Matthew was warmly welcomed by movie fans in the city where the crew passed by. The media mentioned his reports were mainly positive. Not to mention others, even he himself had an illusion, as if the role of Scorpion King made him famous all over the United States overnight.

But Matthew finally knew the real situation. These were all Helen Hermann's careful planning. When he came to New York, he and Elena Poyal kept discrediting Brandon Fraser's rewards. He spent a lot of money like flowing money, and the money he had accumulated was almost exhausted.

Fortunately, the effect was also seen. After all, this is not a hype out of thin air, but a character that really responded well as the basis.

Matthew met a large number of fans who supported him at the event. The number was so large that it was impossible for them to be hired. It should be said that most of them were real fans.

There are crowds of people in Cote Square in Long Island, and countless fans gather together. Some crazy fans even dress up as Anubis, but more fans wear cultural shirts with the strong, fierce and domineering Scorpion King printed on them to show their love for a certain character.

Someone even put out slogans - What's the matter with the mummy coming back? I only remember the Scorpion King!

"See it, Andy." Sean Daniel was standing on the terrace of a building near the square and said to a white man in his thirties. "This is the real situation. The Scorpion King is very popular. Its cultural shirt has become a trend among some fans."

The person named Andy is the assistant of Philip Clayston, director of Universal Pictures' production department. At this time, it can be regarded as Philip Clayston's eyes.

Sean Daniel said, "A similar situation will occur almost every stop."

"It's because of this." Andy laughed. "Mr. Philip Cleeston asked me to come and see. These are more realistic than media and statistics."

Sean Daniel said no more. This is not a dispute over intention, but a dispute over business, everything is spoken from the market.

The sun was a little dazzling in May, and the two quickly hid under the sun umbrella. Since this was a prosperous commercial area and it was not easy to rent a suitable place, they could only find such an open-air cafe built on a not-so-high building.

“Get out of here!”

In the building below, Brandon Fraser entered the dressing room and found that the first chair he used to sit in the door was occupied by Matthew. "This is my seat!"

Matthew ignored him at all. He had just met Helen Herman in the morning and finalized something.

"Didn't you hear it?" Brandon Fraser was dissatisfied with Matthew's accumulation of too much. "This is my seat!"

"You?" Matthew was deliberately provoking trouble. He looked at the chair first, then at the dressing table, spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I didn't see your name."

Brandon Fraser narrowed his eyes, "What do you want to do, Matthew Horner?"

Matthew stood up from the chair and shrugged, "Just want to tell you something." He suddenly reached out and patted Brandon Fraser on the shoulder, "I don't like this move very much."

He snorted coldly and said deliberately, "Don't be the boss everywhere. Brandon, you belong to the last century! Haven't you understood it yet? You're outdated."

Brandon Fraser was stunned for a moment, Matthew passed by him, and his proud laughter accompanied him out of the dressing room.

Matthew left the dressing room and did not leave immediately. Instead, he slowed down and wanted to confirm the effect of his provocation. With Brandon Fraser's temperament as a boss, he was ridiculed in person by his younger brother in the crew. With such a long period of accumulation, he must be furious.

In the past ten days, although he has been quietly stimulating Brandon Fraser, he has never had a head-on conflict with him, nor has he challenged his crew's mentality.

Bang-

There was a huge noise in the dressing room, and something seemed to fall to the ground.

Hearing this sound, Matthew didn't have to go back and take another glance. After more than ten consecutive days of excitement, Brandon Fraser stepped into the trap step by step. The anger accumulated over the past ten days was probably burning in his heart.

On the terrace near the square, Andy and Sean Daniel had a smooth communication, which was also related to the current situation in "The Return of the Mummy".

The box office of "The Mummy Return" successfully exceeded 100 million yuan in North America, but its reputation has been falling all the way. It was dragged down by poor reputation. The film has already started to open high and end low. After the box office was released in the first week, Universal Pictures expected that the final North American box office could reach between $250 million and $270 million. Now it has quietly lowered its expectations, believing that the box office of "The Mummy Return" will not exceed $230 million at most when it is down.

More people inside Universal Pictures have also begun to realize that continuing to produce sequels to the "Mummy" series may not be a good choice.

After all, "The Return of the Mummy" can consume the popularity accumulated by "The Mummy". Is there so much popularity left for another sequel?

"Andy," asked Sean Daniel, "when will the marketing department's research end?"

"It's soon, it won't last too long." Andy thought for a while, and said, "Before Wednesday, the statistics will definitely be in the hands of Mr. Philip Clayston."

Sean Daniel nodded. Stephen Somos's script has been completed and is being revised and polished. The plan is also being formulated. As long as Universal Pictures gives the green light, the project will soon be put into actual planning.

I believe that the responses of the media and movie fans to the role of Scorpion King during this period should also be spread to Universal Pictures, and the resistance may be smaller.

The only flaw is that Matthew Horner is not famous enough. Although Brandon Fraser has attracted a lot of criticism and abuse because of his more ordinary performance in the film, his appeal is not comparable to Matthew.

What about changing the male lead? Sean Daniel continued to shake his head. Although the Scorpion King in the two films is not the same person, the risk of changing the actors is still too high, and it is impossible to find an actor who is more suitable than Matthew Horner in a short period of time.

Among the younger generation of action actors, few of them are famous, such as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Nicholas Cage, etc., but the high pay is a problem.

It is far better to use raw materials than to use cooked products. Moreover, when Matthew Horner was filming at the Pinewood Studios, he and Stephen Somos were quite impressed.

The event in the square was approaching its end. Andy suddenly found a place that was in chaos and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong there?"

Sean Daniel also noticed it, so he quickly stood up and walked to the edge of the terrace. Since it was not far from the square, he could clearly see the other side. The chaos was obviously caused by a fight.

"It seems that the fight started." Andy also walked over.

Needless to say, Sean Daniel also saw it, his face was not very good-looking, after all, he was the person in charge of the crew.

In the square, the security personnel separated two people, and media reporters gathered around to take pictures wildly. Sean Daniel saw it clearly. One person was strange and the other was very familiar.

The person familiar with is clearly Brandon Fraser!

Another person was wearing the Scorpion King's cultural shirt, probably a movie fan.

"Did Brandon Fraser have a clash with the fans?" Andy couldn't believe everything he saw, "Is he crazy?"

A movie star clashes with a fan who supports the movie he starred in. Isn’t this crazy?

This is simply a scandal!

There was not much conflict in the square, and the situation was quickly taken into control. Sean Daniel called, asked a few questions, and quickly hung up again.

"What happened?" Andy asked.

Sean Daniel sighed and said, "A movie fan wanted to ask Brandon Fraser for autographs. For some reason, Brandon Fraser was in a bad mood because the fans refused to sign in a cultural shirt with the Scorpion King printed on it. The fans couldn't understand his unreasonable excuses. They probably said something bad. The two had a verbal conflict, and Brandon Fraser took action to beat the fan."

Andy didn't quite understand, "Why did he refuse to sign an autograph for fans wearing a Scorpion King's cultural shirt?"

"This is not the first time." Sean Marshall seemed helpless. "It's probably the Scorpion King who stole the limelight from the protagonist, so I'm not happy."

He shrugged, "Brendan Fraser has always considered himself the boss of the crew, this kind of thing..."

Sean Daniel didn't say it. Andy could understand what he meant and couldn't help but shake his head. How could Brandon Fraser be the protagonist of a big production now?

When the two of them went downstairs, they didn't know who actually called the police. The police took away the two parties involved in the conflict and took notes to the people around them. In full view of everyone, Brandon Fraser couldn't even lose his mind.

Sean Daniel knew very well that this incident would inevitably cause an uproar in the media, but his bail of Brandon Fraser was not very fast. It was not until that night that Brandon Fraser came out of the police station.

There was no surprise in the development of the matter. Related news appeared on the Internet that day, traditional newspapers and TV stations also reported the next day, and the media unanimously accused Brandon Fraser, the Hollywood star, of losing its reputation.

Under pressure from Universal Pictures and the agency, Brandon Fraser publicly apologized, but could not restore the lost popularity.

"The situation is very clear now." Helen Hermann told Matthew in a suite in a hotel in New York. "I just got news from Universal Studios that the senior executives of Universal Studios are very dissatisfied with Brandon Fraser and are negotiating with his agency. It is unlikely that the Mummy will start a sequel in the short term."

But Matthew asked curiously, "Did you arrange the things in the square?"

Helen Hermann just asked him to find a way to anger Brandon Fraser, but said nothing else.
Chapter completed!
