The music gradually subsided, and the villa was shrouded in darkness. Matthew got out from the side door and immediately turned off the DV camera. With the help of the light of the street light, he saw someone walking in front of him. He hurriedly lay behind a bush to avoid the security personnel. Then he put the DV into the handbag, covered it with clothes, looked around vigilantly, the surroundings were quiet, and hurriedly walked towards the gate of the manor.
In his head, the pictures he stole in the banquet hall of the villa flashed, and he couldn't help but sigh with admiration, "This is life!"
Johnny Lee Miller singled out six sexy beauties, this scene is really exciting!
"These bastards really know how to play!" After passing the fountain, Matthew stopped covering it up and walked out along the driveway. "One to six is a waste!"
He shook his head, these rich and famous Hollywood stars have a good life!
Soon, Matthew arrived at the gate of the manor and waved to the guard, "Thank you, man!"
It took only ten minutes before and after, but the guard had no doubts, nodded and said, "If you need to come pick up someone, I will notify you in advance."
"Good! Good!" Matthew responded quickly, "No problem."
Following the small door next to the guard, he left the manor and walked towards the Ford nanny car. This trip went smoothly without any danger.
Coming to the side of the car, Matthew opened the car door and went directly to the driver's seat. Angelina Jolie immediately looked at the handbag in his hand, "Did you take a picture?"
Matthew didn't answer, but took out the DV camera, turned on the small screen, turned to Angelina Jolie, turned it on and pressed the play button.
"Okay!" Angelina Jolie's face was very ugly, "I'll let someone bring money over."
After she finished speaking, she took out her phone and was about to make a call, but Matthew stopped her by saying, "Wait, Miss Julie!"
Angelina Jolie looked this way, her thick eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Matthew turned off the DV camera and said weakly, "In addition to the five thousand dollars, I have a very small request."
He glanced at Julie and said as softly as he could, "It's really small."
Angelina Jolie looked at the DV camera in Matthew's hand and said coldly, "Speak!"
"That, Miss Julie." Matthew thought about his words, so as not to beat the chickens, "I am, I am also an actor, a little actor without any fame, can't compare with a big man like you, and I... already It's been a long time since I got a job."
Angelina Jolie's face was even more gloomy than before, and she seemed to want to speak. Matthew quickly said, "Please listen to me, please!"
Regardless of whether Angelina Jolie listens or not, he speaks faster, "I just want to ask you to help me get a job when the time is right."
"Impossible!" Angelina Jolie refused directly, "I'll let someone bring you money, you're too greedy!"
Matthew knew that she must have misunderstood, and said quickly, "I'm not asking for a character with a name and a surname, nor a character with lines, I just want to appear in the camera, even as a background board!"
He said this very carefully, his tone was extremely sincere, and he used a tone of request, for fear that Julie would take it as coercion.
You can't make a fat man in one bite, and Angelina Jolie can't agree to her excessive demands. Although this crazy woman doesn't have the same brain as ordinary people, she is not a lunatic after all.
He thought about it carefully, and just wanted to take this opportunity tonight to take the first step to truly become a Hollywood actor. The memory of the previous one clearly told him that this first step, which seemed to have a low threshold, was actually not good. Go, come to Los Angeles with the dream of an actor like him, but don't even have the chance to act as a background board,
Lots of people are there.
The beginning is always difficult. This is what Matthew understands. Just like waiting in the labor market, people like to use experienced people for jobs with a little technical content!
Although I don't know much about Hollywood, it shouldn't be difficult for a star like Angelina Jolie to come up with a role that doesn't even have lines and just needs to act as a background board.
Angelina Jolie sat there, didn't speak for a while, just kept looking at Matthew and found that this guy was smarter than she thought.
"He's greedy." This was her impression, "but he knew enough was enough."
A small character who acts as a background board is really not difficult for her, and she doesn't even need to speak. For example, in this film that is being filmed, let the assistant ask the casting director to mention it. After all, she is the second heroine. !
Is it more important to bring the husband who betrayed her into disrepute and suffer in a future divorce lawsuit, or is such a trivial request more important?
"Heh..." Angelina Jolie suddenly laughed.
A few years ago, not only would she not agree, but she would ask the bodyguard to come over and take care of him. Even if she couldn't get the content of the filming, people would grow up slowly, and she could not always be that crazy, The confused little girl, as she grows older, her head has become more and more clear.
Otherwise, how could the business have been steadily rising in the past few years?
Angelina Jolie said slowly, "Do you have a business card?"
Hearing this, Matthew quickly found paper and pen, wrote down the phone and handed it to Angelina Jolie. Jolie stuffed it into her pocket, took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, "Bring the money here."
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he might have seized this opportunity.
However, he immediately became more vigilant, because a sturdy white man walked in front of him. Fortunately, the white man gave Angelina Jolie a paper package and quickly left.
Angelina Jolie opened the paper bag, and inside was a stack of brand new bills, which were obviously specially prepared. She didn't say much, and threw the bills over. Matthew caught the bills and returned the DV camera. she.
Putting away the DV camera, Angelina Jolie was about to get out of the car and leave, but suddenly turned around and asked curiously, "Aren't you worried that I won't say anything?"
"Worry." Matthew said honestly, "I can't help but bet on your character."
The status of the two is too different. Julie and the bodyguard are here, maybe the bodyguard is still carrying a gun, what can he do? This is simply an unequal verbal agreement, and he knew it from the very beginning. If Julie just said and didn't do it, she could only admit that she was unlucky.
Matthew can only bet that this matter is not worth mentioning to Angelina Jolie, it takes no effort at all, and he got five thousand dollars, even if Angelina Jolie lied to him, he actually earned it.
Probably got what she wanted, Angelina Jolie will be in a better mood, "As long as you don't talk nonsense."
Without video data, nonsense is useless, especially for Hollywood, which star has no true or false rumors, as long as there is no evidence to prove it, it will always be a rumor.
Matthew made a zipper gesture, "I promise!"
Of course he won't talk nonsense now. Maybe without Angelina Jolie's help, if he continues to wait, there will be opportunities in the future. After all, the threshold for being an extra is not high, but what he has seen and heard today makes him really not want to wait. Now, desperate for a better life, like Johnny Lee Miller on the estate.
As long as Angelina Jolie can keep her promise, it will greatly speed up the process.
Although he has changed to another country, Matthew believes that it is better to have a network of connections.
Angelina Jolie got out of the car and quickly disappeared into the night. Matthew guessed that she would divorce Johnny Lee Miller before long. Huge property damage.
"Is it too rude to do this?" Matthew remembered his professional ethics at this time, and then shook his head, "A little guy like me, if you want to get ahead, you can't be rigid!"
As for professional ethics? It's not too late to talk until you have money.
He took out the five thousand dollars, slammed it on his hand, and made a crisp sound, which was very pleasant and very pleasant.
"The feeling of being rich..." Matthew's fingers gently rubbed Franklin on the banknotes, "It's really good!"
After collecting the five thousand dollars, he sat and read the magazine. Matthew checked the time, closed the car door, and went to sleep in the chair at the back. When he woke up, the sky was already bright, and he took a bottle of mineral water. After getting out of the car and simply gargling and washing his face, after a short wait, the guard at the gate of the manor came over and told him to pick him up.
Matthew drove to the front door of the manor villa, and six girls with disheveled clothes got into the car one after another. They smelled of alcohol, cigarettes, and some other indescribable smells. not sleeping.
These female models sat on the seats without a word. Even Rachel, who had been chatting with him all the way yesterday, collapsed on the seats so tired.
Matthew started the car and shook his head slightly. These girls looked beautiful, but in reality...
He stopped thinking about it, drove the girls back one by one, and then returned to the company to return the keys according to regulations. The day's work was considered complete.
After work, he immediately went to the nearest real estate agency. Now he has some money in his hand, he is ready to rent a suitable residence.
He had a good rest last night. Matthew was full of energy. He went to three real estate agents in a row and saw seven ordinary single apartments. Finally, he rented an old apartment building in an ordinary residential area outside Ximu District. Single room that can be moved in with a bag.
This room is very small, less than 20 square meters, with a miniature independent bathroom, because the old walls are falling off, and the monthly rent is only 400 US dollars. Matthew paid the fee for half a year at one time, and he has a foothold in Los Angeles. point.
In the evening, he continued to drive for the Red Penguin Company, and his work was similar, and it did not affect the rest at night, and he could still have energy to do other things the next day.
When he got off work again in the morning, Matthew had just walked out of the Red Penguin company when the phone rang.
He pressed the answer button, and a professional female voice came from the receiver, "Hello, I'm Miss Julie's assistant Vanessa..."
