Best Movie Star

Chapter 748: opportunity

As "Fast and Furious 4" entered the final pre-screening sprint stage, as one of the film's investors and one of the leading actors, Matthew has also become high profile, appearing in multiple media every day, and interviews one after another are overwhelmed , although he did not leave Los Angeles to go abroad, but with Burbank as the media capital, news about him can easily spread all over the United States and even all over the world.

For a time, Matthew became very busy, making frequent appearances in places such as TV stations, magazines, or press halls of famous hotels.

Inevitably, dozens of journalists and paparazzi are always behind him.

Usually, there are a dozen or twenty reporters who always follow behind Matthew, because they can always take pictures of the lace gossip that readers and audiences like to hear.

Now entering the film promotion period, there are more reporters following him.

In order to promote the needs, Disney's ABC TV entertainment channel even sent a small TV broadcast van to follow Matthew directly. As long as there is a need, the latest entertainment news will have Matthew's figure.

Everyone knows that as long as these two films are successful at the box office this year, Matthew is a safe and secure superstar.

And not Pirates of the Caribbean superstars like Johnny Depp, but superstars like Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford.

Looking at the whole of Hollywood, now only Matthew and Leonardo DiCaprio can reach the threshold of superstars.

The latter's commercial appeal is slightly lacking, and after "Titanic", there is also a lack of box office hits.

Only Matthew knew that Leonardo DiCaprio would have to wait a few more years if he wanted to become a superstar. After all, he was the hero of "Inception".

"Matthew, it is said that you witnessed Emma Roberts and Anne Hathaway fighting in London. Can you tell us the specific situation at that time?"

After participating in the recording of a program on NBC, and just walking out of the studio, many reporters flocked to him and kept asking questions.

"It is said that you are dating Emma Watson, is that true?"

"Did you have a one-night stand with Emma Watson?"

Although there were a lot of questions, Matthew was not interested in answering, and, accompanied by a bodyguard, got into a black Mercedes-Benz commercial car.

Brown-Williams was temporarily on leave to replace his bodyguard, John, with the co-pilot, while another bodyguard was in charge of the car.

In Los Angeles, unlike Africa and London, Matthew was largely back on track in North America with two bodyguards shortly after he was cleared from the FBI.

"Go to Burbank." Matthew said directly to the driver, "Go to Angel Agency."

The day before yesterday, Helen Herman approached him to discuss the schedule of the trip across the Pacific Ocean, but she has been running the announcement of "Fast and Furious 4" until today.

This time is really busy, not to mention the small and medium-sized media, just the programs of the four major TV networks and the exclusive interviews of the three major newspapers, all ran one by one.

The Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle turned onto the main road. Matthew glanced back, and a large number of cars and motorcycles followed. This has been the norm recently. Wherever he goes, reporters will follow him, even if he returns to Horner Manor, These people must also be at the door.

What's even more exaggerated is that the OB van of the ABC TV Entertainment Channel has been following him around the clock for almost a week.

Disney has invested a lot in the promotion and marketing of "Fast and Furious 4".

Their last film with Matthew was "Twilight", with a net profit of more than 30 million US dollars.

Matthew is well aware that Disney is quite aggressive in the face of potentially high profits.

Not to mention the promotion in North America, even in overseas areas, Walt Disney has invested a lot of resources. In the face of some seemingly unreasonable requirements put forward by box office stars like him, Walt Disney is doing its best to do it. .

Fast and Furious 4, for example, ran into some trouble across the Pacific.

Although the big scissors basically did not use the scissors in their hands, "Fast and Furious 4" easily passed the trial, but on the side of the importer Zhongying Group, there were some unexpected situations.

Due to policy reasons, the imported films released on the other side of the Pacific, especially the Hollywood sub-accounts, can only be promoted one month before the release. In the early stage of promotion, China Film Group, with a consistent style, gave "Fast and Furious 4" a brand new brand. Chinese name - "Racing Wind and Cloud".

Matthew didn't find it strange when the news reached this point. After all, when a film is translated, it must meet the actual promotion needs of the local market. For example, the animation of Pixar Studio, no matter what the English name means, it is all in the hands of China Film. mobilization.

Also, the later action films of Uncle Nissen, which are vaguely remembered, have Chinese names like "Rescue".

In fact, the name "Car Racing" is not bad, at least it is conducive to the promotion on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

But when Matthew got the news, he called the heads of Disney Pictures and Bowei International, and asked the other party to communicate with China Film Group immediately, and used the English literal translation of the film "Fast and Furious" as the title of the film.

In the words that used to be popular on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, he is building a super "IP", and he is more focused on the future.

Today, the market capacity on the other side of the Pacific is limited, and the box office share is only 13%. The peripheral income is negligible. Among them, there is also the distribution fee of Bowei International. In the end, it is very limited in the hands of Studio No. 13.

Matthew's insistence on pushing the film across the Pacific is, of course, for future benefits.

This "Fast and Furious 4" is more about opening up the market, attracting and building the audience of the series step by step.

As a member of the average movie audience on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Matthew thinks he still has a good understanding of what kind of Hollywood movies most audiences over there like the most.

It's not the best picture at the Oscars, nor is it a Marvel superhero movie, nor is it a high-concept sci-fi movie.

Therefore, the seemingly good name "Car Racing" was directly rejected. From now on, "Fast and Furious 4" will shoulder the heavy task of creating a "super IP" on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Fortunately, "Fast and Furious 4" is a part of the account, and the Hollywood distributor requested to change the name, and after a simple inquiry on the other side, it did not insist on the name of "Car Racing".

The film will be released on the other side of the Pacific under the name of "Fast and Furious 4". In order to really open up the market and create a good foundation for building a "super IP", Matthew will go to the other side of the Pacific with several main actors next week to hold an event. The world premiere of the film.

If all goes well, Matthew feels that starting with Fast and Furious 6 or Fast and Furious 7, the franchise could pay off handsomely across the Pacific.

In the future, there will no longer be the conditions for the good publicity and momentum of "Fast and Furious 7". It is more necessary to speak with movies than before. The stronger the foundation is now, the more people can be attracted, and the future can be expected.

In any case, Matthew believes that in this era of Hollywood, no one understands the preferences of ordinary movie audiences on the other side better than him.

This is where the advantage lies.

The Mercedes-Benz commercial car drove into South Bowei Street, passed in front of Walt Disney Headquarters, passed through the high-rise area, and arrived at a business district composed of low-rise buildings.

This is the location of many entertainment companies such as Angels Agency.

The bunch of journalists and paparazzi who followed him here basically knew that Matthew was going to a brokerage company, but he had no plans to give up following the film. The needs of readers and audiences were their job options.

No one noticed that when the Mercedes-Benz commercial car drove through a T-junction, a Dodge muscle car turned to Nanbo Weiwei Street and mixed into the traffic of paparazzi reporters.

Few people noticed the car, and even the reporters and paparazzi who saw it thought they were traveling together.

These days, there are too many people like them who have been following that Hollywood star for a long time, because the American public loves to read news about him~www.readwn.com~ Just after the Dodge muscle car merged into the traffic, another one Ford followed suit on South Bodega Street.

"It's been two days!"

On the co-pilot of the Ford sedan, a bald head touched his head and muttered, "Finally wait for him!"

He said to the Latino man in the driver's seat, "Keep your distance from the car in front and see if Rodriguez can find a chance to hit it."

The Latino man's face was full of sternness, "Yes, boss!"

The bald head gently touched the modified semi-automatic rifle next to the driver's seat, "That **** ruined my business, I want his life!"

When he was in Tijuana, he spent a lot of material and financial resources, and it took him more than a year to dig a tunnel through the border. As a result, the first time he used it, his subordinates met Matthew Horner, and then not only The tunnel was destroyed, and even his forces were destroyed by the FBI and the Mexican police.

Using the last money to smuggle to the United States, there are only two most reliable little brothers left, but he never gave up. The person who made him go from heaven to **** must pay the price.

Having tasted the taste of spending money like running water, and living this life like an escape, it would be better to die.

However, even if you die, you have to pull a back!

In fact, he came to Los Angeles a few months ago, and then sadly found out that the other party was out of the field, and occasionally came back, and there was an unusually vigilant bodyguard by his side.

There was only one chance to shoot, so he endured it until now.

The black Mercedes-Benz car approached the Angel Agency and parked in the parking lot in front of the company. Matthew just opened the door and hadn't gotten out of the car when the bodyguard John, who got off the co-pilot, suddenly changed his face.

"Be careful!" he shouted to Matthew.

Matthew turned his head and saw that a Dodge muscle car rushed out of the slash and slammed into his Mercedes-Benz van.
