Opening the profile of "The Mummy Returns", Matthew directly found the focus of his attention - the role that Helen Herman wanted to submit the application profile for him.

This character doesn't appear for a long time, but it carries a lot of weight, and he remembers this character, once when he watched pirated movies, that character was very impressed.

Scorpion King!

A strong, brave and terrifying king who sold his soul to Anubis!

Seeing this, Matthew couldn't help but look down at himself, although he didn't have incomparably exaggerated muscles, he was also very strong, especially after military training, he looked even stronger.

It's not self-aggrandizement, it's a strong self-confidence that comes from the real situation.

He browsed through the information above The requirements of the "The Mummy Returns" crew to recruit actors for this role, and there should be no problem in terms of appearance.

This type of action type of role does not require high acting skills, Matthew feels that it is more suitable for him, but it may be very difficult to get it, just like Helen Herman said, "The Mummy Returns" is a sequel to the blockbuster film "The Mummy", and the film does not have to worry about recruiting new actors at all except for the original cast.

"I'm going to have to give it a try. Matthew continued to look down, "The Mummy Returns" was mainly filmed in the United Kingdom and Morocco, from July to November, and there was a certain time conflict with "Almost Famous", he sighed, "Just take it as an alternative." ”

In case the audition for "Almost Fame" is not successful, you can still fight for this job.

Finally, he looked at the material of "Fast and Furious" again, a very ordinary little supporting role.

Matthew didn't pay much attention to it, and let Helen Herman deliver the information, which can also be used as an alternative.

Whether you can catch more fish with this strategy of casting a wide net depends on the audition and operation.

Putting away the materials for "The Mummy Returns" and "Fast and Furious", Matthew began to focus on "Near Fame", in which he had to align himself with Helen Herman, and the angel agency had collected a lot of material for him related to "Near Fame".

He took out the materials he had received in his handbag in the afternoon and looked at them carefully.

The script of a film project is the focus of confidentiality, and it is difficult for people who have not signed a formal contract with the crew to access it, and even those who get the script often have to abide by the confidentiality clause.

There is no script in the material, only some hearsay depictions of the plot.

What is certain is that "Almost Famous" is a movie about rock and roll, with the main characters being a rock band, a boy who wants to be a music critic, and a beautiful female assistant.

The people at Angel Brokerage collected information specifically for him based on these and the information revealed by the crew for the audition role.

These may not be 100% reliable, but Matthew trusts the ability of Angel Agency, after all, he was able to get the role of Ronald Spears from the crew of "Band of Brothers", and the information provided by the agency contributed a lot.

Of course, since "Almost Famous" does not have the original book, there is much less information this time than when it was preparing to audition for "Band of Brothers".

Matthew first went through the general information, and the information was divided into several main areas according to the characteristics of the characters and the theme of the rock band: drugs, sex, touring, flesh and bones, etc.

Needless to say, even people like Matthew know that rock and drugs have never been separated, and it is no exaggeration to say that rock musicians who don't take drugs only live in fairy tales on Lao Mei's side.

Sex or something, anyone who has been in Hollywood knows that the most chaotic thing in Hollywood is not the actor and model circle, but the rock circle, the people in a successful rock band, whether they are men or women, if they haven't been on a few men and women, haven't had a group party, and don't have the face to go out to meet people.

Tours and the like are similar to concerts or fan meetings.

Matthew's focus is on flesh and bones, which is a completely new concept that he has never been exposed to, and it is something that must be understood, and the role of Russell Hammond he competes for is the guitarist of the band, and there is an entangled relationship with the heroine, according to the information provided by the source, the heroine is the personal assistant of the band on the surface, but in fact may be a senior flesh and skin.

Probably knowing that Matthew didn't know much about this, the person who collected the information specifically explained the flesh and bones.

To put it simply, the phenomenon of "groupie" appeared in the 60s of the last century, when rock music was booming and the star-chaser group was thriving. Fucker" instead of the word "groupie".

Matthew's own understanding is that if rock stars are gods, then the flesh and bones worship them as fascinated as believers.

The information also gave him an example, Beebe Beale is one of the most famous flesh and blood in the rock circle in the last century, nicknamed the rock muse, beautiful and beautiful, he got involved with rock stars at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and he slept in style in the later period, many rock bands knelt down and begged Fang Ze to sleep with Bibi Beer, even if she was pregnant with a child, these people also supported her to give birth.

This kid is the famous Liv Taylor.

According to the information, rock is the glory of flesh and bones, and if you want to understand rock and roll, flesh and skin are an indispensable part.

In the relevant information collected by the angel agency, the role that Matthew competes for is similar to this complex relationship with the heroine who has been confirmed to be played by Kate Hudson.

Of course, this may not be completely accurate, after all, the people who collect information can't see the script of "Almost Famous", so they can only inquire in many ways.

In addition, the character may also be bisexual.

Matthew didn't know anything about this part of the people, and after thinking about it for a while, he considered whether to go to a special group of people to get in touch with it? The audition for the role is in late May, and it is estimated that the preliminary personnel selection will be carried out in the middle of the year, and there is not much time left for him.

Fortunately, the audition for "The Mummy Returns" was in early June, and "Fast and Furious" was even later, which did not conflict with "Almost Fame", and in case the audition for this role did not go well, he could still participate in the audition of these two crews.

More troublesomely, the audition for "The Mummy Returns" was in London, and the audition for "Fast and Furious" was in Los Angeles.

But in front of the plane, these are minor problems.

Until the evening, Matthew didn't go out again, and even ordered takeout for dinner, and carefully read the information provided by the angel agency, and had a clear outline of the crew and roles that were about to participate in the competition.

In the rest of the time, he put aside other things at hand for a while and began to prepare for the audition for the role, even if Helen Herman submitted his personal application to the crew of "Near Fame" and did not get a response, but there was certainly nothing wrong with preparing early.

To this end, Matthew actively kept on the phone with Helen Herman, and asked the angel agency to help him connect with a once famous band guitarist to talk about the crazy experiences of the year, and to connect with several old former flesh and blood skins, most of whom refused, but there was also one who was willing to share those experiences with him as an actor.

The woman, Lori Makdos, uttered something that simply left Matthew dumbfounded.

She vividly described to Matthew the past of Mick Jagger, the lead singer of the Rolling Stones.

"Mick has a great reputation for his abilities, and he likes pretty women and multi-faces, especially models who are young enough to be his daughter. Although he is thin, he is big and good, and his ventriloquist is as good as Steven Taylor...... Well, it's the lead singer of Aerosmith, and the Rolling Stone logo is a tongue sticking out, which is the best way to describe Mick......"

Lori Makdos also rolled up her sleeves and showed her arms, after many years, pinholes can still be faintly seen on it, and the dense appearance is a little terrifying.

"I just want to live again, and I have to choose this life. ”

In the end, Lori Makdos did not regret it at all, and before Matthew left, he said, "It was a glorious time, when I felt that nothing was impossible, and I couldn't get AIDS if I messed around." Unlike now, everyone in the entertainment industry is like a frightened bird, being photographed by the paparazzi as soon as they go out, and the past is gone. ”

Talking to the guitarist and Lori Makdos gave Matthew a lot of benefits and a deeper understanding of the rock scene.

But he did more than that, in order to master the mentality of a bi-sexual, he went to a gay and lesbian bar on weekend nights, only to be harassed by many people, not only did he gain nothing, but he also ran away in embarrassment.

In a metropolis like Los Angeles, there is absolutely no shortage of bisexual groups, and people outside the circle are difficult to find them, and Matthew can only call Helen Herman to ask for her help.

Helen Herman just asked him to wait for news, Matthew took the time to buy a computer, and after a few more days, she couldn't find the right person.

There are many such people in the Hollywood circle, but these people will not talk to a young actor about their experience and experience of double sex and love.

Matthew had to give up for the time being, waiting for the crew of "Almost Famous" to come to the audition invitation, and it was not too late to find it through the first round of auditions.
