Chapter 801: Friendship Lasts Forever

When Matthew appeared on the red carpet of the North American premiere of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" with Emma Watson, it almost caused a riot of media reporters, and the biggest entertainment news in North America today is not the release of a new Harry Potter series, but Matthew's fight with a fellow Mexican drug dealer in a bar in Century City in order to rescue Emma Watson, and won again.

The first media to get the news of the bar incident was TMZ, and the first to report it was TMZ, and now TMZ has become the largest gossip media in North America.

With the intervention of Yelena Boyal, TMZ was the first to publish the relevant news, which influenced the position of a large number of media outlets, resulting in Justin Bieber becoming a fellow drug trafficker in Mexico in many media outlets.

And his insult to Emma Watson is also described as luring Matthew out.

"Emma and I are friends, very good friends. ”

In the interview area at the end of the red carpet, when asked by a reporter about Matthew's relationship with Emma Watson, Matthew said without hesitation, "We have a ten-year friendship, and no matter what danger Emma encounters, I will rush over." ”

Emma Watson went to the photo area to take a photo with the main creative staff of the crew, and Matthew told reporters all over the world about how he and Emma Watson have a long-lasting friendship.

After a brief interview, Matthew entered the Hollywood Theater and, under the guidance of the staff, walked towards the VIP lounge.

Today, while accompanying Emma Watson to do her hair, he got a lot of developments about last night's bar incident.

Los Angeles police issued an arrest warrant for Justin Bieber this morning, and the FBI's Los Angeles branch also issued a formal order to examine whether Justin Bieber is behind it with Mexican drug dealers or terrorists.

These are not the key things, the most important thing is the bag of cocaine that was found in Justin Bieber's bag.

In any country with political and social stability, it is a felony to be involved with drugs, and when Robert Downey Jr. was convicted of drug possession, the amount of drugs was less than one-tenth that of Justin Bieber.

One can imagine how much trouble Justin Bieber is going to face.

Moreover, Matthew can put pressure on the Los Angeles Police and the FBI.

In addition, Justin Bieber's company also tentatively contacted him through Helen Herman, praising Justin Bieber as a black singer named Arthur the Kid.

If nothing else, such a person simply can't look enough in front of Matthew.

Justin Bieber's star journey came to an abrupt end last night, and prison time awaited him.

Matthew came to the door of the VIP lounge and was just about to go inside, when someone from behind suddenly greeted him.

"Hello, Mr. Horner. ”

It was a very unfamiliar voice, but it was very polite, "Can I delay you for a few minutes?"

Stopping, Matthew looked back and saw that the person who greeted him was unknown, the face was very unfamiliar, and it was a young Chinese male.

"You're ......" Matthew was sure he hadn't seen before.

The man's black hair was neatly combed back and he had a polite smile on his face all the time, and he introduced himself, "My name is Jon Zhu, and I'm a director. ”

Matthew immediately understood who it was, nodded, and said politely, "Hello." ”

Jon Zhu saw Matthew's easy-going attitude, and hurriedly rehashed the old words, "Mr. Horner, is it okay to delay you for a few minutes to talk?"

It's a place where people come and go, not where they talk.

Matthew thought for a moment, pointed to a deserted spot in the theater hall, and said, "Let's go over there." ”

He walked over first, followed by Jon Chuo.

"Tell me something. Matthew doesn't talk nonsense, "My female companion will be there in a moment, and it won't be too long." ”

Jon Zhu knew that time was limited, so he hurriedly said, "Originally, Paramount Pictures and Hasbro intended to use me as the director of the sequel to "Special Forces", just yesterday, things changed, and Paramount Pictures informed me that the sequel to "Special Forces" will follow the main creative lineup of the first part, I specifically inquired, and it is said that the reason is ......"

He was a little anxious, "Mr. Horner, you are against me being the director." ”

Matthew didn't mince words, "That's right. I pitched my opinion to Paramount Pictures and Hasbro. For the sake of black hair and black eyes, he specifically explained two sentences, "On this project, I have worked not only with Paramount Pictures and Hasbro, but also with director Stephen Sommus. Director Stephen Sommers is my friend and collaborator, and it was because of his invitation that I joined the series "Special Forces". ”

Seeing that Jon Zhu was about to speak again, Matthew raised his hand to stop him and said, "Director Stephen Sommers has worked with me tacitly and has promoted me many times, and he continues to serve as a director, which is the premise for me to star in the sequel." ”

"Mr. Horner, I've heard of your relationship with Director Sommers. Jon Zhu didn't give up, after all, directing a first-line commercial production is too rare for a director like him who is just starting out, "I have a lot of ideas for a sequel to "Special Forces", and we can sit down and talk about it in detail. ”

Matthew shook his head slowly but firmly, "There's no need for this. ”

There are countless new directors in Hollywood who have ideas, but there are very few who can turn their ideas into great films.

Maybe Jon Zhu is really very capable, but there is no film in the past to prove that he doesn't have to take such a risk in the face of a sound choice.

Then again, with Jon Zhu enabled, it was Hasbro and Paramount Pictures who saved on the film, and he was not the beneficiary.

"So be it. Matthew nodded to Jon Chu, "Good luck." ”

He turned to leave, but Jon Chu said, "Mr. Horner, I've already written an outline of the script for the 'Special Forces' sequel, could you please take a look?"

As he spoke, he took out a stack of printer paper from the briefcase he was carrying with him and handed it over.

Out of politeness, Matthew took it and said seemingly seriously, "I'll take a look at it later." ”

Jon Zhu was about to say something, but Emma Watson, who was wearing a goose yellow evening dress, walked over at this time and asked curiously, "Matthew, why are you here." ”

Matthew gestured to Jon Zhu, "I met a director and had a few conversations. ”

Emma Watson looked at Jon Chu, nodded politely, took Matthew's arm, and said, "Let's go inside." ”

"Goodbye. Matthew smiled at Jon Chu and followed Emma Watson into the VIP lounge.

The two of them had dealt with the person who came forward to greet them, and Emma Watson saw the stack of printer paper in Matthew's hand and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Matthew didn't hide it either, and said directly, "The outline of the script written by the director just now." ”

He looked back, saw Brown Williams, waved at him, and waited for Brown Williams to come over and hand him Jon Chu's script outline.

"Tomorrow it will be handed over to Bella Anderson. He said casually, "Put it in the studio's script library." ”

Brown Williams nodded slightly, understanding what Matthew meant, this is the kind of script that is just out of the unwritten rules of etiquette in the industry, waiting to fall into the ashes in the script library.

Emma Watson also understood this, and when Brown Williams left, she asked, "You didn't even see it?"

Matthew shook his head, "There's no need to look at it. ”

He has made it clear to Stephen Sommers that he will stand on the same side with him, and naturally he will not regret it.

Jon Chu's script outline has nothing to do with him.

Besides, he is not the kind of person who has just entered the industry, how can he judge a director based on a script alone?

The two chatted for a few words, and David Heyman, who became the producer of the "Harry Potter" series, came over, and Matthew and he are also old acquaintances, and they have collaborated on many films.

"Was it okay last night?" asked David with concern.

"It's fine. Matthew laughed and said, "A little trouble." ”

David thought for a moment, "The crew's publicity is going to make a fuss about this. ”

Matthew nodded, "If Emma agrees, I don't have a problem." ”

Emma Watson curled the corners of her mouth, "David, let's talk to my agent first." ”

"Yes. David replied.

The time was almost up, and the people in the VIP lounge entered the screening room one after another, and Matthew was still with Emma Watson, whose role today was Emma Watson's male companion.

Before entering the screening room, Matthew remembered something and said regretfully, "It's a pity that you didn't choose the university in Los Angeles." ”

Emma Watson took him by the arm and said as she walked, "Brown University isn't bad either." ”

Matthew was a little strange and asked, "I read the news that Harvard University, New York University, and Columbia University have all sent you offers for admission, why didn't you choose these and choose Brown University, which is weaker in the Ivy League?"

Hearing this question, Emma Watson did not answer immediately, but looked left and right, and saw that there was no one, so she leaned into Matthew's ear, and her voice was extremely low, "If there were invitations from Harvard University, New York University, and Columbia University, would I still choose Brown University?"

Matthew suddenly realized, it turned out to be all propaganda and hype, could it be that Emma Watson is selling some of her personality on the top of the top students?

Of course, he won't ask this kind of question again, it doesn't matter to him whether he sells his personality or not, anyway, it can't change the fact that he has soaked Hermione Granger.

Entering the screening room, Emma Watson's seat was in the first row, Matthew separated from her, found his seat, sat down and waited quietly to watch "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".

He had roughly watched the series, but the plot was basically forgotten, and he only remembered that the main line was the confrontation between Harry Potter and Voldemort.

Then there's the Gryffindor Golden Triangle, in fact, the Golden Triangle only remembers Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, and even now, he doesn't know the name of another character.
