Chapter II Fifty thousand dollars

Sitting on the chair in a daze, more memories appeared in Matthew's head, which also made him confirm that what this crew was going to shoot was a love and romantic action movie!

What's more, the previous one was not only informed and voluntary, but also signed a formal contract!

As for why, for the money, of course!

Also, the agent fooled him, saying that this is a road to Hollywood, a back door to Hollywood movies!

Matthew couldn't help but roll his eyes, even he, who doesn't know about Lao Mei, knows that after making this kind of film, how can he be a Hollywood star again? I'm afraid that he is not unclear, but his eyes are covered by money!

The previous one who came to Los Angeles for a few months, had a very bad time, wanted to be an actor and didn't even find a background board role, less money and poor people have short ambitions, plus the agent I met was messy and flickering, he was very material on the outside and even more material on the inside, he was like many young people, his head was hot, and he embarked on this road of no return!

No, it should be ready to go up, isn't this that the shooting hasn't started yet?

Thinking of this, Matthew can be regarded as relieved, if this kind of film is really filmed and then widely distributed, where will there be face to face in the future?

For a person like him who has no culture and no skills, being an actor may be a way out, but being an actor like this is definitely a dead end!

Matthew would rather be smashed into the street with a hammer again than appear in such a film!

After confirming this and looking at his body wearing only a pair of big pants, Matthew looked in the dressing room, combined with the memory in his head, quickly turned out his clothes and changed them without hesitation.

This is a somewhat old denim suit, and it is white after washing, but this dress is worn on his body, Matthew feels at ease, and when he changed clothes, he also found out a little, why did the agent fool the guy before.

Because his conditions are really good, he is tall and strong, has a sunny and tough appearance, and has a dream of being a star......

Knock! knock......

There was a sharp knock on the door again, and the same voice that I had heard before came through the door again, "Matthew, what are you doing?"

The voice seemed to be a little angry, "I didn't say it, come out in fifteen minutes, and now ......"

Matthew walked over, opened the door, and glanced at the bald white man with glasses outside, and the relevant information immediately appeared in his mind, this is the agent Morris who fooled people.

“@##!”

Seeing Matthew wearing the clothes he had come, the bald head named Morris first cursed something that began with F, then came in and closed the door, glared and said, "What are you doing?"

"I'm quitting!" Matthew said bluntly.

Morris's eyes widened, as if he couldn't understand Matthew, "What are you talking about, don't use your damn Texas hillbilly accent!"

Matthew blurted out a sentence that even sounded awkward to himself, and then he couldn't help but cough in a low voice twice, and after a brief adjustment, he said, "I...... I...... Say...... I quit. ”

Obviously, he needed to get used to American English.

"You're quit?" Morris just thought Matthew was joking, "Don't be verbose, hurry up and change your clothes, the whole crew is waiting for you." ”

"I said......" Matthew adjusted again, feeling that he could speak more smoothly, and changed to a very serious tone, "I'm not doing it!

Morris looked up at Matthew's face to confirm that it was true, and his eyes instantly turned cold, "Are you crazy? This is not your driver's job, you can quit if you say it! You have a contract with the crew, if you break the contract, ......"

His voice turned cold, "I want to accompany a lot of money!"

"I don't have any money!" Matthew had already checked, and there were only a few dozen dollars in his wallet in his pocket.

"Then stop talking nonsense, stop messing around!" Morris's words gradually softened, "You can get 8,000 US dollars for this contract! Your conditions are so good, you will definitely become a big star and make a lot of money! It is not a problem to get 50,000 US dollars, or even 100,000 US dollars for a film in the future!"

As an agent who seduces young people by cheating, Morris knows very well how to impress these young people, "With money, you don't have to be a driver anymore, you can do whatever you want, and now the opportunity is in front of you, if you miss such an opportunity, there will be no more!"

His eyes downward, "Not everyone can have a good opportunity like yours. A big hand landed on Matthew's shoulder and patted him, "Don't waste your talent!"

Being stared at with such eyes, Matthew's hair was upside down all over his body, and at the same time, he sighed in his heart, fortunately, the previous one had not done anything irreparable......

"Do you know how powerful this crew is?" Morris is obviously a hot old guy, "the number one shareholder of the company that belongs to the crew is General Electric! They can deal with people like you as easily as crushing an ant." ”

When the stick ran out, Morris threw out another sweet date, "When you came in, I introduced you to Jessica, do you think she's beautiful?"

Matthew knew he was talking about the blonde woman, and nodded unconsciously.

Morris suddenly changed to a weird tone, "Jessica is a recognized beauty in the industry!"

He patted Matthew on the shoulder again, "Money and beauty are right in front of you, don't you want it?"

"I ...... I ......"

As a person who has worked hard for twenty years, the temptation of money and beautiful women is not insignificant to Matthew, and he swallowed his saliva, "Of course I want to!"

Hearing this, Morris laughed, how many of these poor boys from the countryside could refuse this kind of temptation? The guys who were abducted by him in the past were not without repentance on the spot, but under the coercion and temptation, they all gave in.

Of course, this will not be an exception.

Morris opened the door with his hand, turned his head to look, and looked through the room, just in time to see the tall Jessica, he didn't believe that this hairy boy who was less than twenty years old could bear it!

Then, he keenly caught Matthew's eyes drifting out of the door.

Seeing Matthew's appearance, Morris decided that he was back in control, and began to wonder in his heart, this guy is so disobedient, and when the freshness of the audience passes, will he push him into the ......

A person who has been poor for twenty years, and even eating has become a problem for a time, the temptation of money and beautiful women is unimaginable.

Matthew's blood rushed straight to his head, and the impulsive hormones in his body seemed to want him to nod his head, but after all, he was not a hairy boy who had just come into contact with society, and he had been at the bottom of the society for so many years, where would he not know that behind the temptation of fame and fortune, he might have to pay a painful price for a lifetime.

Little by little, he pulled his gaze back from the blonde woman, his eyes becoming more determined.

Morris didn't notice the changes, thinking that everything was under control, and was about to reach out and pat Matthew on the shoulder.

"Matthew, follow me, you will become a big star, make a lot of money, drive the best car ......"

The hand he had slapped out had stopped in mid-air, and the shoulder had moved to the side, and the owner of the shoulder seemed to be very unwelcoming of the hand.

Morris's eyes widened instantly, and before he could say anything, Matthew preemptively said, "I like money, and I like beautiful women." ”

He smiled slightly, and his tone shifted, "But not in this way. ”

"What?" Morris's eyes widened, "what did you say?"

"I mean it simply!" Matthew pointed to his chest, "I'm quitting!"

"You ......"

Morris stretched out a finger and pointed at Matthew, who suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Lao Tzu is gone!"

The sound spread throughout the studio, and countless people turned their heads to look, and the middle-aged director with glasses walked directly over.

"What's going on?" the director asked as he came in.

"I'm quitting. Matthew preemptively said, "You guys should be smarter." ”

"What do you want to do?"

The director, who is also the producer of the crew, immediately looked at Morris, Morris shook his head, indicating that it had nothing to do with him, but the face under the bald head was so angry that it was about to twist, and the director pointed at Matthew and said to him, "Get him." ”

"Do you know the consequences of breach of contract?" Morris's face darkened completely, "You have to accompany a large amount of liquidated damages! You have to compensate ten times the price for the costumes, props and condoms customized by the crew for you! Also, you think you can easily get out of ......"

Matthew interrupted him suddenly, "You don't have to scare me, I don't have anything, I'm a poor bastard with nothing." ”

He grabbed the phone out of his pocket and shook it in front of Morris, "As long as I press it, the police will be called, I remember this is the downtown area of Los Angeles, right?

"Hmph!" Morris snorted, it's not the seventies or eighties, some things can't be messed around, this is a sensitive industry, maybe it will cause a lot of trouble.

The director and producer suddenly said, "It's okay if you don't do it, five times the liquidated damages of your film contract, and I will ask the company's legal counsel to claim $50,000 from you!"

Temporary substitutions are common in this industry, and even when an actor suddenly quits and can't find a suitable person, he, the director, will go on the stage to participate in the role, although this young man is very talented, he is even more unwilling to waste precious time.

"I'll ask the company's legal counsel to claim this money from you!" The director and producer said lightly, as if Matthew's repentance on the spot was just a trivial matter, turned around and walked outside, and before going out, he threw a sentence at Morris, "Find someone more reliable next time!"

The director left, and Matthew shrugged at Morris, "Goodbye." ”

After that, he was ready to leave directly.

"Get fifty thousand dollars ready! The company always does what it says!" Morris stopped in front of him, "Boy, I'll bankrupt you and come back to me!"

"Whatever. Matthew is now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and walked around Morris and said, "Los Angeles is so big, you can cover the sky with one hand?"
