Standing at the door of the Angel Agency, Matthew looked at the seven or eight reporters in front of him without any intention of dodging. Helen Herman was notified by Universal Pictures at noon at noon, and he also watched NBC TV and The video of Rex Reed's interview published on the Internet knows to cooperate with Rex Reed's remarks.

He and Rex - Reed have no personal conflict, everything is for publicity needs.

And from the previous response, the effect of this publicity hype is very good.

Matthew also gradually realized that in this era when the Internet has not completely exploded, the public does not know very much about Hollywood's propaganda methods, and it is relatively easy to be affected by this special hype.

Looking at these reporters, he knew what they wanted to ask.

"Matthew Horner..." A short male reporter stood up and asked first, "Did you deliver a donkey to Rex Reed?"

"Yeah." Matthew admitted first, then added, "Didn't he want to kiss the ass? I picked one just for him."

Another female reporter asked at this point, "Rex Reed just said this morning that if The Scorpion King doesn't make $10 million in its opening weekend, he'll give you the donkey back and let you Kiss the **** ass."

Matthew could not show weakness at this time, and he had to cooperate with the propaganda needs of the crew. He said confidently, "I don't mind taking a gamble with him! I have confidence in the crew and the film!"

He said everything he needed to say, he didn't stop, he got in the car and left.

Wednesday is over, and early Thursday morning, Matthew and Rex Reed's mutual confrontation appeared on many entertainment media, triggering a small upsurge, and the number of people paying attention to "The Scorpion King" continued to rise, although the film has been The freshness of the lifted Rotten Tomatoes has dropped to 63%, but it is full of topics and there is no lack of attention.

Even, a professional investigation agency predicts that the box office of "The Scorpion King" is very likely to break through the $30 million mark in the first weekend.

Moreover, he also gave his own basis. First, there are no strong competitors in the April schedule, and second, the promotion and marketing of the film is extremely well done.

Whether the prediction is in line with reality will be evident from the advance screenings starting Thursday night.

On Thursday night, "The Scorpion King" began to land on major theaters in North America with nearly 3,300 theaters in advance. According to the North American box office calculation method, the advance games will be included in the box office of the first weekend.

How about the box office in the first weekend, the early stage can be said to be a barometer.

In the middle of the night, in the office of Angel Agency, Helen Herman stood in front of the huge glass window, looking at the night scene of Burbank, without saying a word.

Not far behind her, Matthew was sitting crookedly on the sofa, holding his phone and playing Tetris.

He raised his head and glanced at the wall clock. It was already early in the morning. It was estimated that the statistics of the early game were coming out soon. He couldn't help but look at Helen Herman. The female agent stood motionless in front of the window. General sculpture.

Matthew took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in his heart due to waiting, and continued to play his Tetris, but his slightly trembling fingers pressed on the keyboard, making consecutive mistakes, and the game ended in a blink of an eye.

How can you not be nervous at a moment like this that decides your future destiny?

Matthew let out another breath and put away his phone.

Helen Herman seemed to be aware of it, looked back at him, and quickly turned back, hiding his face under the old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses, cool and expressionless.

Tonight will decide her strategy for Matthew Horner going forward.

After two consecutive years of investment, if you can't even make a star, this person has no future at all and can be abandoned completely.

If it is successful, you can take advantage of the situation to get the protagonists of the other two big productions, so that the angel brokerage company has a super customer such as a second-tier star or even a first-tier star!

She knew that Matthew Horner was born with good capital, but there was no guarantee that someone with good capital would be successful.

After Matthew put away his phone, he came to Helen Herman's side, and looked out the window with great interest. He couldn't be more clear about what kind of person Helen Herman was. Will he be able to stand together and enjoy it in the future? Burbank's scenery, see you tonight.

Of course, this is a professional agent. If you switch to other agents, you will make the same choice as Helen Herman.

They stood together for fifteen minutes, but they still didn't come over.

The anxiety in Matthew's heart swelled again, and he couldn't help asking, "Are you sure you said hello to Sean Daniel? Let him notify you after the preliminary box office statistics come out? Wouldn't it mean to wait for the accurate box office to come out? Bar?"

Cinemas in the United States use a unified networked system. The box office data of the day is collected very fast. Generally, after midnight, the preliminary box office statistics of the previous day can be obtained. However, there are always errors. Or until noon.

Helen Herman glanced at Matthew, but did not speak.

"Would you like to make a call and ask?" Matthew muttered again.

This is directly related to his future, and the boring waiting is not good.

"If you want to call..." Helen Herman turned her head and gestured behind her, "The phone is on the desk, and you have Sean Daniel's number too."

Matthew didn't go to the desk, took out his phone, and hesitated to call Sean Daniel.

Helen Herman's cell phone suddenly rang, and Matthew saw that she was on the phone, put away his phone, and turned to look at Helen Herman.

"Hi, hello, it's me." Helen Herman still had the same expression, listened for a while, and said, "Okay, I understand, thank you for waiting to inform me so late."

She hung up the phone and put away her phone.

Matthew had been staring at Helen Herman, and the face under the black-rimmed glasses seemed to relax...

"How much?" he asked quickly.

Helen-Hellman said directly, "The preliminary count is $3.4 million, and the exact figure will not differ by $100,000."

Hearing the figure of 3.4 million US dollars, Matthew really breathed a sigh of relief. Helen Herman had analyzed it before. Like "The Scorpion King" under the banner of "The Mummy" series, it is not the first or original type of film. The box office will be slightly higher. The total box office of the following first day, including the early box office, will generally be between three and five times the number of the early box office. Except for very rare cases, most films will meet the This law has been accumulated by Hollywood for a long time.

Even triple that would be close to or over $10 million!

The box office on the first day is 10 million US dollars, and the box office in the first weekend is almost certain to be more than 20 million US dollars!

According to this calculation, even if the later stage is extremely poor, the North American box office of "The Scorpion King" should reach the production cost of 40 million US dollars. Judging from the current situation of Hollywood movies in overseas markets, if there are overseas box offices to help out, it will pass alone. The box office may pay for itself.

In this way, even if the film "The Scorpion King" is a success, his status as a leading actor in the industry will definitely rise a lot.

These speculations are based on the fact that the film did not perform well after the first day. If the trend of "The Scorpion King" can be stabilized a little bit, and it doesn't plummet on Saturday, then... it will not be so wonderful.

If this is the case, he will definitely become a third-rate little star, break away from the category of ordinary actors, leave the bottom of the Hollywood pyramid, and become a member of the relatively higher level.

"Congratulations, Matthew." Helen Herman said suddenly, interrupting his thoughts, "You are getting closer and closer to your goal."

"Haha..." Matthew laughed, cheeky and ignorant of his conscience, and said, "I told you a long time ago that I was born to be a star, right?"

Helen Herman ignored his words. She knew what kind of person Matthew was. Even if he was very proud, this guy would not lose his head.

She snorted coldly and added, "Get ready, your life is about to change dramatically."

Matthew has been looking forward to today~www.readwn.com~ put away his smile and said, "I've already prepared."

Helen Herman glanced at him, "I hope so." She turned away from the window, pulled out her chair, sat down, and said, "We'll renew a new contract with a maximum duration of three years!"

Matthew thought about it and said, "Okay, let's talk about the specific terms."

Although he was overwhelmed, he knew that he still needed an angel agency. Now "Scorpion King" is about to succeed. In the angel agency, he will become the number one client that no one can shake. Helen-Hellman and the company All the advantageous resources will be given priority to him.

It is very difficult to enjoy this kind of treatment if you change a brokerage company rashly. If you go to a large brokerage company, you are just one of many ordinary customers. If you change to a small brokerage company, you might as well stay here.

"Our old contract expires at the end of the year, we can talk slowly." Helen Herman also showed sincerity, "If you sign a three-year long-term contract, my agent's commission will be reduced from 10%. to eight percent."

"Well." Matthew turned and walked towards the door, "I feel your sincerity, Helen."

He opened the door and prepared to go home, "Go to bed early, you will have dark circles under your eyes if you stay up late, and your glasses can't stop it."

Helen Herman would obviously be in a good mood, and said deliberately, "Don't be too happy too early, we don't know what will happen tomorrow, and anything can happen."

Matthew turned around, closed the door and said, "Actually, you know better than me, that possibility is almost non-existent."

The office door was closed, Helen Herman was sitting in a chair, and there was no one else in the office. She took off her glasses and laughed uncontrollably.

Laughed very happily, and laughed very happily.

She's finally starting her own business!
