Best Movie Star

"I don't know what Universal Pictures thinks..." Arnold Vosloo said to Rachel Weisz while looking at the hall. "Brandon seems to have a problem with Matthew."

Rachel Weisz shrugged, "It's not that there is an opinion, it's already a contradiction. It's obvious that the Scorpion King has a good response from fans and the media, which has affected Brandon."

Arnold Vosloo asked tentatively, "Would you like us to mediate? The Matthews are not bad."

"People are not bad?" Rachel Weisz laughed suddenly, "Arnold, a person who can almost make the whole crew say that he is good, will be a simple person?"

Arnold Vosloo immediately thought that when filming at Pinewood Studios, most of the crew thought Matthew Horner was a good actor, and even Stephen Sommers, who had a prejudice against him at the beginning, changed his mind. .

Rachel Weisz shook her head, "Brandon is very famous, but it's a pity..."

Instead of continuing, she said, "I won't go. This series has little to do with me. If they make trouble, what should they do with me?"

Hearing this, Arnold Vosloo was speechless, thinking that when Matthew left London last year, they had a drink together to say goodbye...

But he's not new either, knowing that it was because there wasn't any conflict of interest at the time, and now, Matthew stole the limelight that originally belonged to Brandon Fraser, and possibly the lead actor in the next movie, Bran It's no wonder that someone like Den Fraser would give him a good face.

Rachel Weisz packed her things and said, "I'll go first."

She has no shortage of work, no water in her head, and she doesn't want to be involved in this kind of **** that doesn't get any benefits.

Although Matthew Horner is indeed a good person and can make people happy, she also reminded him at the premiere.

He is very charismatic, but unfortunately, his reputation is too small, and he has no power. He belongs to the kind of person who is helpless in the circle, and will not help his future very much. Otherwise, it would be good to seduce him and have **** for a while.

Matthew was the last to leave the Luxor Hotel. He got into the car and rubbed his face with his hands. After the event, his face froze with laughter.

From the very beginning to the end of the event, he followed what Helen Herman said, whether he was facing ordinary movie fans or being interviewed by media reporters, he showed his best side.

Now that the first weekend of "The Mummy Returns" is a big hit at the box office, Universal Pictures has become more vocal about promoting the third installment in the "Mummy" series. The brand has been established, and even without Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers, it is entirely possible to find new writers and directors to produce.

In the past weekend, "The Mummy Returns" earned more than $68 million at the box office in its first week, not only becoming the champion of the box office charts, but also creating the highest weekend box office results since 2001.

This series has already had a sequel. Under normal circumstances, Hollywood studios will definitely continue to launch sequels. Matthew's guess, if not for Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers, it is estimated that the new project of the Scorpion King is not at all. It's impossible to compete with the third installment of The Mummy.

After getting off the car and entering the hotel where he was staying, Matthew didn't go back to the room, but dialed Helen Herman's number and went to her floor. Helen Herman arrived here in the afternoon.

Knocking on Helen Herman's door, he poured himself a glass of water after he entered. From the beginning of the event to the present, he hadn't drank any water at all.

"Did it go well?" Helen Herman asked.

Matthew drank the whole glass of water before saying, "I'm fine here, but my smile is frozen." He looked in the living room of the suite and asked, "Where's Elena?"

Helen Herman sat on the sofa and said, "I let her go, the less she knows about the next thing, the better."

Matthew walked over to the sofa opposite her, "Tell me about your situation."

"I met with Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers this morning, and they were skeptical about the sequel to The Mummy." Helen Herman said without any nonsense, "and Stephen Sommers There is absolutely no draft for the next sequel."

"That means," Matthew understood what Helen Herman meant, "even if Universal decides to make a third film, Stephen Sommers doesn't know what to make?"

Helen Herman nodded, "That's about it." She paused, then added, "Universal's biggest misgivings about the Scorpion King spinoff come from you, especially the naysayers, they don't care about you. any confidence."

Matthew also knows this. If he is half as famous as Brandon Fraser, Universal Pictures will not conduct market research. I am afraid that the review and approval of the project have already begun.

Helen-Hellman continued, "At the moment, we are going in two steps! One is to reduce the advantage of our competitors, and the other is to increase the weight in our hands."

Knowing that Helen Herman was more professional than himself, Matthew said, "Do you have a plan?"

"Number one, we're targeting Brandon Frazier. Helen Herman is clearly doing enough." His agent is currently lobbying at the top of Universal, Brandon Fraser. Ze side is the most positive about the sequel to The Mummy, and he is still the male lead. If there is something wrong with Brandon Frazier and becomes the object of many people's disgust, Universal Pictures will definitely be cautious."

"The strength of our competitors has dropped." Matthew nodded, "Our chances of winning will increase!"

He thought for a moment, "Brandon Frazier, leave it to me to deal with it."

Helen Herman didn't object, but warned, "Don't start a conflict, don't leave a handle." She saw Matthew nodded, and then said, "Irina Boyar will cooperate with us and be on the Internet. Continue to report bad news about Brandon Frazier."

Having said that, she reminded Matthew, "These are not free."

"Yeah." Matthew knew the rules of the game, "You ask Elena Boyar to quote a price, don't go too far, I'm poor."

In fact, he knew that Yelena Boyar started to act before he officially charged, and it was probably because both parties were very familiar with it.

"What about the second aspect?" Matthew asked.

He didn't ask, but Helen Herman was also ready to say, "I'm going to build momentum for the Scorpion King! The film was released for a weekend, and the Scorpion King received a very good response, even the audience's evaluation was second only to Rachel Weisz's Eve. Lynn, on top of Brandon Fraser's O'Connor, but that's not enough!"

She emphasized her tone, "We need the Scorpion King to have more influence! Get a good reputation from more audiences! At the same time, let you open up a certain popularity! To be precise, we need to give Universal Pictures confidence and make them feel like Scorpion. Wang's spin-off films have a large number of potential supporters, and they will be profitable in the future!"

Matthew listened and thought hard.

"Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers have made it clear to me that the first draft of the script for the Scorpion King spinoff has been completed, and they will try their best to get the support of Universal Pictures!" Helen Herman also knew that the opportunity was rare, "so , we need to operate too!"

She looked at Matthew, "It's going to cost a lot of money, maybe more than $200,000."

"So much..." The muscles on Matthew's face trembled involuntarily, "Is it too much?"

Knowing what Matthew's doing in this regard, Helen Herman explained, "I need to contact the press and buy PR articles to get you and the Scorpion King in the media! Your North American announcements with the crew have just begun, and what's next? If you go to many cities, every time you go to a city, do you want a large number of movie fans to pick up the plane with posters of The Scorpion King? Do you want to be surrounded by many movie fans at your hotel waiting for autographs? Do you want local media to report on "The Mummy Returns"? Focus on you? These all need to be hired through reliable agencies!"

Matthew was silent, as if $200,000 was indeed not a lot, maybe not enough.

"These are all likely to form a herd effect!" Helen Herman explained simply, "It makes people feel that the Scorpion King has a good response~www.readwn.com~ You are also very popular as an actor and can attract more people. And the media pays attention to you and the Scorpion King! It will also bring confidence to Universal Pictures."

"Okay!" Matthew went out of his way. Although $200,000 is a huge sum of money, it has not yet reached the point where he was exhausted. "I'll go back and transfer $100,000 to the company's account."

Helen Herman nodded, looked at Matthew, and said, "This is a rare opportunity for you and for me! Your most advantageous action and warrior type, the film can also use "The Mummy" With the advantage of being a hit with The Mummy Returns, the risk of failure is exponentially lower, and producer Sean Daniel and director Stephen Sommers still appreciate you...I couldn't find a better opportunity than now!"

"Don't worry." Matthew said equally seriously, "I will try my best."

He knows that as long as he takes this step, he can become the male lead, and if the film takes another step to success in the future, he will at least be able to enter the ranks of small stars from an ordinary actor.

Hollywood star, this is his goal of joining the film and television industry!

Helen Herman then asked for a late-night snack, and discussed some details with Matthew while eating. The two also reached a consensus to reduce the strength of their competitors. It was mainly up to Matthew to grasp the timing. The more professional Helen Herman was in charge, and Matthew cooperated fully with him.

In addition, it is necessary to give part of the budget to Irina Boyar, and the two sides are familiar with each other, but it is impossible for Irina Boyar to be a free labor.

At the same time, the two have to keep in touch with Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers to keep abreast of the latest developments on their side.

Staying in Helen Herman's suite until midnight before Matthew left to return to his room, a long promotional tour awaited him.

Also, waiting for Brandon Frazier.
