Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

Walking along the hotel's corridor, Matthew noticed that many of the people coming and going were African-American, and it seemed that someone knew him and watched him pass by in the corridor with curiosity.

He subconsciously straightened his bow tie, his eyes swept over the house number in front of the left, to make sure he was not looking for the wrong place, and knocked on the door, the door was pulled open from the inside, and a woman about thirty years old showed her head and glanced at Matthew.

"Hello, Mr. Horner. ”

The woman, who obviously knew Matthew, took the initiative to open the door and said, "Miss Theron is waiting for you." ”

Matthew smiled and nodded at her and entered the door, a luxurious business suite, where Charlize Theron was standing in front of the mirror in an off-white evening dress.

"Hi Sally. Matthew came behind Charlize Theron and waved in the mirror, Charlize Theron turned around, and the moment he saw Matthew, the joy on his face flashed, and he said, "Why did you come to Munich?"

Matthew looked at her and said, "Come and see you." ”

Charlize Theron smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go to the banquet hall downstairs." ”

She reached out and grabbed Matthew's arm, walked out of the suite together, and took the elevator to the second floor, where the dinner convened by the German Football Association was held in the grand ballroom on the second floor.

"There's the Confederations Cup this summer. ”

As he walked towards the ballroom, Charlize Theron said to Matthew, "This is a preview before next year's World Cup, and the German experience is important for South Africa, and the South African team will stay here to watch." ”

Matthew nodded, and as Charlize Theron entered the ballroom, he found many people he had seen on the Internet, such as German football superstar Ballack, and the old man Caesar, whose name he couldn't remember.

Of course, there is no distinction between culture and sports in the world, and there are many stars in the entertainment industry in the field, and he also saw Diane Kruger.

Matthew didn't go over to say hello, and sat at a table of the South African delegation with Charlize Theron, all of whom were South African officials, and under Charlize Theron's introduction, they exchanged a few polite greetings, and basically chatted with Charlize Theron for the rest of the time.

He will not go to South Africa to develop, nor will he participate in the World Cup in South Africa, so there is no need to get to know these South African officials.

"How many years have you been with Mercedes?" Charlize Theron asked curiously.

"Three years. There is no confidentiality clause involved, and Matthew told the truth, "Mercedes doesn't want to sign me a contract for too long, and Helen and I don't want to be easily tied to Mercedes." ”

Charlize Theron lowered his voice slightly, "I have been endorsing Dior since the Oscars, and it seems that the response has been good this year, and Dior is ready to sign a ten-year long-term contract with me." ”

"It's not a good response. Matthew looked at the data collected by the angel agency, "The sales of Dior's 'real me' perfume have soared, and if I were Dior's decision-maker, I would also sign a long-term contract with you." ”

He reminded, "In the information collected by my agency, many people in the industry believe that it is your endorsement that really makes Dior's 'real-me' fragrance shine. ”

Charlize Theron smiled, but didn't speak.

Matthew added, "In terms of endorsement fees, you can ask for more. ”

"My agent is still talking. Charlize Theron leaned into Matthew's ear, "It's estimated that it won't be less than $4 million." ”

The annual endorsement fee of four million US dollars is indeed not much, but having such a long-term contract with Dior is very beneficial for celebrities to maintain their coffee positions, even if Dior can only be regarded as a second-tier luxury brand, Dior's 'true me' perfume is only an entry-level existence in luxury perfumes.

Matthew has seen very clearly in recent years that the shelf life of female stars is far shorter than that of male stars, and first-line female stars want to maintain their coffee positions, not only by their works, after all, there are too few real female films produced in Hollywood today.

Lack of resources means fierce competition, and there may be no way to grab it, the speed of replacement of the old and the new in Hollywood is fast, and male stars still have the saying that the older they are, the more popular they are, and the replacement of female stars is simply a blink of an eye.

Maybe a certain first-line actress has not had outstanding works for just one year, and when she looks back, she finds that a group of small flowers have pounced.

At this time, first-line female stars naturally have to find ways to maintain their status when there are not enough works.

Of course, the same applies to male celebrities, and Helen Herman has spoken specifically to Matthew about this.

If you want to maintain her coffee position, Hollywood actresses have several magic weapons, the most representative of which is packaged as a feminist fighter, a luxury brand spokesperson, and a United Nations charity ambassador, etc.

It is recognized in the circle that as long as there are first- and second-tier luxury endorsements, it will not fall easily.

"Didn't your agent contact the clothing brand?" Charlize Theron muttered to Matthew, "with your size and fame, there should be a certain amount of maneuverability." ”

Matthew also leaned into Charlize Theron's ear, "CK contacted Helen and later chose someone else, and that also depends on the opportunity. ”

Charlize Theron nodded, and was just about to speak, when a person suddenly came to Matthew's left, muttering a few words in English to the black South African man sitting there, and I don't know what to say, the black South African official took the initiative to give up his seat to him.

"Hello, Mr. Horner. The man took the initiative to greet Matthew and looked to Matthew's right, "Hello, Miss Theron." ”

Matthew turned his head to look to the left, and it was a middle-aged man with short blond hair, about forty years old, with a face full of flesh, giving people a very fierce feeling.

"I'm Uwe Ball. "The man said to himself," a director. ”

"Hello. Matthew replied politely.

Charlize Theron also smiled, "Hello, Director Ball. ”

Uwe Bauer was not polite at all, and regardless of the other South African officials present, he pointed to a table diagonally opposite him, and said with a big grin, "I just sat there and saw you, and I really want to praise God, God sent me two of the best actors." ”

Matthew didn't know the situation, and he didn't know the person, listening to English with a German accent, he couldn't help but glance at Charlize Theron, who has been traveling frequently between South Africa and Germany lately, and may know this German director.

Charlize Theron gave Matthew a covert look, and Matthew immediately understood that Charlize Theron didn't know each other either.

"Mr. Horner, may I call you Matthew? Ah, Matthew......"

The German director is not at all outside, as if he is familiar with it, "and Charlize." The two are the best movie stars in today's film industry, with equal emphasis on acting skills and appearance. ”

Hearing this, Matthew didn't know what to say, neither he nor Charlize Theron were known for their acting skills in Hollywood.

The director named Uwe Ball was still chattering, and Matthew simply interrupted him, "Director Ball, are you looking for us for something?"

"It's a bit of a thing. Uwe Bauer smiled, the flesh on his face shaking, "I'm planning a magical epic blockbuster, and I've raised $60 million so far......"

When Matthew heard the figure of 60 million dollars, he instantly raised his vigilance, either this director is very capable, or he is a guy who runs a train with a mouth.

In this day and age, there are very few films other than Hollywood that can invest at the level of 60 million US dollars.

Charlize Theron seemed to have a similar thought, quietly squeezing his hand under the table, apparently reminding.

Uwe Bauer continued, "I was looking for a male and female lead, and I didn't have the right person until I saw you. He put on a serious expression, "Matthew, Charlize, you are my ideal hero and heroine!"

Matthew nodded and asked, "Can you elaborate on that?"

"Do you know Dungeon Siege?" Uwe Bauer shook his head at Matthew, "a big hit computer game from the last few years. ”

"You're not going to want a movie adaptation from a game, are you?" asked Matthew immediately.

Uwe Bauer admits directly, "That's right, I'm going to adapt the game Dungeon Siege into a movie." ”

Originally, although Matthew was vigilant, he was still a little interested, after all, successful European commercial films were not without it, but when he heard that the game was adapted into a movie, he immediately lost interest.

"I'm sorry, Director Bauer. Matthew politely resigned, "I can't talk to people about work when my agent is not there." ”

Charlize Theron then said, "Me too. ”

Uwe Bauer wanted to say something, but Matthew preemptively said, "Well, if you really want to invite me, please send a formal letter to my agency." ”

"No problem!"

Probably because of the language, Uwe Bauer didn't seem to understand the meaning of Matthew's words, "I'm going back to prepare an invitation to your agency." ”

He then said to Charlize Theron, "And Miss Theron. ”

With so many people present, and it was a formal occasion, plus he was a famous star, he had to take care of his image somewhat, Matthew and Charlize Theron didn't have much to say, anyway, Uwe Bauer's invitation can be sent casually, and they can not accept it.

After Uwe Bauer left, Charlize Theron specifically inquired about it, this guy is indeed a director, he is still well-known in Germany, and he has directed several horror genre films, although the reputation is not good, but the box office is not bad.

At the end of the party, Charlize Theron asked, "Are you interested?"

Matthew shook his head, "Game adaptation ...... movie"

He didn't say much, and Charlize Theron didn't ask again.

In the days that followed, the two wandered around Munich's famous attractions, and soon followed by entertainment reporters, Matthew and Charlize Theron, who continued to travel together in Munich, during which they also went to the Olympiad to watch a Bayern Munich football game.

In this day and age, information is highly developed, and news and photos of Matthew and Charlize Theron playing in Germany soon spread back to North America, and information about the beginning of their relationship gradually appeared.

When they returned to Los Angeles together, the paparazzi, who had received the news in advance, blocked the exit of the international airport. 10
