"You eat first." Helen Herman pointed to the plate in front of Matthew, "We'll talk after eating."
Matthew was not polite either. He was really hungry after a busy morning. He put a piece of beef in his mouth. It seemed to taste OK. After swallowing it, he asked, "Have you eaten it?"
Helen Hermann said lightly, "I've eaten it."
Alexandra Dadario put a long dark brown hair behind his head and said, "We came over after lunch at the hotel."
Matthew nodded, stopped talking, and focused on having lunch.
Alexandra Dadario looked at Matthew, the red blood on his clothes, the neck and face, and his blue eyes quickly moved aside, leaned into Helen Hermann's ear and asked, "How can he eat it?"
"This is just a fake blood made of syrup mixed with traits of tomato sauce." Helen Hermann glanced at Matthew, and did not deliberately lower his voice. "Don't say that this is fake blood, he can eat even real blood."
Of course, Matthew heard this, raised his head and said deliberately, "Actually these are all sweet."
The fake blood on his body looks scary, but it doesn't smell bad, and it also has the sweet smell of corn syrup.
Ten minutes later, Matthew finished lunch, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, looked at Helen Hermann and Alexandra Dadario opposite him, and said, "I'm done, let's talk about it if I have something to do."
Helen Hermann didn't go around the circle and said directly, "Ana's family has something to do. This time she didn't accompany her to Canada. The company has some emergency situations in Los Angeles. I'm leaving Toronto in the afternoon."
She looked at Alexandra Dadario, "Anna has only been on one crew and lacks experience in this area. Matthew, you are the leading actor, help take care of Anna."
Matthew looked at Alexandra Dadario, who smiled shyly at him.
Alexandra Dadario is not stupid either. If the agent leaves for something, Matthew is the best support. After all, he is the biggest actor in the crew. If he supports him, no one dares to make things difficult for him.
Like the last time she played a very small role on the crew, she left a very bad impression on her, especially Rachel McAdams, who used a dressing room with her, was targeting her everywhere.
Matthew understood what Helen Hermann meant and said, "No problem."
Alexandra Dadario was introduced by Amanda to the Angel Agency. Her father's position is very helpful to Amanda's parents' career. Helen Herman and Amanda are cousins with excellent relationships...
After sorting out these relationships a little, Matthew will know why Helen Hermann took care of Alexandra Dadario in such a way.
To put it bluntly, this is an American-style collusion between officials and businessmen.
"Okay." Helen Hermann didn't talk to Matthew, looked at his watch and said, "I'm going to go back to the hotel to pack my luggage. You can take Anna to the set later."
Matthew nodded, "I know how to do it."
Helen Hermann turned to look at Alexandra Dadario and said, "I can come back in about a week. With Matthew here, you can feel at ease." She thought for a while and said, "When you encounter trouble, tell Matthew in time, he will definitely help you solve it."
"I understand." said Alexandra Dadario.
"I will say hello to the relevant personnel of the crew." Matthew climbed up step by step from the bottom. Of course, he knew that no matter how harmonious the crew was on the surface, there would be no disputes. "Let them know that you are my friend."
Alexandra Dadario was a little worried, but immediately dissipated. He smiled and said to Matthew, "Thank you."
Matthew also smiled, "Don't you be kind to you." He said carelessly, "Aren't you good friends with Amanda? Amanda's friends are my friends."
Helen Hermann looked at Matthew vigilantly, but said nothing. She stood up and said to the two, "I'm leaving, call me if you have something to do."
Watching Helen Herman leave, Alexandra Dadario turned around and asked, "Is the crew atmosphere good?"
"Hmm?" Matthew looked at her curiously.
Alexandra Dadario smiled and said, "Last time, I left after filming the character you introduced me. But that crew..."
Matthew asked, "What's wrong with that crew?"
"How to say it?" Alexandra Dadario thought for a while before saying, "It feels that the relationship between people is particularly awkward. The heroine Kate Beckinsale has a relationship with the director, investor, and a male actor. Rachel McAdams, who uses a dressing room with me, is like a thorn all over her body."
She changed into a glad tone, "Fortunately, I stayed all morning."
"This is the norm for Hollywood crews." Matthew pushed the plate aside. "The crew I have been to, except for one of the male protagonists, have many troubles in other crews, and can be said to be full of disputes."
Alexandra Dadario has just entered the industry and is the second time he has played a role. He doesn't know much about the Hollywood circle and has his ears erected.
Matthew continued, "The male actors are a little better, but they are not much better. Not to mention anything else, just say that the crew now has hundreds of actors to use. How many have the frontal shots? How many have the lines? What are the audiences who can really leave an impression? Compared to these, what are the actors who want to join the crew to seek a role?"
Alexandra Dadario didn't say anything, but just listened to Matthew seriously.
"There may be thousands of people, or more." Matthew shrugged slightly, "If you want to climb up, you have to step on others as a ladder."
"But..." Alexandra Dadario seemed to have different opinions. "I didn't think I was competing with others when I got this role."
Matthew was speechless for a moment. All he said was an actor who was born like him, and people like Alexandra Dadario were far easier to stand out than them.
"That's because your starting point is higher than others," said Matthew.
Alexandra Dadario thought about it and roughly understood what he meant, "It seems...is...that's the case."
Although she was less than eighteen years old, she had been following her shrewd parents since she was a child and had some understanding of this society.
"Look..." Matthew gave another example, "The last time you easily got a role, someone was targeting you, and I guess there will be one this time."
As soon as he said this, Alexandra Dadario remembered something, "When he came, someone had troubled me, but Helen blocked it."
Matthew didn't ask, and said directly, "If someone wants to trouble you in the future, I will be there! I've come out of countless disputes!" He raised a finger and said deliberately, "Anna, believe me! In this crew, if I want to bully an actor, I will torture them and directly withdraw from the crew."
Of course, this kind of words is used to coax such a girl who is not very experienced in the world.
As long as he greets several executive producers on the crew, saying that Alexandra Dadario is his absolute friend of the protagonist, unless there is a problem with his head, no one will easily find trouble for Alexandra Dadario.
"Yeah!" Alexandra Dadario nodded vigorously, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he straightened his chest, "Now Helen is gone. Matthew, I'll rely on you."
Hearing this, Matthew suddenly felt something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it and said, "You have to be polite for a little thing." He stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the set, I'll take you to know the director."
He walked towards the restaurant door first, thinking about Alexandra Dadario as he walked. Among the young girls he knew, it seemed that she was a more introverted and calm type.
Alexandra Dadario followed Matthew, looked at his back with bright blue eyes, and confirmed that he had a safer support in the crew than Helen Herman.
She took two steps, caught up with Matthew when she went out, and walked beside him, still looking a little silent without saying much.
When he arrived at the open-air set, Matthew introduced Alexandra Dadario to Zach Schneider and several executive producers, and said that this was his friend and asked them to take care of him more.
These people responded very happily.
Matthew did this not only to introduce Alexandra Dadario to several important characters in the crew, but now there are many people on the set, and it is also for them to see. After seeing these people, as long as they have normal brains and don’t want to have a head-on conflict with him, the male protagonist, they will naturally not provoke Alexandra Dadario.
Within the appropriate scope, Matthew can help Helen Herman and will also help her. Helen Herman's agent is of great value to him.
Later, when Alexandra Dadario went to the makeup trailer to put on makeup, Matthew specifically asked his assistant to accompany her. An actor of the level of Alexandra Dadario could not enjoy a separate makeup trailer. With his assistant to accompany him, there would definitely be less trouble in the future.
Matthew knew very well that even though Alexandra Dadario was of good origin and was specially cared for by Helen Hermann, none of the crew in Hollywood was kind and clean and pure like heaven. Those who climbed high in one step were more vulnerable to jealousy and attacks than those who climbed up slowly.
In this regard, Tom Cruise was a typical example at that time.
Soon, the crew started to operate. Matthew had not removed his makeup before. After a simple makeup repair, the shooting would begin.
