Chapter 40: Providing Clues
(Ask for a recommendation vote!)
There is a small park to the east of the Chinese restaurant, which is rarely crowded during working hours, and it is also where Matthew goes for his morning run, and he and the entertainment journalist Yelena Boyard meet here.
There was a forest near the entrance of the park, and in the clearing in the middle of the woods, there was a stone table, and Matthew sat on the stone bench next to it, and after waiting for about half an hour, he saw the tall and sturdy Yelena Boyar enter the woods.
"Hi Elena. Matthew beckoned, "This way." ”
"I see you. Elena Boyard hurried over.
Matthew kept looking at her with scrutiny, and Elena Boyard was wearing a well-fitting tracksuit, although somewhat athletic, but also very well-proportioned against the background of her tall figure.
After Elena Boyard came over, she sat down on the stone bench opposite Matthew and asked directly, "Are you looking for me in such a hurry, did you get a private photo of Britney Spears?"
Matthew didn't answer her, but reached out and said, "Your phone." ”
Yelena Boyar didn't understand what he meant, "Want my phone?"
"Rest assured. Matthew shrugged, "I'm not going to rob a poor journalist." ”
Elena Boyar took out her mobile phone and put it in Matthew's hand, Matthew opened the flip cover of the phone, took a look, and found that there was no need for this at all, there were very few mobile phones in this era with recording functions.
"Recorder ......" Matthew opened his hand again, "or a voice recorder." ”
"I didn't bring it!" said Elena Boyard angrily, "what am I doing with your words? You're just a young actor, or a part-time job." ”
Matthew didn't speak, but tilted his head to look at her.
Elena Boyar was a little annoyed, "Matthew Horner, don't go too far!"
"Am I excessive?" Matthew pointed to himself, "I'm going to make you strip naked if I go too far!"
"Heh......" Elena Boyar sneered, "What? you want to me? here? Don't tell me it's your terms!"
"I'm not interested in you. Matthew knew that the woman had a bad temper, "How do I know if you're going to sell me backhand." ”
Elena Boyar nodded, opened her pouch in anger, poured the contents on the stone table, and then turned all her pockets out, as she said, there was no tape recorder or recorder at all.
"Do you want me to take off my clothes?" she asked, glaring at Matthew.
Matthew shook his head, "No need. ”
Elena Boyar put away her things and said, "You think too highly of yourself, even if I sell you, what will I get?"
Matthew knew she had a point, he was just a little guy and no one cared at all from top to bottom.
Just in case, after all, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
Sorting out her handbag, Yelena Boyar glared at Matthew and held out a hand, "Where's the thing?"
"What is it?" Matthew asked subconsciously.
"A private photo of Britney Spears!" Elena Boyard raised her voice, "Malibu, we've talked about it, it's mutually beneficial. ”
Matthew shook his head directly, "I don't have a private photo of Britney Spears. ”
Elena Boyarjo stood up, her blue eyes widened, and her tall and muscular figure made her look extremely imposing.
"Are you wasting my time?" she asked, "or do you think it's fun?"
"Am I so bored?" Matthew looked up at her and pointed to the stone bench opposite, "Sit, Elena! I'll call you, of course there's news you're interested in." ”
Yelena Boyar tilted her head to look at him, "Britney Spears'." ”
"Hmm. Matthew nodded.
Elena Boyar sat back down, looking much calmer and less furious than she had just been.
"Say it. She asked, "What is it?" scandal scandal?"
Matthew, of course, doesn't just say, "A piece of news that will allow you to report for a month, or even dig deep for months, and readers will still like to hear it." ”
"Don't talk nonsense. Yelena boyar urged, "Something to say." ”
She has a bad temper, but her head is not stupid, and she has been in contact with Matthew before, so she knows that there must be conditions.
"Help me cover a person in the media you work for. Matthew followed the plan he had in mind last night and said, "A man who could be the lead actor in the Britney Spears MV." ”
Yelena Boyar snorted and said disdainfully, "Just say you, what are you doing in so many circles?"
Matthew shook his head, "It's not me, it's someone else, if the actor was me, I wouldn't be looking for you." ”
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't think of any other way, he wouldn't have called Yelena Boyar, a bad-tempered entertainment reporter.
"Speak straight!" Elena Boyar, who was not accustomed to Matthew's oriental way of speaking, reminded again, "stop going around in circles!"
"There's a guy who's my rival has the potential to be a threat to me. ”
Although director Martin Jackson is not the most important, Michael Sheehan has his support, and the odds of getting the role will definitely increase, and Matthew can't be unguarded, "You put a report about him in the newspaper. ”
After the last time they met in Malibu, he specifically inquired that the newspaper where Elena Boyard works, American News Report, has a very good reputation, and is actually a newspaper dedicated to Hollywood and celebrity gossip.
"He doesn't have a name. "Yelena Boyar did not agree," my editor-in-chief would not agree. ”
Matthew continued, "What about him having a relationship with two female celebrities? And you can follow him and dig deeper into the clues I gave you, and you will get more interesting news!"
Elena Boyar's temper gradually dissipated, and she sat down on the stone bench and thought about it.
"This is just the beginning of our collaboration. In order to impress Yelena Boyar, and for her not to regret it after agreeing, Matthew continued to talk nonsense, "Yelena, you can check my resume, I have filmed with Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder, participated in the filming of "Gladiator" directed by Ridley Scott, and the role I played was also taken out as the protagonist of the promotional poster!"
Hearing this, Yelena Boyard remembered the poster she had seen, stared at Matthew for a while, and asked, "The barbarian leader you played." ”
"Yes. Matthew nodded, "These can be found in the crew." ”
Yelena Boyard immediately realized that she underestimated this little actor.
Matthew smiled, pointed to his head, and said, "There's a lot of news here, if you're willing to work with me......" he used the words of Elena Boyar, "we're mutually beneficial." ”
Elena Boyard was moved and felt that it might be possible to impress the editor-in-chief, and said, "Yes, I can help you, but I can't guarantee that I will make it to the newspaper." ”
Matthew knew that she was just a reporter who ran away, and she couldn't have a lot of power, and if she patted her chest and said that she would definitely be able to see the newspaper, he would have to consider her sincerity.
"Here's his stuff. Matthew pulled out a piece of printer paper from his butt pocket, with a picture of Michael Sheehan on the front and captions on the reverse, "You say he's a die-hard Christina Aguilera fan and is about to become the lead actor in the Britney Spears music video." ”
He added, "Preferably within this week." ”
Taking the printer paper, Yelena Boyard glanced at it and immediately realized the hidden meaning of Matthew's words, "You mean there is a problem between Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears, who also spent time at the Mickey Mouse Club?"
Matthew has specifically checked on the Internet and newspapers before, Britney Spears has just become popular this year, and Christina Aguilera has only been famous for a year.
"It's not that it's incompatible, it's that the contradiction is sharp!" Matthew once read a little gossip about the two on the entertainment push on his mobile phone, and at this time he could only talk nonsense, "When I was on the MV set, I heard Britney Spears' assistant say that Britney often scolded Christina Aguilera in private, saying that she was a bitch and stole the limelight from her when she was in the Mickey Mouse Club. ”
He looked at Yelena Boyar, "You can dig it up, I guess these two people have some stories back then." ”
The tearing battle between two popular female singers must be very attractive.
That's what Matthew thinks, and so does Yelena Boyar.
"What you said is true?" asked Yelena Boyar.
"I swear!" Matthew raised his right hand and swore in earnest, "I can swear to God, I heard it with my own ears!"
Yelena Boyar quickly calculated in her heart, this news is really valuable, if you can dig up some fierce information, you can earn a lot of money from the manuscript fee alone, and if you run it again, it is not impossible to serve as an associate editor.
But since she came here, she has been led by Matthew's nose, and she is very unhappy.
"It's also possible that the assistant is talking nonsense. She said it deliberately.
Matthew raised an eyebrow and looked at her, was this trying to pay the bill? It didn't look like ......
"Even if they don't have sharp contradictions. He said casually angrily, "With your gossip and newspaper skills, can't you create contradictions?"
"That's right!" Elena Boyar opened her mouth and slapped her thigh hard, "Why didn't I think of it?
She stood up, hurriedly prepared to leave, and said before leaving, "I'll do my best, I remember your call!"
Elena Boyard clearly took Matthew's fooling of her seriously.
Seeing Elena Boyard hurrying away, Matthew is also ready to leave, and now that he has a plan, he will go to the Disney studio where the crew is located in the next few days to create a suitable opportunity.
By the way, there is still a helper missing.
Matthew went home all the time, and he didn't think of the right person, the actors under the angel agency don't have to think about it, they are in competition with each other, and it is a matter of minutes to sell him.
Helen Herman, the agent? This woman is very thoughtful, and who knows what she will think.
When he opened the door to the apartment, Matthew thought of the right person, Amanda was a good one, she should accompany her to the makeup audition, and she had little social experience and no city government.
Then, he contacted Amanda and made a series of preparations, just waiting for the day of the makeup audition.
