Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

As Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie left Los Angeles, the hype reports about the two finally fell short. Matthew was also preparing for the work and came to the Wells Gallery in the Santa Monica commercial area to visit the joint art exhibition of three famous postmodern young painters.

Originally, he wanted to invite James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to join him, but these two guys were busy with work and couldn't find time at all, so they had to come here alone.

Wells Gallery is a building decorated with marble outside and looks very artistic. The entrance is a white marble arch, and a red carpet is also laid under the arch.

Such a high-end art exhibition obviously has an entry threshold. Matthew came to the door and handed the invitation to the security guards at the door. Then the other party let him in.

When you enter the gallery, unlike the crowded and messy exhibitions you think, there are not many people in the gallery, and they are very quiet. Everyone's attention is basically on the hanging paintings. Even if someone talks about it, they will try to keep their voices down and not disturb others.

In such public places, even people with poor cultural literacy like Matthew know the most basic politeness.

Matthew walked through the spacious foyer and came to a display area opposite the door. There were three paintings hanging here. With his appreciation level, he could not understand what was painted at all. However, everyone around him was enjoying it and there were still people who praised him. He simply pretended to be appreciative.

This postmodern painting was really a bit abstract. He looked at it for a while, looked around and found that there were quite a few celebrities invited to this exhibition. Leonardo DiCaprio went to the exhibition area on the left, and Julia Roberts, a big mouth, had just entered the door.

"Mr. Horner."

A polite voice came from the back of the side, "I'm glad to see you here."

Matthew turned around and found that Robert Fernandez, who was giving him an invitation letter, nodded slightly and said, "Hello."

Robert Fernandez stepped forward and asked politely, "Do you want me to accompany you? Some paintings..."

"Thank you, no need." Matthew refused directly, "I will look for you if you need it."

Robert Fernandez retreated, pointed to the foyer and said, "I'm right there, you can come to me anytime if you need it."

Matthew nodded and left the exhibition area after Robert Fernandez left.

He walked along the long gallery, looking at the hanging paintings, and walked all the way to the exhibition area on the right. When he encountered colorful works, he would occasionally stop to take a look.

Of course, it is still very difficult to let him discover the possible beauty in it.

Finally, Matthew stopped in front of a huge oil painting. The oil painting was not the works of those three, but was obviously the background decoration of the gallery. He went to Zach Schneider last time and saw the print of the painting at his residence.

“Leonida is in the hot springs.”

A girl suddenly stood beside him. The girl looked at the background painting and said, "This is a work that Jacques Louis Davit has painted for fourteen years. The original work is now collected in the Louvre in Paris."

The girl turned her head, staring at Matthew with bright eyes, her tone was no longer as calm as before, and she said excitedly, "Hello, Matthew, I finally saw you again."

Matthew turned to look, recognized it immediately, and said, "Hello, Lily." He looked at the girl, "You're taller."

This girl is Lily Collins of the Harvard West Lake School he once saved.

"Really?" the girl was a little excited, "You can see all this."

"Shh..." Matthew raised his fingers and made a silence move. Lily Collins immediately covered his mouth playfully, and after a while, he lowered his voice, "I saw you too high and forgot that this is a gallery."

She whispered quickly, "I just saw your back look familiar in the corridor. I chased you and didn't expect it was you."

Matthew smiled, looked around, and asked, "Did you come by yourself?"

"Yes." Lily Collins nodded hurriedly, "Originally, my mother wanted to come with me, but she had something to do, so she asked the driver to send me over."

"Your mom?" Matthew was a little curious.

He could tell that Lily Collins was not an ordinary girl.

Lily Collins replied directly, "My mom is the chairman of the Beverly Hills Women's Club."

Matthew could imagine that this should not be an ordinary person's organization.

"Can we watch the exhibition together?" Lily Collins blinked his bright eyes and asked Matthew, "You should be alone, right? I am alone."

"Of course," Matthew said without refusing, "I just can't understand these paintings, and I need someone to give me some advice."

Lily Collins leaned closer, almost reaching Matthew's ear and said, "Tell you the truth, I can't understand it either. I just think it's fun to come here."

Matthew laughed, "Okay, let's enjoy these incomprehensible works together."

Lily Collins smiled brightly, held Matthew's arm, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said, "Let's go."

The two continued to walk forward, chatting while watching the paintings. Because their appreciation level was too low, they couldn't understand most of the paintings, so they focused on chatting later.

But Matthew and Lily Collins were both very careful and kept talking in a low voice.

"I have written many letters to you, and I have one letter almost every month." Lily Collins complained a little, "but I have never heard from you."

Matthew said apologetically, "These letters have always been handled by the brokerage company and cannot be handled by me at all."

The two entered the exhibition hall at the end of the corridor and saw that there were many people here, and they didn't join in the fun and read the famous paintings of the future. They simply found a corner without anyone and continued to chat together.

Lily Collins said again, "I know, my father's fans deal with this way, but I don't have any other contact information for you."

During the chat when he came here, Matthew had learned from Lily Collins that her father was the famous British singer Phil Collins, and Lily Collins was a veritable second-generation star and rich second-generation.

"I can't contact you..." Lily Collins seemed particularly disappointed, "I always feel that something is missing."

"This is it, Lily." Matthew thought about it, took out a business card from his pocket and said, "There is my phone number and a private email address on it. Don't call the phone. I usually don't answer it. You can send me an email."

Lily Collins widened his eyes excitedly, "Is it really OK?"

Someone passed by, and seemed to hear Lily Collins' voice. He looked here and then quickly left.

Matthew saw more people entering the exhibition hall and continued to say to Lily Collins, "Of course it can. But you should know that we are very busy at work and may not reply in time."

"It's okay! It's okay!" Lily Collins said quickly, "I'll be very happy as long as you can reply occasionally."

Matthew laughed, "I'm very happy to know you, you're a very active girl."

Lily Collins wrinkled his nose, "Of course, I'm definitely a leader in school." She seemed to think of something and asked, "You haven't had a movie released in a long time. The last time I filmed "Dawn of the Living Dead" is so scary that I dare not watch it."

"During Thanksgiving, the National Treasure, which I starred in, will be released." Matthew said carefully, "If you are interested, you will see the premiere."

Lily Collins nodded immediately, "Okay."

After chatting about the movie, Lily Collins asked, "Matthew, are you participating in the July Youth Hollywood Awards? "Pirates of the Caribbean" has received many nominations."

Matthew shook his head slightly, "Disney Pictures has not notified me yet, and I can't be sure now."

"What a pity." Lily Collins looked annoyed. "I am writing a column for the magazine "elle.girl". I will go to the red carpet of the Young Hollywood Awards. How great it would be if I could interview you."

"It's okay, maybe I'll participate." Matthew first comforted her, then asked with a little surprise, "You've started writing for magazines? It's amazing."

Lily Collins shrugged slightly and said with a slight self-deprecating voice, "It's all because of my parents, why would they know who Lily Collins is?"

But Matthew said, "That's not right. Think about it, "elle. girl" is a very famous magazine. If you don't have enough ability, will they ask you for an article?"

"Uh..." Lily Collins thought for a while and laughed again, "It seems that what you said makes sense."

She then reminded, "Matthew, if you participate in the Young Hollywood Awards, you must notify me in advance."

Matthew nodded, "I will."

The Youth Hollywood Award is an important award in the American film industry's summer season. It was founded in the late 1990s and is known as the "Oscar of Young Hollywood". The winners are basically young people under the age of 25. They have performed well in the American film industry and injected fresh blood into the film industry. Therefore, the annual Youth Hollywood Awards ceremony has also attracted much attention from major media.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" has received multiple nominations, but Disney Pictures may not be able to look down on such awards.

Matthew also needs to prepare for the filming of "Mr. Smith". There may not be time at that time, and he will not be able to go for Lily Collins.

Lily Collins left her phone number to Matthew, and then he felt relieved when he saw Matthew's deposit.
