Chapter 2 $50,000

Sitting blankly on the chair, more memories appeared in Matthew's head, which also made him confirm that what the crew was going to shoot was a romantic action movie!

More importantly, the previous one not only knowingly and voluntarily, but also signed a formal contract!

As for why, of course it's for the money!

Also, the agent fooled him, saying that this is the road to Hollywood and the back door to Hollywood movies!

Matthew couldn't help rolling his eyes. Even someone like him who didn't know Laomei knew that after making such a film, how could he be a Hollywood star again? I'm afraid that one is not clear, but is covered by money!

The previous one came to Los Angeles for a few months, and his life was very bad. He wanted to be an actor and couldn't even find a background role. The money is young and the poor have short ambitions. In addition, the agent he met was all messed up, and his appearance He is very predictable and even more predictable, just like many young people, his head is hot and he has embarked on this road of no return!

No, it should be ready to go, isn't this the shooting has not started yet?

Thinking of this, Matthew is also relieved. If this kind of film is really made and distributed widely, where will there be face to face in the future?

For a person like him with no culture and no skills, being an actor may be a way out, but being an actor like this is definitely a dead end!

Matthew would rather be smashed into the street with a hammer than star in such a film!

After confirming this, and looking at the body wearing only one pair of big pants, Matthew looked for it in the dressing room. Combining the memory in his head, he quickly took out his clothes and changed them without hesitation.

This is a somewhat old denim suit, and it turned white after washing, but Matthew felt at ease when he wore it, and when he changed his clothes, he also discovered a little, why did the agent fool the previous one? guy.

Because his conditions are really good, he is tall and strong, his appearance is sunny and tough, and he has a dream of becoming a star...

More importantly, the talent is unique, and the inherent capital is not ordinary!

Boom! Boom! thump...

The hurried knock on the door sounded again, and the voice I heard before came in through the door again, "Matthew! What are you doing?"

The voice seemed a little angry, "I didn't say, come out in fifteen minutes, now..."

Matthew walked over, opened the door, and glanced at the bald white man with glasses outside. The relevant information immediately appeared in his mind. This was Maurice, the Flicker's agent.

"x-on:##!"

Seeing Matthew wearing the clothes he came in, the bald man named Morris first scolded something starting with F, then came in and closed the door, staring, "What are you doing?"

"I quit!" Matthew said directly.

Morris' eyes widened, as if he couldn't understand Matthew's words. "What did you say? Don't use your bloody Texas hillbilly accent!"

What Matthew blurted out just now was a non-Chinese non-English sentence that was very awkward even to him. At this moment, he could not help coughing twice, and after a simple adjustment, he said, "I...I...Say...I Don't do it."

Obviously, he needs to get used to American English.

"You quit?" Morris was just joking as Matthew. "Don't be long-winded, change your clothes quickly, the whole crew is waiting for you."

"I said..." Matthew adjusted again, feeling that he could speak more smoothly, and put on a very serious tone, "I quit! This is not a joke!"

Morris looked up at Matthew's face and confirmed that it was true, his eyes instantly turned cold, "Are you crazy? This is not your driver's job, you can quit with words! You have a contract with the crew, if you break the contract... "

His voice turned cold, "I want to accompany a lot of money!"

"I have no money!" Matthew had checked just now, and there were only dozens of dollars in the wallet in his pocket.

"Then stop talking nonsense,

Stop fooling around! "Morris's words gradually softened. "This contract, you can get eight thousand dollars!" Your conditions are so good, you will definitely become a big star and make a lot of money! It's not a problem to get $50,000 or even $100,000 for a film in the future! "

As an agent who seduces young people by cheating, Morris knows how to impress these young people, "With money, you no longer have to be a driver to send female models to others! You can let others send female models to you to play with. As long as you have money, you can do anything you want, and now the opportunity is in front of you. If you miss this opportunity, you won't have it again!"

His eyes moved down and landed between Matthew's legs, "Not everyone can have a chance like yours." A big hand fell on Matthew's shoulder and patted, "Don't waste your talent!"

Being stared at by such eyes, Matthew stood upside down with all the hair on his body, unconsciously pinching his legs, and sighing in his heart, fortunately, the previous one hadn't done anything irreparable...

"Do you know how powerful this crew is?" Morris was obviously an old-fashioned guy. "The number one shareholder of the company the crew belongs to is General Electric! They deal with people like you as easily as crushing an ant."

When the stick ran out, Morris threw another sweet date, "I introduced you to Jessica when I came in. Do you think she's beautiful and sexy?"

Matthew knew that he was talking about the blond woman, and nodded unconsciously.

Morris suddenly put on a weird tone, "Jessica Derek is a recognized beauty in the industry, you can fuck her right away, as much as you like, not only do you not have to pay, but you can also earn a lot of money, and Is it more wonderful than this? If it wasn't for the crew to look down on me, I would do it!"

He patted Matthew's shoulder again, "Money and beauty are right in front of you, don't you want it?"

"me……"

As a person who has worked hard for 20 years, the temptation of money and beauty is not too big for Matthew, he swallowed, "Of course I want it!"

Hearing this, Morris laughed. How many of these poor boys from the countryside could resist this temptation? The guys who were kidnapped by him in the past were not without regrets on the spot, but under the coercion and temptation, they all took off their pants obediently.

This of course will not be an exception.

Morris opened the door, turned his head and glanced at it. Looking through the room, he happened to see the tall and sexy Jessica Derek. He couldn't believe that this hairy boy who was less than 20 years old could bear it. Live it!

Then, he keenly captured that Matthew's throat rolled one after another, his face was also slightly red, and his eyes kept drifting out of the door.

Seeing Matthew's appearance, Morris decided that he was back in his control, and began to think in his heart, this guy is so disobedient, and when the audience's freshness wears off, will he be pushed into that kind of super-heavy production? among?

For a person who has been poor for 20 years, even eating has become a problem for a time, the temptation of money and beauty is unimaginable.

Matthew's blood rushed straight to his head, and the impulsive hormones in his body seemed to want him to nod in response, but after all, he is not a young boy who has just come into contact with society. , behind the temptation of fame and fortune, there may be a painful price to pay for a lifetime.

Little by little he pulled his gaze back from the blond woman, his eyes gradually became firm, and the flush on his face quickly receded.

Morris didn't notice these changes, thinking that everything was under control, and was about to reach out and pat Matthew on the shoulder.

"Matthew, follow me and you'll be a big star, make a lot of money, drive the best car, play with the prettiest women..."

The hand he patted out stopped in mid-air, the shoulder had been moved to one side, and the owner of the shoulder seemed to be very unwelcome to this hand.

Morris' eyes widened instantly, and before he could say anything, Matthew said first, "I like money, and I like beauty."

He smiled slightly, then changed his tone, "But not in this way."

"What?" Morris' eyes widened. "What did you say?"

"I mean very simple!" Matthew pointed to his chest, "I quit!"

"you……"

Morris stretched out a finger and pointed at Matthew, who suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "I quit!"

The sound spread throughout the studio, and countless people turned their heads to look at it, and the middle-aged director wearing glasses walked over directly.

"What's going on?" the director asked.

"I'm quitting." Matthew said first, "please ask for another one."

"What do you want to do?"

The director, who also served as the producer of the crew, immediately looked at Morris. Morris shook his head, indicating that he had nothing to do with him, but the face under the bald head was almost twisted with anger. The director pointed at Matthew and said to him , "Get him."

"Do you know the consequences of a breach of contract?" Morris' face turned black, "You have to accompany a large amount of liquidated damages! You will have to pay ten times the cost of the costumes, props and condoms custom-made for you by the crew. Also, you thought you could walk out easily..."

Matthew interrupted him suddenly, "You don't have to scare me, I have nothing, I am a pauper with nothing."

He grabbed the phone from his pocket and shook it in front of Morris. "As long as I press it, the police will be called. I remember this is the bustling part of Los Angeles, right? Do you want to deal with the police?"

"Humph!" Morris snorted. It's not the 1970s and 1980s, and some things can't be messed up. This is a sensitive industry, and it might cause big trouble.

The director and producer suddenly said, "You can do it if you don't. Five times the liquidated damages of your film contract, and in addition to increasing the cost of the team on you, I will ask the company's legal counsel to claim $50,000 from you!"

Temporary replacements are common in this industry, and even when an actor suddenly quits and can't find a suitable man, he, the director, will come on stage to perform in person. Although this young man is very talented, he is more reluctant to waste precious time.

"I'll ask the company's legal counsel to claim the money from you!" The director and producer said indifferently, as if Matthew's remorse was just a trivial matter, he turned and walked outside, before leaving the house, he threw a sentence at Morris , "Find someone more reliable next time!"

The director left, and Matthew shrugged at Morris, "Goodbye."

When you're done, you're ready to leave.

"Get ready for $50,000! The company always does what it says it does!" Morris stopped in front of him, "Boy, I'll make you bankrupt, come and beg me again!"

"Whatever." Matthew is now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, bypassing Morris and saying, "Los Angeles is so big, you can cover the sky with one hand?"
