Chapter 48: The Enemy of Life
(Please recommend votes! Please bookmark it!)
The golden sunlight shone from the sky and fell on the bushes on the edge of the cliff. Below the bushes, there is a crescent-shaped beach. There is also a long wooden trestle in the corner of Crescent Beach, which extends into the blue sea.
This beautiful beach is Paradise Bay in Malibu, contracted by a restaurant, and you must purchase tickets if you want to enter.
However, there are no tourists on the beach today. Instead, there are countless reporters holding spears and cannons gathered on the cliff behind the beach.
Britney Spears's record company temporarily rented the beach to shoot the "Sometimes" MV.
Early in the morning, Matthew followed the crew to the beach. The record company rented not only the beach, but also the restaurant.
Several rooms in the restaurant were temporarily converted into lounges and powder rooms.
Thanks to the struggle of Helen Hermann who came here at the same time, Matthew, the male protagonist, occupied a room alone.
"I didn't expect you to come here in person."
Matthew sat in front of the makeup mirror and let the makeup artist paint on his face. He said to Helen Herman, who was sitting behind to read the newspaper, "I thought you wouldn't care if you threw me to the crew."
Helen Hermann said without leaving the newspaper, "I have no other job for the time being, and you are not only chosen by them, but also by me."
This was a bit inexplicable. Matthew thought about it for a while before he understood it.
"Oh..." Matthew asked casually, "So, I am your most important customer."
He heard Amanda say that the Angel Brokerage Company will not be large in scale, and Helen Hermann will not be able to get too many resources and will only use them in a concentrated manner.
"You haven't shown that potential yet." Helen Hermann denied.
Matthew looked at Helen Herman through the makeup mirror. Helen Herman's face was blocked by the newspaper and he could not see anything.
After putting on makeup, Matthew changed into a white T-shirt. The T-shirt was designed with a close-fitting design, tightly tightly on his strong body, highlighting the smooth muscle lines.
His muscles are caused by long-term high-intensity physical labor, which is different from the exaggerated muscles trained in the gym.
Matthew looks strong, but this strength is different from Arnold Schwarzenegger or the boulder, but it is more like the enhanced version of Tom Cruise.
Because he had to shoot barefoot on the beach, after changing his clothes, Matthew put on a pair of slippers. Regardless of Helen Hermann, who was still reading the newspaper, picked up his work bag, walked out of the dressing room, and walked along the wooden trestle that led to the restaurant toward the beach.
From the trestle to the beach, Matthew saw the temporary resting place of the actors covered by the tent, found his chair and sat down, looking at the place near the sea, a dance team of about seven or eight people, led by the choreographer, and finally became familiar with the dance movements.
He was a layman in dance and music, and he could not tell anything. He just speculated from the faces of very young male and female dancers that they should be dancing the dance that teenagers like.
"Miss Spears..." A cautious voice came over, "Please go here."
Matthew turned to see, Britney Spears walked into the tent in a white waist-exposed outfit.
It was probably the relationship between the male and female protagonists, and her chair was very close to Matthew.
Director Zach Schneider is still leading the crew to set up the shooting venue, and filming will not start in a short period of time. Britney Spears sat on the chair and waited patiently.
Matthew was prepared for a long time. Seeing that there was no one else in the tent, he took out the notebook and pen from his work bag, stood up and walked to Britney.
Britney Spears looked at him with a little surprise. Matthew scratched his head as embarrassed as he was, revealing a bright and shy smile as sunny as sunny, "Hello, Miss Spears, I am your fan. I have been looking for you to sign, but I can't find a suitable opportunity."
He had never rehearsed or had a conversation with Britney Spears.
"Can you do it for me..." Matthew pointed to the pen and the signature book embarrassedly, "Can you help me, a loyal fan sign the autograph?"
For some reason, Britney remembered Matthew, took the pen and notebook happily, and asked, "You are Matthew Horner, are you?"
"Just call me Matthew." Matthew looked surprised, as if he could be remembered by Britney, and then he asked tentatively, "I... can I call you Britney?"
Britney said while signing his laptop, “Of course.”
She suddenly stopped writing, couldn't help but feel curious, and asked, "Which singer do you hate the most?"
Matthew suddenly had the urge to knock his head against the beach, and he also had the curiosity to knock open the underside of her blonde hair to see what strange structure it was inside.
But when he saw Britney's youthful face with a completely different sexy mature figure, he gradually realized that he was a girl with no social experience and relatively simple mind. Judging from the gossip he knew, Britney's maturity was still very, very slow.
Thinking of this in my heart, Matthew kept saying, "I don't like Christina Aguilera very much."
He thinks that for people with simple minds, it is better to say the simplest answer at this time.
"Why?" Britney asked curiously.
Matthew had never heard of Christina Aguilera's songs. Apart from the pictures found online some time ago, he had almost no impression of the female singer, but he reacted very quickly, just like what he said on the audition day, but the words were deliberately tactful.
"I think she looks weird." Matthew was not as direct as that day. "The voice was strange, and I couldn't stop having goose bumps when I listened to her songs, just like eating food that made me sick."
"Like disgusting food?" Britney Spears suddenly laughed, "That's so cool!"
The pen in her hand quickly slashed on the notebook. After a while, it was handed back to Matthew. Matthew went to see it immediately, and his eyes suddenly jumped. Not only did Britney sign the autograph, but she also left a line of strange congratulations on it.
"Matthew Horner, who hates Christina Aguilera, is happy every day! Britney Spears."
What is the difference between this and the childish girls in middle school who are cursing the curse of villains as pretty as hers?
Matthew could see that maybe Britney is a genius in singing, but in dealing with actual life and interpersonal relationships, he is probably less than the average of the public.
Once such a person is deliberately provoked, he often doesn’t know what he will do.
"Thank you, Britney." Matthew closed the book and continued, "I can show off when I go to the performance class!"
Britney's understanding of this was completely different, "Does those people hate Christina Aguilera?"
Some concepts became clearer in Matthew's mind. Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera had deeper conflicts, and the media helped fuel the fire. I wished that the two of them would cut each other directly with a knife. They were destined to be enemies of their lives.
"No!" Matthew's limited brain capacity was used almost all at this time. "Some people like Christina Aguilera, but her fans."
He was a little unhappy when he saw Britney frowning, and then said, "I have never been incompatible with them. I once said in the performance class that people who like Christina Aguilera have problems with their heads and should be destroyed by humanity!"
After hearing Matthew's interesting words, Britney's unhappiness instantly dissipated and she laughed again, "Yes, it should be humanely destroyed! Even Christina Aguilera!"
"Britney." Matthew seemed to realize it later, "You don't like Christina Aguilera either?"
With the preparation of the previous one and the simple consideration of things, Britney said directly, "It's not that she doesn't like it, but that she hates it! Very annoying!"
Matthew scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "What a coincidence. Actually, I hate it too. I don't like it just a tactful statement, after all..."
He seemed to be unable to find a suitable word.
Britney waved her hand generously, "I know, it's okay, we are the same when we hate Christina Aguilera."
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Matthew nodded hurriedly, "We are the same!"
He felt that Britney would rarely mention this matter to others, and asked specifically, "Do you think Christina Aguilera is ugly and has a bad voice?"
"No." Britney shook her head and said hatefully, "I met her at Mickey Mouse Club, she is..."
Since there were no one nearby, Britney didn't care that this was the MV shooting scene, and told Matthew a lot about her past events with Christina Aguilera. They were basically two pretentious and impulsive little girls, who were targeting each other in order to steal the limelight.
Matthew became a listener, and except for expressing his agreement with tones such as um, ah, or so, he never interrupted Britney's words.
It was not until Britney finished speaking that Matthew said very seriously, "I didn't expect Christina Aguilera to be so hateful, she is just a blue pool!"
Britney nodded vigorously, "That's it!"
Matthew pretended to be kind to remind him, "Britney, be careful when interacting with such people."
"Yeah!" Britney continued to nod, then looked at Matthew, and felt it was pleasing to the eye. He simply said, "You call me Bubu, friends call me that."
In just less than ten minutes, with Matthew's efforts, the friendship between the two men rose sharply.
At the edge of the wooden trestle, Helen Hermann stood at the edge of the guardrail and kept watching the actor's resting place. From Matthew's first search for Britney to sign the autograph to the two of them chatting enthusiastically, she saw it all, but did not go over and disturb her.
Seeing the end, even she was a little impressed. Matthew was indeed very good at chatting with Britney, a simple-minded and low-emotional intelligence girl.
