Chapter 13: Characters with Lines
"He?" Winona Ryder turned to look at Matthew and asked, "What's your name?"
Presumably she wanted to remember her name, Matthew sneered, or said, "Matthew, Matthew Horner." ”
Winona Ryder nodded, "Matthew Horner? ”
Matthew pretended to smile lightly, looking very unconcerned, in fact, wishing Winona Ryder had forgotten about him tomorrow.
"I'll find you a suitable role. Winona Ryder said.
"You have to have lines. Angelina Jolie had discussed with Matthew before, "Higher pay!"
Winona Ryder's face was a little ugly, "The roles with names and surnames have long been decided, and it is impossible to change them at will, you know this very well." ”
Matthew didn't ask for an important role with a name and a surname, it was wishful thinking, and to give him an important role, with his current ability, according to his current ability, he would only be embarrassed if he couldn't control it.
Angelina Jolie said according to the results agreed upon by the two, "Characters with lines are fine." She looked at Matthew, this young man was very greedy, but he knew how to stop in moderation, and he left a good impression on her, and this time it was a great help, and after thinking about it, she added one, "The name should be on the end credits." ”
Hearing this, Matthew couldn't help but pat his head, he was really a layman.
This should have been fought for by the agent, but his agent ...... Matthew shook his head, there is no capital now, for the time being, the situation has changed, that Dennis Kurt should forget it.
"Okay, that's fine. Winona Ryder gradually regained her cold appearance, "I can promise you. ”
Bingo –
Angelina-Jolie snapped her fingers, "Okay, the problem is solved." ”
She turned around and wanted to leave, but Matthew stood up, but Winona-Ryder said, "Wait!"
"Anything else?" asked Angelina Jolie after a pause.
"I agreed to your terms. Winona Ryder said quickly, "But how do you promise not to say it?"
"Why should I say it? Is it good for me?" Angelina Jolie's mind was pretty clear when she wasn't jerking, "I've got what I wanted, why should I say it? I'm going to get you into a scandal? Is it good for me that the film is dragged down by scandal? Isn't it all a joke that I'm fighting for now?"
Winona-Ryder thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "I can trust you. ”
Then, she turned to look at Matthew, "But what about him?"
"I promise I won't say it!" Matthew immediately interjected.
"I don't believe you. Winona-Ryder said bluntly, "I don't believe in people like you. ”
Matthew stretched out his hands helplessly, "I have a good reputation! Miss Julie can prove it." ”
"I can't prove anything!" Angelina Jolie voluntarily kept her distance, "I don't know you well at all. ”
None of these famous people are stupid.
Matthew frowned slightly and asked Winona Ryder, "What do you say?"
"It's easy!" Winona Ryder also stood up, "I'll get a lawyer to come over, and you can sign a non-disclosure agreement with me!"
Matthew thought about it, and could only look at Angelina Jolie, he had a limited level of education and didn't understand the laws of Lao Mei, so he really didn't know who to consult except Angelina Jolie.
Angelina Jolie asked, "Aren't you worried about one more person knowing?"
"I only limit the clause that he can't mention anything about me at a certain time. Winona Ryder seems to be prepared, "No need to write about specific things." ”
"It's also a way. Angelina Jolie nodded.
Matthew couldn't say anything against it, and as long as Winona Ryder made good on his promise today, he wouldn't be stupid enough to publicize the bookstore.
The two sides agreed, and the rest was easy to do, Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie called their respective lawyers, and these two women were not fuel-efficient lamps, and they just said it beautifully, and they still signed a private agreement.
As for Matthew, with the help of Angelina Jolie's lawyer, he also signed an agreement that would pay a huge sum of money if he got a role on the set and also promoted the bookstore.
When leaving this office, Matthew glanced back, such a crew with a not particularly complicated personnel relationship is a sword, how fierce should the competition in Hollywood be?
The rest of the group left one after another, leaving Winona Ryder alone in the office, she took out her mobile phone and dialed the agent's number, "It's me, you go to a bookstore outside Universal Studios and buy all of their surveillance data." Remember, you go for yourself!"
After the call, Winona Ryder felt a little more relaxed, turned her head to look out of the office, and remembered that bastard, a little improvised acting, had forced her to such a point!
Her already fair face became more and more pale, and her phone suddenly rang, it was her boyfriend.
"Hey, Matt......" she said, "I'm working overtime tonight, don't come and pick me up." Feeling bad? yes, I met a very nasty guy, a staging guy named Matthew Horner, and he me off! How are you going to eat dinner? With Ben, well, say hello to Ben on my behalf. ”
Hanging up the phone, she picked up the microphone on her desk again, dialed the number of director James Mangold, and began to coordinate and communicate about the shooting.
Matthew had just left the Universal Studios photo zone, and Angelina Jolie's driver had already parked his car at the door.
The female assistant Vanessara opened the car door, and Angelina Jolie was about to get on the bus, when she saw Matthew walking towards the bus stop, she asked, "Where are you going?"
"Hollywood Boulevard. "Matthew is going to go to the Red Penguin Company and continue to be an old driver at night.
"Get in the car. Angelina Jolie said hello and got into the car directly, Matthew hesitated slightly, walked over and pulled the car door, and got inside.
"Thank you. He said politely.
In the back of this luxury car are two separate seats, Angelina Jolie is sitting on the right, has flipped out the magazine, does not look at Matthew, and casually replies, "You're welcome, you can also help me." ”
Matthew smiled, "I'm going to help myself." ”
Angelina Jolie opened the magazine, "You're the kind of person who fits this circle very well." ”
"Really?" said Matthew, confidently, "I think so, too. ”
"I don't want to owe a favor. Angelina Jolie only then said the real purpose of getting Matthew in the car, "Say, what do you want." ”
Matthew immediately understood that Angelina Jolie was only treating this as a small deal.
He also doesn't expect a Hollywood star like Angelina Jolie to get along with a little actor on an equal footing, what happened today can be seen very clearly, the people in this circle are not ordinary forces.
"I need to study professionally. Matthew knows that this is a rare opportunity, "Miss Julie is a veteran in the circle, and I hope you can help me introduce me to a good acting school." ”
Hearing this, Angelina-Jolie was a little surprised, she thought that the other party would ask for money or another job opportunity, but she didn't expect to know the importance of professional learning, and it seemed to be a bit of a brain.
It's not difficult, she thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Yes, if there is a suitable one, I will let Vanessa inform you." ”
After saying this, Angelina Jolie's energy was all focused on the magazine, and she didn't say a word to Matthew, and Matthew didn't look bored, turned her head to look out the window, until the car drove to the Hollywood Boulevard near the company, and stopped the driver in advance.
"Goodbye. He said politely to Angelina Jolie.
Angelina Jolie just nodded.
After getting out of the car, Matthew walked to the Red Penguin Company, received the keys and work from Liszt, and when the sun went down, he drove the Ford nanny and continued his nightly work of sending people to pick them up.
As night fell, Hollywood Boulevard was full of lights and dragged his fat body, Dennis Kurt squeezed into a nightclub, sat at the bar and asked for a glass of dark beer, remembering the events of this afternoon, his heart was depressed, and he couldn't help but take a sip of beer.
Winona Ryder, the heroine and producer of the crew, obviously has a prejudice against that fool, and she has managed to establish a little relationship in the crew, and maybe she will be implicated.
Dennis Kurt was depressed again, picked up his glass, and took a bigger sip.
Suddenly, the cell phone in his pocket rang, and Dennis Coulter took it out angrily, only glanced at it, then stood up and put down a dollar bill, walked out of the noisy bar as fast as he could, found a slightly quiet place, and answered the phone.
"Dennis!" Casting director Rubin's voice rang out from the earpiece, "Matthew Horner is your actor, right?"
"Ah......" Dennis Kurt wanted to say no, so as not to affect himself, but he had already registered with the crew, and he couldn't deny it, so he had to say, "......Yes!
He plucked himself out first, "I left early in the afternoon, did Matthew Horner have a problem?"
Dennis Kurt was a little nervous, for fear that the events of the afternoon would cut him off the line of director Rubin.
"What's going on?" Rubin's voice seemed normal, "I wanted to inform you that tomorrow I'll come to the crew with Matthew Horner and sign a make-up agreement, his role has changed, he has two lines, and his pay has been increased to $200 a day......"
"What......" Dennis Kurt couldn't believe his ears, "what did you say?"
"Didn't you hear clearly?" the voice in the earpiece suddenly raised, "Bring Matthew Horner over tomorrow!
Dennis Coulter was stunned and said, "I ...... I understand. ”
Hung up the phone, he was standing here, he couldn't figure out the situation at all, this change was too fast, right?
He took out the phone and dialed Matthew's number, but no one answered, so he had to keep dialing, and finally dialed the phone, Matthew seemed to be very busy over there, and when he finished speaking, he just casually dealt with a few words, and made an appointment to see the crew tomorrow, and hung up.
Dennis Kurt stood on the road in a daze for a while, does that little actor have an unknown side?
