Chapter 499 Social Responsibility
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
At Long Beach Pier, media reporters gathered, and Warner TV even dispatched a TV broadcasting car.
Not far from the media's camera, a huge container freighter was parked on the berth, and the gantry crane lifted one container after another and loaded it onto the freighter.
Ilena Boyal went out in person today, stood in front of two cameramen, pointed to a standard container that was lifted and said, "Please take pictures of the marks on the container."
On the red container, the blue UNHCR mark and the white Matthew Foundation's Mh mark is unusually eye-catching.
"How many containers have you loaded?" The older reporter pressed the camera shutter and muttered.
The young reporter was carrying the camera, "I'm counting, it seems that there are forty-five containers on board." He took the time to point to the road leading to the dock in the storage area, and said, "The convoy is still transporting here."
The older reporter sighed, "Matthew Horner is really willing to put the capital."
Ilena Poyal glanced at the two men, but didn't say much, because she knew a truth very well that high investment could bring about higher returns.
Besides, Matthew probably won't spend his own money either.
It seems that his two foundations have raised considerable amounts of donations.
For some reason, Ilena Poyal suddenly thought of the woman with short golden hair. The woman was about the same age as Matthew, but she was extremely smart and a good at business operations.
She is a person in the media industry and has followed the news of Matthew’s two charitable foundations. She is not the most famous among Hollywood stars, but she is also in the second tier, and people can think of it as soon as they see it.
If you guessed correctly, the woman should have done this on purpose.
Trucks came after trucks, and each container on it was marked by the United Nations Refugee Agency and Matthew's Foundation.
Ilena Poyal stood here and saw clearly. The officials from the United Nations were quite excited. A few of them were saying something to Matthew, but they were too far away to hear clearly.
However, the discussions of colleagues around him were very clear.
"I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that in addition to standing on the podium and shouting slogans, there are also people who really do practical things."
"Matthew is much better than those celebrities who only shout slogans but don't do things."
"Matthew is responsible and responsible, this is a man!"
“The social responsibility of celebrities is important.”
Even the young reporter next to Ilena Poyal said, "I always feel that celebrities have a very strong social influence, so doing things that are meaningful to society can really drive many people to pay attention to social events."
Ilena Poyal knows Matthew better and knows that his purpose is not simple, but he also knows that this time Matthew will definitely help many people. Even if someone wants to hack him, he will shut up on this matter.
Now American society is moving in a direction that she can't understand. Matthew's aid supplies are sent to the black areas where wars are frequent in Africa.
"Matthew, I've contacted the peacekeeping force."
On a clearing in the dock area, the Supreme Commissioner of the United Nations Refugee Agency, Gutierrez, told Matthew, "They will send people to escort the materials to the destination, don't worry."
Matthew shook hands with the Portuguese and said, "Thank you."
"No, no..." Gutierrez quickly shook his head, "I should say thank you for it, you will help many refugees."
The two of them were kind enough to say a few words. Gutierrez quickly left the Port of Long Beach. As the top leader of the United Nations Refugee Agency, he was busy with affairs and it was not easy to take time to come here.
Amanda, who had short blonde hair, walked over, took off her sunglasses and looked at the freighter, and said to Matthew, "The shooting team you and Helen mentioned will set off in a week. They will meet with the material transport fleet in Africa, and then go deep into the refugee camp to interview the Africans who received the material on the spot."
Matthew nodded, "Remember to pay attention."
Amanda stood next to Matthew and said, "Don't worry, they are all war correspondents who often go to Africa." Speaking of this, she suddenly pointed to the media reporters who were stopped outside by security personnel, "Many people want to interview you."
"You'd better go, it's not appropriate for me." Matthew shook his head gently, "There are no ones who brag about themselves. It's better to brag for me."
Amanda had long been accustomed to Matthew's cheekyness and said, "I will let your good name spread all over the world."
When the two came this morning, they had enough communication. Matthew was indeed not suitable for this interview.
It was not until all the containers were shipped that Amanda asked the security personnel to put the reporter into the interview area designated in advance, and then faced the reporter's camera and microphone, and talked about Matthew.
"We know that any person or organization has limited capabilities, but Matthew told me that we should do our best to help those in urgent need."
Amanda, the former front desk, has long become an old fox after years of study and work. "Matthew has gone deep into the refugee camps in Africa and personally experienced the lives of refugees. That's why these two charitable foundations have been created and a series of charitable activities have been created."
She corrected her expression and announced, "Matthew also asked me to announce a news on his behalf, including the upcoming "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", one-third of his salary for each film will be donated to the charity foundation to help those in need."
There were many ideals and responsible people among the reporters. When Amanda announced the decision, he unconsciously applauded.
Reporter from TMZ and Warner also applauded, and other reporters were also motivated, and there was a lot of warm applause.
Amanda didn't plan to say anything more, so she turned around and walked towards the parking place. During the period, she turned around and turned around and turned her eyes and was excited, and she couldn't help but shook her head and shrugged.
This kind of charitable donation is to make a good reputation, but in fact...
She was actually very clear that Matthew made such a decision with mature considerations. The pay of Hollywood stars is all pre-tax pay, and charitable donations can be tax-free...
Even if Matthew does not donate it to his charitable foundation, most of the money must be handed over to the tax bureau safely.
But for most people, this is a real act of kindness.
After getting into Matthew's Mercedes-Benz Commercial Car, Amanda finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I feel like my acting skills can win the Golden Globes."
Matthew first asked the driver to drive, and then teased, "Why would you be the heroine in my next video?"
Amanda asked without answering, "Your next video? Have you chosen it?"
Matthew was not embarrassed either, "Not yet." He put away his joke and said seriously, "Don't keep all my pay donations."
"Don't worry," Amanda said lazily, leaning against the back of the chair, "I will donate part of your donation to charity and make the accounts about you beautifully."
Matthew looked out the window, "I always feel a little...well, a little indescribable."
"Cure?" Amanda asked tentatively, then shook his head, "How could you feel guilty? At most, it's a little uncomfortable."
Matthew thought seriously for a while and said, "Maybe it is." He looked at Amanda. A few years have passed, Amanda is as young and beautiful as before, "I always think you are still the front desk of the angel agency that has no scheming and no worries."
But Amanda said deliberately, "This is how to coax me? I was so dizzy when I was coaxed by your kind words and a nice face."
Matthew was not ashamed at all, "At least it means I'm really good-looking."
Amanda laughed, her laughter was crisp and refreshing, and simply pointed at Matthew and said, "I knew for a long time that your face is thicker than before."
"Because I'm more mature." Matthew pinched his face, old-fashioned. "One of the signs of maturity is that his skin is getting thicker and thicker."
Hearing this, Amanda unconsciously touched his face and emphasized, "I am mature, but my skin has not become thicker."
Matthew nodded and smiled, "Yes, you are the exception, the unique Amanda."
Amanda moved for a while to sit more comfortably, and then said, "Forget it, I admit it. Isn't this the society? How can I survive if I don't have a thick skin?"
She turned to ask, "Do you want to make a living in Hollywood and have to be thicker?"
Matthew pointed to his face, "It's not enough to just be thick-skinned."
Amanda asked curiously, "What else do you want?" She smiled, "In terms of your experience."
Matthew thought for a while, and did not hide his feelings in front of an old friend like Amanda. He slowly spoke, "I have a bold face and a bold heart and a bad heart and a bad heart... Well, that's about it."
"Good luck?" Amanda was puzzled.
"Well, this is the most important thing." Matthew nodded seriously, "For example, if I met you, you helped me get the male lead of Britney MV; if I met Helen, I might have made it without Helen's early operation, but it was definitely not as fast as it is now."
Some projects, he knew that they were once widely circulated, were useless because a newcomer with no resources could not win the male lead or other outstanding roles.
He can have today's situation, his own efforts, his explosive luck and his advantage over others' foresight, etc., all play a significant role.
Amanda tilted her head and looked at Matthew, and said strangely, "It turns out that you are lucky to meet me."
"Isn't that?" Matthew said the fact, "If you didn't help me, could I stand out from the many extras and clients of Angels and get into Helen's vision?"
