Chapter 177: Prosperous Beauty

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

Seeing Liv Taylor leaving with her unhappy face, Orlando Bloom entered the hotel and immediately called his agent Alan Kesian.

"Allen, it's me," he asked first, "has the work progressed?"

Orlando Bloom knew very well that if he wanted to go further, he needed continuous works. In addition to Legolas, he also needed other roles that could be shown.

Legolas is not the protagonist, nor does he carry the film independently.

The voice of the economic man came over, "The crew of "Darkward" rejected us, they have finalized Ben Affleck as the leading actor. Currently, the crew of "X-Men 2"..."

"X-Men 2?" Orlando Bloom said directly, "Didn't I say it? This crew doesn't need to consider it. I won't play a small supporting role with insignificant roles. Allen, I'm not the same as before, so I don't need to consider such a small role."

The agent there didn't say anything, Orlando Bloom said again, "I got a news that Universal Pictures and Stephen Somos are planning a super project, with an investment of more than $150 million. Absolutely the leading actor movie, have you heard of it?"

"No." The agent asked curiously, "Where did you get this news?"

Orlando Bloom did not answer, but said, "The source of information is very reliable. Can you check it out? See if there is any project, what kind of male lead is needed for the project? Is it suitable for me?"

"Universal Pictures? Stephen Somos?" the agent seemed to be thinking about it, and after a while, "Okay, I'll ask someone to ask now."

Putting away his phone, Orlando Bloom stood in front of the hotel's glass curtain wall, looking at his beauty, and suddenly laughed, smiling particularly brightly.

Who would have thought that he could get such news from Matthew Horner when he attended a party, but Stephen Somosken revealed such news to Matthew Horner, and he must have listed him as one of the candidates for the leading actors. He may have been stuck at Universal Pictures because of his fame and box office appeal.

Does Matthew Horner still have a chance? He doesn't know, nor does he want to know, but he only knows that this is a rare opportunity for him.

As for the little friendship with Matthew Horner, what does it count in front of such a character?

Orlando Bloom believes that if they get along with each other, Matthew Horner will be the same as himself.

When going to bed at night, Orlando Bloom dreamed that he became the absolute protagonist of a top Hollywood production, rather than a supporting role like Legolas. The film had a big box office and a reputation that was amazing, and then pushed him to the top of Hollywood and became a super A-level superstar like Tom Cruise!

Maybe he did too much dream, and the next day he did not get up in time until he was woken up by the agent's phone call.

"So early?" Orlando Bloom touched his phone and put it in his ear. "Who? Is there anything wrong?"

"It's me, Allen!" The agent's voice rang in the receiver. "Orlando, I've confirmed it with someone. Universal Pictures is indeed planning a super big production with Stephen Somos. The budget cost is not $150 million, but $160 million!"

"$160 million?" Orlando Bloom sat up directly, "Is there any other news? Continue!"

The agent said on the phone again, "Stephen Somos has completed the script. It is estimated that after "The Scorpion King" is released, Universal Pictures will officially announce that it is probably to find a way to promote "The Scorpion King".

"Where is the hero?" This is what Orlando Bloom cares about the most.

"It is said that I need a very cool and very young version of the male protagonist!" The agent went to inquire and learned a lot of things, "Orlando, I think this is very suitable for you!"

Orlando Bloom also thought so, "I think so too." He thought for a while and asked again, "Do they have a male lead?"

The agent replied directly, "Stephen Somos is somewhat fond of the actor who plays the Scorpion King in "The Return of the Mummy", the friend you met on the crew of "Black Hawk Down".

"Matthew Horner?" Orlando Bloom stood up, not good news.

"Universal Pictures doesn't agree." The agent's words calmed him down again, "I think he is seriously lacking in fame and appeal. Universal Pictures prefers to use young actors with certain appeal, outstanding appearance, and not particularly high pay."

Orlando Bloom has thought further. Isn’t this a role tailored for himself? He is cool, young, handsome, appeal, appearance... he is not short of either.

"Alan! I want to fight for this role!" He said impatiently, "Alan, you must help me win this role!"

"Orlando, calm down! Listen to me..." The agent's voice in the receiver gradually increased. "Due to the box office success of the two "Mummys" and their internal optimism about "Scorpion King", Universal Pictures will give Stephen Somos great power in this project, and also serve as the screenwriter, director and producer. If you want to get the male lead, you must get his approval."

Before Orlando Bloom could speak, the agent said, "I am not familiar with Stephen Somos and I can't speak in front of him. Aren't you friends with the Scorpion King actor? Tell him that you will attend the premiere of "Scorpion King" next month, and you will definitely meet Stephen Somos and find a way to get in touch with him. Go and please Stephen Somos, I will find a way in other aspects, and we will operate from two aspects."

"Okay!" said Orlando Bloom. "I'll call Matthew Horner in a while, and there's definitely no problem going to the premiere."

The agent there reminded him on the phone, "Matthew Horner is one of the candidates Stephen Somos like. Don't show your idea of ​​competing for this role in front of Matthew Horner, continue to applaud him, and make full use of his relationship with Stephen Somos and get close to Stephen Somos, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

After finishing the call with the agent, Orlando Bloom walked into the bathroom, prepared to wash up, and then called Matthew.

I drank a little too much last night, and Matthew got up late. Fortunately, he was not drunk and didn't feel a headache after getting up. After a simple wash, he was about to go out for a run. As soon as he left the house, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

He took it out and looked at it and found that it was Orlando Bloom's number.

"Hi, Orlando." Matthew answered the phone and said deliberately, "Is he willing to get up from the beautiful woman's arms so early?"

Although he admires Liv Taylor incompetently, this woman is a very beautiful actress recognized in the media.

This is probably the difference in aesthetics, and this difference is very difficult to adjust.

He once thought Nicole Kidman was very beautiful. For a while, the screensaver on smartphones used Nicole Kidman, but many colleagues said that Nicole Kidman's cheekbones were too high, his forehead was too wide, and his face was too pale, and he looked like a female ghost...

"It's okay." Orlando Bloom's laughter came from the phone receiver. "It's not Liv who reminded me that I've forgotten that your new film "The Scorpion King" is about to premiere, right? Remember to ask the crew to send me an invitation."

"Yes!" Matthew welcomed him, "I will call Sean Daniel in a while, he must be very happy."

The crew will definitely not refuse to be able to attract male stars who are very topical to attend the premiere in recent times.

Orlando Bloom didn't say much, "Okay, I'll wait for your notice."

After hanging up the phone, Matthew immediately dialed Sean Daniel's phone number. As he thought, Sean Daniel immediately sent someone to send an official VIP invitation to Orlando Bloom's agency.

Why did Orlando Bloom take the initiative to participate in the premiere of "The Scorpion King"? Matthew ran a few meters and then figured it out that Stephen Somos, as the screenwriter and producer of "The Scorpion King", will definitely attend the premiere, and Stephen Somos has confirmed to be the screenwriter, director and producer of that project, and the power is greater than Sean Daniel in the crew of "The Scorpion King".

If you want to be the leading actor of this project, Stephen Somos will definitely not be able to jump over it, and it is crucial.

Of course, he also knew that this might be because he was thinking too much. Maybe Orlando Bloom is indeed a good person. He participated in the premiere of "The Scorpion King" purely to cheer for him.

In the later period, in addition to continuing to study British accents and practicing fencing, Matthew was basically cooperating with Universal Pictures' promotion of "The Scorpion King".

As the release of "The Scorpion King" gets closer, Universal Pictures has also launched an intensive publicity plan.

Posters and stills of various films, trailers with different content, and news announcements about actors, shooting and behind the scenes have appeared on various media platforms one after another. Universal Pictures is one of the six major Hollywood film companies today. It has a long history and profound background. It has rich experience in this area. The pace of release of film promotional materials is very well controlled to arouse the audience's appetite as much as possible.

As the male lead in the film, Matthew also appeared on the cover of some magazines, such as Entertainment Weekly, and participated in many pretentious interviews. These soft publicity in the traditional Hollywood sense were also carefully planned by Universal Pictures.

In terms of promoting movies, Matthew has limited knowledge and is basically in line with the rhythm of Universal Pictures.

In addition to soft publicity, Universal Pictures has also put a lot of effort into hard marketing, including subways, buses, airport advertisements and various outdoor posters in major cities across the United States.
