"Hollywood's New $20 Million Club Member - Matthew Horner!"

In an ice cream shop in the Westwood District, Daenerys put down the Los Angeles Times and said to Brian Lister opposite, "Matthew can now get a salary of $20 million!"

Brian Liszt stopped the ice cream he put in his mouth and said, "The Three Hundred Spartans?"

Daenerys shook her head, "It's not "The Three Hundred Spartans," it's a movie called "I Am Legend."

After she finished speaking, she handed over the newspaper, and Brian Liszt read it carefully.

"According to the reliable information obtained by this reporter from Warner Bros., the crew of "I Am Legend", which Warner Bros. is about to invest in, has signed a formal actor contract with Matthew Horner. After 300 Warriors, Warner Bros. paid a whopping $20 million for the second collaboration with Matthew Horner in a short period of time."

"Twenty million dollars!" Daenerys opened the ice cream in front of her, took a big bite, and muttered, "How much ice cream can I buy!"

Thinking of the $20 million figure made her dizzy.

Brian Lister was still reading the newspaper and said, "It is estimated that Matthew's income will be able to enter the Forbes celebrity list this year."

Although both are Matthew Horner fans, Brian is fundamentally different from Daenerys. With the assistance of Angels Agency and Bella Anderson, he has become a die-hard Matthew fan organization in the Los Angeles area. The leader often organizes members to come to the scene to cheer for Matthew.

Moreover, he is also one of the very few fans who can get paid.

With such a career, Brian was more attentive in running this fan union, and with the assistance of his father, he had carefully learned about some of the Hollywood stars.

In addition to its worth, the 20 million club is an affirmation of star status, appeal and comprehensive value.

Although this is not the top star class in Hollywood, it has also entered the top ranks.

Daenerys swallowed the ice cream in her mouth and asked, "Brian, it's only been a few years since we saw the first movie starring Matthew? He's in the twenty million club so quickly.

"

Brian recalled a little and said, "The first film in which Matthew became the real protagonist was "The Scorpion King". I remember it was released in 2002, only four years ago..."

Having said this, he couldn't help shaking his head, "This speed is really incredible."

"Yeah." Daenerys took another bite of the ice cream and muttered, "Tom Cruise back then was just like that."

Brian nodded and continued to read the newspaper, because in addition to the salary, other aspects were mentioned in the report.

"Warner Bros. seems to want to establish a long-term partnership with Matthew Horner, a box office star, in addition to offering him a high salary, it also agreed to let Matthew Horner play in the "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors". ” and “I Am Legend” as a producer with great power.”

Seeing this, Brian suddenly felt that Matthew really could become a superstar like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks.

Recently, under the guidance of his father, he also began to study Hollywood more deeply, knowing that the 20 million club represents the income level, not the Hollywood power list.

Hollywood's producer system is always a key link in the Hollywood value chain. Actors are always one level lower. Producers and senior marketing planners are the core energy for the operation of this gorgeous machine in Hollywood.

Therefore, there are countless star actors who want to sign their names in the producer column in the movies they star in.

A seemingly simple signature may bring about a completely different situation. If you can also serve as a producer, even if it is just a name, the actor will gain more power.

According to this "Los Angeles Times" report, it is not difficult to judge that Matthew has begun to step on this path.

The San Fernando Valley, like Burbank, is lined with numerous photo studios.

However, the studios here are rarely visited by Hollywood crews, and most of the time, they are used by local film companies in the San Fernando Valley.

In a studio set up as a simple home plaza, Cayden Cross, who has finished makeup, sat on a sofa chair on the set, opened today's "Los Angeles Times", and soon saw the entertainment section, see the entertainment section Matthew Horner's name was on the headline, and I couldn't help but read it carefully.

The film she filmed today is related to Matthew Horner, the title is "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and she plays the heroine Jane Smith.

Seeing the $20 million mentioned in the news headline, Cayden Cross couldn't help but envy for a while. She can also be regarded as a first-line actress in this industry, but when she can't work, she may not be able to earn it. $20 million.

Back then, she naively thought that the San Fernando Valley was a backdoor to Hollywood, but it wasn't until she joined the industry that she realized it wasn't at all.

"Hi Michael!"

"Michael, you are so handsome today!"

Hearing the sound of hello on the set, Cayden Cross looked away from the newspaper, turned his head and looked over, and actor Michael Sheehan, who played the leading actor John Smith, came over.

This is a very handsome guy with a great reputation in the circle.

Michael Sheehan was in high spirits, striding across the set like the number one star of the entire crew, and now he does have that kind of capital.

The shooting of this "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" has allowed him to achieve a super high income of over $50,000 for a single film, and has already squeezed into the ranks of the first-line actors in the circle.

With the remuneration for this film, his total income this year has exceeded 200,000 US dollars in one fell swoop!

This is 200,000 US dollars. Looking at the entire set, the annual income can reach this figure, that is, the director and the heroine.

Michael Sheehan plans to change to a new car at the end of the year. He is optimistic about a luxury SUV from BMW, which must be very face-saving to drive.

"Hi, Kayden."

Michael Sheehan greeted Cayden Cross first, then sat on the sofa next to him. Cayden Cross nodded and responded with a smile, "Hi, Mike."

"What's the news?" Michael Sheehan pointed to the newspaper in Kayden Cross's hand and asked, "I just saw you read it seriously."

Cayden Cross shrugged slightly, "Hollywood has another member of the $20 million club."

"Oh?" Michael Sheehan, who had worked in Hollywood before, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is it?"

Cayden Cross pulled out the front page of the entertainment edition and handed it over, "See for yourself."

Michael Sheehan took it and saw a long-lost name — Matthew Horner — on the front page for the first time.

Seeing this familiar and unfamiliar name, he quickly glanced over the content of the report, his hands trembled slightly, and he was sure that this was the Matthew Horner he knew.

Even if the content of the report is wrong, it is impossible for him to admit that the person on the picture next to him is wrong.

A few years have passed, and Matthew Horner has been in the 20 million club? Michael Sheehan was skeptical, but he was holding the Los Angeles Times, not some gigantic tabloid.

He let out a long sigh. He was just overjoyed at the fact that his annual income was over US$200,000. How far is this US$200,000 from US$20 million?

Michael Sheehan knew very well that he would never catch up to Matthew Horner in his life.

Then, more news about Matthew Horner he had read came to his mind, and a wry smile appeared on his handsome face.

He earns $200,000 a year, and Matthew Horner earns $20 million a year! He wants to spend a lot of money to buy a BMW luxury SUV with a lot of face. The car Matthew Horner drives is a Mercedes-Benz free-sponsored and tailor-made Mercedes-Benz G-Class off-road vehicle...

Like the lead actor in "Mrs. and Mrs. Smith," Michael Sheehan often pays attention to information from the familiar and unfamiliar Matthew Horner.

Once, he also tried to do something, but no one believed the words of an actor in the San Fernando Valley. Those slightly serious media would not interview him at all, and several small media with no bottom line published his attacks. Matthew's remarks did not even raise a tiny wave.

As time went on, Michael Sheehan's mind became less and less, because he gradually realized that a person like him, who wanted to attack a star like Matthew Horner who had become popular, might Sex is too small.

The industry gave him the money he wanted, but it didn't give him the glossy shell he wanted.

On the other hand, Matthew Horner has not only gained fame and fortune, but also became a charity ambassador for the United Nations after "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" became a real figure in high society.

A scoundrel with no culture and quality has become a big celebrity!

At the beginning of this year, when a company asked him to play the actor John Smith of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", Michael Sheehan agreed without hesitation.

Because he knew very well that it was impossible for him to stop Matthew Horner. If it was only one or two levels away, he still had hope, but now the gap between the two is too great.

He's still standing on Earth, but Matthew Horner has landed on Mars.

After years of hard work in the San Fernando Valley, Michael Sheehan recognizes many social realities.

"The big star of the 20 million club!" Michael Sheehan returned the newspaper to Cayden Cross. "It would be great if it were us."

Cayden Cross shook her head, "Impossible." She stood up and walked towards the set. "The filming is about to begin."

Michael Sheehan also stood up, looked up at the crew's mockup of Mr. ) !!
