Early in the morning, Matthew finished his breakfast and left the hotel. He found Emma Watson's figure among the waiting crowd.

"Ash, Emma?" He went over and said hello.

"Good morning, Matthew." Emma Watson waved to him with a smile and asked, "Why didn't you see you going to have breakfast?"

Matthew smiled, "I went for a morning run, and there were basically no one when I went to the restaurant."

Emma Watson looked around, with strange faces around him and said, "No one knows except you."

"Where is your agent?" Matthew asked.

"Go to the Palace of Nations to communicate and coordinate in advance." Emma Watson raised one hand and shook it in front of Matthew. "Did you see, my nervous hand tremble, I have never given a speech in front of more than a thousand people."

She asked, "I specially found your speech online last night when I was in South Africa. You performed well. Do you have any tricks?"

"Of course," Matthew leaned over to her and whispered, "After you come on stage, you just think you're making a movie on the set."

Emma Watson asked in confusion, “You mean…acting?”

Matthew's voice lowered, saying, "Hermione Granger just needs to treat those people as muggles."

Emma Watson nodded slightly, "I understand." She suddenly reminded Matthew, "I saw a colleague."

Matthew followed Emma Watson's gaze and happened to see Natalie Portman walking towards this side. The Harvard top student also saw him, but he was not embarrassed at all, just as if he saw an old friend.

"Matthew!" The surprise on Natalie Portman's face was very real, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Yes, Nat." Matthew smiled and opened his arms, "I didn't expect to meet friends here."

Natalie Portman saw that Matthew treated her no differently than in the past, and also opened his arms and hugged him gently.

The two exchanged a few simple greetings, and Matthew introduced Natalie Portman and Emma Watson to each other, "Nat, this is Emma Watson. Emma, ​​this is Natalie Portman."

The two women had just greeted him politely, and a bus drove over. The staff of the meeting organizer greeted the waiting people to get in. Matthew first asked Emma Watson and Natalie Portman to get in the car, and then followed.

After he got in the car, he found Emma Watson and Natalie Portman each occupied a row of seats.

"Matthew, here." Natalie Portman asked.

Emma Watson sat in the front row of Natalie Portman. Hearing Natalie Portman's words, he curled up one corner of his mouth and smiled at Matthew, and then blinked at him on purpose.

Matthew smiled slightly, walked directly to the row behind Emma Watson, and sat next to Natalie Portman.

Later, some participants got on the bus one after another.

The bus started and drove towards the Palace of Nations. Natalie Portman withdrew his gaze from the window and asked Matthew, "I remember you are the goodwill ambassador of UNHCR?"

"Yes." Matthew nodded, "I'm here this time, it's an invitation from UNHCR."

Natalie Portman lifted a strand of hair and put it behind his ears, and asked, "Are you going to give a speech on stage?"

Matthew smiled, "About the refugee issue." He then asked, "Where are you, Nat?"

"My speech is about environmental protection and human rights." Natalie Portman said with a smile.

Seeing the smile on her face, there was still the shadow of "This Killer Not Too Cold", Matthew suddenly thought of a sentence he had seen on the Internet: People who like Natalie Portman on the other side of the Pacific were actually poisoned by Matilda.

Thinking about it now, this seems to make sense.

"What are you thinking?" Natalie Portman saw Matthew staring at him.

"I suddenly thought of Matilda in "The Killer Leon." Matthew was very honest in front of Natalie Portman, "Your performance was shocking."

"I don't like that character!"

The words of praise were obviously off-the-spoken. Natalie Portman frowned into a horoscope and said directly, "So, before the age of 20, I rejected all characters with the 'loli' color. When choosing a role, my parents have also tried to protect me, hoping that I will not be disturbed by some 'black uncles'. I really don't want to be someone else's sexual fantasy object."

"Sorry." Matthew said sincerely.

Natalie Portman shook his head and smiled, "It's okay."

She looked very generous and didn't care about what Matthew had just said, and then said, "Actually, I like getting along with you very much?"

Matthew was slightly surprised, “Ah?”

But the following words made him realize that he was thinking wrong, and Natalie Portman said, "I only like being with the elite, which makes me feel easy to communicate with people."

"What kind of elite am I?" Matthew laughed at himself, "Is there an elite as vulgar as me?"

"You are!" Natalie Portman said seriously, "Matthew, you have your own world. You don't think you are excellent, you have no value, etc. That's because you have a long-term vision and your benchmark outsiders can't understand it."

Matthew was instantly a little fluttering when he said this. It was really fatal to say a smart woman when she said flattering words.

But he was a clear-headed person after all. Thinking of some things Helen Hermann reminded: Natalie Portman was very calm when facing him, but also had a hot fight with Brad Pitt, and even made Pitt operate her into one of the producers of "Cloud Map".

Some things are not something he thinks about, but they cannot be ignored. Natalie Portman is good at dancing, as if she has never done anything. She has to work closely with Brad Pitt and continue to make friends with him...

This is just a guess. Matthew cannot find the exact evidence because human hearts are the hardest to see through.

Of course, he did not contempt for Natalie Portman. This is the survival rule of Hollywood. An actress climbing up in Hollywood is much more difficult than a male actor. Most actresses may make similar choices when facing Natalie Portman's situation, but it is difficult to keep things as freely as she does.

Having said that, he and Natalie Portman were both good players, and no one was better than each other.

His thoughts on coming to Geneva this time were many times darker than those of Natalie Portman.

Since he had bad intentions, Matthew of course had to get along well with Natalie Portman and said deliberately, "Nate, do you want to know my impression of you?"

"I don't want to." Natalie Portman rolled his eyes like an old friend and said, "It's not Matilda yet."

Matthew raised one hand and said, "I declare that I am not poisoned by Matilda."

Natalie Portman frowned again, "Poisoned?"

When she frowned, her two eyebrows would turn into inverted characters, which looked particularly ugly.

Matthew didn't explain, and then said, "I think you are a very capable person. You must have saved the Milky Way by yourself in your previous life."

"What you said is too exaggerated." Natalie Portman was actually very happy to be praised by such an outstanding man.

"Nate, you are the real winner in life." Matthew was completely relaxed, just like chatting with good friends such as Helen Hermann or Amanda. "A person should have a good face and a prize... You have a Golden Globe Award, a famous university score, a culture, and a charity. Not as kitsch as a person like me. This is definitely a winner in life."

"Thank you, Matthew," said Natalie Portman with a smile. "No one has ever praised me like this."

She added, "I actually know that American audiences don't like me very much."

"Do whatever those people do." Matthew waved casually, "That's because you're better than most people."

Natalie Portman is certainly not excellent with Judy Foster as the standard of excellence; Natalie Portman is very excellent with Angelina Jolie as the standard of excellence.

In fact, Helen Hermann told him before that actors like Natalie Portman are destined to be the food of popular movie fans. In her words, Natalie Portman's team created an extreme public image for her, making her look unreal at all.

What popular movie fans like is more real stars, and this reality can be a kind of performance personality, just like Jessica Alba who likes to pretend to be stupid is much more popular among popular movie fans than Natalie Portman.

"By the way, Matthew." Natalie Portman seemed to be sincere, "There is something I always feel sorry for you, "Cloud Map"..."

Matthew raised his hand and interrupted her, "It's okay, Nat." He seemed a little casual and didn't care much, "The one who really made the decision was Wachowski, not you."

Natalie Portman nodded slightly, Matthew said without waiting for her to speak, "I am also sorry to lose the project "Cloud Map", it is very good! But I don't lack projects, work invitations piled on my agent's desk..."

Matthew gestured a very high gesture with an exaggerated look, "It's three feet high, but it's still two piles!"

Natalie Portman didn't say anything, but he could guess that this was similar to the real situation. How could a star like Matthew lack projects and roles?

"Originally, I was thinking of getting the "Cloud Map" project, and my work schedules in the next few years would have to be adjusted." Matthew said casually, "Actually, it's good now, so there's no need to be so troublesome."

He not only showed regrets about losing "Cloud Map", but also showed that this was not even a small blow to him.

"How many years have you been on your work schedule?" asked Natalie Portman.

"Yeah." Matthew nodded slightly and said casually, "Andrew Stanton from Disney is preparing to adapt "Princess Mars" into a movie and invite me to be the leading actor and producer. The production budget has reached 250 million US dollars. I want to work with him to invest in projects, and it will be a headache to think about it."

The bus stopped at this time, Matthew looked out of the window and said, "The Palace of Nations is here, let's get off."

Natalie Portman got off the car after Matthew and remembered the big project Matthew just mentioned. The number was too amazing and it was hard not to remember it.
Chapter completed!
