Sitting on the chair in a daze, more memories appeared in Matthew's head, confirming that the crew was preparing to shoot a porno!
What's more important is that the person before not only knew about it and agreed willingly, but also signed a formal contract!
As for why, of course, it was for the money!
And that agent fooled him, saying this was a path to Hollywood, a backdoor to Hollywood movies!
Matthew couldn't help rolling his eyes. Even he, who was not familiar with Americans, knew that after shooting this kind of movie, how could one still become a Hollywood star? Perhaps that person wasn't unaware, but blinded by money!
The person who came to Los Angeles a few months ago had a very difficult time, he couldn't even find a background role to play as an actor, money was scarce, and people were poor. Coupled with the nonsense he encountered from that agent, he, who looked good on the outside and even better on the inside, just like many young people, walked down this path!
No, it should be said, preparing to walk down this path, shooting hasn't even started yet, right?
Thinking of this, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief. If he really shot this kind of movie, and it was widely distributed in the future, where would he have the face to meet people?
For someone like him, uneducated and without any skills, perhaps being an actor was a way out, but being this kind of actor was definitely a dead end!
Matthew would rather be hit by a hammer again than act in such a movie!
Confirming this point, Matthew looked at his body, wearing only a pair of boxers, and rummaged through the dressing room, combining his memories to quickly find his clothes and change without hesitation.
It was an old denim outfit, washed until it turned white, but wearing this outfit, Matthew felt at ease, and when he changed clothes, he also discovered something. Why did that agent fool the previous guy?
Because his conditions were indeed good, tall and strong, with a handsome appearance, and he had a dream of becoming a star...
Thud! Thud! Thud——
The urgent knocking sounded again, and the voice he heard before came through the door, "Matthew! What are you doing?"
This voice seemed a bit angry, "Didn't I say, come out in fifteen minutes, now..."
Matthew walked over, opened the door, and looked at the bald white man with glasses outside. Relevant information immediately appeared in his mind. This was the agent who fooled people, Morris.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Matthew wearing the clothes he came in with, the bald man named Morris cursed with a word starting with F, then came in and closed the door, glaring, "What are you doing?"
"I'm quitting!" Matthew said directly.
Morris's eyes widened even more, as if he didn't understand Matthew's words, "What did you say? Don't use your damn Texas hillbilly accent!"
What Matthew blurted out just now was a weird mixture of neither Chinese nor English, which even sounded awkward to himself. At this moment, he couldn't help coughing softly twice, making a simple adjustment before saying, "I... I... said... I'm quitting."
Obviously, he needed to adapt to American English.
"You're quitting?" Morris thought Matthew was joking, "Don't babble, hurry up and change clothes, the whole crew is waiting for you."
"I said..." Matthew adjusted again and felt that he could speak more fluently, speaking very seriously, "I'm quitting! This is not a joke!"
Morris looked at Matthew's face, confirming that it was true, his gaze instantly turned cold, "Are you crazy? This is not your driver's job, you can't quit just by saying so! You have a contract with the crew, if you breach it..."
His voice turned colder, "You'll have to pay a large sum of money!"
"I don't have money!" Matthew had already checked. There were only a few tens of dollars in his wallet.
"Then stop talking nonsense and stop messing around!" Morris's tone gradually softened, "With this contract, you can get eight thousand dollars! With your conditions, you will definitely become a big star and make big money! In the future, a movie will give you fifty thousand dollars, or even a hundred thousand dollars, it's not a problem!"
As an agent who cheated and deceived young people, Morris knew very well how to impress these young people, "With money, you won't have to be a driver anymore, you can do whatever you want. The opportunity is right in front of you. If you miss it, you won't have it again!"
He looked down, "Not everyone has such a good opportunity as you." A large hand landed on Matthew's shoulder, patting it gently, "Don't waste your talent!"
Stared at by such eyes, Matthew's hair stood on end, and at the same time, he sighed inwardly, luckily the previous guy hadn't done anything irreversible...
"Do you know how powerful this crew is?" Morris was obviously a cunning guy, "The main shareholder of the company that owns the crew is General Electric! Dealing with someone like you is as easy as crushing an ant."
The stick was used up, and Morris threw out another sweet date, "When you came in, I introduced you to Jessica, do you think she's beautiful?"
Matthew knew he was talking about the blonde woman and nodded involuntarily.
Morris suddenly put on a strange tone, "Jessica is a recognized beauty in the industry!"
He patted Matthew's shoulder again, "Money and beautiful women are right in front of you, don't you want them?"
"I... I..."
As someone who had struggled for twenty years, the temptation of money and beautiful women was indeed great for Matthew. He swallowed saliva, "Of course I want them!"
Hearing this, Morris smiled. These poor country boys who had been tricked didn't know how to resist such temptation. He laughed, thinking that the ones he had tricked before also had last-minute regrets, but under coercion and temptation, they all gave in.
This would naturally not be an exception.
Morris reached out to open the door, but turned back to say, "Get ready for fifty thousand dollars! The company always keeps its promises!"
Matthew was now fearless, he looked at Morris with disdain, "Goodbye."
With that said, he was ready to leave.
Morris blocked his way, "Kid, I'll make you bankrupt, and then you'll come begging to me!"
"Whatever." Matthew was now fearless, he looked past Morris, "Los Angeles is so big, do you think you can control everything?"
