(Please recommend votes! Please recommend votes!)

"Have you read today's newspaper?"

In the office, Helen Herman saw Matthew sitting in the chair opposite and said, "The Gladiator received more than $34 million in North America on the first weekend, which is very good."

Matthew shrugged, “Will it help me?”

"A little bit," Helen Hermann told the truth, "not particularly big."

"Let's talk about the new job." Matthew was more concerned about this.

Helen Hermann changed the topic, "Hollywood has many films launched projects every month, most of which recruit actors from the outside world, and there are quite a few roles suitable for you to play." She took out a piece of information from the drawer and pushed it to Matthew, "This is something I asked the company to collect, there are also commercial films and independent productions."

Matthew understood her subtext, "It doesn't matter if you are in these crews?"

"Most of them are not..." Helen Hermann frowned slightly, and then said solemnly, "Even if there is, it is impossible to use it casually. Some favors have been used once, and they will no longer exist and must be kept at critical moments."

Matthew is not a rookie who has just entered society and can understand Helen Herman's words.

Helen Hermann said, "I will try my best to get a job for you, but you will also do your best in the audition and other aspects."

It is impossible for every character to solve the problem with her father's relationship back then. Many Hollywood crews are indeed in chaos and there are various transactions, but among some crews, auditions and actor performance are also key factors that determine the role's ownership.

"Let's talk about the next work." Helen Hermann said directly, "One of the crew that has recently recruited actors, I have selected three of you first, namely DreamWorks' "Real Fame", Universal Pictures' "Return of the Mummy" and "Fast and Furious".

Matthew has never heard of the first film, but he knows the last two films. He has watched the first two films "Mummy" and the last few films "Fast and Furious". He remembers that the box office is very good, and they are both examples of success in commercial movies, especially "Fast and Furious 7". What was the name of the male protagonist at that time? The film company used his death as a promotional and promotional service, which was overwhelming.

He had no impression of DreamWorks' "Almost Fame".

If you can get the main characters in "Return of the Mummy" and "Fast and Furious", you will definitely be famous!

It seems to know what Matthew is thinking, Helen Hermann added, "The protagonist cannot be obtained, we are going to fight for the main supporting role."

Seeing Matthew nodding, she said, "I have studied the situation of these three crews. According to the difficulty of getting the role and your future development, DreamWorks' "Almost Fame" is our priority."

This was beyond Matthew's expectations, and he couldn't help asking, "Why is it not "The Return of the Mummy" and "Fast and Furious"?"

"The Return of the Mummy is the sequel to the big-selling movie "The Mummy", and even a supporting role is fiercely competitive." Helen Hermann obviously has researched it. "Fast and Furious is a non-mainstream drag racing movie. The supporting role of such a film will not make your career improve too much, it is just an alternative."

She also explained, "The Almost Fame was originally about to be filmed last year, but it has been delayed by funding issues. DreamWorks hopes that this film can catch up with the next awards season, putting out a lot of resources and raising $60 million in funds for filming. This film involves bands and rock, and itself is more likely to attract industry attention."

Helen Hermann coughed in a low voice, "The producer of this film is DreamWorks. According to the feedback from Eric Pock, your professional and diligent performance on the crew of "Brothers" has been unanimously recognized by the producer, which is conducive to your participation in the audition of "Almost Fame"!"

"Also!" She pointed to Matthew's flaws, "You also need a role to hone your acting skills. I don't ask you how good your acting skills are, but you must not be too bad!"

"Then..." Matthew still didn't give up, "Where is "The Return of the Mummy" and "Fast and Furious"?"

"I have prepared three-point information for you. In addition to the crew of "Almost Fame", I will also submit it to the crew of "Return of the Mummy" and "Fast and Furious". "Helen Hermann does not object to Matthew's participation in these films. After all, it is also an opportunity for actors like him. "If you can pass the audition of three crews and the schedule does not conflict, you can also participate in the shooting of these two films."

She raised a finger, "However, from now on, you have to prioritize preparing for the audition of the role of "Almost Fame". A supporting actor in this film is the most likely role we can get. My work will also be placed in negotiations with this crew, and the other two crews will only submit your information."

Matthew knew very well that Helen Hermann had never been a talkative person. He said so much to tell him that the supporting actor in "Almost Famous" is the most likely to get it.

The other two crews looked beautiful, but Matthew knew that if the characters couldn't get the hands, these two films were not as valuable to him as "The Soul-Edit Girl".

Now only the crew chooses his position, so how can he chooses his position?

"The character you want to audition..." Helen Herman raised his hand and pointed at the information in front of Matthew, "All of them are here, go back and have a good look."

The two talked about work for a while. Matthew picked up the information provided by Helen Hermann and said, "Is there anything else? If it's okay, I'll leave first."

"Don't leave first." Helen Hermann helped her black-bordered glasses. "I have someone collect information about "Almost Fame" and characters. I will come back in the afternoon. You can wait for him to come back to get the information before leaving."

The phone rang at this time, she answered it for a while, and said, "Okay, I understand."

Helen Hermann put down the phone and said to Matthew, "Your last $20,000 in payment is received, go to the financial signing."

Matthew picked up the information, left Helen Herman's office, and went to the finance office on the same floor. After signing, he asked the finance department to directly intercept the broker's commission of two thousand dollars and the $10,000 liquidated damages paid to the crew of "Tao Tarot Cards", and transferred the remaining $8,000 to the account.

It was only 10 o'clock in the morning, and Matthew was not sitting in the company waiting, so he simply took a car to the used car market. He was lucky. He was still optimistic that the second-hand Ford was still there that day, so he bargained with the boss and finally won the white Ford for $4,500.

He worked as an apprentice in car repair for a while and had a certain understanding of the car. Although this second-hand Ford model is a bit old, it is generally not bad and worth the money.

After completing the procedures and finding a place to have lunch, Matthew drove his first car back to the Angel Brokerage Company and browsed online news in the lounge. There were news of the stock market crash everywhere. There were countless people going bankrupt, and there were many people jumping off the building. It seemed that America was experiencing a huge economic disaster.

He doesn't understand the stock market and knows nothing about things like indexes. He assumes that he is watching the fun, but after watching it, he is also a little scared. The risk of stocks is too high.

Matthew shook his head, turned off the web page, and went to read entertainment news. Now the hot spot of entertainment news is undoubtedly the divorce battle between Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. The once loving couple attacked each other and seemed to have become enemies.

"This is Hollywood..." he sighed.

According to his understanding, long-term marriage is simply a luxury in Hollywood, and the love of most Hollywood stars always comes and goes quickly.

Matthew didn't think much about it. He had no experience in this area and only understood one truth - cherish what he saw!

As for the future, who can tell the future exactly?

After reading the news for a while, Matthew remembered his previous plan and specially registered a blog. As soon as he was about to write something, someone came to inform him that the person who collected the information was back.

Matthew got a thick stack of information, greeted Helen Hermann, drove back to Westwood District, and immediately opened the information Helen Hermann gave him.

The top of this information is the situation and character introduction of the crew of "Almost Fame", which highlights a supporting actor named Russell Hammond, which is the role that Matthew needs to fight for.

The information for "Real Fame" is below the information for "Return of the Mummy", and the following are "Fast and Furious" and some other small projects.

From the order of the data, we can also see the difference between Helen Hermann's primary and secondary.

Matthew already trusted Helen Herman in business. He first picked up the information about "Almost Fame" and then carefully looked it through.

This is a film about rock bands and tours. The specific content does not include it. It only states that the character Russell Hammond, who Matthew fought for, is the band's guitarist, and is also entangled with the band's male lead singer and female assistant.

In other words, this is a dual-sex and love character.

According to Hollywood's mainstream aesthetics, it does require certain acting skills to play such a role.

In addition, the information also shows that the crew has identified two actors, namely Kate Hudson, who plays the heroine and Jason Lee, who plays the band's lead singer.

Helen Herman also personally marked Kate Hudson with a pen, who is the daughter of Hollywood veteran actress Gotty Han.

After thinking about the information for a while, Matthew felt that such a role was really difficult for him.

Then, he put the information aside and took out the information about "The Return of the Mummy". Like "Gladiator", this is a project invested by Universal Pictures. The Mummy series is a monster movie brand that Universal Pictures has founded for many years. The previous work of "The Return of the Mummy" can be said to be a reboot. After a great success, this sequel naturally appeared.
