Chapter 162 There Is a Problem with the Poster

Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!

The last shot in the afternoon was a literary drama between Matthew and Duff-Villa. There were a few more NGs, and it was not too early when the shooting was completed. After he finished taking off his makeup, he came to the press officer's office. , and found that everyone was waiting for him.

There are not only the press officer and Helen Herman in the office, but also the producer Sean Daniel. He is in charge of the size of the crew. It is not surprising to see him Matthew, and it is a little surprising that Kelly Hu and her agent are also there. Wait in the office.

Matthew greeted these people one by one and came to sit on the single sofa next to Helen Herman.

"Everyone is here now." The press officer glanced at Sean Daniel, "Let's start."

Sean Daniel didn't speak, just nodded.

The press officer continued, "Everyone, I came to you today because the crew has a publicity plan." He first looked at Matthew and then at Kaili Hu, "I need to ask for your opinion."

Hearing what he said, Matthew couldn't help but be a little curious. The crew made a publicity plan and the actors cooperated. Neither he nor Kaili Hu were big-name stars. When do we need to ask their opinions?

He glanced at Kaili Hu, and Kaili Hu and her agent were also a little puzzled.

The press officer quickly explained, "If we can, we would like to invite Matthew and Kelly to break out their relationship during the pre-screening publicity stage. Of course, the two only need to play a couple in front of the public and the media for the film. Just make news..."

Matthew immediately understood that this was to make them pretend to be a couple and attract attention.

He is not disgusted with this strategy. The film promotion is full of tricks and many things are fake. For example, the last press conference, with Sean Daniel, Stephen Sommers and Chuck Russell Lies together.

But not disgusting does not mean he will agree.

"Can I say something?"

When the press officer stopped temporarily, Matthew interjected, "Everyone, can you listen to my opinion?"

Helen-Hellman glanced at Matthew, and didn't mean to stop it. She knew what Matthew was going to say. This kind of thing was built on a voluntary basis. If the actors did not agree, the crew would not force it.

The press officer looked towards Matthew's side, "Please speak."

Matthew didn't go around in circles and said directly, "Sorry, I can't do this, I have a girlfriend, and I don't want her to have any misunderstandings."

Britney's way of thinking about problems, sometimes he can't figure it out, it's better not to try this kind of thing.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" The press officer was a little surprised.

It's not the first time he's worked with Matthew, when he was a press officer on the set, and he'd never heard of Matthew having a girlfriend.

"Well, it's true." Matthew glanced at Helen Herman next to him. "We've been together for more than a year, and Helen knows it."

Seeing that Matthew didn't want to mention Britney's name, Helen Herman said lightly, "That's true."

The press officer spread his hands and stopped talking. He thought that both parties were single, so he had such an idea. Now that one party disagrees, it is useless to continue.

Kelly Hu quickly said goodbye and left, and Matthew chatted with Sean Daniel a few more times.

Helen Herman is communicating with the press officer. This is an important position for the crew. If the two sides cooperate well, it will also help Matthew's personal promotion.

Afterwards, the press officer took Matthew and Helen Herman to a large office next to him to get the footage shot yesterday so that Matthew could upload it to his personal blog. If he could use the promotion of Angel Agency channel, that's even better.

When receiving the U disk,

Matthew saw the poster template that the crew was designing for pre-promotion. It was not his intention to see it. This was not a confidential project. It was probably to observe the effect.

This is obviously the poster of the film, not the character's individual poster. Although the poster has not yet added text such as the title and actor's name, the images of the main actors have been synthesized.

Matthew took a special look. He, the male protagonist, is in the center of the poster, next to him is Kelly Hu, and then others like Clark Bernard, Duff Villa, and Steven Brand. Actors are on both sides.

"There's something wrong with this poster." Helen Herman frowned slightly.

Needless to say, Matthew also discovered that even though he is the absolute protagonist, he is not prominent in the center of the poster.

But neither of them spoke. This is not the right place. Not to mention that the poster has not yet been finalized, Matthew himself is still present. Once there is a dispute, it will not be good for his relationship with the crew.

The two didn't stay long and left soon.

It was late, and Matthew and Helen Herman quickly left the office area of ​​the crew and found a four-wheeled battery car. Matthew drove to the entrance of the studio.

"If the final version of the poster is still like this..." Matthew said directly to Helen Herman, "I want you to negotiate with the crew."

Helen Herman made no excuses, "I know."

Matthew added, "I still have some ideas about the other actors."

"Let's talk." Helen Herman knew what kind of person Matthew was and was mentally prepared for this, "Don't go too far."

"It's definitely not too much." Matthew turned around, and the battery car entered the avenue leading to the entrance of the studio. "Don't say anything else, even for your sake, I won't care about them."

For the sake of the film's influence on his male protagonist, he couldn't be fooled. The film failed, and the supporting characters were still supporting roles, and his male protagonist was about to die.

A minute later, the battery car stopped at the entrance of the studio, and Helen Herman got out of the car first.

She stood by the car and said to Matthew, "Yes. If the posters made by the crew are still like today, I will negotiate with them."

Matthew's actor contract contains an article that involves projects such as posters and stills of the male protagonist, and his side has the right to make suggestions.

"That's good." Matthew jumped out of the battery car and waved to Helen Herman. "Goodbye, Helen. Have a good night's sleep."

Helen Herman waved at him and walked out of the studio.

Unlike Matthew, who was harassed by reporters, she needed to park outside.

Matthew drove home and uploaded the photos he got today on his blog. These are some photos that the crew would not use. Now his blog has gained four-digit attention, and even some newspapers have reprinted the photos above. and blog posts.

However, like the stills and studio photos of the crew, he can't send them casually, and he must get the approval of the press officer before uploading.

In the next few days, Matthew continued to devote himself to the filming as before, and it was enough for Helen Herman to negotiate if there was a problem.

With the filming in the studio over, the Warners Studios booth needed to coordinate time, and the crew left Los Angeles and went to the Nevada desert to start shooting on location.

In the first scene in Nevada, Matthew was about to be buried alive by the crew.

The crew dug two large holes in the sand, and then buried a specially-made box inside. Matthew and another actor, Duff Villa, stood in the box, and then covered the top, revealing only their head, covered with sand, and the illusion of being buried alive was created.

This is the easiest way, but the actors have to endure a certain amount of sweltering heat, and there is an easier way to shoot directly on the green screen, but it costs more, and the crew obviously needs to save money.

Anyway, there will be no danger, and with various safeguards, Matthew still completes his role according to the crew's plan.

Shooting starts soon.

The bright sun shone on his head, and Matthew's face soon sweated. The sun in the desert was a bit dazzling. He looked down at the front, and on the opposite was a skull, which was very realistic. Carrion-like stuff.

"Great!"

There was a voice next to him, and Matthew turned his head to look over. Duff-Villa, like him, only had one head sticking out of the ground, and said with a smile, "They smoked the fire ants out of their nests to enjoy our heads. ."

Matthew's face was correspondingly nervous, and he looked at Duff-Villa, and then at the fire ant nest that was piled high, and began to struggle.

"Do you think it's funny?" he asked the guy next to him who was laughing.

Duff-Villa looked relaxed, "A little bit. Because I can escape, and you? Just wait to die..."

The filming went well. In one morning, the crew finished filming all the scenes in which Matthew and Duff-Villa were buried alive and escaped. As for the non-existent fire ants, they had to rely on special effects to add them in post-production.

After eating at noon, Matthew, led by a trainer, came to a white dromedary camel. There were a lot of scenes between him and the camel, and he needed to get acquainted with this specially trained camel as soon as possible.

This camel is also an animal actor hired by the crew with a lot of money, and the salary is higher than that of Duff Villa.

Matthew knows a little bit. In Hollywood filming, some animal actors are paid a lot, especially actors such as cats and dogs. Among them, the top ones are definitely paid as small stars.

Frankly speaking, he doesn't like pets very much. It's okay to treat animals as ornaments, and he doesn't like close contact. This is also related to his past life. At that time, he had to work hard for the most basic survival. life and death.

Fortunately, this camel is well-trained and has a docile temperament, and it does not resist letting him ride on it.

This can also reduce a lot of trouble, and Matthew can also practice riding a camel smoothly, not a rushing shot, and no need to use a stand-in.

The filming on Matthew's side in Nevada was basically smooth. Helen Herman, who stayed in Los Angeles, went to the crew and was going to negotiate with the crew about the pre-promotional posters.
