Chapter 73 Unlimited Hatred
(Ask for a recommendation ticket! Come and have more!)
Now that Britney is popular, the MV for "Sometimes" has attracted nearly 100 media outlets. The huge media center is full of reporters. When Matthew came out, he even saw the camera used for live broadcast.
Under the guidance of the staff, he sat in an inconspicuous position at the front desk of the media center. Just like the last press conference, Helen Herman stood behind him like an ordinary staff member.
Matthew's exposure to the media was limited, and Helen Herman standing here gave him confidence. Even if a media reporter noticed him and asked some tricky questions, don't worry.
"Bob, who was in your room the night before yesterday?"
Accompanying Britney to the front desk of the media center, the agent asked strangely, "You asked for so many dinners?"
Thinking of the night before, there was a sweet smile on the corner of Britney's mouth, but she remembered what Matthew said, and felt that what he said made sense, and replied casually, "No one? I'm hungry, choose what I want to eat. some."
The agent seemed concerned, "You have to keep in shape."
These words reminded Britney of Matthew's evaluation of her "water snake waist", and the way she couldn't put it down when her rough palms were touched, and she nodded quickly, "I know, I will keep my figure."
The two turned to the front desk, and the media center immediately burst into commotion. Britney ignored the reporters and looked at Matthew for the first time. When Matthew looked over, she showed a sweet smile and sat in her seat. .
The agent stood behind her.
The hired temporary host picked up the microphone, and the MV premiere officially began.
Because Britney is now red to purple, this premiere not only attracted a large number of reporters to the scene, but under the active contact of the record company, MTV Channel 2 also carried out a live broadcast.
The Greater Los Angeles area, in the San Fernando Valley, is home to a large number of studios and agencies that serve the studios. Hansen Entertainment Agency is one of them.
Morris is one of the partners of Hansen Entertainment Agency Service Company. Although it is only a small partner, it is also regarded as an entertainment agency with some status in the industry, and there is a separate office in the company.
He sat behind his desk, looked at the quartz clock on the wall, calculated the time difference between New York and Los Angeles, picked up the remote, and turned on the TV, since he had checked Matthew Horner and Helen Helen before. What Mann said that day was directly changed to MTV 2.
Sure enough, MTV 2 was broadcasting the premiere of Britney Spears' "Sometimes" MV. At this time, the MV just started to play. The hot and sexy Britney Spears twisted her waist and was with a group of boys and girls. There was a hot dance in front of the beach, and then the camera changed. A tall, sunny and strong sportsman appeared on the beach. Britney Spears looked at him shyly, and her eyes seemed to be full of admiration.
Morris touched his bald head, expressionless, the handsome man's face was very familiar, it was Matthew Horner whom he had seen a few days ago!
He turned out to be the hero of the Britney Spears MV!
This fact is not too difficult to accept. After all, Morris called yesterday to verify that Matthew Horner did pass the audition for the new project "Band of Brothers" produced by Tom Hanks and Spielberg. The role of weight, the two sides have signed a formal contract.
Beyond the absurdity, Morris simply couldn't describe how he felt.
It is really hard to accept that a person who almost made a romantic action movie has become famous in Hollywood and seems to have a tendency to become a star.
In particular, this person also brought him considerable trouble, and he had to be careful to say good things everywhere.
Looking at Britney and Matthew Horner looking at each other affectionately in the MV, Morris touched his bald head,
Thinking about it, he couldn't help this bastard become famous.
Otherwise, isn't everything he paid to settle the trouble in vain?
There was a sudden knock on the office door, and Morris said casually, "Come in."
A tall, handsome young man walked in, and Morris pointed to the chair by the desk, "Sit whatever you want, Mike."
This is the little actor he seduced outside the bar a few months ago. After a period of hard work, and this idiot named Michael Sheehan is so poor that he has almost no money and no official job, he is seduced by high pay. In the end, he became his contracted actor, and he has already participated in one film.
Today, Morris specially called him over to discuss a new contract. According to the regulations of the industry association, they can sign a formal long-term contract.
Michael Sheehan had just sat down when he suddenly heard a voice behind him, turned his head and glanced, and found that the TV opposite the desk was playing a program, which seemed to be an MV.
On the MV, a young, sexy, beautiful, and youthful girl is dancing.
"Britney?" Of course Michael Sheehan knew the heroine of the MV. "Is this her MV?"
Then the screen switched, on the beach, Britney hugged a young man, Michael Sheehan's face changed greatly, "Matthew Horner!"
This voice is not loud, but it carries infinite hatred!
Morris heard clearly and asked curiously, "You know Matthew Horner?"
"Of course I know him!"
When Matthew Horner was mentioned, Michael Sheehan felt a burning pain in his buttocks. He pointed to the TV and said loudly, "I was originally the male lead of this MV! The director of the production team decided that I would be the male lead! Matthew Horner used a dirty trick against me, made me play a bad audition, and stole my male lead!"
"He..." Morris said tentatively, "How did he take it?"
Michael Sheehan was dumbfounded and twisted his ass unconsciously, "The director is gay, he sold his ass to the director!"
Morris was immediately interested, "Really?"
Michael Sheehan bite the bullet and said, "Really!" He realized that was wrong and asked, "You know Matthew Horner too?"
"That's right," Morris said directly. "He used to be my contract actor."
"What?" Michael Sheehan stood up excitedly, "You mean, he was involved in the shooting of these films?"
At this moment, he felt a lot of balance in his heart.
Morris shook his head, "No. He suddenly backtracked just before filming, causing me a series of troubles that I just settled some time ago."
"Why not?" Michael Sheehan was unbalanced again, and sat down in a daze, "Why not?"
He looked up at Morris, "Did he go back and not default?"
"The production company just reached an out-of-court settlement with him a few days ago." Morris continued, "He is going to pay the production company $30,000 in liquidated damages."
"Thirty thousand dollars?" Michael Sheehan said when he heard the big number. "Can he come up with that money? I know Matthew Horner, he has no money at all."
Morris shook his bald head, "I checked yesterday, he has signed a casting agreement with Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's World War II epic project "Band of Brothers", the total investment of the series. More than $100 million, Matthew Horner and the crew's liquidated damages are as high as $300,000, and it is speculated from this that Matthew Horner's salary will not be less than $50,000."
Michael Sheehan was completely stunned, just unconsciously repeating some key words, "Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg? World War II epic project? Total investment of more than 100 million US dollars? Liquidated damages as high as 300,000 Dollar……"
He suddenly stood up again, "Matthew Horner, this bastard, he won't take away my MV male lead, these are all mine!"
It must have been the role Helen Herman landed for Matthew Horner, and if he had won the audition in the first place, it must have belonged to him.
Michael Sheehan looked at Morris, "Why didn't you release the news to the press that Matthew Horner was in this kind of film? So he won't get the role?" He clapped his hand, "Yeah! I also have something to say, this bastard who sells his ass to take the role, I want to expose him!"
"You think I don't want to?" Morris said, rubbing his bald head, "Matthew Horner has signed a formal contract with the 'Band of Brothers' crew, and you think what we say can affect Tom Hanks and Steven - Spielberg? Will the crew risk a breach of contract to replace an important character actor with a liquidated damage of up to $300,000 because of two practitioners in this industry?"
He could see it, Michael Sheehan looked shrewd, but he could be stupid.
"What should we do?" The common enemy made Michael Sheehan take Morris as his own. "You can't watch him become popular, right?"
Morris' face showed a bit of ruthlessness. "I will always pay attention to him. When he talks with the crew next time, we will release the news. As long as a formal contract is not signed, the crew will have concerns, and then..."
Michael Sheehan grinned, "Don't forget to call me."
In New York, the opening ceremony has already reached the question-and-answer session, but few reporters asked Matthew, and everyone's focus was on Britney.
"Hello, Britney." A female reporter stood up and asked, "I'm a reporter from The New York Times. It is said that preparations for your first world tour have already begun."
The agent at the back reminded Britney in a low voice, and Britney then replied, "Yeah."
She raised her voice slightly, "I am very excited to announce that starting next year, that is, in January 2000, the "First Confession of Love" world tour will officially start and will continue until October!"
There was a big round of applause, and Matthew was applauding Britney, even though he thought the world tour would be a little too fast for a young star.
The MV premiere ceremony ended successfully, and Matthew only had time to say a few words of goodbye to Britney in the background, and the two would go their separate ways.
Britney is going to Nashville to continue running the announcement, and Matthew must follow Helen Herman back to the Warner Studios in Burbank to report, and then travel with the crew to the UK to prepare for the filming of "Band of Brothers".
