Chapter 138 The protagonist and supporting roles

"Mr. Fraser, in this video, you are obviously fatter than the first one."

In the news hall, a reporter asked Brandon Fraser sharply, "Did you not prepare specifically for the video?"

Brandon Fraser frowned slightly, but this level of problem could not help him. He said with a relaxed expression, "Eight years later than the previous one, O'Connor has entered middle-aged life from his prime. Isn't it normal for middle-aged men to gain a little weight?"

After the answer was finished, Brandon Fraser waited for the reporter to continue asking questions.

Unexpectedly, the next reporter who stood up neither asked him the male lead nor the female lead Rachel Weizi, but instead chose to ask Matthew Horner, who was sitting on the edge of the horizontal row.

"Hello, Mr. Horner, I'm a reporter from Entertainment Weekly."

"Entertainment Weekly" is a North American ace entertainment magazine published by Time Warner and focuses on the field of film and television entertainment. "You have such a good figure in the film, and an action scene is also impressive. Have you made a lot of preparations for this?"

Some staff members had already put the microphone in front of Matthew. Matthew sat upright and replied loudly, "For this role, I received a lot of professional training. I have been doing fitness since I was preparing for the audition. Later, I also conducted two months of boxing and close combat training."

He looked at the reporter below, "But it's all worth it, and I'm proud to be able to play such a role."

It seems that the character of Scorpion King is really attracting the attention of media reporters, and another reporter stood up and asked, "We have all seen that action scene. Did you use a stand-in?"

Matthew said the truth, "No, I did it all myself. I just said that I received a lot of professional training."

Several reporters asked questions later, and he received no less attention than the male and female protagonists.

The reporters were all guys with a very sensitive sense of smell and immediately noticed this. They were afraid that the world would be in chaos. A female reporter stood up and asked, "Matthew Horner, you have put in such a huge effort to play a small supporting role. Brandon Fraser has a fat figure, but he can play the leading role. Do you think it's fair?"

As soon as this problem arose, the audience was silent. Matthew did not speak immediately. He dealt with media reporters more and more times. He also gained some experience and knew that he had encountered a very tricky problem.

If you say unfair words, Brandon Fraser may have a lot of opinions; if you say fair words, it is also an admission that Brandon Fraser is not as good as himself in his health.

Brandon Fraser seems carefree, heroic and refreshing. He thought so before, but through observations when walking the red carpet, this should be just a manifestation.

It's normal for Hollywood stars to have two faces. Not to mention famous stars like Brandon Fraser, isn't it even like a young actor like him?

Matthew knew very well that if he didn't answer well, his relationship with Brandon Fraser might take a sharp turn for the worse.

It is not okay to not answer. These media reporters may use words like default and point out that there are conflicts within the crew.

Rachel Weisz turned to look at Matthew. Matthew's character seemed more attractive in the film than when filmed on the set. It was not surprising that so many reporters focused the problem on him.

She was just curious about how Matthew answered, and had no other thoughts. Matthew is a male actor and cannot steal the limelight from the heroine, and no one will compare the heroine with him.

It's just that Brandon Fraser is a little embarrassed...

Rachel Weizi's eyes turned from the corner of her eyes to Brandon Fraser's face. The two of them had worked together in two films, which was familiar. She could see that the reporter compared him to Matthew, and Brandon Fraser was a little unhappy.

The press officer is also watching Matthew. If the actor is not easy to answer for such a difficult problem, he will definitely find a way to solve it.

Sean Daniel and Stephen Somos also looked at Matthew. The actor gave them a very good impression, hardworking, motivated, humble, smart, and had a high emotional intelligence. The work done during the filming was excellent, so the crew didn't have to worry about it at all.

This problem should not be difficult for him.

Brandon Fraser's face didn't change much, but his eyes frequently looked at Matthew, and he felt that these reporters were crazy. Why should a small supporting actor compare with him, the male lead?

Faced with this tricky problem, Matthew paused for a few seconds before speaking, "Brendan is a very amazing actor, and it is a blessing for a new actor like me to be able to work with him."

His first words clearly showed the gap between him and Brandon Fraser, and then said, "In the crew, Brandon takes care of me like a big brother."

Brandon Fraser likes the feeling of being the boss, so he publicly admits that he is the boss.

Matthew didn't want to have conflicts with people because of the media, and continued, "He is my model of learning and my goal of hard work."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the crew breathed a sigh of relief.

Rachel Vizi, who was closest to Matthew, quietly raised a thumb to Matthew under the table; Sean Daniel and Stephen Somos looked at each other, and both felt that the person chosen for the role of Scorpion King was the most suitable one. Stephen Somos even began to consider another plan of his own.

Brandon Fraser nodded slightly, and his self-esteem that he liked to be the boss was satisfied.

The only disappointment was the reporter who asked the question. He did not expect that this young actor was so smart and witty, and he was not provoked at all.

After the press conference, Matthew followed the crew and walked into the lounge behind the news hall.

"It's right." Sean Daniel did not hide his appreciation. "Matthew, you have maturity beyond age."

Matthew noticed Brandon Fraser looking here and said with a smile, "I'm just telling the truth. Brandon has indeed given me a lot of help."

Sean Daniel also saw Brandon Fraser paying attention here, and instantly felt that Matthew's EQ was really high.

Many young actors in Hollywood feel that they are very great if they make a little achievements. They don’t take anyone seriously. Not to mention colleagues in the same crew, if the thing below is long enough, they dare to be arrogant and arrogant...

Compared to these people, this Matthew Horner is really popular.

Director Stephen Somos also nodded to Matthew.

The press officer was even more blunt, "I was worried just now. As soon as you finished answering, I felt relieved and asked me to draw up the answer in advance, which was similar to what you said."

Matthew just smiled, kind and modestly.

Seeing many people talking around Matthew, Brandon Fraser felt a little uncomfortable, after all, he was the male lead in the crew.

"The media likes to chase new people and fresh faces." Rachel Weizi whispered in a low voice, "I'll get bored after a while. No matter what they say or do, they can't change the fact that you are the leading actor."

Brandon Fraser still looked carefree and generous, and said to Rachel Weiss with a smile, "You're thinking too much, I think Matthew is very good."

This is unclear. Rachel Weizi could only shake her head secretly, but she didn't say anything. "The Return of the Mummy" has been released and the crew will not exist for a long time.

After the press conference, the premiere of "The Return of the Mummy" ended. Matthew took out his cell phone and took a look. He did not have a phone call or text message and was about to leave the Chiefstone Theater and go home. It was getting late.

"Matthew!" the press officer came over and reminded, "remember the event in Las Vegas next Monday, don't be late."

"I remember." Matthew pointed to his forehead, "It must be on time."

The film has just held a grand premiere and will be released in North America on a large scale. Starting next Monday, including him, Rachel Weisz and Brandon Fraser, they will work together in major cities across the United States to build momentum for "The Return of the Mummy".

Matthew walked towards the side door of Chiefs Stone Theater and found Brandon Fraser right in front of him, speeding up his pace.

"Hi, Brandon." He still looked like he had the premiere, "I have time to have a drink together."

Brandon Fraser slowed down, "Forget it, let's talk about it later."

The two walked out of the theater together, and two black cars parked one by one on the side of the road. Before they could get closer, a large number of reporters surrounded them.

These reporters began to ask questions in a variety of ways. Matthew and the other went to their respective cars. For some reason, the reporters around him were twice as many as Brandon Fraser, and most of them looked familiar, as if they were reporters who had participated in the press conference.

"Matthew Horner, are you all true in the press conference? The news we got from the crew that you are on time every day, Brandon Fraser likes to be late, isn't that true?"

These gossip reporters seem to never give up until they find the crew’s news.

Matthew also guessed why more reporters surrounded him. Compared to old actors like Brandon Fraser, a newcomer like him is better to deal with.

But he didn't say a word, just moved to the car little by little.

"Matthew! Matthew!"

A reporter shouted, "Don't you think that fat man Brandon Fraser's performance in the film is terrible and funny? I watched the entire film, and the male protagonist did not leave me any impression. Instead, you played the Scorpion King, which is very outstanding. How do you think of this?"

Matthew ignored it at all, rushed out of the reporter's siege, and got into the car.

On the other side, Brandon Fraser heard the question clearly and immediately frowned.
