Best Movie Star

On an ordinary Saturday morning in early May, a large number of people gathered in front of the Boyarion Convention and Exhibition Center in Los Angeles. In front of two different passages, a large number of ordinary Los Angeles citizens and media reporters were waiting to enter the venue, and many people gathered around. Or pull up banners, or hold up posters, seemingly in response to the event being held.

Not far from the Boyarion Convention and Exhibition Center, a group of X-Men fans are also engaged in activities, but the momentum is far from here, even if "Wolverine" has just been released this weekend.

ABC TV reporter Robert Barnes stood in the queue of media reporters and looked around. Due to the large number of reporters in the queue, the entry speed was too slow, so he raised his camera from time to time to take pictures.

The team of ordinary citizens nearby, the huge poster above the exhibition center, and even the team of peers, are the objects captured by his camera.

Not far away, a live broadcast truck of ABC TV's entertainment channel is still transmitting real-time pictures to thousands of households.

Robert Barnes is well aware that at the request of Disney, ABC's parent company, a OB van recently followed Matthew Horner around the clock.

The camera lens in his hand swept through the gathered crowd, and the slogans supporting women and children were particularly prominent, and it also made people know at a glance that it was a public welfare activity.

After shooting for a while, Robert Barnes finally approached the entrance of the Boyarion Exhibition Center with the team, and looked up at the huge poster above.

"We are on the same planet as African refugees."

He picked up his camera and photographed the poster again.

Afterwards, Robert Barnes entered the exhibition center with the team of media reporters, and then led by a staff member to a large exhibition area, where many photos were displayed, and the photos were all black-skinned without exception. Old men, children, and women, all scrawny and malnourished.

It looks really pathetic.

At this time, the big screen in the exhibition hall lit up, and a figure appeared on the screen. Robert Barnes only glanced at it and recognized that it was the famous Matthew Horner, the organizer of this charity exhibition. .

Of course he knew the event was co-organized by the Matthew Horner Charitable Foundation and the Matthew Horner Foundation for Women and Children, as well as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

With the participation of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, this event naturally has a high profile.

"In today's society, the economy is developing faster and faster, more and more places are getting rich, and the people are living a good life. However, in some areas, affected by wars and natural disasters, many people still live very hard. , let's take a look at the characters in the African refugee camps."

Listening to Matthew Horner's introduction on the big screen, Robert Barnes stopped and looked intently at the picture playing on the big screen.

Black figures flashed across the screen in succession, accompanied by a voiceover by Matthew Horner.

"Due to the lack of food, there is not enough food source every day, and many children live in hunger all year round. This is a group of children who eat a little food."

Robert Barnes' eyes widened involuntarily. The dirty, gray and lumpy things among those black children are food? Is there anything more disgusting than this? It's really tragic.

The food was full of dust and dirt, but the group of black kids ate with ease, as if they were sharing a rare delicacy.

Seeing this, something in Robert Barnes's heart was touched. He is a father and has two children. If his children live this kind of life, what should he do?

The picture flashed on the big screen, a black mother was sitting on the muddy ground to breastfeed, and there was a four- or five-year-old child next to her, hungry and crying.

Matthew Horner's voiceover sounded again, "A mother is breastfeeding, and there is no food filling, so her milk is deficient, but the child is hungry, and the older child next to him has not eaten for a long time... …”

Robert Barnes felt heartbroken, his eyes drifted across the faces of the people around him, most of them looked solemn, and many teenage children opened their mouths in surprise, as if they couldn't believe that there was such a horrible thing in the world. things are happening.

But the picture on the big screen didn't stop there. A group of boys with thin ribs clearly visible, which can only be described as skinny, appeared in a long queue.

"This is a group of refugee children who are queuing up to get food. Although they only get a drop in the bucket in the end, they also have to rely on this little relief to support themselves. Be more concerned about these refugees, and everyone will have a better life. right."

At this point, the video on the big screen begins to loop. Robert Barnes no longer looks at the big screen, but goes around the exhibition hall to see those photos. The photos are shocking. Living in a city like Los Angeles is really unimaginable. People there should live like that.

Exactly how to live.

Robert Barnes held up his camera and kept taking pictures, which should be seen by more people.

There was a lot of discussion among the people around, and although there was no shortage of voices of criticism, the vast majority of them stood in a sympathetic position.

After two laps in this showroom, Robert Barnes went on to the next showroom, which had a similar layout to the previous one, but with many more photo walls of apparently non-professional photos, all of them African children .

In addition, there is also a big screen in the exhibition hall, but the person who appears on the big screen is no longer Matthew Horner, but Paul Walker. After he introduced the living conditions of some African children, he also explained in a voiceover situation. made a video.

The first character in this video, a scrawny black child, made everyone on the scene cover their mouths subconsciously. People with intensive phobias would never dare to watch it again.

Robert Barnes listened to Paul Walker's narration and only felt sad.

"How could a little boy be so thin? He was so thin that he could clearly count his ribs. How could the little boy be covered with mosquitoes and flies? Why didn't he drive away these insects himself? It was because hunger had made him unable to wave his hands to drive them away. These insects, or because he is used to crawling with insects? Or because he has lost the desire to drive them away? Perhaps, these are the companions who accompanied him through his childhood without innocence and coquetry. He has become accustomed to their existence. ."

The footage in the video made people tremble, and one couldn't help but wonder if the scrawny little boy would be swallowed up by insects.

Robert - Barnes almost trembling to leave this exhibition hall, into the next exhibition hall.

He has never been to Africa, and he has heard about some situations in Africa from news reports and from colleagues who travel to Africa, but those are like heaven compared to what he sees today.

If there is **** in this world, these people live in hell.

They deserve more help! Deserves to live better than now!

With this idea in mind, Robert Barnes stood in a new exhibition hall, and then looked at the exhibition halls one by one.

Soon, he found one thing, the people on the big screen in each showroom were different, there were Hollywood stars such as Matthew Horner, Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster, as well as Gal Gadot, Daniel - Wu and relative strangers like Justin Lin.

Isn't this the main creative lineup of "Fast and Furious 4"?

It's not just him who thinks this way, everyone around is talking about it, and most people recognize these as the "Fast and Furious 4" actors.

As a reporter, Robert Barnes quickly realized that the film "Fast and Furious 4" was also using this opportunity to promote marketing.

But it was difficult for him to feel disgusted, because from the beginning to the end of the event, there was no mention of "Fast and Furious 4" anywhere, but it was reminiscent of this film.

Besides, it should also be mentioned that "Fast and Furious 4", unconditional good deeds in this world often last for a few days, and conditional good deeds can be more long-term and lasting.

Matthew Horner is going to donate all the profits from "Fast and Furious 4", and no one is allowed to mention the name of the movie?

There are so many saints in this world.

Walking near the exit of the exhibition hall, Robert Barnes saw a huge fundraising box, but no one forced donations, those who were willing to donate donated freely, and those who were unwilling to donate just left at any time.

Moreover, the staff also left the donor's phone number or other contact information~www.readwn.com~, saying that they will be informed of the whereabouts of the donation in time.

Inspired by the photos and videos in the exhibition hall, there were many people donating money, and there were long queues at the eight donation places. Robert Barnes also lined up in the queue, leaving five hundred dollars before leaving the exhibition hall.

"Amanda..."

On the second floor of the Boyarion Convention and Exhibition Center, Matthew looked at the flow of people at the exit through the glass window, and said, "This money is donated completely in accordance with the law, and all operations must comply with the regulations."

Amanda stroked her short blond hair lightly with one hand and said, "I know, you can rest assured."

Matthew nodded lightly, this kind of large-scale campaign, and public welfare activities with a publicity and marketing nature, the accounts must be clear.

This is a promotional campaign carefully planned by him and Amanda to promote "Fast and Furious 4" and his own image. The purpose of this event is to remind the public that you have gone to see "Fast and Furious 4", you are helping Suffering African people, you are helping women and children, you have a great spirit of internationalism, you are not a racist, you are a great person who supports racial equality, please applaud for yourself...

Many times, some subtle psychology can directly affect people's choice of watching movies.

As Matthew and Amanda continued to run the "We are on One Earth with African Refugees" charity campaign, a Latino man, who can be seen everywhere in Los Angeles, knocked on the door of a very ordinary apartment building in Los Angeles. into a room.

"How is it?" asked a bald head in the room, "Are you sure?"

The plain-looking Latino man said, "We guessed right, the bodyguard is on vacation."

The bald head touched his head, "We have waited for so long, and finally we have the opportunity."
