"Universal Pictures has confirmed that the Scorpion King will shoot a movie with an investment of $40 million. Stephen Somos returns as screenwriter and producer. Also returns are young actor Matthew Horner. His role as Scorpion King in "The Return of the Mummy" is very interesting..."
The day after the press conference, news related to "The Scorpion King" appeared in many newspapers and magazines.
"The famous director Chuck Russell joined the "Scorpion King" movie and worked with Scorpion King Matthew Horner to help the "Mummy" series begin a new chapter."
A newspaper that has a partnership with Universal Pictures also briefly introduced Matthew.
"Actor Matthew Horner from Texas is only 21 years old, but he is recognized as one of the most outstanding young actors in Hollywood. He has worked with many well-known stars and big-name directors so far. His first work is the Oscar-winning film "The Soul Girl". His second work is the Oscar-winning film "Gladiator" directed by Ridley Scott. He later served as the male lead in the popular little queen Britney Spears MV. He went further and played the role of Ronald Spears, the fourth company commander of E Company in the epic war masterpiece "Brothers Company". He finally made a big splash with the role of Scorpion King in "The Return of the Mummy". Now he will play the male lead in the full film "The Scorpion King"..."
In an ordinary apartment in downtown Los Angeles, Liszt sat at the dining table, putting down the newspaper in his hand, thinking about something.
Next to him, his teenage son picked up the newspaper and started reading it.
A middle-aged woman came over with breakfast and placed her in front of Liszt and her son.
"Dad..." My son had read the article and was puzzled, "Do you like the Scorpion King too?"
Lister looked at his son, "I don't like it, I just met this actor."
The son became even more confused, "Are you chasing stars too?"
"No." Liszt shook his head and thought of the little driver he had before.
The middle-aged woman took the newspaper from her son, took a look, and asked, "You used to have a subordinate named Matthew Horner?"
"It's him." Liszt pointed to the newspaper, "Did you see the accompanying pictures? I won't admit my mistake."
The son opened his mouth in surprise, "Dad, your small staff member has become a Hollywood star now?"
Lister hesitated for a moment and nodded, "It's right to say that."
Even after more than a year, he still clearly remembers the little driver from Texas. At that time, he often asked for leave to shoot. Two idiots in the same office ridiculed him every time, and he was happy to watch the show. But who would have thought that he had become the leading actor in a large production costing of 40 million US dollars.
In just two years, from a little driver to the hero's position, are those who laugh at him jokes?
The son seemed to say something excitedly again. Lister focused on thinking about his own affairs and did not listen. Now Matthew Horner has changed from a small driver to the protagonist, and he has money. Can he develop him into a company's customer?
It can attract a Hollywood celebrity customer, but there are many commissions.
Liszt thought he should give it a try, so he went back to find Matthew Horner's contact information.
In the north of Burbank, Matthew closed the script and was about to go around the yard when he suddenly received a call from Helen Hermann.
"I have asked someone to hand over the rewards of Ilena Boyal to her." Helen Hermann said all about work, "Don't worry, you're giving cash."
Matthew walked into the yard with his cell phone, "When will the first pay for "The Scorpion King" be here?"
According to the agreement between the two parties, his salary is divided into three payments. The first $200,000 is paid within ten days of signing the agreement, the second $200,000 is paid when the crew starts filming, and the last $100,000 will have to wait until all his scenes are filmed.
There are also restrictions, such as if Matthew had a scandal about drug use, the crew had the right to deduct his pay.
This is also a more common limited clause in Hollywood.
"In just a few days, it won't last more than ten days." Helen Herman continued on the phone, "Ilena Boyal has gone to your place. She has a column on Yahoo Entertainment next Monday. We just gave her a generous reward. She decided to give you this position. I guess she will arrive later. I am preparing for the other roles audition. You can't get out of here. You can discuss with Ilena Boyal first. We will talk to you about the specific situation at noon."
"Yes." Matthew then asked curiously, "Did you have anyone chosen the heroine?"
Helen Hermann's answer was somewhat unexpected, "Agent got through Stephen Somos's relationship, and Sean Daniel did not object. The heroine was basically finalized. I can't get the heroine, but as compensation, the crew will use Angel agent's clients for the other important supporting roles."
"Confirm?" Matthew continued, "Who is it?"
"I don't know who it is." It seems that something is wrong with Helen Herman. "I'll know in a few days, I'll die first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Matthew heard the sound of beeping, shook his head, went back to the room to burn water, wiped the newly purchased wooden tables and chairs in the yard, and was about to entertain Ilena Boyal who took the initiative to find him.
After ten minutes, the doorbell rang, Matthew went over and opened the door, and the tall Ilena Poyal stood in front of the door.
"Long time no see, Ilena."
He asked, "Inside the house? Or outside?"
Ilena Poyal looked around and said, "It's outside, the air here is good."
This community is located in a hilly area above the San Fernando Valley, with very good greenery and habitable.
Matthew went to the house to make tea, brought it out and put it on the wooden table, and made a call to Ilena Boyal, "This is the imported green tea I bought specifically in Chinatown, and it has its own flavors as well as the black tea I used to drink."
Ilena Poyal was not interested in tea, so he picked it up and took a sip, and asked, "Hellen Hermann has called you?"
"It's a fight." Matthew picked up the teacup, looked at Ilena Boyal, and asked, "It's rare that you can think of me in such good things."
Ilena Poyal shrugged, "I have made a lot of money from you recently, so I'm treating it as a discount." Her tone turned serious, "This is the front-page column of Yahoo Entertainment. I have limited power and can only be hung on the page for one day at the moment."
"It's a good day." Matthew seemed quite content.
"Now you are barely considered a hot spot for entertainment." Ilena Poyal glanced at the gate, "When I came here, there were paparazzi squatting."
Matthew joked casually, "It would be bad if they misunderstood you as my girlfriend."
Ilena Poyal didn't care, "Whatever they want, let's discuss the content of the column."
"Yeah." Matthew nodded and asked, "What does Helen mean?"
"She thinks you should report to you personally." Ilena Poyal picked up the teacup and took a sip, "especially to show your positive and hard-working side to the outside world."
After hearing what she said, Matthew had an idea, "Can I do this? I have been working out and boxing and fighting training to prepare for the shooting. Can I take some photos of me entering and leaving the fitness club and working hard in the fitness club and post them to the website?"
"It's totally OK," said Ilena Poyal, thinking for a while, "You've just become a little famous and lack news points. As far as I can see, there's nothing better than these."
Matthew asked, "Do you have time in the afternoon? I'll go to the fitness club in the afternoon, why don't we go together?"
Ilena Poyal shook his head, "It's not possible today. You'd better go to talk to the fitness club owner today. With his consent, we'll go filming tomorrow."
Here we focus on personal rights and interests. Some things may cause trouble. Matthew realized this and said, "Okay, the major shareholder of the fitness club is my boxing coach. I'll talk to him first."
Neborah is not only a coach in the club, but also a major investor.
Ilena Poyal looked at the watch, "Then let's just say that. I'll go to the editorial department later, so I'll leave first."
Matthew didn't even be polite to her and said, "I'll say hello to Helen, wait for my phone call."
He sent Ilena Boyal to the door, suddenly remembered something again and said, "By the way, if appropriate, put my blog in the column report."
"Blog?" Ilena Boyal was a little confused. "You are still updating your blog? No one follows you."
Matthew smiled and said, "Just treat me as a helping."
This is not a big deal, Ilena Poyal responded, "Okay, I'll mention your blog."
Matthew then sent Elena Boyal away, and after he came back, he went to read his blog, but he still looked at the same time as there was no one paying attention to it.
After lunch, he hung up the phone and said roughly that Helen Herman had no objection.
Afterwards, Matthew went to the fitness club in Ximu District to continue his daily fitness and training. Now he is a regular customer and celebrity here. Many people will come to say hello when they are resting.
On the one hand, his fame comes from his actor status, and on the other hand, it is in training competitions.
In recent training matches, except for the professional level of Neborah, all other boxing practitioners in the fitness club became Matthew's defeated men.
In some people's words, Matthew did choose the wrong profession.
