The splendid decoration in the huge banquet hall and the big box office sales made Universal Pictures willing to spend a lot of money to hold such a celebration party. In any way, the box office in North America exceeded 100 million US dollars. Tens of millions of dollars in investment are huge commercial successes. X
Following Sean Daniel, Matthew came to two middle-aged people.
"Philip, Jett, this is Matthew Horner." Sean Daniel took the initiative to introduce the two people, and then helped Matthew introduce, "Matthew, this is Philip Clayston, Universal The director of film production! This is Jet Brighton, the deputy director of production."
Matthew quickly stepped forward and greeted the two very politely.
There is no doubt that Jett Brighton and Philip Clayston are both high-level executives at Universal.
"A lot of people say you're the biggest highlight of the film..." Philip Clayton looked very friendly. "I have the same opinion as them!"
Matthew is very humble, "Without a platform like Universal Pictures, it would not be possible to succeed."
Everyone gathered here laughed.
In fact, Matthew is telling the truth. If it weren't for Universal Pictures' ingenious publicity and hype, the so-called biggest highlight of his film alone would not have been able to support such a huge box office figure.
The main reason why Jett Brighton and Philip Clayton were so kind to him was the success.
Philip Clayston suddenly said, "You, the male lead, is very popular and has excellent reviews among the audience. Are you interested in continuing to cooperate with Universal Pictures? Let's work together to build a series."
Hearing this, Matthew immediately remembered Helen Herman's advice, and he would definitely not accept it casually, and said vaguely, "It is my honor to be able to cooperate with Universal Pictures."
Jett Brighton and Philip Clayston were busy people, and after a few more chats with Matthew, they took the initiative to walk away, and Sean Daniel then went elsewhere.
Matthew just relaxed a little when Helen Herman in a black dress came over.
"What are you talking about?" She was wearing high heels, almost as tall as Matthew.
"Uh..." Matthew didn't answer, but looked at Helen Herman up and down. Strictly speaking, this was the first time he saw Helen Herman wearing something other than a business suit, "You today Beautiful night."
This is pure compliment, Helen Herman said casually, "Thank you."
Matthew pointed to her black-rimmed flat glasses. "These glasses ruin your look."
He took Helen Herman's advice, hired a stylist who had done his styling a few times in recent times, and took the time to learn a little bit about fashion styling, which of course was too short a time, and his knowledge was still very limited.
"No way." Helen Herman said lightly, "I am astigmatism."
Although she didn't treat Matthew like she was squeezing toothpaste as she did at first, it was only limited to her work.
Matthew saw Helen Herman pull out this extremely powerful reason again, and stopped entangled in this topic, saying, "Universal Pictures seems to intend to make it into a series, and they asked me about the sequel."
Helen Herman asked, "You didn't promise to stay on the series, did you?"
"No." Matthew pointed to his head, "I remember what you said."
"The reputation of this film is not ideal." Helen Herman looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and said directly, "If there is another film, the audience will not buy it like this."
Matthew immediately understood what she meant,
"This series has no future?"
Helen Herman lowered her voice slightly, "Unless there is a reliable script and director, otherwise..." She shook her head, "The risk is too great, if Universal Pictures upgrades this series to a first-tier production, it can still be considered, Otherwise, risk and reward are completely disproportionate.”
For such a film with a poor reputation, the possibility of being upgraded to a first-line production is very small.
"We don't have to think about this for the time being..." Helen Herman whispered again, "It won't be too late to see Universal Pictures make a decision on the follow-up plans for this series. Now the initiative rests with us..."
There was nothing to say about this, she immediately put on a smiling face and said to the person who was walking on the other side, "Stephen, long time no see."
Matthew turned his head to look, and Stephen Sommers came over and greeted him with a smile.
Stephen Sommers stood across from Matthew and said, "Matthew, you played a very important role in being able to make a big sale this time." He laughed, "I told Universal Pictures, You are a good actor, and you did not disappoint me."
"Thank you, Stephen." Matthew said sincerely.
Without the efforts and recommendations of Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers, this film would not have been possible, and there would not have been his male lead.
"Keep working hard, Matthew." Stephen Sommers is completely different from the beginning, and now admires Matthew, "I'm optimistic about your future."
The two chatted for a few seconds, and Helen Herman interjected, and she didn't seem to give up completely.
On this occasion, Matthew couldn't say anything. He simply looked around. There were a lot of people and stars at the celebration party today. For example, he saw Orlando Bloom just walked into the banquet hall.
"What is he here for?" Matthew's head turned quickly, "Did he come to congratulate me?"
As far as he knows, Orlando Bloom has basically had no interaction with Universal before.
"I saw a friend," Matthew told Helen Herman and Stephen Sommers. "Go over and say hi."
Seeing the two nodding, Matthew walked towards the door of the banquet hall. Orlando Bloom stood there, looking for someone with hope.
Matthew was near him quickly, "Hey, Orlando!"
Orlando Bloom was looking to the left, and when he heard someone calling him, he immediately turned his head and saw Matthew, with a smile on his face, "Hi, Matthew."
"Why are you here?" Matthew asked.
"Ah..." Orlando Bloom responded very quickly, and quickly said with a smile, "The movie you starred in sold well at the box office, and I always have to come over to congratulate you."
He opened his arms and hugged Matthew gently, "How does it feel to be a leading actor at the $100 million box office?"
When the two separated, Matthew didn't hide his good mood, "It's so cool!"
His family knows his own affairs, and since the film's first week of box office release, he has been in a good mood.
"Let's find a place to chat?" Matthew suggested.
Orlando Bloom has seen Stephen Sommers, and seeing someone beside him, it was not appropriate in the past, and immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay."
He came not to congratulate Matthew, but to congratulate Stephen Sommers.
Orlando Bloom followed Matthew to an empty table and sat down, Matthew continued to be excited and said, "You have experienced this feeling, I don't know how to describe it, as if you go anywhere. is the focus."
"Yeah." Orlando Bloom nodded, "After the release, I'll be similar to you."
Matthew glanced at him. In fact, he was dragging Orlando Bloom. He didn't have to discuss how famous it was. He mainly wanted to ask how far Orlando Bloom's work in winning Van Helsing was.
This kind of words cannot be asked directly, and can only be tempted by rambling.
Talking about how cool it was after becoming famous, Matthew suddenly put on a mysterious tone, "Remember the big project I mentioned to you? Now that the box office is booming, I have asked my agent to fight for this role. ."
"Really?" Orlando Bloom looked calm. "This project..."
He and his agent have done a lot of work in the past month or so, and they have moved Stephen Sommers and the executives of Universal Pictures. Especially now that the global box office has exceeded 800 million US dollars, Legolas has been well received. Let him have sufficient capital.
Not long ago, he participated in an internal audition hosted by Stephen Sommers and the executives of Universal Pictures, and he was basically certain to play the role of Van Helsing. The agent has already started negotiations with the crew.
As long as there are no major surprises, at most in early June, he will sign a formal actor contract with the crew and start preparing for the monster hunter role.
By then, the crew will definitely be out in the open, and Matthew Horner will naturally know.
What would Matthew Horner think? He must have thought that he used the information he revealed to grab the role, thus...
If it's just like this, Orlando Bloom doesn't care. There are too many things in Hollywood to compete for roles. For example, he first auditioned for the crew, and the role of the audition was Aragorn. Later, due to various circumstances, he got the Legolas.
What he is concerned about is the relationship between Matthew Horner and Stephen Sommers. Recently, he has had a lot of contact with Stephen Sommers. Stephen Sommers has expressed his appreciation for Matthew many times. If The role of Van Helsing would never fall on him unless The Economics also started work from Universal.
If Matthew becomes angry and uses his relationship with Stephen Sommers to make some bad ideas behind his back, it is estimated that there will be a lot of trouble.
It's not that there is no such possibility. If they get along with each other, he will definitely not make each other comfortable.
Orlando Bloom is thinking a lot. It's late May, and the crew will soon release the starring information. How to eliminate the hidden danger of Matthew?
At this time, seeing Orlando Bloom's sudden hesitation, Matthew deliberately said in a joking tone, "Orlando, aren't you also interested in this project?" rw
