Chapter 191 Male God

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

Hearing Helen Herman's words, Matthew leaned on the sofa and sat down, "Tell me."

Helen Hermann was obviously ready for a long time and said directly, "First, as long as you walk out of the house, you must pay attention to your clothes anytime and anywhere, and don't care about other celebrity actors. You must pay attention to it! Our goal is not just an ordinary star!"

She thought for a moment, "Let me say that, my goal of positioning you is very simple, and I will build you into a tasteful business superstar!"

Matthew nodded and said, "I like this positioning very much."

This does not conflict with his goal at all, but Matthew had a little doubt, "Don't it mean that you can highlight the style when you act in an art film and win an Oscar?"

"Who told you?" Helen Hermann shook his head. "This statement does make some sense, but it is not absolute. I ask you, which one do you think is better, Tom Cruise or Kevin Spacey."

Matthew spread his hands, "Is this still necessary to ask?"

Helen Hermann said, "When it comes to the level of first-tier stars, especially superstars, the real decisive role is the commercial value! Why do you think those people break their heads and grab the Oscars? It's very simple, it can make their commercial value soar like a Rocket in the shortest time."

She didn't seem to want Matthew to take another path and said specifically, "If your business value is high enough, the style will also increase."

Matthew nodded slightly.

Helen Hermann said again, "Remember, this is Hollywood! It is still a capital business circle in essence!"

Perhaps because of the similar scent, Matthew fully agrees with Helen Hermann's statement.

This circle itself is very complex. Everyone has different positions and their views are naturally different.

"You need a professional stylist!" Helen Hermann continued to talk about the topic just now, "The clothes you wear, accessories you wear, even hairstyles, sunglasses, rings, etc. you must plan for you! At the same time, you must learn some simple styling knowledge in case of emergencies. When you appear in the media and the public, you must be a handsome man."

Matthew knew what she meant, "You are going to make me a male god."

"Male God?" Helen Hermann was slightly stunned, and then understood, "Yes, this statement is very appropriate."

For some reason, Matthew suddenly thought of Hollywood stars such as Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. It sounds like the path is a bit similar, as if Johnny Depp, who seems to be non-mainstream, is essentially taking this route.

In the past, these were Hollywood's top business superstars. Even small people like him were well-known to them, which was enough to witness the super influence of these stars.

If he really can become such a star, what's wrong? He will laugh out loud in his dreams.

"Now, let's talk about the second point," Helen Hermann said, "soon, you need a personal assistant to help you manage your personal affairs, especially in the crew. If you have participated in the filming, you should know that there is a professional service assistant that allows you to focus on your work."

"It's true." Matthew felt deeply about this.

The video he recently filmed is in ancient costumes, and it takes a few hours to put on makeup. Once he puts on makeup, some things are quite inconvenient to do.

Helen Hermann was probably thirsty, so he took a glass of water himself, took a sip and said, "You are a star now, and any of your privacy may be converted into money. The assistant provided by the crew is no longer reliable." She paused and said, "Of course, there is no need to worry about this now. You can wait until your new job starts."

Matthew nodded slightly. Compared with the crew's assistant, the personal assistant who signed the confidentiality treaty is undoubtedly more reliable.

Helen Hermann put down the water cup, "Third, if you encounter any emergencies in the future, you must notify me as soon as possible. You must remember this!"

Matthew had no objection, "I understand."

"Fourth, don't promise anyone or any company. You are popular now, and some things are different from the past..."

The two chatted in the room for three hours, and even the lunch was taken out by Matthew. In the afternoon, the reporter reduced the number a little. He and Helen Hermann drove to the staff union and settled the remaining matters of the contract.

In the evening, Matthew rushed to Universal Studios and participated in a press conference convened by Universal Studios. Philip Clayston, director of Universal Studios' production department, jointly announced that he would invest $160 million to create a fantasy adventure action movie with Van Helsing as the absolute protagonist. The movie will bring together a series of famous Universal monsters such as Dracula, vampire, werewolf and Frankenstein. In the script hosted by Stephen Somos, he is striving to integrate the mummy and Scorpion King into it.

This big news released by Universal Pictures is undoubtedly a great excitement for the currently being screened "The Scorpion King", which is also the reason why Universal Pictures specially chose this time period to hold a press conference.

As soon as the news was announced, it immediately caused a burst of exclamations. The surprises of media reporters mainly come from two aspects. On the one hand, the production budget of 160 million US dollars is not unique in Hollywood today, but it is also very rare. On the other hand, how to integrate and balance so many famous characters in a film are all problems.

As soon as the press conference ended, Matthew didn't stay long and left Universal Pictures early.

However, he also noticed that Stephen Somos did not seem to pay attention to him anymore, and guessed that he might have found a more suitable Van Helsing.

After all, compared to the $160 million big production, he is just a small star with limited appeal.

What Matthew wanted to see most was that Stephen Somos and Orlando Bloom could hook up and become a villain... No, it was a strong team. In that case, the possibility of Orlando Bloom fighting for the little blacksmith in "Pirates of the Caribbean" would be much smaller. Even if he fought for it, the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" would have some concerns.

Judging from the current situation, the two projects "Van Helsing" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", there is a certain time conflict between planning and preparation to shooting. It is too unlikely that one person will play two protagonists at the same time, and there are too many uncontrollable factors.

Since the premiere of "The Scorpion King", which introduced Orlando Bloom and Stephen Somos, Matthew has never seen Orlando Bloom again, and he doesn't know how much Orlando Bloom has done his job.

However, he specifically inquired about Orlando Bloom and his agent frequently went to and from Universal Studios in recent days, and also saw news about Orlando Bloom having lunch with Stephen Somos in the newspaper. I believe Orlando Bloom is starting from two aspects to strive to win the role of Van Helsing.

I hope the two have hooked up together.

At present, "Van Helsing" has not started to select actors, and everything is possible.

In contrast, "Pirates of the Caribbean" seems to be slower, and the project has not been announced yet, but Matthew and Helen Herman have been paying attention to Jerry Brookheimer's dynamics.

In fact, in the hands of Disney and Jerry Brookheimer, Pirates of the Caribbean, which has not yet been announced, progressed much faster than Van Helsing, which is just stuck on paper.

Helen Hermann once visited Disney Studios and saw the scenes of Studio 2. Halfway through the scenes. Jerry Brookheimer recently went to Rosario, Mexico, to film the scenes at sea in the huge artificial lake where James Cameron filmed "Titanic" that year, but was taken first by 20th Century Fox's "The Battle of the Sea". According to internal news from Disney, Jerry Brookheimer intends to shoot some outdoor scenes in the Caribbean Sea.

According to Helen Hermann's estimate, the Pirates of the Caribbean will announce the project and begin selecting actors at the latest no later than the end of May.

Whether it is a London accent or a rather fancy fencing, Matthew has made full preparations. His biggest wish now is not to see Orlando Bloom's name on the audition list.

Beverly Hills, Orlando Bloom stood in the huge living room of the newly purchased mansion, and was really full of energy under the bright lights of daylight.

He also has the capital to be full of energy. "The Lord of the Rings" received a box office of more than $300 million from North America. Legolas was so popular that he was the focus wherever he went.

Orlando Bloom even felt that as long as he had a successful box office success in the next big production film, he would definitely be at the forefront. After working hard for a few more years, he would probably reach the level of Tom Cruise.

In the corner of the living room, his agent hung up the phone and walked over, saying, "Universal Pictures officially announced the project of "Van Helsing".

"Yeah." Orlando Bloom nodded, "We're going to speed up."

The agent is confident, "Universal Pictures is very recognizing you, and Stephen Somos has a good impression of you. He has agreed to let you go directly to the makeup audition. As long as you have a good audition effect on the makeup audition, we are very likely to get this role."

Orlando Bloom emphasized, "It's not very likely, I must take this role."

Judging from the several times he met Stephen Somos, the other party at least appreciated him a little, and seemed to like the role of Legolas very much.

The only problem is the competitors.

"Where is Matthew Horner?" he asked with concern.

"It is said that he is still busy with the promotion of "Scorpion King". "Scorpion King" has a big box office in the first week. If he wants to win, he is also a competitor with certain strength."
