Chapter 648 Homesickness

The night became thicker and thicker. After a busy day, the crew of the camp consisting of many vehicles fell into silence. Matthew sat in his trailer, read the blog and Facebook, and responded to some comments from fans appropriately.

Although there are special people working on blogs and social accounts now, he will come to check it out from time to time, and occasionally post blog posts or Twitter in person.

After doing this, he logged in to the email address to process the emails he had accumulated in recent days.

The latest email was sent by Lily Collins, saying that he couldn't get through his cell phone and asked him to contact her after returning to Los Angeles.

Matthew made a simple reply and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. The infrastructure of America is much worse than the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Since he came to this wilderness, his mobile phone has never received a signal.

After complaining in his heart, he continued to read the second email, which was sent by Helen Hermann.

Helen Hermann just returned from Geneva, Switzerland and has settled the latest endorsement negotiations with Rolex. Starting from July this year, he will transform from a simple Rolex print media spokesperson to a Rolex spokesperson like tennis superstar Roger Federer. Endorsement advertisements will also appear in the entire media, and the endorsement fee will increase from $3 million a year to $6 million.

There is still room for growth for this $6 million. If the endorsement effect is excellent, there will be a 10% increase every year in the next five years.

Matthew was very satisfied with this endorsement contract. Among the many spokespersons of Rolex, his treatment was second only to Roger Federer.

In some ways, Roger Federer is the first spokesperson of Rolex. Cow has a background advantage that others are difficult to have. He is a Swiss.

Moreover, tennis events are also Rolex's main sponsors.

A new contract between the two parties will be signed after he returns to Los Angeles.

In addition, Helen Hermann also mentioned that Armani, the endorsement contract between George Clooney and Armani men's ready-to-wear brand will expire at the end of this year. She returned from Switzerland this time and turned to Milan, Italy to meet Armani's senior management and George Armani himself. Armani also intends to let him replace George Clooney, but there is no voice in the internal support of George Clooney, and it cannot be decided yet.

Since he endorsed Armani men's underwear, this brand has sold significantly, and has been one of the best-selling luxury underwear brands on the market in recent years.

Matthew replied to Helen Hermann, "I understand" and closed the email.

Helen Hermann had enough to deal with these things, so he didn't need to worry too much.

The last email was sent by Kevin Feige, the president and CEO of Marvel Studios, reminding him to stand up for the two promotional meetings after he came back, and not to forget to attend the premiere of the film in early May.

This superhero movie produced by Marvel completed all post-production as early as February. The first video ad was broadcast on the Super Bowl. So far, it has released an official trailer. Although many fans have high praise for the trailer, the media and the industry are not optimistic about the prospects of this film.

The doubts mainly focus on two aspects. One is that Marvel's lack of independent production experience, and the other is that Iron Man can only be regarded as a second-tier superhero in the American comics industry compared to Spider-Man or Batman.

After the trailer was released, many movie fans even expressed their doubts online, who was this person wearing iron clothes?

Matthew has been here for many years and has roughly understood that the Iron Man comics are completely different from the Iron Man movies he once knew, and are not very prominent among the many superhero comics in North America.

From the 1990s to the present, Marvel Comics has sold almost all the film rights of its most popular superheroes in exchange for the funds that Marvel Comics continues to stick to.

Matthew has been busy recently. He hasn't been to Marvel Studios for a while and hasn't seen the movie yet. However, from the trailer, the effect seems to be very good, just like the one I remember.

As long as this superhero movie can hit the box office, the fate of Marvel Comics will also change.

I remember that later, Marvel superhero movies were all about the opening credits of Dee Baby. If I remember correctly, Marvel Comics should have been acquired by Walt Disney.

Thinking of this, Matthew couldn't help but think about it. If Baby Di still wanted to acquire Marvel Comics, what could he get from it?

He sat in the trailer and thought about it for a while. He probably looked at the computer screen for a long time and his eyes were a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help but rub his eyes gently, but instead felt even more uncomfortable. He immediately turned off the computer and washed his face, then opened the trailer door, intending to breathe fresh air.

The night wind blew on his face with a fresh coolness, and Matthew felt much more comfortable in an instant.

"It's better to go outside..."

He turned around and picked up the small walkie-talkie that he could contact at any time, got out of the trailer and walked outside.

Just now the door was closed, and the adjacent trailer door opened. Brown Williams walked out. Matthew signaled the intercom in his hand and said, "I'll just go there, it's okay, don't follow."

Brown Williams did not listen to him and followed far away.

The camp consisting of the convoy was starry-like. Since the US-Mexico border area was not very peaceful, Matthew went out not far and encountered two groups of patrol personnel, which was also an important guarantee for the safety of the crew.

Matthew attaches great importance to the safety of the crew. There is no good security in downtown Los Angeles. The case of his underwear theft has not been solved yet, let alone such places where drug dealers and smugglers often appear.

After walking forward for a while, he saw a tall woman wearing a white tight T-shirt and dark slim jeans walking by between the two trailers in front, turning into the back of another trailer, and immediately accelerated to chase after him. After turning around, he found that the man was Gal Gadot.

Gal Gadot seemed to hear the footsteps behind him and just turned around and looked over.

Matthew immediately walked over and greeted him as he walked, "Good evening, Gadot."

"Good evening." Gal Gadot nodded at him.

Matthew came to her a few steps and asked, "It's so late, haven't you rested yet?"

Gal Gadot turned his head and smiled at him, "Didn't you have no rest?"

"There's too much work, and my head is swelling when I read the emails." Matthew said casually, "I don't feel comfortable in my eyes, so I come out to breathe fresh air."

"I can't sleep," said Gal Gadot.

Matthew asked curiously, "More work, more stress?"

In recent days, the main shooting of Gal Gadot's gun battle scenes, which are difficult for many women.

Gal Gadot slowed down at his feet and walked forward slowly, saying, "This workload is nothing, it's much worse than my daily training in the army."

She looked at Matthew and seemed a little hesitant. Before coming to the crew, she had heard many rumors about Matthew and inevitably had negative impressions. However, since she joined the crew, the two have trained together, rehearsed, and filmed many rival scenes. Matthew is completely different from the rumored one. Not only has she never harassed her and other female members of the crew, she is also obviously a dedicated and hardworking actor.

According to the rumors she has seen, Hollywood stars are all very erect on the crew and are very difficult to serve.

But Matthew in front of him was obviously not such a person.

Thinking of this, Gal Gadot smiled embarrassedly and said, "I just miss home."

Matthew smiled and shook his head, "It's so homesick."

"Yes, homesickness." Gal Gadot walked very slowly and was particularly light, and the ground was covered with soil and almost no sound. "This is a disease that can easily cause insomnia."

Matthew sighed softly and took his pace, "It is also a good thing to miss my hometown."

The two left the crew's residential area and gradually approached the outside of the camp. Gal Gadot asked him, "Don't you miss your hometown or family?"

"Well..." Matthew hesitated for a moment and shook his head slowly, "I have no family anymore, and I haven't returned to my hometown for more than ten years, so I can't remember it."

Gal Gadot smiled apologetically, "Sorry."

Matthew waved his hand, "It's okay." He continued, "Tell me about your hometown, this will relieve your homesickness."

"Israel..." Gal Gadot shook his head and asked, "What kind of place do you think of Israel?"

Matthew didn't think much and said directly, "The country that has risen in war is full of soldiers and is shrouded in the shadow of war."

Gal Gadot spread his hands, "So, there's nothing to say in my hometown."

Matthew nodded and did not continue the topic. He said, "You have a very standard shooting posture with a gun. Let's find a place to compete in shooting skills the next day. How about it?" He said deliberately, "I am a famous sharpshooter in the gun club. I shot every single shot at a fixed-point shooting, and my mobile shooting is far beyond ordinary people's standards."

Hearing this, Gal Gadot became interested, "Okay, if you have time, let's go back to Los Angeles to compete."

The two of them walked as they spoke and turned out from the rear of a large box truck. As soon as they turned around, Matthew saw two Latino men squatting beside the tires unloading the tires.

There was also a black backpack at their feet.

Perhaps the footsteps were too low, and everyone there was concentrating on them, and no one was coming.

Matthew subconsciously felt something was wrong, so he grabbed Gal Gadot and turned back to the back of the box truck. Gal Gadot had served as a soldier, and was very alert and felt something was wrong.

Relying behind the box truck, she whispered Matthew, "Are those two people on the crew?"

"I don't know." Matthew shook his head slowly, "There are hundreds of people here in the crew, and I can't recognize it."
