Chapter 15
Hearing this question, Matthew turned his head and looked to the side. The first thing he noticed was a bitter face. This face is not only old-fashioned, but also very passer-by. If he hadn't seen it in many super blockbusters, he would definitely not believe in Hollywood. Superstars look like this.
"You're..." Matthew took a step back and pulled a little distance away so that he could see more clearly, "You're Matt Damon."
"Are you Matthew Horner?" Bitter Melon Face didn't answer, but acquiesced to Matthew's words.
Matthew nodded, "I am." He was surprised that Matt Damon came to him, "Are you looking for me?"
In the memory of the previous one, Matt Damon is an Oscar winner, and it seems that the coffee position is higher than Angelina Jolie.
"Yesterday, Winona may have had a little misunderstanding with you." Matt Damon seemed to be very polite. "I have been angry since I went back, and I asked her and she refused to say."
Matthew's eyes immediately showed a bit of precaution.
Matt Damon continued, "I just wanted to ask what happened, she was so angry."
"You and Miss Winona Ryder..." Matthew looked at Matt Damon.
"Winona is my girlfriend," said Matt Damon, who also looked at Matthew. "You and Miss Julie?"
Last night, Winona Ryder scolded the two as a pair of dogs and men.
Matthew shook his head, "I have nothing to do with Miss Julie."
"Sorry." Matt Damon smiled honestly, "It seems that I misunderstood."
But Matthew read something else from behind this seemingly simple and honest smile, "Speak straight."
Matt Damon is still smiling honestly, "I wonder if there is some misunderstanding between you and Winona?"
"Nothing..." Matthew wanted to explain, after all, this was Matt Damon, "Just a little thing, I..."
Having said that, he closed his mouth again, and why did he conflict with Winona Ryder? It can't be said at all! It would be bad luck to say it! He signed a non-disclosure contract!
"Huh? What?" Matt Damon looked expectant, his sincere passerby face was hard to refuse.
Matthew quickly changed the words, "It's just a trivial misunderstanding."
Matt Damon and Winona Ryder are boyfriend and girlfriend, and they wear a pair of pants, although in the information he has seen, this person is one of the most famous stars in Hollywood. , but what is it like in private, who can tell? What if he was going to pit himself? Once he said those things, he violated the non-disclosure agreement, and the huge liquidated damages could not afford to sell him a hundred times.
After only two days in the crew, Matthew has already seen the swordsmanship in Hollywood and knows that he must not be careless in doing things.
"A trivial misunderstanding?" Matt Damon still had a smile on his face, without any celebrity presence, "Since it's a minor misunderstanding, Mr. Horner is a gentleman, can you step back and say sorry to Winona What? In this way, the misunderstanding will be solved."
Matthew is also laughing cheerfully, "I'm just a little guy, a little acting, not a gentleman." He deliberately laughed at himself, "Many people say I'm a hillbilly from Texas."
The smile on Matt Damon's face gradually disappeared, and the bitter melon face gradually turned into a real bitter melon.
"It's not that I don't want to reconcile." Matthew didn't want to conflict with Matt Damon. "Some things, you'd better ask Miss Winona Ryder in person."
I vaguely remember that this Matt Damon and his good friends seem to have come together from the bottom, and they should not be the kind of arrogant people.
Matt Damon's bitter face is even more bitter. He really can't understand how a star like Winona Ryder, who is still a powerful producer on the crew, could have a conflict with a small extra, and finally I also suffered a loss, and I was so angry that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Matthew again. Apart from being a little more handsome, he was nothing special.
"I'll ask Winona." Matt Damon thought for a while, then said, "She's my girlfriend, if..."
He suddenly changed his tone, "I remember you, Matthew Horner."
Matthew can only smile, but fortunately, Matt Damon is not the kind of big star without brains and domineering, otherwise it will be trouble.
However, after thinking about it, Hollywood is so competitive, and it is impossible to eat with a slut face cutout, except for a few people with deep backgrounds, I am afraid that those who can climb up are not stupid.
The two said a few words in a calm manner. Matt Damon took the initiative to leave. As soon as he left, few people in the crew paid attention to Matthew. After all, it was just a small temporary performance.
After watching a scene, Matthew felt uncomfortable on his face, so he quickly left the studio and went to the makeup trailer to remove his makeup. He delayed this time in the studio, and the girlish makeup artist complained for a while. Matthew knew that the status of the extras in the crew was similar to those of the handymen, so he didn't say anything, took off his makeup and put on his own clothes, and left the Universal Studios shooting area.
After leaving Universal Studios, he called Dennis Coulter. The fat man was still trying to get in touch with the crew in the office area, saying that his salary would be credited soon, and he would be notified when the credit was reached.
Two hundred dollars wasn't a lot, and it wasn't a small number for Matthew.
For his job at Red Penguin, he was paid only $50 a day, which was just a little higher than the minimum wage in Los Angeles. With the night shift allowance, he couldn't even get $1,800 a month.
This job may be lost at some point. If the divorce between Angelina Jolie and Johnny Lee Miller goes into trouble, Johnny Lee Miller will definitely track down the source of the video. It's not difficult. Guessing that it will be related to him, when Johnny Lee Miller makes a complaint call, he will leave the Red Penguin company in a sullen way.
However, Matthew does not regret doing it, after all, it not only knocked on the door of Hollywood for him, but also got a role with two lines!
According to Dennis Coulter, most of the extras who come to Hollywood to pursue their dreams have not been able to get such an opportunity for a few years and can only serve as a backdrop.
Given the choice between wasting a few years and taking risks, most people would choose the latter.
Taking the bus to Hollywood Boulevard, which was still early for work, Matthew grabbed a casual lunch and wandered along Hollywood Boulevard, thinking about his next steps.
At present, he can be regarded as an experienced extra. In Dennis Coulter's words, it will be relatively easy to find a job again. Even a small role with lines, you can try to get it.
But the shooting this morning also let Matthew know that his professional ability is not generally poor, but very, very poor.
Next, professional training and study is a must.
Fortunately, Angelina Jolie has promised to help in this regard. This woman may have cramps in her head sometimes, but from his observation, she is still a relatively credible person.
Another is that he needs a new agent.
Although the power in the entertainment industry is normal, he himself has some power, but that fat man Dennis Kurt is too powerful!
Matthew believes that as long as it is profitable, even if the profit is not large, the fat man will not hesitate to sell him, and from yesterday's situation, when he needs it, Dennis Coulter also expects no superior.
What is such a broker going to do? Just a ticking time bomb.
If it wasn't for the conditions, Matthew would not want to cooperate with him at all.
Although he does not have the qualifications to choose now, in the memory of the previous one, there are many temporary service companies like Los Angeles, and he can definitely find another one.
And there is no need to worry about breach of contract. Extras, especially non-union actors, sign temporary contracts with such companies. When there is no job, they only file with them, and there will be no breach of contract.
For example, if he was still working on the cast of "The Girl Who Moved Soul" this time, it would be more troublesome for Matthew to change his manager, but after the work is over, there would be no problem.
After walking around Hollywood Boulevard for half an afternoon, Matthew was familiar with the environment. When he came to the vicinity of the company, he bought a few newspapers, greeted the front desk, entered the driver's lounge, and picked out the recruitment column to read.
This is also a precautionary measure. On the one hand, I keep reading every day, and at the same time, I see which industry has more people recruiting workers, and it is suitable for such people;
The previous Matthew was recruited by the newspaper and found Starlight Company, but unfortunately he met Dennis Coulter, who was the best.
After flipping through the newspapers, I didn't see any advertisements for the crew, but Matthew found three small agency companies to recruit extras, wrote down their phone numbers, and called them one by one. The replies from these companies were basically the same. Let Matthew In the past, I provided personal information, photos and resumes, and made a record in their company. If there is a suitable job, I will take the initiative to contact him.
Matthew planned to go to these three companies after work tomorrow.
Putting away the newspaper, he found that not having a car is really bad. The public transportation in Los Angeles is not developed, and it is far less than the country he used to live in. Not to mention the long wait for the bus, and it is difficult to meet taxis on the road. , unless you call in person, it is difficult to get a car.
Matthew wanted to buy a used car, but after considering the reality, he gave up.
Not to mention the lawyer of the tarot crew who has called him, Angelina Jolie has already agreed to find an acting training school that suits him, which must be a big expense, and the remaining money may not be enough.
Call tomorrow and ask that fat guy Dennis Coulter when he will get his $200. Don't show up until the money is in his hand.
