Chapter 49 There Is a Shortcut

"It's about to start shooting."

Seeing someone coming, Matthew said to Britney, "We'll talk when we have time."

Britney took Matthew's polite words seriously, "Okay! Next time I invite you to my party."

Common hobbies or dislikes made her feel comfortable chatting with Matthew, "Give me your mobile phone number."

Matthew opened the notebook, wrote a series of numbers on it, tore it off and gave it to Britney, then took a few steps back to his seat.

The crew was almost ready, and Britney's assistant came over to inform her that she was ready to start filming.

The first shot was of Britney and the dance team. Britney left to go to the dance team. Matthew was left alone in the rest of the actors under the tent. The sun was shining outside. Go, otherwise the makeup will be troublesome.

Sitting here and waiting for a while, the agent Helen Herman came over.

"I thought you were gone," Matthew said casually.

Helen Herman pulled up a chair and sat next to Matthew, "Britney has a good impression of you?"

Matthew didn't deny it, "It's okay."

"Actually, there is a shortcut in front of you." Helen Herman looked at Britney not far away and said, "If you can catch up with her, your fame will skyrocket in the short term."

"I know." Matthew didn't have any confidence in this regard. "The question is, can Britney like me?"

Helen Herman seems to be encouraging, "How do you know if you don't try?"

"Does this help me?" Ma Xiuer asked.

If you go step by step like now, if you are unlucky, it will be difficult to become a big star in a few years.

"Fame is always useful, even if it is fired by the media." Helen Herman's idea is very simple. If this kind of thing is done well, it can make her plan a lot faster. Hugh Horner was drowned out by public opinion and scolding from fans.

If such a small actor is ruined, it will be ruined, and she can find another one at any time.

Matthew was seriously considering Helen Herman's suggestion and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Helen Herman added, "As far as I know, Britney Spears doesn't have a boyfriend right now."

"Oh..." Matthew responded subconsciously. He really had nothing to say, and said casually, "I have never chased a girl."

Although the guy before was like many Americans, he did a lot of shit when he was in society, but he never pursued his girlfriend seriously.

"That's it." Helen Herman stood up and prepared to leave, "When you have time, prepare me a copy of your emotional resume, the more detailed the better."

The current Matthew, for her, is different from the previous Matthew, "By the way, if you are in love, no matter who the object is, you must tell me this manager as soon as possible."

For a small actor, this is enough, after all, Matthew is still a long way from the star level.

After Helen Herman left, Matthew was left alone under the tent. He looked at the beach in front of him. Britney Spears stood in front of the eight dancers, wearing low-waisted pants and a short T-shirt, so that She showed her pure white waist and small navel. When the music started, Britney began to twist her body while stepping on the street beat of the music.

Matthew couldn't tell what dance Britney danced, but he could tell that Britney was not the bucket waist she used to be, but a terrible water snake waist.

That charming waist twisted with the music, attracting the attention of countless people including him.

"It seems... like..."

Watching Britney wiggling her sexy and hot body in front of the camera, Matthew couldn't help pinching his chin, "Helen said it's also a way?"

But he shook his head slightly, with the current situation, can he catch up with Britney Spears?

whether in another country,

Still here, Matthew had never had a girlfriend, and he didn't know how to pursue a girl, especially what he had seen and heard on the other side of the Pacific Ocean gave him very bad hints that a man Even if there is a lot of potential in the future, if there is no money, no identity, and no status in front of you, it will be very difficult to pursue a girl.

As for whether it is true or false, Matthew has not tried it, so it is not very clear.

However, when he thinks about it, pursuing girls of the same class should have a high chance of success, but if he pursues Britney Spears today, that is the difficulty of purgatory.

Matthew sighed, these things seem not to be considered now.

Of course, if there is a chance, he can also try it. Even if it is unsuccessful, there is no loss. Maybe he can accumulate some experience.

The dances used for the filming were rehearsed a long time ago, and Britney’s special backup dancer was used. The filming went very smoothly. Several shots basically passed two or three times, and it was soon Matthew’s turn to shoot.

Having participated in three movie shootings before, other Matthews can't guarantee that, at least he won't be nervous and subconsciously watching the camera, and his studies in the acting class during this period of time have not been in vain, some simple things can be performed completely.

The crew transitioned to the beach, where Matthew stood barefoot, out of reach of the water.

A makeup artist touches up his makeup while another stylist sorts out his clothes.

Director Zach Snyder watched Matthew and Acrobat through the camera lens, giving orders from time to time.

"Roll up your trousers to your knees!" he exclaimed to the stylist. "Show your calf muscles!"

The stylist immediately knelt on one knee on the wet beach, and pulled the trousers of Matthew's white slacks to his knees, exposing the muscles of his calves.

Matthew's height and long legs, such muscle lines not only did not destroy the shape, but made him stronger and more masculine.

"Okay! Clear the scene!" Zach Snyder ordered, "Let's try one."

This is a close-up of Matthew alone, with no other actors present.

"Sometimes! The third rule!" An assistant put the record board in front of the camera lens, "Start now!"

Matthew is facing the sea sideways, with the sunshade on the left and the camera on the right. He can completely ignore these now, just copy his pockets with both hands, look up slightly and look into the distance, fully showing the advantages of this body, which are both innate and acquired.

David Astor, a teacher at the Los Angeles Art School, once said that his performances are superficial and rely too much on appearance. Most of the performances give people a feeling of being handsome and cool.

This scene just needs Matthew to be handsome and cool.

The fan opposite suddenly turned on, and a gust of wind blew violently, causing Matthew's hair to drift backwards.

He stood in the sunlight, like a marble sculpture, the sea water constantly licked the sand under his feet, and occasionally splashes of water splashed on the calf with obvious muscular outline...

"Stop!" Zach Snyder seemed very satisfied. "Okay! This one is over!"

The visors are removed, the cameras are removed, and Matthew follows the crew to the next set.

Under the tent in the rest area, the dancers gathered and watched the MV filming, especially the girls, who kept staring at Matthew.

"He's so handsome!"

A brown-haired girl sighed, "Young and mature, very manly!"

Another black girl didn't see it that way, "He's handsome? Do you have a problem with your eyes? His face is as hard as a rock, with so many muscles, he's not good-looking at all! Or Leonardo DiCaprio. it is good."

"It's not a type!" A blond girl drinking water put down her water glass, "Didn't you see? This person is not sissy at all, especially masculine! This is the real man."

Just as men get together and like to discuss women, women tend to like to discuss men when they get together.

"Okay, stop talking about it!"

The choreographer walked into the rest area and said loudly, "There's going to be your show, hurry up and get ready."

The four girls and four boys in the lounge area instantly quieted down and went to a makeup artist to line up to touch up their makeup.

On the side of the beach trestle, the crew had already arranged the shooting venue in advance. As soon as Matthew and Britney arrived, director Zach Snyder immediately asked people to do the final preparations.

He came to the trestle and talked to Matthew and Britney in person.

Zach Snyder stood on the side of the beach by the cliff and said to Britney, "Miss Spears, after you start filming, you walk forward from where I am now, at a slightly slower pace than normal walking speed, make people I can see your hesitation and worry."

Britney didn't speak, just nodded.

Zach Snyder took a few steps forward, came to Matthew, and said, "You stand here and don't move, and when Miss Spears starts to walk, you look at her face, be a little surprised and happy."

Finally, he stood in the middle of the two and said, "The heroine comes to this position, the two of you look at each other, and give me some feeling of calling."

He looked at the two of them one after another, "OK?"

"Okay!" Matthew said.

The play was simple, much simpler than some of the live performances he practiced in class.

Filming started quickly, and what Matthew had to do was not complicated. When he saw Britney starting to move, he looked her way, and then stared at Britney's face.

Both of them look good, but the expressions on their faces are very single, but it is enough for the MV.

Britney walked to Zack Snyder's preset position, looked up at Matthew, and Matthew looked at her, their eyes met in the air, and the two pairs of eyes stared at each other, as if there were only each other in their eyes.

Zach Snyder looked through the camera, and the two just looked at each other blankly, saying that the call was very reluctant.

But the MV is not a movie, and the appearance of the male and female protagonists is enough to cover up this.

"This one is over!"

Hearing the director's voice, Matthew felt that it was unbelievably smooth today, and the director's requirements were also unbelievably low.

"Your eyes are so bright!" He said looking at Britney, who was opposite. Britney smiled, took a step closer, and lowered her voice, "I brought contact lenses."

"Britney!" There was a greeting from the trestle, "Change shoes and make up and continue shooting!"

Matthew smiled at her, "You go."

Next, there is no scene without him, and he won't be filming until the afternoon.

After going to the rest area to get a work bag and drinking a glass of water, Matthew walked out of the tent and wanted to go back to remove his makeup first. When he walked onto the wooden trestle, on the side of the trestle near the sea, the shooting started again.

This is another dance scene for Britney and her dancers.

Just as Matthew was about to go to the temporary dressing room in the restaurant, there was a sudden scream from the filming area, followed by someone shouting, "Quick! Quickly call the doctor!"
