Chapter 70: Reconciliation

(Ask for recommended votes!Ask for collections!Ask for rewards!)

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

Matthew shrugged, "Just this morning, I just decided on a relationship before meeting you. ”

Helen Herman didn't speak immediately, but thought for a while, and then said, "You leaked the news to Yelena Boyar, I ......"

"No, I don't. Matthew interrupted, "Britney is my girlfriend now, and we got the role, I think it's okay." ”

Helen Herman was stunned for a moment, Matthew knew how to stop in moderation, she already knew this, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay." This way we can also avoid conflicts with Britney's agency and record label. ”

She admonished, "You can't hide it for too long. ”

Matthew shrugged, "Let it be." ”

The two left Warner Studios, Matthew took SH Len Herman's car, and before he arrived at the angel agency, he received a call from Britney, and Matthew briefly told her that she had signed a contract with the crew.

The two spoke a few more words, and Matthew heard other people's voices coming from Britney's side, as if he had something to do, and hung up the phone.

Helen Herman didn't seem to ask Matthew and Britney what they meant for the time being, but instead said something else, "It's still more than a month before the crew pays you your first payment, you don't have to go to work part-time anymore, and finish the acting class and language class seriously, I remember the course is almost over, right?"

"Well, it's over in mid-October. Matthew had already figured it out, "I'll go back to the Los Angeles School of the Performing Arts tomorrow to retake classes." ”

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

Getting the role of Ronald Spears, Helen Herman seems to have a different attitude towards him, "You can temporarily borrow a part from the company's account, and when your first $20,000 salary arrives, I will let the finance deduct this part." ”

Matthew doesn't have much money left, originally he was more frugal, and the cost of basic living expenses was not high, enough to support him to go to the UK next month, but with Britney's girlfriend, the expenses will inevitably increase significantly, and the money is definitely not enough.

"Okay. He was not polite, "Lend me three thousand dollars first." ”

Although Helen Herman didn't say it explicitly, Matthew could sense that his agent's attitude towards him was changing, and Helen Herman would definitely not let the company lend him money until he got the role of Ronald Spears.

Can this role really turn his career as an actor?

The car was parked in the parking space in front of the Angel Agency, and instead of getting out of the car immediately, he added, "Also, this is just the beginning, don't let up your demands on yourself! ”

Matthew unbuckled his seatbelts, "I know. ”

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

Get out of the car and follow Helen Herman into the angel agency, Matthew goes to the finance to go through the procedures for a $3,000 loan, and finally becomes a debtor.

In the following time, Matthew began a very regular life and rest again, getting up every morning to exercise, going to Los Angeles Performing Arts School in the morning to take acting classes, taking time to read newspapers at noon, taking language classes in the afternoon, and returning to the apartment after language classes to read and watch videos to imitate the former Oscar winners......

He lives every day to the fullest, thanks to the fact that Britney is not an ordinary person.

Although the two had just established a relationship, and according to normal circumstances, it was the time of love, but after the audition, Matthew only met Britney once, or when Britney left Los Angeles, in the VIP lounge at the airport, and neither of them spoke for more than five minutes.

Britney is still in the promotion period for her first album, and she has to make announcements all over the United States and prepare for next year's world tour, so she has very little free time.

This is also something that can't be helped, a popular singer is far busier than a movie star.

In Helen Herman's words, the time and itinerary of a popular singer can be summed up in a few locations: recording studios, airplanes, hotels, and performance sets.

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

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

Britney's promotional schedule was unexpectedly busy, and she could only spare fifteen minutes a day to talk to Matthew on the phone, but fortunately, the music video she recorded was about to be released, and the record company also invited Matthew to attend the MV launch ceremony in New York, so that the two of them could meet.

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

For example, characters at the level of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, it is difficult for ordinary people and things to impress them anymore, they have been famous for a long time, their status is high, they cherish their feathers and good reputation more than ordinary people, if there is no special person or thing, the performance of the audition room is the decisive factor.

As at the beginning, Matthew cherished his lessons in the acting class very much, and more than five months of study also made him obviously improve, but because he started too late and his talent was not very good, when the acting class ended, David Astor still thought that his performance was still at the most elementary and superficial level, and among the dozen or so students in the class, it was only an intermediate level.

At the same time, the language classes also ended all the courses.

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

"The lessons are over. ”

Walking out of the language classroom together, Matthew put on his backpack and asked Rachel McAdams, "Do you still want to go back to Canada?"

A few days after he returned to resume classes, Rachel McAdams told him that he was going to wait for the acting class to end, return to Canada first, and then try to work in Hollywood in the future.

"There's little competition in Canada. Rachel McAdams seemed to be determined, "There are more opportunities." ”

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

In the same acting class for half a year, Matthew and Rachel McAdams are also friends, but he is too busy to help at all, so he can only say, "When the right opportunity arises, it is better to come back." ”

It's a hundred times better than staying in Los Angeles and getting nothing and ending up with another Rachel.

As the two walked out of the school gate, Rachel McAdams stopped, looked in the direction of Hollywood Hills, and suddenly said, "I can't bear to be here." ”

She showed her dimples again, "I'll definitely be back." ”

"Wait for you to come back. Matthew smiled and said, "I'll treat you to a big meal." ”

Rachel McAdams withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Matthew, "Okay, it's a deal!"

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

Rachel McAdams then got in her car and left the Los Angeles School of the Performing Arts to return to Canada tonight.

Watching Rachel McAdams' car go away, Matthew felt like he was still one of the lucky ones.

There are so many actors at the bottom of Hollywood, how many of them can go from a beginner to a crew with a total investment of more than $100 million in more than half a year?

Matthew didn't stay long, quickly went back to the apartment, and called Helen Herman first, in recent times, he followed Helen Herman's advice, and called Angelina Jolie's phone number several times, only once was connected, the person who connected was not the previous assistant, and changed to another person, the other party hung up the phone after a few words to him, and then he couldn't get through to that number again.

Helen Herman tried to contact Georgia Kaycandis, the producer of the crew of "The Soul Shifter," and wanted Matthew to attend the red carpet for the premiere of "The Soul Shifter," but Georgia Kaykendis never responded.

The call went to Helen Herman, Matthew listened to the agent and hung up, and Georgia Kaykendis emailed Helen Herman this afternoon, politely declining her request.

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

Matthew didn't have much hope, he just tried his best, he was just a small supporting character with two simple lines, and it was normal for him to be rejected.

Thinking about Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder, the two major actresses, no one wants to see him.

Both Matthew and Helen Herman have cut off the idea of continuing to follow the Angelina Jolie route, especially Matthew, except for the expected Britney MV premiere, all of his energy has been turned to preparing for the role of Ronald Spears.

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

To that end, Matthew made a short-answer plan for himself after a few phone calls with Hawk Breton and Eric Pock.

Exercising in the morning, limited by money and equipment, consists of running and push-ups in a small park, reading books and studying scripts and characters in the afternoon, watching carefully collected videos of the actors in the evening, imitating their performances, and talking on the phone with Britney Spears before bedtime.

For a long time, Matthew didn't even leave Westwood, and he did a lot more to prepare for the role of Ronald Spears than he did before the audition!

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

Although I honestly stay in the West Wood District, there are some things that I can't hide.

In late October, Wilson and Helen Herman called one after another, and the out-of-court settlement negotiations with the company of the "Taboo Tarot" crew made great progress, and the two sides basically reached an agreement that Matthew, the client, needed to attend the last negotiation and sign the settlement form.
