"The winner of the Fan Favorite Male Star Award is ......"
On the stage of the Wilton Theatre, Anne Hathaway opened the envelope in her hand and announced the answer, "Matthew Horner!"
There was a round of applause, and Matthew stood up and applauded, but there was no sense of surprise, because Helen Herman negotiated with the organizers that he, as one of the biggest actors in attendance, would definitely win a grand finale.
When passing by the crew of "Mean Girls", he hugged Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried, who stood up to congratulate, and then walked onto the stage, took a strangely shaped black trophy from Anne Hathaway, and stood in front of the microphone.
"Oh, this trophy is heavy!" Matthew looked down, shook it hard, and continued, "I'm very excited to get this award, it's the biggest recognition for me, thank you to the fans who support me, you are the best, I will always love you!"
He didn't drag everyone out of the mess and thank him, and there was no need for that.
Matthew then went backstage, and the Fan Favorite Male Star Award was one of the finale awards of the awards party, followed by the Fan Favorite Movie Award, and the Junior Hollywood Awards came to an end.
However, no matter how big or small Hollywood's awards are, the mode of holding them has a tendency to be on par with the Oscars.
After the awards party, there is a grand celebration party, and the guests who attend the awards ceremony do not have to leave the theater, the party is held in the hotel next to the theater, and the theater has a special passage to enter the hotel.
Because he had made an appointment with Amanda Seyfried to attend the celebration party, Matthew did not leave directly like some people, but walked through the long passage and entered the banquet hall of the hotel.
As with the "Oscar Night" party, the gala dinner offers a rich catering.
Most of the stars who walk the red carpet, especially those who pay attention to image and appearance, will eat less or no food at noon and evening on the red carpet, and now that the awards ceremony is over, they are basically hungry and their eyes are green.
One of Matthew's biggest impressions after attending an "Oscar Night" party was the big-name celebrities who ate like gluttonous food at the party.
The food was delivered, Matthew took small bites, half a steak was down, he felt that his hungry rumbling stomach was much better, and he looked up to look ahead, there were people sitting in many places in the restaurant, probably because the position was just opposite, he saw the Olsen sisters again, but this time the youngest Elizabeth Olsen was not there, and it was the twins who were sitting there eating.
The sound of clattering high heels sounded, and a woman in a red evening dress walked over, the woman was tall, about thirty years old, and her appearance could also be classified as beautiful.
What Matthew didn't expect was that the woman came directly to him.
"Hello, Mr. Horner. The woman in red pointed to the chair to Matthew's left and asked, "Is there anyone here?"
This is not the scene of the awards ceremony that the seats have been arranged in advance, Matthew picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said, "No one, you can sit casually." ”
After the woman in red sat down, she took the initiative to reach out and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Horner. She introduced herself, "I'm Claire Wilkinson. ”
Matthew squeezed her hand lightly, "Hello, it's nice to meet you, Miss Wilkinson." ”
As he spoke, he took a quick look at the woman in red named Claire Wilkinson, making sure he didn't know her, and the name didn't look like the name of a Hollywood star in his mind.
Matthew looked up at his watch, and Amanda Seyfried hadn't come over yet.
Claire Wilkinson smiled at him, and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I just saw Mr. Horner looking at the Olsen sisters?"
"Huh?" Matthew frowned slightly, not understanding what she meant.
"I wonder if Mr. Horner is interested in Sister Olson?" Claire Wilkinson said in a low voice, but her words were astonishing, "If you're interested, I can introduce you to it." ”
Matthew is not an innocent teenager, and it doesn't take much thought to know what Claire Wilkinson's referral means.
"Miss Wilkinson......" he said quietly, "are you kidding?"
"Certainly not kidding. Claire Wilkinson looked very serious and whispered, "I guess Mr. Horner has heard that there are organizations like ours in Hollywood and modeling. ”
Matthew doesn't speak, which is not a very secret thing in Hollywood, and some starlets, models and even TV presenters sell themselves through middlemen in exchange for huge cash rewards.
It is still relatively rare in Hollywood, and it is said that it is very popular in the modeling circle, and he heard James McAvoy say that as long as he can afford a high enough price, it is not impossible to date those British supermodels.
This is not only for women, but also for a large number of men.
Modeling services like the Red Penguin Company are relatively low-end services.
This is different from using a body to exchange jobs, and exchanging a body for a job in Hollywood is not new, and no one will despise using it as a pedal.
For example, Brad Pitt, Matthew paid attention to his shocking gossip with Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston some time ago, and saw that the TMZ website turned up Brad Pitt's old past.
It is said that Brad Pitt went to Hollywood alone with a little money, and with his handsome face and humble attitude, he won the favor of the gay actor Tom Lachner, who hired Pete as his man, in addition to basic errands, cleaning, dog walking, etc., Brad Pitt also had to meet some of his "other needs", and finally Brad Pitt used Tom Lachina as a springboard and successfully entered Hollywood.
However, TMZ's revelations are not 100% correct, and there is no way to confirm these old stories.
Claire Wilkinson saw that Matthew was silent, thinking that he was moved, and added, "Miss Olson will be happy to spend the night with an attractive man like Mr. Horner, as long as you are willing to pay a small payment." ”
Matthew first turned his head to look at the Olsen sisters, who were still eating, and then turned back to Claire Wilkinson, he was not sure if what the woman said was true or not, after all, according to media reports, the Olsen sisters were absolutely successful people and representatives of young Dorkin.
In an instant, his vigilance was raised to the highest.
Hollywood not only has formal professions such as stars, directors and agents, but there are also many people who rely on this circle to be abducted.
And this is a dinner party for the Junior Hollywood Awards, not an "Oscar Night" party, and the entry barrier is not high.
Matthew remained silent and asked lightly, "How much is this little reward?"
Claire Wilkinson held up a finger, "You're going to pay a million dollars upfront!"
Hearing this number, Matthew raised an eyebrow, and before he could speak, Claire Wilkinson added, "If the Olsen sisters are together, pay three million dollars." ”
Matthew was tempted to complain about what a diamond was, but he held back.
Because Claire Wilkinson's words are not finished, "These three million dollars are not just tonight's pay, we will give you a product of equal value." ”
This completely confused Matthew, and a word called MLM popped out of his head, could it be that the Olsen sisters want to develop him as a downline, and then let him develop others as downlines?
Claire Wilkinson then added, "The Olsen sisters have just taken over the presidency of their invest, Double Star Entertainment Group, which has a large number of brands under their umbrella, from clothes, books, furniture, DVDs to cosmetics, and we will give you the equivalent of three million dollars of Olson sisters' brand merchandise." Of course, we both want to declare to the outside world that you recognize the brand of the Olsen sisters very much, so you buy a lot of ......."
Matthew now understands that if Claire Wilkinson is not a liar, the Olsen sisters are using this special way to promote and sell the brand they founded.
He looked over to Sister Olsen again.
Claire Wilkinson then asked, "Mr. Horner, what's going on with that?"
Just as the Olsen sisters over there stood up, Matthew didn't feel interested at all, these two sisters were not tall, but they had breasts, hunchbacks, and rickety waists......
"Do you want to be paid first?" asked Matthew.
"Yes. Claire Wilkinson laughs, "There's also a minimum of a third of the deposit." ”
Matthew didn't want to hear her continue, on the one hand, he was really not interested in the Olsen sisters, and on the other hand, who knows if this woman was the agent of the Olsen sisters?
It just so happened that he saw Amanda Seyfried enter the ballroom, pointed to her side, and said to Claire Wilkinson, "All I can say is sorry, I don't have any interest in such a deal." Miss Wilkinson, please, my female companion is here. ”
Claire Wilkinson frowned slightly, turned her head to look, saw Amanda Seyfried coming over, and said politely, "Excuse me, Mr. Horner." ”
She got up and walked away and walked to another single male star in the distance.
Amanda Seyfried came to Matthew's side, looked at Claire Wilkinson's back, and asked curiously, "Who is that woman?"
Matthew told the truth, "The salesman saw that I was not interested and left." ”
"I can come here and sell it. Amanda Seyfried muttered, suddenly lowered her head, leaned into Matthew's ear and said, "I just went upstairs and opened the room." ”
Hearing her say this, Matthew immediately lost interest in staying here and said, "Let's go?"
"Yes!" replied Amanda Seyfried.
