"I have a scandal with you?" Matthew shook his head, "Those guys really have nothing to write about."

Then, he thought that this might be the work of the "Scorpion King" crew. As long as they can win attention, the Hollywood crew's publicity will not be low-level or high-level.

As long as the profits are lucrative enough, it doesn't matter if Ron Mayer, the CEO of Universal Pictures, does it himself.

Irina Boyar was not too worried, she was thick-skinned, and she knew that Matthew was even thicker than herself. This so-called revelation was nothing to a shameless person like him. nothing.

Matthew took out his phone, edited a text message, and routinely notified Helen Herman.

Soon, the phone vibrated, he glanced down, and Helen Herman's reply was sent.

"I see."

The reply was only a short line, and Helen Herman obviously didn't pay attention.

"Let's start." Irina Boyar reminded.

Matthew put away his phone and said, "Okay."

Although it is an exclusive online interview, the interview is still conducted in the form of a dialogue, but there is a special person for input.

Before Elena Boyar asked the question, the person in charge of the photo took a photo of her and Matthew sitting opposite each other, and then sent it to the chat room.

The web interview begins immediately.

"Two trailers of "The Scorpion King" have been released, and there are a lot of action scenes in it." Irina Boyar did not relax because the interviewer was Matthew, and asked seriously, "We You can see that the action scenes have risen to a higher level than The Mummy Returns. How challenging is this shooting? Are you surprised by your performance?"

Matthew answered equally seriously, "If the challenge is not too big, I wouldn't be interested in it at all, and I wouldn't invest so much time and energy in it. Most of the challenges in it are related to physical fitness. I'm fascinated by this type of script. I've seen a lot of movies where Hong Kong filmmakers use fighting to tell their stories, rather than just fighting for the sake of fighting. This kind of script is very appealing to me and I want to try it."

The question was agreed by Irina Boyar and the crew, and the answer was basically finalized by the crew. Matthew repeated the answer in his own way according to the needs of the crew's publicity.

"The crew has great ideas, but good ideas take a lot of effort to realize. You have to go on the right path and be different from others."

Then, Matthew starts the **** again, this **** is to resonate with potential audiences and tell them 'Look, how much work I've put into this film', "So many times, when I get to the set in the morning and even If I can't get out of the car, the parking clerk will wait patiently by the side, waiting for me to slowly move my body out of the car little by little, because my limbs are so painful."

These answers are to highlight him as the male protagonist, "But after that time, I found that my body has really changed a lot, and I can feel that I have become stronger and more flexible. When I realize this At the same time, I have the confidence to increase the intensity in an instant, which can make the film more exciting.”

Irina Boyar and Matthew answered questions, cooperated and lied very seriously and honestly, and many people in the chat room were influenced by their interview.

A netizen called "Like the Mummy" left a message, "This actor is really hardworking, that's what happened in the crew of "The Return of the Mummy", but unfortunately there were only two short action scenes in that film, which wasn't enough fun, this time it's good, You can have a good time watching!"

Another netizen named "Lily Loves Brawny" said: "Have you seen Matthew Horner's stills and fitness photos? This is a real male god! I like it!"

Elena Boyar asked again, "It is well known that you practiced kickboxing when you were shooting this film, is that true?"

"Exactly, I was practicing kickboxing long before filming."

This time, Matthew didn't lie any more, and told the truth, "I started practicing a long time ago, probably after the filming of "The Mummy Returns." I started practicing boxing before auditioning for "The Mummy Returns." The talent in this area is also very interested in these sports itself.”

"No wonder you are so good in the trailer." Irina Boyar praised Matthew at the right time, and asked again, "Did you train with a group of fighters?"

Matthew nodded, "Yes, they are all well-trained people, and they are my very good teachers. They all have their own skills that they are good at, and then they teach me wholeheartedly."

In the chat room, more people crowded in, and Matthew glanced at the number of people online, which had exceeded 50,000.

Elena Boyar continued to ask, "Did you have a particularly impressive moment during the shooting of "The Scorpion King"?"

"The long-shot fight scene designed by the crew is unbelievable!" Matthew pointed his mouth at the camera lens, and when the cameraman took the picture just right, he said again, "That scene During the action scenes, I got a little bit of an injury, and I broke my teeth."

He shrugged slightly and continued to talk nonsense, "Actually, when I was rehearsing for the action scenes of this movie, my teeth were broken. Fortunately, the injury was not serious."

Of course, you can't just talk about injuries, Matthew added, "The entire crew had great ambitions, and they designed several long-lens action scenes that lasted a few minutes. For many people, they didn't even listen to them. Yes. Usually fight scenes are shot into two or three second shots, and then stitched together by post-editing. These shots designed by the crew do not rely on post-editing, nor do they speed up slow motion. The almost actual competition and performance, the reason why the crew did this is because of their trust in my training results."

"Isn't it difficult to shoot a scene like this?" Irina Boyar asked rightly.

"It's very difficult!" Matthew said a little exaggeratedly. "If a long shot of a fight is to be good, the actors must keep moving, and make sure not to turn their backs to the camera. So this process is almost entirely up to me. Come to finish, no stand-ins. I'm very open, because the crew will keep me safe."

The two sides talked about the crew and the film again, and then it was time for netizens to ask questions.

The first netizen to be selected asked, "Your figure looks very good, has it been modified with special effects?"

Matthew saw the problem and said to the entry officer, "Without modification, my figure in the camera is the same as in reality."

The second netizen asked about Matthew's acting experience, "I just checked and found that you have been working with stars and famous directors since your first role. Do you have a special background?"

"I'm just an ordinary actor." Matthew faced the fans, very modest, "I'm from the countryside of Texas, I've been very honored to work with so many people, and if you want to say the reason, it's probably my luck All right."

The question asked by the latter person was a bit sharp, "I heard that Hollywood has measures such as audition room sofas, or special services for directors in exchange for roles. Is this true? Have you encountered it?"

"It's really real."

Similar situations are actually widely circulated in North America, and it is not a secret. Matthew does not deny it. Of course, he will not be stupid enough to mention specific people and things, "I once encountered, a director invited me to a hotel. He discussed the character in his room, and then showed some bad intentions, and when I found out, I left immediately."

After all, this kind of thing is more sensitive, and then the technical staff selected Yahoo Entertainment's insiders as netizens to ask questions. The questions asked were basically related to "The Scorpion King". This exclusive interview was originally for the promotion and marketing of the film.

The interview ended relatively smoothly. With the cooperation of Yahoo Entertainment and Irina Boyar, Matthew did not encounter too many difficult problems.

The content of the exclusive interview was published on Yahoo Entertainment~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then pushed to some print media by Universal Pictures. "The Scorpion King" is about to be released, and Universal Pictures' publicity campaign continues to strengthen.

Whether it is Universal Pictures or the crew, it is actually very clear that the box office means almost everything in "The Scorpion King". Although there are many sources of income for Hollywood movies, if a brainless action movie like this cannot even guarantee the basic box office, Do you still want to expect it to have high revenue in the TV rights, DVD and video tape markets.

That's simply not possible.

The crew also convened a special screening meeting for the media and film critics. Matthew did not participate, but the repercussions after the event were basically praises. Almost all the media reporters and professional film critics who participated in the test screening praised the film...

However, Matthew is not as optimistic as the test results, because Helen Herman made it clear to him that most of these test screenings in Hollywood are all business.

Since it is a business, money can naturally play a key role in it.

He himself did not get involved in this kind of thing. First, as an actor, there is no need for it, and second, his status is far from enough.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire pre-screening promotion plan of "The Scorpion King", he was the marionette in the hands of the crew and Universal Pictures. Thinking about his current status, and thinking about the investment and producer of the film, he is also a puppet. It is not difficult to understand this relationship.

Matthew and Helen Herman have no complaints about it, and at this stage, nothing is more important than the box office hit of The Scorpion King.

The publicity of the "Scorpion King" crew didn't stop there. There were still ten days before the film's premiere. After reaching an agreement with Matthew and Helen Herman, a professional public person accepted the crew's proposal. Commissioned, made a special trip to New York to persuade a key figure in the next publicity.
