Out of David Astor's office, Matthew pulled out his cell phone and dialed Helen Herman's number, which was quickly picked up.

"Is there something wrong?"

Hearing Helen Herman's question, Matthew said as he walked, "I just consulted with the teacher in the acting class, and I came up with an idea, do you think it works?"

He had never experienced the fierce situation of dozens of actors competing for a role before, and he lacked relevant experience.

Helen Herman's slightly curious voice came from the earpiece, "Say it. ”

Matthew found a quiet place inside the school and said, "Since Ronald Spears is a typical predator, can we hire an active or retired officer to train me in military affairs for a period of time?" ”

There was silence in the receiver, save for the sound of Helen Herman's breathing.

"That's what I thought. Matthew never considered himself an acting genius, "It's only about a month before the next audition at most, and in such a short period of time, I can't make a big improvement in my acting skills." ”

"Hmm. Helen Herman spoke up, "If you give you another two months, there won't be any significant improvement." ”

Matthew didn't refute and continued, "I'm looking for a professional officer on active duty or a retired military officer to train me in a targeted manner, especially walking, standing, and posture that can be easily observed in auditions.

Although he has less qualifications, according to the general situation, the chances of getting the role are not very high, but the least hope must also do his best.

Seizing opportunities does not depend on utopian dreams, but on concrete actions and efforts.

There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and Helen Herman seemed to be thinking about it, and after a while, she said, "It's also a solution, and it has a certain feasibility." ”

"Helen. Matthew switched to the phone, "Do you know a professional in this area?"

"Wait for my news. Helen Herman was quick to say, "I'm going to get someone to get in touch with you." ”

After the two finished speaking, Matthew was just about to hang up the phone, and Helen Herman suddenly reminded, "Let me tell you, this may require a lot of expenses." ”

Matthew frowned and said, "I still have some money in my hand, it should be enough." ”

Hanging up the phone, he suddenly regretted it, why did he change his mobile phone, the mobile phone with sound leakage can also be used......

Went out for lunch, Matthew returned to school to continue the afternoon language class, he hadn't seen Rachel McAdams for a few days, he specifically called and asked, and the other party got the role of a passerby A and went to the valley area north to film.

Today, the teacher of the language class was changed to an Englishman, and the content taught was English pronunciation, which is the legendary London accent.

After this period of understanding, Matthew learned that it is very popular to be able to speak an authentic British accent in Hollywood, especially in some special films, which are highly praised by film critics, and many outstanding American actors can freely switch between their original accents and British accents.

Several teachers in the language class have said that many Hollywood films deliberately find actors who can speak fluently British accent to act, such as costume or fantasy films, such actors are clustered, and film critics will even think that this kind of theme will feel very unreliable with an American accent, and there are many British actors with British backgrounds or film and television works adapted from famous books.

It doesn't matter if it's a modern theme, there are actors of this type in many films, and it doesn't matter if the British accent is obvious, they will directly say that the character is British.

Some British and American actors have very deep line skills, and they are willing to work hard, and their accents can be switched freely, not only between English and American, but also with accents that imitate African flavor and European flavor.

If you want to achieve this state, you also need a lot of practice for a long time, accent correction and line skills can not be confused, in the words of the language teacher, good line skills do not mean that you can speak, but that you can say: you can take people's hearts between talking, laughing, and sorry, click on this kind of actor's movie, just listen, do nothing, it is very beautiful.

Just like his acting skills are free, Matthew knows that he is also very far away from this realm.

However, after this period of study and practice, the indistinct Texas accent left by the original Matthew was almost inaudible.

Of course, there is such a magical existence as dubbing in this world, but in Hollywood live-action movies, actors will not easily accept it unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Once you are dubbed, you can't be called a good performance, and you can't even be considered a qualified actor. ”

This is one of the unwritten rules in the Hollywood film and television industry, and even people like Matthew have heard of it.

The negative example of this is still circulating in the circle, the Hollywood movie "My Fair Lady" adapted from the Broadway musical, invited Audrey Hepburn to star, although Audrey Hepburn's acting skills are very familiar, but its vocal range does not match the singing requirements of the film's songs. In desperation, the crew decided to hire a professional singer to dub Audrey Hepburn's singing passages in the later stage.

As a result, Audrey Hepburn could only hate the Oscars of that year.

It is precisely because the Hollywood film and television industry is ashamed of being dubbed that accent tutors and language correction classes have survived in Hollywood, and they have a complete teaching system to correct the defects of actors' pronunciation and avoid the embarrassment of "being dubbed".

Maybe it was dubbed back then, but now, accent problems can even kick an actor out of the game.

For the dream of stardom, in order to make a lot of money, for the original dream, Matthew worked these courses without doubt.

The two-hour lesson was over quickly, Matthew was unhurriedly packing his things, and the people in the classroom were gradually leaving, and soon there were only two or three left, and just as he was about to leave with his backpack, his cell phone rang.

"Finding the right person so quickly?"

Matthew thought it was Helen Herman, and when he took out his phone, it was Britney Spears' number.

After the MV crew disbanded, although the two did not see each other again, they have kept in touch, and by his inference, Britney Spears seems to really regard him as a good friend.

"Hi, Boob. Matthew answered the phone, put on his backpack and said as he walked, "Why did you call all of a sudden?"

The two have talked on the phone a few times in the past, all after Britney is busy in the evening, after all, she is a big star, and she is still in the promotion period of the first album "First Confession of Love", and the work is quite heavy.

"Originally, there was a show on the radio that I wanted to participate in. Britney sounded puffy, "There was some accident, I and the agency canceled it temporarily, and it will be fine." ”

Matthew asked with concern, "What's wrong? What's going on?"

"It's okay, let's meet and talk. Britney seemed anxious to find someone to talk to, "Where are you? ”

"I'm not in Westwood. Matthew stepped out of the classroom and walked towards the school gate, "I'm at the Los Angeles School of the Performing Arts in North Hollywood, on Laurier Valley Boulevard. ”

Britney seemed to be talking to someone, and after a while, she said, "Can you wait for me at the door for a while?" ”

"Good. Matthew adjusted his backpack, "I'll be waiting for you at the school gate." ”

He came to the outside of the school gate, specially found a conspicuous place on the side of the road, and waited patiently.

After only ten minutes of waiting, an ordinary-looking car approached from a distance, slowing down as it approached the school gate, and Matthew turned his head to look over and saw the rear window glass lowered, revealing Britney Spears' slightly green face.

He hurriedly waved his hand over there, and the car immediately came to a stop, and the rear door was opened from the inside, and Britney waved to this side, "Get in the car, Matthew." ”

"It's coming. Matthew unpacked his backpack, got into Britney's car, and closed the door.

Britney took Matthew's backpack, tucked it behind the saddle, and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Do you have anything to do with the night?" asked Matthew.

Britney shook her head, "No. She then puffed up, "The scheduled radio event has been cancelled. ”

Matthew didn't rush to ask why, but said, "It's been a long time, why don't I treat you to dinner?"

"Okay!" Britney replied without thinking, as if she had something to say to Matthew, "just find a quiet place to talk." ”

There was a driver in the car, and it was too inconvenient to talk.

Matthew thought of the restaurant he had been to last time and asked, "Shall we go for Chinese food?"

He remembered that in addition to the Eight Immortals Table and Taishi Chairs, the restaurant also had a separate private room like a traditional Chinese restaurant.

Britney nodded directly, "Okay." ”

Matthew politely said to the driver, "Go to Westwoods, Rochester Avenue." ”

North Hollywood is not very far from the Westwood District, and the traffic is also very convenient, and according to Matthew's directions, the driver found the Chinese restaurant in a short time.

As soon as the car stopped, Britney wanted to get out of the car, Matthew pointed to her face, "Boo, do you want to be watched?"

"Ah, I forgot. ”

Britney smiled sheepishly and put on a pair of wide sunglasses, and Matthew saw a Dodgers baseball cap on the saddle and took it and buckled it on her head.

"Are you alright?" asked Britney.

Matthew tilted his head to look at her and said, "Alright, let's get out of the car." ”

He was the first to get out of the car and walked towards the restaurant, Britney followed, after entering the restaurant, Matthew asked the waiter a few words, it was probably early, there were not many guests, and the waiter led him and Britney into a private room with Chinese decoration.

Matthew ordered a few random dishes, and Britney had been curiously looking at the furniture in the private room.

"Sit, Bubu. Matthew greeted.

Britney sat on the Grand Master's chair and patted the hardwood armrest, "This chair is so weird. ”

Matthew didn't explain, but asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Not yet...... "Britney burst into a foul language that began with F, "And that bitch Christina Aguilera!"
