"Hi Anna, it's been a long time. ”

In a restaurant, Amanda, who had short ear-length hair, hurriedly walked up to Alexandra Daddario and stretched out her arms, Alexandra Daddario hugged her hard, and said, "It's been a long time." ”

The two hugged each other tightly and seemed to have a very good relationship.

Matthew stood beside him and waited for them to separate before he said, "Anna, Amanda, let's order first, I'm hungry." ”

Amanda turned her head to look at Matthew and said, "I'll order you ten of the best steaks in a minute!"

Matthew first helped Alexandra D'Addario pull out the chair, and when she sat down, he pulled out the chair for Amanda, and then sat down opposite the two girls and beckoned the waiter.

The three of them each ordered some of their favorite dishes, and Matthew asked, "How long have you two known each other?"

Alexandra Daddario nodded and said, "Seven or eight years." ”

"Not true. Amanda continued, "The first time I saw you was in 1995, more than ten years ago. ”

Alexandra Daddario looked at Amanda quizzically and asked, "It's been so long?"

"Hmm. Amanda replied, "When I first met you, you were still in elementary school. ”

Matthew interjected, "You two are old friends. ”

Alexandra Daddario reached out and grabbed Amanda's arm, "We're not just friends, we're good sisters. ”

"So, Matthew. Amanda was one of Matthew's earliest friends, and she was not polite to Matthew, and said directly, "If you can help, try to help Anna." ”

"No problem. Matthew said with a smile, "I may not be able to speak as the heroine of a big project, but if there is a second or third supporting actress, I can still recommend it to the crew." ”

"Thank you. Alexandra Daddario smiled at Matthew and said to Amanda, "This audition opportunity was also won for me by Matthew." ”

Amanda stroked her ear-length blonde hair and said to Alexandra D'Addario, "I also said hello to Helen over there, there is a suitable opportunity, she will definitely prioritize you." ”

Alexandra Daddario nodded again, she had been in two crews before, and knew that there were people in this circle and one person who broke in, completely different situations.

At this time, the waiter delivered the dishes ordered by the three people one after another, and since Matthew and Amanda were both driving, they did not ask for wine.

The three of them are not rigid people who pay attention to eating and not talking, and they talk while eating.

Matthew took the initiative to ask, "Anna, Amanda, how did you two meet?"

"I remember it was at a family gathering. Alexandra Daddario gave a look of reminiscence, "Amanda was in charge of taking care of me at the time. ”

Amanda swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Anna was a very introverted and shy little girl at that time. ”

Matthew picked up his glass and said, "I propose, a toast to your friendship." ”

Alexandra Daddario was the first to pick up the glass and touched it with Matthew, and Amanda then picked up the glass and said, "Cheers to our friendship." ”

Amanda is a friend of Matthew, and the friendship between the two was established long before Matthew was penniless, and as for Alexandra Daddario, Matthew looked at her and didn't say much, clinking glasses with the two girls lightly and saying, "Cheers!"

Alexandra Daddario put down her glass of water and asked curiously, "Matthew, Amanda, how did you become friends?"

Matthew said to Amanda, "Say it anyway." ”

Amanda nodded and said, "After I graduated from high school, I worked for a while at Helen's company, when Angel Agency was just set up and was recruiting extras for all of Hollywood. She pointed at Matthew, "And then this guy came to the company to apply, and I knew him." ”

Matthew added, "Amanda helped me a lot back then, and if it wasn't for her, there were some roles that I wouldn't have gotten at all. ”

"Not necessarily, right?" Amanda deliberately squeezed her eyes at Matthew, "You're amazing, not an ordinary person." ”

Matthew laughed and said, "Nothing can escape your eyes." ”

Amanda shrugged, "If you don't even know your boss, I'm too unqualified as an employee." ”

Listening to Matthew and Amanda, Alexandra Daddario couldn't interject at all, she looked at Matthew first, and then at Amanda, feeling that there was a tacit understanding between the two that she didn't understand.

Especially the owner and the staff, which made her very curious.

Alexandra D'Addario couldn't help but ask, "You two, how are you bosses and employees?"

Amanda pointed at Matthew again, "He's my boss now." Puzzled by Alexandra D'Addario, she simply explained, "I'm helping Matthew set up a refugee foundation and a children's charitable foundation. ”

"I see. Alexandra Daddario thought about it and looked at Matthew, "I remember, you're now a Goodwill Ambassador for the UNHCR. ”

Matthew nodded in acknowledgement, and then took the initiative to say, "On the 25th of next month, I will hold the inaugural dinner of the charitable foundation in a private club in Santa Monica. Anna, do you have time?"

Amanda's feet under the table lightly touched Alexandra Daddario, who immediately said, "There's time." ”

Matthew sent out an invitation, "Can you come and attend?"

Alexandra D'Addario is not stupid, and this time without waiting for Amanda to remind her, she said, "Okay, I'll be there on time." ”

Matthew looked at Amanda and said, "Remember to send Anna an official invitation." ”

Amanda nodded slightly, "I wrote it down." ”

She worked as a receptionist for an angel agency for a while and knows the importance of networking in Hollywood circles.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Matthew looked at his watch and said, "I have something to do in the afternoon, so I'm going to go first." ”

"Didn't the crew of "Three Hundred Spartans" have your role to shoot today?" Amanda asked.

Matthew beckoned to the waiter to pay the bill, and then said to Amanda and Alexandra Daddario, "In the afternoon, I made an appointment with Aziwa Gosman, the producer of the crew of "I Am Legend", and had a meeting with the producers, writers and directors of the crew to get acquainted with it. ”

He smiled at Alexandra D'Addario, "I'll talk to Aziva Gosman about Anna's audition by the way." ”

Alexandra Daddario also smiled at Matthew, and Amanda waved her hand directly, "Go ahead, I'll talk to Anna for a while." ”

She saw the waiter coming over, and said, "You go, I'll invite you for this meal." ”

Matthew was not polite to Amanda either, and left the restaurant directly, driving his Mercedes-Benz Big G to Warner Studios.

Entering the studio, changing to a four-wheeled battery car, he personally drove to the studio closer to the Warner Studio, parked the car and asked the staff at the door, and soon walked into the temporary office of the studio.

Although five minutes ahead of the scheduled time, producers Aziva Gossman and David Heyman, and director Francis Lawrence were already waiting in the office when Matthew entered the office.

The main screenwriter of "I Am Legend" is Aziva Gosman himself, and the rest of the screenwriters are the kind of screenwriters hired by the outside without authorship.

Matthew is an acquaintance of Aziva Gosman, and he also knows David Heyman, the only one he hasn't seen is director Francis Lawrence.

"Let me introduce you to you. "Aziva Gossman offered to introduce Matthew and Francis Lawrence to each other," Matthew, this is directed by Francis Lawrence. Francis, this is Matthew Horner. ”

Matthew looked across the side, it was a blonde white man in his early thirties, definitely a young man among directors.

"Hello, Director Lawrence. ”

Although he knew that he had already had a confrontation with Francis Lawrence without meeting him, Matthew was an actor, and even if he was very disdainful of the other party's bias towards the behavior and thoughts of black actors, he still did a good job on the surface.

He took the initiative to extend his right hand.

Francis Lawrence touched his hand lightly and said coldly, "Hello." ”

After saying that, he didn't mean to continue talking to Matthew, and took the initiative to sit back in his place.

Although it was not obvious, Francis Lawrence showed a little hostility, Matthew glanced at him, muttered for half a second, turned and walked towards an armchair, and then deliberately rubbed his right hand on top of his clothes from an angle that Francis Lawrence could see, as if it was stained with dirt.

He is now an A-lister and also works as a producer on the crew, Francis Lawrence is a director who has only shot one film, and the film "Constantine" directed by him was not a box office success......

If this white-skinned and black-hearted director fights him hard for black actors, then it would be good.

Matthew did this on purpose, of course, to provoke Francis Lawrence, and if the young director couldn't bear it and really planned to do something, he would have enough reasons and excuses for the crew to fire him.

Since the crew confirmed that he would star and completely gave up Will Smith, Will Smith and CAA have not made any moves, just like Matthew doesn't want to have a conflict with a first-line star like Will Smith, Will Smith obviously doesn't want to have a huge conflict with him.

Matthew and Helen Herman discussed it and came to the same conclusion that the easiest way to deal with a director like Francis Lawrence is often the most effective.
