Chapter 44
(Ask for a recommendation ticket!)
In an office in the studio, Matthew and Amanda sat on a couch, not saying a word, just watching Helen-Hellman negotiate with the record company like a bargain, the content of the negotiation involved In all aspects, in addition to role remuneration, there are many terms that Matthew does not understand at all.
For example, it is impossible for the crew and record company to provide a pickup vehicle for a young actor like Matthew, and Helen Herman won him a $50-a-day vehicle rental grant.
Also, the studio used for filming has four dressing rooms. Helen-Hellman asked the crew to set up a separate room for Matthew's use on the grounds that the male protagonist should rest well for the convenience of filming.
Other clauses such as work-related injury insurance, actor rights, etc. will not fall behind.
Without touching the record company's bottom line, Helen-Hellman is almost all about getting the best deal for Matthew.
Matthew didn't say a word, but he saw it all in his eyes and listened to his ears. Maybe Helen Herman was a little arrogant, but he was an extremely serious and responsible agent.
The negotiations between the two sides were still tugging, and suddenly there was a faint voice of quarrel.
"This voice..."
Not only Matthew, but Amanda also heard it and whispered, "It seems a little familiar."
Matthew listened, a smile flashed across his mouth, and lowered his voice, "I sound like Michael Sheehan's voice."
"He?" Amanda wondered. "Isn't he gone?"
"Who knows." Matthew shrugged slightly, "Probably turned back again."
At this moment, Helen Herman's cell phone rang. She said sorry to the people at the record company, and then she just listened to one sentence and stood up.
"what?"
Her face covered with black glasses was full of shock, "I'll be there soon."
After speaking, Helen Herman didn't even have time to say hello to Matthew and Amanda, and hurriedly walked outside. Fortunately, she was wearing a pair of flat leather shoes, otherwise she would have to fall somersaults.
"What's wrong?"
Amanda was astonished, rarely seen as surprised as Helen Herman.
People from the record company also ran out one after another, and Matthew stood up and greeted Amanda, "Let's go, let's go and see."
It's a waste not to watch this kind of excitement, especially since he may have contributed to the excitement.
Matthew and Amanda left the office and turned into a corridor next to them looking for the sound. They saw that there were already many people watching from a dozen meters away, and the quarrel just now turned into abuse.
"Martin Jackson, you bastard! You gay!"
Hearing this voice, Matthew was sure that it was Michael Sheehan, and then he went to the vicinity of the onlookers and saw Michael Sheehan, blushing, holding a steel pipe in his hand, blocking the door of an office and yelling.
Inside the office, Martin Jackson's trembling voice came, "Crazy! This man is crazy! Hurry up and call the police!"
"Michael Sheehan!" Helen Herman shouted in front of Matthew, "Stop me!"
Michael Sheehan was insane, and it was when he was most furious. How could he hear such words.
Helen Herman wasn't stupid either, she just stood outside and shouted, not rushing to stop it.
In this case, whoever rushes up will be unlucky.
Anyway, the office door was closed, and Michael Sheehan couldn't kick it open for a while.
"Bang! Boom!" came the voice of Michael Sheehan kicking the door.
"Is he crazy?" Amanda hid behind Matthew involuntarily, "to be fooling around in the crew."
"Naughty?"
The assistant watching on the left is York, and seeing that the person standing beside him is Matthew, he turned his head and said, "Director Jackson has just left the audition room,
He hit him on the shoulder with a steel pipe, if Director Jackson hadn't run fast and locked himself in this office, I guess..."
He shook his head.
Michael Sheehan kicked the door several times in a row, and then smashed it with the steel pipe in his hand. He looked very crazy, and with the weapon in his hand, no one was willing to take the risk to stop him, just called the police.
"Damn it!" Helen Herman lost her calm before and began to get anxious. Anyway, this is her client. "Damn it! Stop him quickly!"
People who work hard in Hollywood, it is natural to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and no one listens to her.
"Bam—"
Michael Sheehan kicked the door again, and sawdust flew up.
The more he couldn't catch Martin Jackson, the more anxious he became. The more anxious he was, the more his ass hurt. The more he felt, the more he thought about what Martin Jackson had done to him. Want to vent!
People in anger are irrational.
Therefore, including Helen Herman, no one took the risk for the time being, for fear that the hard steel pipe would fall on his head.
Martin guessed that this was also related to Martin Jackson being just a small MV director. If it was a big director who was trapped in the office, I am afraid someone would have rushed up.
"Boom-boom-boom-"
There was a huge bang, followed by Michael Sheehan's furious shouting after losing his mind, "Martin Jackson! You bastard! You popped my mouth! Fucked my ass! Still not giving the promised role to me?" Me! I'm going to kill you! Kill you gay!"
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings were instantly quiet, and Matthew and Amanda looked at each other in dismay.
Similar things are not secret in the circle, but no one will say it publicly. Now that it is revealed in public, everyone is surprised.
Helen-Hellman immediately realized that it was not good, and maybe it would affect the Angel Agency. This was her hard work. When she was in a hurry, she wanted to rush over.
She was right in front of Matthew, and found out just as he was about to move Matthew.
After finally meeting an agent with good professionalism and network, Matthew didn't want her to be finished, so he put his hand on Helen Herman's shoulder and reminded, "He's crazy, are you crazy too? Do you want to die!"
Michael Sheehan burst out with amazing words, his feet kept kicking the door, and the pole in his hand was dancing wildly.
Helen Herman only felt that her shoulders were firmly grasped by a large rough hand like iron pincers, and even if she wanted to rush over, she couldn't break free.
After Matthew's reminder and buffering for a while, Helen Herman also calmed down. After all, she is not an impulsive person.
"You have a good relationship with him." Helen Herman immediately turned around and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
Matthew let go of his hand and scratched his head, "That's what he said."
The sound of sirens came from outside the studio, followed by the sound of dense footsteps. Several police officers rushed over, and the incident was quickly brought under control. Several strong patrol officers joined forces to subdue Michael Sheehan, handcuffed him, and dragged him out. photo studio.
Then, the door of the office was opened from the inside, and Director Martin Jackson, who was grinning in pain, came out with one hand on his shoulder. His face was pale, and there was a fine layer of sweat on it, and he seemed to be seriously injured.
The representative of the record company stood up at this time, "Hurry to the hospital!"
Immediately, several staff members of the crew accompanied the police and sent Martin Jackson out.
"what--"
Probably walking a little fast, Martin Jackson also let out a scream.
"It's all gone..." The man from the record company waved to the surroundings, "It's all gone."
The crew quickly dispersed, and Matthew saw that Helen Herman did not move, and stood there with Amanda, not leaving.
"Call the company and re-contact a director." The record company instructed the assistant, "Go watch over Martin Jackson, and that actor..."
Having said that, he looked up at Helen Herman, "Helen, what's going on?"
"I don't know." Helen Herman responded quickly. "It may be that director Martin Jackson and Michael Sheehan reached some kind of private agreement."
This kind of thing is a bit troublesome, but she will not give in too much, and listen to what Matthew means, not just Michael Sheehan's problem.
The record company representative looked at Matthew and Aman, frowning, "The impact he has caused is too bad."
Helen Herman turned to Matthew and said, "You two go to the office and wait for me."
It was clear that the two were going to talk individually.
Matthew and Amanda didn't say a word, turned and left here. They returned to the office where they negotiated before and waited patiently for Helen Herman to return.
"Will it be troublesome?" Matthew asked in a low voice.
Amanda shook her head, "It's okay, Helen can handle more troublesome things than this."
Matthew didn't expect that Michael Sheehan was so impulsive under his rage, to be so cruel to Martin Jackson.
It was far beyond his expectations, but it seemed normal given the price Michael Sheehan paid.
It is estimated that Michael Sheehan may also want to settle accounts with himself? Matthew guesses. It's just that he's not as easy to find as Martin Jackson.
What happened today, some are his plans, some are accidents, but in general, the purpose has basically been achieved.
Matthew and Amanda waited for nearly twenty minutes before Helen Herman returned from the outside, and then continued to negotiate with the record company.
The two parties negotiated the terms and drew up the contract. Witnessed by the relevant lawyers, Matthew signed the contract in duplicate.
Helen-Hellman won a lot of favorable terms, but Matthew is more concerned about the remuneration. The filming plan is four days, and the remuneration is four thousand dollars. For every extended day of filming, the remuneration will automatically increase by one thousand dollars.
Matthew received the script of the MV, but did not know when the shooting would start. The director suddenly had a situation, and the specific shooting time had to wait for the crew to inform.
The makeup audition, which took Matthew's countless energy, was completely completed. He took Helen Herman's hitchhiker to the Angels Agency, and then took the bus to the company on Hollywood Boulevard to prepare for work.
As soon as the bus left Burbank, Matthew got a call from Helen Herman, asking him to go to Angels Agency tomorrow.
"What should come always comes."
Helen Herman is not an idiot, plus he needed help, and there was no suitable candidate, so he found Amanda...
