Chapter 27 Pretty shameless
"I don't think so..."
Seeing that the two sides were about to have a big fight, the bearded man took the initiative to stand up and mix up, "Gor, where are you, I sincerely apologize."
He is the executive producer of the project and definitely doesn't want things to make a big deal. He turned around and said, "Helen, and..."
"Matthew..." Matthew smiled at him.
"Helen, and Matthew," continued the bearded man, "Everyone works in the same crew and works hard in the same circle, and there is no conflict that cannot be resolved."
Matthew knew very well that if things got a big deal, he would offend Ridley Scott and even Universal Pictures behind the crew. That would be too unprofitable and stupid.
"Yes." Matthew nodded directly.
Helen Hermann was just talking, but seeing Matthew, the party involved, naturally would not object.
The bearded man turned to look at the two British people, "Gor, what about you? If you insist, I can take you to see the surveillance, which should be within the surveillance range."
Hearing this, Gore glanced at Macon, and the guy's eyes flashed. He knew that continuing to entangle would only be even more unfavorable to him.
"Okay!" Gore nodded.
But Macon stubbornly yelled at Matthew, "Want me to apologize to him?"
Gore glared at Macon fiercely. He only knew that this guy was impulsive in his personality, so why didn't he realize he was a fool with a problem?
"I..." Macon hesitated for a moment, but still didn't want to apologize.
"What do you want?" Gore leaned over and warned in a low voice, "If this matter is big, the American-led crew will not use you again!"
Macon gritted his teeth and looked at Matthew. Matthew stood opposite him and was also smiling at him.
"Yes...I'm sorry." Macon squeezed out a sentence from his teeth.
"What?" Matthew made a tilted action, "You said too low, I didn't hear it."
Macon almost burst into anger, feeling that the palm prints on his face hurt even more. He wanted to turn his head and walk away, but he didn't dare. He was so angry that he scolded discriminatory words and took action first. If he was really complained to the actor union in Britain and the United States, it would probably be quite troublesome.
He closed his eyes, forcibly imagined Matthew opposite him as a stone, and said loudly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"
"It's okay." Matthew waved his hand casually, "A little misunderstanding."
Macon felt that his lungs had exploded, and he had a little misunderstanding? Then he even slapped himself with two big mouths so hard?
He apologized, he was not going to stay here, so he turned around and wanted to leave.
But Matthew suddenly called him, "Mr. Macon, wait!"
Helen Hermann didn't know what Matthew was going to do, so he took a step towards him and said in a low voice, "This is Ridley Scott's crew, don't go too far."
"Don't worry." Matthew blinked.
"What else do you want to do?" Macon suddenly regretted being involved in such a person, "I apologized."
"Hey, you haven't apologized to them yet!" Matthew said, pointing to the extras, "Your discriminatory words have hurt them too!"
"Yes! Yes!" said the quickest-responsive one of the extras, "You scolded us in!"
Others who watched the show were fun and shouted, "We are all members of the Actors Union! If you don't apologize, we will go to the union to complain to you!"
"Apologize quickly!"
"Are you a man? You dare not act like that!"
Macon looked at his agent Gore helplessly. Gore had no good idea, so he nodded slightly.
"I'm sorry, everyone."
Macon felt extremely uncomfortable when apologizing to these insignificant little people, and tears in his eyes were rolling back and forth, as if he could cry at any time, "I sincerely apologize to you for my inappropriate remarks!"
A pre-show waved carelessly, "I accept it."
Another one showed off a big shot, "I forgive you."
Seeing this, Helen Herman felt that it was almost done, so he lowered his head to Matthew, "Let's go."
Matthew achieved his goal, and there was no need to continue to get entangled. He followed Helen Hermann and walked outside the set.
Leaving the set and setting on the road back to town, Helen Hermann suddenly asked, "Is it interesting?"
"What?" Matthew was stunned for a moment, then figured out what she meant, and said, "It was him who started to scold people, and it was him who hit people. I just protected myself."
He asked tentatively, "There won't be any trouble, right?"
Helen Hermann shook his head slowly, "What trouble can you have? The fault is not on you, you can stop at your best."
"I think." Matthew said deliberately as he walked, "this thing must be given face to the crew, and he cannot do it by nature."
"Ha..." Helen Hermann smiled, "You know a lot."
Matthew looked at the town not far away and said, "I have never received higher education, I am not smart, but I am not a fool either."
The two walked into the town together. Helen Hermann suddenly turned into a coffee shop. Matthew had to follow him. They found a table next to the window to sit down, ordered coffee casually, and continued the topic just now.
Matthew asked again, "Will the crew pursue that British guy?"
"No." Helen Hermann shrugged, "You are just two little actors. As long as you don't make a big deal, they won't bother with it."
"That's right." Matthew also felt that such a large crew would not have the ability to care about these trivial matters. If there were too many people, it would be easy to have conflicts. If you had to care about these trivial matters, you wouldn't have to film. However, he was still a little curious, "Those big-name stars will also have conflicts when filming, right?"
Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder were seen by him, “Will they do it?”
"It's hard to say." Helen Herman thought for a while and said, "Sometimes too. I forgot that in 1990 or 1990, Julia Roberts was very dissatisfied with Steven Spielberg on the set and wanted to do it... To be precise, he had already done it, but was stopped by the staff."
Matthew immediately asked, "Julia Roberts must be in trouble, right?"
Helen Herman shook his head, "Who knows? But in the next few years, Julia Roberts did not have a big hit, and it even disappeared for a while."
"But she is still popular now!" Matthew sighed, "It's so popular!"
It is no exaggeration to say that Julia Roberts of this era is the number one Hollywood sister and a synonym for Hollywood female stars.
"So..." Helen Hermann picked up the coffee cup and said before drinking it, "In this circle, strength and opportunity are very important."
Matthew also drank a sip of coffee, but he couldn't get used to this taste, and felt that the tea from the past was more suitable for him.
He put down his coffee cup and was about to turn to the point. Helen Hermann brought him to this quiet cafe, not to discuss Hollywood old gossip.
"You have something to ask me?" he asked directly.
"Well." Helen Herman nodded and lowered his coffee cup. "I think you have the potential to be a real actor."
Matthew laughed and said bluntly, "Thank you! Many people think so."
Helen Hermann looked at Matthew and quickly summarized the impression he left on himself: he was thick-skinned, knew how to be conscious, was cruel and ruthless, had no profound qualities, but had the shrewdness of a small person. The most important point was quite shameless.
This can be said to be an important condition for being able to make a name for itself in this circle.
Perhaps, this is a craftable material.
Among the dozens of extras who came this time, Matthew Horner was the only one who could leave a deeper impression on her. In fact, since he recommended Matthew to play the role of the Barbarian Leader, Helen Hermann made the decision.
Looking at Matthew, Helen Hermann said lightly, "Sign up a long-term contract with me."
Matthew thought about it for a second, then nodded, "Okay!"
Before signing the contract, Helen Hermann had some things to know, she asked, "Tell me your resume carefully."
"I was born in a slum near Dallas, Texas..." Matthew said naturally of the previous experience. "My mother died of drug overdose, and my father disappeared when I was fourteen years old. I dropped out of school since then. Basically, I was supporting myself, sending newspapers, picking up garbage, working as a repairman, and the longest job I worked was a construction worker, a coolie."
"Sounds very inspiring." Helen Hermann interjected.
"It's OK," Matthew shrugged and continued, "Last year, some people thought I was in a good shape and said Hollywood was a good way out. I came to Los Angeles and filed a case at an agency called Starlight, but I never had a chance."
He roughly said, "So I met an agent who said I could be a big star, so I signed a film contract with them."
"What film appointment?" Helen Hermann asked extremely seriously.
"That's the kind of movie." Matthew was a little embarrassed, "I'm the leading actor in the romantic action movie."
Helen Hermann frowned, "What kind of film have you made?"
If she had made such a movie, she would not give him a long appointment, and she would not be able to invest the resources in him, as it would only be wasted.
"No!" Matthew shook his head quickly, "I regretted it before the filming started, and then ran away."
Helen Hermann nodded slightly and asked, "They didn't cause trouble for you?"
Matthew gently hammered the table, "I've found it! I'm still chasing me and asking for a penalty for liquidated damages?"
He felt good about himself, "I think those guys are unwilling to give up on me and want to drag me back and continue to make romantic action movies! Especially that agent!"
"You're thinking too much." Helen Hermann had his own judgment. "They just want money. How much is the liquidated damages?"
Chapter completed!
