Standing in front of the dressing room, the female stylist looked at Matthew and unbuttoned a shirt for him, and her strong chest muscles were faintly visible.

"Okay." The stylist automatically retreated.

Matthew looked at the mirror opposite and nodded with satisfaction. The stylist was the one he used last time and had great experience in men's style, so he came to the other party again this time, and the effect was quite satisfactory.

"Mr. Horner." said the female stylist quite politely, "I'll leave first, and I'll have to catch another game."

"Okay." Matthew smiled at her, "Thank you."

If you have enough status and funds in the future, you can consider hiring her as a special stylist.

After the stylist left, the door of the dressing room was pushed open from outside. Helen Hermann walked in and asked, "How are you doing?"

Matthew knew that she was asking more than just the style, and pointed to her head, "I remember everything here."

Helen Hermann glanced at the watch and said, "It's almost time, let's go."

The two walked out of the dressing room together and walked towards the press room of Universal Studios.

This is the film project launch conference held by Universal Pictures for "The Scorpion King". After a period of planning, the crew has already taken shape. In addition to the production team led by Sean Daniel and Stephen Somos, it is also officially finalized that Matthew will be the leading actor, and Chuck Russell will be the director.

Although it has been a bit quiet in the past two years, Chuck Russell is also a senior director in the circle. When he was in glorious in the past, he has directed "The Disguised Marvel" and "The Secret of Evaporation". Unfortunately, the two works in the last two are mediocre, otherwise they would not have directed such a work.

According to Helen Hermann, the reason why Sean Daniel and Universal Studios chose such a director who is obviously on the decline is his ability to shoot routine commercial films.

There is no doubt that "The Scorpion King" must be a very standardized Hollywood industrial assembly line work.

From the perspective of risk control, such a film will use past successful experiences as much as possible to avoid the minefields that the audience hates, and the chance of failure is much smaller than that of a creative movie.

Matthew also likes such a director. If the box office of his first film as the male lead is broken, no one will dare to use him again in the future.

He signed a formal agreement with the crew two days ago. In addition to a $500,000 salary, Helen Hermann won a series of treatments that match the protagonist.

In addition, Helen Hermann also reached another agreement with the crew, and the crew will give priority to the use of actors under Angel Agency in the use of important supporting roles.

Matthew and Helen Herman entered the lounge leading to the press room one after another, and Sean Daniel and Stephen Somos were already waiting here.

"Hi, Sean. Hi, Stephen." Matthew took the initiative to walk over and say hello, "Long time no see."

He shook hands with the two of them one after another, Stephen Somoster looked him up and down, and said, "It's even stronger!"

"You guys want to praise me as the male lead, of course I can't let you down." Matthew is still the same as before and is very good at speaking. "I have been sticking to fitness. In addition to boxing training, I have been practicing free fighting recently."

Stephen Somos nodded, "Yes, I just like actors like you."

Sean Daniel came over and patted Matthew on the arm, "I said that choosing Matthew will reduce a lot of trouble for us."

Matthew smiled, and was about to say modestly, the lounge door opened from outside, and director Chuck Russell walked in. He had only seen it on the information provided by Helen Hermann before. The two of them were polite to each other under the introduction of Sean Daniel.

In the future, I will stay in the same crew for a long time. They are colleagues, and they all want to get along well if they don’t need it.

Then, several people, led by a news officer of Universal Pictures, entered the news hall and sat on the table opposite the media seat together.

There are dozens of reporters in the news hall, not many, and the atmosphere is not very warm. After all, it is just a medium-sized commercial film, and it lacks a director and starring actor with sufficient popularity.

There were only four people participating in the press conference. The press officer said a few words in a routine manner. Sean Daniel began to introduce the basic situation of the film. These are all programmatic things, nothing more than the investment in the film, the expected release time, etc.

In the early days of Hollywood, the crew could read scripts like this, but later the script gradually became the top priority for a crew to keep confidentiality, so this item was naturally cancelled.

"The Scorpion King" is expected to invest $40 million and is scheduled to be released in mid-April next year to avoid the fiercely competitive summer season.

Then, it was the time to ask questions in the press conference. Matthew, Sean Daniel, Stephen Somos and Chuck Russell, who had not practiced in advance, cooperated very well.

"Director Somos, I am Ilena Boyal from Yahoo Entertainment..."

A tall and strong female reporter stood up and asked, "The box office of "The Return of the Mummy" in North America has exceeded 200 million US dollars. Why don't you continue the sequel to the "The Mummy" series, but instead want to shoot a supporting role movie, and choose the less famous Matthew Horner as the male lead?"

Stephen Somos was prepared and opened his eyes to start saying the lies he made, "After the release of "The Return of the Mummy", both the media and the audience, they thought the Scorpion King was eye-catching. The Scorpion King's role was very suitable for Matthew to use his own advantages, and we witnessed the birth of an action star."

Except for Stephen Somos's words praising Matthew, there was silence.

Matthew sat in his own position and remained motionless. Almost every crew would write this kind of lies to attract media attention in order to promote the lies and create them every time they face the news media.

Stephen Somos continued, "Matthew's first scene on the set of "The Return of the Mummy" shocked us. Although he spoke the dialogue in ancient Egypt, his performance and charm were really eye-catching, so we started discussing a new film on the spot."

According to him, the project "The Scorpion King" had plans for the filming of "The Return of the Mummy", but it was obviously not the case.

However, people like Matthew, who know the whole story, certainly don't tell the truth.

These words finally stirred up the somewhat cold atmosphere at the scene.

Another reporter stood up and asked, "So, you had the intention to make "The Scorpion King" when you were filming "The Return of the Mummy"?"

"Although the Scorpion King is a supporting role that has appeared for less than twenty minutes, it is recognized as an eye-catching highlight."

The person who answered this time became Sean Daniel, who was also well versed in publicity. "We did find Matthew Horner as early as the filming of "The Mummy Return" and let him star in a movie that really belongs to him."

"Mr. Matthew Horner..."

Finally, a reporter noticed Matthew and asked him, "If you remember correctly, this will be your first time as the leading actor in a film. Can you talk about your thoughts?"

"I'm very, very excited!" Matthew kept laughing, sunny, "It's my honor to admire Sean and Stephen. I've been waiting for such an opportunity. This opportunity is not to be missed. I will definitely not disappoint them, and I will not disappoint the audience who like the role of Scorpion King."

"I want to add one more sentence." Stephen Somos suddenly interrupted, "Matthew's charm is not only reflected on the big screen, but also on the set."

He turned to look at Sean Daniel, "Shawn and I are both his loyal fans."

"Yes, it's true." Sean Daniel knows how to take advantage of the situation. Now the responses caused by "Brothers" are increasing day by day. "In addition to the Scorpion King, I also like Matthew's role as Ronald Spears in "Brothers", which is a character full of infinite charm."

The reporters present only then remembered that this seemingly inconspicuous young actor had also starred in heavyweight works.

There are more reporters interviewing Matthew, and they throw away one question after another. Matthew responds calmly, and it can be considered comprehensive.

Finally, the reporters targeted director Chuck Russell, who was in poor condition recently and was a behind-the-scenes job, which was relatively not very attractive.

When reporters asked why he wanted to take over the directorship position of the film, Chuck Russell also cooperated with the previous words of Matthew, Sean Daniel and Stephen Somos.

"I've always been passionate about films that cleverly blend wit, action, love and adventure, especially classic old films like "Robin Hood" and "Red Pirates". I've always been interested in shooting a costume action adventure film."

Chuck Russell is also a veteran in dealing with journalists. "The Scorpion King is very much in line with my requirements. The script and Stephen's description touched me. This is a story that not only shows a gripping and thrilling journey, but also reflects chivalrous and positive spirit."

He could see that Sean Daniel and Stephen Somos admired Matthew very much, and the crew confirmed the male lead first, and then confirmed the director, so he praised Matthew. "I have seen Matthew's works, and he has great performance potential, whether it is the Scorpion King or the "Brothers"..."

Chuck Russell had never seen it at all, and he didn't remember the fame of the character at all. He said in the wrong way, "Whenever these two characters appear in the picture, your eyes cannot be taken away from Matthew. He performed with his heart and the effect was excellent. I believe he will surprise more people in the future."

Several people were praising each other and making up the most beautiful lies, but the reporters below were recording them seriously, as if this was the real situation.
