Chapter 029 (1/2)
Airship bar near Santa Monica Beach.
Leaving wma headquarters, Matthew Broderick arrived with a group of close friends.
At this time, sitting in the card seat overlooking the dance floor on the second floor of the bar, thinking of the events of the past few days, Matthew Broderick was more and more agitated, and suddenly raised his head to fill a bottle of black beer.
He didn't care too much about losing his role in the butterfly effect.
It's nothing more than a slightly better script. Hollywood is not short of scripts. If the boy couldn't be kicked out of the cast at the beginning, he would also take the initiative to quit. I'm already a big star. Of course, I don't need to work with people I hate. That's what Spielberg often does.
However, Matthew Broderick never thought that he was the one who was kicked out in the end.
If it's just like this, maybe it will only be depressed for a while.
Once again, things went beyond his expectation.
Because inexplicably involved in this unfortunate thing, he not only became the one who was kicked out, but also had to sign a fox film contract at a low price.
Three million dollars.
After ”war game” three years ago, his pay has reached so much.
Now, the box office success of ”the genius of skipping classes” is even in the top ten of this year's box office list, but he still has to sign a contract for only $3 million.
Damn wma.
In Norman Broca's office in the afternoon, Matthew Broderick almost turned over on the spot and fired him directly.
However, he did not dare to do so.
The contract with wma is only the most important. In the past six months, so many people have switched to CAA, but most of them have not expired. The point is, he knew that if Norman Broca was in a hurry, he would probably destroy himself.
In this world, it is his agent who knows the privacy of a star best.
FACK！
With a low curse, Matthew Broderick could not bear to smash his beer bottle into the crowd downstairs. He almost wanted to go mad because of his pent up anger.
Looking back at the dance floor downstairs, Matthew Broderick wanted to get another bottle of beer. He noticed the blonde girl whispering in the arms of his best friend Alan Satler opposite the ring-shaped card seat, and suddenly remembered the guy who passed by wma headquarters in the afternoon.
It's all because of the damned butterfly effect.
It's all about that kid.
Pushing a girl away from him, Matthew Brodrick raised his hand to Christie Swanson, then got up and walked across.
On the other side of the deck, I saw Matthew Broderick coming, and the others were pushing a little to the side.
Sitting between Alan Satler and mark Stein, Matthew Broderick asked Christie Swanson, ”Christie, don't you know that Simon westero?”
When Matthew asked, mark Stein on his left came up to him.
A few days ago, mark Stein was deeply impressed by his experience on the dance floor in the bar. Because of his struggling appearance in Simon westero's hands at that time, some people even began to call him ”monkey” recently. This unknowingly spread nickname has made mark Stein a laughing stock in many people's eyes.
As Matthew Broderick's best friend, mark Stein is still very clear about the context of the recent wma series of events.
At this time, hearing Matthew Broderick mention Simon westero, he is acutely aware that the time has come for his revenge.
Different from the ordinary people outside the circle, during this period, many Hollywood eyes began to unconsciously pay attention to a young man named Simon westero.
Christie Swanson also realized that Simon was no longer a nobody a few weeks ago. However, she did not feel that the other side can be compared with Matthew, a Hollywood celebrity.
When Matthew Broderick asked Simon, Christie Swanson didn't even want to mention him. He shook his head and said, ”Matthew, it was just a chance encounter that day. All I know is that he works at Griffin supermarket on 25th Street
Matthew brodrickton was a bit disappointed.
If Christie Swanson knew where Simon lived, he would like to take a group of close friends to him at once to clean up the guy and vent his depression and irritability.
Now, that guy has made 200000 dollars with one script. Obviously, he can't work as a salesman in a supermarket.
Mark Stein noticed Matthew Broderick's lost expression and said, ”Matthew, maybe we can go to the supermarket. Even if he doesn't work there, other people in the supermarket should know his whereabouts.”
Matthew Broderick, however, began to hesitate. He was a man who was afraid of trouble.Seeing this, mark Stein continued: ”Matthew, it's Simon westero's play that's responsible for all these things. Don't you want to clean up that guy?”
Mark Stein said at the end of the speech, with an obvious gnashing of teeth in his voice.
Alan Satler, who was hugging his girlfriend, heard mark Stein's words and laughed loudly: ”monkey, do you want to clean up that Simon westero?”
The young people around laughed loudly.
Mark Stein rose red, pointed to Ellen Satler and said, ”don't you dare call me monkey again.”
Ellen setress, not afraid, raised her voice and frowned. ”Monkey!”
Matthew Broderick saw mark Stein jump up and about to pounce on Alan Satler. He grabbed him and said, ”don't make a damn noise.”
So Matthew Broderick got up and said, ”that's all for today. Women stay. Men follow me.”
After hearing the conversation, several young people had already understood Matthew Broderick's intention. Mark Stein first jumped up again, and the other young people also got up and walked out with Matthew Broderick.
Christie Swanson, who was left in the card seat by her boyfriend, watched a group of boys leave cheerfully, but shrugged indifferently.
It's just a fight.
Or someone will get a beating.
But it's no big deal.
It's already over nine in the evening.
Matthew Broderick and his party drove two cars from the airship bar and soon found Griffin supermarket on 25th Street in midtown.
When a young man who was sent to inquire about Simon westrow's information got out of the car, he could easily distinguish the figure standing at the cash register behind the glass door of the supermarket.
After confirming the target, mark Stein in the car behind immediately ran to the front BMW and knocked on the window. When the window rolled down, he said to Matthew Broderick in the co pilot, ”Matthew, shall we go in and drag that guy out directly?”
Before Matthew Broderick answered, Alan Satler, who was in charge of driving, scolded, ”you're stupid. You'll be taken as a robbery if you do this. Of course, it's waiting for the guy to get off work. And mark, what the hell are you doing with a baseball bat? You're going to kill people. ”
Mark Stein thought that he would get revenge soon, and he didn't agree with Alan Satler. He waved his baseball bat and said, ”I know how to fight. You don't have to teach me.”
Young people have similar part-time experience. They know that the 24-hour supermarket will change shifts at about 11 a.m.
After spending more than an hour carelessly, Matthew Brodrick and others drove back to Griffin supermarket, and soon saw Simon westero riding a bicycle and turning out from the alley behind the supermarket.
The two cars immediately started and quietly followed.
Walking south along 25th Street, Simon westero turns directly to Santa Monica Avenue, which is still busy in the early hours of the morning. Obviously, it's still not the place to start.
It continued to follow for some time, until Simon westero turned into a narrow street with sparse street lights between residential areas, and the two cars tacitly accelerated together.
”I won't pass,” Matthew Broderick thought, looking at the nearer figure in front of him. He cautiously said to some eager friends in the carriage, ”you beat him up. I'll invite you to Las Vegas next week.”
Hearing Matthew Broderick's promise, the expressions of several young people in the carriage became more excited.
Then, Alan Satler stepped on the brake, the door opened, and the three youths rushed like Simon westero riding in front of him.
A figure behind him seemed to be more impatient. He waved a baseball bat to more than three people and chased him to the back of Simon westero. He waved the baseball bat mercilessly and hit him on the back of his backpack.
Matthew Broderick, who was left in the car, saw Simon westrow on the bicycle in front of him being swung down on the road by Mark Stein. Several other youths then cooperated with him to drag the young man on the ground to the next alley. A trace of worry flashed in his heart, and then turned into excitement. He even regretted that he had just not gone up together.
In the darkened lane, the sound of fists and sticks on the body continued.
Simon almost fainted with the baseball bat that just came out of the blue.
The only instinct left made Simon curl up and put his hands on the key part of his head.
What's the matter?
