Early in the morning, Matthew finished his breakfast and left the hotel, where he found Emma Watson in the waiting crowd.

"Morning, Emma?" he said hello.

"Morning, Matthew. Emma Watson smiled and beckoned to him and asked, "Why didn't you see you going to breakfast?"

Matthew smiled, "I went for a morning run, and when I went to the restaurant, there was basically no one. ”

Emma Watson looked left and right, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, and said, "I don't know anyone but you." ”

"Where's your agent?" asked Matthew.

"I went to the Palais des Nations in advance to communicate and coordinate. Emma Watson raised a hand and shook it in front of Matthew, "Did you see, my nervous hands were shaking, I had never spoken in front of more than a thousand people." ”

She asked, "I found your speech in South Africa from the Internet last night, and you did a great job, do you have a knack?"

"Absolutely. Matthew leaned over to her and whispered, "When you get on stage, you'll be on the set to make a movie." ”

Emma Watson asked confusedly, "What do you mean...... Performance?"

Matthew lowered his voice and said, "Hermione Granger just needs to treat those people like Muggles. ”

Emma Watson nodded slightly, "I see." She suddenly reminded Matthew, "I saw a companion. ”

Matthew followed Emma Watson's line of sight and just saw Natalie Portman coming this way, and the Harvard top student also saw him, but without any embarrassment, as if he was seeing an old friend.

"Matthew!" the surprise on Natalie Portman's face was very real, "I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

"yes, Nat. Matthew smiled and spread his arms, "I didn't expect to meet friends here." ”

Natalie Portman saw that Matthew treated her no differently than before, and also opened her arms and hugged him gently.

The two exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and Matthew introduced Natalie Portman and Emma Watson to each other, "Nat, this is Emma Watson. Emma, this is Natalie Portman. ”

The two women had just politely greeted each other when a bus drove up, and the staff of the conference organizers beckoned the waiting people to board, and Matthew let Emma Watson and Natalie Portman into the bus before following.

When he got on the bus, he found Emma Watson and Natalie Portman each occupying a row of seats.

"Matthew, this way. Natalie Portman took the initiative to beckon.

Emma Watson sat in the front row of Natalie Portman, heard Natalie Portman's words, hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled at Matthew, and winked at him deliberately.

Matthew smiled slightly, walked straight to the back row of Emma Watson and sat next to Natalie Portman.

Later, some participants got on the bus one after another.

As the bus started and headed towards the Palais des Nations, Natalie Portman withdrew her gaze from the window and asked Matthew, "I remember you were a goodwill ambassador for UNHCR?"

"yes. Matthew nodded, "I came here this time because of an invitation from UNHCR." ”

Natalie Portman pinned a strand of her hair behind her ear and asked, "Are you going to give a speech on stage?" ”

Matthew smiled, "On the refugee issue." He then asked, "What about you, Nat?"

"My main topic of speech is environmental protection and human rights. Natalie Portman said with a smile.

Seeing the smile on her face, and the vague shadow of "This Killer is Not Too Cold", Matthew suddenly thought of a sentence he had seen on the Internet: People on the other side of the Pacific who like Natalie Portman are actually poisoned by Matilda.

Now that I think about it, it seems to make a lot of sense.

"What do you want?" Natalie Portman saw Matthew staring at herself.

"I suddenly thought of Matilda from Killer Leon. Matthew has always been very honest in front of Natalie Portman, "Your performance at that time was astounding. ”

"I don't like that character!"

This praise was obviously wrong, and Natalie Portman's eyebrows furrowed into a figure of eight, and she said directly, "So, before the age of 20, I rejected all the roles with the color of 'Lori'." My parents have also been trying to protect me when choosing a role, hoping that I will not be disturbed by some 'weird uncle'. I really don't want to be someone else's sexual fantasy object. ”

"I'm sorry. Matthew said sincerely.

Natalie Portman shook her head and smiled, "It's okay. ”

She looked very generous, not caring at all about what Matthew had just said, and continued, "Actually, I like to be with you?"

Matthew was slightly surprised, "Huh?"

But the latter words let him know that he wanted to be crooked, and Natalie Portman added, "I only like to be around elites, and it makes me feel like I'm easy to communicate with." ”

"What kind of elite am I?" Matthew laughed at himself, "Is there such an elite as me?"

"You are!" Natalie Portman said seriously, "Matthew, you have your own world, you feel that you are not good, worthless, etc., it is because you have a long-term vision, and your benchmark is not understood by outsiders." ”

When he said this, Matthew was a little fluttering in an instant, and it was really terrible for a smart woman to say flattering words.

But he was a sober-minded person after all, and thought of some of the things Helen Herman had reminded him of: Natalie Portman was calm with him, but also had a hot fight with Brad Pitt, and asked Pitt to run her as one of the producers of "Cloud Atlas".

There are some things that he doesn't think too much, but he can't ignore them, Natalie Portman is good at dancing with long sleeves, as if she hasn't done anything, and wants to work closely with Brad Pitt and continue to be good friends with him......

This is just speculation, and Matthew can't find exact evidence, because the human heart is the most difficult to see.

Of course, he has no disdain for Natalie Portman, this is the rule of survival in Hollywood, it is much more difficult for an actress to climb up in Hollywood than a male actor, and most actresses will probably make similar choices in the face of Natalie Portman's situation, but it is difficult to be as free as her.

Then again, he and Natalie Portman are both good friends, and neither is better than the other.

His thoughts on this trip to Geneva were many times darker than those of Natalie Portman.

Since he had bad intentions, Matthew of course wanted to get along with Natalie Portman, and deliberately said, "Nat, do you want to know my impression of you?"

"I don't want to. Natalie Portman rolled her eyes like an old friend and said, "Not Matilda yet." ”

Matthew raised a hand and said, "I declare that I have not been poisoned by Matilda. ”

Natalie Portman frowned again, "Poisoned?"

As soon as she frowned, her two eyebrows would turn into inverted figures, which looked particularly ugly.

Matthew didn't explain, and continued his topic, "I think you're a very capable person, and you must have saved the galaxy on your own in your last life." ”

"You're exaggerating. "To be complimented like this by such a wonderful man, Natalie Portman is actually quite happy in her heart.

"Nat, you're a real winner in life. Matthew is completely relaxed, like chatting with a good friend like Helen Herman or Amanda, "A person, you have to have a good face, you have to have awards...... You've got the Golden Globes, you've got to have a prestigious university, you've got to be literate, you've got to be charitable, you're not kitsch like me – you're definitely a winner in life. ”

"Thank you, Matthew. Natalie Portman laughs, "No one has ever complimented me so much." ”

She added, "I actually know that the American audience doesn't really like me. ”

"Whatever those people do. Matthew waved his hand casually, "That's because you're better than most people." ”

With Jodie Foster as the standard of excellence, Natalie Portman is certainly not excellent, and with Angelina Jolie as the standard of excellence, Natalie Portman is very good.

In fact, Helen Herman told him before that Natalie Portman's type of actor is not destined to be a dish for mass fans, in her words, Natalie Portman's team has created an extreme public image for her, making her look unreal at all.

Mass movie fans like more real stars, and this reality can be a kind of set performance personality, just like Jessica Alba, who likes to pretend to be stupid, is far more popular than Natalie Portman among mass movie fans.

"That's right, Matthew. Natalie Portman seems to be sincere, "There's one thing I've always felt sorry for you, ...... Cloud Atlas"

Matthew interrupted her with a raised hand and said, "It's okay, Nat. He seemed a little casual, not very concerned, "It's the Wachowski siblings who really make the decisions, not you." ”

Natalie Portman nodded slightly, and Matthew didn't wait for her to speak, and added, "I'm also sorry to lose the Cloud Atlas project, it's amazing......!

Matthew made an exaggerated gesture of a very tall one, "Three feet high, or two!"

Natalie Portman didn't speak, but she could guess that this was similar to the real situation, how could a star like Matthew be missing projects and roles?

"Originally, I still wanted to get the project "Cloud Atlas", and the work schedule in the next few years will be readjusted. Matthew pretended to be relaxed and said, "Actually, it's okay now, don't be so troublesome." ”

He both expressed regret for the loss of "Cloud Atlas" and showed that it was not even a small blow to him.

"How many years are you on your schedule?" asked Natalie Portman.

"Hmm. Matthew nodded lightly and said casually, "Andrew Stanton on Disney's side is going to adapt "Princess Mars" into a movie, and invited me to be the actor and producer, with a production budget of $250 million. ”

The bus stopped at this time, Matthew looked out the window and said, "The Palace of Nations has arrived, let's get off." ”

Natalie Portman got out of the car after Matthew, remembering the big project that Matthew had just said, that number was so amazing that it was hard not to remember.

However, she got out of the car and walked into the central conference hall with Matthew and Emma Watson, just as she had been in the car.
