Chapter 27 Pretty Shameless

"I don't think so..."

Seeing that the two sides were going to get into trouble, the bearded man took the initiative to stand up and talk to the mud, "Gore, how about you, I sincerely apologize."

He was the executive producer of the project, and he definitely didn't want to make things worse, so he turned back and said, "Helen, and..."

"Matthew..." Matthew smiled at him.

"Helen, and Matthew." Bearded continued, "Everyone is working in the same crew, working hard in a circle, and there is no contradiction that cannot be resolved."

Matthew knew very well that if things got bigger, Ridley Scott and even Universal Pictures behind the crew would be offended.

"Okay." Matthew nodded directly.

Helen Herman was originally just talking. Seeing that Matthew, the party, agreed, he would naturally not object.

The bearded man turned to look at the two Englishmen, "Gore, what about you? If you insist, I can take you to the surveillance, which should still be within the surveillance range."

Hearing this, Gore glanced at Macon, the guy's eyes flickered, he knew that if he continued to entangle him, it would only be more detrimental to himself.

"Okay!" Gore nodded.

Macon scratched his neck and shouted at Matthew, "Want me to apologize to him?"

Gore gave Macon a stern look. I only knew that this guy was impulsive before, why didn't he see that he was an idiot with a problem in his head?

"I..." Macon hesitated, still not wanting to apologize.

"What do you want?" Gore leaned over and warned in a low voice, "If this becomes a big issue, the American-led crew won't use you again!"

Macon gritted his teeth and looked at Matthew, who was standing opposite him, also looking at him with a smile.

"I'm sorry..." Macon squeezed out a sentence between his teeth.

"What?" Matthew made a listening gesture, "You said it too low, I didn't hear it."

Macon almost exploded his lungs with anger, and felt that the palm print on his face was even more painful. He wanted to turn his head and walk away, but he didn't dare. When he scolded discriminatory words in a fever, he moved his hand first, if he was really complained. It may be quite troublesome to go to the actors' unions in the UK and the US.

He closed his eyes, forcibly imagined the opposite Matthew as a rock, and said loudly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"

"It doesn't matter." Matthew waved his hand casually with a grand look, "A little misunderstanding."

Macon felt like his lungs had exploded, a little misunderstanding? Then you slapped yourself with such a ruthless mouth?

He apologized, he wasn't going to stay here, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Matthew stopped him suddenly, "Mr. Macon, wait!"

Helen Herman didn't know what Matthew was going to do, 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 are you doing?" Macon suddenly regretted provoking such a person, "I apologized."

"Hey, you haven't apologized to them yet!" Matthew pointed to the extras and said, "Your discriminatory words hurt them too!"

"Yes! Yes!" the quickest reaction of the extras exclaimed, "You scolded us!"

The other few performances watched the excitement and did not think it was a big deal, 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!"

"Hurry up and apologize!"

"Are you a man, dare to do it or not!"

Macon looked helplessly at his agent, Gore, who had nothing to do, so he nodded lightly.

"I'm sorry, everyone."

Apologizing to these insignificant little people, Macon felt extremely uncomfortable, and tears rolled back and forth in his eyes.

It seems that I can cry at any time, "I sincerely apologize to you for my inappropriate remarks!"

One of the performers waved carelessly, "I accept."

The other put on a big boss style, "I forgive you."

Seeing this, Helen Herman felt that it was almost the same, and nodded to Matthew, "Let's go."

Matthew achieved his goal, and there was no need to continue to entangle, and followed behind Helen Herman and walked outside the set.

Leaving the set and embarking on the road back to the town, Helen Herman suddenly asked, "Is it interesting?"

"What?" Matthew was stunned for a while, then wanted to understand what she meant, and said, "It's him who scolded people, and it's him who beat people. I'm just protecting myself."

He asked tentatively, "Will there be trouble?"

Helen Herman shook his head slowly, "What trouble could there be? It's not your fault, you can stop in moderation."

"I think so." Matthew said deliberately as he walked, "This kind of thing must save face for the crew, and it can't be done by temperament."

"Heh..." Helen Herman smiled, "You know a lot."

Matthew looked at the town not far away and said, "I have no higher education, and I'm not smart, but I'm not stupid either."

The two walked into the town together, and Helen Herman suddenly turned into a coffee shop. Matthew had to follow. They found a table by the window and sat down, ordered coffee casually, and continued the conversation just now.

Matthew asked again, "Will the crew go after the Brit?"

"No." Helen Herman shrugged, "You are just two little actors, as long as they don't make a big deal, they don't bother to care."

"That's right." Matthew also felt that such a large crew would have no time to manage such trivial matters. Too many people would easily cause conflicts. If they had to deal with such trivial matters, there would be no need for filming. However, he was still a little curious, "There will be contradictions when those big-name stars are filming?"

Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder he saw with his own eyes, "Will they do it?"

"It's hard to say." Helen Herman thought for a moment, then said, "Sometimes. I forget it was '90 or '91, when Julia Roberts was very upset with Steven Spielberg on set. , I want to do it... To be precise, I have already done it, but I was stopped by the staff."

Matthew asked immediately, "Julia Roberts must be out of luck?"

Helen Herman shook her head, "Who knows? But in the next few years, Julia Roberts didn't have a big hit, and even disappeared for a while."

"But she's still popular now!" Matthew said with emotion, "It's so popular!"

It is no exaggeration to say that Julia Roberts in this era is a Hollywood sister, synonymous with Hollywood female stars.

"So..." Helen Herman picked up the coffee cup and said before drinking, "In this circle, both strength and opportunity are very important."

Matthew also took a sip of coffee, but he was not used to the taste, and felt that the old tea was more suitable for him.

He put down his coffee cup, ready to turn to the subject, and Helen Herman brought him to this secluded cafe, certainly not to discuss old Hollywood gossip.

"Are you looking for me?" he asked directly.

"Well." Helen Herman nodded and put down the coffee cup, "I think you have the potential to become a real actor."

Matthew laughed and said unceremoniously, "Thank you! Many people think so."

Helen Herman looked at Matthew and quickly summed up the impression he had left on herself: thick-skinned, know how to drill camp, black-hearted, no high-level literacy, but have the shrewdness of small people, the most important point, Pretty shameless.

This point can be said to be an important condition for being able to get ahead in this circle.

Perhaps, this is a buildable material.

Among the dozens of extras who came this time, this Matthew Horner was the only one who left a more impressive impression on her. In fact, Helen Herman has made a decision since recommending Matthew to play the barbarian leader.

Looking at Matthew, Helen Herman said lightly, "Sign a long-term contract with me."

Matthew thought for a second, then nodded, "Okay!"

Before signing the contract, Helen Herman still has some things to know, she asked, "Tell me about your resume carefully."

"I was born in the slums near Dallas, Texas..." Matthew said, of course, of the experience of the previous one, "My mother died of a drug overdose, my father disappeared when I was fourteen, and I grew up from there. I dropped out of school when I was young, basically I was supporting myself, delivering newspapers, picking up trash, and working as a maintenance worker.

"Sounds inspiring," Helen Herman chimed in.

"It's okay." Matthew shrugged and continued, "Last year, some people thought I was in good shape and said that Hollywood is a good way out, so I came to Los Angeles and filed a case with an agency called Starlight. But never had a chance.”

He said roughly, "As a result, I met an agent who said that I could be a big star, and I signed a film contract with them."

"What film contract?" Helen Herman asked very seriously.

"It's just that kind of movie." Matthew was still a little embarrassed, "A romantic action movie, I'll be the male lead."

Helen Herman frowned, "Have you ever made that kind of film?"

If she had made that kind of film, she would not have given him a long-term contract, and she would not have invested her resources in him, it would have been a waste.

"No!" Matthew shook his head quickly, "I regretted it before shooting, and then ran away."

Helen Herman nodded lightly and asked, "They didn't trouble you?"

Matthew hammered the table lightly, "I found it! Is there still a lawyer chasing me for liquidated damages?"

He feels good about himself, "I think those guys won't give up on me and want to drag me back to continue making love and romance action movies! Especially the agent!"

"You think too much." Helen Herman has his own judgment. "They just want money. How much is the liquidated damages?"

"Fifty thousand dollars!" Matthew looked at the female agent and thought that he could consult her. "You have a lot of knowledge, so help me think about what to do?"
