Chapter 225: Standing on the side of the crowd
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
After leaving the makeup trailer, Matthew and Kayla Knightley originally wanted to take advantage of Johnny Depp's opportunity to attract reporters and sneak away, but Disneyland was having a carnival, and there were too many reporters nearby. Before they could get into the car, they were blocked by reporters and paparazzi.
"Matthew Horner, Keira Knightley!"
A reporter asked loudly, "There have been news that you are in love, is it true?"
This was not in the plan formulated by the crew and the agent. Of course, Matthew would not admit it, but he did not deny it. He wanted to leave after he parted the reporter.
Another reporter pointed the question at Kayla Knightley, "Miss Knightley, there were critics who criticized your role in the previous films, saying that you performed stiffly and expressionlessly. What do you think?"
"What?" Kayla Knightley glared.
Matthew and Kayla Knightley had been together for a long time and knew her a little, so he quickly pulled Kayla Knightley.
By this reminder, Kayla Knightley was not very dizzy at all, and she woke up instantly, saying, "I have been making movies for the past few years and spend all my time changing a person. If you can see the whole world and portray characters in this way, your character will be constantly changing. I think that's my goal."
The reporter was not giving up and asked again, "What do you think of the negative reviews of some film critics?"
"I won't read their articles." Kayla Knightley looked at Matthew. "A friend like Matthew is more suitable to evaluate me."
Hearing this question, the reporter immediately changed his target and opened fire on Matthew again, "Matthew, can you talk about your relationship with Miss Kayla Knightley?"
Matthew took Kayla Knightley to the car and said as he moved, "Kela is a very outstanding actor and a good friend..."
He talked a lot of nutritious nonsense, then approached the car, and with the help of the driver, he first stuffed Kaira Knightley into the back seat of the car, then broke through the reporter's siege and got in.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Even though he wasn't in the car that picked him up, Kayla Knightley urged, "Go away quickly!"
The car was still not fast. It took a long time to walk out of the area where Disneyland was located. Matthew looked back and there were paparazzi riding a motorcycle following him. What was even more excessive was that paparazzi from two cars came to the side of the car. The person in the back seat picked up the camera and took photos in the car window.
Kayla Knightley grimaced at the other side, "It's so annoying!"
Matthew reminded, "They can't take pictures inside."
A special car film was pasted on the car window, and only people could vaguely see inside from the outside, and the specific situation could not be taken clearly.
Perhaps the paparazzi also discovered this and quickly left the side of the car, but they followed him not far or near. Matthew also knew that he had been forcibly rumored by the tabloids before, and now "Pirates of the Caribbean" has entered the publicity period again, and the two have become more attractive to the media and movie fans, so the paparazzi must follow him.
"Kaila, where are you going?" Matthew asked.
"Go to the hotel." Kayla Knightley also looked back and asked Matthew, "Will there be any trouble if Depp extorted Michael Eisner?"
Matthew thought for a while and said, "This depends on whether "Pirates of the Caribbean" can succeed."
Kayla Knightley looked at him, "Hmm?"
Matthew explained, "If the film is successful, what is this little thing? When filming a sequel in the future, Disney will beg Depp to act in the sequel. If the film fails, Disney will suffer heavy losses, and Michael Eisner may settle the accounts."
He added, "This also applies to both of us."
Kayla Knightley suddenly asked, "Do you think the video will succeed?"
"You'd better wish it success," Matthew said seriously. "If "Pirates of the Caribbean" fails, Depp can continue to be his Hollywood quirky, Tim Burton will continue to use him, and we both..."
He shook his head, "It's going to be finished."
The two discussed the situation of the movie until the car parked in front of the hotel where Keira Knightley was staying.
Before getting off the car, Kayla Knightley said, "I'm going to celebrate my 18th birthday next week."
Matthew nodded clearly, "We are going to become boyfriend and girlfriend."
Kayla Knightley didn't hesitate to Matthew at all and asked, "Have you thought about a gift for me?"
"You think..." Matthew deliberately dragged his tail tone and said, "How am I?"
"Forget it." Kaira Knightley opened the car door. "I'm going to hire someone to throw it into the garbage dump, which is not cost-effective."
She got out of the car and walked towards the hotel door without looking back.
Matthew watched Kayla Knightley enter the hotel before letting the driver drive away. The car headed towards Burbank, and he considered Kayla Knightley's words.
According to last year's agreement, after Kayla Knightley turned 18, the crew would choose a suitable opportunity to disclose the so-called relationship between the two and gain attention by hyping scandals, thus achieving the effect of 1+1 greater than 2 between the actors and the film.
For this promotion, he has been completely empty for the past few months, and even declined the secret date of Rachel McAdams.
This is not what he is afraid of being photographed by reporters. If he does secretly enough, he can avoid reporters and paparazzi. After all, he is just one of many little stars like sand in Los Angeles.
On the contrary, Matthew was worried about Rachel McAdams himself, who had fully realized that the disappearance of Rachel McAdams two years ago with the innocent Rachel McAdams disappeared without a trace, and replaced it with a mature Rachel McAdams who was determined to climb up.
As long as it is profitable, it is not surprising that Rachel McAdams sold him.
It doesn't matter at other times. In this special time period, it will undoubtedly bring a lot of trouble. The agreement he signed with Keira Knightley notes the relevant terms, and a liquidated damages of up to three million US dollars will be required.
Although Rachel McAdams is very skilled and makes him enjoy it very much, this kind of enjoyment is definitely not worth the loss of three million dollars.
In the following days, Matthew worked together with the promotional plan formulated by Disney Pictures to build momentum for Pirates of the Caribbean.
Although there are still a few months before the film's North American release date, even if the summer season begins, the promotional battle for Hollywood commercial blockbusters this year was kicked off as early as the Super Bowl in early February, and various Hollywood film companies are smashing promotions for the super-large productions they promote this year.
For example, Warner Bros., the posters, advertisements and promotional videos of "The Black Underworld 2: Reloading" are almost overwhelming.
Matthew met Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron at Johnny Depp's bar. Unlike the last time he met, Charlize Theron had gained more than two rounds of weight, and his eyebrows were all shaved. It was not enough to describe it as a destruction of his image.
From Keanu Reeves, he learned that Charlize Theron was preparing for a film called "The Devil", a film tailored for the Oscar for Best Actress.
When Matthew saw Charlize Theron working so hard for the Oscar Little Golden Man, he was not moved, but he was still scared. If it were him, would it be worth it to destroy his image in order to win an Oscar trophy?
He shook his head firmly in his heart. Just think about such a terrifying thing. If you really want to do it, forget it.
When he came to America, Matthew's greatest capital was his extremely excellent health.
And to be strict, mainstream Hollywood movies are divided into two categories: one is commercial films prepared for the general public, and the other is award-winning films specially prepared for the old men and critics of the academy and a small group of movie fans. The former takes care of the tastes of most audiences as much as possible, and the latter is tailor-made for the old men of the academy, that is, the old men of the academy.
In Matthew's perception, the winning films tailored for the Oscars may not be more advanced than the films prepared for the general public.
Having said that, after his understanding over the past few years, he has also seen what 99% of the award-winning films really look like. He has to take care of the tastes of middle-aged and elderly white judges, reflect Hollywood-style political correctness, play abnormal roles as much as possible, and actors with good appearance must destroy their own image and spend a lot of money to do public relations...
How much does the typical characteristics of these Ao movies have to do with art? In essence, like commercial movies, they are all to cater to the preferences of a group.
Although there may not be a say in many people, Matthew thinks that the more crowded parties will definitely contribute more box office, and the income he can get will be much more, so he will definitely stand on the side of the crowd.
As for the best actor in the Oscar, it is not Matthew's narcissism. With his appearance, coupled with his average acting skills and the type of famous films, if you really want to pursue Oscars, the future path will probably be even more difficult than Little Little.
By the way, Little Lizi and pork shredded together later, and they could sink a Titanic again. Could it be that he would also change that way?
So, let’s forget it, Oscar Little Golden Man or something, let it go.
Maybe one day, the old men in the film school cramped their heads and asked him to take away an Oscar little golden man with the action movie?
Anyway, those old men went to have too many cramps, otherwise there would be so many Oscars and the Water Emperor.
Of course, these are all Matthew's own random thoughts. He knew that this possibility was very small. Looking at the history of Hollywood, how many actors have won performance awards for their protagonists in action movies?
