Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

As the sun just hung up into the sky, a red Chevrolet sedan turned into Burbank Third Street and parked in front of a small building. A tall girl dressed in a girl next door got off the passenger seat, shook her hand at the window, and said loudly, "Goodbye, Mom."

"Goodbye, Taylor."

A blonde middle-aged woman in the driving seat started the car and left here.

After waiting until the car disappeared, Taylor Swift turned around and walked towards the small building. When he passed by the newsstand, he asked for a copy of the Los Angeles Times and then entered the small building.

This is the branch of Big Machine Records in Burbank. The company's headquarters is in Nashville, the music capital of the United States. Taylor Swift's first album was in a country style. From preparation to practice to recording, it was completed in Nashville. After the recording was completed, Big Machine Records specially sent Taylor Swift to Los Angeles.

Angel City is an entertainment center across the United States, and it is easier to attract media attention here.

Taylor Swift entered the company and went directly to a lounge. He was going to rehearse some scenes of MV today, but she came a little early.

Sitting on a comfortable sofa chair, Taylor Swift stretched, opened the Los Angeles Times, and quickly browsed the current affairs news. Seeing that he was not interested, he immediately found the entertainment page, and then on the front page of the entertainment page, he saw the scene he saw with his own eyes last night.

"Pirates of the Caribbean set sail again..."

To the right of the news title is a large picture, with Matthew Horner standing in the middle, holding Kayla Knightley and Johnny Depp in both hands, and the Pirate Iron Triangle smiled brightly, as if telling the world how deep their friendship is.

Taylor Swift attended the premiere last night and knew that these three were real friends, not common disagreements in the entertainment industry.

She looked at the three people in the photo and the text reports next to her, and remembered the scene last night, and suddenly realized that Matthew Horner, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley appeared together. Media reporters seemed to like it very much. Judging from the full range of praise in the newspaper today, it seemed that the effect of the three people listing it alone was much better.

"Scott Pocheta said that the media, especially entertainment media, are all about readers' preferences when reporting." Taylor Swift is a very smart girl, and immediately thought of more, "Does the public like to see the sincere friendship between celebrities?"

She tilted her head, thought for a while, and muttered to herself, "If my first album is okay, I will be a little famous. At that time, I will find someone similar to me to be friends with me, and often go around in front of media reporters if I have nothing to do. Can I increase the exposure?"

At the age of fifteen, Taylor Swift met Scott Pocheta who left DreamWorks to start a business. Scott Pocheta served as the executive officer of DreamWorks. You can imagine his understanding of Hollywood. He is very optimistic about Taylor Swift's potential and believes that Taylor Swift is outstanding among the same age group. In the past year, in addition to hiring professional talents to teach Taylor Swift in music, he has also instilled her with a lot of basic knowledge in the entertainment industry.

Taylor Swift is very smart. This intelligence is not limited to music, but can also draw his own conclusions through independent analysis of what he sees and hears.

Then, she thought more and more.

Taylor Swift stared at the newspaper, but his thinking was not in the newspaper at all. She firmly believed that she would definitely become popular. If she became a popular singer, she would have some capital to form a friend at that time... No, form a group of best friends with beauties for herself, and then take them together and hold the streets for no reason. At that time, a large group of star-level beauties will walk together, and entertainment reporters will definitely go crazy, and I believe the public will also like it.

Of course, she is the most famous of these people. If someone becomes more famous, then kick it away.

Thinking of this, Taylor Swift withdrew his thoughts and continued to look at the newspaper in front of him. "Pirates of the Caribbean" is obviously a hot news, and there are also the latest comments on the entertainment page.

"The logic of the story is much worse than the previous work. Perhaps the production of sequel box office is inevitable. However, although there are many scenes that cannot be self-consistent and over-emphasize the comedy effect, the overall narrative is still smooth enough to skip some minor problems. The visual wonder created by a large number of CG intervention also makes up for the plot shortcomings to a certain extent. The direct resurrection of Barbosa at the end of the film is obviously preparing for the third part."

This review comes from the Los Angeles Times critic Kenneth Tulane and Taylor Swift just watched the movie last night. He feels quite pertinent. The plot of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Casket" does seem to be a bit problematic, but the film has more highlights, which is enough to cover up these problems.

The knock on the door suddenly rang out, and Taylor Swift looked up at the door of the lounge and said, "Please come in."

The door opened from outside, and Scott Pochetta walked in and saw Taylor Swift holding the newspaper in his hand and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"The Los Angeles Times," Taylor Swift raised the newspaper and said, "The news about Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Casket that we watched last night."

Scott Pochetta became interested and sat on the sofa chair next to Taylor and asked, "How much is the early box office of the film?"

"I don't know." Taylor Swift shook his head.

Scott Pocheta pointed to the newspaper in her hand, "It should be mentioned."

Taylor Swift searched for the entertainment version, stopped quickly, and said, "There is, it's $18.5 million."

"How much?" Scott Pocheta was a little surprised.

"$18.5 million." Taylor Swift repeated.

Scott Pocheta was stunned for a moment before saying, "There are so many?"

Taylor Swift looked at him curiously.

Scott Pocheta had served as the executive of DreamWorks and had a great understanding of the film industry. He immediately explained that "$18.5 million has set a new midnight box office record in the North American film market, and the original record was $16.9 million in "Star Wars Prequel 3: The Revenge of the Sith."

Taylor Swift could understand what this sentence means, "Will the final North American box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Casket" surpass "Revenge of the Sith"?"

"There should be a great probability." Scott Pocheta gently patted the armrest of the chair. "Everyone knows that this Pirates of the Caribbean will explode, and now it seems that there will be a super big blow."

Taylor Swift knew that Scott Pochetta had worked in the film industry before and couldn't help asking, "How much do you think the box office will be in the first week?"

"It's very likely that $150 million is." Scott Pocheta said.

"Uh..." Taylor Swift scratched his face and muttered, "So much."

Scott Pocheta sighed, "If DreamWorks could have helped Jerry Brookheimer cooperate..."

He couldn't help but shake his head. Jerry Brookheimer has worked with Walt Disney since the mid-1990s. It was almost impossible for DreamWorks to poach, but another person slipped away from DreamWorks...

Thinking back then, Matthew Horner was starring in "Brothers" in DreamWorks and HBO, and it really entered the horizon of some directors and producers. Unfortunately, no one in DreamWorks realized its commercial value.

If there were several movies starring Matthew Horner, which were produced and distributed by DreamWorks, DreamWorks would definitely not be in the current situation.

"Matthew and Johnny Depp are very popular." Taylor Swift was still reading the newspaper, "there are all praises for them."

Scott Pochetta came back to his senses and said, "Jerry Brookheimer's casting was particularly successful. Johnny Depp and Matthew Horner's shortcomings and advantages are very obvious. The two complement each other just in a good way. Captain Jack Sparrow will become a Hollywood classic."

Hearing this, Taylor Swift asked strangely, "Isn't Will Turner?"

Scott Pochetta shook his head and said, "Will Turner is also very good, but it is still a little worse than Captain Jack Sparrow. The most outstanding person in this series is Johnny Depp."

He changed his tone and said, "However, Matthew Horner's works are more diverse. In addition to "Pirates of the Caribbean", he has also proved his appeal in other different films. In fact, the film industry generally believes that his future is better than Johnny Depp."

Taylor Swift's eyes kept blinking, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he said, "Will Matthew become a superstar like Tom Cruise?"

"No one can guarantee this." Scott Pocheta thought for a while and said, "From his current momentum, if the next few movies do not fail, there will be a chance."

He looked at his watch and reminded, "It's almost time, it's time for you to go to the dressing room."

"Yeah." Taylor Swift put down the newspaper, stood up, and before leaving the lounge, he said to Scott Pocheta again, "Can you help me collect some information about Matthew Horner? I think he is quite interesting."

Scott Pocheta glanced at Taylor Swift and nodded slightly, "Yes, I'll send it to your email tomorrow."

Taylor Swift showed a bright smile on his innocent face and said, "Thank you, Scott."

"You're welcome." Scott Poche knew that this was a very smart girl.

The lounge door was closed, and Taylor Swift did not go to the dressing room immediately. Instead, he stood in the corridor without moving, and his head turned quickly. If he could invite a star of Matthew Horner to sing for his first album, the publicity effect would definitely be very good.
Chapter completed!
