After the audition, after removing the makeup and changing back into his clothes, Matthew left the Disney studio with Helen Herman, and they both knew that the crew would not be able to give notice until Will Turner's makeup audition was over, but fortunately they didn't have to wait too long.

"I just got a message. ”

Helen Herman was not idle, and on the way back, she said to Matthew, "Jeffrey Rush accepted the invitation of the crew and is likely to play the villain Captain Barbossa." ”

Matthew saw the name on the tape he got from David Astor, "Is it the Oscar winner from previous years?"

"The 1997 Oscar. Helen Herman simply said, "Hollywood is a famous acting school. ”

"Oh......" Matthew just nodded, he wasn't familiar with the man, "It doesn't matter who his villain is, all I care about right now is whether I can get the role of Will Turner." ”

Helen Herman thought about it, and it was also the same reason, if Matthew couldn't get Will Turner, an Oscar winner joined, would it compress his salary space, there was no point in discussing it at all.

These will wait for the audition to be confirmed.

"Do you have a suitable candidate, assistant?" said Helen Herman again, "do you want me to recruit one for you?"

Matthew shook his head, "No need. "He's certainly not going to let his personal assistant come from the agent's side as well," I'm in contact. ”

There is a more suitable candidate in this regard, Mira Wang, who served him on the crew of "The Mummy Returns" and "The Scorpion King", Matthew called her, but she has temporarily returned to the UK and is not sure if she will come back to Los Angeles.

He wants to wait for the time being, there is no news on the audition, and when he is sure that he can get the role, if Mira Wang is interested in returning to Los Angeles to develop, he can talk to her, and if he doesn't come back, he can find another way to find a reliable candidate.

As a last resort, Matthew will not let his personal assistant become an agent.

He has no higher education, but he knows the basic truth that the heart of defense is indispensable, his lawyer comes from Helen Herman's introduction, the stylist is also recommended by Helen Herman, if the personal assistant is also close to Helen Herman, it is conceivable that Helen Herman will know everything about his every move.

This is not to say that he wants to target Helen Herman, but the most basic prevention, as far as he knows, it is not uncommon for agents to join forces with the assistant of the star to pit the star in Hollywood.

In addition to personal assistants and accountants who help with taxes and finances, Matthew also doesn't plan to let Helen Herman intervene, and even replace the stylist if there is a more suitable candidate.

That stylist is not just for him, a complete personal stylist is still too luxurious for him.

Back at Angel Agency, Circus didn't immediately change cars and leave, and followed Helen Herman to her office, where he had something to ask her.

"Helen. Matthew took a glass of water for himself and asked, "I heard that a merchant has sent me an endorsement offer?"

"That's right. Helen Herman opened the drawer, took out some invitations, and threw them on the table, "These are very low-end brands, do you want to shoot endorsement ads for brands like KFC and McDonald's? This is seriously inconsistent with my positioning of you, and if you go further, it will become a drag down your style." ”

Matthew picked it up and flipped through it, it is indeed like Helen Herman said, most of them are low-end chain fast food brands in North America, or some inexplicable brands, among which there are things similar to Indian god oils, could it be that the tabloid hype last month brought about his amazing male masculinity?

He is not a rookie now, and he knows that few celebrities in the rising stage are willing to endorse this low-level, or junk food chain brand.

"Then push it all. Matthew is past the stage where he desperately needs money to maintain the most basic life, "I don't want to take it anyway." ”

This is also for higher income considerations in the long run.

In my impression, those chain fast food restaurants are constantly scandalous, and they really should come down, and they won't make much money, but they will become his pig teammates on the way forward.

Helen Herman casually threw the invitations back into the drawer and said directly to Matthew, "There is a brand endorsement that suits you, and I will notify you." She thought for a while and said, "Although you are only a third-tier star, it is very difficult for Hollywood stars to receive endorsements from the top brands, but you must be cautious when receiving endorsements." ”

Matthew ignored the other words and asked, "I'm still a third-tier star?"

"What do you think?" Helen Herman said directly, "In addition to one "Scorpion King", do you have any other movies in which you have played the leading role? "Scorpion King" is 100 million US dollars in North America and 200 million US dollars worldwide, which is really good, strictly speaking, you are now in the upper position of the third line, and you have touched the threshold of the second line, but you need another successful work to prove that you have the appeal of the second line. ”

She reminded Matthew again, "After "Scorpion King" goes offline, will the media still pay attention to you?"

"Nope. Matthew spread his hands, "The paparazzi haven't been following me for a long time." ”

"This just shows that you don't have enough attraction to the media, which is an important channel for star-making. ”

"If you can get Will Turner. Matthew drank the water from his glass, pulled out a chair and sat across from Helen Herman, and asked, "Pirates of the Caribbean is a success again, I can always squeeze into the second line." ”

Helen Herman nodded, "There is absolutely no problem, if your character is very brilliant and can explode a billion dollars at the global box office, you can go straight to the first line." ”

Matthew thinks about his acting skills, and then thinks about Johnny Depp's weird guy, even if he can get Will Turner, can he suppress Captain Jack Sparrow? Don't think about acting skills, although Johnny Depp is not known for his excellent acting skills, but the crazy and non-mainstream Captain Jack Sparrow is simply tailor-made for him.

In terms of acting, he will definitely not be able to compete with Johnny Depp.

Thinking of this, Matthew suddenly smiled, the audition has not yet been confirmed, and it is a bit too early to think about this now.

He thought about it for a moment and asked Helen Herman, "What about Super A? How did you become a top superstar in Hollywood?"

Helen Herman didn't think about it and said directly, "You go and look through the resumes of Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts." ”

Matthew shrugged his shoulders, looked up at the wall clock, stood up and said, "If nothing else, I'll go first." ”

Leaving the angel agency, Matthew drove home directly, because there was an audition today, many routine activities were canceled, and the fitness club had already said hello.

Completely different from a little over a month ago, he drove back to his home, followed by no paparazzi or reporters, as Helen Herman said, after "The Scorpion King" was released, he himself was not particularly attractive to media reporters.

After all, this is Los Angeles, and there are so many stars.

Matthew knew very well that he needed to cement his current position with a successful film next, and to go one step further, Pirates of the Caribbean was arguably the best chance to do so.

In my impression, this series has been a great success, and it has been filmed many times in a row, as if Johnny Depp has been praised from a non-mainstream to a top Hollywood superstar, not only famous all over the world, but also counted the money and had cramps.

This series is simply a money-printing machine for several protagonists, as long as he can get the role of Will Turner, the future is undoubtedly guaranteed, even if the development does not go smoothly in the future, you can rely on this series to eat the old book, and the estimated income is also quite good.

There is a saying in Hollywood that if you want to make money, you have to act in a sequel.

Lying crookedly on the sofa, looking at the scorpion king's sword hanging on the wall, Matthew no longer thought about these things, the makeup audition was over, and now he could only wait patiently for the result.

He believes his performance will impress Jerry Bruckheimer.

Captain Jack Sparrow is a sissy, and her style is not feminine, to be more feminine to be exact, Orlando Bloom's temperament also happens to be feminine, and the two characters can easily create a peculiar homogenization situation.

Even if it is not an actor like him, even a veteran fan can roughly imagine that the situation of the two male protagonists is far less brilliant than one soft, one strong, one literary and one martial.

Matthew's self-perception analysis is quite reasonable, and in the past three years, his understanding of the profession of actor and the film industry has undoubtedly deepened a lot.

The waiting time was quite long, and the cast director said that he would reply this week, but by Friday, Matthew had not received a reply from them, even with Matthew's heart, he was a little anxious, and Helen Herman also asked about the relationship, and the answer given by the other party was that Jerry Bruckheimer had not made a decision.

In the situation where Jude Law voluntarily withdrew from the audition and Tobey Maguire went through the motions, Matthew felt that something was not good, and that unknown Christopher Masterson would not be the final winner, would he?

In this case, wouldn't Orlando Bloom and Stephen Sommers, who he had so hard facilitated, hook up with someone else?

Fortunately, the worst didn't happen, and at nearly four o'clock on Friday afternoon, Matthew received a call from the cast director himself, and the call was only one thing, he passed the audition and successfully won the role of Will Turner!

Ma Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief, only feeling that there was security in the future, but a guarantee of living a chic and nourishing life.

Of course, he won't be unmotivated.

Later, Matthew received a call from Helen Herman, who will be negotiating his actor contract with "Pirates of the Caribbean" starting next Monday.
