"It's only been two years. Inside the restaurant, Rachel McAdams looked at Matthew across from her and said, "You've changed so much." ”
Matthew smiled and replied, "Aren't you getting more handsome?"
"Mature......" Rachel McAdams thought for a moment and added, "and you have something very special about you that makes people feel different, and that's probably the aura." ”
The two had just had lunch, but they didn't leave, and they chatted here.
"When did you come back?" asked Matthew.
Rachel McAdams picked up the glass of water and said before drinking, "It's been half a month, and I just thought of your old friend as soon as I rented a house and stabilized." ”
Matthew guessed based on the previous situation, "In North Hollywood?"
"Hmm. Rachel McAdams pointed behind Matthew, "Closer to Burbank to the east." ”
"That's a coincidence. Matthew also pointed behind him, "I live in a neighborhood west of Burbank near North Hollywood. ”
Rachel McAdams laughed out of a dimple, "We should be a short distance away and have time to visit me." ”
Matthew nodded and replied casually, "Okay." ”
"Look at the newspaper ......reports," Rachel McAdams seemed curious, "You're working on Disney's annual blockbuster, Pirates of the Caribbean?"
The media had already reported on it, and Matthew replied, "yes, I'm going to the Caribbean next week." ”
Rachel McAdams didn't hide it either, saying, "I really envy you for getting such a good resource." ”
Matthew is habitually modest, "I'm just lucky, and my agent is well-connected." ”
Rachel McAdams said, "If you don't have the ability and you can't get the role, Disney can't take a risk with this kind of project." ”
Matthew changed the subject, "What about you?
"I got in touch before I came. Rachel McAdams is clearly prepared to come back this time, "I also participated in a Disney film, but in it was only a small passerby. ”
"Take your time. Matthew saw that Rachel McAdams was a little lost and comforted, "There's always a chance." ”
Rachel McAdams shrugged slightly, "Well, there's no other way. She sighed, "I'm not a key client of the broker either, so I can't get better resources." ”
Speaking of which, Rachel McAdams looked at Matthew with an uncertain look in her eyes.
Matthew doesn't know what to say, you can't say you come to Angel Agency, Helen Herman I think of a way or something, right?
The resources of the angel agency are now focused on him alone, and if Rachel McAdams had come to the angel agency, there would have been a direct conflict of interest between the two, and it would never have been possible to sit and chat together as easily as they do now.
Seeing that Matthew didn't answer his words, Rachel McAdams didn't dwell on the topic anymore and said, "It's said that the scenery of the Caribbean Sea is very good. ”
Matthew answered this time, "It's just that the weather is not very good, and there are often strong winds." ”
The two chatted for another half an hour, and Matthew looked at the time and said, "Rachel, let's stop here today, I'm going to go to the gym and train in a while." ”
"Hmm. Rachel McAdams nodded.
Matthew paid the bill, and the two went out of the restaurant, and Rachel McAdams said, "You can take me to the door of the acting school, and I'll pick up the bike." ”
The car didn't fit the bike, and Matthew was not polite enough to drop Rachel McAdams to the acting school.
Rachel McAdams unbuckled her seatbelt, pushed open the door and was about to get out of the car, only to suddenly turn around.
"Anything else, Rachel?" asked Matthew.
Rachel McAdams hesitated for a moment, but then said, "Matthew, you have access to more of the crew and script now, if ......" she said with earnestness on her face, "I mean, if you can come across the right opportunity, can you recommend me? ”
The relationship between the two was very good when they were in acting school, and although they hadn't seen each other for two years, Matthew still remembered, thought about it and said, "I really met a role that suited you, and I could speak, I will." ”
Having said that, he knows very well that such opportunities are simply too few, after all, he is just a little star.
Rachel McAdams got out of the car, and Matthew saw her walk into the acting school, and then drove away, on the way to Westwood, thinking back to this meeting with Rachel McAdams, I always felt that it was not quite the same as Rachel McAdams two years ago.
But when you think about it, two years is enough time to change many people and many things.
Coming to the fitness club, Matthew went directly to the second floor, Nie Bora was not there, the coach who taught free fighting was doing nothing, the club was mainly for high-end customers, plus today was a working day, and only two or three people were doing basic movement exercises.
Matthew went to change his clothes and do a good warm-up, and an assistant coach wearing full protective gear came over and acted as a temporary target for him.
After practicing for about ten minutes, someone outside the venue suddenly called out to him.
"Matthew!" Neborah's voice came, "Stop!"
Taking off his gloves and wiping his sweat, Matthew looked over at the voice, where Nebora was waving at him, and next to him stood a rather stocky young man with a briefcase.
He had met this person not long ago, the rich second generation, Fox Sherman.
Out of the training ground, Matthew first went to the rest area to get a towel to wipe the sweat on his body, and then walked over.
"Hi Matthew. Fox Sherman took the initiative to greet him, "We meet again." ”
Matthew nodded at him and responded politely, "Hello, Fawkes." ”
"Fox has something to do with you, and you don't have contact information. Nebora said simply, "I've come to the gym to look for you several times. ”
Nebora was very clear, and left directly after the introduction, obviously not wanting to get involved in the affair between Fox Sherman and Matthew.
This is a very normal situation, Matthew didn't care, Fox Sherman waited for Nebora to leave, and then said to him, "Let's go to the first floor lounge area for a while?"
"Yes. "Matthew didn't know what he wanted to do.
The two went downstairs and came to the specially set up leisure and entertainment area on the first floor, there are not many people in the club today, and there is no one here.
"Would you like something to drink?" Fox Sherman asked after sitting down
Matthew shook his head, "No need. He got straight to the point and asked, "Fox, are you looking for me?"
"Nothing serious. Fox Sherman, who doesn't look very old but very sophisticated, said with a smile, "I heard that you got the lead actor in Disney Studios' super-production "Pirates of the Caribbean", and I want to congratulate you." ”
Hearing Fox Sherman say this, Matthew immediately said politely, "Thank you." ”
He didn't say much, Fox Sherman came here, definitely not specifically to say congratulations, he would continue to talk about something himself.
Fox Sherman looked at Matthew and said, "Do you have any new work plans after Pirates of the Caribbean?"
Matthew shook his head slightly, "No, I want to focus on the shooting of this film, and I don't want to be distracted." ”
"After this film. Fox Sherman added, "Wouldn't it be better if you could go on and get into a new job?"
"I didn't have time to audition. Matthew gradually guessed Fox Sherman's intentions, "and didn't have time to do enough preparations." ”
Fox Sherman waved his hand, "None of this matters. He opened his briefcase, took out a script from it, pushed it in front of Matthew, and said, "You should have heard Niebora mention, I came to Los Angeles this time to invest in the film industry, I reached a cooperation agreement with Lakeview Pictures, and I will invest in an action movie produced by them, and now the heroine and some supporting roles have been determined, and there is still a lack of a leading actor ......"
He smiled and looked at Matthew, waiting for Matthew to take the initiative to speak, but Matthew didn't say anything, waiting for Fox Sherman to say it himself.
Matthew had seen Lakeview Pictures, a mid-sized Hollywood production company based in Beverly Hills, known for producing independent films and B-grade films, including "Boomers" and "The Runaway Bride."
The fact that Fox Sherman can invest in the work of such a company at least shows that he has considerable financial resources.
Seeing that Matthew still didn't speak, Fox Sherman had no choice but to continue, "Most of the actors and positions in the crew are already in place, and there is currently a lack of a leading actor! Matthew, I know you have to concentrate on filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", so you don't need to audition, and you don't need to make special preparations for the role, the crew is currently preparing, and when the preparation is over, your role in "Pirates of the Caribbean" should also be filmed......"
He said it very beautifully, looking like he attaches great importance to Matthew, "Even if you can't finish filming, it doesn't matter, the crew can wait for you, and when you're done, they will shoot scenes related to the male lead." ”
Matthew spoke slowly, "Sounds good." He asked Fox Sherman, "The question is, can you do it?"
"Of course!" Fox-Sherman swore assuringly, "I'm the biggest investor in this project, the producer is directly responsible for me and Lakeview Pictures, and I'm the biggest financier." ”
He deliberately lowered his voice, "To be honest, it's too late for Lakeview Pictures and the crew to be happy to invite a well-known actor like you." ”
In fact, when Fox Sherman said these words, Matthew kept thinking about it.
People like him, if a pie falls from the sky, he will definitely not go over and pick it up directly, he will first see if there is a trap behind the pie, there are so many actors in Hollywood, why did Fox Sherman find him? They know each other, but this is not the reason.
After turning his head twice, Matthew figured out that he was the leading actor of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and with Jerry Bruckheimer's past achievements, the probability of success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was very high, and he became even more popular as the actor, and then ......
