known Matthew Horner as the male lead. ?"
Stephen Sommers was well prepared, opened his eyes and began to tell the made-up nonsense, "After the release, both the media and the audience felt that the Scorpion King was very eye-catching. The role of the Scorpion King is very suitable for Matthew to play his own advantages. We saw the birth of an action star."
There was silence except for Stephen Sommers' praise for Matthew.
Matthew sat in his seat and stood still. This kind of lie in order to publicize and attract the attention of the media was made up by almost every crew and made up every time he faced the news media.
Stephen Sommers continued, "Matthew's first scene on set blew us all away, and even though he spoke in ancient Egyptian, his performance and charisma were amazing, so we to start negotiating a new film.”
According to him, this project was planned as early as the filming, but this is obviously not the case.
However, people such as Matthew who know the ins and outs of things, of course, will not tell the truth.
These words finally mobilized the somewhat cold atmosphere at the scene.
Another reporter stood up and asked, "So, when you were shooting, you had a production plan in mind?"
"Although the Scorpion King is a supporting role who appeared for less than 20 minutes, it is recognized as an eye-catching highlight."
The person who answered this time became Sean Daniel, who is also well-versed in publicity. "We did find Matthew Horner early in the shooting period and let him star in a movie that really belongs to him."
"Mr. Matthew Horner..."
Finally, a reporter noticed Matthew and asked him, "If I remember correctly, this will be your first time as the male lead of a film. Can you talk about your thoughts?"
"I'm very, very excited!" Matthew has been laughing, smiling brightly, "Sean and Stephen's appreciation is my honor. I have been waiting for such an opportunity, this opportunity is not to be missed, I will not let They're disappointed, and they won't disappoint the audience who liked the character of the Scorpion King."
"I want to add," Stephen Sommers interjected suddenly. "Matthew's charm is not only reflected on the big screen, but he is also extremely dedicated on the set."
He turned to look at Sean Daniel, "Sean and I are his big fans."
"Yes, it is true." Sean Daniel knows how to take advantage of the situation, and now the response is increasing day by day, "In addition to the Scorpion King, I also like Matthew's Ronald Spears very much in , this is full of Infinitely charming character."
The reporters present remembered that this seemingly inconspicuous little actor had also acted in a heavyweight work.
There were more reporters interviewing Matthew. Questions were thrown over, and Matthew dealt with them calmly, which was considered to be comprehensive.
In the end, the reporters aimed at director Chuck Russell. The director is not doing well, and he is a behind-the-scenes type of work, which is relatively unattractive.
When asked by reporters why he took over the directorship of the film, Chuck Russell echoed the words of Matthew, Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers.
"I've always been a fan of movies that cleverly blend wit, action, love and adventure, especially old classics like and, and I've always wanted to make a costume action-adventure movie."
Chuck Russell is also a veteran of dealing with reporters. "It fits my requirements very well. The script and Stephen's description touched me. This is a thrilling journey that will not only show a gripping, but also show chivalrous heart and soul. A story of positivity."
He could see that Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers admired the actor Matthew very much, and that the crew first determined the actor and then the director, so they were full of praise for Matthew, "I Having seen Matthew's work, he has great potential for performance, whether it's the Scorpion King or the middle..."
Chuck Russell didn't watch it at all, didn't remember the character's name at all, and said wrongly, "Whenever these two characters appear on the screen, you can't take your eyes off Matthew. Excellent. I'm sure he will surprise many more people in the future."
Several people are flattering each other and making up the most beautiful lies, but the reporters below are taking notes seriously, as if this is the real situation.
Matthew has been in Hollywood for two years, and he also has his own feelings and judgments. The entertainment industry is like a man-made garden. Flowers and plants make people forget the troubles outside and think this is a world.
