Watching Britney's car drive away, Matthew turned around and walked into the small building of the Angel's agency, and found Helen Hermann standing near the front desk, as if waiting for him.

"Let's go." Helen Hermann saw Matthew and immediately walked over and greeted him, "Let's find a place to have lunch first, and then go to Warner Studios."

Matthew turned around and followed her out of the building, "So anxious?"

Helen Herman nodded, "We will be there at least one o'clock."

"The crew is so urgent?" Matthew is in a good mood now, "Take us very seriously?"

"You're thinking too much." Helen Hermann walked towards a restaurant on the left first. "The crew's signing team will sign contracts with many actors today."

She waited for Matthew to follow and said, "And any accident could happen before signing the contract."

When the two entered the restaurant, Helen Herman ordered a few dishes casually. Matthew asked curiously, "Will the crew even go back on their word?"

"This is not uncommon in Hollywood." Helen Hermann returned the menu to the waiter, "So, we must complete the negotiations with the crew as soon as possible, and it is best to sign the contract this afternoon."

Matthew had no objection to this and asked, "Treatment..."

This is the most basic job of an agent, Helen Hermann said, "I will fight for you the best treatment within the scope of the crew."

While waiting for the food to be served, the two of them kept talking and chatting about work.

Several simple foods were delivered by the waiters one after another, and Helen Hermann and Matthew continued to chat and eat.

"In the crew, you have to find a way to handle interpersonal relationships well." Helen Hermann said some precautions, "It doesn't matter to the actors, but the director, film crew and production team should not be casually guilty. The movements they arrange, the shots they shoot, and the choices they make during post-production will directly affect the actor's performance in the film."

After all, Matthew was not a rookie in the past few months. After studying at the Los Angeles Performing Arts School for a while, he naturally knew that the performance of an actor was not only based on himself, but also directly affected and even restricted by other factors.

For example, in photography, the angle of a lens may show two completely different effects.

The director has a huge influence. Even if he only serves as the director of the filming commander, the on-site rehearsal will greatly affect the final performance of an actor.

The most direct thing is that when the actor's acting is in good condition, the director keeps calling for a stop, and the actor will inevitably be affected. Maybe the good condition will be interrupted or even disappear without a trace.

Not to mention the producers, the choices of the cameras when editing are very serious.

Of course, in most cases, Hollywood practitioners are very professional and ethical, after all, it is related to their jobs.

But Matthew judged others by himself, and felt that things like human hearts and professional ethics were sometimes unreliable.

He agrees with Helen Hermann's words very much, and it will be beneficial or harmful to him if they can take better care of the work related to him.

Matthew communicated his ideas with Helen Hermann, who nodded to him, "If you have such ideas, it will be beneficial to your future career development."

She reminded, "There is another point that people from these departments may become real directors or key producers of a project at any time, an inconspicuous assistant director, and later become directors who take the lead alone, which often appears in Hollywood."

"So, we have a good relationship with these people now." Matthew has a lot of experience in dealing with interpersonal relationships. "When you see each other again in the future, can you speak?"

Helen Herman said seriously, "Interpersonal relationships are still very useful in Hollywood. The interpersonal network is woven bit by bit, especially for actors like your background."

Matthew understood the meaning behind this sentence. He did not have any outstanding background. If he wanted to get along well with others, it was not enough to rely solely on Helen Hermann, the agent. He often had to play in person.

"In fact, there is a better way..." Helen Hermann suddenly looked Matthew up and down with a strange look, "and it's simple and practical."

Matthew felt a creepy feeling, and after thinking about it, he understood what Helen Herman meant, and said directly, "I am a low bottom line, but I still have a bottom line."

He emphasized, "I would rather continue to be a pauper!"

With Michael Sheehn in front of him, Helen Hermann was not surprised, "So, I said you have to find a way to handle your relationships well."

Matthew put down his knife and fork, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth, and asked, "Does many people go this way?"

"For actors without any background, both men and women, this is the easiest way." Helen Hermann said without hesitation, "Although it may not be a common phenomenon, there must be many in the circle, and even some famous stars come here."

She looked at Matthew and said, "Many actors are like you, from poor families and have not even finished high school. They do not have rich dads to use money to teach them the way. The only thing they can exchange is their bodies. They do not have other work skills and knowledge. If they fail, they may have to be waiters in restaurants. Many people think that devoting themselves to a performance opportunity is a very valuable thing.

Helen Herman shrugged again, "Not that everyone is like this. Some people play roles that are not very competitive, but unexpectedly become popular. Some people will be lucky and have not met people with special needs. Some people are talented and dominate thousands of competitors. This is all possible."

In fact, Matthew, who has been following entertainment gossip, knows that looking at the entertainment industry around the world, this is not a hidden rule at all.

He remembered watching a certain entertainment push. There was a sentence in Marilyn Monroe's autobiography: "Yes, I'm on the bed with the producer. Everyone is like that. If you don't do it, there is another girl waiting outside the door. I don't remember how many times I squat down and unzip them..."

Of course, this is a gossip that can be pushed online, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Helen Hermann finished eating, took the initiative to buy the order, looked at his watch, and said, "Let's go."

The two left the restaurant and came to the parking lot in front of the office building. Matthew took SH Ren Herman's car and rushed to Warner Studios.

Before one o'clock, they arrived at the audition studio where the crew of "Brothers" was located on time. Under the guidance of a staff member, they walked into the office where the signing team was located.

Just like last time she had an MV crew with Britney, Matthew handed over all the negotiations to Helen Hermann, after all, she is the real professional.

The reason why the crew asked the actors to come over is not just about finding an agent. In addition to negotiations, there are several other things to communicate.

Before the signing team negotiated with Helen Hermann, they made a few statements to Matthew. In fact, nothing big happened, just what Eric Pock said before. Starting from November, all the actors of the main characters will fly to the UK for a month and a half military training. The shooting will last from January to July or August next year, and all the shots will be shot in Europe.

Matthew finally got this role so naturally he would not object.

Then there was the negotiation between Helen Hermann and the signing team. In this regard, Matthew acted completely as an observer. Just like the last negotiation, Helen Hermann almost took out all the treatments of actors one by one, such as makeup, assistants, guarantees, etc. Since the filming was in the UK, the actors had to stay in a hotel, and she also won a separate room for Matthew.

The most important aspect of the pay is that because the number of episodes of the role of Ronald Spears is still uncertain, Helen Hermann simply packaged the salary of the entire series and asked for a $100,000 reward of ten episodes.

She has done a special evaluation. This is an epic TV series, and most of the expenses are spent on filming and production. This is also one of the reasons why less well-known actors are enabled. This way, the actor's pay can be compressed to a lower proportion range. A hundred thousand dollars is basically the upper limit of the crew.

However, one of the purposes of the signing group negotiations is to reduce the actor's pay as much as possible. Compared with unknown actors like Matthew, the crew has an overwhelming advantage.

To be honest, it is not difficult for them to kick Matthew off and find an actor with the right conditions, but it is not easy for Matthew to find such a job again.

It was inevitable that Helen Hermann would make concessions in the negotiations. In the end, the two sides reached an agreement on $60,000. According to Hollywood conventions, the pay was paid in three times, namely after Matthew joined the crew, before the series officially started filming and after all productions were completed.

The conditions were negotiated and the contract was drawn up. Under the witness of the representatives of the Actors Union, the two parties signed the contract in triplicate.

Matthew is now a member of the Actors Union. In addition to the fact that he and the crew each retain a contract, there is another contract to be registered with the Actors Union.

Then, he went to the production team to get the script and shooting plan.

After getting all this out and leaving the studio, Matthew finally breathed a sigh of relief. The two parties signed a contract. As long as there were no major changes, the role of Ronald Spears must belong to him.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you something."

As he walked out of the studio, Helen Herman remembered something, "I had contacted Elena Boyal and convinced her to work with us. You can continue to contact her in the future, but no matter what you do, you must notify me first."

"No problem." Matthew nodded first, remembering something, "You said last time that I'm in love, I'll tell you."
