"You eat first. X" Helen Herman gestured to the plate in front of Matthew, "We'll talk after eating." ”

Matthew was not polite, after a busy morning, he was indeed hungry, he picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, it seemed to taste okay, and after swallowing it, he asked, "Have you eaten it?"

Helen Herman said lightly, "I've eaten it." ”

Alexandra Daddario pulled a strand of her long dark brown hair back and said, "We came here after lunch at the hotel." ”

Matthew nodded, stopped talking, and concentrated on his lunch.

Alexandra D'Addario looked at Matthew, the red blood on Matthew's clothes, neck, and face, and blue eyes quickly moved to the side, leaning into Helen Herman's ear, and asked, "So he can eat it too?"

"It's just fake blood made from syrup mixed with special ketchup. Helen Herman glanced at Matthew, and didn't deliberately lower her voice, "Don't say it's fake blood, even real blood can eat it." ”

Matthew, of course, heard this, raised his head, and said deliberately, "Actually, these are all sweet. ”

The fake blood on his body looked very scary, but it didn't smell bad, and there was a sweet smell of corn syrup.

Ten minutes later, Matthew finished his lunch, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, looked at Helen Herman and Alexandra Daddario across from him, and said, "I'm done eating, let's talk about something." ”

Helen Herman didn't go around in circles, and said directly, "Anna's family has something to do, I didn't accompany her to Canada this time, the company has some emergencies to deal with in Los Angeles, and I will leave Toronto in the afternoon." ”

She looked at Alexandra D'Addario, "Anna has only been in one crew and lacks experience in this area. Matthew, you're the male lead, help take care of Anna. ”

Matthew glanced at Alexandra Daddario, who smiled shyly at him.

Alexandra Daddario is not stupid, the agent has something to leave, and Matthew is the best to rely on, after all, he is the biggest actor in the crew, and with his support, no one dares to make things difficult for him.

Like the last time she played a small role in the crew of "Tales of the Night", it left a very bad impression on her, especially Rachel McAdams, who used a dressing room with her, was simply aimed at her everywhere.

Matthew understood what Helen Herman was behind and said, "No problem. ”

Alexandra Daddario was introduced to Angel Agency by Amanda, her father's position was very helpful to Amanda's parents' careers, and Helen Herman and Amanda are very close cousins......

Sort out these relationships a little bit, and Matthew will also know why Helen Herman takes such good care of Alexandra D'Addario.

To put it bluntly, this is an American-style collusion between officials and businessmen.

"That's good. Helen Herman didn't bother with Matthew, looked at her watch, and said, "I'm going back to the hotel to pack my bags, and you can take Anna to the set later." ”

Matthew nodded, "I know how to do it." ”

Helen Herman turned to Alexandra D'Addario and said, "I'll be back in a week or so, and you can rest easy with Matthew here." She thought for a moment and then said, "If you encounter trouble, you can tell Matthew in time, and he will definitely be able to help you solve it." ”

"I understand. Alexandra Daddario said.

"I'll say hello to the crew. Matthew climbed up step by step from the bottom, of course, he knew that no matter how harmonious the crew was on the surface, there would be no strife, "Let them know that you are my friend." ”

Alexandra Daddario, who was originally a little worried, immediately dissipated and said to Matthew with a smile, "Thank you. ”

Matthew smiled too, "You're welcome. He grinned, "Aren't you good friends with Amanda? Amanda's friends are my friends." ”

Helen Herman gave Matthew a wary look, but said nothing, she stood up and said to the two, "I'm leaving, call me if there's something." ”

Seeing Helen Herman leave, Alexandra Daddario turned back and asked, "Is the crew in a good mood?"

"Huh?" Matthew looked at her curiously.

Alexandra D'Addario smiled and said, "Last time, for the role you introduced to me, I left after filming all morning, but the crew ......"

Matthew asked, "What happened to that crew?"

"How can I say it? Alexandra Daddario thought for a moment before saying, "It feels like the relationship between people is very awkward, the heroine Kate Beckinsale has a relationship with the director, the investor, and the actor, and Rachel McAdams, who uses a dressing room with me, is like a thorn in my body." ”

She changed her tone to a happy tone, "It's good that I've been there all morning." ”

"It's the norm for Hollywood crews. Matthew pushed the finished plate aside, "The crew I have worked in, except for "Pirates of the Caribbean", which was one of the leading actors in the previous time, the other crews have a lot of troubles, and it can be said that they are full of disputes. ”

Alexandra D'Addario has just entered the industry, this is her second role, and she doesn't know much about the Hollywood circle, so she pricked up her ears at this time.

Matthew continued, "The actor is a little better, but it's not much better, if nothing else, let's just say that there are hundreds of actors to be used in this crew now, how many of them have positive shots? how many of them can have lines? What about those who can really leave an impression on the audience? Compared to these, what about actors who want to enter the crew and seek a role?"

Alexandra D'Addario didn't speak, just listened carefully to Matthew.

"There could be thousands, or more. Matthew shrugged slightly, "If you want to climb up, you have to step on someone else's ladder." ”

"But ......," Alexandra Daddario seemed to disagree, "I didn't feel like I'd be competing with anyone else when I got the role." ”

Matthew was speechless for a moment, all he said was an actor from a background similar to him, a person from Alexandra Daddario's background, who was far easier to come out than them.

"That's because you start higher than everyone else. Matthew said.

Alexandra Daddario thought for a moment and roughly understood what he meant, "Like...... That's right. ”

Although she is not yet eighteen years old, she has been around her shrewd parents since she was a child, and she also knows something about this society.

"Look......" Matthew gave another example, "the last time you easily got a role, someone was targeting you, and I guess there will be this time." ”

When he said this, Alexandra D'Addario remembered one thing, "On the plane when I came, someone had asked me for trouble, but Helen stopped me. ”

Matthew didn't ask, and said directly, "If anyone will trouble you in the future, there will be me! I will be killed from countless disputes!" He held up a finger and said deliberately, "Anna, believe me! In this crew, if I want to bully an actor, I will torture them and quit the crew." ”

Of course, this kind of talk is used to coax this kind of girl who is not deeply involved in the world.

As long as he said hi to a few of the executive producers on the set and said that Alexandra Daddario was his friend as the absolute male lead, it would not be easy for anyone to go to Alexandra Daddario unless he had a problem with his head.

"Hmm!" Alexandra Daddario nodded vigorously, not knowing whether intentionally or unintentionally, and straightened her chest, "Now Helen is gone." Matthew, I'll rely on you. ”

Hearing this, Matthew suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it, and said, "A little thing, you're welcome." He stood up, "Let's go, let's go to the set, I'll take you to meet the director." ”

He walked towards the door of the restaurant, thinking about Alexandra D'Addario, the young girl he knew, who seemed to be of the more introverted and calm type.

Alexandra Daddario followed behind Matthew, her bright blue eyes looking at his back, making sure that she had a more secure person to rely on in the crew than Helen Herman.

She took two quick steps, caught up with Matthew as she went out, and walked beside him, still talking a little silent.

Coming to the open-air set, Matthew introduced Alexandra D'Addario to Zach Schneider and several executive producers, making it clear that it was his friend and asked them to take care of him.

These people responded very happily.

Matthew did this, not only to introduce Alexandra D'Addario to several important people in the crew, but now there are a lot of people on the set, and they are also shown to them, after these people see it, as long as they have a normal head and don't want to have a head-on conflict with him, the actor, they will naturally not be okay to provoke Alexandra D'Addario.

Within the appropriate range, Matthew can help Helen Herman, and he will also help her, Helen Herman's agent is still very valuable to him.

Later, when Alexandra Daddario went to the makeup trailer to make up, Matthew deliberately asked his assistant to accompany her over, an actor of Alexandra Daddario's level, of course, it is impossible to enjoy a separate makeup trailer, and with his assistant to accompany him, there will definitely be less trouble in the back.

Matthew is well aware that even though Alexandra D'Addario is well-born and has been specially cared for by Helen Herman, no crew in Hollywood is amiable, clean and pure like heaven, and those who climb one step are more likely to be jealous and attacked than those who climb up slowly.

In this regard, Tom Cruise can be said to be typical back then.

Soon, the crew started to work, Matthew didn't remove his makeup before, and after a simple touch-up, filming would begin.

This afternoon, some of the scenes where he fights zombies and meets Alexandra Daddario's character will be filmed.
