Chapter 70 Reconciliation

(Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for a collection! Ask for a reward!)

"What?" Helen Herman couldn't help but wonder, "When did this happen?"

Matthew shrugged, "Just this morning, I just established a relationship before meeting you."

Helen Herman didn't speak immediately, but thought for a while before saying, "You leaked the news to Irina Boyar, I..."

"No," Matthew interrupted. "Britney is my girlfriend now, and we got the role, so I think it's okay."

Helen-Hellman was stunned for a moment. Matthew knew how to stop. She had known this for a long time. After thinking about it, she said, "Okay. This way we can also avoid conflicts with Britney's agency and record company."

She warned again, "You can't hide it for too long."

Matthew shrugged, "Let's go with the flow."

The two went out of Warner Studios, and Matthew took the car of SH Len-Hellman. Before he got to the Angel Agency, he received a call from Britney. Matthew said briefly, telling her that she had already Signed a contract with the crew.

The two said a few more words, and Matthew heard other people's voices from Britney's side. It seemed that he had something to do, so he hung up the phone.

Helen Herman didn't seem to ask Matthew and Britney for the time being, and instead talked about another thing, "There is still more than a month before the crew pays you your first salary, you should stop working part-time and complete the acting class seriously. And the language class, I remember that the class is almost over, right?"

"Well, it will end in mid-October." Matthew has already thought about it, "I will go back to the Los Angeles Performing Arts School tomorrow to resume classes."

"If you don't have enough money..."

Taking the role of Ronald Spears, Helen Herman's attitude towards him seems to be different, "You can temporarily borrow a part from the company's account and wait for your first $20,000 salary to arrive, I will Let the finance deduct this part.”

There is not much money left on Matthew's body. Originally, he was relatively economical, and the basic living expenses were not high enough to support going to the UK next month, but with Britney as a girlfriend, the expenses will inevitably increase significantly, and the money will definitely not enough.

"Okay." He was also polite, "Lend me three thousand dollars first."

Although Helen Herman didn't say it explicitly, Matthew could sense that the agent's attitude towards him was changing. Before getting the role of Ronald Spears, Helen Herman would never let the company loan him his money.

Could this role really turn his acting career around?

The car was parked in the parking space in front of the Angel Agency. SH Len-Hellman didn't get out of the car immediately, and added, "Also, this is just the beginning, don't relax your demands on yourself! Keep up the hard work you've done for this role. down."

Matthew unbuckled his seat belt. "I know."

This small supporting role is still far from his goal of becoming a big Hollywood star.

After getting out of the car and following Helen Herman into the Angels Brokerage Company, Matthew went to the finance department to apply for a loan of $3,000, and finally became a debtor.

In the next time, Matthew started a very regular life and rest. He got up every morning to exercise, went to the Los Angeles Performing Arts School in the morning to take an acting class, took time to read the newspaper at noon, took a language class in the afternoon, and returned to the apartment after the language class. Reading and watching videos to imitate the former Oscar winners...

He lived a very fulfilling day, and it was also because Britney was not an ordinary person.

Although the two had just established their relationship, generally speaking, it was the time to fall in love, but after the audition, Matthew only met Britney once, or when Britney left Los Angeles in the VIP lounge at the airport. No one spoke for more than five minutes.

Britney is still in the promotion period for her first album. Next, she will run announcements all over the United States and prepare for next year's world tour.

There is very little free time.

This is also impossible. A popular singer is far more busy than a movie star.

In the words of Helen Herman, the time and itinerary of a popular singer can be summed up in a few places: recording studios, planes, hotels and performances.

As for the time left for myself, it is pitiful.

Except for Helen Herman, a must-know agent, Matthew didn't reveal his relationship with Britney to anyone, but he didn't deliberately hide it, and everything went with the flow.

Britney's publicity schedule is unimaginably busy. She can only take fifteen minutes a day to talk to Matthew on the phone. Fortunately, the MV she recorded is about to be released. The record company also invited Matthew to attend the MV's premiere ceremony in New York. Then the two can meet.

This time, the audition experience for the role of Ronald Spears, especially the long and arduous preparation period, made Matthew more calm, and he also understood one thing, off-site factors have an impact on the audition, but the audition Performance is also key.

For example, people at the level of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, it is difficult for ordinary people and things to impress them. They have been famous for a long time and have high status. They cherish feathers and good reputation more than ordinary people. , If it is not related to a special person or thing, the performance of the audition room is the decisive factor.

Just like at the beginning, Matthew cherished the courses in the performance class very much. After more than five months of study, he also made obvious progress. However, because he started too late, and his talent was not very good, he would wait for the performance class to finish. At that time, David Astor still believed that his performance was still at the most elementary superficial level, and among the dozen or so students in the class, it was only a medium level.

At the same time, the language class also ended all lessons.

In any case, this six-month course has benefited Matthew a lot.

"The course is over."

Walking out of the language class together, Matthew put on his backpack and asked Rachel McAdams, "Are you still going back to Canada?"

A few days after he returned to the class again, Rachel McAdams told him that he was going to wait for the end of the acting class to go back to Canada to develop, and then to try to Hollywood in the future.

"There's less competition in Canada." Rachel McAdams seemed determined. "There are more opportunities."

She laughed with two dimples, not without envy, "If I can get the roles of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's crew like you, I will continue to develop in Hollywood."

Matthew and Rachel McAdams have been in the same acting class for half a year. Matthew and Rachel McAdams are also friends, but he is too busy to help himself, so he can only say, "When there is a suitable opportunity, come back again. "

It's a hundred times better than staying in LA and doing nothing and ending up being another Rachel.

The two walked out of the school gate. Rachel McAdams stopped, looked in the direction of Hollywood Hills, and suddenly said, "I really hate being here."

She showed her dimples again, "I will definitely come back."

"Wait for you to come back." Matthew said with a smile, "I'll treat you to a big meal."

Rachel McAdams looked back and turned to Matthew, "Okay, it's a deal!"

Matthew held out a hand, Rachel McAdams patted it, and the two confirmed the deal.

Afterwards, Rachel McAdams got into the car and left the Los Angeles Performing Arts School to return to Canada tonight.

Watching Rachel McAdams' car go away, Matthew considers himself lucky.

There are so many actors at the bottom of Hollywood, how many of them can spend more than half a year, from a beginner to a more important role actor with a total investment of more than 100 million US dollars?

Matthew didn't stay any longer. He quickly returned to the apartment and called Helen Herman. Recently, according to Helen Herman's suggestion, he has called Angelina Jolie several times. The number was only connected once. The person who was connected was not the previous assistant. It was another person. The other person said a few words to him, then hung up the phone, and then he couldn't get through to that number again.

Helen Herman tried to get in touch with "Girls of Souls" producer Georgia Kaykendith, and wanted Matthew to attend the "Girls of Souls" premiere red carpet, but Georgia Kaykendi Stacey never responded.

The call came to Helen Herman, and Matthew hung up after hearing a few words from the agent. Georgia Kekendis emailed Helen Herman this afternoon and declined her request.

In other words, the premiere of "The Girl Who Moved Soul" has nothing to do with Matthew.

Matthew didn't have much hope at first, he just tried his best. He is just a small supporting role with two simple lines, and it is normal to be rejected.

Want to come to Angelina - Jolie and Winona - Ryder two big actresses, no one wants to see him.

Whether it was Matthew or Helen Herman, they both cut off the idea of ​​continuing the Angelina-Jolie route, especially Matthew, except for the anticipated Britney MV debut, all his energy turned to preparing for Rhone De Spears' character above.

There are so many characters in this drama, and if you want to impress the media and the audience, you must have an excellent performance.

To that end, after several phone calls with Hawke Breton and Eric Polk, Matthew made a short-answer plan for himself.

Exercise every morning, limited by funds and equipment, mainly to run and push-ups in a small park; afternoon is the time to read and study scripts and characters; at night, watch carefully collected video of actors and imitate their performances; before going to bed Talk to Britney on the phone before.

For a long time, Matthew didn't even leave Westwood, and his preparation for the role of Ronald Spears was only a lot more than before the audition!

Matthew doesn't know much about the truth, but believes that opportunities are reserved for those who are well prepared.

Although he stayed in Ximu District honestly, some things could not be avoided.

In late October, lawyer Wilson and Helen Herman called successively, and great progress was made in the out-of-court settlement negotiations with the company where the "Tarot Tarot" crew is located. The two sides basically reached an agreement and needed Matthew as a party. Attend the final negotiation and sign the settlement.
