Back in the back lounge, Matthew got the finalized version of the script from Stephen Sommers, which was the first time he had seen it since Stephen Sommers had been tweaking the plot.

In addition, there is a plan.

"There are some things to say in advance." Stephen Sommers said, "You also need to prepare."

Matthew nodded, "Just tell me."

Although he was very happy and excited to get the male lead, he would not get carried away. Compared with Stephen Sommers and Sean Daniel, his male lead is really nothing.

Stephen Sommers knew that Matthew was a dedicated actor, and said directly, "There are a lot of action and stunt scenes in the shooting, and I need you to do it yourself, so that the camera can shoot the fight scenes as close as possible."

"No problem!" Matthew was full of confidence, "You have seen my performance in the last filming of The Scorpion King. My body coordination is better now than it was then."

"Well." Stephen Sommers nodded, he clearly remembered Matthew's efforts for the role of the Scorpion King, which is also one reason to use him as the male lead, "your role, when filming will involve You also need professional training to use a variety of weapons such as spears, knives, swords and bows.”

Matthew doesn't have any opinion on this. He is also responsible for himself, otherwise he will be easily injured.

Stephen Sommers continued, "The crew is contacting an action director for cold weapons. After other actors are confirmed later, you will receive his professional training."

Sean Daniel came over at this time and said, "It's been a bit more high-profile recently. It's better to attract more media attention. The crew will formulate relevant publicity strategies for you, and you should pay attention to cooperation when the time comes."

"No problem." Matthew made a phone call gesture, "You can call me anytime."

After talking with Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers, Matthew went to chat with the director Chuck Russell for a while. This director has very limited power and is a veritable on-set director. Involved in post-production.

Of course, Matthew will not be involved in post-production either. Apart from the male protagonist, he doesn't have much power himself.

After chatting with the other three people in the lounge, Matthew went out to meet Helen Herman and left Universal Pictures. It was completely different from when he came. When he drove out of the gate of Universal Studios in a car, many reporters took Pointing the camera at the window to take pictures, after the car moved away, several paparazzi riding motorcycles followed.

Matthew was in Helen Herman's car with a dedicated driver in front.

"Just get used to it." Helen Herman also seemed to see the paparazzi behind. "The paparazzi will definitely chase after you recently."

She turned her head and glanced at it, and said, "A male lead made with $40 million is still newsworthy to them."

"It's up to them." Matthew didn't care, "They're just scumbags."

Helen Herman suddenly changed the subject, "If you don't want to be exposed, it's best not to have a tryst with Britney during this time."

Matthew told the truth, "Britney is not in Los Angeles. She's filming an MV recently. Will she be back in a while?"

"If your relationship comes to light," Helen Herman pointedly, "the time is right..."

Before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Matthew, "It's not my business. I'll keep saying that, Helen, let this kind of thing take its course."

Without waiting for Helen Herman to speak, he instead asked, "Who do you plan to recommend, heroine?"

Matthew knew that Helen Herman had some agreements with the crew, such as first-hand rights for actors.

"There is no specific candidate for the time being." Helen Herman thought for a while, and then said, "It's just a list."

"Wait until you have roughly determined the candidate." Matthew was not polite at all, "Can you let me know?"

"Huh?" Helen Herman didn't understand what he meant.

Matthew said directly, "Since you use me as a bargaining chip, I always have the right to know, right?"

He is not stupid, he can guess some things.

"Yes." Helen Herman was obviously not perfunctory. "You are the male lead, now my most important client, and the female lead is your partner. I will call you when there is a candidate."

"When it first came out, I flipped through the script, and there were several intimate scenes between the male and female protagonists." Matthew asked tentatively, "You won't get a black heroine, will you?"

This is what worries him the most.

"Absolutely not!" Helen Herman reminded, "Sean Daniel can't pass the test."

"Yes." Matthew nodded.

Sean Daniel is not against all non-white actors, his conservatives are only for blacks.

The car came to Burbank and stopped in front of the Angel Agency. Matthew didn't go in. He changed his second-hand Ford and was about to go home. When he started the car, he found that the paparazzi behind him were following him again. He was very emotional. Well, I saw the paparazzi rushing to shoot here and waved to them.

In the past, when paparazzi met him, they would at most take a few photos, and they followed him all the way to the door.

Matthew is very clear that this is the halo bonus brought by the crew and the hero of the 40 million film.

After parking the car and returning home with the script and the plan, Matthew moved a chair and sat in front of the window, flipped through the script, and after reading about ten pages, he found this story called, with the scorpion in Wang doesn't have much connection, Stephen Sommers is writing a whole new story.

After he flipped through the script quickly, he quickly concluded the main plot.

The story takes place in the city of Omora in ancient Egypt. The brutal warlord Manon dominated one side. The other tribes in the city decided to form an alliance to deal with him, so they launched several crusades, but they were all defeated by Manon one by one. beat.

Manon is surrounded by a mysterious figure who understands witchcraft. She can foresee the future and use it to help Manon fight. After learning about this situation, the tribal alliance decides to send an assassin to assassinate this mysterious figure.

This assassin is Matthew's character Momoyous. The character is set to be strong, brave and good at fighting. He is a powerful warrior. According to Hollywood's usual routine, when there are warriors, there must be beautiful women, so Momoyous goes deep behind the enemy. When he was about to assassinate the mysterious figure, he found out that the other party was a beautiful woman. Momoyos was deeply moved by the beauty of the woman named Kassandra and could not bear to hurt her. At the same time, she also learned that Kassandra was not willing to do so. Worked for Manon, but was held hostage by Manon.

Then the male and female protagonists got together smoothly, sneaked into Manon's castle with Moryos's friend, and fought Manon's life and death...

The ending is of course a Hollywood-style consummation, which is also in line with the usual routine of commercial films.

In short, this one actually has nothing to do with The Scorpion King, much less a prequel to the series as the propaganda said.

After reading the script, it is not difficult to find that the film actually consists of four main characters, his character Mo Yus, the heroine the wizard Cassandra, the supporting actor Apid, and the villain Mannon.

At present, only one actor has been confirmed for these four roles. The other three actors, Helen Herman, would like to have the Angel Agency contract all of them, but it is difficult to do so.

Before he got the script, Matthew heard from Helen Herman that it was Stephen Sommers who relapsed. Nong was tailor-made by Stephen Sommers for the Asian superstar Pony, but Sean Daniel had a slight contact with the opponent's agent and was rejected.

It's impossible for him to come. Although Brother Ma is not a first-line in Hollywood, when has he ever played a pure villain in his memory?

For the other two roles, the requirements are relatively not very complicated. To put it simply, they are beautiful women and strong men.

Hollywood has never been short of these two types of actors. He has seen quite a few when he was in and out of the Angel Agency.

After simply reading the script, Matthew waited for a detailed study later, and then took a look at the project plan co-produced by Stephen Sommers and Sean Daniel. Although the project is still in the preliminary stage, the two Obviously, a lot of preparations have been made, and some things are different from what he thought~lightnovelpub.net~ For example, the filming location.

Originally, Matthew thought that the crew would be filming the interior scenes in the Pinewood Studios in London, and the exterior scenes would be shot in the desert of Morocco.

But it turned out that he thought too much. Due to the small budget of the film, all the filming of the crew would stay in the United States, the interior scenes were shot in Warner Studios, and the exterior scenes went to the desert of Arizona.

In the absence of tax rebates in the UK and Morocco, this can save a considerable amount of expenses, especially when shooting interior scenes at Warner Studios. Just like Universal Studios has a tourist area, Warner Studios also has them. Up to now, the studio and location of the filming in those days are still preserved, and developed into a tourist project. It has just been renovated recently, and it can be used to shoot this film with a little adjustment.

Matthew was relieved that the filming did not have to run both ways in the UK and Morocco. In the future, Britney will be in the US, so it will be much easier for the two to meet.

For other plans, most of them are the work of the production team and the director team, and they have nothing to do with him, the leading actor. The most important thing for him at this stage is to thoroughly understand the script, control the role, and prepare for the shooting.

The key point is training. From close combat to the use of a series of cold weapons, you don’t need to be proficient. At least you have to look good in front of the camera. Stephen Sommers emphasized the need for strength and beauty, while Not the trick fights that Hollywood has become popular lately.

Matthew is going to study the script and figure out the characters, and practice some role scenes individually.

News about the film has also spread on the Internet and in newspapers and magazines.
