As soon as the first rays of sunlight fell in front of Warner Studios, Phyllis Beretta arrived, and since it was still early, there were no reporters and other fans at the door, so she easily found the most prominent position, and then took off her worn-out large backpack and took out a series of equipment that she carried every day.

The sun fell on her dark skin, and as an ordinary black girl from Queens, Phyllis Beretta looked nothing but unremarkable.

Before the reporters and paparazzi and other fans came over, she set up all her gear.

A pair of simple folding display shelves were stretched out, and on them hung an old cloth poster showing a smiling young man, tall, strong, handsome, and handsome......

"It's so pretty. ”

Phyllis Beretta stared at the poster, then unfolded a small poster in her hand, and the words on the poster were equally conspicuous - Phyllis Beretta will always support Matthew Horner!

As the sun rises, paparazzi and entertainment reporters begin to come to the door of Warner Studios, and it is not a secret that Matthew Horner's new film is being filmed here, and you can get a good piece of entertainment news here.

For example, this black female fan of Matthew Horner, who has always been at Warner Studios lately.

After several entertainment reporters saw Phyllis Beretta, they immediately came to take pictures opposite her, Phyllis Beretta held up the poster, affectionate and serious, with firm eyes, like a meticulous scientist who does experiments, and takes her star-chasing career extremely seriously.

Reporters have come to take pictures, as perennial entertainment reporters, they know very well that there has never been a shortage of crazy fans in the entertainment industry, especially in recent years, the fan base has undergone profound changes, and "star chaser" has long been an old-fashioned title.

Phyllis Beretta enjoys the feeling of attention from media reporters, and occasionally she appears in stories related to Matthew, which always excites her for a long time.

She is only 22 years old this year, and she considers herself the most die-hard fan of Matthew Horner, according to the default classification of the fandom, she is a crazy front-line fan, that is, a fan who goes to various scenes to chase stars.

Since graduating from high school, Phyllis Beretta has had three years of experience chasing stars and shooting on the spot, and when Matthew is engaged in a promotional campaign, she will travel thousands of miles to the scene to capture and shoot Matthew's every move with a camera.

Last year, for example, she traveled to more than a dozen cities including New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Seattle, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Toronto, and Matthew followed wherever she promoted Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Coffin and Spartan 300.

even went to Sydney to attend the Australian premiere of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", in order to follow in the footsteps of his idol and cheer for Matthew.

As an avid frontline fan, Phyllis Beretta knows a lot about Matthew and shares it with other die-hard fans to quickly find out what flights he's frequented, where he's staying, and more.

Many times, if Matthew travels, she chooses to "follow the flight" – that is, buy a ticket for the same flight as Matthew.

Sometimes Phyllis Beretta can spend hundreds of dollars to get this information from Matthew in time, and although the brokerage has always been relatively tight, she thinks it's worth it.

One of them, there was a problem in the first class of the flight, Matthew moved to the ordinary cabin and took a seat in the same row of seats as her, and Phyllis Beretta almost fainted with happiness, feeling happier than winning the $5 million jackpot.

As the sun rose higher and higher, the time approached 8 a.m., and more and more fans and reporters gathered in front of Warner Studios, and Phyllis Beretta also saw several other front-line fans like her, and secretly greeted those people from a distance.

They are both die-hard fans of Matthew and know each other.

At the entrance of Warner Studios, more than a dozen Matthew fans showed their presence in various forms, which became a unique landscape.

The stars who are waiting are yet to arrive, and entertainment journalists are happy to photograph these fans.

Phyllis Beretta's dark complexion can't hide the excitement and excitement on her face, even though she has encountered many difficulties in recent years.

The road to chasing stars is long, and what bothers her the most is the expenses.

Over the years, she has spent tens of thousands of dollars just to buy airline tickets.

She is from Queens, New York, and her family is not wealthy, and the money is cut out of the salary she earns from her part-time job.

However, she has long developed the habit of "picking", and sometimes in order to chase Matthew out of location, she can squeeze into a small room of less than 20 square feet with three companions, and only eat a loaf of bread a day in order to follow the photo.

Every time Matthew does an event, she strives to be there.

A few years ago, she went to Dominica to watch Matthew's on-site shooting, in order to avoid the drive of local security personnel, she once hid in the grass for four or five hours, and was bitten by mosquitoes; in order to get a better shooting angle, she once climbed a two-meter-high fence, and a camera worth thousands of dollars accidentally fell and shattered on the spot; also in Dominica, a companion climbed halfway up the mountain in order to capture the idol filming in the mountains, and slipped under her feet and almost fell off the cliff.

As a front-line fan, the photos she takes will be sent to the support station set up by fans specifically for Matthew, and the photos of good quality will be processed into albums by special fans for more fans to enjoy.

It took a lot of hardship for this, but Phyllis Beretta always felt that it was worth it, as long as they gave more, Matthew could get more people's attention, or attract new fans, and more importantly, it also made Matthew more popular, and made the media and brands aware of Matthew's value.

"Hi, Phyllis. Someone next to him greeted, "Can you let me borrow a seat?" “

Phyllis Beretta turned her head and asked, slightly surprised, "Christine, why are you here?"

As she spoke, she stepped aside so that Christine would have a place to stand.

Christine also took out a poster with the words "Matthew Horner" written on it from her backpack, held it high above her head, and then said to Phyllis Beretta, "It's so stuffy to always hold in front of a computer screen, so I'm here today to breathe." ”

Although both are die-hard Matthew fans, unlike Phyllis Beretta, Christine is not a frontline fan, but a screen fan.

Christine is one of the many screen fans in Matthew's fan support station, and her support for idols is mainly reflected in front of the computer screen, through the Internet and social media to brush up on Matthew's traffic, increase popularity, and do publicity.

They have a special section in the support station, and if there is any list about Matthew that can be voted for, they will actively respond to the call and vote like crazy, even if it is the most inappropriate selection held by a small gossip website, they will send Matthew to the first place on the list.

Christine's group far outnumbered frontline fans like Phyllis Beretta, with hundreds of thousands of people at its peak, all of whom voluntarily signed up and volunteered to participate, and all of them worked hard for Matthew.

Once brushed the list, taking advantage of a special loophole, Christine alone swiped thousands of votes for Matthew.

The support station has a special technical expert to update Matthew's various data on the Internet in the form of a table every two hours, and you can clearly see the ups and downs and rankings of each period from the table.

For example, Matthew is involved in the shooting of a new movie or competing for a project, and there is a special summary every morning, and the spirit of the companions in the data group who patiently counts every day touches her: she is never fighting alone.

Of course, she had also heard that the support station was actually Matthew's agency, but she didn't care.

In the support station, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, fans from different professions, different jobs, and different ages spontaneously formed a division of labor and cooperation according to their own strengths, with only one purpose: all for Matthew.

For fans, as long as it can help idols, whether it is swiping the list, chartering the venue, or on-site support, it is what they think is a rational choice.

While fans and entertainment reporters waited, Matthew's car drove into Burbank.

"You're going to get off in front of Warner Studios today. ”

Bella Anderson, who was sitting in the passenger seat, reminded Matthew in the back, "There's news from the support station that there will be a large number of fans waiting for you in front of the studio today, don't forget to talk to them." ”

Matthew was reading today's script, didn't look up, and said, "I remember." ”

Whether it is Bella Anderson's side, or Helen and Angel Agency's side, the work of fan integration has never relaxed, not only with a large number of professional fans like Brian Lister, but also a specially established fan support station to further coordinate the power of fans.

For any business star, fans are always a part that cannot be ignored.

Like his fan support station, the degree of specialization is very high, and there are 9 departments, including the film department, the review department, the copywriting department, the publicity department, the video department, the front line department, the art department, the painting department, and the list department, and the staff of each department have extremely high professional quality.

Just as word-of-mouth for a film can be marketed, so can fans.

Matthew is well aware that with the rapid development of the Internet and social media, the traditional celebrity economy is also changing, and what he is doing is adapting to the change.

And he is different from the vast majority of celebrities, he has a very good mentality, and attaches great importance to communication with fans, in order to prevent Hades from seeing the situation of ghosts and ghosts, he has warned various staff around him more than once that in addition to identifying people with dangerous tendencies, they must not treat fans roughly.

In the past, many celebrities used to play big names or other negative reports, which were often not the wishes of the celebrities themselves, but were created by the staff around them.

The Mercedes-Benz sedan stopped in front of the Warner Studios, and as soon as Matthew got out of the car, he was surrounded by a heavy surrounding.
