That night, Matthew received a call from Dennis Coulter, and the fat man's agent asked him to go to Starlight Company for an interview the next day, and by the way, he received his remuneration from the crew of "Soul Shifter", he got off work in the morning, handed over the work, and immediately rushed to Starlight Company, and after meeting Dennis Coulter, he went to the finance to receive his remuneration first.

Since he was personally present, the cashier of Starlight Company paid directly in cash, deducting 10 percent of the brokerage commission, Matthew got 180 dollars.

There is not much money, but he racked his brains and tried his best to earn it.

"Let's talk to my office. "Warm invitation from Dennis Coulter.

Matthew thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's fine." ”

Now that the salary has been paid, it's time to draw a line with this very tasteless agent, who knows that he is also a very tasteless person, but not to the extent of Dennis Kurt.

Following Dennis Coulter, Matthew entered an office and took a look at it, about five or six agents working together, but fortunately, the office was relatively large and didn't look particularly crowded.

Coming to an empty desk, Dennis Kurtra brought in a chair and beckoned Matthew, "Sit down." ”

When Matthew sat down, he asked again, "Coffee?"

"Water is fine. Matthew said casually.

Dennis Kurt went to the water cooler to help Matthew get water, Matthew thought it would be better to terminate the cooperation tactfully, and just as he was thinking about the wording, a young man sitting across the desk suddenly stuck his head out, "You're Matthew Horner?"

Matthew Horner was stunned, and said in his heart Am I famous?, and nodded, "I am." ”

The young man turned his head to look at Dennis Coulter, who was still receiving water, and said in a low voice, "Change the agent, Dennis Coulter has a bad reputation in the company and has a bad character, and when you have no use value, he will kick you away!"

"Really?" Matthew sighed, secretly sighing that the agency was not at ease, and pulled out a smile, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome. The young man quickly gave Matthew a business card, "If you can't find a suitable agent for the time being, you can call me, I know a lot of producers and casting directors." ”

Matthew casually put away his business card and said nothing, and the young man turned his head to look at it, retracted his head and went back to work as if nothing had happened.

Dennis Coulter walked back with two glasses of water, placed one in front of Matthew, pulled over the chair and sat down.

"I have a question. Dennis Kurt asked curiously, "Matthew, how did you get this role?"

Matthew picked up his glass and said before drinking, "Someone helped me convince Winona Ryder." ”

Hearing him say this, Dennis Coulter felt more and more that his previous guess was reasonable, and said with a happy smile, "It's better to do this, Matthew, let's sign a long-term contract between the two of us." ”

After getting to know Dennis Coulter, Matthew went to check the information to prevent being victimized by this fat man, and also had a preliminary understanding of some Hollywood contracts, such as the contract between the actor and the agent.

In order to protect the interests of actors, California has enacted very strict laws, the "California Talent Act" stipulates that if an actor formally signs a contract with an agent or economic company, the maximum contract period for the first time is one year, and the maximum time limit for each subsequent contract shall not exceed three years.

In other words, the actor is not satisfied with the economic company, and it is not difficult to replace it.

In some ways, this also limits the power of brokerage firms, allowing them to essentially exist only as service providers.

Matthew was thinking about these things and didn't answer Dennis Coulter's words for a while.

"I will inform the company next week to draw up a professional contract. Dennis Coulter thought he had acquiesced, and cracked his mouth and laughed, "It's not a rush beforehand......

He laughed so hard that his facial features were almost gone, "Matthew, can you ask Mr. Georgia Caycandis out for dinner?"

"Huh?" it immediately dawned on Matthew that the so-called long contract was just a decoy.

"Why don't you make a phone call. Dennis Coulter said tentatively, "Ask Mr. Cackendis when he has time?"

Matthew remembered that when he was on the cast of "Soul Shifter" before, Dennis Kurt had asked him if he was related to Georgia Kaycandis, and he neither admitted nor denied it at the time.

This guy who is bent on camping and only has interests in his eyes is obviously misunderstood.

"I'll talk about that later. Matthew was about to get to the point of today's visit, "I won't please him either." ”

He glanced across and saw that the young man seemed to be eavesdropping.

Dennis Kurt was a little impatient, thinking Matthew was deliberately shirking, and asked, "Don't you know Mr. Georgia Caycandis?"

"yes, I know. ”

This fat man is more purposeful than he does, and Matthew is too lazy to pull it off, "Mr. Georgia Caycandis is the producer of the crew of "Soul Shifter." ”

"You just need to introduce ......"

Before Dennis Kurt could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Matthew, "The problem is, he doesn't know me!"

"What?" Dennis Coulter didn't seem to hear Matthew.

"I know Georgia Kaycandis. ”

This so-called acquaintance is just knowing the identity of the other party, Matthew shrugged his shoulders and said again, "Georgia Kaykendis doesn't know me!"

Dennis Kurthoe stood up, held out a finger, and pointed at Matthew, "You! you...... How dare you lie to me!"

"Lying to you?" Matthew also stood up, "When did I say Georgia Kaykendis knew me?"

"Uh......" Dennis Coulter recalled, stunned.

"Hah...... Haha......"

There was laughter across the desk, and the young man looked up at Dennis Kurt and laughed, "This is your chance to brag about ......it?"

Dennis Kurt glared at the young man with a grim face, then turned back to look at Matthew, "Don't you want me to get you any more jobs!"

"It doesn't matter. Matthew shrugged, "Actually, I'm here to tell you that we're not going to work together anymore." ”

He sighed, turned around and prepared to leave, and before leaving, he said, "I still want to say thank you to you, you have made me realize the difficulty of this profession, and you have also made me understand that people are sinister. ”

After saying that, Matthew left the office without looking back.

Dennis Kurt stood there stunned, like he was stupid.

"That's what you call a simple-minded fool. The young man finally seized the opportunity to get angry in his heart, "Dennis, you're the fool, aren't you?"

Everyone else in the office looked over with a hint of sympathy in their eyes, but more of disdain.

An agent was turned around by a small pro, and saying it made his peers laugh out of their teeth.

With one hundred and eighty dollars in his hand, Matthew walked out of the office building where Starlight's company was located, and for some reason, he suddenly felt much better, and he saw everything Dennis Coulter did, and it must be fake to say that he didn't hate it.

"Maybe the moment I agreed to let him into the office...... "Matthew knew he wasn't a noble man," and subconsciously wanted to make him deflated. ”

Ending the cooperation with Dennis Coulter and Starlight, the next most important thing is to find a suitable agency, Matthew contacted three before, and now there is nothing to do, just go over and have a look.

Matthew then went to North Hollywood, two of which were located near Laurel Valley Boulevard, and the two companies were similar to Starlight, but they were not very large, with less than ten agents, and they were mainly acting for casters and young actors.

Although someone received him, everything was normal, just like Starlight Company, Matthew left his identity information, photos, resume and contact information, even if the filing was completed, the only difference was that in the resume column, he specifically noted that he had played a role with lines in the crew of "Soul Shifter".

When he returned the filled form, Matthew saw that the receptionist had drawn a circle with a red pen on the line he had specially noted.

He filed cases with both agencies and took a bus to Burbank, where the third company he contacted was in the world's media capital.

As soon as he arrived in Burbank, Matthew's cell phone rang, an unfamiliar number.

"Is there a job so soon?"

The red circle deliberately drawn on the table made Matthew a little more fanciful and answered the phone immediately.

"Hello, Mr. Matthew Horner! I'm Attorney Chris Walker. ”

A somewhat familiar voice came from the phone, "I urge you to pay the liquidated damages of the Forbidden Tarot crew as soon as possible, otherwise we will take legal measures!"

Hearing this, Matthew's fantasy immediately came to naught, and he muttered in his heart, "What a ghost!"

But then again, it was he who broke the contract.

Matthew had no money now, so he could only adopt the strategy of procrastination, he pinched his throat and said in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?

Then, he hung up the phone and turned it off.

As for the legal means mentioned by the other party, when they adopt it, it's a big deal to fight a lawsuit, I remember that in the movies I watched, Lao Mei's lawsuits were stinky and long.

Maybe you'll have money by then.

With this in mind, Matthew walked quickly all the way to find the location of the angel agency that had called, an independent three-story office building, two trucks parked at the door of the small building, and workers removed desks and chairs from the cars and transported them to the building.

Matthew followed the workers into the small building, which appeared to be a new company.
