Chapter 56: Good Friends
(Don't forget to keep voting when you have a great weekend and have fun...... )
On an ordinary weekday morning, a large number of entertainment reporters gathered on Malibu's Paradise Cove Beach, who had previously received the news that the parties were about to make a face-to-face clarification about the recent uproar about Matthew Horner's relationship with Britney Spears.
In fact, there is no need for the parties to clarify, few of these entertainment reporters who came over really thought that Matthew Horner, a hillbilly, was dating Britney Spears, but none of them would write the truth in the media, because no one paid attention to it.
"What they clarified......"
As she lined up to enter the restaurant, Elena Boyard heard two reporters behind her comment, "Our hype is worthless." ”
Another reporter said, "This is the city of angels, the seat of Hollywood, full of celebrities, and you still don't have to worry about finding gossip and scandals? Besides, we wouldn't have made it without us? Few celebrities will take the time to fight a lawsuit with a little person like us, and if they send a lawyer's letter, we will apologize in the newspaper, and we will apologize without losing money, and we will not lose a piece of meat, what are you afraid of!"
Yelena Boyar glanced back at the reporter, a fellow who knew the essence of entertainment gossip.
Entering the restaurant, under the guidance of the staff, she, like other reporters, walked to the rows of chairs, and because she came early, she found a place to sit in the front, and then began to debug the equipment she carried to prepare for the next interview.
Yelena Boyar is very curious about Matthew Horner, one of the protagonists of the incident, who she has not only met but also dealt with several times, and is a very interesting guy.
Although this scandal was carefully fabricated by her wanting to earn eyeballs and manuscript fees, there must also be a suitable event for the fabrication, if there is no Matthew Horner holding Britney, Britney still believes his photos with an abnormal face, and the manuscript sent is just a joke.
"This guy has a lot of skills. "Yelena Boyard is a reporter who specializes in entertainment, and she has long heard that Britney's star has a big shelf, like a hedgehog," and she can be so familiar with Britney. ”
In Matthew's makeshift dressing room in the restaurant, Helen Herman is making her final words.
"I'll stand behind you. She said to Matthew, "If you have a difficult question or don't know how to answer, don't open your mouth yet, and I'll give you advice." ”
Matthew nodded, "Well, that's up to you." ”
He had no experience in dealing with media reporters at all.
Helen Herman pulled up a chair, sat down next to Matthew, and said, "This is what PR should do." ”
Matthew spread his hands and said helplessly, "It's not like I don't have public relations." ”
With his current status and net worth, it would be crazy to hire a PR manager.
"You behave. Helen Herman didn't bother with this little thing, but said, "Don't mess it up. You don't know how long you'll have to wait for your next press conference!"
Matthew knew very well that this news would be Helen Herman's best to get it, that is, to take advantage of Britney's mentality that wants to clear up the scandal, and continue to increase his exposure and the fame that Britney has gained through it.
Speaking of fame, Matthew thought of another thing and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to use fame to get me a new job?"
"Hmm. Helen Herman nodded, but didn't go any further.
Matthew had no choice but to ask, "How's it going?"
"I got an audition. Helen Herman was squeezing toothpaste, and if Matthew wasn't squeezing, she wouldn't say, "It's going to take a while." ”
"Can I know what the job is?" said Matthew, continuing to squeeze.
Helen Herman said appropriately, "A GI in World War II, wait until you finish filming this MV, don't be distracted!"
She said so, Matthew simply stopped asking, but in his head he was thinking, what kind of drama about World War II was there in this era?
At this time, a staff member came to inform that Matthew and Helen Herman came out of the makeshift dressing room, entered the dining room, and walked into the main hall together after Britney's side also arrived.
There were a lot of reporters coming, and Matthew was a little nervous when he sat down.
"Relax. Helen Herman stood behind and whispered to him, "Those are all rumor-mongers, what are they afraid of doing?"
Matthew thought about it, and it was indeed the case.
He relaxed a lot, and Britney gave her a smile when she looked at her.
This was not a formal press conference, or a simple scandal clarification press conference, and the host said a few words, first handing the microphone to Matthew.
After all, he is the hero of the event.
Matthew had already memorized the script, and it was as natural as saying the lines at this time, "During the MV shooting, Britney was accidentally injured, and in order to seek medical attention in time, I carried her into the car...... Britney and I are working partners who work together, but we don't have a relationship, let alone a couple......"
The content of the manuscript is to clarify this scandal that does not exist at all.
The flashing lights on the opposite side kept coming on, and the whole process didn't stop, and Matthew knew that he should maintain a certain level of popularity in a short period of time.
It's a pity that this is not the era of social networks in the future, and actors have to rely on their works to speak after all.
Matthew finished reciting the script, and the microphone was handed back to Britney.
"I'm still single and haven't been in any relationship with anyone. ”
Probably from the hands of professional public relations, Britney's lines are relatively low-key, "The rumors some time ago were all misunderstandings...... I would also like to thank the fans and media for their concern. ”
Then there was a short on-site questioning session, Britney's agency and record company had already said hello in advance, plus the two victims clarified in person, this kind of fake scandal basically will no longer have room to survive, most of the reporters asked about the MV situation, and no longer mentioned the so-called scandal gossip.
But there are also people who don't say it, and Yelena Boyar is such a person, after all, according to the organizer's procedure, you can't get strong news.
The microphone finally reached her hand, and she stood up and asked, "Britney, are you familiar with Matthew Horner?"
Matthew had already seen the tall Elena Boyar, and when he saw her stand up, his face was a little unnatural, and he always felt that nothing good was good.
"Familiar. ”
There's no need to deny it, Britney nodded, "We're friends. ”
The agent behind her had an urge to hit her head, what was this simple-minded girl thinking?
According to the normal order, each reporter can only ask one question, but Yelena Boyard did not have this self-awareness, anyway, no one came to stop her, and she then asked, "You are friends now, will you be dating in the future?"
Britney's agent hastened to warn, "Don't answer. ”
People like Britney, for the most part, do whatever comes to mind and say whatever comes to mind.
She didn't seem to hear the agent's reminder, first glanced at Matthew, and then said, "Who can say this kind of thing." ”
Britney's consideration is very simple, now she and Matthew really don't mean that, but from the very beginning of knowing Matthew, to chatting with her in the hospital one after another to relieve boredom, it has left a very good impression on her, the two are friends She doesn't think it's an exaggeration at all, and she doesn't know how the relationship will develop in the future.
So, she gave such an answer.
"Mr. Matthew Horner. Elena Boyard had already noticed that a staff member was walking towards her, looked at Matthew and quickly asked, "Will you be dating Britney in the future?"
When Britney was asked by a reporter earlier, Helen Herman was ready for a similar question she might ask Matthew, and as soon as Elena Boyard asked the question, she whispered behind Matthew, "Say you're good friends." ”
Matthew showed a simple mind in front of Britney's agent, but he was not really simple-minded, he knew that he had no experience in this area, far less than a professional agent, and said exactly according to Helen Herman's words, "I am good friends with Britney. ”
As he spoke, he also looked at Britney, who seemed to agree with Matthew's statement and gave him a sweet smile.
This moment was immediately captured by the reporter's camera.
Britney didn't care at all, what Matthew said was exactly what she thought, she thought that she and Matthew were rare and very speculative good friends.
The staff rushed to Yelena Boyar's side at this time, and Elena Boyar saw a situation that was enough to sell, did not continue to ask questions, and handed the microphone back.
Matthew suddenly realized that he had a wrong idea some time ago, that Yelena Boyard was not a journalist with a conscience and professional ethics at all, and that she was even more shameless and cheeky than all the entertainment reporters present.
Just as he was thinking this, he noticed that Yelena Boyard was looking over and squeezed her eyes at him covertly, as if to greet him in this way.
Matthew ignored her, and the press conference ended, and he left the hall with Helen Herman, back to the makeshift dressing room to prepare for the next shoot.
"That female journalist knows you?" Helen Herman saw Yelena Boyar squeeze her eyes and remembered the so-called journalist friend that Matthew had mentioned, "She's the friend you said was an entertainment reporter." ”
"This ......," Matthew scratched his head, not knowing what to say, "and it's not a good friend." ”
Helen Herman stared at him and asked, "Did you agree on that?"
Such a question, coupled with Britney's inappropriate answer, undoubtedly gave the reporter a hyped news point, and Britney's side certainly didn't want that to happen, but it was beneficial to Matthew.
"No!" Matthew quickly denied, "No! I didn't even know she would come over today." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Helen Herman said solemnly, sensing that the situation was different, "Remind you, Matthew Horner! I'm your agent, and we have to trust each other!"
