Chapter 52: There is a beginning and an end
(My daughter has diarrhea these days, more than a dozen times a day, and her heart is haggard...... Ask for referral votes as usual!Guys, give more. )
"There were no language classes in the afternoon. Walking out of the acting classroom, Rachel McAdams asked Matthew, "Where are you going?"
Matthew thought for a moment and said, "I want to go buy a phone." He turned to look at Rachel McAdams, "Do you know where there are cell phones around here?"
That second-hand phone has a serious sound leak, and it's time to replace it.
"There's a big mall on the east side of Valley Boulevard. Rachel McAdams has been there, "There are counters that sell mobile phones, Nokia and Motorola have them, why don't I go there with you?"
Matthew nodded, "Okay, just help me with the staff, I don't know much about these things." ”
When he used his mobile phone, he was already seeing smartphones everywhere, and he really didn't know much about these old-fashioned mobile phones.
"I'll pick up the car. Rachel McAdams prepares to go to the parking lot, "I'll be waiting for you at the old place in front of the school." ”
Rachel McAdams went to the parking lot, and Matthew walked towards the school gate alone, thinking about his gossip scandal with Britney Spears on the U.S. News Report today, and thinking about whether he should visit Britney Spears in the hospital.
I guess there will be a lot of media reporters at the entrance of the hospital, right?
His second-hand phone rang at this time, and it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, this is Matthew Horner. He said politely.
"It's me, Helen. Helen Herman's voice came from inside the earpiece, "You're still in school?"
Matthew changed his hand to hold his mobile phone and answered the question, "Have you changed your mobile phone number?"
"This is my private mobile number. Helen Herman simply explained, "I'm not in Los Angeles right now, Britney's agent is looking for me, and I don't need my previous phone number these days, so I'm calling this number if I have something to do." ”
Matthew thought about it for a while, and guessed Helen Herman's intentions, she obviously wanted to let this false scandal brew for a while.
Just as Matthew was thinking about moving forward, Helen Herman said on the phone again, "Also, you went to visit Britney in the hospital today, don't you know her very well? ”
"Ah......" Matthew had thought of this before, but Helen Herman also thought of this, "I'll go in the afternoon, now I'll go buy a mobile phone first." ”
Helen Herman finally advised, "If Britney comes to talk to you, remember! Don't do anything! Don't make any promises! I'll talk about everything when I get back! I need you to be exposed now! You have a certain reputation, and what I'm going to talk about next can go well!"
Matthew immediately asked, "Is it a new job?"
"Yes. Helen Herman also doesn't deny it, "I'm talking to you about a character in a series of miniseries, the kind with a lot of lines and characterization." ”
"Good!good!good!" Matthew came to the school gate and nodded busily, "I will definitely cooperate with you!"
The character who can be said so seriously by Helen Herman must have more weight than the barbarian leader in "Gladiator".
Hanging up the phone, Matthew walked out of the school gate, and suddenly a dazzling white light lit up, making him unconsciously cover his eyes, and before he understood what was going on, more than a dozen reporters surrounded him, and the microphone and small tape recorder were handed directly in front of him.
"Mr. Matthew Horner, are you really in a relationship with Britney Spears?"
Miscellaneous questions flew in at the same time.
"When did you start dating?"
"Did you sleep with Britney?"
"Britney wasn't a virgin when she was with you?"
Matthew didn't say anything, and the reporters and paparazzi had already sexualized them.
"Are you going to get married?"
"Did you pursue Britney for another purpose?"
For a while, Matthew was a little stunned by the reporter's question, he had never faced a media reporter, and he had no experience in dealing with this at all.
Fortunately, he kept Helen Herman's advice in mind, no matter what the reporter paparazzi asked, he always kept his mouth shut, didn't spit out a word, and just walked forward step by step.
He had seen Rachel McAdams' car parked not far ahead,
The paparazzi and reporters refused to let him go, the flashing lights of the camera never disappeared, and all kinds of messy questions kept ringing out, and even some reporters absurdly asked Britney if she was pregnant this time......
Compared to them, Matthew felt that the Elena boyard he had come into contact with was simply a good journalist with a conscience and professional ethics.
It took a lot of effort for him to get close to Rachel McAdams's car, and then found a gap and glanced at Rachel McAdams, who had been paying attention here, and when Rachel McAdams opened the co-pilot's door, he suddenly dodged away from several reporters in front of him, rushed into the car with lightning speed, and closed the door hard, Rachel McAdams had already started the car and rushed out directly on the accelerator.
As the car walked away, the reporters gradually dispersed, and two reporters did not leave, they were standing together and talking about the same newspaper with the tag of the same newspaper.
The guy with the small tape recorder asked the person with the camera, "Did you take a picture of the people in the car?"
"It's been filmed!" said the person with the camera with certainty, "It's a woman sitting in the driver's seat, and she's a blonde beauty!"
"We've got something to write about! Maybe we'll make the headlines!" the man with the small tape recorder laughed happily, muttering, "Britney's new boyfriend is suspected of dating other women while she's hospitalized with an injury......"
The person with the camera also laughed, and readers of such a hot news will love it.
They then left, and Rachel McAdams' car drifted away, and when the car was away from the entrance of the Los Angeles School of Performing Arts, Matthew made an exaggerated gesture.
"What to pray?" Rachel McAdams asked curiously.
"The god of luck favors ......," Matthew said exaggeratedly, "I will get in the car alive." ”
He once watched the madness of the paparazzi on the Internet, and there was a very crazy paparazzi and studio on the other side of the Pacific Ocean at that time, but seeing it and facing it directly are completely different feelings.
He originally thought that people like himself or Yelena Boyard would be very shameless, and compared to the questions of those paparazzi, they were definitely moral models.
"Is that an exaggeration?" Rachel McAdams asked, stopping at a red light ahead, "a lot of people are looking forward to this scene." ”
Matthew didn't answer, but asked, "Why didn't you call me to remind me?"
Rachel McAdams started the car, waited for the car to pull through the intersection, and said, "I'm calling you, but you're on the phone." ”
"Yes!" Matthew patted his forehead, "I've been on the phone with my agent. ”
The car soon arrived at the mall that Rachel McAdams said, and after parking the car, the two went straight to the mobile phone counter in the mall.
"What do you want?" Rachel McAdams asked Matthew as she stood at the counter, "Do you have a functional claim?"
Matthew said bluntly, "If it's cheap, you can just call!"
What other functions do mobile phones need in this era?
In line with the first principle of spending less, Matthew, at the suggestion of Rachel McAdams, bought a Nokia straight phone, which had few features, but it was enough for him to make calls.
"Didn't you get paid a lot?"
As she walked towards the outside of the mall, Rachel McAdams asked curiously, "There's a nice part-time job, why are you being so stingy with yourself?" ”
Matthew shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I lost my part-time job, I took too much leave, and I was fired." ”
Rachel McAdams shook her head, "It's a shame that your job is perfect for an actor part-time." ”
"Who's to say it isn't. Matthew had a headache, "It's hard to find another job like this." ”
As the two approached the mall, Rachel McAdams suggested, "You might as well be a full-time actor." ”
Matthew was also considering, "You have to make enough money to support yourself." ”
He looked at the time, "I'll treat you to dinner at noon." ”
Rachel McAdams shook her head, "I made an appointment with my agent for lunch and will go to the other side of Valley Avenue in a moment. ”
"Got a job?" asked Matthew.
"Probably. Rachel McAdams wasn't sure either, "I don't know either." ”
"Then you go. ”
Knowing this, Matthew wouldn't have asked Rachel McAdams to accompany him over to buy a cell phone, "I call a taxi. ”
The two spoke a few more words, Rachel McAdams left first, Matthew called a taxi, bought another bouquet of flowers, waited in front of the mall for a while, and after the car came, asked the driver to go to the University of California Medical School.
Yesterday evening, he called, Britney Spears has transferred to the University of California School of Medicine, which has top experts in physical therapy for sports injuries.
There may be reporters or paparazzi at the entrance of the medical school, and Matthew is mentally prepared, if there are no reporters and paparazzi blocking the entrance of the medical school to pay attention to Britney Spears, he will not go.
He still feels a headache when dealing with those crazy entertainment reporters, but fortunately he doesn't need to answer questions, just follow Helen Herman's instructions and keep his mouth shut.
The taxi arrived at the entrance of the University of California School of Medicine, and after paying the fare, Matthew did not rush to get out of the car, but first observed, there were quite a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the medical school, most of them were young boys and girls, I think they should be Britney's fans, and some people were holding cameras or video cameras, which must be reporters.
The taxi didn't attract attention, Matthew pushed the door and got out of the car, and he could have walked into the medical school gate smoothly, but he slowed down.
"Hey, who's that person?" A reporter saw him, and then recognized the face on the "U.S. News Report", and immediately shouted, "Matthew Horner is here! Look, Matthew Horner is here!"
After saying that, he was the first to rush over.
