Chapter 174 Contact Liszt

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

"There is conflict?" Helen Hermann didn't quite understand what Matthew meant, "What conflict is there."

Matthew didn't want to touch Stephen Somos and Universal Pictures' monster movies, and said, "Time, shooting, preparation period, such a big production must be put in a long time and a lot of energy, and may not be able to take into account both."

Helen Herman nodded, "It's a bit of a conflict, so I'm thinking about it recently..."

Matthew wanted to speak again, but Helen Hermann raised his hand to stop him. "I have limited resources. Let's talk about Stephen Somos' project in the future. It's still early, so we will do our best to deal with the Pirates of the Caribbean that will be filmed earlier."

After hearing what she said, Matthew stopped mentioning this matter. Instead of having such unnecessary thoughts now, it is better to think about how to squeeze into Jerry Brookheimer's project.

Matthew thought for a while and said, "When the Black Hawk Down was promoting, I met Jerry Brookheimer several times. Judging from his attitude towards me, he remembered me and seemed to have a good impression."

Helen Hermann raised his arm and said, "There are very limited people who get the news now. What about you, the focus is on the promotion of "The Scorpion King". If this video is successful, we will really have the capital to compete for."

This is a very realistic problem. She did a lot of work in the early stages, but if the box office of "The Scorpion King" failed, whether it was Disney or Jerry Brookheimer, she would never consider Matthew.

But these preliminary work must not be done. Only when the preparation is sooner, the more sufficient it will be, the more capital you can have when the crew recruits actors in the future.

Helen Hermann said again, "The promotion of "The Scorpion King" will begin soon, you will cooperate with the crew, Matthew..." She paused suddenly and said after a while, "I will use my Disney relationship to fight for you as much as possible, and I will also find ways to influence Jerry Brookheimer."

Matthew nodded and said nothing, because he knew that Helen Hermann was not helping him, but doing normal business operations.

The two talked about work for a while and left the cafe together. Helen Hermann returned to the Angels Agency, while Matthew went to a gun club near Malibu. He made an appointment with Nie Bora to shoot a target together, and was considering applying for a gun card and buying a few legal guns to enjoy it.

After getting in the car, he called James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender respectively. The two of them said that as long as time permits, they would definitely attend the premiere of "The Scorpion King".

February passed quickly. As professional institutions predicted, after "Black Hawk Down" exceeded 80 million US dollars in the North American box office, the rate of increase became extremely slow. At the subsequent Oscars, only the best edited Little Golden Man was won back, and the Oscar bonus effect was limited.

Ridley Scott once again failed to hit the best director, and the School of Film Arts and Sciences seemed to look down on directors who were from commercial shooting.

After the Oscars, the North American film industry gradually became quiet and entered a relatively dull period. March and April, mixed between the Oscars and the summer period, are the traditional off-seasons of the North American film market. Generally, films that invest heavily in large productions and have confidence will not choose this period.

Just a week after the Oscars, Universal Pictures released the trailer for "The Scorpion King" on several TV stations and official websites.

Matthew also got a copy, which was uploaded to his personal blog with the approval of the crew.

After posting the blog, he received a message from Ilena Boyal on MSN.

"I just watched the trailer and it looks pretty good. You played very well. It turns out that you have such a good figure."

After thinking for a while, Matthew replied, "How many points do you think the trailer can be scored? From the perspective of commercial entertainment films."

The trailer is mainly based on action scenes, basically revolving around him as the protagonist, and then accompanied by some sexy and beautiful shots of Hu Kaili, which fully demonstrates the selling point.

"It's hard to say." Ilena Boyal is also a senior entertainment reporter. "This type of video is not my dish, it's too brainless."

Matthew was speechless for a moment, and he had to admit that Ilena Poyal was very reasonable. This "Scorpion King" is essentially an action entertainment movie that does not require the audience to use their brains.

Ilena Poyal then sent another sentence, "I just asked two colleagues who like this type of movie. They all said that the trailer is very exciting and that as long as time allows, you can buy tickets to watch it."

"Oh..." Matthew paused and typed another line of words, "Thank you for their support for me."

Ilena Poyal replied, "If the video is not exciting enough, they will be the most ruthless person to scold you."

The two of them talked about some mess again, there was no movement in Ilena Poyal, and Matthew also quit MSN, and watched entertainment news related to movies online.

During this period, the movies released were not very good, but "The Lord of the Rings" remained popular. The film by New Zealand director Peter Jackson has been unanimously praised by the fans of the book to the fans and then to the critics. The box office in North America easily exceeded 300 million US dollars, which is a double harvest of box office and reputation.

The film also makes a large number of actors truly become stars, such as Orlando Bloom, and Legolas is almost the most popular character in the Ring Protection Team, especially in the eyes of young men and women, who are definitely like a dream lover.

Matthew searched casually with Google and found a lot of news about Orlando Bloom. Although the other party was unaware of it, he listed Orlando Bloom as a potential competitor.

Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Matthew thinks this is still very reasonable. He will have nothing to do now. He also searched Orlando Bloom's information and read it. This guy is definitely a lucky guy. After all, he received the opportunity to audition for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. He happened to meet Peter Jackson, who wanted to enable non-star actors because of insufficient budget, and then became popular.

This luck is definitely against the will of heaven, and it is much better than him, a person who thinks he is lucky.

Matthew looked at Legolas on the computer screen and continued his previous consideration. He seemed to have two opportunities to compete for in big productions...

Thinking of this, he stood up from the front of the computer, and a thought gradually appeared.

Then, Matthew simply went out to the yard. A cool breeze blew. Because he was dizzy when facing the computer for a long time, he woke up instantly, and his thoughts just now became clearer and clearer.

He simply sat next to the wooden table in the yard and began to think carefully.

Although no one else knew, and even Jerry Brookheimer had no specific ideas, he knew very well that if he wanted to squeeze into "Pirates of the Caribbean", Orlando Bloom was his biggest opponent.

What if Orlando Bloom's schedule is not appropriate or he is not interested in the role?

"Wow……"

The crows suddenly came from the trees not far away, and a cloud floated from the sky, blocking the moon. The lights were not turned on in the yard, and it suddenly became extremely dark. The place where the wooden table and wooden chairs were placed was the place where the murder occurred. Matthew sat alone here, still moving.

Suddenly, he stood up and patted the wooden table, "Okay, just do it! Try it!"

Matthew stood up and walked towards the other side of the house, and the darkness around him had no effect on him.

Back in the house, he found his cell phone and dialed Orlando Bloom's number, and Orlando Bloom quickly picked up.

"Hi, Orlando, it's me, Matthew."

"Hello, Matthew," Orlando Bloom asked. "Is there anything wrong with calling so late?"

Matthew asked, "Are you in Los Angeles?" After receiving a positive answer, he said, "It's nothing. I haven't had an event since I moved. I'm going to hold a party at home this Saturday. Do you have time, Orlando?"

He added, "There are not many people, just Ben Foster and James McAvoy, who were all on the crew of "Black Hawk Down".

"Okay." Orlando Bloom agreed happily over there, "I will definitely arrive on time!"

Matthew said again, "I'll send the address to your phone later."

Orlando Bloom asked again over there, “Can I bring friends?”

"Of course." Matthew said without thinking, "I welcome you with both hands."

Afterwards, the two said good night and hung up the phone. Matthew called James McAvoy again. They went to the Black Mamba bar together a few days ago to have a drink. James McAvoy said he would stay in Hollywood to develop and would not return to the UK in a short period of time.

Sure enough, James McAvoy was still in Los Angeles. Of course, he would not refuse Matthew's invitation and took the initiative to call Michael Fassbender, who is also in Los Angeles.

Matthew called Ben Foster again, thought about it, and dialed Josh Hartnet's private number. Josh Hartnet answered his call, but declined the party invitation on the grounds that he had to be busy with work on the weekend.

This is normal. After all, Josh Hartnett is not a figure of the same level as them. He has starred in two large productions with an investment of $100 million. It can be said that young actors have become very influential in the past two years.

Apart from these people, Matthew had no other people to invite. After all, this was a party initiated under the banner of a friend's gathering. Agents like Helen Hermann and entertainment reporters like Ilena Poyal could not be called over.

This party was initiated temporarily, he did not make any preparations, and he had no experience in Western-style parties.
