In the office of Burbank Angel Performing Arts Agency, Helen Herman hung up the phone, leaned against the boss's chair, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and let out a breath, and he seemed to have relaxed a lot.

"A movie poster..." Amanda was her cousin and said nothing, "Does it take you to call yourself and waste so much saliva? The money we earn from the business of "Gladiator" is not enough for the company's rent."

Helen Herman asked with his hands on his chest, "Dear, how can entertainment agency make money? The most basic one."

Amanda answered without hesitation, "Of course, it is to take a commission from customers' income. The more money the customers earn, the more we take a commission."

"What kind of customers can make a lot of money in Hollywood?" Helen Herman asked again.

"Of course, big stars earn a lot." This question is not difficult for Amanda. "Those famous big stars have millions of dollars in a film, or even tens of millions of dollars, plus endorsement contracts..."

Helen Herman interrupted her, "Do you think those big stars will join the Angel agent?"

"No!" Amanda shook his head, "Which big star is willing to come in a small company like us?"

"So..." Helen Hermann seemed extremely confident, "We want to develop celebrity clients of Angel Brokers."

Her eyes suddenly became sharp, "I chose to start a business before the internship period in the mailroom was over. Many people were watching my jokes. If I couldn't even bring a celebrity customer, how would I face those ridiculous faces when I went back in the future?"

Amanda knew that her cousin was a very strong person, otherwise she would not have started a business.

"If I bring an A or Super A star back in the future," Helen Hermann's words were not finished yet. "Who will talk more if I get something that should belong to me?"

"It's very difficult." Amanda told the truth, "We are a small company, and you have some resources in your hands. You can't compare with the five major brokerage companies, and you can't produce big stars like Leonardo DiCaprio who are popular all over the world overnight."

Helen Hermann spread his hands, "So, the road has to be taken step by step. I strive to let the company's customers appear on the promotional poster of "Gladiator" to pave the way for the next step."

Amanda asked curiously, "Do you think so much about Matthew Horner?"

She had a good impression of this person. Sometimes the other person would come over to chat with her, a very enthusiastic and cheerful person.

"No." Helen Hermann shook his head slowly and firmly. "Matthew Horner knows how to be conscious, has a thick-skinned and a little shameless. Although these are essential qualities to become a star, we cannot just put resources on anyone."

"Oh!" Amanda nodded clearly, "We signed long-term contracts with more than a dozen people, just looking for people who are truly valuable."

Helen Hermann turned the chair and looked out the window, "It can be said that the circle is large enough to find the most dynamic one." She thought for a while and said, "My father and the Gladiator's early promotional poster are just stepping stones. Who knows which one will be chosen by the other party? I have the exact news that in order to let the singer sign a new long contract, Jive Records will first follow the singer's personal opinions when choosing the male lead in the MV."

She raised her arm and put it on the armrest of the chair. "I have seen that singer several times. There seems to be some problems with emotional intelligence, and no one can tell her choice."

"No matter who she chooses, aren't they all chosen from the people in our company?" Although she has a good impression of Matthew Horner, Amanda is not talking to him. "If you can get such resources, it won't make those small agency envious if they spread it!"

Helen Hermann smiled, "It's not settled yet."

Although he wanted to use his father's relationship, Helen Hermann was not guilty. For people like her, the family's network of connections itself is a resource for starting a career.

After taking more than a week of acting classes, Matthew felt that he had benefited a lot, and he got good news from the call of his agent Helen Herman. The live photos of the barbarian leader leading the barbarian roar will be used as a preliminary promotional poster for "Gladiator" and will be invested by Universal Pictures in the early promotional campaign of the film.

Matthew was still a little excited, after all, it was the first time he might be on the media.

He also saw the live stills taken at that time. Although he couldn't recognize the fur and bearded look at first glance, if he had a little recognition, he could still recognize his extremely recognizable face.

In recent times, although Matthew has not won the role again, he is in a good mood. On the one hand, the news from Helen Hermann and the learning that has benefited a lot in the performance class, while on the other hand, the crew of "Tao Tarot" has not sent any lawyer's letters for the time being.

The other party seemed to have completely forgotten him, and he had not received a lawyer's letter for a long time.

Matthew, with the lucky mentality of a little man, and based on the principle of saving as much as possible, he did not go to the lawyer for the time being.

If you can save this expense, you can plan to buy a used car.

In this country, it is too inconvenient to have no cars.

Especially, he has to travel to many places a day, and basically goes to Los Angeles Performing Arts School to attend performance classes and language classes during the day from Monday to Friday. He also has to use his spare time to keep reading so that he can improve his cultural level as soon as possible. He continues to work as a driver at Red Penguin Company at night, and goes to Angel Agency every weekend for a walk. He strives to get more familiar with Helen Hermann.

Even the company's front desk receptionist Amanda was very familiar with him, and he had a tendency to develop friends who could talk about everything.

Matthew can be said to have entered the circle of actors, but looking up, his eyes darkened. Apart from Helen Hermann, he could not find a place that is more suitable for taking advantage of the situation.

As for Angelina Jolie, after introducing the Los Angeles Performing Arts School, the two sides were in a state of grudges. Matthew tried to call her assistant several times, but the other party directly cut off his attitude, and his attitude was very obvious.

Little people have the sorrow and helplessness of small people. If a small person wants to climb up, he must find the right way.

"Hi, Matthew!"

After the language class was over, Matthew was late for a while because he went to the bathroom. He had just walked to the gate of the Los Angeles Performing Arts School in Los Angeles. A slightly old Ford sedan parked next to him. The glass in the driver's seat fell, revealing Rachel McAdams's face with a bright smile, "Where do you go? I'll take you all the way."

In about ten days, the two of them gradually got along. It was not the first time Matthew took Rachel McAdams' car. Anyway, he walked directly to the co-pilot, opened the car door and got in, and said, "Hollywood Avenue, the old place."

Rachel McAdams started the car and drove onto the northeastern road. After leaving the traffic-heavy North Hollywood Central District, he asked, "You are still working part-time as a driver there."

"Yeah." Matthew adjusted his seat belt a little, "I can't find a more suitable part-time job for the time being."

"Do you recruit female drivers?" Rachel McAdams had heard Matthew talk about part-time jobs before, "If you recruit, I'll apply for a job."

Matthew shook his head and told the truth, "The company is always driving at night, so don't have female drivers." He asked with concern, "Don't you do your part-time job at McDonald's?"

This kind of temporary worker in a low-end restaurant is actually very suitable for part-time jobs of young actors.

Rachel McAdams turned around and waited for the car to turn around, and then said, "I don't want to do it anymore. The restaurant is open for 24 hours. I have to stay for eight hours every night. It's not like you can hide in the car and sleep. You can almost rarely rest in the middle, which has a great impact on the next day."

She pointed to her eyes, "The dark circles are getting heavier and heavier. If you keep going, you can't even act in a vase."

Matthew can only make a living by himself. If you want to help with this kind of thing, he doesn't know where to start.

Rachel McAdams continued, “The restaurant wants to further squeeze my salary and lower it to the minimum hourly wage in Los Angeles. I really doubt it is correct to come to Hollywood now.”

"There will always be a chance when you come." Matthew replied.

"Well." Rachel McAdams nodded slightly, "but the difficulties encountered were much greater than I thought, and people were bullied everywhere."

Matthew shrugged, remembering a sentence he read in the newspaper a few days ago, and laughed, "The poor do not enjoy the power of democracy and freedom."

Rachel McAdams laughed out two beautiful dimples, "You're so right!"

As the car gradually approaches the Red Penguin Service Company, Matthew reminded, "Rachel, you are signing a contract with a large brokerage company. When you encounter such trouble, you should go to the broker. The broker may have a solution."

"There's only the only way." Rachel McAdams parked the car near the Red Penguin Company, "I'll contact him when I look back."

She saw Matthew pushing the car door and getting out of the car, and waved her hand, "Goodbye, Matthew."

Matthew closed the car door, stood by the roadside, and waved his hand, "Goodbye, Rachel."

After Ford drove away, Matthew did not go upstairs immediately. He bought several entertainment newspapers and magazines at the newsstand, including "Premiere" and "Hollywood Reporter" which focused on movies and Hollywood. According to the time Helen Hermann said, the latest promotional posters released by "Gladiator" should also appear in the media.

When he walked towards the door of the Red Penguin Company, he couldn't wait to open the "Premiere" and easily found the page of the report "Gladiator". One of the posters was the scene of him standing in front of a bunch of barbarians roaring angryly.

On the poster is a close-up of his half-body, and his whole face is very clear. Matthew walked into the company's door and wondered if he should treasure these?

"Matthew."

When the front desk officer saw him, he immediately said, "Mr. Liszt told me, you come and see him immediately."

In the second floor office, the bald black man sat in a chair and said to the tall and thin Liszt, "Believe me, there is absolutely nothing wrong. Matthew Horner, that Texas country bumpkin, is still dreaming of a star!"
