Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
The black Mercedes SUV drove past the Beverly Hills Hotel, turned onto Rodeo Drive, and picked up Helen Herman, who got into the back seat, adjusted her seat, and said to Matthew in front, "The comfort of the back seat of this car is really average." ”
Matthew sat in the co-pilot, looked back at her, and said, "So, I've been sitting in the co-pilot." ”
This kind of hard-core off-road vehicle will not make too much of a fuss about the comfort of the back seat, and when he rides, he never goes to sit in the back seat.
Bella Anderson spun around and the SUV turned onto the road heading for the south slope of Beverly Hills.
Helen Herman then said, "According to the contract, we need to report your relationship to the advertiser, and after I informed the advertising director of Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz had a suggestion. ”
Just like the contract signed by Matthew, it is normal for the manufacturer to have some reasonable restrictions on the private life of the advertising spokesperson, but it generally does not interfere indiscriminately.
Matthew asked curiously, "What's the advice, wouldn't you think my romance with Charlize would damage their brand image?"
"Of course not. Helen Herman explained, "Mercedes-Benz is very much looking forward to the next step for you and Charlize Theron, and thinks that if you two can get engaged or married, it will be better for their branding." ”
Matthew shrugged, "Didn't our original plan be to get engaged?"
Helen Herrmann continued, "I met Charlize Theron's agent the other day, and she said that the Dior side also has some ideas about your relationship with Charlizer, and I was in the middle of the conversation, and we just had a meeting with the planning director of Dior and the advertising director of Mercedes-Benz. ”
She looked at Matthew, "I informed Bella about this the other day. ”
Matthew turned around and said, "Bella told me, how are you going?"
"There were some constructive suggestions, and there was no imperative on the part of Dior and Mercedes-Benz. Helen Herrmann is also unlikely to let Mercedes fiddle with her number one customer, "You can listen first." ”
Matthew was a little curious, "Why did Dior and Mercedes suddenly intervene?"
Helen Herman didn't think about it, and said directly, "It's very simple, it has to do with the characteristics of your two spokespersons and the consumer group of the products you endorse. ”
She explained simply, "Charlize Theron's Dior True Me fragrance is aimed at mature women over twenty-eight years old, and women in this age group often crave stable relationships. The main consumer group of Mercedes-Benz G-class off-road vehicles is also mature men, and most of these men hope to have a stable family behind them. ”
"So...... "Charlize Theron," said Charlize Theron, "is an engagement that can increase your recognition among the main consumer groups of the product in a short period of time." ”
Matthew suddenly had a bad premonition, "Dior and Mercedes don't want me Charlize to get married, do they?"
He does have a crush on Charlize Theron, and he is also the woman who is really tempted after Britney, but getting married is such a terrible thing, forget it.
The marriage of Hollywood stars is simply hurting each other, and it is better to stay away from marriage as soon as possible than to be hurt in the future.
"No, I spoke to Charlize Theron's agent with Dior and Mercedes. Helen Herman knew that Matthew understood what this meant by 'communication', "Dior and Mercedes did not directly interfere with the intention of getting you married. ”
She organized the language and added, "Mercedes-Benz will start advertising your Mercedes-Benz G-Class off-road vehicle on the global market starting in May. ”
Matthew knew that Mercedes-Benz had reached an agreement with Arnold Schwarzenegger to launch the ad in May, also to echo "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and increase the spread and impact of the advertisement.
Helen Herman continued, "Dior's original intention to release two new real-me fragrances at the end of June or early July has now been brought forward to June, and the new Charlize Theron campaign has also been brought forward to May. ”
"I want to echo the movie. Matthew could have thought of that.
"Dior and Mercedes mean. Helen Herman glanced at the car and vaguely saw a paparazzi on a motorcycle following up, "In May and June, when advertising is intensive, you and Charlize Theron are better a loving couple, if you can get married after you are engaged, if not, you should also choose to break up peacefully." ”
Matthew nodded, "The engagement was agreed upon by us before, and it is impossible to get married." ”
Helen Herman also knew this and said, "What do you think?"
"As long as you don't get married, it's easy to talk about everything else. Matthew was very adamant, "It doesn't hurt us, does it?"
He then asked, "These should be beyond the scope of normal contract endorsements, right?
"Absolutely. Helen Herman added, "Dior and Mercedes can sponsor most of the cost of your engagement ceremony." ”
Matthew nodded, "That's pretty much it. He asked, "What about Charlize?"
Helen Herman moved again, "Her agent had already called before you came over, and Charlize Theron had no objections. ”
This is not surprising to Matthew, who knew from the moment he hit the Oscars that Charlize Theron also wanted to be a superstar.
There's more than one path to becoming a superstar, but there's one thing in common, it's to be big enough to be famous.
When the Mercedes SUV arrived on the southern slopes of Beverly Hills, Bella Anderson reminded, "There were a lot of paparazzi coming in behind. ”
Matthew turned his head to look in the rearview mirror and said, "Leave them alone. ”
What they did today was meant to be high-profile, and without paparazzi and entertainment reporters to follow, it would have no meaning.
Two minutes later, the Mercedes SUV pulled up near the wrought iron gate of a mansion, and Helen Herman said to the co-pilot, "You go down, I'll wait in the car." ”
Matthew didn't say much, pushed the car door and got out of the car, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes immediately came over the wrought iron gate, and showed a bright smile from afar, "Hello, Mr. Horner." ”
"Hello. Matthew nodded at the real estate agent and said, "I've kept you waiting." ”
The lights flashed behind him and across the road, and Matthew knew that the paparazzi and reporters were taking pictures of him without looking.
A black sedan also turned into the road at this point, stopped on the other side of the door, and then Charlize Theron got out of the car and walked over.
By the time she joined up with Matthew, the flashing lights came on more often.
"They're looking at the house again!" an entertainment reporter said, "You don't really want to get married, do you?"
Someone responded, "It's not impossible, this house is on the market for sale, and it seems to be selling for more than 10 million dollars." ”
This is not the first time Matthew and Charlize Theron have viewed properties together, and there is news circulating in the media.
Following the real estate agent into the wrought iron gate, Charlize Theron asked in a low voice, "You know what?"
Matthew looked at the layout inside the gate and nodded, "Got it, I'm okay with that." ”
Charlize Theron then said, "I'm okay with that. ”
"This mansion was built eleven years ago. The real estate agent timely introduced, "Last year, it was renovated by Bruce Development and Design Company, and the construction area was ......."
Matthew interrupted at this point, "Miss Theron is not familiar with the imperial system. ”
The real estate agent hurriedly swallowed the previous words and said again, "The construction area is 1,120 square meters, covering an area of 7,250 square meters. ”
The property is indeed very large, and it is a long and narrow shape with a long north-south and relatively short east-west shape, and Matthew stands near the gate with a feeling that there is no end in sight.
To be precise, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a manor.
The entrance to the manor is a double-open wrought-iron gate, the iron gate adopts a fully enclosed design, as long as it is closed to isolate the eyes of the outside snooping, on both sides of the door is a tall white stone fence, the garden of the vestibule is close to the wall, which is planted with tall evergreen trees, green vegetation can not only decorate the scenery, but also play a role in protecting the privacy of the manor's interior.
The center of the vestibule garden is facing the iron gate, that is, the place where they walked all the way in, is a stone road paved with granite, wide enough to accommodate two cars driving side by side, the stone road extends out for dozens of meters, and at the end sits a beige two-story European-style building, in front of which is planted a row of unusually tall palm trees, and in the middle of the palm trees, a unique fountain was built.
"Let's go to the house. The real estate agent led the way, waited for Matthew and Charlize Theron to follow, and pointed to the off-white building, "This is the main building, which includes eight bedrooms, three cloakrooms, ten bathrooms, indoor and outdoor pools, and a wine cellar with hundreds of bottles of wine on the ground floor, and an eight-seat private theater on the first floor, with a ninety-inch high-definition screen, which can meet the needs of daily movie-watching." ”
"Sounds great. Matthew asked Charlize Theron next to him, "What do you think?"
Charlize Theron cooperated, "Always look at the real thing first." ”
The real estate agent immediately answered, "Mr. Horner, Miss Theron, let's go inside now." ”
Matthew waved his hand, "You lead the way." ”
The three of them quickly walked past the hot spring, and he took a second look, the hot spring had a unique shape, and it looked like a white marble texture.
The price of such a house is quite expensive, with a price tag of up to $28 million.
Of course, Matthew didn't have the money to buy such an expensive property, and the main purpose of coming here this time was to use this extremely high-priced property to continue to create hype.
Of course, if the house is good, he will also consider buying it.
