Chapter nine hundred and fifteen
The police arrived soon, and the rest of the matter was naturally handled by the police. There were many witnesses in the lounge. With the surveillance video, the whole incident was clear and clear. The biggest question was Eddie Rolls' motivation. After all, Chris Kyle and Chad Litterfield were the people who wanted to help him.
In a short while, the police recorded the records for people including Matthew and Margot Robbie, and asked someone to temporarily deal with Chris Kyle's wounds.
Chris Kyle missed death several times on the Iraqi battlefield. This time the goddess of luck still favored him, and his ears were just scratches caused by the scorching air flow caused by bullets.
To be precise, the second bullet shot by Eddie Rolls did not touch Chris Kyle at all.
Matthew also thought that he was favored by the goddess of luck. At such a close distance, he was really lucky to be able to escape from the gun when facing a crazy veteran who had killed countless people.
After coming out of the room where the transcript was completed, Matthew found that Helen Herman had arrived.
"Heheelmann said in a low voice, "How can you always encounter these things?"
She complained and asked again, "Are you not injured?"
"I'm fine." Matthew didn't take her complaints to heart, "The guy was going to kill Chris Kyle and Chad Litterfield, I'm not lucky."
The door of another room opened and Margot Robbie walked out, but she obviously did not receive as good treatment as Matthew, and the agent did not come.
Matthew signaled Margot Robbie with his eyes and said, "I'll say hello, this man just saved me."
Helen Hermann saw Margot Robbie walking towards this side and asked first, "What's going on."
"This Australian girl is very tough. She hit the crazy veteran kneeling." Matthew spoke very quickly and then met Margot Robbie and said, "How is it, they didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Margot Robbie shook her head gently, "No, I just told you about it."
Helen Hermann went to the police to ask, and came over and said, "Okay, we can leave now."
Matthew looked at Margot Robbie, "You drove here?" Seeing Margot Robbie, he asked again, "Can you still drive? Why don't you go with me? Put the car here and I'll let the club send it to you tonight."
Margot Robbie thought for a while and said, "It should be fine, there is no need to be such trouble."
Matthew nodded, and did not force himself, and went to see Chris Kyle again. The veteran was in a bad mood and the pain of losing his friend was tormenting him. Matthew didn't know how to comfort Chris Kyle, but fortunately Taya Kyle had arrived.
He simply said a few words to Chris Kyle and Taya Kyle, then said goodbye and left.
Taya Kyle whispered to him and then took Chris Kyle to see a psychiatrist.
The sequelae of war has always affected Chris Kyle.
Matthew was powerless and soon joined Helen Hermann and Margot Robbie in the shooting club.
The incident took place for a short time and was still in a closed environment with strict management. It seems that the media has not received any news and has not seen reporters outside.
After Margot Robbie bid farewell to Matthew, he drove away alone.
Matthew didn't drive and threw the car keys directly to the club's people, asked them to send them to Horner Manor, and then got into Helen Herman's car.
"Do you want to see a psychologist?" Helen Herman asked the driver to drive, "Do you need it?"
"No." Matthew got into the car, threw all the life after the disaster behind his head, and said directly, "Helen, since things have happened, we are ready."
He thought for a moment and said, "You are responsible for communicating with the crew's press officer and the news media. I will call Niebola and ask him to get a surveillance video for you. You can grasp the timing of release. I want this incident to attract more attention from "American Sniper"."
Things can't be reversed, but they can be used.
Helen Hermann added another point, "After the news fermentation, I will call a press conference. Also, I will publicly contact charitable organizations that help veterans in your name to donate money."
Matthew nodded, "You communicate directly with Amanda."
There is no objection to these, he still has this vision. He donates money now so that "American Sniper" can make more money.
"That Margot Robbie's name sounds familiar?" Helen Hermann asked suddenly.
"A Australian actor, little star." Matthew said simply, "She is waiting for me in the shooting range today, and wants to fight with me for the opportunity to play Taya Kyle in "American Sniper".
Helen Hermann said, "I dare to take the initiative to attack the thugs with guns, and I may not dare."
Hearing this, Matthew asked deliberately, "You won't refuse to save me, right? You will definitely take action."
"Not necessarily." Helen Hermann said lightly, "Didn't you tell me that nothing is more important than your own life."
Matthew was speechless for a moment, and then thought of Margot Robbie, the Australian actress is really brave.
Back at Horner Manor, Matthew immediately asked the audition director of the "American Sniper" crew for the video of Margot Robbie's first audition. Margot Robbie's acting skills are not very good, and it is not bad. It's okay to draw above the passing line.
Immediately, he called Clint Eastwood.
Although the heroine could be decided by him, Matthew still greeted Clint Eastwood in advance. After all, respect is mutual.
After watching the video of his first audition, Clint Eastwood called back and fully agreed.
Matthew has not informed Margot Robbie for the time being, and he does not have Margot Robbie’s contact information. The accident happened too quickly today and there was no time to ask for it.
He threw this kind of thing at Helen Herman again, and Margot Robbie is also a small star. With Helen Herman's ability, it is not difficult to find her agent or economic company.
In the afternoon of the same day, Helen Herman met with Ilena Poyal, and then news about shootings began to appear online. The media that first reported were basically all Helen Hermann contacted him, and his position was naturally biased towards Matthew.
The police also confirmed the authenticity of the incident and convened a small press conference that night.
The next day, Helen Hermann held a press conference on behalf of Matthew, and the media was in an uproar, but the subsequent reports were still inclined to Matthew.
"Matthew Horner and Chris Kyle were attacked by gunmen, and the two joined forces to subdue the thugs!"
A large number of news like this emerged in the media, many of which mentioned the name of Margot Robbie, which was also what Matthew asked Helen Hermann to do.
At the press conference, Helen Hermann focused on the Australian actress.
This is also a small reward for helping her, and it is also beneficial to the crew. Matthew has decided to use Margot Robbie as the heroine of "American Sniper".
Just like the Burbank drug dealer shooting incident, the media also hyped it very much this time, and "American Sniper" has won countless attention.
Furthermore, this once again attracted the attention of society to the issue of veterans.
The United States did a bad job in the follow-up issues of veterans, which caused many problems, and it felt like the store was too big and could not take care of it.
The social psychology of normal people is balanced, away from blood and cruelty, and this balance is completely overturned in war.
The media in North America was very strong, and then they actually got a face-to-face interview with Eddie Rolls.
It was also after watching this interview that Matthew realized how serious Eddie Rolls' psychological problems were.
The meaning of Eddie Rolls in the interview is very simple. To sum up: I was unemployed after the war and felt that life was meaningless, and I thought that the war had taken away everything from him. I was a loser; aren’t Chris Kyle and Chad Litterfield quite awesome, they are fighting heroes and have a happy family, which is in sharp contrast to me, and I also pretended to comfort me, and I will kill you and make you proud.
In other words, no matter what Chris Kyle and Chad Litterfield did, Eddie Rolls thought it was a ridiculous mockery of his current lost life.
The psychological trauma caused by war deserves sympathy, but there is no power to kill people at will.
Besides, he threatened Matthew's personal safety.
He is not the only one who has the psychological trauma of war, and Chris Kyle also has it.
But Chris Kyle chose completely differently. The psychologist told him that trying to help others would relieve his condition, but he was almost killed by the person he helped.
Matthew couldn't control anything else, Eddie Rolls would never come out of prison again in his life.
Some tabloids also sent some messy news, such as a tabloid interviewing Eddie Rous's sister, who said Eddie Rous did this because Chris Kyle and Chad Litterfield had been sending messages to mock him.
But she couldn't provide any evidence where the message was and what the content was.
There is no need to distinguish between true and false in this matter. If a person is mocked, he will pay the price of his life, and then all the keyboard warriors will die.
Matthew did not distract himself from this matter and continued to prepare for "American Sniper". After Helen Herman contacted Margot Robbie's agent, Bella Anderson quickly settled the actor contract with Margot Robbie. For actresses of Margot Robbie's level, chances are more important than rewards.
