Chapter five hundred and eighty forever
When it comes to selling sentiment, Hollywood is definitely the leader in the world's film industry. Matthew also knows a little bit. Since he received a high salary from the crew, he naturally made some careful preparations.
Facing hundreds of reporters on the scene, he recalled, "Everyone should have heard that I grew up in a slum in Texas. The best toy I got when I was a child was a Megatron model. It was my best partner and once accompanied me."
Seeing Matthew's words far from being finished, no reporter stood up to ask questions. In fact, many reporters had just arrived from there.
Matthew touched his nose, as if a little sad, "But when I grew up, I abandoned my only childhood friend. I ignored it and forgot it. Time brings me growth, but it brings me neglected fate."
He looked at Michael Bay again and said with emotion, "So I want to thank Michael! It was Michael's invitation that reminded me of the fact that there was such a childhood friend who accompanied me to grow up. It never disliked me, but I abandoned it."
For some reason, the female reporter who asked the question thought of her favorite doll when she was a child, and where did it throw it away by herself?
Matthew pursed his lips hard, his voice trembling slightly, "Transformers and Megatron are my childhood companions. I have never really said goodbye to it, so I abandoned it in the corner."
Many people think of the toys they loved when they were young. What they made was different from what Matthew said? When they first got the toys, they regarded them as treasures, and soon became bored, and in the end they didn't know where to throw them...
"This movie is a farewell party for me to my childhood friends." Matthew said it very slowly, but it is extremely clear. "Toys play an irreplaceable role for our childhood. We inject our emotions into the toys and give life and abilities to each toy. They were also the shapers of our imagination, richly decorating our childhood. Perhaps no one thought of saying goodbye to our toys..."
Michael Bay suddenly realized that Matthew's words were very contagious and probably could inspire the feelings of many people. He simply used the childlike innocence that everyone has as a weapon to directly hit the most important thing in many people's lives.
Who didn’t have a beloved toy when he was a child? How many people didn’t throw away the toys they once cherished when they grew up? Maybe these were nothing when they were young, but when they grew up, did they have no regrets when they thought about it?
He gently patted his legs, and the millions of dollars he used on Matthew was really worth it!
If I had known it, I wouldn't have any stories about boys and robots. It would be great if I could just Rather Rathio as the male lead. Shia LaBeouf is useless except for having a good godfather.
"Michael, I want to say thank you again." Matthew seemed full of gratitude. "When I shouted 'I am Megatron' in the dubbing, I felt that you gave me a perfect farewell, allowing me to solemnly say goodbye to my childhood friends. I will use this to remember all the toys that once brought me laughter and spent my childhood with me."
His eyes were slightly red, "When I finished the dubbing for Megatron, I thought I had grabbed something, but now I realize that something is gone forever."
Speaking of this, Matthew stopped, and the audience was silent. You could vaguely see many reporters stunned, as if thinking or recalling some things.
Suddenly, applause rang out from the press room, and then more and more people applauded. Soon hundreds of reporters present applauded together, responding to Matthew's words just now with extremely warm applause.
They also had toys like Megatron Matthew, and they had grown up before they could say goodbye to their beloved toys.
When Michael Bay saw such a warm reaction at the event, he couldn't help but applaud. His eyes unconsciously fell on Shia LaBeouf's head. This guy was backed by Steven Spielberg's resources. As long as he had half of Matthew's... no, he had one-tenth of Matthew's mind, the future was unlimited.
When Shia LaBeouf compared with Matthew, he was even stupider than a cow and a pig.
If it weren't for Spielberg, how could he choose such a trash male lead?
Megan Fox was also applauding hard. Matthew Horner is indeed the best man in this circle. A few words even motivated her emotions. Having been to such a man, he could really use it as a capital to show off.
She still remembers the envious and jealous look of her two female friends when she talked to her two female friends about spending a good night with Matthew.
For some reason, her eyes turned to Shiya Labou. Many things are really harmless without comparison. Judging from the previous series of performances, fortunately, she tried every means to get rid of Shiya Labou's entanglement. Otherwise, she would have talked about having sex with Shiya Labou, but she wouldn't be ridiculed to death?
The female reporter who asked the question before was not old, but was a senior practitioner. She could vaguely judge that this should be a promotional and marketing strategy. However, Matthew Horner was full of emotion, which made people unconsciously follow his emotions, willing to accompany him to recall his childhood playmates and solemnly say goodbye to those lost toys together.
This feeling is particularly contagious.
Michael Bey's eyes had already moved away from Shia LaBeouf and turned his head to whisper to a producer next to him. Shia LaBeouf is Spielberg's godson, and he can't control it or he doesn't want to. It's still the movie that is crucial to him.
The crew had thought about making a fuss about feelings before, so they contacted Matthew to prepare in advance, but they didn't expect that Matthew had prepared so well. The crew could do more on the basis of Matthew's words and maximize Matthew Horner's appeal.
The two quickly exchanged opinions, and Michael Bay also remembered the first toy camera he used in his childhood. It was the beginning of his entire directorial career. It seemed to be abandoned in the attic of his hometown. When he returned to his hometown, he went to search for it and said a solemn goodbye.
This time the media will end with a nostalgia.
Matthew signed some fans participating in the media conference and then moved to the lounge at the back. Michael Bay immediately found him.
"It's wonderful," Michael Bay said with a smile. "I really regret it now. I should go to you when the project starts."
Matthew smiled, "This is not something we can decide."
Michael Bay sighed, "It's really not something I can decide."
If he could make a decision, Shia Labeoft would play out of the crew halfway through, and would it remain until now?
"I have something to discuss with Tom DeSanto." Michael Bay said a little apologetically, "I'm leaving first."
"It's okay, I'll leave later." Matthew thought of the upcoming movie and offered to invite him, "Michael, it's about to be released. Do you have time to attend the premiere?"
Michael Bay immediately said, "As long as the schedule is right, I will definitely participate."
His assistant over there was looking at this side, and Michael Bay said another word to Matthew, then said goodbye and left.
Matthew asked Bella Anderson to pack up his things and prepare to leave. He also went to Warner Studio to pick up Alexandra Dadario after a while. Helen Hermann just got a new job for Alexandra Dadario from Warner Bros., dubbing Louis Lane in the DC superhero cartoon.
In the words of the director of this cartoon, Louis Ryan is in the Metropolis and Alexandra Dadario is from New York, which is very suitable.
In addition, he also heard that Warner Bros. and DC were planning the Origins cartoon.
For some reason, Matthew suddenly felt a strange feeling on his back, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake. He subconsciously turned around and happened to see Shia Labou turn around.
He couldn't help but shake his head. Shia LaBeouf was at most a drug-abusing snake. If it weren't for Spielberg, it would be a small earthworm.
"let's go."
Matthew called Bella Anderson to leave the lounge and not far away. The slightly rushing sound of high heels landing on the ground came from behind. Megan Fox chased after him.
"Hi, Matthew," she greeted.
"Hello, Megan." Matthew turned his head and looked at Megan Fox and found that her appearance seemed to have changed a little.
Megan Fox never concealed that he had plastic surgery and said directly, "I had lip augmentation and nose some time ago. How about it? Are you more beautiful?"
Matthew praised casually, "You have always been beautiful."
"Is it going to be released soon?" Seeing Matthew nodding, Megan Fox said again, "Can I go to the premiere?"
Matthew nodded slightly, "Of course, I will go back and say hello to the crew and ask them to send you an invitation."
Megan Fox laughed happily, suddenly took a step closer, and said in Matthew's ear, "Why go to my place tonight? I have two best friends who have been clamoring to know you."
These words made Matthew's heart move, but when he thought of Alexandra Dadario, he shook his head and said, "No need, I'll ask the crew to mail you an invitation."
In the following period, Matthew stopped considering matters for the time being and made every effort to promote it. Because of the announcement, he missed the celebration of Disney's acquisition of Pixar. Just like in the second part, Disney Pictures made efforts at the same time, hard broadcasting and soft promotion, and the reintegrated distribution companies also showed strong capabilities, with the number of theaters released to 4,300.
