Chapter 135 Boss
Like Vin Diesel's style, there are probably few people who have worked with him who want to continue to work together, but if it can bring benefits, those are not a problem. In Hollywood, who can't live with huge profits.
"The Mummy Returns" can be said to be a free publicity platform for "Fast and Furious".
Matthew got the news that the "Fast and the Furious" commercial will be played when "The Mummy Returns" is released.
With the release of "The Mummy Returns" just around the corner, there are some situations that surprise Matthew. Universal Pictures did not include him in the pre-screening publicity announcement. The pre-screening publicity is still based on Rachel Weisz and Brandon Fraser. The male and female protagonists are the main protagonists, and then there are two supporting roles, Arnold Vosloo and John Hanna.
Even in the trailers that have been released, there is no figure of the Scorpion King.
If it wasn't for the two posters of The Scorpion King already published by the crew, Matthew would have wondered if all of his characters had been cut.
A week before the premiere of the film, the crew had a formal negotiation with Helen Herman and Matthew, determined that Matthew must join the post-show promotion queue, and gave Matthew a detailed post-show promotion plan and schedule .
According to the crew, including the absence of Matthew and Scorpion King in the pre-screening publicity, this is a publicity strategy carefully formulated by Universal Pictures based on the results of internal auditions. They believe that the Scorpion King may become one of the film's explosive points!
Matthew is no longer a rookie at the beginning. He has gradually gained some understanding of the film industry. The trailer should focus on the essence of the film, but not all the breaking points of the film. Otherwise, the audience will not have the feeling of surprise when watching the film, which is very influential. Word of mouth and box office after the release.
The crew's statement also made him look forward to the film.
On the day of the premiere, Matthew went to the styling studio he contacted to do the styling. This was introduced by Helen Herman. The styling studio directly provided one-stop services including clothing rental and other services, which could save a lot of trouble.
The fee is certainly not cheap, this time alone, Matthew paid four thousand dollars, including clothing, watches and car rental costs.
When he took the car to the Chief Stone Theater, he was quite emotional. If he participated in many such activities, his family would soon go bankrupt.
The black Cadillac arrived at the Chieftain Stone Theater, where the premiere was held, and stopped at the entrance of a huge white tent, unlike last year's "Gladiator" premiere, where it's been raining in Los Angeles in recent days, Universal Pictures A canopy was specially built above the red carpet, and the guests attending the premiere could enter the tent connected to the red carpet and wait.
Although Matthew belongs to the crew, he will enter the theater at a later time, but he came early.
"This way, Matthew!" As soon as he entered the tent, Matthew heard someone calling him, turned to look, Paul Walker was waving here, hurriedly walked past, and said hello, "Long time no see, Paul. "
Paul Walker stretched out his fist, touched Matthew, and said, "Isn't it." He looked Matthew up and down, "You look so handsome."
With his nostrils turned upside down, Matthew deliberately said, "I'm born with good conditions, but I can't help it."
"Yeah, it's easy to attract people by nature." Paul Walker leaned a little closer and said mysteriously, "After you left the set, Michelle Rodriguez has been thinking about you."
"Uh..." Matthew had no interest in Michelle Rodriguez at all,
And Jordana Brewster said, Michelle Rodriguez takes it all. He turned to ask, "Why didn't you see Michelle and Jordana?"
"The two of them have something to do." Paul Walker thought for a while, and then said, "I don't think I want to see Vin Diesel. There are restrictions in my contract with the crew, but they don't."
Hearing the name Vin Diesel, Matthew couldn't help asking, "How are you guys doing after I leave?"
Paul Walker shook his head and sighed, "What else can I do? Suffering, Vin Diesel is more difficult than the most difficult star I've ever heard of..." He didn't want to say more about this, "No matter what. Anyway, I've finally come here, and I don't need to look at his black face again."
Matthew asked again, "Just the two of you from the Fast and Furious crew today?"
"Well." Paul Walker glanced at his watch, "I guess he will be late again."
The two chatted for a while, and people entered the tent one after another. The actor Brandon Fraser and the heroine Rachel Weisz of "The Mummy Returns" also arrived one after another.
Matthew was familiar with the two of them, and introduced Paul Walker. Paul Walker just said hello and stepped aside.
"You look fatter than before, Brandon." Matthew chatted casually with the two of them, "Rachel, you're prettier."
Rachel Weisz just laughed, and Brandon Fraser patted Matthew's shoulder carelessly, "Why are you so tanned?"
Matthew touched his face, "No way, I've been in North Africa for a few months."
"You should be afraid of the sun." Rachel Weisz pointed to herself, "I also shot in Morocco, and it hasn't changed at all."
"Yeah!" Matthew nodded and complimented casually, "The skin is better than the last time we met."
Rachel Weisz laughed happily again.
"That's because Rachel was nourished by love." Brandon Fraser deliberately lowered her voice, "Tell you a secret, Rachel just captured the heart of a director."
"Really?" Matthew looked gossipy and deliberately put on a curious look, "Rachel, who can impress a beautiful and talented beauty like you?"
Rachel Weisz was very generous and said directly, "His name is Darren Aronofsky, a director."
The name is very unfamiliar. Matthew thought it was just a little-known director, but Brandon Fraser added, "He is a genius who graduated from Harvard and is recognized by the circle as a promising rising star in the directing world."
Matthew nodded, "Isn't this a perfect match for our talented girl Rachel?"
Stars like Rachel Weisz would never find ordinary people as boyfriends. He still remembered that during the filming of "The Mummy Returns", Rachel Weisz had just broken up with Oscar best director Sam Mendes.
Rachel Weisz is the kind of sturdy woman who has told her love story to people like Matthew and Brandon Frazier, and Darren Aronofsky is already the one after she entered the actor circle Fifth boyfriend.
In this regard, there is not much difference between female stars in Hollywood and male stars. Breaking up and changing couples are as natural as drinking water and eating.
However, Rachel Weisz's replacement boyfriend seems to be more favorable for future development.
This is also understandable.
Brandon Fraser changed the subject at this time, "What have you been up to lately?"
"There is no role to pick up at the moment." Matthew mocked himself slightly, "Now it's a homeless person."
"It's okay!" Brandon Fraser patted him on the shoulder again, "I'll help you look at it, and I'll call you if I have a chance."
This was said as if Matthew was his little brother.
Brandon Frazier is really popular, and he does have such a capital. Rachel Weisz once said that if the film is a big hit, he can ask Universal Pictures $20 million for the third film. .
Matthew is very clear that Brandon Fraser is very much looking forward to the success of this film, and then the next film will start shooting as soon as possible.
The crew came over at this time to inform that the red carpet ceremony for the premiere was about to begin, but all three of Matthew stood still, and the first to walk on the red carpet were those who increased their exposure through relationships.
"The Mummy Returns" is not an obscure film, but a sequel to the hit film "The Mummy", and its own investment scale is also a first-line big production.
Universal Pictures dared to put this film at the beginning of the summer season, of course, thinking that it has enough appeal.
Someone entered the tent again, Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky went over to say hello, Matthew turned into a person, stood here waiting for a while, Paul Walker came from the side and hit him Say hello and get ready to walk the red carpet.
"The person behind me is Vin Diesel." Paul Walker shrugged, "That guy hasn't come yet."
Matthew was also quite speechless. Perhaps Vin Diesel had put himself in the role of Boss Tang in advance, thinking that he was the boss in the heaven and earth, the galaxy universe.
As soon as Paul Walker left, he walked out of the tent's exit on the red carpet side, and a bald head drilled in from the tent entrance.
Probably the location of Matthew's station was just opposite the entrance. Vin Diesel, who was wearing a bald head, saw him for the first time, and then walked over directly.
Matthew also saw Vin Diesel, no way, that bald head and cowhide look is too eye-catching.
Vin Diesel looked somber, as if Matthew owed him billions.
"This guy..." Matthew raised his vigilance and unbuttoned the hem of his dress jacket to make it easier to move around, "Don't you want to make trouble here?"
Several people noticed Vin Diesel and turned to look at him.
"Who is that person?" Rachel Weisz also saw it, reminding Brandon Fraser next to him, "He seems to be looking for trouble with Matthew."
Brandon Frazier turned his head and looked over there, just in time to see Vin Diesel's bald head, and said, "What is he? The famous shit stick! You wait here, I'll go take a look …”
They were a little far away from Matthew, and there were still a lot of people in the middle, and Brandon Frazier was not fast.
Matthew moved his shoulders and wrists slightly to prepare for the unexpected, his eyes gradually became sharp, and he stared at Vin Diesel's bald head.
If the opponent starts first, he doesn't mind trying the effect of continuing training during this time.
Vin Diesel came across from Matthew, but suddenly stopped six feet away, where Matthew's quick punches couldn't have hit the first time. ) Download Free Reader!!
