Chapter 37 Dedication to Art

The taxi arrived, Matthew didn't get in the car, the place the director said was in Burbank, there was no need to go back, after watching Michael Sheehan get in the car and leave, he called Liszt to ask for leave, casually found a place to have dinner, and soon found the address that director Martin Jackson said.

It's a hotel, and the address Martin Jackson says is the suite on the top floor of the hotel.

Matthew saw that it was still early, found a place to sit in the rest area of the hotel lobby, turned his head to look at the traffic outside the glass curtain wall, and was stunned for a while.

The dark curtain slowly descends, the outside is lit up with colorful neon, and the streets below are intertwined with pedestrians, looking extremely prosperous.

In the alley across the street, Michael Sheehan looked at Matthew through the glass curtain wall, his face covered with dark clouds.

He didn't go to Hollywood Boulevard, the taxi drove out for a while and got off, came here and waited until now, and things turned out to be as bad as he thought, and couldn't be worse.

The fact that the director dared to call Matthew Horner to the hotel shows that he is very likely to choose Matthew Horner.

Inside the hotel, Matthew sat back in his chair, emptying his mind and not wanting to think about anything, even if it was this upcoming meeting with director Martin Jackson.

It wasn't until it was nearly eight o'clock that he got up and walked to the elevator.

Michael Sheehan saw Matthew leave and knew that he was going to director Martin Jackson, thought for a moment, quickly crossed the street, entered the hotel, came to the spot where Matthew had just been, sat down and waited quietly.

He was waiting for a possibility, Matthew had a weird temper, and he might refuse the director's kindness.

On the top floor of the hotel, Matthew stood in the hallway, gently knocked on the door, and footsteps were heard behind the door, and then someone pulled it away, revealing the face of the man in his thirties that he had seen in the audition room during the day.

"Hello, Director Jackson. Matthew said very politely, "I'm Matthew Horner, and you called me this afternoon." ”

Martin Jackson nodded slightly, stepped aside, and said casually, "Come in." ”

Matthew entered the room, saw a spotless carpet inside, and asked, "Do I need to change my shoes?"

"There were slippers in the shoe cabinet. Martin Jackson casually pointed to the back of the door, "Take it yourself." ”

Glancing over there, Matthew opened the shoe cabinet, took out his slippers and put them on, and entered the living room of the suite, where he found Martin Jackson sitting on a couch and pouring red wine into his glass.

Then, Martin Jackson put down the bottle, looked at Matthew, and took a slow sip of his glass.

This unclear attitude made Matthew a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but slow down, but the other party was still watching him taste red wine, and he didn't mean to ask him to sit at all.

It wasn't until Matthew walked to the center of the living room that Martin Jackson spoke, "Okay, just stand here." ”

Matthew couldn't figure out what he was going to do, but he stopped at his feet.

Martin Jackson took another sip of red wine, looked directly at Matthew, and said, "The audition didn't look at your muscles, this role is very strict with muscle lines, I need to look at your muscles." ”

He gestured, "Take off your shirt." ”

These words made Matthew slightly stunned, and then realized some bad possibilities, his mind was full of getting this role before, and he didn't think about anything else, but he was not a fledgling hairy boy after all, and his rich social experience told him that Martin Jackson had other intentions!

Matthew hesitated, still a little fluke in his heart, maybe Martin Jackson didn't have any other thoughts at all, really just wanted to see his muscle lines.

If this is the case, if he doesn't take off his shirt, won't he take the initiative to give up this rare opportunity?

In just a few seconds, two completely different thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind.

"What are you doing?" Martin Jackson urged as he lowered his glass, "take off your shirt." ”

Matthew groaned for a second, then reached out to take off his slim T-shirt, still on the single sofa next to him, revealing his muscular upper body.

"Whew-"

Martin Jackson made a strange sound from his mouth and suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on Matthew.

"Matthew......" he said again, "now take off your pants." ”

Hearing this, the only remaining illusion in Matthew's heart was instantly shattered, and if he still couldn't understand it now, he was really an idiot.

He wanted the role so badly that he wanted the opportunity, so he came, so he had illusions when he guessed that Martin Jackson might have bad intentions.

Because he desperately wants to become famous and make a lot of money.

But there are some things he won't do, and once he does, even he will look down on himself.

Matthew ignored Martin Jackson's words, grabbed his T-shirt and put it on his body, turned around and walked towards the door.

"Don't you want this role?" Martin Jackson's voice came from behind him, "You're the number one candidate now, get out of here......"

He only said half of his words, and then his tone changed, "Stay, I promise, this role is yours." ”

Matthew turned around and glanced at Martin Jackson, the anger in it was clearly visible, resisted the urge to make a move, changed his shoes, stepped into his slender and powerful legs, and left without looking back.

Entering the corridor, the anger did not dissipate, but burned more and more, and his throat was dry and his mouth thirsty.

"Bitch raised!"

He exploded a national curse, knowing that he had encountered the legendary unspoken rules.

Take the elevator and go downstairs, even if he loses this role, Matthew will not have any hesitation, if it is a young and beautiful female director, then you can still consider it......

After getting out of the elevator, Matthew came to the lobby on the first floor, and was so thirsty that he simply walked towards the vending machine on the left, ready to buy a bottle of mineral water to quench his thirst and at the same time extinguish the boiling and burning anger, otherwise he didn't dare to guarantee that he would not go back upstairs and drag Martin Jackson out and beat him up.

Of course, this can't just be settled.

But Matthew knew he wasn't capable of doing anything about it right now.

Near the rest of the glass curtain wall, Michael Sheehan kept staring at the elevator exit, and as soon as Matthew came out, he saw it, and then couldn't stop laughing.

Calculating the time, even if you count the elevator, Matthew didn't even go up for five minutes, and there was nothing unusual when he came down.

What does this mean? One possibility is that Matthew refused, and the other possibility that things were not what he thought they would be.

Michael Sheehan immediately denied the latter, he is not Matthew's rookie who has just started in the industry, although he has not made any name for himself, but he has been in this circle for three years, and there are some things that he has never seen but heard countless times, and a director called the actor to his residence to talk about work, and the intention was already obvious.

His eyes followed Matthew towards the vending machine, but his head kept turning, this director is a man, and he is also interested in men, if Matthew rejects him, is there a chance for him?

Michael Sheehan touched his face with one hand and the strong muscles in his chest with the other, and felt that he should take a chance!

He thinks he's no worse than Matthew Horner's hillbilly!

If you don't take risks, you will definitely continue to be a dispensable little actor.

In the past, even if he wanted people to do it, he couldn't find a chance.

Michael Sheehan stood up unconsciously, as if he was afraid that the opportunity would slip away from him, and he didn't want to wait for a second, and couldn't wait to walk towards the elevator room.

Opportunity, only when you grasp it, is the real opportunity!

At the vending machine, Matthew chose a bottle of ordinary mineral water, and as soon as he put in the coin, a familiar figure flashed from the glass of the vending machine, and he subconsciously looked back and saw Michael Sheehan walking into the elevator room.

"Huh......" Matthew was a little strange, "what is he doing here? Could it be that Martin Jackson called him too?"

In the afternoon, Michael Sheehan had clearly left Burbank in a taxi, and now he was here, and he couldn't find any other reason than this explanation.

Matthew took the mineral water, unscrewed it and took a big sip, originally planning to leave and go home, but when Michael Sheehan entered the elevator, he changed his mind and decided to stay and have a look.

Michael Sheehan is very purposeful, somewhat similar to him, Matthew wants to see if this guy will stay here, or do something with Martin Jackson, if he makes that choice, Martin Jackson is bound to help him get that role.

With the mineral water in hand, Matthew walked to the glass curtain wall and sat down in his previous position, staring at the elevator room with great interest.

Compared to the angry appearance just now, he gradually calmed down.

The reason is simple, even if Michael Sheehan agrees to Martin Jackson, it is not 100% possible to get the role.

In this role, Britney Spears has the most important voice, not the director.

Matthew had always remembered what Amanda had revealed in private, so he was angry just now, but not depressed.

However, he also knows very well that if he offends director Martin Jackson now, and wants to get this actor, I'm afraid he will have to think of some ways in Britney Spears.

How do you make Britney choose herself? If Britney also likes to play this kind of unspoken rule, then it will be easy to do.

Staring at the elevator room, Matthew was really a little bored, and began to fantasize unrealistically when he had nothing to do, and now Britney is young, beautiful and energetic, as if she is not yet twenty years old, if she wants to engage in unspoken rules, he can sacrifice it, it doesn't matter if the role is not a role......

After thinking for a while, he took out his phone and looked at the time, more than half an hour passed, and Michael Sheehan never came out of the elevator room.

"Did he stay on it?" said Matthew, who suddenly oozed cold sweat from his forehead, and he couldn't imagine that kind of image, "He really wants to dedicate himself to art?"

After sitting here for more than half an hour, a bottle of mineral water was all drunk, and Matthew didn't see Michael Sheehan come out, speculating that the other party might stay with Martin Jackson for the night, and it was no fun to wait any longer, so he simply got up and prepared to leave.

Immediately afterward, he took a few steps back and hid in a place where he could not be easily spotted.

Michael Sheehan is coming out of the elevator room!
