Chapter 137 Very concerned
Please vote for recommendation!
Leaving the media area and entering the Chiefs Stone Theater, Matthew looked at Brandon Fraser. At the end of the interview, he noticed that Brandon Fraser's face was a little gloomy.
"I don't know fashion at all." Matthew explained, "It's all done by spending money to find a stylist."
The gloom on Brandon Fraser's face instantly dissipated, and he raised his hand and patted Matthew on the shoulder, "Don't take the reporter's words seriously."
Matthew nodded and agreed, "They are all guys who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos."
"It's right!" Brandon Fraser suddenly changed the subject, "There is an acquaintance in front of me, I'll say something."
Without waiting for Matthew to answer, he accelerated and soon entered the screening room.
Watching Brandon Fraser walk away, Matthew shook his head slightly, he was not a fool either.
Rachel Weizi walked over from behind at this time, probably saw something, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Matthew shook his head slightly, "It's okay."
"Don't take it to heart." Rachel Weisz said with a smile. "Brendon is a man who loves to show off and always considers himself the boss of the crew."
Matthew smiled, but did not respond, and entered the screening hall with Rachel Weisz.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that Matthew's seat happened to be next to director Stephen Somos, and when he passed, Stephen Somos was already sitting there.
"Hello, Director Somos..." Matthew greeted him on his own initiative.
Stephen Somos nodded to him, "Long time no see, Matthew." He paused slightly, and then said, "Have you stopped your fitness and boxing training?"
"No." Matthew subconsciously wanted to do the movement of the bent arm showing his muscles. Thinking of a director next to him, he stopped quickly and said, "After I left the crew, I participated in "Black Hawk Down" directed by Ridley Scott, playing a heroic and combative Delta Army non-commissioned officer..."
He suddenly thought that Stephen Somos might have no intention to ask this question, and said in a pissy manner, "During the filming period, I was always doing military training until I left the crew in February. After I came back, I exercised five times a week, and the same was true for boxing training."
"Good." Stephen Somos's words sounded unremarkable, "It's good for actors, especially those who prefer action-oriented."
Although Matthew didn't understand what Stephen Somos meant, he said according to his words, "I will stick with it for a long time."
Simple fitness is indeed a bit boring, but with boxing training, he can easily find fun.
While sitting here and waiting for the film to start screening, Matthew was still considering what Stephen Somos meant, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't understand it. In addition, the movie was about to start broadcasting, so he gave up temporarily.
The huge Chiefs Stone Theater was filled with people. Looking back, the ordinary audience seats behind them were also full.
After all, this is the sequel to "The Mummy", and it has the basis of the previous work. "The Mummy Return" can attract a large number of viewers.
The lights on the ceiling of the screening hall were extinguished one after another, and the big screen lit up. Then the opening credits of Universal Pictures appeared. Among the crew members, the first name of Stephen Somos flashed by, followed by the male and female protagonists Brandon Fraser and Rachel Weisz, and then the young actors Freddy Bush, John Hanna, Odd Phil and Arnold Vosru, and Matthew Horner appeared in the eighth one!
Compared to the soy sauces in "The Soul-Escaped Girl" and the names in "Gladiator" can only appear at the end of the film, this is definitely a huge improvement for Matthew.
The opening subtitles are not as simple as listing names. The order of names appearing, the size of fonts, etc. are closely related to the actors, status and importance in the movie.
Matthew knew very well that as the name appeared in the opening credits, he had completed his transformation from a character actor to an ordinary actor.
The next goal is the little star.
But the distance between ordinary actors and stars is quite large. Most Hollywood often appears in movies. They can get several roles a year and even become familiar actors among the audience. They will never be able to overcome this step in their entire lives.
This requires ability and more importantly, appropriate opportunities.
Where is his opportunity? Matthew has no idea. All he can do is to be as high as possible, so that he can seize the opportunity when it comes.
Hollywood is extremely fierce. Most of the time, opportunities do not appear in front of you, they belong to you. This requires people to have the corresponding ability to seize opportunities.
The film entered the main screening, and Matthew was the first major actor to make an official appearance.
He had inquired before that the scenes of Scorpion King appearing are concentrated on one end and the end of the film.
In 3067 BC, the Scorpion King led a large army to conquer the world, but his ambition was defeated in the seven-year battle. His defeated troops entered the Amche Desert. The harsh environment caused the once brave soldiers to die one after another. The Scorpion King, who was on the verge of death, gave his soul to Anubis, the god of death, in order to defeat his enemies.
After this, the Scorpion King and the Death Legion from Hell were invincible, and the Death Legion that had won the victory also fell asleep again.
Matthew also saw his longest outing in the movie so far. The opening scene took more than four minutes, and the entire content was centered around his character. He was the only protagonist in the picture, and close-ups kept appearing.
The purpose of this character's existence is in addition to the background introduction, to show off his figure and skills. His figure looks quite strong in the camera, and after editing a fighting scene on the battlefield, it is also very outstanding.
The scorpions swallowed in the desert at the end are the finishing touch and will leave deep memories for people.
Of course, these are all the thoughts of Matthew when he watched the video.
It is still unknown how other audiences view his role and performance.
In general, this is a qualified entertainment film. Perhaps because he saved some of the expenses in the role of Scorpion King, the special effects look pretty good. The fierce images of Imoton, Scorpion King and his loyal followers are very vivid.
The Scorpion King was in the Battle of the Birds in Thebes City 5,000 years ago, and the mummies chased on the streets of London. Imodon used magic to blow the river water up and chased the hot air balloons. The final scene of the Scorpion King Anubis Legion and Egyptian Cavalry. With the special effects level of this era, he has reached the top.
However, in Matthew's eyes, he was somewhat suspicious of 50 cents of special effects. After all, he had experienced an era of almost crazy movie special effects bombing.
Compared with special effects, the plot of the film can only be said to be average. Rachel Weisz once said that the plot is not what Stephen Somos is good at.
For such a typical commercial entertainment movie, the plot has never been the main selling point.
There is basically no scene in the middle of the film. It was not until the ending battle that the Scorpion King appeared again. However, this time, unlike the human image at the opening film, the Scorpion Emperor, who has become a human-headed scorpion-body, looks quite cool.
However, the Scorpion Emperor had a powerful appearance and did not show any strength in combat, and soon became a victim of the hero's protagonist.
The commercial entertainment movie will definitely end with a happy family reunion. All the bad guys die, and the good guys escape from danger at the critical moment...
Even if you look at Matthew's not very professional, "The Return of the Mummy" is a large-scale industrial assembly line production that is above the level and should be outstanding.
The lights on the ceiling were on, the screen was dark, and there was warm applause in the screening hall, and everyone in the crew stood up and applauded.
Matthew also stood up, turned his head and glanced back. He couldn't see the ordinary audience seats too far away. The people in the guest seats in the back rows also stood up and applauded.
This kind of applause is more out of politeness, and it may not be the excellence of the film.
But Matthew was applauding hard, both for watching videos that make people happy and happy, and for himself.
In this film, he appeared for more than ten minutes, and there were more than ten close-up shots alone. Stephen Somos completely put down his former prejudices and gave him enough opportunities to show his face.
I hope it can leave a deeper impression among the audience, and I hope the media can pay more attention.
These are Matthew's expectations now. This role is already the most important person of all the roles he has ever played. According to his guess, Ridley Scott and Jerry Brookheimer would not give him so many opportunities to show his face in the film "Black Hawk Down".
Matthew suddenly became uneasy, and this kind of thing was not under control.
A young actor or even an ordinary star has no say in front of directors and producers.
The applause dispersed, the screening room gradually became quiet, and some people left the ordinary audience in the back, and no one left in front for the time being. Most of them came to the crew and expressed their congratulations on routine.
This is also an unwritten convention for Hollywood-style movie premieres.
However, most of the guests congratulated Sean Daniel, Stephen Somos and the male and female protagonists, and Matthew was basically in a state of no attention.
"Hi, Matthew!"
Paul Walker came over and shook hands with Matthew, and said, "It's a good job! The character of Scorpion King is very impressive!"
He added, "So you took off your clothes and had such a good figure."
Matthew laughed and patted his arm, "Thank you!"
"Well, why are you polite to me?" Paul Walker came over and whispered. "I heard you are in conflict with Van Diesel again?"
Matthew said helplessly, "He came up with him on his own initiative, and I couldn't even hide."
It can be felt that Van Diesel’s resentment towards him is getting deeper and deeper. But with his current ability and status, there is no way to deal with Van Diesel. You can’t kill him and destroy his body, right?
Chapter completed!
