Chapter 45 Ranking Very High

(Ask for a recommendation ticket)

After work in the morning, after Matthew handed over the work, he rushed to Burbank, came to Angels Agency, and first went to the front desk to find Amanda to explore the situation.

"It's all my fault." Amanda said apologetically, "Helen turned a corner and asked me a few questions, but I was unprepared and accidentally missed the point."

"It's okay, it's okay." Matthew quickly comforted, "We didn't do anything illegal or criminal, Helen will know it when she knows it."

Amanda turned her head and said, "Yes, I'm just helping you get the role. Anyway, Helen also said that whoever gets the male lead is the same."

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

"Is Helen here?" Matthew asked.

"Come on." Amanda pointed upstairs. "Waiting for you in the office. You go up."

Matthew nodded, walked around 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 and walked in, greeting Helen Herman who was sitting behind the desk familiarly, "Good morning, Helen."

Helen Herman pointed to the sofa, "Sit whatever you want. Water is still coffee."

"No need." Matthew was not thirsty now, he sat down in front of a single sofa, and asked, "I have something to do with me."

"Yesterday I went to see Michael Sheehan," Helen Herman asked, crossing her hands on her desk, "I've cancelled his contract with him, he's been yelling at you and Martin Jackson, what the hell is going on? What's the matter?"

Up to now, Matthew didn'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. I went there that night and found that he was plotting bad things and rejected him."

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

"Please, I also have a bottom line!" Matthew spread his hands, "I'm only interested in women! I feel disgusting when I think about it."

Whether Helen Herman believed it or not, he continued, "When I came down, I happened to find that Michael Sheehan was also looking for Martin Jackson. The next day Michael Sheehan invited me to lunch and showed me that he could take When it came to the male lead of the MV, he was walking weird, and I guess he made a deal with Martin Jackson."

Helen Herman lifted the black-rimmed glasses on her face, "Why did you win in the end?"

"I didn't want to lose this opportunity and made some efforts." Matthew didn't feel ashamed, and said even more grandly, "My hard work and some good luck finally got the current audition result."

Some things, Helen Herman has asked Amanda out of her mouth, but she is sure that Amanda knows only a small part of it.

"Be specific." She looked at Matthew.

"I heard from Amanda that Britney was the key to the audition." Most of what Matthew said was true, but some were false, "It happened that I have a friend who is an entertainment reporter, and I specifically asked about it. , I wanted to see how to impress Britney. A reporter friend told me that Britney and Christina Aguilera had a sharp conflict in private, and they were mortal enemies when they were in the Mickey Mouse Club. I asked Amanda for help. Outside of Britney's lounge door deliberately said I hate Christina Aguilera."

"The method is very low-level, and the effect is not bad." Helen Herman's tone was calm. "You surprise me, Matthew Horner."

Most of Hollywood's main roles are auditioned. Which one has no private operation and competition. The less famous the actor is, the competition is often fiercer. This guy is more suitable for development in Hollywood than she thought.

"You shouldn't let Amanda get involved," she said coldly.

"I don't want to either, but I can't find anyone else." Matthew plausibly said,

"You can't bring an entertainment reporter into the set, can you?"

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

Matthew reminded, "You are also the agent of all my competitors."

Helen Herman was speechless. Although she felt that Matthew was more suitable to work hard in this circle than others, she did not invest more resources and attention in him. After all, opportunities in this circle are more important than abilities. People with good potential can't make it in their entire life, and some people are confused but become famous overnight.

"Remember to notify me next time." Helen Herman didn't intend to dwell on this kind of thing. "You are now at the top of my client list."

Hearing what she said, Matthew tentatively said, "Isn't it number one?"

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

Matthew looked innocent, "Is their business related to me?"

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

Matthew was stunned for a moment, how could he ignore this! Wouldn't have provoked Michael Sheehan if I had thought of it sooner!

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

"You know how much it took me to get this down?" Helen Herman looked displeased.

Matthew clapped his palms with a look of anger, "Damn Michael Sheehan! If you want to die, you have to implicate me!"

Helen Herman is a little puzzled, "It's not that you are behind."

"No!" Of course Matthew would not admit it, "I want the male lead, and nothing else."

He really didn't expect Michael Sheehan to strike, and he strikes hard enough.

Having said that, he obviously didn't think carefully about this matter, and didn't even consider that it might affect the brokerage company and himself.

"Sure enough, it's a very low-level method." Matthew laughed at himself, "The head is still not enough."

Helen Herman didn't trust Matthew very much, Matthew could see it, and simply said, "You may not understand the mentality of a normal man. In my words, paying such a shameful price, but not getting it. When you get what you want, let alone beating people, killing people is possible."

Helen Herman was dubious and did not pursue it any further. The Angels broker terminated the contract with Michael Sheehan, and the record company took the opportunity to fire Martin Jackson. This is the end of the matter.

Moreover, she spent a lot of words, but once again confirmed that Matthew Horner is a more potential customer.

Perhaps, you can put more resources into him?

Seeing Helen Herman thinking, Matthew didn't speak any more excuses. He reflected on the several actions he planned to compete for the MV male lead. Looking back now, there are many loopholes, and there are even more ill-considered ones. If It's not luck, plus the foresight advantage over Britney Spears, that won't be the winner.

But it's all worth it in the end!

"You have to trust your agent." Helen Herman said suddenly, "My job is to get a job for you."

Matthew said with a serious face, "I have always trusted you. Helen, you must also trust me."

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

"I promise!" Matthew could see that Helen Herman was quite annoyed, and he needed this agent now, "I will definitely ask your opinion about anything I do in the future."

Helen Herman put on her glasses again, "Also, don't drag Amanda into this shit in the future, she's just helping me temporarily."

Matthew nodded seriously this time, "No way."

He looked at the clock on the wall, stood up and said, "It's time for me to take a class in North Hollywood."

"Go ahead." Helen Herman waved her hand, "Remember to study your character and script. If the crew has something to do, I will notify you in advance."

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

He was late when he arrived at the school due to his long time at Angel Agency.

Today's class is not David Astor, but a middle-aged woman, Matthew apologized, entered the classroom, and found that everyone was at a distance from each other, all standing in front of the mirror.

This class teaches how to control the muscles and subtle expressions of the face.

It was said in the previous course that an excellent actor can even control every muscle of the face, which requires a lot of long-term practice. There are many acting schools and courses in Los Angeles, and various genres and training methods are also very finely divided. Every seasoned actor has his own uniqueness.

Compared to other people in his class, Matthew is obviously behind in this regard. Many people who came to Hollywood as actors, such as Rachel McAdams next to him, actually found themselves in high school despite the influence of family background. interest, and began to join performance clubs.

In universities, in addition to professional performance schools, many universities also have very top drama clubs.

As we all know, the old American school clubs are quite influential.

Even without professional training in college, many students who find their interest in this area in high school have certain performance experience and ability.

These are incomparable to Matthew, who dropped out of school very early.

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

Standing in front of the mirror, he also practiced according to the requirements of a simple script.

In the morning, it ended in this seemingly boring training. After entering the industry for such a long time, Matthew truly felt that behind the seemingly beautiful scenery, there were also hard work that outsiders could not understand.

After class, Matthew rubbed his face and looked aside, Rachel McAdams was sorting out his textbooks.

"What's for lunch?" he asked directly, "I'll treat you."

Rachel McAdams smiled sweetly, "Get rich? So generous."
