Hundreds of reporters gathered in Century City, Fox Tower News Room, and the press conference of 20th Century Fox's new film project was being held. X23US. COM updates fastest

Although it is not a first-line super production, and there are no top actors and directors, the press conference is still attracting attention, because the upcoming project will once again bring together two of Hollywood's most famous movie monsters, Alien and Predator!

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

Needless to say, the names of Alien and Predator are undeniable, and there is no doubt about their influence.

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 reporter saw the crew PR behind Francis Lawrence make a gesture and immediately raised his hand to ask the question, and the host of the press conference called him just right.

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 "I Am Legend" crew, why did you withdraw from that project? ?"

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

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

Francis Lawrence continued, "The more I know, the less interested I am in the project 'I Am Legend', it can't impress me at all, especially for such a film that is almost a one-man show. With such an actor who is better in action than acting as the male lead, I can't imagine what it will look like after the filming is completed."

Hearing the name of Matthew Horner, the press room was instantly fried, as if all the news announced before the press conference was more attractive than Francis Lawrence's words against Matthew Horner.

Behind Francis Lawrence, the person in charge of public relations and publicity from the crew inadvertently revealed a smile, which is what the crew wanted.

Aliens and Predators are indeed two of the most famous monsters made by Hollywood movies.

But the era of their popularity is too far away from now, so far that today's young people pay little attention, so far that the two together are not more attractive than a Matthew Horner.

Due to the withdrawal of Paul Anderson, the director of "Alien vs. Predator", the sequel had to re-select the director. The reason why 20th Century Fox chose Francis Lawrence from the crowd was that he had directed films with similar dark themes, and secondly It is a strong recommendation from the famous director Spike Lee, and finally his departure from the "I Am Legend" crew and the potential conflict with Matthew Horner can become a topic of hype that vigorously promotes "Alien vs. Predator 2".

It was clear that Francis Lawrence was targeting Matthew Horner as if he had detonated a bomb among reporters.

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

Of course, some things have to be done in moderation. After all, what the crew wanted was a propaganda project to let the audience temporarily remember that "Alien vs. Predator 2" started filming, rather than completely offending Matthew Horner.

According to the established strategy, Francis Lawrence finally said, "Due to concerns about the film itself and the hero, I voluntarily declined the directorship of "I Am Legend"."

Having said that, he closed his mouth, and the host also just rightly announced that the press conference was over.

Hundreds of reporters talked a lot. After leaving the press room, they did not leave. They gathered in front of the Fox Building, trying to dig more news 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 this is far more attractive to readers and netizens than normal reporting on a movie project, and Francis Lawrence The meaning of the words is obvious, he should have had a conflict with Matthew Horner on the "I Am Legend" crew.

A black car came and stopped in front of the Fox Building. Under the escort of several security personnel, Francis Lawrence lowered his head and got into the car, ignoring the reporter's questions and the constantly flashing spotlights.

"Don't answer casual questions about Matthew Horner after today."

The crew's PR and publicity chief was in the car, and he told Francis Lawrence, "This is just the beginning of the publicity, and the most important part is to stay before the film is released."

Francis Lawrence nodded lightly, "I understand."

Because of Matthew Horner, he lost the director of "I Am Legend", and now borrows Matthew Horner's name to hype and promote himself and the new film he directed, without any psychological burden.

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

Francis Lawrence couldn't help turning his head to look at the people around him. The producer in charge of publicity and public relations had said before that it would be ideal if Matthew Horner responded.

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

"Need a response?"

Inside the office, Bella Anderson told Matthew about the situation and asked, "This topic is very hot on the Internet."

Among the assistant team she is currently in charge of, there is a special person who is responsible for watching the news and developments about Matthew on the Internet and traditional media.

Ma Jiu was watching the video of the press conference on Youtu Turtle when he raised his head and asked, "What do you think?"

Bella Anderson didn't think about it, and said directly, "I don't think we should respond for the time being. From the current situation analysis, 20th Century Fox and Francis Lawrence are obviously borrowing your fame and popularity for hype. If we respond, not only will it fail to work. effect, which may allow them to further heat the topic.”

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

He has a very good mentality and is very self-aware, and he can't help laughing when he talks about it.

Bella Anderson added, "Twentieth Century Fox seems to be deliberately controlling the direction of the hype. What Francis Lawrence said was not too obviously offensive, and the remarks against you are not excessive."

Matthew spread his hands and said, "Maybe 20th Century Fox will cooperate with me sometime. This kind of hype is also used in the circle, and it will keep enough bottom line."

Bella Anderson nodded lightly, "We don't have to fight with Twentieth Century Fox and Francis Lawrence, that's what they want to see."

"Yeah." Matthew responded and said, "We will keep an eye on this for the time being. If Francis Lawrence has any excessive remarks, remember to notify Helen and I in time."

"OK."

Bella Anderson looked at Matthew and asked, "This floor, the company next to us has gone bankrupt, and now the studio is growing, do you want to rent it?"

Matthew raised his head and glanced across the office. In addition to him and Bella Anderson, there were five other people in the office.

Now he is firmly in the ranks of Hollywood's A-list stars. Although he is still a long way from being a superstar, he has also squeezed into the $20 million club. He doesn't have to be as frugal as renting an office.

And as a boss, it's a bit awkward to be squeezed into the same office with all the employees.

"Let's rent it." Matthew made a quick decision, "Remember to prepare a separate office for me."

He patted the monitor on his desk and said, "Also, change a computer, this computer is a bit old."

"Well." Bella Anderson wrote it down in the work log.

Matthew remembered one more thing, "There are several encrypted videos on this computer. You copy them out and keep them for me."

Bella Anderson glanced at Matthew secretly, thinking that it wouldn't be a video with Britney... No, Matthew had already broken up with Britney when he rented this office, could it be something else actress?

Although her head was full of thoughts, she didn't show it. As a personal assistant, sometimes eyes and ears must be decorations.

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

However, he has countless fans in North America. Of course, these fans will not let Francis Lawrence easily, and even some neutral fans can't see it. Together with Matthew's fans, they crowded into Francis Lawrence's personal blog and wrote A message like a knife.

"Fortunately you refused, otherwise Matthew's new film would be in danger."

"It's really bragging that you don't have to pay taxes. People who don't know think you're such a good director."

"Who wouldn't brag? When Fox asked me to shoot the Titanic for them, I thought the romance film was too boring and didn't want to go. I told them that Cameron was a good guy, and I was optimistic about him!"

"So many companies in the San Fernando Valley, and Stormy Daniels, Nikki Anderson, Cayden Cross, Jessica Drake, Julia Ann, Sylvia St. I was invited to film with Jenna James and others, but I thought they were not good at acting, so I refused."
