Chapter 52 Beginning and Ending
(My daughter has diarrhea these days, and she has suffered more than a dozen times a day, and she is exhausted... As usual, please recommend! Guys, give it more.)
"There is no class in the language class in the afternoon." Let's walk out of the performance class classroom together, Rachel McAdams asked Matthew, "Where are you going? Hollywood Avenue?"
Matthew thought for a while and said, "I want to buy a cell phone." He turned to Rachel McAdams, "Do you know where there are mobile phones nearby?"
The second-hand phone leaked badly, so it was time to change it.
"There is a large shopping mall on the east side of Valley Avenue." Rachel McAdams has been there. "There are counters selling mobile phones, including Nokia and Motorola. Why don't I accompany you to take a look?"
Matthew nodded, "Okay, I just happened to help me with some advice. I don't know much about these things."
When he used his mobile phone, he had already seen smart phones everywhere, and he really didn't know much about these old-fashioned mobile phones.
"I'll go pick up the car." Rachel McAdams was about to go to the parking lot, "I'll wait for you in the old place at the school gate."
Rachel McAdams went to the parking lot, and Matthew walked towards the school gate alone, thinking about the gossip about him and Britney Spears in the "American News" today, thinking about whether he should go to the hospital to visit Britney Spears?
I think there will be many media reporters at the entrance of the hospital?
His second-hand cell phone rang at this time, and it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, this is Matthew Horner." He said politely.
"It's me, Helen." Helen Hermann's voice came from the receiver, "Are you still in school?"
Matthew changed his hand and answered the question irrelevantly, "Have you changed your phone number?"
"This is my private mobile number." Helen Hermann explained briefly, "I am not in Los Angeles now. Britney's agent is looking for me. I won't need my previous mobile number these days. I have something to do to make this call."
Matthew thought about it roughly and guessed Helen Hermann’s intention. She obviously wanted this false scandal to be brewed for a while.
Just as Matthew was thinking of walking forward, Helen Herman said on the phone again, "Also, go to the hospital today to visit Britney. Aren't you very familiar with her? You have to have a beginning and an end."
"Ah..." Matthew had such an idea before, but he didn't expect that Helen Hermann also thought of this. "I'll go in the afternoon, and now I'll buy a mobile phone first."
Helen Hermann finally reminded, "If Britney talks to you, remember! Don't do anything! Don't make any promises! Let's talk about everything when I go back! I need you to have exposure now! You have a certain reputation, so what I want to talk about next will go smoothly!"
Matthew immediately asked, “Is it a new job?”
"Yes." Helen Hermann also didn't deny it, "I'm talking about the roles in a miniseries series, with many lines and characters."
"Okay! OK! OK!" Matthew came to the school gate and nodded hurriedly, "I will definitely cooperate with you!"
The character that Helen Hermann can speak so seriously is definitely more important than the barbarian leader in "Gladiator".
After 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 could understand what was going on, more than a dozen reporters surrounded him, and the microphone and small recorder were handed directly to him.
"Mr. Matthew Horner, are you really dating Britney Spears?"
Miscellaneous questions also flew over.
"When did you start dating?"
"Have you ever had sex with Britney?"
"Isn't Britney still a virgin when she's with you?"
Matthew didn't say anything, and the reporters and paparazzi had already given them sex.
"Will you get married?"
"Does your pursuit of Britney have another purpose?"
For a moment, Matthew was a little stunned by the reporter's question. He had never faced media reporters and had no experience in dealing with this aspect.
Fortunately, he kept Helen Herman's advice in mind. No matter how the reporter paparazzi asked, he always kept his mouth shut and didn't spit a word outside, but just walked forward step by step.
He had already seen Rachel McAdams' car parked not far ahead.
The paparazzi and reporters refused to let him go. The camera flashed off the lights and never disappeared. All kinds of messy questions kept ringing. Some reporters even asked Britney absurdly if she was pregnant this time...
Compared to them, Matthew felt that Ilena Poyar, whom he had contacted, was simply a good journalist with conscience and professional ethics.
After a lot of effort, he approached Rachel McAdams' car, and then found a gap. He winked at Rachel McAdams who had been following this side. When Rachel McAdams opened the door of the co-pilot, he suddenly dodged away from the reporters in front of him, rushed into the car with lightning speed and closed the door. Rachel McAdams had already started the car and rushed out directly on the accelerator.
The car went away and the reporters gradually dispersed. Two reporters did not leave. They were standing together with tags from the same newspaper.
The one who took the small recorder asked the person who took the camera, "Have the person in the car taken a photo?"
"I've taken it!" said the person holding the camera with certainty, "Is there a woman sitting in the driver's seat, or a blonde beauty!"
"We have something to write about! Maybe we can make the front page headlines!" The person holding the small tape recorder laughed happily and muttered, "Britney's new boyfriend is suspected to have dated other women during her injury and hospitalization..."
The person holding the camera also laughed, readers of such explosive news will definitely like it.
They left immediately, Rachel McAdams' car drifted away, and when the car was away from the gate of the Los Angeles Performing Arts School, Matthew gestured an exaggerated cross.
"What are you praying for?" Rachel McAdams asked curiously.
"The God of Luck is favored..." Matthew said exaggeratedly, "I can get in the car 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 seeing it and facing it directly are completely different.
He originally thought that people like himself or Ilena Poyar were shameless. Compared with the questions asked by those paparazzi, they were definitely moral role models.
"Is it so exaggerated?" Rachel McAdams stopped the car and asked, "Many people are looking forward to such a scene."
Instead of answering, Matthew asked, "Why don't you call to remind me?"
Rachel McAdams started the car and waited for the car to pass the intersection and said, "I'll call you, but you're on the phone."
"Yes!" Matthew patted his forehead, "I've been calling the agent."
The car soon arrived at the mall as Rachel McAdams said. After parking the car, the two went straight to the mobile phone counter in the mall. The mobile phones of this era looked very bulky and their functions were incomparable to the smartphones of the past.
"What do you want?" Rachel McAdams stood in front of the counter and asked Matthew, "Do you have any requirements for functions?"
Matthew said bluntly, "You need to be cheap, just call!"
What other functions do mobile phones in this era need?
Based on the first principle of spending less money, Matthew bought a Nokia straight-board mobile phone at the suggestion of Rachel McAdams. The phone has few functions but is enough to meet his need to make calls.
"Didn't you get a lot of pay?"
As he walked out of the mall, Rachel McAdams asked curiously, "I have a good part-time job, why are you so stingy with me?"
Matthew shrugged and said helplessly, "I lost my part-time job, took too many leaves, and I was fired."
Rachel McAdams shook his head, "What a pity, your job is perfect for part-time actors."
"Who said no?" Matthew had a headache. "It's hard to find another similar job."
The two gradually approached the entrance of the mall, and Rachel McAdams suggested, "You might as well be a full-time actor."
Matthew was also considering, "You have to make enough money to support yourself."
He looked at the time, "I'll treat you to lunch."
Rachel McAdams shook his head, "I asked my agent for dinner at noon and I'm going to the other end of the Valley Avenue later."
"Are you a job?" Matthew asked.
"Probably," Rachel McAdams wasn't sure, "I don't know either."
"Then you go."
If he had known this, Matthew wouldn't have asked Rachel McAdams to come with him to buy a cell phone, "I'll call a taxi."
The two said a few more words, Rachel McAdams left first, Matthew called a taxi, bought another bouquet of flowers, and waited at the entrance of the mall for a while. After the car arrived, he asked the driver to go to the University of California Medical School.
He called last night and Britney Spears had been transferred to the University of California School of Medicine, where top experts in sports trauma therapy were present.
There may be reporters or paparazzi at the entrance of the medical school. Matthew is mentally prepared. If there are no reporters and paparazzi at the entrance of the medical school, he will not go yet.
He still felt a headache when dealing with those crazy entertainment reporters. Fortunately, he didn't need to answer questions. He just kept his mouth shut as Helen Hermann told him.
The taxi arrived at the entrance of the University of California Medical School. After paying the fare, Matthew did not rush to get off the bus, but observed it first. There were quite a few people gathered at the entrance of the medical school, most of whom were boys and girls. I think they should be Britney's fans, and some people were holding cameras or cameras, so they must be reporters.
The taxi did not attract attention. Matthew pushed the door and got out of the car. He could have walked into the medical school smoothly, but he slowed down.
"Huh, who is that person?" A reporter saw him, then recognized him as the face in "American News" and immediately shouted, "Matthew Horner is here! Look, Matthew Horner is here!"
After saying that, he rushed over first.
