Hearing Matthew's question, Orlando Bloom immediately made a decision. It was a few days or later that Matthew knew about this matter. There was no difference, but it was very different from Matthew's knowledge from the media and newspapers.

He could be completely pushed to the crew and Universal Pictures. An ordinary little star could not ask the crew and Universal Pictures. Moreover, this kind of thing also involves the crew's future publicity and confidentiality. Even Stephen Somos could not talk about it casually to anyone outside the crew.

For example, when the agent negotiated with the crew, a producer on behalf of the crew mentioned a condition that both parties must have a unified caliber and a confidentiality clause was noted, and they claimed that Universal Pictures had considered him as the male lead from the beginning.

In fact, he could see the purpose of doing this, it was nothing more than looking at his current popularity and trying to attract more fans brought by Legolas to pay attention to the film "Van Helsing".

In just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Orlando Bloom's head, and then he faced Matthew's problems.

"Not interested." His voice was very calm, "Matthew, I'll come here today. In addition to congratulating you, there is actually one more thing."

Matthew asked in cooperation, "What's the matter?" He said carelessly, "We are friends, just say it if you need help."

A trace of guilt flashed through Orlando Bloom's heart, "I...well, I received an invitation last month." He glanced at Matthew, and saw that he was still heart-wrenching, and felt a little more guilty, and continued, "Universal Studios and the crew sent me an invitation to play the role of Van Helsing. Stephen Somos also invited me to dinner and discussed this matter."

"Uh..." Matthew was slightly stunned, then he realized that this was Orlando Bloom talking to himself and asked, "Did you agree?"

"And..." Orlando Bloom said with a little hesitation, "My agent is very moved and has been in contact with Universal Studios and crew. I know you are interested in this role and have been hesitating."

What he said was the same as it was.

"What are you hesitating!" Matthew didn't seem to care at all, "Don't hesitate, just pick it up if you should!"

Orlando Bloom looked at Matthew, "You don't want to..."

"I've told you that the senior executives of Universal Pictures think that my appeal is not matched with a large production of $160 million." Even now, Universal Pictures still thinks that Matthew's fame and status are inconsistent with this A-list project. "I have a very low chance of getting the role of Van Helsing."

Orlando Bloom's agent has been dealing with Universal Pictures, and he knows Matthew is telling the truth.

Matthew's tone changed and said, "Orlando, the reality is here. If you can get this role, I will only be happy. We are friends!" He said more like the truth than Orlando Bloom, "Isn't this what friends should be like?"

"Yes." Orlando Bloom nodded subconsciously.

Suddenly, he felt guilty. Because they were friends, Matthew invited him to visit! Because they were friends, Matthew told him some thoughts and more secret information! Because they were friends, Matthew was not at all prepared for him! And because they were friends, Matthew encouraged him to take on this role.

Seeing Matthew cherishing their friendship so much, and thinking about all that he has done, Orlando Bloom only feels very sorry for the friend in front of him.

But these things cannot be expressed or expressed, which makes him particularly depressed.

"Matthew..." All of Orlando Bloom's thoughts turned into a sentence, "Thank you!"

"You are so polite." Matthew changed into a joking tone at the right time, "I'm still waiting for you to become a cafe. If you have a friend like you, won't I have more opportunities?"

After saying that, he laughed himself, and Orlando Bloom also laughed.

The two then had a very speculative conversation, and they stopped until Orlando Bloom went to find Stephen Somos and several senior executives of Universal Pictures.

Not long after Orlando Bloom left, Helen Herman came over. She pulled away the chair and sat in Orlando Bloom's seat just now.

"Why do I feel that there is always a mysterious relationship between you and Orlando Bloom?" Helen Hermann glanced at Orlando Bloom and asked suddenly, "You... won't have any interest in him, are you?"

"What?" Matthew's eyes widened in surprise. "I'm interested in him? Don't joke. My sexual orientation is very normal, and it will always be very normal."

Although Hollywood is full of homosexuality and bisexuality, he will certainly move forward on the straight path.

Matthew turned to the topic and said, "I got some bad news from my friends, just putting Orlando Bloom's words."

Helen Hermann asked casually, "Has it been drawn?"

"Of course!" Matthew said in a low voice, "Universal Studios and the crew have confirmed that Orlando Bloom will be the leading actor in "Van Helsing"!"

"What?" Helen Hermann seemed to be unbelievable, "Are you sure?"

Matthew said seriously, "It should be true. Orlando Bloom's agent has begun negotiations with the crew. It is estimated that Universal Pictures will announce it soon."

Helen Hermann's voice suddenly became a little low, "I was negligent. I have been focusing mainly on "Pirates of the Caribbean" recently and neglected this crew."

"It's good," Matthew took the opportunity to say, "The two crews and characters are already in conflict, so let's focus on one character next."

"That's all."

That being said, but Helen Hermann decided to go back and determine if this is true first. If it is true, then let it go.

She knew her weight and it was absolutely impossible for Universal Pictures to change its decision on such a large project.

Helen Hermann quickly adjusted his mood and said to Matthew, "There is no publicity notice behind the crew of "The Scorpion King". After tonight, the job will be over. Forget "The Scorpion King". Starting tomorrow, we will do our best to guide "Pirates of the Caribbean"!"

"Okay!" Matthew agreed completely with Helen Hermann, "We will do everything we can to win that handsome swordsman."

But it is not that easy to throw "The Scorpion King" aside in one go. Matthew is easy to say, but difficult to do. After all, this is his first movie as the leading actor. He was used during filming. Later, the prop sword given to the crew as a gift was hung in the living room at home.

In addition, the box office of "The Scorpion King" is also something he must pay attention to.

By early June, "The Scorpion King" was screened in North American theaters for ten weeks. This typical fast-moving consumer film had exhausted its theater potential and successfully withdrew from the last 100 theaters, leaving Universal Pictures with a striking box office figure of US$115.67 million.

Through the North American market alone, Universal Pictures is enough to recover production costs and promotional expenses, and even generate some meager profits.

In the overseas market, the countries and regions that are screening "The Scorpion King" have increased to more than 80, with a cumulative overseas box office of nearly US$75 million. According to Universal Pictures' estimates, the final overseas box office should be between US$85 million and US$90 million, and there is basically no hope for more than US$100 million.

This is also good news for Matthew. Even $85 million is enough to push the total global box office of "The Scorpion King" by the $200 million mark.

North America has a US$100 million and a US$200 million worldwide. For him, the absolute protagonist of "The Scorpion King", it is very conducive to competing for the little blacksmith in "Pirates of the Caribbean".

These can be directly converted into his capital.

After "The Scorpion King" was released, Universal Pictures immediately launched DVDs and videotapes of the film. Matthew didn't pay much attention to these unintuitive data, but he heard that the sales were pretty good.

In fact, it seems very complicated to find a job for Hollywood celebrities, but to date, the film industry has developed relatively simple to summarize. As long as it can bring profits to the crew and film companies, it will naturally be popular.

Why does Hollywood Film Company make movies? I believe no one would say it is for art, to improve the cultivation of all mankind, etc., and it is for profit after all.

In addition to the box office of "The Scorpion King", Matthew also paid attention to another thing. In early June, the crew of "Van Helsing" officially announced that they had signed an actor contract with popular actor Orlando Bloom, with him as the leading actor in "Van Helsing".

At the same time, it was also confirmed that British actress Kate Beckinsale played the leading role.

After the heroine of "Pearl Harbor", the British Rose is rising very clearly and is climbing from the second line to the first line. If "Van Helsing" is successful, a new A-camera actress will inevitably appear in Hollywood.

Unfortunately, many celebrities fail when they hit the front line from the second line. Not only is it difficult to enter the threshold of the first line, but they are even hard to guarantee their original position in the second line.

Also in early June, Walt Disney's Disney Pictures and Jerry Brookheimer Film Production Company jointly held a press conference and officially announced that it would use the Pirates of the Caribbean amusement project in Disneyland as a model to produce a fantasy adventure action film of the same name, with a production cost budget of US$140 million.

Just like "Van Helsing", such a super project has aroused strong response once it was announced and has become the focus of attention in the industry and outside the industry.

As we all know, Jerry Brookheimer has always been a guarantee of success. For actors who want to climb up, being able to take advantage of Jerry Brookheimer's ride is definitely a shortcut to becoming famous.
