"Did you read today's newspaper?"

In the office, Helen Herman saw Matthew sitting in the chair across from her and said, "Gladiator got more than $34 million in North America in its first weekend, which is great. ”

Matthew shrugged, "Does that help me?"

"A little. Helen Herman said honestly, "Not particularly big. ”

"Let's talk about the new job. "Matthew cares more about that.

Helen Herman changed the subject, "Hollywood has a lot of film projects every month, and most of them will recruit actors, and there are not a few roles suitable for you to play. She took out a document from the drawer and pushed it to Matthew, "This is what I asked the company to collect, both commercial and independent." ”

Matthew understood her subtext, "It's okay for you to be in these crews?"

"Most of them are not ......" Helen Herman frowned slightly, and then said solemnly, "Even if there is, it is impossible to use it casually, some people have used it once, and they do not exist, and they must stay at the critical moment." ”

Matthew is not a rookie who has just entered society and can understand Helen Herman's words.

Helen Herman added, "I'll try to get you a job as much as I can, but you also have to do your best in the process, including auditions." ”

It is impossible for her to solve every role with the relationship between her father back then, many Hollywood crews are indeed in a miasma, and there are various transactions, but in some crews, auditions and actor performances are also key factors in determining the ownership of roles.

"Let's talk about the next steps. Helen Herman stopped being verbose and said directly, "Among the crews that have recently recruited actors, I have prioritized three for you, namely DreamWorks' "Almost Famous", Universal Pictures' "The Mummy Returns" and "Fast and Furious". ”

Matthew hadn't heard of the first film, but the last two knew that the first two "Mummies" and the last few "Fast and Furious" had seen it, and I had the impression that the box office seemed to be very good, and they were all examples of commercial film success, especially "Fast and Furious 7", what was the name of the actor at that time, and the filmmaker used his death to publicize it, which was overwhelming.

DreamWorks' "Almost Famous", he has no impression.

If you can get the main characters in "The Mummy Returns" and "Fast and Furious", you will definitely be popular!

Seemingly aware of what Matthew was thinking, Helen Herman added, "It's impossible to get the main lead, we're going to fight for the main supporting role. ”

Seeing Matthew nodding, she said, "I studied the situation of these three crews, and according to the difficulty of getting the role and the development of your future, DreamWorks' "Almost Famous" is our priority. ”

This was a big surprise to Matthew, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why not 'The Mummy Returns' and 'Fast and Furious'?"

"The Mummy Returns is a sequel to the blockbuster movie The Mummy, and even a supporting role is highly competitive. Helen Herman has obviously researched, "Fast and Furious is a non-mainstream drag racing movie, and the supporting cast of such a film will not make your career much better, it is just an alternative." ”

She explained, "'Almost Famous' was supposed to be filmed last year, but it has been delayed due to financial problems, and DreamWorks hopes that the film will make it in time for the next awards season, dedicate a lot of resources and raise $60 million for filming, this film involves band and rock, and it is more likely to attract attention in the industry." ”

Helen Herman coughed under his breath, "The producer of this film is DreamWorks, and according to Eric Pock's feedback, your dedication and diligence in the crew of "Band of Brothers" have been unanimously recognized by the production team, which is conducive to your participation in the audition for "Near Fame"!"

"Besides!" she pointed to Matthew's flaws, "You also need a role to hone your acting skills, I don't ask you how good your acting skills are, but it must not be too bad!"

"What about ...... "Matthew still doesn't give up," "What about 'The Mummy Returns' and 'Fast and Furious'?"

"I've prepared three points of information for you, and in addition to the crew of "Almost Famous", I will also deliver to the crew of "Return of the Mummy" and "Fast and Furious". Helen Herman is also not opposed to Matthew's participation in these films, after all, it is also an opportunity for a character actor like him, "If you can pass the audition of the three crews and the schedule does not conflict, you can also participate in the filming of these two films." ”

She held up a finger, "However, from now on, you have to prioritize preparing for the audition for the role of "Almost Famous", a supporting actor in this film is the role we are most likely to get, and my job will also be on negotiating with this crew, and the other two crews will only submit your information." ”

Matthew knows very well that Helen Herman has never been a talkative person, and saying so much is just to tell him that the supporting actor in "Almost Famous" has the best chance of getting it.

The other two crews look great, but Matthew knows that if the roles can't be handled, these two films are not as valuable to him as "Soul Shifting Girl".

Now only the crew picks his share, how can he pick the crew's share.

"The role you're going to audition for......" Helen Herman raised her hand and pointed at the materials in front of Matthew, "It's all in there, go back and have a good look." ”

The two talked about work for a while, and Matthew picked up the information provided by Helen Herman and said, "Is there anything else? ”

"Don't go yet. Helen Herman lifted her black-rimmed glasses, "I've asked someone to collect information about "Almost Famous" and the characters, and I'll be back in the afternoon, you wait for him to come back and get the information before leaving." ”

The phone rang, and she picked it up and said, "Okay, I got it." ”

Helen Herman put down the phone and said to Matthew, "Your last $20,000 paycheck has arrived, go to the finance and sign it." ”

Matthew picked up the information, left Helen Herman's office, went to the finance room on the same floor, and after signing it, asked the finance to directly intercept the agent's $2,000 commission and the $10,000 liquidated damages paid to the crew of "Taboo Tarot", and put the remaining $8,000 into the account.

It was only ten o'clock in the morning, Matthew did not sit in the company and wait, he simply took the car to the second-hand car market, he was lucky, the second-hand Ford car that day was still there, and bargained with the boss, and finally won the white Ford for 4,500 US dollars.

He has been an apprentice car repairer for a while, and he has a certain understanding of cars, and although this second-hand Ford model is a little older, it is generally not bad and worth the money.

After completing the formalities and finding a place to have lunch, Matthew drove his first car back to the angel brokerage company, browsed the Internet news in the lounge, the Internet was full of news of the stock market crash, countless bankruptcies, and many people jumped off buildings, it seemed that the United States was experiencing a huge economic disaster.

He doesn't understand the stock market, and he doesn't know anything about indices and other things, so he is watching the excitement, but after reading it, he is also a little frightened, and the risk of stocks is too high.

Matthew shook his head, closed the web page, and went to watch the entertainment news, which is now the hot spot of the entertainment news is undoubtedly the divorce battle between Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, where the once loving couple attacked each other and seemed to have turned into enemies.

"This is Hollywood......" he sighed.

According to his understanding, a long-term marriage is simply a luxury in Hollywood, and the love of most Hollywood stars always comes and goes quickly.

Matthew didn't think much about it, he had no experience in this area, he only knew one truth - cherish the present!

As for the future, who can say for sure what the future holds?

After casually flipping through the news for a while, Matthew remembered his previous plan, and went to register a blog, and just as he was about to write something, someone came to inform him that the person who collected the information was back.

Matthew got a thick stack of documents, said hello to Helen Herman, drove back to Westwood, and when he returned to the apartment, he immediately opened the documents that Helen Herman had given him.

At the top of this material is the situation and character introduction of the crew of "Almost Famous", which highlights a supporting actor named Russell Hammond, that is, the role that Matthew needs to fight for.

Below the profile for "Near Fame" is the material for "The Mummy Returns", and below is "Fast and Furious" and a few other small items.

From the order in which the materials are placed, it can also be seen that Helen Herman is prioritized.

Matthew already trusts Helen Herman quite a bit in business, and first picked up the material from "Almost Famous" and then looked through it carefully.

This is a film about a rock band and a tour, which is not in the specific content information, only stating that the character of Russell Hammond, whom Matthew is fighting for, is the band's guitarist, while being entangled with the band's male lead singer and female assistant.

In other words, it's a bi-sexuality-sex character.

According to the mainstream aesthetics of Hollywood, playing such a role does require a certain amount of acting skills.

In addition, the information also states that the crew has confirmed two actors, namely Kate Hudson who plays the heroine and Jason Lee who plays the lead singer of the band.

Helen Herman also personally used a pen to mark underneath Kate Hudson, the daughter of veteran Hollywood actress Goldie Han.

After looking at the information and thinking for a while, Matthew felt that this kind of role was really difficult for him.

Subsequently, he put this information aside and took out the information of "The Mummy Returns", which is the same as "Gladiator", this is a project invested by Universal Pictures, the Mummy series is a monster movie brand founded by Universal Pictures for many years, and the predecessor of "The Mummy Returns" "The Mummy" can be said to be a reboot, and after the great success, this sequel will naturally appear.

For the two "Mummies", Matthew was somewhat impressed, and he was also curious about which supporting role Helen Herman wanted him to compete for.
