Chapter 262 Annual Box Office Champion
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
Back in Los Angeles, Matthew gave himself a week off and took a good rest for a while. During this period, all training and learning were suspended and he was completely relaxed. This year, starting with his fake relationship with Keira Knightley, the thread in his head was tightly tense and needed to relax.
During this week, in addition to going to the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills and having sex with Jessica Alba, they basically stayed at home. Jessica Alba is definitely a good temporary bedmate, and she is also very relaxed and likes to play.
Neither of them concealed them. After occasionally finishing their business, they would go out for dinner together. There was inevitably a scandal between him and Jessica Alba in the tabloid.
The fastest spread in Hollywood is gossip. TMZ revealed that an insider in "The Living Dead" revealed that Matthew and Jessica Alba had a relationship during the filming. They often didn't take off their makeup after filming, and they just did it in the dressing room or other places.
The tabloids who focus on gossip and scandals are sure that Jessica Alba has completely replaced Kaira Knightley and has become Matthew's new girlfriend.
Such scandals on the market are related to Matthew, Helen Hermann and even Jessica Alba taking advantage of the situation to hype, and even Sean Daniel may have interfered.
There are often two types of gossip in Hollywood, one is actually photographed by paparazzi, and the other is deliberately released to hype it up.
The latter type accounts for quite a high proportion. Everyone knows that for the melon-eating crowds in America and even the world, Hollywood is essentially for entertainment. In this regard, the value of celebrity gossip is definitely not lower than that of the movies produced in Hollywood.
Using gossip and scandals to promote is absolutely efficient.
Not only Matthew and Jessica Alba are directly related to the two aspects, but even Kaira Knightley and the crew of "King Arthur" who are far away in the Kingdom of Great Britain have come together.
"Keira Knightley can't forget her old love, she burst into tears alone in the crew of "King Arthur"..."
"Jessica Alba blocks the way Matthew and Kayla Knightley reunite. Kayla Knightley is in a low mood and leaves the crew of "King Arthur" and is on vacation alone to heal..."
Similar gossip scandals have appeared in entertainment news on many media and websites, attracting a lot of attention.
It is obvious that King Arthur and Kayla Knightley successfully caught his popularity.
"Being able to be taken advantage of by others means that you are really popular now and have a great influence."
In the open-air cafe near the sea in the Paradise Bay of Malibu, Elena Poyal sat under a large sun umbrella, sucking cold drinks, and saying to Matthew opposite him, "This is a good thing for you. It is normal for celebrities to be taken advantage of by others. You are not without benefits."
Matthew, wearing a pair of sunglasses, leaned against a rattan chair and said, "Yes, I got the benefit, too."
Ilena Poyal put down his cup, leaned closer, and asked, "Is it true that you and Jessica Alba are in the dressing room?"
"I don't know." Matthew rolled his eyes.
Ilena Poyal confirmed, "With your style of doing things, it must be true, and you won't even let go of the 18-year-old Kayla Knightley. Jessica Alba doesn't give enough benefits. Will you come to such a hype in a tacit way?"
Matthew didn't comment.
"In fact, you can draw a conclusion by analyzing it." Ilena Poyal showed the professional qualities of entertainment journalists. "Although Jessica Alba was born as a child star, she has no representative works. "The Black Angel of the End of the World" and "Sweetheart Spicy Dance" released last month both responded very ordinary. Now, at best, she is a third-tier star. There seems to be no support behind her. Her family background is average. What capital does it have besides being a hot girl?"
Elena Poyal tilted his head and looked at Matthew, "Don't tell me you are a good person, you are obliged to help her."
Matthew shrugged slightly and said only, "Jessica Alba is really hot." He took the initiative to change the topic, "Isn't it okay if you ask me out?"
"It's nothing important, I just want to thank you." Ilena Poyal seemed very sincere. "When I just changed jobs, you gave me a piece of news in time, allowing me to gain a firm foothold in tmz. At the end of last month, tmz officially signed a employment agreement with me."
"Oh?" Matthew asked curiously, "What position?"
Ilena Poyal said with some smugness, "The deputy editor of the entertainment news page has a basic annual salary of 100,000 US dollars. If you can get hot news, you will calculate it."
Matthew said deliberately, "I have helped you get such a good position. Do you want me to have a cold drink as a thank you?"
"What do you want?" Elena Poyal snorted and said deliberately, "I want me to be like Jessica Alba? I need to think about it carefully..."
"No need to think about it!" Matthew didn't mean that at all, "You're thinking too much, Elena!"
But Ilena Boyal said to herself, "With your current fame and conditions, it seems that I am very advantageous."
Matthew resisted the urge to raise his middle finger at her and said, "You will definitely set up a camera in the room to take pictures secretly, and then release the contents of the secretly photographed, even if the heroine in it is you!"
"Is that true?" Ilena Poyal thought it seriously before saying, "If it doesn't, wouldn't it be a waste of resources."
She stopped making such jokes and said seriously, "I asked you out. The most important thing is to confirm your attitude, because I want our cooperation to continue."
"Of course we have to continue." Matthew did not intend to change the media partner. "Ilena, I have no other entertainment reporters to trust except you."
The two sides have been working together for several years. Although they are almost no bottom line between each other, they still have basic trust.
More importantly, as he became popular, Elena Poyal was also moving higher. If she were still a paparazzi-like entertainment reporter like that, he and Helen Herman would definitely find a partner in this area again.
Ilena Poyal nodded and said, "If there is any hot news or hype, I will always welcome it if I call me."
She knew very well that Matthew is now a second-tier star and is very likely to rush to the front line in the future. Such a star is of great value to entertainment reporters.
Matthew knew the inseparable relationship between celebrities and entertainment media, and said, "You are the absolute first choice for Helen and me in this regard."
Although the hype about him and Jessica Alba is not as powerful as before with Keira Knightley, judging from the current results, Elena Poyal has shown enough professionalism in actual operations.
Of course, no matter how the outside world hypes it, it is impossible for Matthew and Jessica Alba to become real boyfriend and girlfriend.
In fact, after Matthew's week-long holiday, his relationship with Jessica Alba quickly faded, which was the most normal reaction. The two of them were most interested in each other's bodies, and their enthusiasm came quickly and often faded quickly.
Although it is not 419, there is not much difference.
Moreover, after the holiday, Matthew started a planned life again, and focused more on honing his acting skills, practicing writing, boxing and free fighting training in the gym, and Jessica Alba's attraction instantly decreased.
In addition, he also needs to manage his blog.
After years of continuous updates and the attraction brought by becoming famous, Matthew's blog has reached six figures, with more than 10,000 active users every day, and can also be included in the ranks of well-known blogs, especially among Hollywood stars, whose popularity ranks among the top ten.
Most first- and second-tier Hollywood stars have also opened blogs, but in this era, there are not many people or companies that really attach great importance to. Like Matthew, there are very few people who can see that social media itself can create stars and topics in the future.
After all, no one else can cheat like him.
As time approaches the end of October, the screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is approaching the end of the film. The film's North American box office totaled US$352.27 million, surpassing Pixar Studios' "Find Nemo" and temporarily sitting on the throne of the annual box office of North America.
However, this box office figure does not guarantee that "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" will win the 2003 North American box office championship, because "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" has not been released yet.
From the media to companies in the circle, we all agree that after the preparation of the first two plots, "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" will usher in an explosive ending.
Professional entertainment media such as "Premiere", "Empire", "Entertainment Weekly" and "Hollywood Reporter" believe that Peter Jackson only needs to ensure that "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" has the quality of the first two movies, not only will it be successful in the box office, but Oscars will also respond positively to this.
Some optimists claim that the Oscars may break the convention of ignoring non-realistic films and give such a supermasterpiece the reward of best director and best film.
What's going on will not be announced until March next year.
"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" can only be described as a big hit in the North American box office, and its overseas box office is also excellent. From the screening in July to the present, the global box office has reached 752.7 million US dollars, and it is temporarily sitting at the global annual box office champion.
Similarly, before "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King", the global annual box office champion is also unknown.
The film's box office hit has benefited director Gore Vibinski, the three starring Matthew, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, especially in the sequel negotiations with Disney Pictures.
