Chapter 499: Social Responsibility (Subscription Requested)

Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

At the Long Beach pier, media reporters gathered, and Warner TV even dispatched a TV broadcast van.

Not far in front of the media cameras, a huge container ship was parked on top of the berth, and the gantry crane lifted one container after another and loaded it onto the freighter.

Elena Boyar went out in person today, standing in front of her two cameramen, pointing to a standard container that had been lifted, and said, "Pay attention to the markings on the container. ”

On the red container, the blue UNHCR logo and the white Matthew Foundation's M&H mark are very eye-catching.

"How many containers are loaded?" muttered the older reporter as he pressed the shutter of his camera.

The young reporter kept carrying the camera, "I'm counting, it seems that there are forty-five containers on board." He took the moment to point to the road leading to the dock in the storage area and said, "The convoy is still moving this way." ”

The older reporter sighed, "Matthew Horner is really willing to pay for it." ”

Yelena Boyar glanced at her two subordinates, but didn't say much, because she knew very well that a high investment could be exchanged for a higher return.

Besides, it is estimated that Matthew will not spend his own money.

It seems that his two foundations have raised a lot of money.

For some reason, Elena Boyard suddenly thought of the woman with short blond hair, who was about the same age as Matthew, but was extremely shrewd and good at business operations.

She is a person in the media industry herself, and has paid attention to the dynamics of Matthew's two charitable foundations, not the most famous of Hollywood stars, but also in the second echelon, which makes people think of it when they see it.

If I'm not mistaken, the woman should have done it on purpose.

Truck after truck arrived, each container bearing the marks of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and Matthew's foundation.

Yelena Boyar stood here and could see very clearly, the officials from the United Nations were quite excited, and a few of them were still saying something to Matthew, but it was too far away for her to hear clearly.

However, the discussion of the peers around him is very clear.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that in addition to Hollywood stars standing on the podium and shouting slogans, there are people who really do practical things. ”

"Compared to those celebrities who only shout slogans but don't do things, Matthew is much stronger. ”

"Matthew is responsible, responsible, this is a man!"

"It's important for celebrities to have a sense of social responsibility. ”

Even the young reporter next to Yelena Boyar said, "I always feel that celebrities have a very big social influence, so doing something meaningful to society can really drive many people to pay attention to social events." ”

Elena Boyar knows Matthew better and knows that his purpose is not simple, but she also knows that Matthew will definitely be able to help many people this time, even if there are people who want to hack him, they will shut up in this matter.

Now American society is turning in a direction that she can't understand, and Matthew's aid is sent to the war-torn black areas of Africa.

"Matthew, I've already contacted the peacekeepers. ”

In a vacant lot in the docklands, Gutierrez, the top commissioner of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), told Matthew, "They will send someone to escort the supplies to their destination, you can rest assured." ”

Matthew shook the Portuguese man's hand and said, "Thank you." ”

"No, no......" Gutierrez quickly shook his head, "I am the one who should say thank you, you will help a lot of refugees." ”

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Gutierrez quickly left the port of Long Beach, as the top head of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, he was busy with affairs, and it was not easy to find time to come over.

Amanda, who had short blond hair, walked over, took off her sunglasses and looked at the freighter, and said to Matthew, "The film team you said to Helen will leave in a week, and they will meet the convoy of supplies in Africa, and then go deep into the refugee camp to interview the Africans receiving the supplies on the spot. ”

Matthew nodded, "You remember to pay attention." ”

Amanda stood next to Matthew and said, "Don't worry, they're all war correspondents who travel a lot in Africa. Speaking of this, she suddenly pointed to the media reporter who was stopped outside by the security personnel, "Many people want to interview you." ”

"It's better for you to go, it's not appropriate for me to go. Matthew shook his head slightly, "Where is there any boasting, you have to brag for me to be good enough." ”

Amanda had long been accustomed to Matthew's cheekiness and said, "I will make your good name spread all over the world." ”

The two had communicated enough when they came over this morning, and this interview with Matthew was really not suitable for him to come forward directly.

It wasn't until all the containers were delivered that Amanda asked the security guards to let the reporters into the pre-designated interview area, and then talked about Matthew in front of the reporters' cameras and microphones.

"We know that there is a limit to what any one person or organization can do, but Matthew told me that we need to do our best to help those who need it urgently. ”

Amanda, the former front desk, has already become an old fox after all these years of study and work, "Matthew has gone deep into refugee camps in Africa and experienced the lives of refugees, so there are these two charitable foundations and a series of our charity activities. ”

She straightened her face and announced, "Matthew also asked me to announce on my behalf that one-third of his remuneration for each film, including the upcoming "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", will be donated to a charitable foundation to help those in need. ”

Among the reporters, there are many people with ideals and responsibilities, and when they heard the decision announced by Amanda, they unconsciously applauded.

Reporters from TMZ and Warner also applauded, and other reporters were also brought in, and the scene burst into warm applause.

Amanda didn't intend to say anything more, turned around and walked towards the parking lot, looking back at the still excited reporters and shaking her head.

This kind of charitable donation, in order to mix up a good name, is actually ......

She actually knows very well that Matthew has made such a decision with mature considerations, and the remuneration of Hollywood stars is all pre-tax remuneration, and charitable donations are tax-deductible......

Even if Matthew doesn't donate to his charitable foundation, most of the money has to be handed over to the tax office.

But for the vast majority of people, it's a real act of kindness.

After getting into Matthew's Mercedes-Benz commercial car, Amanda finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I feel like I can win the Golden Globe Award for my acting skills." ”

Matthew let the driver drive first, and then teased, "Why don't you be the heroine in my next film?"

Amanda didn't answer, but asked, "Is your next film?"

Matthew wasn't embarrassed either, "Not for the time being." He put away his joke and said seriously, "Don't keep all my salary donations." ”

"Don't worry. Amanda leaned back in her chair and said lazily, "I'll use part of your donation for charity and make a pretty good account of you." ”

Matthew looked out the window, "Pulling you in, I always feel a little ...... Well, a bit of an indescribable feeling. ”

"Guilty?" Amanda asked tentatively, then shook her head, "How can you feel guilty? ”

Matthew thought seriously for a moment and said, "Probably." He looked at Amanda, a few years have passed, Amanda is as young and beautiful as she was at the beginning, "I always think that you are still the front desk of the angel agency that has no scheming and no troubles." ”

Amanda deliberately said, "That's how to coax, I was coaxed by your kind words and a good face, and I was dizzy." ”

Matthew wasn't ashamed at all, "It at least shows that I'm really good-looking." ”

Amanda laughed, her laughter was crisp and hearty, and she simply pointed at Matthew and said, "I already knew that your face is thicker than before." ”

"Because I'm more mature. Matthew pinched his face, old-fashioned, "One of the signs of maturity is that your skin is getting thicker and thicker." ”

Hearing this, Amanda unconsciously touched her face and emphasized, "I'm mature, but my skin hasn't thickened." ”

Matthew nodded and laughed, "yes, you're the exception, Amanda who is different." ”

Amanda shifted to make her seat more comfortable, then said, "Forget it, I'll admit it." Isn't this society like this? How can you survive if you don't have thick skin?"

Instead, she asked, "Do you want to mix up in Hollywood and have a thicker skin?" ”

Matthew gestured to his face, "It's not enough to be thick-skinned. ”

Amanda asked curiously, "What more?" she smiled, "in terms of your experience." ”

Matthew pondered for a while, and didn't hide it in front of an old friend like Amanda, and said slowly, "Good luck with a thick face and a bold heart...... Well, that's about it. ”

"Good luck?" Amanda wondered.

"Well, that's the most important thing. Matthew nodded seriously, "For example, when I met you, you helped me get the male lead of Britney's MV; ”

Some projects, he knows that it is useless to be a movie that has been widely circulated, because a newcomer with no resources will not be able to win the leading actor or other outstanding roles.

He can have today's situation, his own efforts, explosive luck, and advantages over others' foresight and other conditions have played a big role.

Amanda tilted her head to look at Matthew and said strangely, "It turns out that you were lucky to meet me." ”

"Isn't it?" said Matthew, "if you hadn't helped me, I would have been able to get out of the Angel Company's extras and into Helen's vision?"

Amanda slapped her palm, "If that's the case, you have to thank me so much." ”
