California in August is the season of scorching sunshine. The bright sun hangs in the sky and sheds thousands of rays of light. It seems that the air is about to smoke. Matthew is sweating profusely. Long legs, around a flat land, ran forward.

Under the big parasol in the center of the field, Hawke Breton stood like a javelin and shouted loudly, "Stand up your back, Matthew Horner! You are a soldier now!"

Hearing this, Matthew, who was running, straightened his spine immediately. Even when he was running, it was like a javelin.

On the last day of the ten-day training, Matthew not only became stronger, but his body gradually became straight and straight, and at first glance he looked a little like a soldier.

But it's just like, after all, there can't be much change in ten days.

As usual, after running, Matthew adjusted his posture and walking style under the guidance of Hawke Breton. This habit was deeply ingrained and required him to practice more.

These are the general contents of the training, and the time is very limited. Even an experienced veteran officer like Hawke Breton can't put too many things into Matthew.

In the final analysis, this is for the needs of the audition. Everything is to make Matthew seem naturally suitable for playing a strong military role when he auditioned.

Matthew continued to practice in the field, and Helen Herman gradually came over from a distance.

She went directly to the place where Hawke-Bretton stood, took off the sun hat and looked at Matthew who was practicing seriously, and asked, "Is his training going well?"

Hawke Breton turned to look at Helen Herman and said, "It's much better than I expected."

"Huh?" Helen Herman looked at him suspiciously.

"I don't have much time to teach," explained Hawke Breton, "but he is very serious, very hardworking, and much better than most of the recruits I have taught!"

Helen Herman never doubted Matthew's attitude, "What about the effect?"

Hawke Breton pointed to Matthew's side and said, "Let's put it this way, if you put him in a bunch of ordinary people, people who have experienced professional training like me will definitely notice him and think he is the best. Someone with a military temperament."

Helen Herman nodded, "That's enough."

Why did she agree with Matthew's proposal, because she learned from Eric Polk that Tom Hanks would personally audition for this role, and Tom Hanks had been filming "Saving Private Ryan" two years ago. The relationship, experienced more than two months of military training, in some respects, is far more familiar with the military than ordinary people.

In fact, this is also a kind of adventure, but she and Matthew have no advantage. If they don't take risks, the final result can only be disappointment.

As for the backup plan, Helen Herman wants it to be always a backup.

"Okay, Matthew." Hawke Breton looked at his watch and shouted, "Ten minutes of rest."

Matthew strode over, but his walking posture was obviously different from before. His waist was straight, and he was like a cheetah ready to attack at any time.

Helen Herman took out a bottle of mineral water from the box on the ground and handed it to Matthew, only to find that Matthew's complexion was obviously darker, showing a slightly paler wheat color. The kind of strong temperament that only a man has.

She nodded with satisfaction, which undoubtedly added some weight to the upcoming audition.

Matthew took the water, unscrewed the lid, took a few gulps, and poured the rest directly on his head, which made him feel cooler.

The weather is very hot and the training is very tiring, but it is all within the range that he can bear. After all, these are nothing compared to the hard work he used to work on the construction site.

Besides, once you become famous, those flamboyant lives...

These vulgar thoughts, like a carrot, seduce Matthew to keep trying to move forward.

"Your phone is ringing." Helen Herman suddenly reminded.

Matthew also heard the phone ringing. He bent down and pulled out the phone from the box. An unfamiliar number was displayed on it. He pressed the answer button and just put it to his ear when he heard a formulaic voice.

"Hello, is this Mr. Matthew Horner?"

After hearing only one sentence, Matthew was sure that he had never heard the voice before, and replied, "I'm Matthew Horner."

"I'm a staff member of the Los Angeles District Court..." The man briefly introduced himself and added, "Mr. Matthew Horner, you are involved in a breach of contract lawsuit, and my colleagues and I are going to send it to you. Subpoenas, subpoenas need to be signed by you in person."

Matthew instantly thought of the contract dispute with the "Forbidden Tarot" crew.

The man's words continued to ring from the handset, "Where can we find you?"

With the passage of time and the fact that he did not receive a lawyer's letter for a long time, Matthew was lucky to think that the other party had given up, but he did not expect to actually go through the legal process.

"Wait a minute." Matthew covered the microphone, because Hawke Breton was present, and said vaguely to Helen Herman, "As for the liquidated damages, the court wants me to sign the subpoena in person."

Helen Herman immediately understood what Matthew was talking about, and turned to Hawke Breton and said, "Let's end the training here. Matthew and I have something to deal with temporarily."

Hawke Breton was not stupid, he could hear the meaning of the words and said, "Okay, call me again if you need it."

Matthew waved to him, "Goodbye, Hawke. I'll bill you the rest tomorrow."

Hawke Breton nodded with a smile, turned and strode away.

In this short period of time, Helen Herman has already considered the countermeasures and said, "Let them send them to the company."

"Hey, are you still there?" Matthew heard the response from there, gave an address, and said, "I'll be waiting for you at Angel Agency in an hour."

After speaking, he hung up the phone and cursed, "These bastards!"

Helen Herman beckoned to him, "Let's go, let's go back."

Matthew followed her to the parking lot of the farmhouse, and Helen Herman threw the car keys to him, "You drive, I will contact you to handle this matter."

After getting into the driver's seat, Matthew started the car and drove out of the manor. Helen Herman, who was in the co-pilot, had already made a call.

"Lawyer Wilson?" She said a name that Matthew was somewhat familiar with, "I have a breach of contract lawsuit on my side. Yes, the client I introduced to you a few months ago, and now the other party has gone through the legal process. , the subpoena is about to be issued, can you come over? Okay, I'll wait for you in the company."

Hanging up the phone, she called again, "Mr. Clint? I'm Helen, I want to ask something, one of my clients is involved in a breach of an acting contract. Yeah, he's a union member, and the union can help. Do you need relevant materials? No problem, I'll pass them on to you tomorrow."

On the way back to Burbank, Len Hellman made several consecutive calls and got in touch with many people.

Before arriving at the small building of Angel Agency, Matthew parked the car, followed Helen Herman who got off the car first, and walked into the small building together.

"Is it troublesome?" Matthew asked.

To be honest, with the help of an agent, he didn't have as much headache as before.

"It's not too much trouble." Helen Herman is still in her usual style, "If it's very troublesome, I'd rather give up on you."

Matthew understood what she meant, shrugged and said nothing.

In his perception, this is a very normal thing. After all, he is not a star. If the investment cost is high, and the return is completely disproportionate, why should Helen Herman help him?

Just because she was his agent?

Matthew remembered that she also acted as the agent of dozens of other actors!

Entering Helen Herman's office, Matthew waited for a while, and Wilson arrived first. Not long after, two staff members of the Los Angeles District Court also arrived. Accompanied by Wilson, Matthew signed the lawsuit in person. summons.

After sending the court staff away, Matthew carefully repeated the whole incident to Lawyer Wilson.

"I told you last time." Lawyer Wilson said directly, "You breached the contract first, and the other party has sufficient evidence. The best way to deal with it is to reach an out-of-court settlement with them."

He returned the subpoena that he had carefully read to Matthew, "I am confident that I will cut the amount of liquidated damages by one-third to one-half."

The liquidated damages are $50,000, and even half of it~www.readwn.com~ is still $25,000... Matthew finally had a headache. He didn't save the money he earned recently.

He has always held the fluke mentality that little people should be ignored, and now it seems that this kind of mentality is really bad.

"Okay." Matthew said seriously, "Lawyer Wilson, I'll entrust this matter to you."

"Let's talk about my fees first." Attorney Wilson said without hesitation, "One-fifth of the amount I cut off for you is my compensation."

Matthew didn't answer immediately. He didn't know much about the laws of the old beauty, especially the entertainment law. He turned to look at Helen Herman, who nodded to him and said, "Yes."

Lawyer Wilson stood up, "I will hold the other party temporarily, and then apply for out-of-court settlement. Mr. Horner, you have to be mentally prepared, this may take several months."

He said goodbye to Helen Herman, and then said to Matthew, "You take time to go to my office these days, and we will sign a formal agency agreement."

Seeing Lawyer Wilson leave, Matthew leaned back on the single sofa with a gloomy expression on his face. He couldn't even get a tenth of the tens of thousands of dollars.

Matthew sat for a while, thinking about the job he was about to fight for, and asked Helen Herman, "How much can I get paid for the role of Ronald Spears."

Helen Herman thought for a moment and said, "I estimate that each episode may be $5,000 to $6,000. If the other party has a sufficient budget and there are more favorable factors in my negotiation, I may be able to win more than $8,000."

Hearing what she said, Matthew instantly became energized. Even if Ronald Spears only had five episodes, the character's remuneration was almost enough to pay off the liquidated damages.

Matthew has one more reason to win this role!
