Airship Bar near Santa Monica Beach.

After leaving the WMA headquarters, Matthew Broderick arrived here with a group of buddies.

At this time, sitting in a booth on the second floor of the bar overlooking the dance floor below, Matthew Broderick was getting more and more irritable thinking about the events of the past few days, and he suddenly raised his head and drank a full bottle of dark beer.

Go down.

He didn't care too much about losing his role in "The Butterfly Effect".

It's nothing more than a slightly better script. The most indispensable thing in Hollywood is scripts. If he couldn't kick that kid out of the crew, he would have quit voluntarily. He is already a big star, so of course he doesn't need to hate himself.

People working together is something Spielberg often does.

However, Matthew Broderick never expected that he would be the one kicked out in the end.

If it were just like this, I might just be depressed for a while.

The development of things was once again beyond his expectation.

Because he was inexplicably involved in this unfortunate incident, he not only became the one kicked out, but also had to sign a movie contract with Fox at a low price.

3 million US dollars.

After "War Games" three years ago, his salary has already reached this much.

Now, "The Genius" is so successful at the box office that it can even enter the top ten of this year's box office rankings, but he still has to sign another film contract with a salary of only US$3 million.

Damn WMA.

In the afternoon in Norman Broca's office, Matthew Broderick almost turned against him on the spot and fired him directly.

However, he still didn't dare to do it.

The contract with WMA was only the least important. In the past six months, so many people have switched jobs to C+, and most of them have not yet completed their contract period. The key is that he knows that if he pisses off Norman Brocka,

He will probably destroy himself.

In this world, the person who knows a celebrity’s privacy best is often his agent.

FACK!

Cursing in a low voice, Matthew Broderick resisted by smashing the beer bottle in his hand into the crowd downstairs. The suppressed anger in his chest that had nowhere to vent made him almost go crazy.

Looking back at the dance floor downstairs, Matthew Broderick wanted to grab another bottle of wine when he inadvertently noticed the blond girl whispering in the arms of his best friend Alan Sattler opposite the circular booth.

Suddenly I remembered the guy I passed by at the WMA headquarters in the afternoon.

It's all because of the damn "Butterfly Effect".

It's all because of that boy.

Reaching out to push away a girl who was clinging to him, Matthew Broderick raised his hand towards Christy Swanson who was opposite him, then simply stood up and walked towards the opposite side.

On the other side of the booth, I saw Matthew Broderick approaching, and everyone else squeezed aside.

Sitting down between Alan Sattler and another best friend Mark Stein, Matthew Broderick unabashedly asked Christy Swanson: "Christy, don't you know that Simon Weiss?"

Tello?"

Hearing Matthew ask this, Mark Stein on his left immediately came closer.

The experience on the dance floor of the bar a few days ago left an unforgettable memory for Mark Stein. Because of the way he struggled in the hands of Simon Westeros at that time, some people even started calling him "monkey" recently. This word has spread unknowingly.

The nickname has made Mark Stein a laughing stock in the eyes of many people.

As a best friend of Matthew Broderick, Mark Stein is still very aware of the ins and outs of a series of events in WMA in recent times.

At this time, when he heard Matthew Broderick take the initiative to mention Simon Westeros, he was keenly aware that his revenge might be coming.

Unlike ordinary people outside the circle, during this period, many eyes in Hollywood began to unknowingly pay attention to a young man named Simon Westeros.

Christy Swanson also realized that Simon was no longer the unknown person he was a few weeks ago. However, she did not feel at all that he could compare with a popular Hollywood star like Matthew.

When Matthew Broderick asked about Simon, Christy Swanson even didn't want to mention this person. She shook her head and said: "Matthew, we just met by chance that day. I only know that he was probably at No. 25 in Midtown."

Work at a convenience store down the street.”

Matthew Broderick was suddenly disappointed.

If Christy Swanson knew where Simon lived, he would want to bring a group of buddies over there immediately, give that guy a good beating, and vent his depression and irritability.

Now, that guy is making $200,000 from a screenplay and is obviously no longer working in a convenience store.

Mark Stein noticed Matthew Broderick's disappointed expression and immediately said: "Matthew, maybe we can go to that convenience store and have a look. Even if he no longer works there, other people in the convenience store should know about him.

's whereabouts."

Matthew Broderick began to hesitate again. He is a person who is very afraid of trouble.

Seeing this, Mark Stein continued to tease: "Matthew, these recent bad things were all caused by a script by Simon Westeros. Don't you want to deal with that guy?"

When Mark Stein spoke to the end, his tone was obviously gritted, and his voice could not help but become a little louder.

Alan Sattler, who was hugging his girlfriend, heard Mark Stein's words and laughed loudly: "Monkey, you want to deal with that Simon Westeros, right?"

The young people around laughed loudly.

Mark Stein straightened up with a flushed face, pointed at Alan Sattler and said: "You dare to call me a monkey again."

Alan Sattler was not at all afraid. He raised his eyebrows in protest and raised his voice: "Monkey!"

When Matthew Broderick saw Mark Stein jump up and was about to pounce on Allen Sattler, he grabbed him and said: "Stop fucking making trouble."

With that said, Matthew Broderick then stood up and said: "That's it for today. The women will stay, and the men will follow me."

After hearing the conversation just now, several young people already understood Matthew Broderick's intention. Mark Stein was the first to jump up again. Several other young people also stood up happily, following Matthew.

Broderick walked out.

Christy Swanson, who was left in the booth by her boyfriend, watched a group of boys leave in a hurry, and just shrugged indifferently.

Just a fight.

In other words, some guy will get a beating.

But it's not a big deal.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Matthew Broderick and his group of six people drove two cars from the Airship Bar and quickly found the convenience store on 25th Street in Midtown.

I was originally thinking about how to get Simon Westeros' address from the clerk. A young man who was sent to find out the information just got out of the car and easily identified the figure standing behind the cashier behind the glass door of the convenience store.

.

After confirming the target, Mark Stein in the car behind him immediately ran to the BMW in front, knocked on the window, waited for the window to roll down, and said to Matthew Broderick in the passenger seat: "

Matthew, should we just go in and drag the guy out?”

Before Matthew Broderick could answer, Alan Sellers, who was in charge of driving, scolded: "You are stupid, you will be regarded as a robbery if you do this. Of course, you will wait until the guy gets off work. And, Mark, you

What the hell are you doing with a baseball bat, it's going to kill someone."

Mark Stein thought that he would get revenge soon, and he no longer had the same experience as Allen Sellers. He waved the baseball bat in his hand and said: "I know how to fight. You don't need to fucking teach me."

.”

Many young people have similar part-time experience, and they know that shifts at 7-11 convenience stores will change at 11 o'clock in the morning.

After wasting the next hour or so, Matthew Broderick and others drove back to the convenience store, and soon saw Simon Westero riding a bicycle from the alley behind the convenience store.

come out.

The two cars started immediately and followed quietly.

After walking south along 25th Street for a while, Simon Westeros turned directly onto Santa Monica Boulevard, which was still quite busy in the early morning. This was obviously still not the place to do anything.

They continued to follow for a while, until Simon Westeros turned into a narrow street with only a few sparse street lights between residential areas, and the two cars started working together in tacit understanding.

"I won't go over there." Looking at the figure getting closer and closer in front of him, Matthew Broderick thought for a while and cautiously said to the few eager buddies in the carriage: "You guys give him a good beating."

, I invite everyone to go to Las Vegas next week."

Upon hearing Matthew Broderick's promise, several young people in the carriage showed excited expressions on their faces.

Immediately, Alan Serrett stepped on the brakes, opened the car door, and the three young men rushed over like Simon Westeros who was riding in front.

A figure behind the three people seemed to be even more impatient. He waved a baseball bat and passed the three people. He chased behind Simon Westeros and swung the baseball bat mercilessly, hitting Simon Westeros hard.

On the back of a backpack.

Matthew Broderick, who was staying in the car, saw Simon Westeros on the bicycle in front being knocked down on the road by Mark Stein. Several other young people immediately cooperated with each other and dragged the young man up on the ground.

As he walked towards the alley next to him, a trace of worry flashed through his heart, and then it turned into excitement, and he even regretted not going up there with him just now.

In the darker alley, the muffled sound of fists, feet and sticks hitting the flesh continued.

The sudden baseball bat just now almost made Simon faint.

The remaining instinctive consciousness made Simon curl up and put his hands on the vital parts of his head.

What's going on here?

Such a doubt arose in my mind.
