Chapter 52
(Daughter has diarrhea in the past few days, a dozen times a day, and she is exhausted...as usual, ask for a recommendation ticket! Guys, give me more.)
"There is no language class in the afternoon." Rachel McAdams asked Matthew as they walked out of the acting class together, "Where are you going? Hollywood Boulevard?"
Matthew thought for a moment, then said, "I want to buy a cell phone." He turned to Rachel McAdams, "Do you know any place that sells cell phones around here?"
That second-hand phone had serious sound leakage, and it was time to replace it.
"There's a big mall on the east side of Valley Avenue." Rachel McAdams has been there. "There are counters selling mobile phones. Nokia and Motorola have them. Would you like me to accompany you to visit?"
Matthew nodded, "Okay, just help me with the staff, I don't know much about these things."
When he used a mobile phone, he had seen smartphones everywhere, and he really didn't know much about these old-fashioned mobile phones.
"I'm going to pick up the car." Rachel McAdams was about to go to the parking lot. "I'll be waiting for you at the old school gate."
Rachel McAdams went to the parking lot, and Matthew walked to the school gate alone, thinking about his gossip with Britney Spears on today's "US News" and considering whether he should go to the hospital How about a visit to Britney Spears?
Do you think there will be many media reporters at the entrance of the hospital?
His second-hand cell phone rang at this moment, and it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, this is Matthew Horner," he said politely.
"It's me, Helen." Helen Herman's voice came from the receiver. "Are you still at school?"
Matthew changed his hand to hold the mobile phone, and answered the question, "Did you change your mobile phone number?"
"This is my personal cell phone number." Helen Herman explained briefly, "I'm not in Los Angeles right now, and Britney's agent is looking for me. The previous cell phone number is not used these days, so I need to make this call."
Matthew thought about it for a while, and then guessed Helen Herman's intention. She obviously wanted to let this false scandal brew for a while.
Just when Matthew was thinking about going forward, Helen Herman said on the phone again, "Also, I went to the hospital to visit Britney today, aren't you very familiar with her? Be a person with a beginning and an end."
"Ah..." Matthew had such an idea before, but Helen Herman also thought of this, "I'll go in the afternoon, and now I'll go buy a mobile phone."
Helen Herman finally warned, "If Britney talks to you, remember! Don't do anything! Don't make any promises! I'll talk about everything when I go back! I need your exposure now! You have With a certain reputation, the next thing I want to talk about will be smoother!"
Matthew immediately asked, "Is it a new job?"
"Yes." Helen Herman didn't deny it, "I'm talking about a role in a mini-series for you, the kind with a lot of lines and characters."
"Good! Good! Good!" Matthew came to the school gate and nodded hastily, "I will definitely cooperate with you!"
A character who can make Helen Herman speak so earnestly must have more weight than the barbarian leader in "Gladiator".
Hanging up the phone, Matthew walked out of the school gate, and suddenly a dazzling white light lit up, causing him to cover his eyes unconsciously. Before he understood what was going on, more than a dozen reporters gathered around, and the microphone and the small tape recorder were handed over directly. before.
"Mr. Matthew Horner, are you really dating Britney Spears?"
Miscellaneous questions also flew over at the same time.
"When did you start dating?"
"Have you slept with Britney?"
"Was Britney a virgin when you were with you?"
Matthew didn't say anything, the reporters and paparazzi had already sexed them.
"Are you going to get married?"
"Do you have any other purpose in pursuing Britney?"
for a while,
Matthew was a little dazed by the reporter's question. He had never faced a media reporter before, and had no experience in dealing with it at all.
Fortunately, he kept Helen Herman's advice in mind. No matter what the reporter paparazzi asked, he always kept his mouth shut, never spitting out a word, and just walked forward step by step.
He had seen Rachel McAdams' car parked not far ahead,
The paparazzi and the reporter refused to let him go. The flashing light of the camera never disappeared, and all kinds of questions kept ringing. There was even a reporter who asked Britney absurdly if she went to the doctor because she was pregnant...
Compared with them, Matthew felt that the Jelena Boyar who had been in contact with him was simply a good reporter with conscience and professional ethics.
It took a lot of effort to get close to Rachel McAdams' car, then found a gap, winked at Rachel McAdams, who had been paying attention to this side, and waited for Rachel McAdams to open the assistant. The driver's car door suddenly dodged away from several reporters in front of him, rushed into the car with lightning speed, and closed the door forcefully. Rachel McAdams had already started the car, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.
As the car went away, the reporters gradually dispersed. There were two reporters who did not leave. They were standing and discussing with the tags of the same newspaper.
The one with the small tape recorder asked the person with the camera, "Did the person in the car film it?"
"It's filmed!" The person holding the camera said with certainty, "The driver's seat is a woman, and a blond beauty!"
"We have something to write! Maybe it will make the headlines!" The person with the small tape recorder laughed happily and muttered, "Britney's new boyfriend is suspected of dating other women while she was injured and hospitalized... "
The man with the camera laughed, too, which readers of the best news will love.
They left immediately, Rachel McAdams' car drifted away, and when the car was far away from the gate of the Los Angeles Performing Arts School, Matthew made an exaggerated sign of a cross.
"What are you praying for?" Rachel McAdams asked curiously.
"The god of luck favors..." Matthew said exaggeratedly, "I can get on the bus alive."
He once watched the madness of paparazzi on the Internet. At that time, there was a very crazy paparazzi and studio on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, but watching it and facing it directly are completely different feelings.
He originally thought that people like himself or Elena Boyar would be shameless. Compared with the questions of the paparazzi, they are definitely moral models.
"Is it such an exaggeration?" Rachel McAdams stopped the car at the red light ahead and asked, "A lot of people are looking forward to this scene."
Matthew didn't answer, but instead asked, "Why didn't you call to remind me?"
Rachel McAdams started the car, waited for the car to pass the intersection, and said, "I called you, but you were on the phone."
"Yes!" Matthew patted his forehead, "I've been calling my agent."
The car quickly arrived at the mall that Rachel McAdams said. After parking the car, the two went straight to the mobile phone counter in the mall. Mobile phones in this era look bulky and function incomparably with the smartphones of the past.
"What do you want?" Rachel McAdams asked Matthew, standing in front of the counter. "Do you have any functional requirements?"
Matthew said bluntly, "If it's cheap, you can make a phone call!"
What are the functions of mobile phones of this era?
In line with the first principle of spending less money, Matthew bought a Nokia candy bar phone at the suggestion of Rachel McAdams. The phone has few functions, but it is enough to meet his needs to make calls.
"Didn't you get a lot of pay?"
When walking outside the mall, Rachel McAdams asked curiously, "You have a good part-time job, why are you being so stingy with yourself."
Matthew shrugged and said helplessly, "I lost my part-time job, took too much leave, and got fired."
Rachel McAdams shook her head, "What a pity, your job is perfect for a part-time actor."
"Who said it wasn't." Matthew had a headache. "It's hard to find a similar job."
The two gradually approached the entrance of the mall, and Rachel McAdams suggested, "Just be a full-time actor."
Matthew is also thinking, "You have to earn enough money to support yourself."
He looked at the time, "I'll invite you to dinner at noon."
Rachel McAdams shook her head, "I have an appointment with my agent for dinner at noon, and I'll be going to the other side of Valley Avenue in a while."
"Have a job?" Matthew asked.
"Probably." Rachel McAdams wasn't sure, "I don't know either."
"then you go."
Knowing this, Matthew wouldn't let Rachel McAdams accompany him over to buy a phone, "I'll call a taxi."
The two said a few more words. Rachel McAdams left first. Matthew called a taxi, bought another bunch of flowers, and waited for a while at the entrance of the mall. After the car came, he asked the driver to go to California. University School of Medicine.
Last night, he called, and Britney Spears had transferred to the UC School of Medicine, which has top experts in sports trauma physiotherapy.
There may be reporters or paparazzi at the entrance of the medical school. Matthew is mentally prepared. If there are no reporters and paparazzi blocking the entrance to the medical school to pay attention to Britney Spears, he will not go.
Dealing with those crazy entertainment reporters, he still had a headache. Fortunately, he didn't need to answer the questions. He just had to keep his mouth shut as Helen Herman ordered.
The taxi arrived at the entrance of the medical school of the University of California. After paying the fare, Matthew did not rush to get off, but observed it first. There were quite a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the medical school, most of them were boys and girls. Britney fans, and some with cameras or camcorders, no doubt journalists.
This taxi did not attract attention. Matthew pushed the door and got out of the car. He could have entered the gate of the medical school smoothly, but he slowed down.
"Hey, who is that person?" A reporter saw him, then recognized the face on "US News Report", and immediately shouted, "Matthew Horner is here! Look, Matthew - Horner is here!"
After speaking, he was the first to rush over.
