Chapter seven hundred and fifty fifth successful people with self-cultivation (today
There was still an hour before the meeting, and the Kyoto Auditorium, which could accommodate thousands of people, was already full. In the front row, the long guns and short cannons raised by media reporters were densely packed like woods. Many of the film school students and ordinary movie fans behind them were holding Matthew's posters in their hands.
In recent years, many movies starring Matthew has been introduced. Perhaps the number of fans trained by the theater is not too many, but the pirated versions are everywhere on the Internet, which really makes many people know the name Matthew Horner.
Now Tom Cruise has not recovered yet. Leonardo DiCaprio is specifically aiming for the Oscar for Best Actor. Brad Pitt's business appeal is mediocre. Will Smith has no more masterpiece since "When Happiness Comes Knocks", and Nicholas Cage has fallen...
Perhaps even Matthew himself did not realize that he was already the most influential business star in Hollywood in the world.
In this market, Hollywood movies can be truly spread nationwide, in fact, large-scale commercial movies, especially action movies.
The most recognized Hollywood stars are also action stars such as Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Tom Cruise.
Even Nicholas Cage, who is inexplicably popular here, is not because he won the Oscar for Best Actor, but because of the series of classic action movies in the 1990s.
This is the real situation of the market. It cannot be changed by holding an Oscar-best actor and saying that he is very talented.
Of course, in the eyes of the academy, Matthew's image may not be very good.
"His acting skills are not good."
An older teacher at the Film Academy sat in a relatively front position and told a slightly younger colleague, "In Hollywood, Matthew Horner's acting skills are just like Tom Cruise. This kind of business star is not very helpful to our teaching."
The younger teacher didn't think so and said directly, "Your words will not be recognized by the students in the performance class." He looked at the newly arranged rostrum of the auditorium, "What the students in the performance class want to be not actors, but stars."
Hearing this, the older teacher was speechless. What are the students in the performance class want? How could these teachers not understand?
"What they want to do is stars," said the younger teacher. "Now, no one in the world who plays movies seems to be more famous than Matthew Horner, right?"
The older teacher nodded. Who else can be said to be the most popular movie star in the world besides Matthew Horner?
He looked back and saw the students of the academy looking at the center of the rostrum background wall and talking about it. Students from other departments were better, while students from the performance department were the most eager.
Anyone can see the envy of Ren.
"Borrow, borrow."
A girl with a ponytail hurriedly ran over. When she saw her friend waved, she quickly smiled embarrassedly and squeezed through the crowd, "Sorry, please go over."
It took a long time to come to her friend.
"Baixue, you're late."
A friend took away the schoolbag from a seat and complained, "Do you know how much pressure I'm taking this seat for you?"
"Aren't you there any traffic jams?" Bai Xue quickly sat down, took out a bottle of mineral water from her schoolbag, and stuffed it to her companions, "Thank you, my Nini beauty."
The girl named Nini is very beautiful. She took the mineral water, unscrewed and took a sip, and said, "I owe a great favor to you, so I asked for these two seats!"
Bai Xue quickly smiled and said, "I know, I know, I will treat you well when I go back."
While talking, she looked around and saw that the auditorium was already full, and now even the corridor was full of people. If it weren't for the cameras in front of several corridors, there would probably be people standing in front of the rostrum.
"Matthew has such a great influence." She muttered, "these people are all here to come to see Matthew."
Nini put away the mineral water and said, "Isn't this nonsense? Matthew Horner! Hollywood superstar! Do you know? My classmates at Communication University are crazy. Many people beg grandma to sue grandpa for contact, just to come in today to see Matthew Horner with their own eyes."
She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Snow Bai, haven't you got Matthew Horner's signature?"
Bai Xue opened the bag, took out the signature book, and said as if showing off, "Look at it, it's very special."
"What's special?" Nini opened the signature book and saw the signature on the first page, widened her eyes, "Is this the signature of Matthew Horner?"
"Yes? Is there a problem?" Bai Xue said deliberately.
Nini shook her head, "Are you mistaken? This is in Chinese! You didn't write it yourself, right?"
Bai Xue said seriously, "This is Matthew Horner's signature."
Nini knew that her friend was not a mysterious person, so she opened her mouth immediately, "He knows Chinese? Are you saying Matthew Horner can speak Chinese?"
This is too incredible, right? With the signature of the blessing in this line, although the handwriting is not beautiful, it can be called regular. How many foreigners can write such beautiful Chinese characters? Especially he is still a Hollywood star!
To put it online, this is too fantasy, right?
"He speaks Mandarin very fluently." Bai Xue's face was full of admiration at this time, "I should not be worse than Dashan."
This kind of worship is not unreasonable. It is not that she shocked a foreigner who can speak Chinese fluently. After all, there are many precedents such as Dashan, so it is not as shocked. Instead, a top Hollywood star who can speak fluent Chinese. What does it mean?
This shows that he has studied the language of this country seriously and liked the culture of this country.
This sense of identity makes people feel from the heart that he is a person to a certain extent, rather than an outsider who is completely from the other side of the Pacific.
Just as Nini and Bai Xue were talking, music suddenly sounded in the auditorium, and the originally sensational discussion stopped.
The famous host Chen Datou walked onto the rostrum. After a regular opening remark, he shouted, "Next, please invite Hollywood superstar Matthew...Horner!"
At the exit of the backstage, Matthew had already finished preparing. When he heard the voice of the host from Datou, he immediately strode to the rostrum, and waved to the lower body while walking with a smile.
The very ordinary slim T-shirt and jeans, plus a pair of sports shoes, can not only highlight the figure, but also look friendly. There is also a sincere and enthusiastic smile on the face, which further shows the masculine beauty of men. These will make people feel good about it.
Matthew instantly left a great first impression.
Warm applause broke out in the auditorium.
"Matthew, is this your first time here?" Chen Datou had a brief exchange with Matthew in the backstage. At this time, she used Chinese. She pointed to the rostrum and said, "Please introduce yourself to the audience here."
The audience looked at the two people on the stage and was a little strange. Chen Datou was said to speak fluently in English. Why did he ask questions in Chinese? There was no personal translation on the spot? Aren’t you talking to this foreigner? Can he understand?
"Hello everyone, I'm very happy to come to the capital city and the capital film school." Matthew spoke very fluently in Chinese, "I'm very honored to be able to stand here."
There was a silence in the auditorium, and many people didn't react.
The older teachers and slightly younger teachers in the Performance Department looked at each other. What is the situation?
The former also subconsciously dug his ears, as if he suspected that he had auditory hallucinations.
The slightly younger teacher tilted his head and looked at Matthew on the rostrum. This is so fucking true. He is just a foreigner with a high nose and deep nose!
Nini was also stunned. She just heard Bai Xue say that she didn't think so, but now she heard it with her own ears. She couldn't believe that Matthew Horner's fluent Chinese is indeed at the level of a mountain.
Speaking of which, some of her classmates at Communication University of China do not speak Mandarin fluently as this Hollywood star.
What's going on?
If he stayed here all year round like Dashan, it wouldn't be surprising. The problem is that this guy is obviously the first time he has come here, right?
Bai Xue looked at Matthew with a smile, then Nini, and then at the others around her who were in a daze, and she was particularly happy.
I thought she was at the airport that day, and it seemed that others were not much better.
My friend next to me, Nini, who is determined to become a big star, isn't she still shocked?
The auditorium was strangely quiet for two seconds. Matthew was very satisfied with the effect and continued to say fluently in Chinese, "I will introduce myself. My name is Matthew, and I will succeed in the horse, and my cultivation is cultivated!"
He said that I was calling, not I was. The meaning of these two sentences gives people a completely different feeling.
Moreover, this Chinese name does not need to be set up at all. It is most suitable to use transliterated characters directly, and it sounds very much like a real Chinese name.
Before coming here, Matthew felt that his name was born with a bit of Chinese affinity.
After saying two fluent Mandarin in succession, many people in the auditorium reacted. After all, there were many foreigners who spoke very fluently in Chinese before.
These people were stunned because anyone would have thought that a big Hollywood star could speak Chinese so well.
Matthew didn't wait for everyone in the auditorium to react, and then said, "My name, in Chinese, probably that's what it means."
He deliberately showed a bright smile on his face and joked, "A cultivating and successful person."
As soon as these words were said, many people at the scene couldn't help laughing.
Matthew asked specifically, "My Chinese level is limited, so it's okay to understand yourself like this?"
Wow
There were laughter bursting out in the auditorium, but the laughter was not sarcasm or mockery, it was all kind-hearted laughter.
"This foreigner is so funny!" said the older teacher, "This explanation is interesting!"
The younger teacher also smiled and said, "This Hollywood star is special. He speaks authentic Chinese and can also make Chinese jokes."
At the back, Nini smiled so hard that she leaned back and forth, covering her mouth and laughed, "I'm so laughing to death! No, I'm so funny, Matthew Horner."
Chapter completed!
