Chapter Eighty-Seven: Rivals

"Ain, fill the wine!"

Michael Cullitz's heroic voice rang out in the bar, "Everyone's cup is full!"

Aine Bailey, holding the bottle, poured half a glass of whiskey into the glasses of Matthew, Michael Cullitz, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender.

"Good!" shouted James McAvoy, "Ready to go!"

He took a spoon, placed it on the table, and spun it, the spoon spun rapidly, and finally the handle pointed at Matthew.

"I'm ......"

Matthew had no choice, picked up the card in front of him, didn't look at the front of the card, took the double-sided tape handed over by Michael Fassbinder, and pasted the card face out on his forehead.

It's clearly a game.

The crew had a two-day holiday, and Matthew had nowhere to go, so he simply went around London with these people during the day and played games and drank together at night.

This is a guessing game, each person writes a movie protagonist on the front of the card, and then shuffles each card and gives one card, the chosen person sticks the card on his forehead so that others can see it, the guesser can ask each of the four people a question, the answerer can only say yes or no, if you can't guess correctly, they drink the whiskey in the glass, and if they guess correctly, the other four people drink according to the number of questions.

For example, Matthew guessed when he asked the first question that they were going to drink four cups each, two questions were three, and so on.

"Hurry up, Matthew!" urged Michael Fassbinder, "let's get started!"

"That's good!"

Although the cards are all about the main characters in the movie, the range is still very wide, and Matthew didn't expect to guess the first question, asking Michael Fassbender first, "Is this American?"

"Yes!" Michael Fassbender nodded.

Matthew thought for a moment and asked James McAvoy again, "Is this male?"

James McEvoy immediately replied, "Yes!"

"What a coincidence. Matthew thought of the card he had written and asked Michael Coolitz, "Does he like to save the world?"

Michael Kulitz opened his mouth, admitting, "Yes." ”

Matthew stopped asking, laughed twice, reached for the card on his forehead, and said, "Superman!"

After saying that, he took the card on his forehead, and then was stunned, the card was not written on Superman at all, but Batman!

"Who wrote this?" Matthew questioned the rest of the group, "Who? I wrote Superman, you wrote Batman, I thought it was ......"

Michael Fassbender interrupted him, "Matthew!

Matthew picked up his glass, drank the whiskey in one gulp, and said, "Come again!"

"Wait. James McAvoy looked at the entrance to the bar and said to Michael Fassbinder, "Your nemesis at Central London Drama School is here." ”

Michael Fassbender also looked over there, "Why did he come to this crew?"

Matthew turned his head and looked at the door of the bar, only to see a young man just walk in, who was not very tall, but very strong.

"Who is this?" he asked.

"Tom Hardy. Michael Fassbender said directly, "A bastard boy." ”

The man also saw Michael Fassbender and walked over like that, and when he got to the table where Matthew was, he nodded Michael Fassbender with his chin, "What a coincidence, Mike." ”

Matthew was closest to the door of the bar, and Tom Hardy was the first to come behind him, "When I was shooting a few days ago, I thought someone was familiar, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”

"yes, what a coincidence. Michael Fassbender smiled like a shark, "Sit down and have a drink together." ”

Tom Hardy smiled disdainfully, stepped forward, and reached for the back of Matthew's chair, "With you?" he shook his head, "I made an appointment with a friend." ”

Matthew could hear that Tom Hardy and Michael Fassbender were at odds with each other, but the two were restrained and didn't do anything too out of the ordinary except for the squeeze and sarcasm.

He didn't know what the contradiction was between the two, so he didn't speak, but when Tom Hardy raised his hand to speak and wanted to prop himself on the back of his chair again, he suddenly moved the chair forward, making Tom Hardy grab the air.

Tom Hardy glanced down at Matthew, saw that it was an unfamiliar face, snorted arrogantly, and squeezed a few words with Michael Fassbender, left here to find an empty table, and the person who made the appointment soon came to the bar, what Matthew and others didn't expect was that the person who had an appointment with him turned out to be the actor Damian Lewis.

"Hi Damian. Matthew had just played with him a few days ago, and he knew each other, "Come over for a drink?"

Damian Lewis is very good at being a man, and he greeted Matthew and said, "I'll treat you another day." ”

Matthew was not reluctant, and with a few polite words, he walked towards Tom Hardy's table.

"Do you have a conflict with him?" said Michael Cooliz, looking at Tom Hardy curiously.

Michael Fassbender doesn't hide it either, "It's an exaggeration to say that the nemesis is James. It's nothing more than when I was in drama school, competing for a few roles in the academy troupe, sometimes I won, sometimes he won. ”

When Michael Cullitz heard this, he lost interest, "That's it?"

He said it too simply. James McAvoy took a sip of his wine glass, "This man is notoriously cautious, relying on his father to be a screenwriter with some status in London, and often makes small moves behind his back, and Michael has suffered several losses." ”

Michael Fassbender didn't seem to care much, "It's all the little things. ”

This is simple, but Matthew can see that Michael Fassbender is not very happy in his heart, and judging from the Tom West incident, he is not the kind of person who holds it in his heart when he suffers a loss.

"Does he know Damian?" Matthew digressed.

"What's so strange about that. James McAvoy continued, "His parents were both from the British literary scene. ”

With Tom Hardy's appearance, the atmosphere between the several people was not as lively as before, and after another drink, they left the bar at Matthew's suggestion.

Walking down the cold road, Michael Kulitz asked, "What's next? Find a place to party?"

"Forget it. James McAvoy was blown by the wind, and the alcohol came up, "I was dizzy and wanted to go back to sleep." ”

Michael Fassbender chimed in, "I'm going back to bed, too." ”

Matthew looked at the time, "Then go back to the hotel and sleep lazily tomorrow!"

During filming, they had to get up early every day, and it took a lot of time to put on makeup, and the crew couldn't wait for characters like them.

Back at the hotel, taking a shower, Matthew fell asleep, and slept unusually soundly until he was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone in the morning.

He took out his mobile phone from under the pillow, and without looking at the number, he pressed the answer button, and said angrily, "Who......?

"It's me, Helen. Helen Herman's voice came from the earpiece, "I'm in London, and on the way to Hatfield Airport, it's estimated that it will take another fifteen minutes to reach your hotel." ”

Matthew sat up directly, "Helen, what are you doing here?"

"There's business to take care of here. Helen Herman's voice was flat, "By the way, see if you're in trouble." ”

"Okay, I'm not going to tell you. Matthew didn't bother to respond, and said directly, "I'll get up now, and I'll wait for you in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel in a moment." ”

Hanging up the phone, he washed up as quickly as possible, changed into formal clothes, hurried out of the room, and came to the restaurant on the first floor.

Matthew picked out a few meals and walked to the door of the restaurant, where Helen Herman appeared at the door of the restaurant before he had finished eating a slice of bacon.

She came in and saw Matthew and walked straight over.

"Have you had breakfast?" Matthew pointed to the dining area, "If you haven't eaten, you can go get some and swipe my card." ”

The crew provided them with meal cards, which could be used in the hotel where they stayed and in the restaurant on the set, just like during the filming of "Gladiator", and the crew's diet was impeccable.

Helen Herman, dressed in a professional suit, held her eyes, pulled out a chair and sat across from Matthew, and said, "No, I ate at the airport." ”

Matthew was not polite, picked up a slice of bacon and put it in two slices of bread, took a big bite, Helen Herman looked at her watch, and said, "I made an appointment at ten o'clock, and the time is relatively tight......"

Before she finished speaking, a person came from behind and greeted Matthew loudly, "Hey, Matthew, it's so early." ”

Helen Herman glanced up at him, and the man happened to be looking at her as well.

The person who came over was Michael Cullitz, looked at Helen Herman and asked, "Matthew, is this your girlfriend?"

Without waiting for Matthew and Helen Herman to speak, he hurriedly reached out his hand, "Hello, I'm Michael Cullitz......"

Helen Herman didn't shake his hand at all and said directly, "I'm Matthew Horner's agent." ”

"Uh......" Michael Cullitz was stunned for a moment, then said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Helen Herman nodded, ignoring him, and Matthew gave Michael Cullitz a look.

Michael Cullitz was also familiar with Matthew, and immediately walked away, muttering as he walked, "Isn......'t it a waste to be an agent if you look so pretty?"

"The actors of the crew. Matthew explained, "A very straightforward person." ”

"Hmm. Helen Herman lowered her voice slightly, "Time is limited, I'll leave in a moment." ”

Matthew deliberately put on a look of disappointment, "Wouldn't you?

Helen Herman ignored his words at all and said, "I won you the opportunity to walk the red carpet at the premiere of the film you participated in......"
