(This week will start to hit the new book list! Please recommend tickets! Please click! All kinds of requests!)

At the end of the day's shooting, Matthew took off his makeup, changed back into his clothes, and followed the other extras to several dining cars to pick up a buffet dinner and prepare to eat.

Because Michael Sheehan crammed and ran to another area to find Helen Herman familiar, after Matthew received the lunch box, he went to the outermost part of the dining area by himself, and found an empty table to sit down. Open the box and get ready to eat.

Although the salary and status are not high, the diet of the extras is quite good. The "Gladiator" crew provides a very rich meal, including beef, fish and chicken barbecue, burgers, hot dogs, vegetable and fruit salad, rice, pasta, French bread, various Drinks, pastries, ice cream, etc. are all self-service, and there are also dining tables and chairs.

Just now, he also heard people say that if you have to work overtime to shoot at night, there will be extra meals, and you can take all kinds of snacks and drinks at will.

For a person like Matthew, it is also very happy to live in such a rich crew every day. He can eat well, drink well, sleep well, and he can still get salary.

Unfortunately, after passing this village, I don't know when I will meet the next store.

Matthew is very clear that a crew as rich as "Gladiator" is only a few in Hollywood.

After eating a piece of roasted tender beef, Sean was about to drink water when his phone, which was turned on after removing his makeup, suddenly rang.

He took it out and glanced at it. It was an unfamiliar number, but he answered it anyway, "Hello."

"It's me, Helen." A familiar female voice came from the phone, "Matthew, where are you?"

Matthew didn't know what she was looking for, and said, "The extras dining area, the easternmost place."

"Okay, wait for me for a while."

After these words, the other party hung up the phone.

After taking a sip of water, Matthew speeded up. After eating lunch, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, and after a while, he saw Helen Herman in a professional suit approaching him.

"This way, Helen." Matthew waved as if they knew each other very well. He waited for Helen Herman to come over and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Helen Herman adjusted her glasses and went straight to the topic, "I have a role here, and you should be suitable."

When she heard Ridley-Scott's words, the first thing she thought of was Matthew who flashed past her eyes from time to time, and she remembered that he played a character with lines in the "Ghost Girl" crew, so there should be no problem.

Matthew immediately came to his senses, "What role?" He had some doubts, "I participated in the shooting this morning..."

"It doesn't matter." Helen Herman sat opposite and said in detail, "The morning shots are all long shots, and you can't see your face. Tomorrow, the character will be the barbarian leader, and there will be a few action scenes."

"The barbarian leader?" Matthew felt a sense of surprise.

Helen Herman nodded, "There are close-ups of the front and the whole body, and characters that will appear in multiple shots."

"I'll take it!" Matthew didn't even think about it, "Helen, when will the contract be signed?"

"Wait a minute..." As an agent, Helen Herman must make it clear, "Action scenes are dangerous! I went to Ridley Scott to read the script this afternoon, and the risk factor is not high. "

"Isn't there a protective measure?" Matthew asked.

Helen Herman folded his hands and put them on the table, "There will be very good protection measures, the chance of you being injured will not exceed one percent, and I will renegotiate with the crew to get them to sign a new contract with you. Contract, the crew must buy insurance for you."

"What about the remuneration?" Matthew asked the most concerned question, "Will the remuneration increase?"

"Yes!" Helen Herman said directly, "You can get $8,000 for this role, not counting other remunerations."

Hearing the $8,000 reward, Matthew urged, "Helen, choose me!"

The tuition for the acting school has to be paid, and the liquidated damages are imminent. He needs the money too much now.

"That's good." Helen Herman stood up, "I'm going to talk to the crew. Don't go back for now. Wait for my call. There may be an audition later."

She stood up, turned around and was about to leave. Before leaving, she warned, "Keep your phone turned on!"

"Um!"

Matthew nodded vigorously. From the moment he arrived on the set, he tried to impress Helen Herman. Of course, he didn't want to chase after her, so that she could think of herself first in a situation like this.

Now it seems that the efforts of this period of time have not been in vain.

Helen-Hellman walked a few steps, and a tall young man came towards her. The man saw her with a flattering smile on his face, "Hello, Miss Herman."

"Hello!" Helen Herman remembered that this was an extra brought by the Angels company.

She was hungry, and regardless of the young man's pleasing smile, she left.

Michael Sheehan frowned when he saw Helen Herman leave, as if the other party didn't like seeing him?

Then, he turned his head to look at Matthew, wondering what was going on. He was looking for Helen Herman everywhere, but she took the initiative to find Matthew?

Michael Sheehan felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show it. He walked over to Matthew's side, sat down carelessly, and asked, "Why did she come to find you? Did she want to date you..."

"You think too much." Matthew interrupted Michael Sheehan, "She got a role and thinks I'm more suitable, come and let me know."

"What role?" Michael Sheehan widened his eyes.

Matthew said casually, "Leader of the Germanic barbarians."

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing. After all, the shooting is going to be done tomorrow, so he said roughly.

Michael Sheehan's eyes widened, "Why did she think of you? Not me?"

"Oh..." He realized that he had lost his words, and quickly said with a smile, "I don't mean anything else, I just think it's very useful for you to be familiar."

Matthew also laughed, "It seems to be useful."

Anyway, he felt that with so many extras coming from the Angel Company this time, it was impossible for Helen Herman to remember everyone, let alone have a good impression of everyone.

Michael Sheehan shook his head, regretting to death. Why didn't he think of this? If the person who often greets him is him, this good opportunity is not...

He has been an extra for three years, and he has never gotten such a good opportunity!

This is an independent character, and there will definitely be a frontal close-up, which may impress the audience or other directors and producers of the crew.

Michael Sheehan's eyes widened and he looked straight at Matthew. The opportunity was clearly in front of him, but he had to pass him by.

Matthew was a little uncomfortable when he stared at him so blankly.

"Hey, Mike!" He reached out and waved in front of Michael Sheehan, "What are you thinking?"

"That..." Michael Sheehan has found out that he obviously can't keep up with Matthew in terms of human sophistication, but this does not mean that there is no chance at all. He and Matthew have been mixed since they came to the set. He thought about what to say, and then said, "Matthew, are we friends?"

Hearing this, Matthew felt strange and nodded, "Of course."

Although Michael Sheehan, like him, has a very strong purpose in doing things, the two get along very happily, and Matthew also classifies him as a friend.

"When I see you, I feel envious." Michael Sheehan sighed long and seemed a little depressed, "The first role you got had lines, and it was still with Winona Ryder and Angelique. Stars like Na-Jolie perform together..."

I don't know why, Matthew felt that the meaning of these words didn't seem right.

Michael Sheehan turned into a bitter face, "Look at me again, I've been in Los Angeles for three years, and I've played so many roles, but I don't even have a single complete line."

He shook his head vigorously, "Sometimes, I feel that the world is really unfair."

The world is inherently unfair, Matthew thought so in his heart, but didn't say it.

Michael Sheehan is still continuing, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "In order to come to the crew, I quit my job this time, and when I go back after filming, if the situation doesn't improve, I don't know what to do next."

Matthew understood his words a little, but he didn't answer. Instead, he said, "Don't worry, it's not difficult to find a temporary job."

"He didn't understand?" Michael Sheehan frowned even tighter, paused, and decided to point it out directly, he didn't want to miss such an opportunity.

"Matthew, can you help me?" Michael Sheehan looked at Matthew with hope in his eyes, "At the most difficult time, give your friend a hand!"

Speaking of which, Matthew gradually understood what Michael Sheehan meant, but such an opportunity was rare for Michael Sheehan, and equally rare for him.

This is a job that pays as much as $8,000. He has so many expenses next, where can he find an opportunity to earn so much money in a short period of time?

"Mike, this is not something I can decide." Matthew declined with a smile, "I'm just a little actor, Helen Herman gave me this opportunity, I have no right to speak."

Michael Sheehan shook his head again and again, "No! That's not the case! Matthew, among the actors from the Angel Company, you are the most familiar with Helen Herman. If you are willing to recommend me to her, I think she will definitely consider it! Most definitely!"

Matthew was silent, looked at the opposite side, and just gave up the $8,000 job? The problem is that even if he wants to, Helen Herman may not be willing to use Michael Sheehan. This kind of wishful thinking is very likely to lead to a double-headed fight.

Sitting here, Matthew thought for a while, sighed softly, and then said, "Sorry, I can't help you."

Having said that, this kind of thing is not something he can help if he wants to.
