Chapter 146 Winning

Please vote for recommendation!

After getting off the taxi, Matthew dragged his luggage to the front door and looked back. There was no one behind him. When he came out of Los Angeles International Airport, he vaguely found paparazzi following him. The taxi was on Interstate 5. He also saw two motorcycle riders following him, but later he didn't know where he went.

It is estimated that the target of tracking is limited, so I automatically gave up. After all, this is Los Angeles, where actors gathered with stars and paparazzi throwing stones may be more famous than him.

I opened the door and entered the courtyard. I had no one to live in for more than ten days. It was covered with leaves, the lawn was a little unformed, and there was a lot of dust inside the house. Matthew took out his phone and wanted to ask the housekeeping company to send someone over. Then he remembered the little cash left in his account, so he endured it.

The media and institutions Helen Hermann contacted cannot provide free services to achieve the current results. On the one hand, Matthew's role as Scorpion King is indeed attracting attention, and is one of the biggest highlights of the entire film, and on the other hand, it is the investment of large amounts of funds.

In just over a dozen days, plus the media reporters Ilena Boyal helped contact, the total cost was nearly $200,000.

Not long ago, he felt that he would no longer have to worry about basic living expenses in the future, and now he is back before the liberation.

"The landlord's family has no surplus food."

Matthew said, quickly packed up his room, sorted his luggage, looked at the time, and dialed Britney's number. No one answered it there. Just when he was about to give up, the phone was answered.

"Hi, Matthew." Britney's voice came, "Have you arrived in Los Angeles?"

Sitting on the sofa, Matthew said, "Yes, I just entered the house."

Britney seemed in a good mood, "Tell you good news, my second album has been recorded."

Matthew stood up and was in a good mood, "Dear, are you going to come back from Nashville?"

"I guessed it right!" Britney's laughter came over, "but there is no reward! But it will take a while to wait. It is still not decided when I will go back."

"It's okay," Matthew said again, "I can make sure things here. I'll go to Nashville to see you."

The two of them got tired of the phone for a while. Matthew hung up, thinking about whether to call Helen Hermann. Helen Hermann was returning to Los Angeles on the same plane with him. It was probably just now that he had arrived home.

I changed my clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Seeing that it was getting late, Matthew ordered takeout for dinner and prepared to rest early after dinner. In the past ten days, I have been flying around in North America. On average, I have changed cities in two days. I basically repeat the life from the airport to the hotel and then to the event site, and I am really tired.

After lying down, I couldn't sleep for a while.

Matthew couldn't help but recall what happened in the past ten days, especially Brandon Fraser, who was undoubtedly designed by him.

Along the way, although Brandon Fraser was a little annoyed, he basically didn't cause trouble for him directly. However, he and Helen Hermann still stimulated him step by step, and eventually made the accumulated anger overpower his rationality.

Brandon Fraser and his agent want to promote the third installment of the Mummy series as soon as possible, and a small number of people in Universal Pictures support him, creating obstacles for the Scorpion King spin-off movies that Sean Daniel and Stephen Somos want to promote...

Helen Hermann has had contact with these two people, and he must be the protagonist of the Scorpion King spin-off movie.

To be precise, there is no personal conflict between him and Brandon Fraser, but in this fiercely competitive circle, especially in the face of such a two-choice opportunity, if you want to get ahead, you have to step on your competitors.

It has been more than two years since he entered the industry, and Matthew has also gained an intuitive understanding of Hollywood. Almost all Hollywood stars climbed up on the shoulders of competitors.

Could it be that he ran over and pulled Brandon Fraser and said you gave up the opportunity to enter the 20 million dollar club. If you give up, Universal Pictures will not hesitate about the Scorpion King project...

I don’t know what the market research conducted by Universal Pictures was, based on the situation during the promotion in New York, it should be a big deal.

Matthew slept very well this time. After getting up early the next morning, he was full of energy. He went out for a walk, then drove to North Hollywood to buy a bunch of daily necessities, and found a place to have breakfast. After returning, he started to clean the yard. The lawn in the yard looked tall and generous, which was quite troublesome to take care of.

In the afternoon, Matthew called Helen Herman. Helen Herman had just met Stephen Somos and Sean Daniel. Their ideas did not change at all. They continued to promote the Scorpion King spin-off movie. Matthew still starred in the Scorpion King.

Moreover, Universal Pictures is quite dissatisfied with Brandon Fraser, believing that after a direct conflict with the fans, the risk of using him as the leading actor in a big production in a short period of time will increase exponentially.

However, Universal Pictures has not made the final decision yet, and Matthew and the others have to wait patiently.

He still has this patience, so Matthew then went to the fitness club in Ximu District to continue his training.

"Oh, the big star is here."

As soon as he entered the boxing gym, he heard Nieborah joking, "Matthew, how does it feel to become famous?"

Matthew walked to the warm-up area and was about to do a warm-up first. At the same time, he said, "I didn't feel anything." He spread his hands and joked, "I walked from the parking lot to the club. I met many people, but none of them asked me to sign."

A staff member was helping Matthew prepare boxing gloves and said, "I guess there are too many stars in Los Angeles, and everyone is used to it."

Everyone around laughed. Westwood District is close to Beverly Hills, and Hollywood stars can often be seen.

Another staff member said at this time, "Matthew, I watched "The Return of the Mummy", your role is great!"

"Thanks."

Matthew gives people the feeling that it has not changed from the past. After warming up, he put on boxing gloves and followed Niebola to do physical coordination training first. Unlike professional contestants, he is a famous actor after all, and Niebola focuses on training his physical coordination.

From the initial warm-up to the later professional training, Matthew was very serious. He was preparing for the next movie. Sean Daniel and Stephen Somos had long revealed to Helen Herman that the Scorpion King spin-off movie will have a brand new story. The time is set in the ancient Egyptian period. It is a fantasy action movie, which will have a large number of action scenes, especially the Scorpion King as the protagonist.

Now, the possibility of project launching a Scorpion King Derivative movie has increased infinitely, and he also needs to start preparing for this film.

To make action scenes with excellent results, you need more than just special effects.

Universal Studios, in the office area of ​​Universal Studios, Philip Clayston, director of Universal Studios' production department, just finished listening to the report of assistant Andy.

"The person who took action was Brandon Fraser, and the fans were quite restrained." Andy said at the end, "Although the fans gave up their plans to go through legal procedures under the persuasion of the crew, they accepted media interviews and Brandon Fraser..."

Philip Clayston shook his head, "Don't worry about him, we won't cooperate with him again for the time being."

Not to mention anything else, just from the perspective of risk control, you should be cautious when working with Brandon Fraser in a short period of time.

Andy said a few more words, and Philip Cleeston nodded, "I understand, you go out first."

Seeing that the boss had nothing else to do, Andy turned around and left. When he left the office, he happened to see Jet Breton, the deputy director of the production department, coming over.

"Is Philip there?" Jet Breton held a document in his hand.

Andy smiled politely and replied, "In the office."

Jet Breton nodded at Andy, turned around and went into the office, greeted Philip Clayston, sat on a chair across from his desk, and placed the documents in front of Philip Clayston.

"This is a summary of the survey statistics of the Marketing Department over the past ten days..." Jet Breton said as concisely as possible. "Among the more than 110,000 respondents in North America, all the characters in the film "The Return of the Mummy" are Evelyn, played by Rachel Weisz, the most popular character, followed by the Scorpion King played by Matthew Horner."

He also made a job and said no secretly, "My original judgment was wrong. Among these respondents, when asked whether the Scorpion King would watch the movie, 30% of them had the intention to watch it."

Such data is already very good, especially for the supporting roles of a film.

Once, he talked about this movie with his sixteen-year-old son at home. Unexpectedly, his son also liked the Scorpion King very much. When asked why, his son's answer was very simple. The Scorpion King was handsome, cool and strong enough, especially like a man, like the man full of masculine charm he dreamed of!

As a professional, he knows very well that Hollywood does not lack handsome guys, but not every handsome guy can be accepted by the audience in the camera. A handsome guy with a beautiful, body and temperament who can be accepted by a wider audience often has a great promoting effect on the commercial value of an entertainment movie.

"Also," said Jeter Breton, "In our survey conducted by our media and Internet portals, the Scorpion King is also second only to Evelyn's popularity."

Philip Cleeston opened the document and read it. It involved a brand new film project, and he watched it very carefully.

Jeter Breton's words are not over yet, "Also, the media's evaluation of Scorpion King is positive, which is also conducive to the promotion of future films."

"Yeah." Philip Cleeston looked away from the information, "Shawn looked for me in the morning, and Stephen Somos has completed the script."

Jet Breton didn't speak, he had already made his attitude.
Chapter completed!
