​​

"That's how it is."

​​

In a cafe near Universal Studios, Matthew recounted the incident in detail, and then said, "I was a little impulsive about this, but in that case, it is difficult for a normal person to control his emotions. ."

​​

Helen Herman did not complain or blame Matthew, but said, "According to what you said, you were terminated by the crew, it should be Vin Diesel's request."

​​

Matthew added, "Based on what I have observed and heard, Vin Diesel has a lot of power to speak."

​​

"I know." Helen Herman was very calm, "When you came over, I called to find out the situation, and I don't know what Vin Diesel came from, but he was able to make a big difference for this project. Although there is no named producer, the producer must respect his reasonable advice.”

​​

"Is it a reasonable suggestion to terminate the contract with me?" Matthew curled his lips.

​​

This question is meaningless, Helen Herman did not answer, saying, "You are about to be terminated, it is an established fact."

​​

Matthew sighed, took a sip from the coffee cup, and thought of the actor contract signed with the crew, "Then cancel the contract, isn't there a breach of contract in the contract I signed with the crew? Is this a breach of contract? We have to pursue it. Ask for liquidated damages!"

​​

Helen Herman looked at the watch, "Of course I default! The liquidated damages must be recovered! This is your legitimate right."

​​

She stood up and greeted Matthew, "It's almost time, let's go to the crew."

​​

Leaving the cafe, Matthew and Helen Herman entered the studio area of ​​Universal Studios. In a small office building next to the studio, they were received by a producer with a somewhat unfamiliar face.

​​

"Hello, Miss Herman." The producer was very polite, "Hello, Mr. Horner."

​​

He introduced himself, "I'm Doug Clayborn, the executive producer of the crew, and I'm here to deal with the cancellation of the crew and Mr. Horner."

​​

Helen Herman glanced at Matthew and whispered, "You'd better wait for me outside."

​​

Matthew nodded, went straight out of the office, sat on the bench in the corridor, took out his mobile phone and waited.

​​

He understood what Helen Herman meant. For this kind of negotiation that is destined to be torn apart, it is best for the actor as an actor not to be present, but to leave it to an agent to handle it, so that there is a layer of separation between the two parties, in case anything goes wrong. , some things can be pushed to the agent, and the two sides also have room for relaxation.

​​

Matthew was waiting outside, and Helen Herman had already started arguing inside.

​​

"With all due respect, Mr. Clayborn." Helen Herman sat on the sofa, not polite at all, "The crew has no valid reason to terminate the contract with my client, Mr. Matthew Horner!"

​​

Of course Doug Clayborn knew this, but he wouldn't say it, and seeing Helen Herman as a young woman, he couldn't help but despise her.

​​

Although the crew is mentally prepared to compensate for the liquidated damages, if the circumstances allow, they naturally want to save this cost.

​​

"Mr Horner damaged the vehicle of another cast member, Vin Diesel..."

​​

As soon as Doug Clayborn said these words, Helen Herman interrupted them, "This is a dispute between the two actors, should it be left to the actors to resolve themselves?"

​​

He was interrupted before he finished speaking, Doug Clayborn was a little unhappy, and his tone was a little rushed, "Matthew Horner then retaliated against Mr. Vin Diesel during the filming, causing him to be slightly injured, The contract has been violated, and the crew has the right to terminate the contract with you!"

​​

"I want evidence!" Helen Herman looked serious, "The time, place, specific events, and witnesses... Yesterday was an action scene, and the director and action director also asked to play on the spot, and my client was also affected by it. Hurt! Was this Vin Diesel's intentional revenge?"

​​

She remembered what Matthew had said and asked, "Could it be that Vin Diesel has only one side? You must have third-party witnesses!"

​​

Doug Clayborn didn't expect Helen Herman to be so tough.

​​

Helen Herman added, "Mr. Matthew Horner is a member of the Screen Actors Guild! I have contacted the Screen Actors Guild. If necessary, I will apply to the Screen Actors Guild for investigation and arbitration. We are very patient and can wait for the actors. Union findings."

​​

Doug Clayborn suddenly fell silent. It was not easy to find a third-party witness who was willing to testify for Vin Diesel, let alone the cast and crew who complained to him in private on the set. The person who was almost a shitposter on the set came forward.

​​

The crew, especially the indulgence of Universal Pictures, and what they are doing now, are all for the sake of large sums of money.

​​

Doug Clayborn knew that it was impossible for the crew to get the Screen Actors Guild to intervene in the investigation. Once the Screen Actors Guild intervened, the crew was bound to suspend temporarily. Even if it stopped for a few days, it would be a waste of money and time.

​​

Even though most of the money was invested by Vin Diesel.

​​

"Miss Herman." Doug Clayborn knew that he couldn't get rid of it for free, "Can you tell me about your terms?"

​​

Helen Herman is very firm, "I have no conditions. We will do everything according to the breach clause in the contract."

​​

Doug Clayborn frowned. He checked the relevant contract this morning, and the liquidated damage was five times Matthew Horner's salary, as high as $30,000!

​​

He thought about it and said, "The crew can pay Mr. Matthew Horner another salary."

​​

"Six thousand dollars?" Helen Herman shook her head directly. "It's impossible. If you have this attitude, we don't need to continue talking. Let's apply for an investigation and arbitration from the Screen Actors Guild."

​​

Negotiations continued inside. Matthew was sitting on a bench in the corridor, playing with Tetris on his mobile phone. He believed that Helen Herman's ability would definitely be able to secure a suitable liquidated damages for him.

​​

Having said that, he didn't expect that Vin Diesel would be so unpleasant to see him after filming yesterday, and would rather let the crew breach the contract than provoke people to remove him from the crew.

​​

"Do those two punches hurt so much?" Matthew said to himself, "I only used half of my strength, isn't this guy a tough guy?"

​​

He turned his attention back to the phone again.

​​

The sound of footsteps suddenly came from one side of the corridor, and it seemed to be in a hurry. Matthew turned his head and looked over there. Paul Walker, wearing sneakers, was rushing over.

​​

"Why are you here?" Matthew stood up and asked, "No filming?"

​​

"The director is filming a women's scene, and it has nothing to do with me for the time being." Paul Walker strode over and said, "I heard that the crew is going to terminate your contract with you, and the assistant saw you coming to this building, so I came over."

​​

He asked, "Do you really want to terminate the contract with you?"

​​

Matthew nodded, "Really."

​​

Paul Walker immediately exclaimed, "Vin Diesel of f@#k!"

​​

"It's alright." Matthew's mind was relatively calm, and he said in a low voice, "It is estimated that my two punches yesterday afternoon made Vin Diesel very uncomfortable."

​​

After speaking, he deliberately squeezed his eyes.

​​

"You..." Paul Walker shook his head and laughed, "When is it time to be so optimistic."

​​

"I have reasons for optimism!" Matthew spread his hands, looked at the office next to him, and said with a smile, "My agent Helen Herman is negotiating liquidated damages inside, if there is no accident, I can take it The full liquidated damages on the contract, $30,000!"

​​

He seemed to be in a really good mood, and said to Paul Walker, "Look, I actually achieved all of my goals in this movie. I made more money than I expected, and I accumulated the auditions and sets I wanted. Field performance experience, beat up another bastard, and met you and Jordana..."

​​

As he was talking, Matthew suddenly realized that, except for the fact that he would definitely not be able to appear in the final film of "The Fast and the Furious", he had already got everything he wanted from this crew.

​​

Seeing Matthew's optimism, Paul Walker reminded, "Don't forget, you have to hold your breath."

​​

"I don't need to hold my breath." Matthew shrugged, "I'm leaving this crew soon, and I don't have to watch Vin Diesel's nasty behaviors like being late, bullying, changing the script temporarily, I'm relaxed, Happy too."

​​

He suddenly stretched out his hand, patted Paul Walker's arm, and said, "It's you who have to endure. Paul, don't conflict with Vin Diesel if you don't have to."

​​

Compared to his "Fast and Furious" passer-by, Paul Walker may have to work with Vin Diesel for many years.

​​

The sound of high heels landing sounded, and Jordana Brewster entered the corridor and waved to Matthew from a distance. Matthew also waved to her with a smile.

​​

"Vin Diesel and Neil Moretz are here too," Jordana Brewster said after greeting, "right behind me."

​​

When Matthew heard this, he pointed to the other side of the corridor, "You guys hurry up, there's no need to go this way because I'm having trouble with Vin Diesel again."

​​

Paul Walker frowned and said, "Matthew..."

​​

"Let's go quickly!" Matthew urged, "I'm fine, the manager is here."

​​

He waved to two people, who were different from him after all~www.readwn.com~ Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster glanced at Matthew, turned and walked towards the other side of the corridor.

​​

The two didn't even turn out of the corridor for twenty seconds before Matthew saw Vin Diesel's bald head, and he and Neil Moretz were walking towards this side.

​​

Following all the way, Vin Diesel's eyes were fixed on Matthew, and Matthew did not evade, but also stared at him with sharper eyes.

​​

However, Vin Diesel and Neil Moretz didn't stop and went straight into the office.

​​

Neither Matthew nor Vin Diesel are stupid, and it is impossible to have a conflict on this occasion.

​​

Half an hour later, Helen Herman walked out of the office and had reached an agreement with the crew. The crew officially terminated the actor contract with Matthew and paid a liquidated damage of $30,000. At the same time, Matthew cited physical discomfort as the reason. Launch the crew.

​​

The next day, the two sides formally signed a termination agreement under the witness of lawyers and representatives of the Actors Guild. Install zuopingshuji and hold down for three seconds to copy!!
