"Stephen Sommers?" Philip Clayston looked at Sean Daniel, "What's his plan."

​​

Sean Daniel said directly, "Stephen Sommers wants to make a spin-off movie about the Scorpion King, similar to the prequel to the "Mummy" series, but in ancient Egypt." He saw silence in the conference room. , and said, "In the past few days, have you seen the feedback from the media? The role of the Scorpion King has attracted a lot of attention."

​​

"It's too risky to upgrade a supporting role to the protagonist!" Jeter Breton immediately objected, "It's better to continue making the sequel to the "Mummy" series instead."

​​

"A sequel can be made." Sean Daniel insisted, "but not now!"

​​

The risk of continuing the "Mummy" series is too great. Once something goes wrong, the box office of the film will be misfired, and the prestige he has finally built up through two successful films will be weakened by most.

​​

Jett Breton asked, "You don't want the actor who is now playing the Scorpion King to be directly promoted to the lead role?"

​​

"He's a very good actor." Sean Daniel didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was clear, "especially for action movies."

​​

"A good actor?" Jett Breton shook his head. "Before The Mummy Returns was released, I hadn't even heard of his name."

​​

He asked with a serious face, "Sean, is he more famous than Brandon Fraser? Or is he more attractive at the box office?"

​​

The answer to this question is obvious.

​​

Sean Daniel didn't answer Jett Breton, but said, "Everyone, I want to remind you that Hollywood is a place of rapid change! For the film market, Brandon Fraser is becoming a thing of the past. He is like the sun that is about to set! Unlike Matthew Horner who plays the Scorpion King, I think he is the rising sun..."

​​

"The words of film critics and professional critics in the media are not accurate..." Jeter-Bretton added, "I think everyone knows very well that they are far from the audience of entertainment movies."

​​

Sean Daniel wanted to speak, but was stopped by Philip Clayston. The production director asked him, "How far is Stephen Sommers' plan?"

​​

"The post-production of "The Mummy Returns" is completed, and the script is being written." Sean Daniel thought for a while, and then said, "What he means is that after the script is completed, it will be submitted to Universal Pictures together with the plan. However, The Scorpion King was unexpectedly popular, and we decided to expedite the process."

​​

"I stand by my opinion!" Jett Breton's idea is very simple, "Instead of taking a risk on a new actor, it is better to let Brandon Fraser continue to star in the "Mummy" series."

​​

"The company's capital flow and resources are limited, and it is impossible to operate two similar films at the same time, and risk aversion does not allow us to do so." Philip Clayston considered for a while and said, "Let the market speak, I will Contact the market research department and ask them to hire a special research agency to conduct a survey on the cinema audience.”

​​

The market response of the film in the past two days gave Sean Daniel confidence. He said, "Okay."

​​

Now that Philip Clayston has made a decision, others have no objection, and the decision was quickly implemented.

​​

"It's not hard to find out from "The Mummy Returns" that Brandon Frazier can only play handsome, not acting at all. This is obvious. Among the actors in the film, he is the most famous and has the most roles, but he Let rookie actor Matthew Horner, whose role and reputation are far inferior, suppressed, and the supporting role played by Matthew Horner, the Scorpion King, received a strong response from the audience..."

​​

Seeing this, Brandon Fraser threw away the newspaper in his hand and slapped the table sharply. His chest was full of anger, but he didn't know how to vent.

​​

He picked up another newspaper, which also had a commentary on "The Return of the Mummy".

​​

"Brandon Fraser is old and fat, and the fights in the film are clumsy and slow, like an overweight penguin... The best action scene in the film, played by Matthew Horner A fight of the Scorpion King, the action is realistic and fierce, full of violent beauty..."

​​

"Shit!" Brandon Fraser grabbed the newspaper and tore it in half. "It's all shit!"

​​

He just couldn't understand why all these rotten people in the media were talking ill of him and praising Matthew Horner for the stinky feet of that unknown person. Matthew Horner is so good? Isn't it just a little younger, a little more handsome, a little thinner, a little more muscular, a little more flexible, and a little more diligent?

​​

Besides these, what else does he have? Does he have a reputation of his own? Do you have your own brilliant qualifications? Do you have your own acting skills? Does it have its own box office appeal?

​​

Brandon Fraser picked up the newspaper on the ground, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash. He never believed that he would be stole the limelight by a small supporting role, so he simply went to the computer and went to the Internet to read the comments of the fans .

​​

When the first "The Mummy" was released, fans gave him countless praises, which is the foundation of a movie star.

​​

Without work for a day today, Brandon Fraser simply turned on his computer and successfully landed on a movie forum, where movie fans gather. Occasionally he would come to see it. When "The Mummy" was released, it was in There are countless positive reviews for him on this site.

​​

After a little browsing on the forum page, he found the "The Mummy Returns" section, clicked to enter, and then saw a series of positive comments about... The Scorpion King.

​​

"The most impressive thing in the whole film is the Scorpion King."

​​

Brandon Fraser's eyelids twitched, and there's a lot more behind.

​​

"The biggest surprise for me in this movie is Matthew Horner who plays the Scorpion King. Although he is not as strong as Schwarzenegger, he looks really sturdy!"

​​

"A normal sequel, Rachel Weisz is as beautiful as ever, Brandon Fraser is much worse than the first one, and the Scorpion King is the only surprise."

​​

"I really don't like Brandon Fraser. Two years have passed, and I haven't made any progress, but it's even worse! Also, the actor of the Scorpion King is a bright spot, with a face, shape and temperament!"

​​

"The performance of the 'Scorpion King' is acceptable, and the rest can be ignored!"

​​

"The Scorpion King looks good, but he doesn't need to be beaten."

​​

There are some **** comments in the back.

​​

"I really want to feel the muscles of the Scorpion King."

​​

"Seeing Matthew Horner's abs and rocky face, I feel better than..."

​​

Brandon Fraser didn't want to watch any more, closed the page, and fell into thinking, is Matthew Horner so conspicuous? It's ironic to think about what happened between him and himself during the shoot and at the premiere.

​​

The boss is going to be killed by the younger brother!

​​

The phone rang suddenly, Brandon Fraser stood up to find the phone, and found that it was a call from his agent.

​​

"Anything?" Brandon Fraser was sitting on the sofa and answered the phone. Because he was in a bad mood, he spoke a little rushed, "Didn't I say that I have a rest today, it's better not to come over and disturb me?"

​​

The agent doesn't seem to care about his tone at all. The star is always temperamental and said on the phone, "I just learned from the executives of Universal Pictures that Universal Pictures may cancel the shooting plan for the next film of "The Mummy"!"

​​

Brandon Fraser stood up abruptly, "What?"

​​

His face is full of disbelief. The box office of "The Mummy Returns" has exceeded 50 million US dollars in the first two days of the first week. Various agencies predict that it will be easy for the North American box office to break 200 million US dollars. If such a film does not launch a sequel, Universal Pictures' Are all the high-level heads flooded?

​​

"Are you sure?" He subconsciously doubted the news.

​​

"Very sure!" The agent vowed, "The production department of Universal Pictures just convened a meeting this morning to discuss this issue."

​​

Brandon Fraser frowned, "What are they thinking?"

​​

There is basically no suspense about the big sale of "The Return of the Mummy". Originally, he thought that the third part of the series, like the second part, would be released soon, so that he, the leading actor, would also have the money to call Universal Pictures a top salary offer. Thus becoming a member of the twenty million dollar club!

​​

"Sean Daniel thinks that you have dragged down the reputation of the film and suggested that the production of the third film be postponed." The agent said a lot in one breath, "He and Stephen Sommers are preparing to jointly prepare a spin-off of the 'The Mummy' series. The film, intends to create an ancient Egyptian epic war film with the popular Scorpion King in "The Mummy Returns" as the protagonist."

​​

"Mentioning Matthew Horner?" murmured Brandon Fraser. "How is that possible? He's just a little actor..."

​​

The agent added, "Universal Pictures hasn't made a decision yet! Brandon, the current bosses of Universal Pictures' production department are divided into two factions, led by Sean Daniel, who think you are out of breath and don't want to take you for granted. Continue to launch a new movie of "The Mummy" for the protagonist, and should instead create a new project with the Scorpion King as the protagonist! Another faction believes that Matthew Horner is not famous and appealing~www.readwn.com~ should continue to use you to shoot A new sequel."

​​

Brandon Fraser breathed a sigh of relief. He hasn't decided yet, so he still has a chance to enter the $20 million club.

​​

As Mr. 10%, the agent is quite positive, and said on the phone, "Brandon, there is no decision within Universal Pictures yet, we have to act and push Universal Pictures to set up a new sequel to The Mummy as soon as possible. , I will go to Universal Pictures to lobby, Stephen Sommers still has a contract with Universal Pictures, as long as Universal Pictures makes a decision, he must comply! It's a big deal to change the director! You also have to join forces with the main actors such as Rachel Weisz , to exert appropriate pressure on Universal Pictures."

​​

Brandon Fraser gradually calmed down and sat back on the sofa, "I know what to do!"

​​

The agent also warned, "Since the stock market turmoil last year, Hollywood has been struggling to get financing, and Universal Pictures will not have a very strong cash flow in a short period of time. They have passed the film with the Scorpion King as the protagonist, and the sequel of "The Mummy" 80% will be rejected. Cut it off."

Almost at the same time, Helen Herman drove off Interstate 5 and came to a quiet road, slowing down to find Matthew's place. )!!
