Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

Christmas is approaching, Johannesburg is the hottest time of the year, the sun is madly scorching the earth, the weather is crazy, the ground is hot, smoking, like a fire, there are few people on the road, only cars are running back and forth, there is not a trace of clouds in the sky, some gray gas that looks like clouds and non-clouds, like fog and non-fog, floats low in the air, making people feel uncomfortable holding their breath.

"Hell weather!"

Matthew stretched out his parasol to create a small shade for himself, when suddenly a mosquito flew by, and the buzzing of its wings seemed to bring a cool breeze.

It's all about going out for five minutes and sweating for two hours.

Matthew regretted it so much, why not find a car to come over just because the hotel was less than five minutes from Charlize Theron's apartment building?

Although he came to Johannesburg, he was still mentally in the northern hemisphere and always thought it was winter.

Entering the apartment building, Matthew registered at the front desk and took the special elevator directly to the top floor, where the entire top floor was owned by Charlize Theron.

The elevator stopped, the doors parted to the sides, and Matthew saw Charlize Theron standing directly across from the elevator with his arms folded.

"Hi Sally. Matthew greeted him as he stepped out of the elevator and asked, "Where is the restroom?" ”

Charlize Theron turned to lead the way, "This way." ”

Turning out of the elevator and through the huge living room, Matthew entered the bathroom, probably because he had absorbed too much heat outside before, and only felt that his urine was boiling water.

Out of the bathroom, Charlize Theron handed over the towel as soon as possible, Matthew took it to wipe the sweat off his face, and took a sip of the water brought by Charlize Theron, which made him feel better.

"It's a deadly weather. Matthew returned the towel to Charlize Theron, complaining.

Charlize Theron put away the towel and said, "Sit casually." She glanced at Matthew, "Lukewarm Los Angeles doesn't wait, what are you doing in Johannesburg?"

Matthew sat on a single couch, "I'm coming to see you, Sally." ”

"No kidding. Charlize Theron didn't believe Matthew's words at all, "You're coming to South Africa to see me?"

Matthew, of course, didn't come specifically to see Charlize Theron, but told the truth, "Did you hear that the UNHCR is about to hold a conference in Johannesburg on refugees in Africa?"

Charlize Theron nodded, "I know that the meeting can be held in South Africa because of Mandela's struggle. ”

"I'm going to this meeting. Matthew stopped going around in circles and said directly, "So I came to Johannesburg, and it just so happened that you were also here, so I stopped by to see you." ”

"Your Charity Ambassador has arrived?" Charlize Theron, knowing that Matthew was fighting for a title in the United Nations, "so well?"

In fact, she is doing a similar campaign, but the goal is UNICEF.

Matthew took another deep breath of the cool air in the room, the burning heat in his chest gradually dissipated, and said, "Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), I just received my official appointment this Monday. ”

Charles Theron held her chin up, "Helen Herman is amazingly productive. ”

"She's been operating for a long time. Matthew didn't hide Charlize Theron either, "It's been more than a year." ”

Since December, Helen Herman has been busy in New York and Geneva for half a month before the matter is completely settled, and he successfully squeezed Angelina Jolie to become a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Remembering that Charlize Theron also operates in this area, Matthew asked, "What about your UNICEF?"

Charlize Theron shook her head slightly, "No news yet." She asked, "Do you want to speak at the meeting?"

"yes. Matthew leaned back on the couch and said, "Before the meeting began, I had a presentation. ”

"Don't you need to prepare?"

Hearing Charlize Theron's question, Matthew pointed to his head, "Before coming over this time, Helen Herman prepared the speech for me, and I memorized it all. ”

He was very self-aware, aware of his limited level of education, and never thought of using his own abilities to cope with speeches.

"Matthew......" Charlize Theron said seriously, "I really hope you can do something for refugees in Africa." ”

"I tried my best. Matthew didn't want to deceive Charlize Theron, and vaguely said, "One person has a limit to what he can do." ”

Charlize Theron could only shake her head and sigh when she heard this, she and Matthew have not only been lovers, but also have always been very good friends, and they still know this guy better, Matthew got this goodwill ambassador more because it was good for him, rather than really wanting to help refugees.

"If you can. Charlize Theron added, "If you can help, you still have to help." ”

Matthew smiled and said, "There's always something to help some." ”

The fame of a celebrity is here, and if you stand up and speak out, it will work to some extent, and as a goodwill ambassador for UNHCR, of course, it is not enough to just pay lip service, he will also actively donate money and, when appropriate, hold several charity auctions.

There are many charity auctions like this in Hollywood, although the purpose of the people who convene and participate in it may not be simple, and many of the funds raised will be diverted for other purposes, but there will always be a part of it that will be used for charity, and it can also help some people.

Problems such as those in Africa, especially the problems of war and refugees, cannot be solved by donating money and materials, and even people like him, who know little about politics, know that Africa's problems are very complex.

For example, Mandela, who admires Charlize Theron very much, also has praise and disapproval in the world, and the voice of disparage is no weaker than praise.

Matthew and Helen Herman won the Goodwill Ambassadors for the simple reason that neither had the idea of getting involved in politics, but mainly to improve their style and fame, and to accumulate capital for the superstar.

After chatting for a while, Charlize Theron took Matthew to visit the duplex apartment, which occupies the top two floors of the building, the area is quite huge, and in a study, Matthew also saw a gold brick engraved with the words "Charlize Theron", which was presented by South African President Mbeki after Charlize Theron won the Oscar for Best Actress, in recognition of the honor she won for South Africa.

In this regard, the weight of the Oscar is indeed very heavy, and it is not difficult to understand why so many star actors do not hesitate to pay a huge price in order to win the Oscar.

Standing in front of the glass display case where the gold bricks were placed, Matthew looked at the gold bricks and asked Charlize Theron behind him, "Are you going to settle in Johannesburg and not go back to Los Angeles?"

Charlize Theron stepped forward, stood side by side with Matthew, smiled, and said, "This is my hometown. She was silent for a while, then said, "Of course I have to go back, my career is in Hollywood." I have already taken over the heroine of Warner Bros.'s "Battle of Elira Valley", and it is estimated that I will return to North America in February next year to start preparations. ”

Because Skydance Pictures is working with Warner Bros., Matthew has heard about the project, which is said to be based on a true story about a retired veteran who tracks down the death of his son who has returned from serving in Iraq.

This is not a commercial film, the target is probably the Oscar season, and Charlize Theron obviously has the idea of continuing to attack the Oscars.

Matthew pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to win another Oscar, you'd better prepare a little more money." ”

is like the deliberate fat and ugly of "The Female Devil", after using it once, the effect is not so good if you use it again.

Charlize Theron said, "I didn't think about it that much. ”

Matthew nodded and didn't say anything more.

The two have been staying in the apartment and chatting, dinner is Charlize Theron personally made South African paella, after dinner, Charlize Theron did not open his mouth to send off the guests, Matthew did not take the initiative to leave, to go to bed, the two naturally walked into the same bedroom.

Both of them are adult men and women, and they have had many in-depth exchanges before, and neither Matthew nor Charlize Theron has any psychological burden.

The next day, the weather in Johannesburg was much cooler, and Charlize Theron, as the landowner, took Matthew around Johannesburg.

South Africa's largest city, nicknamed the "City of Gold", is the heart of South Africa's gold industry.

According to Charlize Theron, a white man named George Harry was walking on a farm north of Johannesburg when he tripped over a rock that was exposed to the ground, resulting in a nugget of gold.

As a result, gold prospectors from all over the world came to the city, and as the number of gold prospectors grew, Johannesburg became a populous settlement.

Today, a statue of George Harry stands on the roadside from Johannesburg International Airport to the city centre.

Charlize Theron's four bodyguards were heavily armed throughout the game, and like many cities in the United States, Johannesburg is not a very safe place and has the highest crime rate in the world.

South Africa has an unemployment rate of 40 percent, and the vast majority of the unemployed are unskilled and poorly educated blacks.

Matthew was riding in Charlize Theron's car and crossing a road next to a black neighborhood when he faintly heard gunshots.

Seeing that the security situation was so bad, Matthew lost interest after a morning of sightseeing, and simply pulled Charlize Theron back to her luxury apartment.

That evening, Matthew received a call from Helen Herman and returned to the hotel where he was staying to make final preparations for the upcoming meeting.
