Chapter 190 Star Actor

On Monday morning, Matthew sat in front of the computer early, opened his mailbox to refresh it, but did not receive any new emails, and called Helen Herman again. Helen Herman has not yet got the relevant data, just told him At about ten in the morning, I went to Angel Brokerage to sign a new contract.

Matthew and Helen Herman have discussed carefully, and both sides have the will to continue to cooperate. There are not many differences in other conditions. It is impossible for him to find a more suitable agent than Helen Herman in a short time. Staying at the Angel Agency is the best choice at present, and Helen Herman took the initiative to reduce the agency fee, and the 8% agent commission is also a conscience price for an actor of his level. .

This time the two parties signed the longest three-year contract in the industry.

After finishing the call, Matthew opened the webpage and looked at it. There was no updated box office data on the website for the time being.

ice.Mojo is a website under Amazon that systematically calculates movie box office. Founded in 1998, it is currently the most famous movie box office statistics website in North America.

However, the timeliness of the Internet in this era is not comparable to that in the future, and the website's box office update speed is far from being very timely.

Seeing that the website data had not been updated, Matthew refreshed his mailbox again, but there was still no email.

He simply opened the IMDB website, and was going to check the fan ratings. After clicking on the column, he saw that the rating was still at 6.0 for the time being. Suddenly, he found that in the film's cast list, the column of his name was also clickable. Link, quickly move the mouse to open.

The pop-up window is his IMDB column. On the far left of the column is a half-length photo of him in formal clothes. On the right side of the photo is a brief text introduction, marking his hometown and birth date, etc., and further down is him. The stills and links of the films that have appeared in the chronological order are , , , and , and the earliest ones that were completely passers-by did not appear in them.

Matthew doesn't know the rules of IMDB's inclusion either, so he guesses that the character in Zai is too passerby.

However, it was mentioned in the "Did You Know" column at the bottom of the column page.

After reading it roughly, Matthew understands that this IMDB column is also an effect.

Afterwards, he landed on his personal blog and specially published a blog post recommending a web column with his IMDB number.

Now the number of visitors to his blog has risen sharply. Matthew has paid special attention to it. In the past two days, the average daily number of visitors has exceeded 3,000, and the total number of followers has reached five figures.

The most obvious is that the number of people who leave messages to support him has increased significantly.

Suddenly there was a reminder in the mailbox. Matthew quickly closed the blog and went to the mailbox page. He just received a new email from Helen Herman.

He hurriedly opened the email, and when he waited for the webpage to refresh, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and he kept dragging the mouse with his right hand.

Although the box office of the film was good two days before its release, the box office in the first week will inevitably explode, but he also wants to see a higher number, after all, this is the first film with a male lead.

The webpage finally came out, and when he saw the number on the email, Matthew immediately laughed.

It wasn't the kind of laughter he had practiced so carefully, but a laughter of joy from the heart.

In the North American film market, due to the relationship between Monday and the working day, the box office on Sunday is almost certain to decline compared to Saturday, with a drop of nearly 35%, and it won $11.07 million, thus earning $40.37 million in the first three days of the first weekend, not only easy to get No. 1 at the North American box office, and also broke the record for the best film premiere in the North American box office in April.

The box office in the first weekend reached the production cost, and Matthew also knew what it meant. Whether it is now or in the future, it basically means a great success.

His heart was completely put back into his stomach, and even if the week went bad, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

Matthew stood up and let out a long sigh of relief. He felt completely relieved, and then he laughed, and the uncontrollable excitement spread from his heart to his whole body.

This peculiar feeling cannot be described in words, perhaps success is this feeling, he became famous!

He took a step forward and slumped on the sofa. He didn't want to move at all, he just wanted to experience this hard-won success. From today, he will be a veritable Hollywood star!

Although the coffee position is not very large, it is also an absolute star actor!

Leaning on the sofa, Matthew was extremely comfortable, even more hearty than a hand-to-hand fight with Britney.

Men need a successful career, and career success can also inspire men's greatest enthusiasm.

At this moment, Matthew put everything behind him, just enjoying the excitement and joy of being successful.

Although no one shared it with him, he was also able to indulge alone.

He also has the right to enjoy the current success. For more than three years, luck and opportunities are indeed good enough, but he has also worked hard enough. If his own ability is not enough, he will not have the current success.

"what--"

Matthew shouted excitedly and shook his fist vigorously.

This is in his own home, he doesn't need to hide his emotions, since he is excited, he can shout if he wants to, and he can shout if he wants to!

What Helen Herman, what Angels Agency, what Universal Pictures, what media reporters, what crew directors, put them aside, all these will have to wait for him to enjoy them.

The process of success is long and winding, but the moments of enjoyment are short-lived.

After a few minutes, Matthew gradually calmed down. From the undulating clouds, he fell back to the flat ground. For him, the road ahead was still very long.

Packing up his mood and changing his clothes, Matthew is ready to go out.

He entered the yard, came to the gate, just opened the door and walked out, the flashing lights illuminated the snow-white side of him. A few cameras alone could never have this effect, although it was temporarily seen due to the strong light. Not sure, but Matthew could guess that there were at least a dozen reporters around.

"Matthew Horner, have you seen the latest box office stats? Any thoughts?"

Before Matthew could see clearly, a bunch of microphones were directly blocked in front of him, and more than a dozen reporters gathered around them, asking questions like crazy.

"Now that you are famous, what do you want to do most?"

"It is said that Universal Pictures is preparing to shoot the sequel, will you continue to be the male lead?"

Different from being interviewed by reporters before, these reporters were more enthusiastic, and the enthusiasm brought about an almost chaotic order. Matthew was completely surrounded by these people in front of the house.

Some reporters asked questions, some reporters took pictures, and some reporters even squatted down to take pictures.

It's a pity that Matthew is not a woman, and he was wearing slim-fitting trousers, so the reporter couldn't take any pictures.

Not only the reporters but also the paparazzi gathered here. They were disorderly, and they kept asking all kinds of messy questions.

"The lights in your house were on all night last night. Are you having a party with women?"

"Someone saw three women entering your house, did you..."

Some questions were almost impossible to answer. Matthew immediately judged that the reporter would not give in easily, then took a step back, opened the door with his backhand, and stepped back.

Although the door was not closed, the reporters and paparazzi were not stupid and stopped outside the door quickly.

Matthew saw someone taking pictures inside and slammed the door shut.

It's not that no reporter paparazzi followed him before, and the situation of staying outside also appeared on the premiere day, but it was the first time that he treated him so warmly.

The box office was a big hit in the first week, and he, the leading actor, was the most acclaimed in the film, and he obviously became famous...

He has become famous, the film is still being released, the conditions are good, and he is fighting with critics. He is obviously a hot news personality enough.

Matthew analyzed the current situation almost instantly.

He thought about it and called Helen Herman. In this situation, without the help of bodyguards or security personnel, it seemed impossible to get out of the reporter's containment.

Half an hour later, Helen Herman knocked on his door, Matthew opened the door, let Helen Herman in in a flash of lights, and then quickly closed the door.

"Did you bring the contract?" Matthew asked.

Helen Herman nodded and handed over the file bag in her hand, "You look at it first. After signing, when these reporters disperse, we will go to the Actors Guild for the record."

Matthew took the file bag and wanted to open it, Helen Herman reminded, "Let's go to the house, this yard makes me very uncomfortable."

"Okay." Matthew led the way, walked through the courtyard, and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he found that there seemed to be a figure on the glass of the door, so he quickly looked back.

On a big tree on the side of the road, a reporter with a camera just climbed up and leaned on the branch of the tree, just in time to capture the inside of the yard.

"These guys..." Matthew couldn't help but have a toothache, "Are they crazy!"

Obviously, the arrival of a tall and beautiful woman like Helen Herman has stimulated the reporter paparazzi to become more enthusiastic and unrestrained.

Helen Herman also glanced over there and said, "It's normal, you've just become famous now, it's when the popularity is the highest, it'll be fine in a few days."

Matthew entered the door first, let Helen Herman on the sofa, opened the file bag, and said, "I'm afraid they are more interested in a beautiful woman like you entering my door."

"It doesn't matter." Helen Herman said calmly, "I am your agent, and media reporters are not stupid."

"Um……"

In response, Matthew took out the contract and looked at it. Lawyer Wilson called him and the contract was reviewed.

After flipping through it, there was no problem. Matthew picked up the pen and signed the contract in duplicate. However, he was a member of the Actors Guild. According to the union's regulations, the contract must be filed with the Actors Union.

He handed the contract to Helen Herman, and Helen Herman glanced at it, put it in a file bag, and said, "Matthew, you're a star actor from now on, there are things I need Say it."
