Best Movie Star

The sun had just turned over to the sea, and the sky had not yet turned dark. Five people from Red Penguin Services had already started busy. A cook set up a barbecue in the corner of the yard, and his assistant handled various foods, from Meat, vegetables and fruits are available, and the other three are setting up the yard, placing a wooden round table in the middle of the lawn with a variety of drinks.

Liszt, who personally led the team, came to the door and said to Matthew, "Come and see if you are satisfied?"

Matthew put down the phone in his hand, walked out of the room, looked at it roughly, and raised his thumb at Liszt, "Red Penguin is still so professional."

Standing next to Matthew, Liszt smiled and said, "You know, we always provide the best service."

"Yeah." Matthew has worked in this company, of course he knows, "So, when I throw a party, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Red Penguin."

Liszt glanced at Matthew. Compared with more than a year ago, this person has undergone tremendous changes. He seems to have lost a little weight, but he looks stronger. He is full of confidence and has the kind of temperament that belongs to a successful person.

Who would have thought that a little driver would actually make a fortune in Hollywood.

Since he reconnected with Matthew, he has collected news and information. Universal Pictures invested 40 million US dollars in the big production actor, which is already a pretty good resource in Hollywood. As long as the film can recover the cost, it is not even a loss. Too many, and Matthew Horner would have no problem being a starlet even if he opened up his fame.

Unlike those onlookers, Red Penguin mainly provides services for the rich and Hollywood. He has a certain understanding of this circle. Even a small star means a surge in income, not to mention a man who starred in a $40 million production and became famous. main character?

Think of Johnny Lee Miller, the original company's big client. The only work that can be remembered is "Trainspotting", which is still a supporting role. The result has been gnawed until now, and now it is still cool and comfortable, throwing it every year. The money to Red Penguin is also $100,000.

The one the company developed into a client in the first place gets a cut of more than $10,000 a year from Johnny Lee Miller.

Thinking of this, Liszt looked at Matthew with some eagerness. He specifically asked people in the circle to ask that the actor's salary in "The Scorpion King" is as high as 500,000 US dollars, which can top his salary for more than ten years!

Matthew walked around the yard, and Liszt stayed by his side. Compared to the beginning, their positions were completely reversed.

However, Matthew didn't mention anything from the beginning. Those were all gone, and Liszt didn't do anything too much to him. If someone else stayed in his position at that time, it was estimated that they would all act as a spectator. bystander.

This is just a portrait of the most ordinary person struggling in the Los Angeles workplace.

"I watched the trailer of "The Scorpion King", and so did my son." Liszt said suddenly, with obvious ingratitude in his words, "Very good! I will definitely take my son to the theater to support you!"

"Thank you!" Matthew thought of one thing and said, "If you really want to go, I can help you get two premiere tickets."

In addition to a few premiere guests, he, the actor, has ten tickets to the premiere of the film.

But Matthew didn't have so many friends who weren't from Hollywood. In addition to giving it to Nie Bola and the swordsman coach, he still had five cards left in his hand.

Liszt immediately said, "I want to go!" He didn't care, his son really liked the trailer released, "That kid will definitely be happy!"

The two happened to arrive at the door of the house, and Matthew asked Liszt to wait for a while, then entered the house and gave him two tickets for the premiere of "The Scorpion King".

This can be considered a reward, after all, when he left the Red Penguin Company, Liszt helped him to some extent.

Liszt got the tickets and talked with Matthew again. The time was getting closer to five o'clock in the afternoon. He looked at his watch and asked tentatively, "Do you need a female model to increase the atmosphere of the party?"

Hearing this, Matthew immediately remembered the scene of picking up those female models, this is not just to increase the atmosphere!

He was a little itchy, but still shook his head, "No, this is a party with a female companion."

"Yeah." Liszt didn't mention it again when he heard about bringing a female companion, and said, "It's getting late, I'll take someone out first. If you need anything in the future, feel free to call me."

Matthew smiled and said politely, "I will, thank you, Liszt."

When five o'clock arrived, including the chef, Liszt left here with everyone.

Matthew came to the grill and looked at the food and the grill that the chef had prepared. He didn't need to cook too much. After the guests arrived, he could just ignite and grill.

Before six o'clock, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender came together, and both brought gifts for Matthew, James McAvoy was a bottle of champagne, Michael Fass Binder is an exquisite porcelain ornament.

Matthew was not polite to them either, and accepted all the orders.

"Why do you suddenly have such a party?"

Sitting at the round table in the center of the yard, James McAvoy asked Matthew curiously, "Aren't we going to bars all the time?"

Like James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender knew something about Matthew. "Is there a secret?"

"I said I'm going to take this opportunity to pick up girls." Matthew deliberately joked, "Do you believe it?"

"Cut..." Michael Fassbender immediately cast a disdainful look, "Don't you have a girlfriend? Although it's almost like not..."

James McAvoy said solemnly, "Yeah, isn't your girlfriend coming?"

Matthew shrugged, "She's not in the US, she's on a business trip to Europe." He changed the subject and said seriously, "You two listen to me, if I say something about movies at the party, you guys As if I didn't hear it, it's all my lies."

Michael Fassbender wondered, "What do you want to do?"

James McAvoy responded, "It's definitely not a good thing."

"It's really not a good thing." Matthew said seriously, "James, Michael, you are my guests tonight, so pure and simple."

"Did someone offend you?" Michael Fassbender asked with a serious face, "Don't forget, we are comrades fighting side by side."

Matthew smiled, "No one provokes me, I need your help, I will definitely say, you two eat and drink tonight, don't take what I say to heart."

He didn't want to pit his two friends.

Seeing Matthew emphasize this point one after another, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy nodded earnestly.

James McAvoy also changed the subject and asked, "Matthew, how much do you expect 'The Scorpion King' to do in North America?"

Matthew shrugged, "Of course I want the North American box office to exceed 100 million!"

In Hollywood, a leading actor with a box office of 100 million dollars in North America is completely different from a leading actor with a box office of tens of millions of dollars. Even if the difference between the two may be only millions of dollars in box office, it will bring completely different effects.

"Is there any hope?" Michael Fassbender asked.

"It's hard!"

I once saw those big-budget commercial films in Hollywood often earn more than $100 million at the box office in the first weekend. It felt normal. Now that Matthew is in this circle, he knows the difficulty. "I think the North American box office can exceed the production cost and publicity investment. Okay."

He also discussed this issue with Helen Herman. According to the general situation in Hollywood, as long as "Scorpion King" can have a box office of 50 to 60 million US dollars in North America, plus overseas markets, as well as TV broadcast, DVD and videotape Selling and leasing, Universal Pictures is not difficult to recover the cost, the rest is the question of how much profit.

Universal Pictures has direct distribution companies in many countries and regions in the Western world. The box office share in these markets is lower than that of North America, but it is not much lower. The real box office share is the kind that relies on the introduction and distribution of third-party companies. Markets, such as the current across the Pacific ~www.readwn.com~ Hollywood movies' box office share is only 13%.

Of course, according to Matthew's speculation, "The Scorpion King" cannot enter the market on the other side of the Pacific in a split-account situation. I just don't know if Universal Pictures can sell off the screening rights to them.

In fact, Matthew still very much hopes that his first film as the leading actor can enter the theater across the Pacific Ocean, and that kind of subtle psychology is difficult for outsiders to understand.

The three sat in the yard and chatted about work, and Matthew also learned that James McAvoy had signed a contract with the cast of "Dune Castle" and was going to be the leading actor in this TV series, Michael - Fassbender is also gearing up for the British TV series The Witch, and will be back in London soon.

The two men are full of jobs for the next two years, and there is no time at all.

At 6:30, Ben Foster also arrived, and Matthew introduced him and Michael Fassbender. As for James McAvoy, they are all old acquaintances, together in "Black Hawk Down". "The crew stayed.

After another ten minutes, Orlando Bloom also arrived. Unlike the previous three, he brought a female companion.

"Legolas and the beautiful Princess Arwen walked out of Middle-earth and came hand in hand..."

Facing Orlando Bloom and his female companion, Matthew deliberately learned the British accent from "The Lord of the Rings" and said, "I'm... honored."

"Fuck you!" Orlando Bloom patted Matthew's arm and then introduced to everyone, "This is Liv Tyler, a good friend I met on the set of The Lord of the Rings."

Matthew shook hands politely with Liv Tyler and introduced James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Ben Foster to her and Orlando Bloom.

The BBQ party kicked off immediately.
