Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!

Hearing Matthew's question, Orlando Bloom immediately made a decision. Matthew knew about it a few days later. There was no difference, but he said it and learned from the media and newspapers. , the difference is big. Fast update without ads.

He can be pushed to the crew and Universal Pictures. An ordinary starlet has no way to ask the crew and Universal Pictures, and this kind of thing also involves the promotion and confidentiality of the crew in the future, even Stephen Sommers , and it is impossible to casually talk about it to people outside the crew.

For example, when the agent negotiated with the crew, a producer on behalf of the crew put forward a condition that the two sides must agree on the slogan, and note the confidentiality clause, claiming that Universal Pictures considered him as the male lead from the very beginning.

In fact, he can understand the purpose of doing this. It is nothing more than to take a fancy to his current popularity and to attract more fans brought by Legolas to pay attention to this film.

In just a split second, Orlando Bloom's head flashed countless thoughts, and then he faced Matthew's question.

"I'm not interested." His voice was very calm, "Matthew, I'm here today. In addition to congratulating you, there is actually one more thing."

Matthew asked cooperatively, "What's the matter?" He said carelessly, "We are friends, if you need help, just say it."

A flash of guilt flashed in Orlando Bloom's heart, "I... um, I received an invitation last month." He glanced at Matthew and saw that he was still trusting, with a little more guilt, Continuing, "Universal Pictures and the crew invited me to play the role of Van Helsing, and Stephen Sommers also invited me to dinner and discussed it."

"Uh..." Matthew was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was Orlando Bloom talking to himself, and asked, "Did you agree?"

"Also..." Orlando Bloom hesitated and said, "My agent is very excited and has been in contact with Universal Pictures and the crew. I know that you are interested in this role and have been hesitating."

What he said was true.

"What are you hesitating about!" Matthew didn't seem to care at all, "Don't hesitate, just pick it up!"

Orlando Bloom looked at Matthew, "Don't you want to..."

"As I told you, the executives of Universal Pictures don't think my appeal is worthy of a $160 million big production." Even now, Universal Pictures still believes that Matthew's fame and celebrity status are the same as this one. The a-List item doesn't match, "My chances of getting the role of Van Helsing are low."

Orlando Bloom's agent, who has been dealing with Universal Pictures, knows that Matthew is telling the truth.

Matthew's tone changed, and he said, "Orlando, the reality is here, if you can get this role, I will only be happy, we are friends!" He said more true than Orlando Bloom. "Isn't that what friends should be like?"

"Yeah." Orlando Bloom nodded subconsciously.

Suddenly, he was full of guilt, because they were friends, and Matthew invited him to be a guest! Because he is a friend, Matthew told him some innermost thoughts and more secret news! Because he is a friend, Matthew has no defense against him at all! Also because he was a friend, Matthew would encourage him to take on this role.

Seeing that Matthew cherishes their friendship so much, and thinking about what he has done, Orlando Bloom only feels very sorry for the friend in front of him.

But these things couldn't be said or shown, which made him extremely depressed.

"Matthew..." All Orlando Bloom's thoughts turned into one sentence, "Thank you!"

"You're too polite." Matthew put on a joking tone at the right time, "I'm still waiting for you to become an A coffee. When you have a friend like you, wouldn't I have more opportunities?"

After speaking, he laughed himself, and Orlando Bloom also laughed.

The two then chatted very speculatively until Orlando Bloom went to Stephen Sommers and several senior executives of Universal Pictures before they stopped.

Not long after Orlando Bloom left, Helen Herman came over. She pulled out the chair and sat in the place where Orlando Bloom had just been.

"Why do I feel like you and Orlando Bloom are always mysterious?" Helen Herman glanced at Orlando Bloom and suddenly asked, "You... don't have anything to do with him. Interested in that?"

"What?" Matthew's eyes widened in surprise, "I'm interested in him? Stop kidding, my sexual orientation is very normal, and will always be very normal."

Although Hollywood is full of gays and bisexuals, he will definitely go on the road of heterosexuality.

Matthew turned to the topic and said, "I got some bad news from my friends, and I was just taking Orlando Bloom's words."

Helen Herman asked casually, "Is it out?"

"Of course!" Matthew lowered his voice and said, "Universal Pictures and the crew have decided that Orlando Bloom will be the leading actor!"

"What?" Helen Herman didn't seem to believe it, "Are you sure?"

Matthew said seriously, "It should be true. Orlando Bloom's agent has already started negotiations with the crew. It is estimated that Universal Pictures will announce it soon."

Helen Herman's voice suddenly became a little low, "I was negligent. I have mainly been paying attention recently and neglected the crew."

"That's fine, too." Matthew took the opportunity to say, "The two crews and roles have conflicts, so let's concentrate on fighting for one role."

"we can only do this."

That being said, Helen Herman still decided to go back and determine if this is true. If it is true, then let it go.

She knows her weight, and it is absolutely impossible for Universal Pictures to change its decision on such a large project.

Helen Herman quickly adjusted her mood and said to Matthew, "There is no publicity announcement behind the crew. After tonight, this job will be over. Forget it, starting tomorrow, we will do our best to tackle it!"

"Okay!" Matthew completely agreed with Helen Herman, "We do everything possible to win that handsome swordsman."

But it’s not so easy to put it aside if you want to. Matthew is easy to say, but difficult to do. After all, this is his first movie as a male protagonist. It was used during filming and later given by the crew as a gift. The prop sword is still hanging in the living room at home.

In addition, the box office is also something he can't help but pay attention to.

By the beginning of June, it had been shown in North American theaters for ten weeks. This typical fast-moving movie had exhausted its theater potential and was successfully withdrawn from the last 100 theaters, leaving Universal Pictures to be eye-catching 1. $15.67 million box office figure.

Only through the North American market, Universal Pictures is enough to recover production costs and publicity expenses, and even generate some meager profits.

In terms of overseas markets, the number of countries and regions that have been screened has increased to more than 80, and the total overseas box office is close to 75 million US dollars. According to the estimates of Universal Pictures, the final overseas box office should be between 85 million US dollars and 90 million US dollars. There is basically no hope of exceeding $100 million.

For Matthew, this is also good news, even if it is 85 million US dollars, it is enough to push the global box office total of 200 million US dollars.

100 million US dollars in North America and 200 million US dollars in the world, for his absolute protagonist, it is very beneficial to the little blacksmith in competition.

These can be directly converted into his capital.

After the release, Universal Pictures immediately released the film's DVD and videotape. Matthew didn't pay much attention to these unintuitive data, but he heard that the sales volume was good.

In fact, it seems very complicated for Hollywood stars to find a job, but the development of the film industry is relatively simple to sum up. As long as it can bring profits to the crew and the film company~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will naturally be popular.

Why do Hollywood studios make movies? Presumably no one would say that it is for art, to improve the cultivation of all human beings and so on, and it is for profit after all.

In addition to the box office, Matthew also paid attention to another thing. At the beginning of June, the crew officially announced that they signed an actor contract with the popular actor Orlando Bloom, who will be the leading actor.

At the same time, it was also confirmed that British actress Kate Beckinsale will play the leading role.

After the heroine of the British Rose, the upward trend is very obvious, and she is climbing from the second line to the first line. If it succeeds, there will inevitably be a new A-star actress in Hollywood.

It's a pity that many stars fail when they enter the first-tier from the second-tier.

Also in early June, Disney Pictures, a subsidiary of Walt Disney, and Jerry Bruckheimer Film Productions jointly held a press conference, officially announcing that they would use the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland as a blueprint to produce the film. A fantasy-adventure action film of the same name with a production budget of $140 million.

Like the same, once such a super project was announced, it caused a strong response and became the focus of attention in the industry and outside the industry.

As we all know, Jerry Bruckheimer has always been a guarantee of success. For actors who want to climb up, being able to ride on Jerry Bruckheimer's ride is definitely a shortcut to becoming popular.

Matthew completely put it to the back of his mind, and together with his agent Helen Herman, began to compete for one of the main roles.
