Chapter six hundred and eighteenth free man

The winter in New York this year was extremely cold. It snowed heavily a few days ago. The weather after the snow directly turned on the extreme cold mode, but the biting cold wind could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans at all. Under the weak afternoon sunlight, groups of fans of all kinds gathered at Washington Square. They passed through the iconic square arch and came to Thompson Street on the south side, gathered on both sides of a long red carpet, waiting for the premiere of "I Am a Legend".

Fans were enthusiastic, especially after Phyllis Bereta appeared, a large number of fans surrounded her and asked questions, and the things they asked made them like the stars they supported more.

It was almost dusk, and the red carpet finally opened, and stars walked onto the red carpet, bringing cheers after cheer.

When a black Mercedes-Benz sedan was parked in front of the red carpet, the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak. Matthew stood on the red carpet in a black dress, and the fans immediately responded like a tsunami.

The response was so loud that it could even be transmitted directly from Lower Manhattan to the Upper East Side.

A photographer kept photographing the figures moving forward on the red carpet and muttered, "Matthew Horner is so popular!"

A reporter next to him said, "Matthew Horner showed his love for his fans without reservation, and fans will certainly love him even more."

Hearing this, the photographer remembered the previous gift of real estate incident and nodded and said, "A star as special as Matthew Horner is rare in Hollywood."

Even if this is a show, it will show up to a new level.

As Matthew walked alone on the red carpet, the entire Washington Square was in a boil.

Washington Square is located between Greenwich Village and East Village, surrounded by the most bohemian freedom and decadence of New York City. Greenwich Village to the west has become a place for writers and artists since the establishment of the square. The East Village is slightly lower in size, and the Punks and the Experimental Theater appear here. Within a radius of one kilometer centered on Washington Square, there are good cafes, good taverns, good restaurants, and jazz bars that stay up all night.

Usually, Washington Square is crowded with people, some are street artists, some are students from nearby New York University, and some are sliding in-line, taking photos, and taking naps...

But now, Washington Square has been completely occupied by a group of outsiders, from New York, from Los Angeles, from Chicago, from Phoenix... They come from North America and around the world.

However, they have a unified title for Matthew Horner fans!.

Today's premiere and live broadcasts, Warner Bros. made careful preparations. The pre-sale performance of "I Am Legend" was extremely excellent. It was inevitable that the first week of box office hit was a big hit, which also gave them enough confidence.

A reporter from the entertainment channel of ab TV station stood in front of the live broadcast camera, first said a few words, and then reminded the photographer to turn the camera to Matthew Horner on the red carpet.

She said in a voice-over form, "If there is a saying of 'freedom' in Hollywood, then Matthew Horner will definitely become the most popular 'freedom' among agents. Because film company owners must like to sign actors who can bring them the most profits. In Hollywood where Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise are no longer in glory, Harrison Ford and Bruce Willis and others are old, the young Matthew Horner has become an increasingly reliable box office guarantee. From "The Scorpion King", "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" to "The National Treasure" to "The Smiths", the films starring Matthew Horner have brought the boss a box office without exception."

Seeing Matthew walk into the media photo area, the female reporter immediately took the photographer to interview several senior film companies. Because Matthew has been the focus of entertainment recently, she asked almost all of her questions related to Matthew.

Paul Degala Berdian, president of box office tracker Media Digital, said in an interview: "As the last person on earth, Matthew in "I Am Legend" is very lonely, and there is nothing to doubt about this, but in real life, he is not a lonely person because there are too many fans going to the theater to appreciate his performance."

Dan Philman, the head of Warner Bros. film distribution, said in response to her interview: "In the current film industry, Matthew is one of the most box office stars. He can act in any movie, and the audience's love for him almost reaches the level of Tom Hanks. Moreover, the pre-sale box office of "I Am Legend" proves that Matthew deserves every dollar he receives, and he is worth the money as always."

Warner Bros.'s management also needs to use "I Am Legend" to make a complete comeback to prove their vision and capabilities to shareholders and Time Warner Group.

Just two weeks ago, Warner Bros. and its subsidiary Xinyi Films created one of the worst box office tragedies in Hollywood since the new century: "The Golden Compass", which was released during the Thanksgiving period, had a production cost of up to $80 million, but the box office in the first weekend was only a pitiful $25 million, and the cumulative box office has only been $40 million...

This was definitely a super painful disappointment, and once again proved that Nicole Kidman deserved the title of box office poison.

"Now the entire North American film market is immersed in a state of stagnation."

In front of the theater, the famous producer Charles Rowan looked at Matthew Horner walking towards the interview area and said to Christopher Nolan beside him, "Now the hungry audience is like the zombies in the trailer, and will eat the film..."

Christopher Nolan sighed and said with regret, "He is very unique, with a kind of temperament that is unrestrained and looks down at the world from a high place. In fact, he is the most suitable candidate for clowns, but unfortunately he is unwilling to lose weight."

This reminded Charles Rowan, who said, "The project where Jonathan is writing the script, isn't Christian Bale going to film Terminator 4? Is the schedule not appropriate? We need a superstar, and Matthew Horner should be a good candidate."

"Yes." Christopher Nolan nodded seriously, thought for a while, and said, "That project is still far away. Let's focus on the post-production of "Dark Knight" first, and let's talk about the others after "Dark Knight" is released."

The plot of that project is a bit complicated, and the Warner Bros. Review Committee has some doubts, which leads to Warner Bros. not supporting him enough. If "The Dark Knight" is released and the box office is better than "The Moment of War", he will definitely get enough support.

Charles Rowan nodded and said nothing more. Warner Bros. wanted him to switch to the latest D superhero movie project, and Christopher Nolan's next film may not be the producer.

In the interview area, Matthew was already standing in front of the camera of ATV.

The female reporter did not interview him immediately, but instead specifically spoke about him before the interview.

"I really don't know why this man has such a great amount of energy - this energy has a dual meaning."

The female reporter was naturally full of praise, "The first meaning is that his box office is too powerful. Every film he starred in has a big box office hit and achieved great success. The other meaning is that as an actor, as a worker and a living person, how can he always be excited about making movies and activities? Isn't he annoyed? Isn't he tired? Let's ask Matthew Horner now."

Speaking of this, she handed the microphone to Matthew and asked, “If you were the only person in the world, what would make you feel comfortable?

Matthew was kind and joking seriously, "A pistol, because I want to go out by myself."

He then put away his smile and said, "I would have a childish idea: I hope everyone is gone, I hope there is only one person in the world. Although you will be disturbed by others in your daily life, if everyone else is gone, it will be the most miserable experience you can have. While making a movie, we cleared six blocks of New York and I walked alone on Fifth Street. It's cool, but it's cool because when we shouted "downtime," there are thousands of people watching us on the other side. For me, there is no fun in that state of loneliness."

The female reporter knew that the organizer had not left her much time, so she asked quickly, "Do you have a completely positive attitude towards life?"

"Yes, a total positive attitude. I am very confident because the cornerstone of my life are reading and sports." Matthew said naturally. "Think about it, we have lived in hundreds of millions of people before, they have problems, they have solved these problems, and wrote this process in a book somewhere - we have no problems that we need to solve ourselves. No problem has not appeared in books a thousand years ago."

He then smiled, "Exercise has given me a healthy body, made me lose my weak side, and allowed me to deal with work and life with energy."

There was a staff member next to him urging him, and the female reporter quickly asked the best question, "Some time ago, the news about the movie fans who gave you a house was circulating. Everyone said you were a good person. What do you think?"

“It is the core philosophy of my life whenever possible.”

Although doing charity has a purpose, Matthew asked himself that he helped many people, and he said it with confidence. Then he said, "The good and bad cannot be defined too simply, but a person's choice. I always think that if you are a good person, you will encounter good things, and if you are a bad person, you will encounter bad things."

He praised himself in disguise, "So, I always meet fans who like me and support me, and I like them too."
