After the foundation's inaugural speech, Matthew walked off the auction table amid warm applause, followed by a speech by UNHCR Commissioner Gutierrez, whose two charitable foundations had received strong support from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in the process of preparing for their establishment.

As soon as he came down, Bella Anderson leaned over and said, "Quentin Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein just approached me and said I'd like you to sit at their table if it's convenient for you." ”

Matthew looked up at the back left of the ballroom, where Quentin Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein occupied a table alone due to the late arrival.

"Hmm. Matthew nodded, "I see." ”

The UNHCR High Commissioner was still speaking, and he certainly could not leave now, standing in the position of the master, and from time to time he gave warm applause in the rhythm of Gutiérrez's speech.

It wasn't until Gutierrez's speech was over and the banquet officially began, that Matthew greeted some important guests, and then went to Quentin Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein's side.

Matthew exchanged a few polite words with the two men and sat down in the chair next to them, Harvey Weinstein had dealt with a few times before, and Quentin Tarantino had never seen him.

"Harvey, Quentin. Matthew was busy tonight and couldn't stay here for too long, so he simply asked, "You guys have something to do with me?"

"Something. Harvey Weinstein is still the same old look, always a little arrogant when facing actors, he pointed to Quentin Tarantino, "He has something he wants to talk to you about, so let me introduce him." ”

Matthew glanced at Harvey Weinstein, a little dissatisfied with his demeanor and tone, but didn't show it, after all, he is now the master.

Quentin Tarantino is a weirdo, but unlike Harvey Weinstein, he always smiled at Matthew and said, "I've seen a few of your movies, and I feel good." ”

This was so good that Matthew almost thought Quentin was gay.

"I was thinking, are we going to work together once?" Quentin Tarantino was clearly not joking, "how about a psychopathic killer?"

Matthew has seen movies such as "Reservoir Dogs", "Vulgar" and "Kill Bill", and knows that Quentin's films have always been out of the ordinary, which can be called a wonder in the independent film industry.

Of course, the strange thing in his mouth is a compliment, not a derogatory.

Quentin's movies are very special, he likes them very much, and he doesn't like them very much, and he just belongs to the category of liking.

Once when he was on the other side of the Pacific, he watched most of Quentin's films, such as Hitler and the like, which was quite emotional.

The most memorable thing is Quentin Tarantino's personal commentary on Madonna's song "Like a Virgin".

"A dust girl who can be called a XX machine,Met a long-lost big JJ,It made her feel pain underneath.,Supposedly, she shouldn't feel pain.,This pain reminds her of the experience when she first tasted the forbidden fruit.,So it's called: like a virgin.。 ”

Seeing Quentin's face, which could be embedded directly into the plough, Matthew's head unconsciously jumped out of this paragraph.

"Psychopathic killer?" Matthew asked curiously, "Can you elaborate on that?"

He was very interested in Quentin's film, but if he starred in it, he had quite doubts.

Quentin Tarantino was interested, "Robert Rodriguez and I were going to work together on a mill movie, Robert for a zombie film, and I for a psycho killer film. ”

Hearing him say this, Matthew suddenly thought of two films, "Planet of Terror" and "Evidence of Death".

These two movies have left an extremely deep impression on him, and this impression mainly comes from two aspects, one is that the film is very, very black and absurd, and the other is the roughness of the production and shooting.

If "Kill Bill" and "Dawn of the Living Dead" and the like are B-grade films, those two films are simply substandard products produced by small workshops.

Quentin Tarantino didn't care what Matthew thought, gushing, "The male protagonist of this film was originally a not-so-successful Hollywood action actor, but after a certain amount of excitement, he turned into a bloodthirsty psychopathic murderer who specializes in hooking up with flirtatious young girls and then killing them." ”

Matthew listened to Quentin Tarantino's words and thought for a while, he didn't know how these two films had grossed off, but in terms of circulation, it was definitely not a super-best, and Quentin's movies did not have a particularly wide audience, and the box office results were not impressive, as if his most successful box office so far was "Vulgar", with a North American box office of just over $100 million.

However, the box office of 100 million US dollars was accumulated in the 90s and after entering the new century.

Matthew is now an A-list star, Quentin's invitation is a business cooperation, and since it is a business cooperation, he certainly has to consider his own benefits.

Quentin's films are not high at the box office, and the investment is relatively low, and his salary will definitely be reduced.

This aspect alone is unacceptable to Matthew, and a perverted killer character does not conform to his style line and positioning.

Thinking of this, Matthew already had the answer, he liked Quentin's movie style very much, so he didn't want Quentin to waste time on himself, and said directly, "Sorry, such a role doesn't match my positioning." ”

Quentin scratched his head, but didn't say anything, although he really wanted to invite some popular movie stars to cooperate, but it was not once or twice that he was rejected.

Seeing Matthew's refusal, a trace of unhappiness flashed across Harvey Weinstein's face, and he immediately interjected, "Matthew, aren't you thinking about it anymore?"

Matthew didn't want to provoke Harvey Weinstein, but he wouldn't gamble with his future, flatly refusing, "No need, Harvey. I have to shoot "I Am Legend" in the second half of the year, and the schedule is not suitable. ”

Harvey Weinstein said, "The schedule can be adjusted, and you can win the friendship of Weinstein Pictures by taking on this actor." ”

Matthew stood up, as the host of the evening, his tone was still quite polite, "All I can say is sorry, Harvey." ”

After saying this, he stopped talking, said hello to Quentin, and went to entertain the other guests.

He specifically found Britney, who he didn't usually contact.

"I'm glad you came. Although Britney's agency finally confirmed the first love relationship between the two and made a virginity promotion, Matthew didn't mind, "I hope we will still be friends in the future." ”

Britney broke up with him back then, and it must be false to say that there was no complaint in his heart, but after so many years, some things have long been downplayed, maybe it was the right decision to jump out of that relationship back then, after all, he enjoys his current life very much.

The last time we met, Britney Spears seemed very mature, the once confused girl, she really grew up, she looked at Matthew and said, "When you need support, how can I not come?"

She patted Matthew's arm gently, "I want to witness another Hollywood superstar." ”

Matthew shook his head and smiled, "It's been a few years, and I'm still not as good as you, you're now the most popular diva in pop music." ”

After the two chatted for a few words, Britney said, "You are the host tonight, don't waste time with me, go and greet the other guests." ”

Matthew didn't stay with her any longer, and quickly left, then joined Amanda and circled around the table.

"I'll introduce you. ”

Coming to the table where Helen Herman was, Helen Herman introduced to Matthew, "This is Scott Pocheta, the executive of Big Machine Records, Scott was previously the CEO of DreamWorks and left DreamWorks last year to start his own business. ”

Matthew reached out and shook his hand, "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

As soon as he greeted Scott Pocheta, a blonde girl sitting next to Scott Pocheta couldn't wait to stand up and took the initiative to say, "Hello, Matthew." ”

This girl looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, with hanging eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and instant noodles, Matthew didn't pay attention when she was originally sitting, but after standing up, she found that she was extremely tall, close to one meter eight by eye, maybe too thin and tall, and a little hunchbacked.

The instant noodle girl was quite enthusiastic, and when she shook hands, she grabbed Matthew's hand hard, obviously a little excited, and said, "Matthew, I like you very, very much...... And your films, I've seen each of them at least five times. ”

Matthew smiled politely and said, "It's my pleasure." He glanced at the tall girl and asked, "Can I know your name?"

"Ah...... I'm sorry. The instant noodle girl let go of Matthew's hand, her face flushed slightly, and she said embarrassedly, "I was so excited to see you that I forgot to introduce myself." ”

"It doesn't matter. Matthew said generously.

The bubble noodle girl hurriedly introduced herself, "I'm Taylor Swift, a contracted singer of Big Machines, and I will release my first album this year." Her face flushed again, and she said, "You can call me Taylor." ”

Matthew nodded, "Hello, Taylor." He politely added, "I wish your album a big hit." ”

"Can we take a picture?" Taylor Swift immediately turned on his phone, blinked his clear eyes, and pleaded, "Is that okay?"

"Yes. "Matthew showed the demeanor of the owner.

Subsequently, he stood with Taylor Swift, and Scott Pocheta took a photo of the two with Taylor Swift's mobile phone.

When Matthew left, he deliberately glanced at Taylor Swift, compared to Hollywood movies and stars, he didn't know much about the European and American music scene, like Britney and Madonna, who became famous early, and this Taylor Swift's name seems to have been seen, but he doesn't remember the specific situation.

The first impression of this girl is quite good, pure, natural and a little shy.
