Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Marauders of War

Monday's update is the same as usual, at nine and fifteen.) )

Hearing Eric Pock say this, Matthew was slightly stunned, thinking of Martin Jackson, the previous director of Britney's MV crew, and secretly vigilant in his heart, does this guy have similar special fetishes?

But when I think about it, it's not right, after all, he is not the only one here, there are also agents and costumes present.

Sure enough, Matthew thought too much about himself, and what Eric Pock said had nothing to do with peculiar fetishes.

"The series was filmed mainly in Europe, with most of it concentrated in the UK and France. ”

For Helen Herman's sake, Eric Pocker revealed a little information in advance, "Before the filming began, all the actors who played the main military roles had to undergo military training in the UK for no less than a month to a month and a half, and the training was very tiring and hard. ”

"No problem. Matthew said.

He is mentally prepared in this regard, and he is not afraid of hardship and tiredness.

Eric Pock added, "The shooting time may last more than half a year, and you have to adjust the schedule. ”

Matthew nodded first, then looked at Helen Herman, and then he also thought that Eric Poktor said this, completely for Helen Herman's face.

"And one more thing, most importantly!" Eric Pock asked, looking at Matthew, "I remember your profile shows that you are not a member of the Screen Actors Guild?"

Matthew scratched his head, and Helen Herman answered, "Not for the time being, I've prepared the materials for him to join the Screen Actors Guild." ”

Eric Pock urged, "Do it as soon as possible, this is a unionized project, and the actors in the main roles must be union members." ”

"Don't worry. Helen Herman pointed to her briefcase, "I'll take the materials with me, and we'll go to the union when we leave the studio." ”

Leaving the studio, Helen Herman beckoned Matthew into her car and immediately took him to the Screen Actors Guild, as she said in the styling room, she had prepared all kinds of necessary materials for Matthew to join the Screen Actors Guild, with Matthew's current resume, joining the Screen Actors Guild is not a big problem, and Helen Herman also has acquaintances in the Guild.

However, the cost of a little more than $3,000 needs to be taken care of by Matthew.

Accompanied by Helen Herman, after completing the membership procedures, Matthew sadly found that his $4,000 salary for the "Sometimes" MV crew was basically spent, including the cost of the mobile phone and the second-hand TV and video player package.

If it weren't for Liszt's giving him a month of full attendance and receiving a whole month's payment from the Red Penguin Company, he would be even more nervous now.

After coming out of the Screen Actors Guild, Matthew took Helen Herman's car to the angel agency, and in addition to having information about "Band of Brothers" to take, Helen Herman also had to talk to him about the role.

"Amanda ......"

As they went upstairs together, Matthew asked the girl walking next to him, "Do you know of any jobs that take a short time and pay quickly?"

"Yes. Amanda immediately gave the answer, "Grab a bank or go to Mexico to transport drugs here." ”

"Are you short of money?" Helen Herman in front of her also heard, "liquidated damages paid?"

"What liquidated damages?" Amanda asked curiously.

Matthew ignored Amanda's question and said, "They haven't sent me a lawyer's letter for a long time, so maybe forget it." ”

"Forget it?" Helen Herman shook her head, "I guess it's a legal process." ”

She turned up to the second floor, waited for Matthew to come up, and said, "Remember to notify me when you receive a court summons." ”

After thinking about it, Matthew felt that Helen Herman's analysis made sense, and he couldn't tell if the other party was really going through the legal process, so he nodded, "I understand." ”

With Helen Herman as an agent, this kind of thing can at least make him less headache.

However, he still has a bit of a fluke mentality, a small person, it shouldn't be unforgettable, right?

Entering the office, Helen Herman helped Matthew pick up a glass of water and said, "You don't have to take on other jobs lately, the next audition is very important to you, and all your energy should be spent preparing for the role we are fighting for." ”

She gestured to Amanda, who opened a filing cabinet and pulled out a foot-thick stack of materials with a book from the original Band of Brothers.

"These things are specially collected by me. Helen Herman sat down behind her desk with a cup of coffee, "You take it back and study it." ”

She took a sip of coffee and added, "There is about a month or so left before the next audition, Eric Pock has no say in the audition for this role, and the real decision-making power of the crew is in the hands of HBO and Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, and I can't talk to them." ”

When Matthew heard Helen Herman say this, his heart instantly cooled.

He knows that he doesn't have enough experience and acting experience, and he has only been in the industry for half a year, so he has no advantage at all compared with other actors.

Originally, he thought that Helen Herman's relationship with the crew might be a key factor in the audition, but now it seems that there is no need to have too many illusions in this regard.

"So...... Helen Herman put down her coffee cup, "you have to do a good job in the audition, even if you don't pass the audition, you have to impress the crew, so that I can get you a slightly worse role when I execute the alternatives." ”

Matthew took the information Amanda had brought over, put it on the coffee table next to him, and asked, "How many plans have you made?" ”

"Two sets. Since Helen Herman asked Matthew to come over, she was ready to talk about it, "Although I can't get the script now, I have seen a schedule from Eric Pock, which has the main and secondary roles, and I see a supporting role that may be very good, and his role is relatively heavy, which is our first goal." ”

Matthew took the original novel, flipped through the catalog, and asked, "Which character? Can you tell me more about it?" ”

"Ronald Spears!" Helen Herman seems to have studied the role, "He's the fourth company commander of Company E, brave and determined, and sometimes even cold, the standard predator, perfect for you." ”

Matthew touched his face with obvious contours and hard lines, and the setting of this character really fits his appearance very well.

Helen Herman then added, "Spears, in addition to being a tough guy, is a typical war marauder. Among the character settings I've seen, this is one that stands out. ”

"Hear you say that......" Matthew asked, "Ronald Spears is a major supporting character, right?"

"Hmm. Helen Herman nodded and said bluntly, "I think he's very heavy in the role and in the role." ”

Matthew was not confident, "Can I get such a role?"

Helen Herman looked at him, "How do you know if you don't try?

"I ......," Matthew could only say, "do you think I can get involved with Steven Spielberg or Tom Hanks?"

Helen Herman shook her head, "No. ”

She coughed and said, "If you can get this role, you will be lucky, and your future development will be smoother, and if you can't get it, there is no ......."

Matthew pointed to the pile of materials, "If we are eliminated, won't all our preparations be in vain?"

"I'm not done yet. ”

"Can you say it all at once. Matthew has a problem with Helen Herman's way of speaking, "Don't always squeeze and squeeze. ”

Helen Herman ignored Matthew's words at all and continued, "This time the crew selects actors differently, because the roles are all military, the most important roles are eliminated actors, and the excellent ones, the crew will give them some secondary supporting roles according to the actual situation. ”

Matthew understood, "So, you have a backup plan?"

"That's right. Helen Herman nodded and admitted, "Eric Pork has a certain say in these roles, as long as you can impress the crew bosses in the audition, with me and Eric here, it's still a little sure to get a secondary supporting role." ”

She put her hands on her desk, "Of course, our primary target is Ronald Spears, this character is far better than those minor characters, and the episode will definitely get more attention after it airs." ”

Matthew closed the book, but didn't speak, and frankly, he did have little confidence in competing for such a role.

This kind of thing is not a few calls that I am confident or I will definitely be able to do it, but I am confident that I must have the confidence of many combinations of opportunities, abilities and networks.

No matter how you look at it, he lacks confidence.

It is estimated that Helen Herman also thinks this way, hence the so-called backup plan.

"I'll do my best!" said Matthew.

"Don't be too stressed. Helen Herman always frowned when she saw Matthew's young face, and simply decompressed, "The first goal is to fight for it, and even if we can't get it, it's not a disaster." ”

Matthew laughed, "Don't worry, Helen. Stress only becomes my motivation. ”

Helen Herman waved her hand at Matthew, "Alright, you go back and prepare." She saw Matthew holding up the stack of materials, and said, "If you have any questions, communicate with me in time, and don't make claims." ”

"I know. Matthew picked up the information and turned to walk towards the door, "Trust each other." ”

In fact, he knows very well that this job opportunity was completely won by Helen Herman, this is the crew of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, and if he really wants to get a weighty role, even if it is not Ronald Spears, but a secondary supporting role, he may have to face fierce competition.
