(Ask for recommendation votes)

After getting off work in the morning, Matthew rushed to Burbank, came to the angel agency, and went to the front desk to find Amanda to find out the situation.

"It's all my fault. "Amanda looked sorry," Helen asked me a few words, but I was unprepared and accidentally slipped out. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Matthew hurriedly comforted, "We haven't done anything illegal or criminal, Helen will know when she knows." ”

Amanda turned her head, "yes, I'm just helping you get the role, anyway, Helen also said that any of you get the leading actor is the same." ”

She is a relatively simple girl, and after all, she doesn't know what Matthew is doing behind her back.

"Is Helen here?" asked Matthew.

"It's coming. Amanda pointed upstairs, "I'll be waiting for you in the office." You go up. ”

Matthew nodded, bypassed the front desk, went up to the second floor, came to Helen Herman's office, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in. ”

Hearing Helen Herman's voice, Matthew pushed the door open and walked in, greeting Helen Herman, who was sitting behind his desk, familiarly, "Good morning, Helen." ”

Helen Herman gestured to the couch, "Sit casually." Water or coffee. ”

"No need. Matthew, who was not thirsty now, sat down in front of a single couch and asked, "Find me something." ”

"Yesterday I went to meet Michael Sheehan. Helen Herman crossed her hands on her desk and asked, "I've terminated his contract and he's been scolding you and Martin Jackson, what the hell is going on?"

So far, Matthew doesn't plan to go around in circles, and said directly, "After the first audition, Martin Jackson called me and asked me to go to the hotel to talk about things, and I went that night and found out that he had bad intentions and rejected him. ”

Helen Herman didn't seem to believe it, "You rejected him?"

"Please, I have a bottom line!" Matthew spread his hands, "I'm only interested in women! ”

He didn't care whether Helen Herman believed it or not, and continued, "When I came down, I happened to find that Michael Sheehan was also looking for Martin Jackson. The next day Michael Sheehan asked me to have lunch and showed me that he could get the lead actor in the music video, he was walking weirdly at the time, and I guessed he must have made a deal with Martin Jackson. ”

Helen Herman lifted the black-rimmed glasses off her face, "Why are you the one who wins in the end?"

"I didn't want to lose this opportunity and made some efforts. Matthew was not ashamed, and said it even more high-sounding, "My hard work and some good fortune finally led to the current audition results." ”

There were some things that Helen Herman had asked out of Amanda's mouth, but she was sure that Amanda knew only a tiny fraction of what she knew.

"Let's be specific. She looked at Matthew.

"I heard Amanda say that Britney was the key to the audition. Most of what Matthew said was true, but some were false, "It just so happened that I had a friend who was an entertainment reporter, and I made a special inquiry to see how I could impress Britney, and my reporter friend told me that Britney and Christina Aguilera had sharp conflicts in private, and they were mortal enemies when they were in the Mickey Mouse Club, so I asked Amanda to help, and deliberately said I hated Christina Aguilet outside Britney's lounge door." ”

"The means are very low-level, but the effect is not bad. Helen Herman spoke in a calm tone, "You're really surprising me, Matthew Horner." ”

Auditions for most of the main roles in Hollywood, which do not operate and compete in private, the more unfamous the actors, the more fierce the competition, this guy is more suitable for development in Hollywood than she thought.

"You shouldn't involve Amanda. She said coldly.

"I don't want to, but I can't find anyone else. Matthew said, "You can't bring an entertainment reporter into the set, right?"

Helen Herman reminded, "You should come to me, I'm your agent." ”

Matthew reminded, "You're also the agent for all of my competitors. ”

Helen Herman was speechless for a moment, although she felt that Matthew was more suitable to work hard in this circle than others, but she did not invest more resources and attention in him, after all, opportunities in this circle are much more important than ability, many people who seem to have good potential will not be able to get ahead in their lives, and some people are confused but become famous overnight.

"Remember to let me know next time. Helen Herman doesn't intend to dwell on this kind of thing, "You're now high in my client sequence. ”

Hearing her say this, Matthew tentatively asked, "Isn't it the first?" ”

Helen Herman didn't answer him, instead saying, "Let's talk about Michael Sheehan and Martin Jackson again." ”

Matthew looked innocent, "Does their business have anything to do with me?"

"Michael Sheehan is a client of Angel Agent, and he attacks the director directly in the crew. Helen Herman's eyes behind her glasses were a little oppressive, "Do you think he will affect you?"

Matthew was stunned for a moment, how could he ignore this! If he had thought about it earlier, he wouldn't have stimulated Michael Sheehan!

But then he got back to normal and said, "Didn't we sign a contract with the crew and the record company?"

"Do you know how much it took me to keep this down?" Helen Herman looked disgruntled.

Matthew slapped his palms and looked angry, "Damn Michael Sheehan!

Helen Herman was a little confused, "It's not you who are behind it. ”

"No!" Matthew, of course, won't admit, "I want a male lead, nothing else." ”

He really didn't expect Michael Sheehan to do it, and he was ruthless enough.

Having said that, he obviously didn't think about it too much, and he didn't think about the possible impact on the brokerage company and himself.

"Sure enough, it's a very low-level method. Matthew laughed at himself in his heart, "My head is still not enough." ”

Helen Herman didn't trust Matthew very much, and Matthew could see it and simply said, "You probably can't understand the mentality of a normal man." If this matter is replaced by me, I pay this humiliating price, but I can't get what I want, let alone beating people, killing people is possible. ”

Helen Herman was suspicious and didn't pursue it further, the Angel Agent terminated Michael Sheehan's contract, and the record company took the opportunity to fire Martin Jackson, and that was the end of the matter.

Moreover, it took a lot of time for her to confirm that Matthew Horner is a more potential customer.

Perhaps, we can invest more resources in him?

Matthew saw Helen Herman thinking, did not open his mouth to defend again, and reflected on several actions planned to compete for the MV actor, and now looking back, there are many loopholes, and there are more ill-conceived places, if it is not for good luck enough, plus the advantage of Britney Spears' foresight, he will not be the final winner.

But it's worth it in the end!

"You have to trust your broker. Helen Herman suddenly spoke, "My job is to get a job for you." ”

Matthew said with a serious face, "I've always trusted you." Helen, you have to trust me, too. ”

Helen Herman looked at Matthew, "Can I trust you?" She took off her glasses and rubbed her eyebrows, "Say hello to me next time before you do something!"

"I promise!" Matthew could see that Helen Herman was rather annoyed, and he needed the agent now, "I'll definitely ask for your opinion on anything I do about the role in the future." ”

Helen Herman put her glasses back on, "Also, don't drag Amanda into this in the future, she's just here to help me temporarily." ”

Matthew nodded seriously this time, "No." ”

He looked at the wall clock on the wall, stood up and said, "It's time for me to go to North Hollywood." ”

"Go ahead. Helen Herman waved her hand, "Remember to study your character and the script." If there is something in the crew, I will let you know in advance. ”

Matthew left the office and went downstairs to the lobby, said hello to Amanda, and hailed a taxi to the school in North Hollywood to continue his acting class.

Due to his long time at Angel Agency, he arrived late at the school.

It wasn't David Astor who was in class today, but a middle-aged woman, and Matthew apologized and entered the classroom to find everyone standing in front of a mirror at a distance from each other.

This class teaches how to control facial muscles and subtle expressions.

As mentioned in the previous course, a good actor can even control every muscle in the face, which requires a lot of practice over a long period of time, and there are many acting schools and courses in Los Angeles, and various genres and training methods are also very fine, and each experienced actor has his own uniqueness.

Compared with the rest of his class, Matthew is significantly behind in this regard, and many people who come to Hollywood to become actors, such as Rachel McAdams next to him, in fact, in addition to the influence of family background, discovered his interest in high school and began to join acting clubs.

When it comes to universities, in addition to professional acting schools, many universities also have very top drama clubs.

As we all know, Lao Mei's school club is quite influential.

Even without professional training from university, many students who discover their interest in this area in high school have some acting experience and ability.

These are all things that Matthew, who dropped out of school very early, can't compare.

So, Matthew is more diligent and cherishes every opportunity more.

He stood in front of the mirror and practiced according to the requirements of a simple script.

The morning ended in this seemingly rather boring training, and after entering the industry for such a long time, Matthew really felt that behind the seemingly scenery, there is also a dedication that is difficult for outsiders to understand.

After class, Matthew rubbed his face and looked to the side, Rachel McAdams was sorting out her textbooks.

"What's for lunch?" he asked directly, "I'm in for a treat." ”

Rachel McAdams smiled sweetly, "Rich? ”
