After the programmed press conference ended, Matthew came to the side door of the auditorium of the temple. Before he even went out, he heard the hustle and bustle of discussions outside the door. He didn't need to go out to watch, he knew that it was crowded with reporters.

Fortunately, the auditorium of the temple has a lot of experience in dealing with this situation. After the car that picked up Matthew came over, four security personnel immediately rushed out of the gate to protect Matthew. Before the reporters could react, Matthew got into the car. in.

If he changed to the past, he would definitely devote himself to accepting the siege of reporters, because it is beneficial to promote the film, but tonight the crew broke enough material, so much that it takes two days for the media to digest, and he does not need to do anything extra. .

But these reporters who are not qualified to enter the auditorium of the temple, can't get what they want, they are willing to leave easily, and they are blocked in front of Matthew's car, but they will not give way.

These reporters, or more precisely, the paparazzi, are thick-skinned enough to stand still despite the loud noise of the driver's horn.

"Be patient." Helen Herman tilted her head and looked ahead and said, "I hope you are ready."

Matthew sat safely in the car seat and asked, "What preparations? Are you prepared to be chased by reporter paparazzi after becoming famous?" Now, it's a treat for me."

Helen Herman turned his head and glanced at him, knowing that Matthew's thinking was different from that of ordinary people.

Matthew opened his hands slightly, closed his eyes, and deliberately put on an expression of enjoyment.

In fact, he does enjoy the feeling right now.

A few months ago, even if he begged the media for an interview, few people paid him any attention. Now what? Even if he hid in the car and could not get out, a large number of paparazzi took the initiative to surround him.

Five minutes later, with the assistance of the security guards in the auditorium of the temple, the car finally got out of the encirclement and slowly drove up the Avenue of Stars. Matthew turned his head and glanced at it. There were obviously cars and motorcycles following. Those paparazzi Did not give up.

He suddenly thought of one thing, turned his head and said to Helen Herman, "Those plans must have seen you, and I want to follow behind to see what the relationship between the two of us is."

Helen Herman ignored Matthew at all and said directly to the driver, "Send me to the Angels Agency in Burbank first."

The black Mercedes-Benz sedan quickly stopped on the side of the road where the Angel Agency was located, and Helen Herman got out of the car, leaving Matthew alone to continue driving north.

Ten minutes later, Matthew returned home. After taking a shower, he went to the attic of the house to take a look. In the dim light of the street lights outside, he could vaguely see cars and motorcycles parked near the door. The paparazzi have to stay here all night and are not ready to go back.

Matthew got out of the attic, turned on the computer, and went to Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB to check it out. These two websites have not yet lifted the ban on the ratings of the film, and it is estimated that they will not be available until tomorrow.

At the premiere just now, Universal Pictures also followed industry practice and invited many well-known film critics to watch the film. These film critics were different from the previous internal test screenings, and they were relatively fair, although film reviews have long since changed. It has become a business, but these people also cherish feathers, and often plan for their own reputation and long-term.

According to Helen Herman, these well-known film critics will not easily accept money from film companies, and they will not be moved by petty profits. Their columns and reputation in the industry have certain commercial value in themselves.

Matthew is very clear that when these film critics' film reviews are published tomorrow, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes will be lifted.

As for IMDB, he has not studied it specifically, and is not very clear about the scoring rules of this site.

As the time approached midnight, Matthew went to the attic to take a look again, and found that the paparazzi outside had not left. It seemed that the big news could not be filmed, so he refused to leave.

What these paparazzi like to shoot most is gossip and gossip content. Unfortunately, Matthew has basically nothing to shoot in this regard.

Britney is running an announcement in Australia, and then she will go to New Zealand, and will not return to Los Angeles in a short time.

Thinking of Britney, Matthew got out of the attic and got his mobile phone to call Britney. Not counting today, the two of them haven't spoken on the phone for three days. Due to the time difference, he and Britney were originally With very little free time, it's hard to get together.

This time he still didn't get through to Britney's phone, so he simply edited a text message and sent it to Britney.

It was not early. After waiting for more than half an hour, seeing that Britney did not reply to the text message, Matthew simply went to rest. Although he did not need to run the announcement tomorrow, he could not sleep too late. In case of dark circles, in the next few days Facing the camera lens of the media is a hassle.

When he got up the next day, Matthew called first to ask for a takeaway breakfast, and at the same time asked the other party to help with the mainstream newspapers and entertainment newspapers on the market.

When the takeaway was delivered, he entered the restaurant with a pile of newspapers, and while enjoying breakfast, he flipped through the news related to "The Scorpion King".

The first is the film review column on some major newspapers distributed in the United States.

After flipping through some newspapers, Matthew has a general understanding of the above film reviews. Generally speaking, the good and bad accounts for about half, and the positive reviews are a little more than the bad reviews.

Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan commented: "The Scorpion King" provides ample sensory stimulation -- cartoonish violence, innocuous exotic erotica, and excellent action scenes.

He also specifically mentioned Matthew, thinking that the actor's excellent action play is the most exciting part of the film.

Conversely, the San Francisco Chronicle criticized "The Scorpion King": the film's script was unsatisfactory, the story seemed a little pale, and the dialogue didn't quite fit the context of the times.

However, the newspaper also mentioned Matthew's leading man with praise: Matthew Horner's leading man stands out in such a mediocre film, it is his rock-hard handsome face and smooth lines The muscles and excellent fighting make the whole film less boring.

The most influential "New York Times" in North America does not think much of this film: the plot is very simple, the funny is not strong, the location is not shocking, and there are no mummies or ghosts. The length of 90 minutes also fully shows that it belongs to the film. Made at a low cost, it is purely for the cold rice of the "Mummy" series. The only bright spot is the combination of Matthew Horner and Kelly Hu's macho and beauty.

The Washington Post, one of the three major newspapers in the United States, has a slightly better review of the film: the action scenes of "The Scorpion King" are well designed, and the three long-shot action scenes at the beginning, middle and end of the film also show the crew. The ambition of the actor, Matthew Horner, almost perfectly grasped the essence of these three long shots, and dedicated several classic action scenes, although the actor's literary dramas are not as brilliant as action dramas, But for the whole film, it's also worth it.

Then, Matthew turned over many newspapers and found that no matter whether it was a good review of the film or a severe negative review, there were almost no comments criticizing him as the actor. Even the worst comments were that he successfully completed his own. Work, but the performance of literature and drama is a little less than ideal.

Most of the newspaper reviews considered his male lead's appearance and action scenes to be the most prominent and attractive parts of the film.

The voices of criticism focused on the plot of the film and the relationship between the pros and cons.

Frankly speaking, Matthew also thinks that the plot of the film is indeed very old-fashioned, which is also the consistent style of Stephen Sommers, and it is also a common way of avoiding risks in Hollywood.

This kind of purely commercial entertainment film, if the plot is too tortuous and profound, will be a burden.

The crew made it clear from the beginning that the selling point of "The Scorpion King" was not at all on the plot.

Matthew finished his breakfast, flipped through all the newspapers, and turned on his computer to check it out. As he expected, the freshness of "The Scorpion King" on Rotten Tomatoes has been lifted. Among the 40 film critics' reviews included in the website, the reviews were well received. Twenty-six comments, fourteen negative comments, and the freshness reached 65%.

However, the average score of the film is low, only 6.2 points, just passing.

On the film reviews collected by the Rotten Tomatoes website~lightnovelpub.net~ Matthew saw a bad review for his actor: Matthew Horner's acting is "a little stiff" in my opinion, it seems that fighting the bad guy is better than revealing one Realistic smiles have to be good at it.

Matthew scratched his head a bit, but whoever came back, he was indeed much easier to shoot action scenes that seemed more difficult than literary ones.

Exiting the Rotten Tomatoes website, he went to IMDB again, found the "Scorpion King" column, and found that due to the insufficient number of comments, the IMDB average score of the film has not been released.

He deliberately dragged the page down to find out the comments that fans had left, and browsed it.

Compared with professional film critics, fans have a more tolerant attitude towards "The Scorpion King" and have higher evaluations.

A message from a fan named "Like the Mummy", like a diehard fan: To be honest, the first time I saw Matthew Horner in "The Mummy Returns", I was electrocuted by him, well-developed muscles, bodybuilding The figure is comparable to the gods in Greek mythology. I have seen Kaili Hu's unparalleled beauty in the trailer. The combination of these two people is a must-see even for a movie without acting skills.

Another fan called "Crazy Two in One" also liked the film: Matthew Horner is so cool, as a man is to be such a person, dare to face the difficulties in life, but also rely on his own Work hard to make a world. I've always believed that a good work can change a person's view of the world, and as a film for men, it's worth recommending.

Just as Matthew was hiding at home and secretly looking at his positive comments, a FedEx car drove out of the forwarding center in New York and headed for an address in the suburbs.

Surprisingly, behind the express van, there were more than a dozen interview vans with the signs of various newspapers, magazines and TV stations.
