​​

Next to the tree-lined road, in front of a detached house with a courtyard, a black Mercedes-Benz car slowly approached, and finally stopped at the door. Helen Herman turned to look at the house number and confirmed that he was not in the wrong place. Pushing the door and getting out of the car, he came to the iron gate and rang the doorbell. The door quickly opened from the inside, revealing Matthew's face.

​​

"So soon." Matthew let Helen Herman in and said, "I thought you could come after a while."

​​

Helen Herman followed Matthew through the courtyard. He didn't answer his words. Instead, he looked around until he entered the living room, and then said, "The house is very good, and the rent of one thousand dollars is very good."

​​

"Sit whatever you want." Putting Helen Herman on the sofa, Matthew went to two glasses of water, handed her a glass, and said, "There has been a murder here, so the rent is cheap."

​​

Helen Herman suddenly felt a chill on her back, she quickly put down the water glass, and glanced at Matthew unconsciously, what's inside this guy's head?

​​

Matthew thought Helen Herman was scared and comforted, "Don't worry, the murder scene is in the yard outside."

​​

"Let's talk about work." Helen Herman didn't want to dwell on this kind of goosebump issue, and got down to business, "I got word from Universal that Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers are in the Planning a new movie in the Mummy franchise."

​​

Hearing this, Matthew didn't find it strange at all. The first week of "The Mummy Returns" was a big hit at the box office, and the final box office would not be bad either. It's strange that Hollywood companies don't make sequels.

​​

However, I vaguely remember that the third part of "The Mummy" was a long time ago, and Jet Li also played the big villain, like Qin Shi Huang or something.

​​

"The new project is about you," Helen Herman said, seldom hesitating and secretive since she listed Matthew as her number one client, "Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers are going to The Scorpion King as the protagonist, making a film."

​​

"Really?" Matthew felt as if a pie fell from the sky and hit his head, "So I can be the hero of a movie?"

​​

This is the protagonist! He dreams of being the leading actor in a Hollywood movie!

​​

Helen Herman then poured cold water, "Don't be too happy, the current plan for this film is still in the hands of Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers, and Universal Pictures has not yet confirmed the project! Universal Pictures Internal opposition is also strong."

​​

"Why?"

​​

If the opponent is here now, Matthew can directly strangle him, "Didn't Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers work together on two hit "The Mummy"?"

​​

"So, there's another voice within Universal to continue making the 'Mummy' sequel." Helen Herman took a sip from a glass of water. "They strongly disagreed with Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers. new projects that are considered too risky.”

​​

"The Scorpion King I starred in has died." Matthew immediately thought of the key, "99% of the sequel has nothing to do with me, the little bit of fame and repercussions that the Scorpion King has accumulated will soon be exhausted. If I want to find the next opportunity to be the male lead, I don't know when I will wait."

​​

Helen Herman nodded slightly, "That's right." She added, "Once a new sequel to The Mummy is established, Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers are unlikely to have the energy to devote themselves to another project. , and now Universal Pictures' capital flow is not very sufficient..."

​​

Matthew understood what she meant and asked, "What can we do?"

​​

"I will go to see Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers, keep in touch with them, and push them to continue recommending this project related to the Scorpion King." Helen Herman looked at Matthew, "On the other hand, you With your character, if the Scorpion King is really popular and you can open up a certain amount of popularity, this project will definitely squeeze out the sequel to The Mummy!"

​​

She lifted her black-rimmed glasses and said to Matthew very seriously, "You will participate in a series of promotional and marketing activities for "The Mummy Returns" next, and I want your best performance!"

​​

"I know." Matthew sat opposite Helen Herman, "Is there anything else to pay attention to?"

​​

Helen Herman thought for a while and continued, "We are definitely not the only ones who got the news. Matthew, once this project about the Scorpion King takes place, it will touch the interests of many people, especially the actors who are on the same crew as you! You... ..." Her eyes instantly became vultures, "You have to pay attention to them!"

​​

Matthew immediately remembered something, "Rachel Weisz told me one thing, if The Mummy Returns is a big hit, Brandon Fraser intends to ask Universal Pictures $20 million for the sequel. reward."

​​

"You should pay attention to both of them." Helen Herman's cell phone rang, she hung up after a few words on the call, and added, "The market research department of Universal Pictures has contacted a number of research companies. , conduct market research on this matter.”

​​

Matthew asked, "What can we do?"

​​

Helen Herman looked at the time, "I'll make an appointment with Irina Boyar later. I'll talk to her about the details later."

​​

He and Helen Herman discussed in the living room for a full hour and a half. It was not until the sun went down that Helen Herman was about to leave.

​​

"If this film can be approved, and I am the leading actor, what if it fails at the box office?" Matthew suddenly thought of this question, "What will be the consequences."

​​

Helen Herman said coldly, "For at least five years, you won't want to be the protagonist, or even an important supporting role."

​​

Matthew sent her away, and stood at the door of the house watching the black Mercedes-Benz go away, guessing that Helen Herman had something to say behind him. If he really wanted to be like what he said, it is estimated that the Angels agency would not treat him as such. important customer.

​​

Pulling out a supporting role as the protagonist of the film is definitely not a small risk. No wonder Universal Pictures is so cautious. Matthew also knows that opportunities come with huge risks, but there are advantages and disadvantages in this world. No chance?

​​

When you go to the supermarket to queue up to receive free gifts, you will be trampled on your feet...

​​

The male protagonist...

​​

Matthew looked up at the sea, the sun was about to disappear, and from tomorrow... no, from now on, he will make every effort to seize this opportunity! A chance to be the hero!

​​

Although this may upset the well-connected actors of "The Mummy Returns", it is impossible for him to pass up such an opportunity just to make people happy.

​​

Rachel Weisz is okay to say, she mentioned before that she doesn't want to participate in this type of film anymore, and is going to move to the awards season, and it doesn't matter that other actors have a limited amount.

​​

The most important thing to pay attention to is Brandon Fraser. Now that "The Return of the Mummy" is very likely to sell well, it is estimated that he very much wants to enter the ranks of the 20 million club. Once the sequel to the "Mummy" series is interrupted, The business is bound to suffer.

​​

"I don't know if Brandon Frazier has any news..." Matthew turned to go home and closed the door. "We will participate in many activities together in the future."

​​

Universal Pictures worked very efficiently. On the afternoon of the end of the meeting, the market research department contacted a number of survey and consulting service companies. In large cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston, many professional investigators appeared at the screening at night. In the theaters of The Mummy Returns.

​​

In New York, at the Emperor Entertainment chain on Twelfth Avenue in Manhattan, a show of "The Mummy Returns" has just ended.

​​

The young Christensen had been guarding the entrance for a long time. As soon as he saw the crowd coming out, he immediately shouted, "Questionnaire! Questionnaire! There are prizes! There are prizes! It only takes two minutes!"

​​

Some people heard his voice and stopped and came around.

​​

Christensen has already greeted the theaters, and it is very common to conduct such surveys in theaters, and many audiences are also willing to participate.

​​

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen fans gathered around him.

​​

Christensen sent questionnaires and small gifts to these fans one by one. The questionnaire is very simple. Which character in "The Mummy Returns" is your favorite, there are five options, namely O'Connor, Evelyn, Imorton, Alex and the Scorpion King.

​​

Two minutes later, Christensen took the questionnaire back and rushed to the exit of the other cinema. Since it was still showing there, he opened the 12-point questionnaire and selected three of O'Connor's. Evelyn has three, Immorton has two, Alex has one, and Scorpion King has three.

​​

He then put away the questionnaire and continued his work.

​​

Los Angeles, Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, in a chain of cinemas owned by AMG, five young men and women walked in the aisle of the screening hall, walking outside together with the crowd, discussing the movie they just watched as they walked .

​​

"I feel that O'Connor is getting old~www.readwn.com~ The lead boy said, "The fight was not great, and all the action scenes combined, it's not as good as the opening scene of The Scorpion King. "

​​

The girl behind him gleamed, "The Scorpion King is so stylish, so cool!"

​​

"Hmm! Hmm!" Another boy echoed, "The film is a bit disappointing, especially in the end, Ansuna gave up Immorton, which is inexplicable. Fortunately, there is Scorpion King, he is so good, if only I had such a figure. already."

​​

A few people walked out of the theater, and the boy at the front said, "Someone is doing a questionnaire, let's participate too."

​​

He was the first to receive a questionnaire and a pen with a strange shape. After filling out the questionnaire, he returned the questionnaire and the pen could be left as a reward.

​​

"What is the content of the questionnaire?" the last boy asked.

​​

The person who got the questionnaire answered, "Which character in "The Mummy Returns" is your favorite!"

​​

"That's needless to say." The girl said, "Scorpion King of course!") Download the free reader!!
