"Hi Amanda. ”

As soon as he entered the lobby of the angel agency, Matthew saw the receptionist at the front desk, and Amanda obviously knew him too, and greeted him warmly, "Hello, Matthew." Helen is waiting for you upstairs. ”

Instead of going upstairs, Matthew went over to talk to her for a while, then walked through the hall and up the stairs to the second floor, came to Helen Herman's office, knocked politely on the door, and waited for a crisp 'please come in' from inside, pushed the door and walked in.

"Sit casually, Matthew. ”

Helen Herman pointed to the single sofa in the office, and Matthew realized that Helen Herman was not the only one in the office, but also two middle-aged people in their forties, and six young people, one of whom he was familiar with, Michael Sheehan.

"The angel agency is also ready to sign a long-term contract with them?"

Matthew, though confused, didn't ask, and sat down on a single couch.

"Alright, now that we're all here, we can get started. Helen Herman then spoke, "Angel Agency is ready to sign a one-year actor agency contract with the seven of you, providing you with a full range of services and good job opportunities. ”

She picked up a stack of contracts, came out from behind her desk, handed them out to Matthew and Michael Sheehan one by one, then looked at the two middle-aged men and said, "This is Mr. Marshall Williams from the Screen Actors Guild and Mr. Bertus Clement, a union lawyer." ”

Matthew looked at the other people, Michael Sheehan, like him, was not a member of the Screen Actors Guild, and should have been one of those five people who joined the Screen Actors Guild.

"Some of you are not members of the union. Helen Herman continued, "But Marshall Williams can notarize the contract, and Mr. Berters-Clement can also guarantee the legal effect of the contract. ”

She returned to her desk, "If you have any questions, you can ask them both." ”

The two showed their entertainment lawyer certificates and the internal documents of the actors' union, respectively, to show Matthew and others that there was no problem with their identities.

Matthew has already looked through the contract, and after all this period of hard work, his reading level has improved significantly, and there are not many problems in reading such a contract.

He looked at it extremely carefully, carefully scrutinizing every sentence and every article, although there was nothing to deceive people like them, but at least they had to understand the contract.

Matthew carefully read the contract, confirmed that there was no problem, and happily signed his name on it, this brokerage contract lasted for one year, from the signing of the contract, he became the exclusive client of Angel Brokerage, and Helen Herman also became his exclusive agent.

This also means that Matthew can't just take on the job of another agency.

Those people also signed the contract one after another.

After signing the contract, the Screen Actors Guild representative named Marshall Williams took the contract backups of five other people except Matthew and Michael Sheehan, and left the office with lawyer Bertus Clement, and Matthew found out that those people were all members of the Screen Actors Guild.

"Let me tell you, there are a few things you should pay attention to. Helen Herman looked at Matthew and said, "First, from today onwards, you can't take jobs from other companies; second, I will recommend special acting training classes for you to study, at your own expense, if you have a better choice, you can ignore this; third, find a part-time job that is more suitable for the status of an actor, I may get a job opportunity for you at any time in the future; fourth, Matthew and Michael, when the conditions are right, join the actors' union as soon as possible." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, he didn't know what others thought, in his opinion, these suggestions of Helen Herman are all pertinent and conducive to the long-term development of an actor.

Helen Herman added, "Finally, people who don't have a cell phone go and buy a cell phone and keep it on twenty-four hours a day. ”

She waved her hand, "You can go." Matthew and Michael, remember to go to the finance room to pick up your role pay from the other day. ”

Matthew was a little surprised at first, but it felt normal to think of Helen Herman's relationship with Ridley Scott.

Out of Helen Herman's office, the other five people walked away one after another, leaving only Matthew and Michael Sheehan walking towards the finance room together.

It is clear that Angel Brokerage has added some more staff in addition to Helen Herman and Amanda.

Just like when he was at Starlight, Matthew's remuneration was deducted from the brokerage company's 10% commission, and due to the large amount, he and Michael Sheehan both left bank accounts, and the finance staff of the angel brokerage told them that the remuneration would definitely arrive today.

"I got a call from Amanda last night"

Walking towards the outside of the company together, Michael Sheehan said to Matthew, "It was really unexpected to inform me that I came over today to sign a long-term contract. ”

He was obviously in a good mood, "Probably your familiar method has worked." ”

Matthew shrugged slightly, "Perhaps." ”

The two walked out of the angel agency, and Michael Sheehan said, "This is the most important contract of my life!"

Matthew nodded slightly, and in some ways, he did.

"Let's work together!"

Suddenly, Michael Sheehan stopped, looked at Matthew, and said seriously, "Matthew, we're going to be big stars!"

"Hmm!" Matthew nodded emphatically.

Although there is a bit of a prejudice against Michael Sheehan in his heart, his goals are completely aligned with Michael Sheehan.

"Got time?" Michael Sheehan volunteered, "Let's find a place to have a drink and celebrate." ”

"Another day. Matthew still has something to do, so he can only decline, "I'm going to sign up for a language class at the Los Angeles School of Performing Arts in a moment." ”

It's almost May, and there is only a limited amount of time before the second tuition payment, but with the 8,000 dollars paid by the crew of "Gladiator", he has just signed the contract, and he decided to follow Helen Herman's advice and sign up for a language class to correct the so-called Texas accent.

"Los Angeles School of Performing Arts?" Michael Sheehan asked, surprised, "Are you sure you can get into Los Angeles School of Performing Arts?"

As far as he knows, Los Angeles performing arts schools need a relatively high barrier to entry, and it is difficult for young actors like them who are not large agencies to get in.

People like him don't even have to think about it.

Is such a school that Matthew can get into?

Just when Michael Sheehan was stunned, Matthew said casually, "I called them yesterday to consult, and those who enter the acting training class are free to sign up for other training courses. ”

The surprise on Michael Sheehan's face was even more obvious, "You entered the acting class at the Los Angeles School of the Performing Arts?"

"yes. Matthew nodded.

"It's ......," Michael Sheehan almost blurted out how it was possible.

Matthew took out his phone and looked at the time, "I've already paid the first tuition." ”

The surprise on Michael Sheehan's face gradually turned to envy, and the training class at the Los Angeles School of Performing Arts was advertised as a special session for the innovative entertainment agency and William Morris Endeavour agency, and entering it would not only allow you to meet some actors who might be very future, but also maybe be favored by the agents of these two companies......

How can Angel Entertainment Agency compare with Innovative Entertainment Agency and William Morris Endeavor Agency?

Matthew glanced at Michael Sheehan, frowned slightly, and simply said, "Mike, I'll go first if it's okay." ”

"Ah......" Michael Sheehan came back to his senses and nodded mechanically, "Okay." ”

Looking at Matthew's back as he turned away, the envy on his face instantly turned into jealousy, why was he always one step ahead of himself? Why did such a good resource always fall into the hands of him, a person who had just entered the industry?

"It's just the beginning...... the jealousy on Michael Sheehan's face slowly dissipated, "There is still a long way to go, and I will definitely get the company's best resources!"

A small company like Angel Brokerage must have limited resources to win from Hollywood, and there will be no one else to take it away.

"Wait until you make a name for yourself at Angel Brokers...... "Michael Sheehan decids what the way forward," he says, "and then he can make the jump to bigger companies." ”

When leaving Burbank and taking the bus to North Hollywood, Matthew kept thinking about today's situation, and Helen Herman obviously didn't put her treasure on a small actor, but adopted a strategy of casting a wide net.

He couldn't help but shake his head, he had a little fantasy before, such as the angel agency vigorously praising him, and now it seems that the brokerage company is not stupid.

This also made Matthew completely understand that even in this kind of small brokerage company, if you want to really get ahead, you have to fight all the way out.

"Competition. Matthew said to himself, "If you want to climb up, you have to compete, and no industry is no exception." ”

When he came to North Hollywood, he got off the bus and went directly to the Los Angeles School of Performing Arts, where he signed up for a language class that also started in May.

Now that the stock market is in full swing, coupled with the poor nature of the work, the Red Penguin Company has been facing a shortage of drivers, and Liszt asked Matthew to go to work that night, but for the time being, he is no longer in charge of the previous high-end business, and has replaced it with delivery party equipment.

This job is also at night, and Matthew has no complaints about leaving work early the next morning, after all, such a job where you can take time to sleep at night and have free time during the day is not easy to find.

For a long time to come, his life fell into a state of repetition, going to work at night, exercising and self-studying during the day, and never received a job.

With the arrival of May, the number of traditional film summer schedules in North America has begun, and Matthew's acting training class has also begun.
