Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

The huge ballroom was silent, and dozens of guests stood in the ballroom, looking at the soon-to-be Hollywood stars on stage.

The engagement ceremony was held in the form of a cocktail party, and there were no special seating and banquets.

A videographer came from one side of the stage to the bottom of the stage, carrying a camera lens that gave the priest a close-up, then a wide-angle lens to include Matthew and Charlize Theron.

Matthew is not religious, and invites the pastor over, on the one hand, to take a situation, and on the other hand, to take care of Charlize Theron.

Not all of them, like him, do not have clear beliefs.

Matthew stood to the pastor's left and looked at the cameraman below, the videographer was from TMZ, which had previously been negotiated between Matthew and Charlize Theron to buy the exclusive video and image rights to the engagement ceremony for $1.5 million.

Of course, Matthew and Charlize Theron are not stupid and will not ask for this money, and when the relevant reports of TMZ come out, they will jointly issue a public statement to donate the $1.5 million to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

In this way, they can not only realize the original intention of hype and publicity, but also be generous to others and earn a good reputation for themselves, which is definitely a very cost-effective deal.

With Helen Herman planning behind the scenes, and Matthew's face is thick enough and his heart is dark enough, he naturally has to find a way to maximize the benefits.

Otherwise, wouldn't this show have been done in vain?

The ritual of engagement is simple and is mainly divided into two parts, the exhortation of the priest and the exchange of engagement rings.

The well-known marriage pastor in Beverly Hills stepped forward and said aloud, "Before God, I exhort the two couples to remember that love and faithfulness are the cornerstones upon which joy and eternity are built, and that you must always keep the solemn vows you have made, and that you will steadfastly seek and follow the will of the Father, and that your lives will always be happy, harmonious, and joyful, and that the families you will build in the future will be able to withstand any changes." ”

Matthew stood solemnly, listening attentively.

Charlize Theron, dressed in a white gown, stood there quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.

The pastor spoke clearly and in a deep tone, "You must remember that you are not alone in a new journey in life, and when you are faced with difficulties, do not be afraid to ask others for help, your friends, lovers, and churches will lend you a helping hand." Receiving assistance is not a shame, it is an act of sincerity, and all around us, the Lord will reach out as if we were to help, and the hand of Jesus Christ is everywhere. ”

In closing, the pastor said, "Most importantly, we are now witnessing the union of the newlyweds together, Amen. ”

The priest stepped back and said expertly, "You can exchange engagement rings." ”

Matthew and Charlize Theron each stepped forward and came to the center of the stage, where Michael Fassbender on one side immediately followed and handed the ring box to Matthew.

Matthew took out a diamond ring for a woman and placed it on Charlize Theron's hand.

Then, Charlize Theron's mother also came over, and she hugged her daughter before placing a delicate ring box on Charlize Theron's hand.

Charlize Theron took out the men's ring and put it on Matthew.

The banquet hall burst into applause, all the guests applauded vigorously, and Matthew kissed Charlize Theron, and this simple and solemn engagement ceremony came to an end.

Under the stage, Yelena Boyar crept up behind the cameraman and asked, "Are you okay?"

The videographer nodded, "All the best." ”

Elena Boyard did as Matthew instructed and said, "It's okay, the rest don't need to be recorded." ”

The immediate boss spoke, and the cameraman immediately turned off the camera without any hesitation, and Elena Boyar said, "You will report back to the agency to deal with the video now, and when will it be released, and I will talk about it when I go back." ”

"No problem. The videographer began to pack up his equipment.

When he had finished packing his things and left through the side door, he glanced back at the stage, where Geda Theron, the mother of Charlize Theron, who was speaking on behalf of the woman, was finishing her brief speech and walking down the stage.

"It's your turn. On one side of the stage, Michael Fassbender stabbed James McAvoy, who straightened his bow tie, "I know. ”

He strode to the center of the stage.

James McAvoy was a very good friend with Matthew long before he became famous, knew a lot about him, and knew that he had no family, so when he heard Matthew say that he was ready to let him serve as the man's representative, he agreed without hesitation.

He doesn't think there is anyone else who is more suitable than Michael Fassbender.

"Ladies and gentlemen. ”

Standing in the center of the stage, James McAvoy showed that serious feeling that is characteristic of the British, "Matthew Horner, my good friend Matthew Horner, was very happy when he offered to be the man's representative. ”

Matthew looked at James McAvoy, and he didn't know what the guy was going to say.

"Who is he?" Elena Boyard asked Helen Herman curiously, "Matthew still has such a good friend?"

"Very good friend. Helen Herman pointed to Michael Fassbender on the side of the stage and said, "And that person, the three of them have been friends for several years, and Matthew has a lot more friends with the two of them than Johnny Depp." ”

Elena Boyar nodded slightly.

On stage, James McAvoy continued, "I am honoured and pleasantly surprised that I promise Matthew that he will do his best to complete the task, which is more difficult for me than all the challenges I have faced before. Then he laughed, "Also, thank you so much for the trust he placed in me, in a way, I was almost touched." ”

Matthew laughed as well, muttering, "This guy." ”

Charlize Theron said, "It's fun for the British to make jokes. ”

"Matthew is a very special person. James McAvoy turned to look at him, "He's not a good guy in the traditional sense, but he's a best friend, and I've been very lucky to be friends with Matthew from the beginning." ”

He laughed again, "I remember when we used to chat, Matthew asked Michael and me, if we want to find a wife, is $100,000 enough? I told him he needed $200,000, and Matthew prayed to make $200,000 quickly." ”

James McAvoy shouted to Matthew, "Matthew, are you making $200,000 right now?"

Matthew smiled and didn't respond to James McAvoy's joke.

This kind of speech can't be stinky and long, and after two jokes, James McAvoy got serious and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are here today to congratulate Matthew Horner and Charles Theron on this adventure that is about to begin. ”

Once he became serious, he was a standard English gentleman.

James McAvoy looked at Charlize Theron and said, "Charlleze, Matthew Horner, this man, you deserve it!"

Hearing this, Charlize Theron had the urge to roll her eyes, but she knew that it was not appropriate now, so she not only forcibly endured it, but also turned her head to look at Matthew next to her.

Ma Xian also looked over, and the two looked at each other affectionately.

The banquet hall once again burst into applause.

Matthew and Charlize Theron also applauded the crowd and gave a round of applause to James McAvoy.

As James McAvoy walked off the stage, the procedures of the engagement ceremony were all completed, and Matthew waited for Charlize Theron to change into a light dress, each with a glass of wine, and entered the banquet hall to thank the guests who came to congratulate them.

"Let's have a toast together. ”

Johnny Depp looked at Matthew and greeted Keanu Reeves, "Congratulations to Matthew and Sally together." ”

Keanu Reeves raised his glass to Matthew, "Congratulations. ”

"Thank you. Matthew said with a smile.

Charlize Theron nodded, and with Matthew, took a shallow sip.

Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron just left, and Zack Schneider walked over with David Ellison.

After Zack Snyder finished his congratulations, he said to Matthew, "When will I finish the work of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, David and I are still waiting for you." ”

David Ellison also said, "Matthew, I'm aiming for you...... And Zach, who just invested in this film, do you want to throw it aside?"

Matthew was a little helpless and said, "Please, both." I'm just an actor, and you asked me to be the leading actor, no problem, but I don't understand the preparation of the movie, and I can't help. He explained, "Before June, I'm going to report on the Pirates of the Caribbean set, and the filming period may be more than half a year. ”

Zack Schneider and David Ellison also know that this is true, and they are also a little worried about this, and now that the big hit of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" has become a foregone conclusion, Matthew's film contract will definitely be soft in the future, and they are afraid that there will be a situation where Matthew will break the agreement and no longer appear in this film.

It's not impossible, after the failure of "Heavenly Dynasty", many media are singing about epic films, although Matthew signed an agreement with Sky Dance, but now his commercial appeal is huge, I am afraid that some crews would rather pay a huge amount of liquidated damages and ask Matthew to be the leading actor......

Matthew is not stupid and said, "Zach, David, there is an agreement between us that I will definitely play this male lead." ”

Zack Schneider and David Ellison were relieved to receive Matthew's reassurances and left quickly.

"Are you talking about the adaptation of that illustration?" asked Charlize Theron, curious.

Matthew nodded slightly, "Yes, "Three Hundred Spartan Warriors." ”

"You better don't think about it. Charlize Theron suddenly changed the subject, "Let's think about how we break up in the future." ”
