Chapter 403: Bodyguard (Ask for Subscription)

Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

The reporter who asked the question wore a New York Post tag on his chest, and his eyes were unusually sharp and staring at Matthew, who was deliberately trying to make things difficult for this new Hollywood star who soared into the sky like a rocket.

After he got the news that Matthew Horner was at Warner Productions, he had already planned this question on the way to the source, and rushed over to reach a tacit understanding with most of his peers at the studio, and if Matthew Horner showed up, he would ask the first question.

In the period around the New Year, Matthew Horner is so hot that every move is news, even if he is far away in Europe, he continues to attract people's attention, not only grabbing the headlines of many entertainment and current affairs media, but also appearing on the cover of Time Magazine in one fell swoop.

Such a star is very popular, so red that he turns purple, and a journalist like him with a conscience and professional standards is dedicated to revealing the true face of these transitional people.

Didn't Matthew Horner do things to improve his reputation in the name of charity? Then he used the most simple and direct question, and it was also the most difficult to answer, and he directly scolded him, as long as he answered a little bit wrong, these peers present would definitely not let him go, and they would completely crush him with a sea of questions!

The question asked by this reporter obviously had a trap, and Matthew immediately realized it after hearing it.

Recently, the media and public opinion in North America have basically leaned towards his side, but once such a question is not answered well, it is very likely to lead to a turn of public opinion.

The personalities of many celebrities actually start to collapse from the most subtle places.

Of course, he could also choose not to answer, the security personnel of Warner Studios had already arrived, and they could have separated the car from the car to leave.

This is clearly not the best option.

Matthew is now a seasoned veteran, and he is more suspicious and cautious, so it is not difficult to find the pitfalls in the problem, and he has been nurtured by Helen Herman and Yelena Boyard for a long time, and he is also quick enough to deal with difficult problems of reporters.

If there is really no good answer, he will definitely keep his mouth shut, slap his ass and leave.

However, in just a few seconds, Matthew had already thought of the right answer, and in the face of a string of microphones and voice recorders from reporters, he said directly: "I really want to do this, but I understand that it is more useful to be an actor." Compared with spending a week in a field, I can make a movie to have the financial ability to do more good deeds, attract more attention, and call on more people to devote themselves to this cause. ”

The New York Post reporter didn't seem to expect him to give such an answer, opened his mouth, and for a moment there was nothing to say.

"F@#K!" the reporter burst into a foul mouth, "the answer is simply impeccable." ”

Before he had time to ask any more questions, a reporter rushed ahead, and other reporters had already given him face, so of course he would not continue to wait.

A female reporter asked aloud, "Did you feel very moved by the trip to Africa?"

Not all journalists want to destroy a person, they are more interested in what the reader pays attention to, and the reader's concern is their problem.

In the run-up to the New Year, entertainment and politics have been in the news, and after the New Year, Time magazine has been featured on the cover of Matthew and the United Nations' charity ambassadors.

"This trip to Africa has made me understand life more and more, and I understand more and more the feelings between people. ”

When it comes to packaging and promoting himself, Matthew has already gotten a true biography of Helen Herman, "When I stepped into the camp, the intensity of the tragedy made me dizzy. I've changed a lot since then. In a way, that experience made me stronger and more aware of the true meaning of life. In the future, I will not ask for anything from life or life. ”

Of course, Matthew couldn't say such in-depth, Helen Herman had specifically asked him to memorize some scripts before in case he needed them.

This is not over, Matthew said solemnly, "After people have a lot, they always want more things, and they don't even realize that they should be grateful for the things they have." Everyone takes life and life for granted, but when you are faced with a suffering crowd, you will find that you have done too little. ”

There were reporters asking questions, all kinds of questions, Matthew was not ready to answer any more, and said loudly, "I'm sorry, guys, I have other things to do today, so let's stop here." ”

The security personnel at Warner Studios hurriedly separated the reporters for him, and Matthew stopped caring about the reporters, got into the Mercedes SUV driven by Bella Anderson, and as he closed the door, he also isolated all kinds of disturbances from the outside.

"Go to Nanbo Great Street. Matthew said to Bella Anderson.

Bella Anderson nodded, quickly started the car and left Warner Studios.

Matthew just went to Warner Studios to take a look at the crew of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", although the script of this project has not yet been determined, the main framework and character settings are basically there, plus Frank Miller's original illustrations as a reference, the crew has entered the stage of selecting actors.

The crew of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" will not audition publicly, except for two important male supporting roles, the actors of all other roles will use actors under the angel agency.

After returning to Los Angeles from Kenya, Matthew received calls from James McAvoy and Michael Fassbinder, two of his best friends who decided to compete for roles in the film, and under his introduction, the two had already met with director Zack Schneider and producer Bearded Jack.

Zack Schneider and Bearded Jack have no opinion, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender are almost certain to be involved in the project, but the character Zack Schneider has to be considered.

Then there's the script, Matthew and David Ellison are on the same page, and they are both urging Zack Schneider and screenwriter Curt Johnstad to come up with a full version of the script as soon as possible.

Similar to Jerry Bruckheimer's project, the preparation for "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" will inevitably get ahead of the script, and even if Zack Schneider and screenwriter Curt Johnstad can complete the script this month, the script may still have to be revised, some scenes will have to be adjusted, and so on.

In fact, since the era of Hollywood's increasing commercialization in the 90s, many of Hollywood's best-selling commercial films often have producers and projects first, and then the producers hire screenwriters to write scripts.

After spending time on Jerry Bruckheimer's crew, Matthew got used to it.

While Matthew was thinking, the Mercedes SUV stopped in front of the café diagonally opposite the Angel Agency on Nanbo Great Street.

Matthew pushed the door and got out of the car, and before leaving, he said to Bella Anderson, "You go to the angel agency and wait for me." ”

Bella Anderson nodded and quickly drove the car diagonally across the road.

Here, Matthew pushed open the glass door of the café, he and Helen Herman were both regular customers here, and immediately a waiter came to greet him, Matthew waved his hand and walked directly towards the innermost coffee table, where Brown Williams was sitting.

When he was in Kenya before, Matthew had the idea of poaching Brown Williams, who had no bodyguards on his side and wanted to find a reliable candidate.

Of course, he wouldn't be so stupid as to think Brown Williams was good and just let him come and work next to him.

On the one hand, it feels unreliable at times, and on the other hand, Brown Williams may not want to come.

Back in Los Angeles, Helen Herman inquired about Brown Williams in many ways, including his current salary and personality, Hollywood works closely with the U.S. military, and Brown Williams also worked on Ridley Scott's crew, as long as it doesn't involve anything classified, it's not hard to find.

After more than ten days of feedback, Matthew got the news that Brown Williams, whether he was a soldier before or later as a bodyguard, is the kind of person who is trustworthy and has a high professional standard.

So, Matthew took advantage of Brown Williams' vacation in Los Angeles to ask him out.

"Hi Brown. When Matthew walked over, Brown Williams was looking down at the newspaper and quickly stood up and shook hands when he heard him say hello.

"Sorry, I was blocked at the Warner Studios by reporters. Matthew sat across from him and said with an apologetic smile, "Came a little late." ”

Brown Williams waved his hand, "It's not too late, it's ten minutes before our agreed time." ”

Matthew didn't dwell on this kind of question, and said directly, "Brown, we've known each other for a few years, right? ”

Brown Williams smiled, but didn't answer, he wasn't stupid, and he could see that Matthew still had something to say.

"When I went to Kenya and saw that you had chosen the profession of a bodyguard, I thought of one thing. Matthew smiled and said, "I need a reliable bodyguard on my side, too." ”

He saw that Brown Williams wanted to speak, and preemptively said, "You can listen to my side first." ”

Brown Williams nodded.

Matthew continued, "I'm paying for all the social benefits for you, and I'm spending most of the year in Los Angeles, and even when I'm out of town, I don't spend too long out of town except for filming. ”

When he was in Kenya, he learned that Brown Williams was married and had children, and that his home was in Santa Monica.

"The last one. Matthew said the most attractive treatment, "Double your salary!"

When he heard the second one, Brown Williams was already moved, and when he heard the last one, he thought seriously for a while and said, "Can you give me a few days to think about it?"

Matthew nodded slightly, "No problem." ”
