Chapter 184 The plot with bad reviews and the male protagonist with good reviews

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

The programmatic press conference ended. Matthew came to the side door of the temple auditorium. Before he could go out, he heard the bustling discussion outside. Without going out to watch, he knew that there were reporters outside.

Fortunately, the temple auditorium was experienced in dealing with this situation. After the car that picked up Matthew came, four security personnel immediately protected Matthew and rushed out of the door. Before the reporters realized, Matthew got into the car.

If it were the past, he would definitely take the initiative to accept the siege of reporters because it would be beneficial to the promotion of the film, but the crew released enough information tonight, so much that the media needed to digest for two days, so he didn't need to do anything extra.

But these reporters who are not qualified to enter the temple auditorium cannot get what they want and are reluctant to leave easily. They blocked Matthew's car and just refused to give way.

To be more precise, these reporters were paparazzi, with thick-skinned enough that they could not move even if the driver pressed the horn of the car.

"Be patient." Helen Hermann tilted his head and looked ahead, "I hope you are ready."

Matthew sat in the car seat safely and asked, "What preparations are you going to be surrounded by journalists and paparazzi after becoming famous?" Without waiting for Helen Hermann to answer, he said, "I have been waiting for this day for too long, which is a pleasure for me."

Helen Hermann turned to look at him, knowing that Matthew's thinking was different from that of ordinary people.

Matthew opened his hands slightly, closed his eyes, and deliberately showed an expression of enjoyment.

In fact, he really enjoyed the feeling now.

A few months ago, even though he begged for media interviews, few people paid attention to him. Now, even if he hid in the car and didn't come out, a large number of paparazzi still took the initiative to surround him.

Five minutes later, with the assistance of the security personnel in the Temple Auditorium, the car finally broke out of the encirclement and slowly drove onto the Avenue of Stars. Matthew turned his head and took a look. There were obviously cars and motorcycles following behind, and the paparazzi did not give up.

He suddenly thought of something and turned to Helen Hermann and said, "Those plans must have seen you. I want to follow behind and see what the relationship between us is."

Helen Herman ignored Matthew at all and said to the driver directly, "Send me to the Angel Agency in Burbank first."

The black Mercedes-Benz sedan was soon parked on the side of the road where the Angel's agency was located. Helen Herman got out of the car, leaving only Matthew to continue on the bus north.

Ten minutes later, Matthew returned home. After taking a shower, he went to the attic of the house and took a look. Under the dim street lights outside, he could vaguely see cars and motorcycles parked near the door. It seemed that the paparazzi were going to stay here all night and were not going back.

Matthew went down the attic, turned on the computer, and went to Rotten Tomatoes and Imdb to check it out. These two websites have not yet been unblocked to the ratings of the video, and it is estimated that they will not be available until tomorrow.

At the premiere just now, Universal Pictures also invited many well-known film critics to watch the film in accordance with the industry's practice. These film critics are different from the previous internal preview, and are relatively fair. Although film critics have long become a business, these people also cherish their feathers and often have their own reputation and long-term plans.

According to Helen Hermann, these well-known film critics will not easily accept money from film companies, nor will they be impressed by small profits. Their columns and reputation in the industry have certain commercial value.

Matthew knew very well that when these critics' reviews came to the newspaper tomorrow, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes will be lifted.

As for imdb, he has not specifically studied it, and he is not very clear about the scoring rules of this website.

As midnight approached, Matthew went to the attic to look again and found that the paparazzi outside had not left yet, and seemed to be unable to shoot the big news, so he refused to leave.

What these paparazzi like to shoot is about gossip and scandal, but unfortunately, Matthew has basically nothing to shoot in this regard.

Britney ran a notice in Australia and would go to New Zealand afterwards and would not return to Los Angeles in a short period of time.

Thinking of Britney, Matthew went down the attic and found his cell phone to call Britney. If it weren't today, the two hadn't been on the phone for three days. Due to the time difference in other places, he and Britney had very little free time, so it was difficult to get together.

This time he still didn't call Britney, so he simply edited a text message and sent it to Britney.

It was not early, and after waiting for more than half an hour, Matthew simply went to rest. Although he didn't need to run an announcement tomorrow, he couldn't sleep too late. If he had dark circles, facing the media footage in the next few days would be a problem.

When he woke up the next day, Matthew called for breakfast and took out, and asked the other party to help him bring the mainstream newspapers and entertainment newspapers on the market.

When the takeaway arrived, he entered the restaurant with a bunch of newspapers and enjoyed breakfast while reading news related to "The Scorpion King".

The first is the film review columns in some major newspapers distributed across the United States.

After looking through some newspapers, Matthew has a general understanding of the above film reviews. Generally speaking, the good and bad account for almost half of them, and the good and bad reviews are a little more than the bad reviews.

LA Times critic Kenneth Tulane commented: "The Scorpion King" offers plenty of sensory stimulation of cartoon-like violence, harmless exotic eroticism and excellent action scenes.

He also specifically mentioned Matthew, believing that the outstanding performance of the male protagonist's movements is the most exciting part of the film.

On the contrary, the San Francisco Recorder criticized the Scorpion King: The script of the film is unsatisfactory, the story looks a bit pale, and the dialogue is not very consistent with the background of the times.

However, the newspaper also mentioned Matthew's male lead and was praised: Matthew Horner's male lead looks extremely dazzling in such a mediocre film. It is his rock-solid handsome face, smooth lines and excellent fighting that make the whole film no longer so boring.

The New York Times, the most influential North America, doesn't really like this film: the plot is very single, funny and not powerful, the outdoor scene is not shocking, and there are no mummies or monsters. The length of 90 minutes also fully demonstrates that it is a low-cost production, purely in the "Mummy" series of cold rice. The only highlight is the combination of the macho and beauty of Matthew Horner and Kelly Hu.

The Washington Post, one of the three major newspapers in the United States, commented slightly better on the film: The action scenes of "The Scorpion King" are exquisitely designed. The three long-shot action scenes in the opening, middle and ending also show the crew's ambitions. The male protagonist Matthew Horner almost perfectly grasped the essence of these three long-shots and dedicated several classic action scenes. Although the male protagonist's literary scene is not as outstanding as the action scenes, it is also rare for the whole film.

Then, Matthew flipped through several newspapers and found that no matter whether it was a positive review of the film or a harsh bad review, he criticized him as the male protagonist. Even if he had the worst comments, he said that he had successfully completed his work, but his performance in the literary drama was a bit unsatisfactory.

Most of the comments in the newspaper believe that his male lead's appearance and action scenes are the most prominent and attractive part of the film.

The criticism is concentrated on the plot of the film and the relationship between the positive and negative factions.

To be honest, Matthew also believes that the plot of the film is indeed very old-fashioned, which is also Stephen Somos' usual style and a common way to avoid risks in Hollywood.

If this kind of pure commercial entertainment film is too tortuous and profound, it is a burden.

The crew was very clear from the beginning that the selling point of "The Scorpion King" was not in the plot at all.

After breakfast, Matthew flipped through all the newspapers, turned on the computer and looked at it. It was similar to what he expected. The freshness of "The Scorpion King" on Rotten Tomatoes has been lifted. Among the forty reviews included on the website, 26 were positive and 14 were negative, and the freshness reached 65%.

However, the average score of the video is low, only 6.2 points, just passing the exam.

In the movie reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, Matthew saw bad reviews about his male lead: Matthew Horner's acting skills seem "a bit stiff" to me, and it seems that it is better to beat a bad guy than to show a realistic smile.

Matthew scratched his head a little, but when he said that he would be more difficult to shoot action scenes that seemed to be much easier than literary scenes.

After exiting the Rotten Tomato website, he went to ImDB to check it out again and found the column "Scorpion King" and found that due to insufficient number of comments, the imdb score of the video has not been released yet.

He deliberately dragged the web page down, found the comments that the movie fans had left, and browsed them.

Compared with professional film critics, fans have a more tolerant attitude towards "The Scorpion King" and have higher evaluations.

A movie fan named "Like Mummies" left a message like a diehard fan: To be honest, I was called by him for the first time when I saw Matthew Horner in "The Return of the Mummy". His developed muscles and toned figure are comparable to the gods in Greek mythology. In the trailer, I already saw her unparalleled beauty. These two people are a must-see even if they are a movie without acting skills.

Another movie fan called "Crazy Two-in-One" also likes this movie: Matthew Horner is so cool. As a man, he must be such a person. He dares to face difficulties in life and also rely on his own efforts to create a world. I have always believed that a good work can change a person's view of the world. As a movie for men, it is worth recommending.

Just as Matthew was hiding at home and looking through the praises he received, a special car from FedEx drove out of the forwarding center in New York and headed towards an address in the suburbs.
