"Philip, this is Matthew."
In the reception room of Horner Manor, Helen Herman solemnly introduced a tall middle-aged white man with eyes to Matthew, "Matthew, this is Mr. Philippe Grande, Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Deputy Commissioner."
Hearing the latter sentence, Matthew immediately stretched out his right hand, shook hands with the middle-aged man enthusiastically, and said neither humble nor arrogant, "Hello, Mr. Grande, it's nice to meet you."
Helen Herman told him yesterday that the person who came to visit this time is related to the United Nations Charity Ambassador whom the Angel Agency has been seeking for him.
"Hello, Mr. Horner." The middle-aged white man named Philip Grande looked rather polite, "I've seen many of the films you starred in, which are impressive."
Matthew said thank you and asked Philippe Grande and Helen Herman to take a seat.
Facing the UNHCR official, Matthew behaved very well.
After the three were seated, the maid immediately brought coffee. After the maid left, Matthew just had a few polite words with Philip Grande, and Philip Grande turned to the topic.
"I'm here uninvited this time, and I'm expressing my gratitude to you on behalf of refugees in Africa." Philippe Grande said quite politely and officially, "Thank you and Miss Charlize Theron for African refugees. $1.5 million to UNHCR."
Matthew said, "I have been paying attention to the situation in Africa, and I also want to help people in Africa whose homes have been destroyed by war. Anyone with a conscience who has seen what happened there will make the same choice as me."
After he and Charles Theron sold the exclusive media coverage of the engagement ceremony to TMZ, they donated $1.5 million to the charitable foundation under the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, which is dedicated to helping refugees in Africa.
This is mainly to follow the wishes of Charlize Theron, who is African and has a special feeling for Africa.
Helen Herman interjected at the right time, "Matthew is very concerned about the situation of refugees. He has specially inquired about the situation of African refugees many times, and has donated money to African refugees more than once."
Whether it's Hollywood or politics, talking nonsense with your eyes wide open is the most basic ability.
Philip Grande nodded earnestly, as if to believe that everything Helen Herman said was true.
"The main purpose of UNHCR is to protect the rights and health of refugees." Helen-Hellman continued to fly, "Mr. Grande, you have been working hard to ensure that everyone has the right to seek asylum in another country, to find a safe Shelter and voluntary repatriation, but also seeking a permanent solution to their plight.”
Philippe Grande said, "This is the purpose of UNHCR." He said solemnly, "We have been working to eradicate the refugee problem completely."
Hearing what he said, Matthew spoke again, "I also hope to contribute to such a great cause."
"Mr. Grande..." Helen-Hellman didn't go around in circles this time, and said directly, "Matthew, like you, is very concerned about the refugee issue and wants to do some practical work for refugees, if we cooperate with each other. , it will definitely help more people, and let the refugee issue attract more people's attention around the world."
Matthew has communicated with Helen Herman before,
At this time, he said, "I plan to set up two charitable foundations in the near future, one to help refugees traumatized by war, and the other to provide better living and education guarantees for children in refugees."
When it comes to acting, that's his profession, and Matthew's face is heavy, "No one is born a refugee, and refugees are the consequences of war."
Helen Herman glanced at Matthew. From what she knew, Matthew didn't care whether the African refugees were dead or alive, but now it seems that Matthew's acting has improved quite a lot.
It sounded and looked as if the African refugees were his family.
Philippe Grande agreed with Matthew's words, "Mr Horner, you are very accurate, no one is born a refugee."
"Every day, thousands of families are torn apart by war," Matthew said beautifully. "They may be forced to leave their loved ones, or they may be separated in the chaos of war."
He strengthened his tone, "Children suffer the most."
"The refugee crisis is a global problem." Philippe Grande nodded in agreement, "It needs everyone's cooperation."
Matthew said sadly again, "If it weren't for war, no one is a natural refugee, and all refugees should be respected and sympathetic."
I don't know why, when he said this, he suddenly thought of Optimus Prime, if there really are Transformers in the world, Brother Zhuzi is definitely a very strange existence, he would rather his own group suffer, but also let the uncle of the alien race. They get the best enjoyment.
Helen Herman interjected again, "All capable people can work together to solve this worldwide problem, and Matthew is willing to contribute to this."
Matthew said solemnly, "I will try my best to help those in need."
Philippe Grande smiled and said, "UNHCR has been working to unite the forces of society, and I would personally welcome Mr Horner to join us."
He did not directly state that the position of the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador is not the only choice for Matthew, nor is he alone in the decision.
Matthew naturally knows this as well. He has a direct competitor on the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, Angelina Jolie, who has adopted many orphans.
But he couldn't say anything directly. If he said directly about Angelina Jolie in front of Philip Grande, it would only have the opposite effect.
So, he continued to talk about African refugees later.
When filming "Black Hawk Down", Matthew had been to Morocco in Africa, and he had also seen some black people who had fled to Morocco because of the war. Although he didn't feel anything at all, he talked to Philippe Grande about this topic, but he didn't. It also seems to have a certain knowledge, rather than just selling lip service.
Overall, Matthew's meeting with Philippe Grande, the UNHCR official, was always held in a serious, serious and friendly atmosphere.
About forty minutes later, Philip Grande offered to leave, and Matthew sent him to the fountain square of the manor. Helen Herman and Philip Grande got into the car and left.
Matthew knew very well that Helen Herman would take care of the things he was inconvenient to say and couldn't do.
"Mr. Grande..."
In the leaving car, Helen Herman asked directly, "What do you think of Matthew?"
Philippe Grande thought for a few seconds and said, "It's very good, healthy and sunny, and very caring." He seemed to know what Helen Herman wanted to say, and said, "Personally, Ma Xiu is the best choice for a goodwill ambassador, but Miss Herman, I am only a deputy commissioner and have no absolute right to speak. Some people at UNHCR prefer Angelina Jolie. She has adopted many war orphans in recent years. , which is her strength."
Helen Herman knows that Matthew is incomparable in this regard. If Matthew is asked to adopt orphans all over the world, it is estimated that he would rather give up the title of goodwill ambassador.
"I know." Helen Herman took out a small file bag from her briefcase and handed it to Philip Grande. "These estimates can change a lot of people's minds."
Although there was a wealthy businessman in New York who made connections and had many contacts with Helen Herman, Philippe Grande did not immediately take the file bag, but asked with a hint of vigilance, "What is this?"
Knowing what he was worried about, Helen Herman explained, "Some stuff about Angelina Jolie." She said simply, "Jolie's drug use, homosexuality, scandal with her own brother, now the wind commentary. Very bad, all the media mentions about her are negative news, if UNHCR asks her to be a goodwill ambassador..."
She shook her head and said nothing further.
Philippe Grande took the file bag, opened it, and put it away, saying, "I won't let UNHCR become a laughing stock of public opinion."
If what Helen Herman said was true, and had to choose between Angelina Jolie and Matthew Horner, most people at UNHCR would choose Matthew Horner.
Helen Herman added, "Angelina Jolie is still hiding from the media, and it's very telling."
Philippe Grande nodded slightly. He occasionally pays attention to entertainment news and knows that what Helen Herman said is true.
After saying this, Helen Herman changed the subject and started chatting with Philip Grande about Amanda's father. It was through Amanda's relationship that she contacted Philip Grande, the refugee agency. officials.
Originally, her target for Matthew's plan was the ambassador of the United Nations Charity Children's Fund, but in the past two years, the Iraq War and regional conflicts in Africa have been raging, tens of millions of people have been displaced, and she was able to connect with UNHCR officials. relationship, easier to operate, and finally chose the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.
The only thing that surprised her was that Angelina Jolie, who was eager to whiten herself, was also running this goodwill ambassador.
If Angelina Jolie gets this goodwill ambassador, and two more excellent works come out, it is estimated that it will not be difficult to clean up.
Unfortunately, for the benefit of her side, Angelina Jolie should not wash the blame and continue to carry the blame with Brad Pitt.
Anyway, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt encountered the current bad situation, and it was also planned by her and Matthew, so that these two people will continue to be bad, and there will be no psychological burden. ) !!
