(Keep asking for recommendation votes!) ）

In August in California, it was the season of blazing sun, the bright sun hung in the sky, sprinkling thousands of rays of light, as if even the air was about to smoke, Matthew was sweating profusely, as if he was unconscious, and ran forward on two long legs, around a flat land.

Under the large parasol in the center of the field, Hawk Breton stood like a javelin and shouted, "Hold up your back, Matthew Horner!

Hearing this, Matthew immediately straightened his spine as he ran, even in the middle of running, like a javelin.

On the last day of the ten-day training, Matthew not only became more lean, but his body gradually straightened and straightened, and at first glance he looked a little like a soldier.

But that's just it, after all, ten days can't change much.

As usual, after the run, Matthew adjusted his posture and walking style under the guidance of Hawk Breton, a habit that was deeply ingrained and required more practice.

That's the rough outline of the training, and time is limited, and even an experienced veteran like Hawk Breton can't afford to stuff Matthew with too much stuff in one go.

In the final analysis, this is for the purpose of the audition, and everything is to make Matthew look naturally suitable for playing a tough military role when he auditions.

Matthew continued to practice in the field, and Helen Herman gradually approached from a distance.

She went straight to where Hawk Breton was standing, took off her visor and looked at Matthew, who was practicing seriously, and asked, "Is his training going well?"

Hawk Breton turned his head to Helen Herman and said, "Much better than I expected." ”

"Huh?" Helen Herman looked at him quizzically.

"There's so little time I can teach much. "But he's very serious and very hardworking, and he's a lot better than most of the recruits I've taught!"

Helen Herman never doubted Matthew's attitude, "What about the effect?"

Hawk Breton pointed to Matthew and said, "Let's put him in a bunch of ordinary people, people like me who have undergone professional training will definitely notice him and think that he is the most military person." ”

Helen Herman nodded, "That's enough. ”

The reason why she agreed with Matthew's proposal was because she learned from Eric Polk that Tom Hanks would personally participate in the audition for the role, and Tom Hanks had experienced more than two months of military training two years ago due to the filming of "Saving Private Ryan", and in some ways, he was far more familiar with the military than ordinary people.

In fact, this is also a risk, but she and Matthew do not have an advantage, and if they don't take the risk, the final result can only be disappointment.

As for the backup plan, Helen Herman wants it to be a backup forever.

"Alright, Matthew. Hawke-Breton looked at his watch and shouted, "Ten minutes off." ”

Matthew strode over, but his walking posture was obviously different from before, his waist was straight, and the whole person was like a cheetah ready to attack at any time.

Helen Herman took out a bottle of mineral water from the box on the ground and handed it to Matthew, only to find that Matthew's complexion was obviously darker, showing a slightly pale wheat color, and with a strong body, it set off a strong temperament that only men have.

She nodded in satisfaction, which undoubtedly added some weight to the upcoming auditions.

Matthew took the water, unscrewed the lid and poured a few large sips, and poured the rest directly on his head, which made him feel a little cooler.

The weather was hot and the training was tiring, but it was all within his reach, after all, it was nothing compared to the hard work he had done on the construction site.

Besides, once you become famous, those glamorous lives ......

These vulgar ideas, like a carrot, seduce Matthew to keep trying to move forward.

"Your phone is ringing. Helen Herman snapped up.

Matthew also heard the phone ringing, bent down and pulled out the phone from the box, it showed an unfamiliar number, he pressed the answer button, and just put it to his ear, he heard a formulaic sound.

"Hello, is this Mr. Matthew Horner?"

After only one sentence, Matthew was sure he hadn't heard the voice and replied, "I'm Matthew Horner." ”

"I'm a staff member of the Los Angeles District Court,......" the man briefly introduced himself, adding, "Mr. Matthew Horner, you are involved in a breach of contract lawsuit, and my colleague and I are going to serve you a subpoena, which you need to sign for in person. ”

Matthew instantly thought of a contract dispute with the crew of Taboo Tarot.

The man's words continued to ring from the receiver of the phone, "Where are we going to find you?"

With the passage of time and the fact that he did not receive a lawyer's letter for a long time, Matthew was lucky to think that the other party had given up, but he did not expect to actually go through the legal process.

"Wait a minute. Matthew covered the microphone because Hawk Brayton was there, and said vaguely to Helen Herman, "As for liquidated damages, the court wants me to sign the summons in person." ”

Helen Herman immediately understood what Matthew was talking about, turned to Hawk Breton and said, "That's all for training, Matthew and I have something to deal with temporarily." ”

Hawk Brayton wasn't stupid enough to hear what he meant, and said, "Okay, call me if you need to." ”

Matthew waved at him, "Goodbye, Hawke. I'll bill you the rest tomorrow. ”

Hawk-Breton smiled and nodded, turned and strode away.

In this short period of time, Helen Herman has already thought about the countermeasures and says, "Let them send them to the company." ”

"Hey, are you still there?" Matthew heard the response from there, gave an address, and said, "I'll be waiting for you at the angel agency in an hour." ”

With that, he hung up the phone and cursed, "These bastards!"

Helen Herman beckoned to him, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

Matthew followed her to the farmstead parking lot, where Helen Herman tossed him the car keys, "You drive, I'll handle the matter." ”

Getting into the driver's seat, Matthew started the car and drove out of the manor, and Helen Herman in the passenger seat had already made the call.

"Lawyer Wilson?" she said, with a somewhat familiar name for Matthew, "I have a breach of contract lawsuit on my side." Yes, it's the client I introduced to you a few months ago, and now the other party has gone through the legal process and is about to issue a summons, can you come over? Okay, I'll wait for you in the company. ”

Hanging up the phone, she dialed again, "Mr. Clint, I'm Helen, and I'd like to inquire about one of my clients' breaches of an acting contract." Yes, he's a member of the union, can the union help? Need the relevant materials? No problem, I'll pass it on to you tomorrow. ”

On the way back to Burbank, S.H. Len Herman made several phone calls in a row, and quite a few people were contacted.

Before arriving at the small building of the angel agency, Matthew parked the car and walked into the small building with Helen Herman, who got out of the car first.

"Is it troublesome?" asked Matthew.

To be honest, with an agent to help deal with it, he didn't have as much headache as before.

"It's not too much trouble. Helen Herman is still in the same style, "I'd rather give up on you if it's a lot of trouble." ”

Matthew understood what she meant, shrugged his shoulders, and didn't say anything.

In his cognition, this is a normal thing, after all, he is not a star, if the investment cost is high and completely disproportionate to the return, why should Helen Herman help him?

Just because she's his agent?

Matthew remembers that she also acted as an agent for dozens of other actors!

Entering Helen Herman's office, Matthew waited for a short time, and attorney Wilson arrived first, and it didn't take long for two Los Angeles District Court staff members to arrive, accompanied by lawyer Wilson, and Matthew personally signed and received the summons for the lawsuit.

Sending off the courthouse staff, Matthew carefully recounted the whole thing to Wilson's lawyer.

"It's the same thing I told you last time. Lawyer Wilson said directly, "You have breached the contract first, and the other party has sufficient evidence, the best way to deal with it is to reach an out-of-court settlement with them." ”

He returned the summons he had carefully read to Matthew, "I'm sure I'll cut the amount of liquidated damages by one-third to one-half." ”

The penalty is $50,000, or $25,000 even for one-half...... Matthew finally had a headache, and he hadn't saved any of the money he had earned recently.

He has always held the luck psychology that the little people should be ignored, and now it seems that this kind of psychology is really unacceptable.

"Good. Matthew said seriously, "Lawyer Wilson, I will entrust this matter to you." ”

"Let's talk about my charges first. Lawyer Wilson did not mince words, "I will help you cut down one-fifth of the amount as my payment." ”

Matthew didn't answer immediately, he didn't know much about the law of Lao Mei, especially the entertainment law, and turned to look at Helen Herman, who nodded at him and said, "Yes." ”

Attorney Wilson stood up, "I'll hold the other party back for a while and then apply for an out-of-court settlement." Mr. Horner, be mentally prepared that this could last a few months. ”

He said goodbye to Helen Herman, and then said to Matthew, "You take the time to come to my office these days, and we will sign a formal agency agreement. ”

Seeing Lawyer Wilson leave, Matthew sat on the single sofa with a sad look on his face, tens of thousands of dollars, he can't even take out a tenth of it now.

Matthew sat for a moment, thinking about the job he was about to fight for, and asked Helen Herman, "How much can I get paid for the role of Ronald Spears." ”

Helen Herman thought for a moment and said, "I estimate that it could be $5,000 to $6,000 per episode, and if the other side has a sufficient budget and I have more favorable factors in the negotiation, I may be able to get more than $8,000." ”

Hearing her say this, Matthew instantly came to his senses, even if Ronald Spears only has five episodes, the remuneration for the role is almost enough to pay off the liquidated damages.

Matthew has one more reason to win this role!
