Chapter fifty-six good friends
(Everyone has a happy weekend and have fun, don’t forget to continue voting...)
On an ordinary weekday morning, a large number of entertainment reporters gathered on the beach of Paradise Bay in Malibu. They had received news before that the recently sensational incident between Matthew Horner and Britney Spears will be clarified in person.
In fact, there is no need to clarify the parties involved. Few of the entertainment journalists who came here really think that Matthew Horner, a country bumpkin, is dating Britney Spears, but none of them will write the truth in the media because no one will pay attention to it.
"If they clarified..."
While queuing into the restaurant, Ilena Poyal heard the two reporters behind, "Our hype is worthless."
Another reporter said, "This is Angel City, the location of Hollywood. There are celebrities everywhere. Are you worried about not being able to find gossip and scandals? Besides, wouldn't you create without us? Few celebrities will take precious time to sue small people like us. They send a lawyer's letter and we apologize in the newspaper. If you apologize, you don't have to pay for money, and you won't lose a piece of meat. What are you afraid of!"
Ilena Poyal looked back at the reporter. This peer was deeply aware of the essence of the entertainment gossip industry.
When she entered the restaurant, under the guidance of the staff, she walked to rows of chairs like other reporters. Since she came early, she found a position to sit in front, and then began to debug the equipment she carried to prepare for the next interview.
Ilena Poyal was very curious about Matthew Horner, one of the protagonists of the incident. She not only saw this person, but also had several dealings. She was a very interesting guy.
Although this scandal was carefully fabricated by her to earn attention and royalties, there must be appropriate incidents for fabrication. If Matthew Horner did not embrace Britney, Britney would have a very unscrupulous belief in his photos, and the manuscripts sent were just jokes.
"This guy is very good." Elena Boyal is a reporter who specializes in entertainment. He has long heard that Britney is a celebrity, like a hedgehog, "and he can actually be so familiar with Britney."
In the restaurant Matthew's special temporary dressing room, Helen Hermann was making his final advice.
"I will stand behind you," she said to Matthew. "If you encounter difficulties or don't know how to answer, don't speak up first, I will give you advice."
Matthew nodded, "Well, it depends on you in this regard."
He has no experience in dealing with media journalists at all.
Helen Herman pulled over a chair, sat next to Matthew and said, "This is what PR should do."
Matthew spread his hands and said helplessly, "I don't have public relations."
With his current status and wealth, it would be crazy to hire a public relations manager.
"Perform well." Helen Hermann said instead of ignoring this little thing with him, "Don't mess it up. You don't know how long you will have to wait for the next news!"
Matthew knew very well that this news would be achieved by Helen Hermann, who wanted to use Britney's side's mentality to clarify the scandal and continue to increase his exposure and the fame he gained from Britney.
Speaking of fame, Matthew thought of another thing and asked, "Didn't you say you want to borrow fame to get a new job for me?"
"Yes." Helen Herman nodded, but did not say anything.
Matthew had no choice but to continue asking, "How is it?"
"I've won an opportunity to audition." Helen Hermann was like squeezing toothpaste. Matthew didn't squeeze, so she didn't say, "I'll have to wait for a while."
"Can I know what the job is?" Matthew continued to squeeze.
Helen Hermann said appropriately, "A soldier during World War II, I will wait until you finish shooting this MV, don't be distracted!"
She said so, but Matthew simply stopped asking, but he was thinking, what kind of drama is there about World War II in this era?
At this time, a staff member came to inform him that Matthew and Helen Hermann had left the temporary powder room and entered the restaurant. After Britney and his side also arrived, they walked into the main hall together.
There were many reporters coming, and Matthew was a little nervous after sitting down.
"Relax." Helen Hermann stood behind and whispered to him, "Those are all rumor-producing people, what are they afraid of doing?"
Matthew thought about it and it was indeed the case.
He relaxed a lot in an instant, and when Britney saw it, she gave her a smile.
This is either a formal press conference or a simple rumor clarification press conference. The host said a few words and first handed over the microphone to Matthew.
After all, he is the protagonist of the incident.
Matthew had already memorized the manuscript, and it was as natural as saying the lines. "When shooting the MV, Britney was accidentally injured. In order to seek medical treatment in time, I carried her into the car... Britney and I were working partners who cooperated and had no relationship, and we were not 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 on turning on, and there was no stop in the whole process. Matthew knew that he would maintain a certain popularity in a short period of time.
Unfortunately, this is not the future social network era, and actors have to speak based on their works.
After Matthew finished reciting the manuscript, he handed the microphone to Britney.
"I'm still single and haven't dated anyone."
Perhaps it was from professional public relations, Britney's lines seemed relatively low-key, "The rumors some time ago were all misunderstandings... I would like to thank the fans and media friends for their concern."
Next, there was a brief on-site questioning session. Britney's agency and record company had already said hello in advance. In addition, the two victims clarified in person that such fake scandals basically would not have room for survival. Most reporters asked about the situation of the MV and no longer mentioned the so-called scandals.
But some people don’t say that Ilena Boyal is such a person. After all, they ask questions according to the organizer’s procedures and cannot get explosive news.
The microphone finally came to her hands, and she stood up and asked, "Britney, are you familiar with Matthew Horner?"
Matthew had long seen the tall Ilena Poyal. When he saw her standing up, his face was a little unnatural and he always felt that nothing was good.
“It’s familiar.”
There is no need to deny this kind of thing, Britney nodded and said, "We are friends."
The agent behind her had the urge to hit her head. What was this simple-minded girl thinking?
According to normal order, each reporter could only ask one question, but Ilena Poyar did not have this awareness. No one came to stop him. She then asked, "You are friends now, will you date in the future?"
Britney's agent quickly reminded him, "Don't answer."
People like Britney, in most cases, do whatever they think and say whatever they think.
She seemed not to have heard the agent's reminder. She first glanced at Matthew, and then said, "Who can tell you this kind of thing accurately."
Britney thought it very simply. Now she and Matthew don’t have that meaning, but from knowing Matthew at the beginning to chatting with her in the hospital to relieve her boredom, she left a very good impression on her. She didn’t think it was an exaggeration to say that they were friends. She didn’t know how the relationship would develop in the future.
So, she gave this answer.
"Mr. Matthew Horner." Elena Poyal had noticed a staff member coming towards her. He looked at Matthew and asked quickly, "Will you date Britney in the future?"
When the reporter asked Britney, Helen Herman was ready to ask Matthew a similar question. As soon as the Elena Poyal question was asked, she whispered behind Matthew, "Say you are good friends."
Matthew showed a simple mind in front of Britney's agent, but not really a simple mind. He knew that he had no experience in this area and was far inferior to a professional agent. He said completely according to Helen Hermann, "Britney and I are good friends."
While speaking, he looked at Britney. Britney seemed to agree with Matthew's statement very much and showed a sweet smile to him.
This moment was immediately captured by the reporter's camera.
But 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 Ilena Boyal at this time. Ilena Boyal saw a situation that was selling well enough, and did not continue to ask questions, and returned the microphone.
Matthew suddenly realized that his thoughts were wrong some time ago. Ilena Poyal was not a journalist with conscience and professional ethics at all. He was even more shameless and shameless than all the entertainment reporters present.
Just as he thought this, he found that Ilena Poyar was looking over, and he was still squeezing at him invisibly, as if he was saying hello in this way.
Matthew ignored her, and the news ended here. He followed Helen Hermann and left the hall together, returning to the dedicated temporary powder room to prepare for the next shooting.
"That female reporter knows you?" Helen Hermann saw Elena Poyal and shook his eyes, remembering the so-called journalist friend that Matthew mentioned, "She is the friend you mentioned as an entertainment journalist."
"This..." Matthew scratched his head, not knowing what to say, "It's not considered a good friend."
Helen Hermann stared at him and asked, "She asked, did you discuss this in advance?"
Such a question, coupled with Britney's inappropriate answer, undoubtedly gave the reporter a hype news point. Britney's side certainly did not want this situation, but this was beneficial to Matthew.
"No!" Matthew quickly denied, "No! I don't know she will come today."
