Since the apartment had been unoccupied for too long, Matthew found a good hotel nearby, opened the room early, and sent Britney the detailed address.

Britney Spears was probably really busy, and she didn't come over until half past eight, and before the two could speak, they kissed together, and once the long-lost couple was emotional, it could only evolve into a result in the end.

"Don't move anymore...... Britney said she seemed exhausted, "let me rest for a while." ”

She leaned on Matthew and gasped, "I've been exhausted lately, my daily schedule is full, my agent and record company are always urging behind, and you're not in Los Angeles, I can't find anyone to complain about." ”

Matthew got up and hugged Britney in his arms, "You're a big star now, it's worth it." ”

"Hmm!" Britney nodded, "Originally, my meeting with Christina Aguilera at my concert in Chicago would have a time and venue conflict, but the Economist said that Christina Aguilera's record company was worried about my popularity and took the initiative to back down. ”

Seeing Britney's smug look, Matthew pinched her nose, "So, Boo." You don't have to worry about a little star who is not as good as you, and look farther. ”

Maybe standing in a different position will lead to different ideas, he added, "You should look ahead and surpass those who are in front of you, like Madonna." ”

Britney scratched her face, "It's hard." ”

"This is a long-term goal. Matthew felt that if Britney could focus on her career, there might not be so many messy things, and he couldn't help but lean into her ear and say, "When people have goals, they will have the motivation to struggle." ”

Britney blinked and asked, "Are there any near-term goals?"

Matthew couldn't help but shake his head, in some ways, Britney is really a stupid girl, and it is possible that her talent and energy are all focused on singing, after all, there are few super geniuses in this world who are proficient in everything.

"Absolutely. Matthew said seriously, "The immediate goal is to try to make next year's world tour a success." ”

"It's not hard. Britney seemed confident, "I'm working hard. ”

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "Bubu, once we succeed in this line of work, we will face great temptations, and with the goal of striving for, you will feel that many temptations are not worth mentioning. ”

Britney frowned, "There's a temptation I can't refuse, and I don't want to. ”

"Huh?" Matthew said she wouldn't take drugs, right?

According to Michael Fassbender, among Hollywood stars, the proportion of singers who take drugs is much higher than that of movie stars, and rock stars among singers are the most common.

"You!" Britney said, looking at him stunned, "you're the biggest temptation." ”

Matthew couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and Britney said, "Really, I'm not kidding!"

The phone rang suddenly, and Matthew pulled out Britney's phone from under the pillow, and without looking at the screen, he stuffed it directly into her hand.

Britney turned off the bell and said, "It's my alarm clock." ”

"What's wrong?" Matthew didn't quite understand.

"It's time for me to go. Britney looked reluctant, but struggled to stand up, "Daddy is at home, I can't stay home at night, and I can't go back too late." ”

Matthew didn't want to keep her, and said, "Then I'll send you down." ”

Britney found her clothes on the floor and complained as she wore them, "I don't have any freedom at all, and my dad is very strict with my night time." ”

"It shows that he cares about you. Matthew didn't think much of it either, "I'm worried you're in trouble at night." ”

After getting dressed and leaving the room, Britney was still muttering complaints, and Matthew comforted, "When I earn enough money to buy a house, then we will move in together." ”

"Hmm!" Britney smiled again, "you need to hurry." ”

Britney put on her hat and the two got on the elevator together to the first floor of the hotel, and Britney said, "Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to Seattle to see the venue, and I'm going to Nashville again, and I may not be back before Christmas." ”

Matthew knew that his career was very important at this stage, and gently patted Britney on the back, "It's okay, I'm going back to the UK soon, the crew is about to start filming, and I'll go to see you on my next vacation." ”

"Okay. Britney looked at the time, and had to walk out of the hotel quickly and leave in a car.

Standing at the door of the hotel, watching Britney's car go away, Matthew returned to the hotel and stayed until the morning, before checking out to rush to Burbank and meet Helen Herman at Angel Agency.

"Long time no see, Helen. Matthew sat on the single couch in his office, "You're still so pretty." ”

Helen Herman put down what she was doing, "You're still so good at talking. She looked up at Matthew, "I heard you had a conflict with an assistant producer?"

"It's not a conflict!" said Matthew, who was not surprised that Helen Herman was so well-informed, "it was she who hit me with her car and threatened to run me to death, and I have always remembered your advice and endured it." ”

"Why did she leave the crew?" Helen Herman clearly didn't believe him.

Matthew stretched out his hands helplessly, "She had a problem cheating with someone, can't you blame me?"

Helen Herman tilted her head to look at him, "It really has nothing to do with you?"

"Really!" Matthew looked wronged, "How can I say that you are willing to believe it?

"No need. Helen Herman shook her head first, and then said, "Filming is about to start, be low-key and dedicated in the crew." ”

Matthew swore and said, "I do my best." ”

These are the words he meant from the bottom of his heart.

Helen Herman is no longer holding on to this matter, after all, it has passed and there has been no negative impact, according to Eric Pock, the cast may have planned something, but the lead is a British actor and a German actor, and it has nothing to do with Matthew.

"I came to you this time, and there are several things I want to explain to you clearly. She got down to business, "The liquidated damages you entrusted to me, the first $10,000 fee, I have already transferred to that production company through the court; at the end of the year, the fees you have entrusted to Wilson's lawyer need to be settled, and you will go to the finance office to sign later; "Band of Brothers" is about to start filming, the second payment has been received, and I will have people transfer it to your account after deducting the agent's fees." ”

"The second pay?" Matthew's eyes widened, "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." ”

Even though it had to deduct 10 percent of Helen Herman's agent fees and pay a second instalment penalty to the production company, it was also a real relief for him financially.

It's been almost a year since he came here, except for those necessary expenses, when did he spend money without being budget-conscious?

Helen Herman thought of some not-so-good things from Matthew's expression, and said, "I'll give you a suggestion, after this play, no one can say when the next role with a good salary will be received, and you'd better keep some of the money saved as a reserve fund instead of squandering it directly." ”

"Don't worry!" Matthew is not an old beauty who likes to spend in advance, "I will save most of my money." ”

He still wants to buy a car, but he can't buy a second-hand car, and there is no need to rush now, he will stay on the set in the UK for a long time, and he will basically not need a car.

Helen Herman's eyes fell on the laptop again, "Remind you, 'The Soul Shifter' has been released." ”

"It's already been released?" Matthew, who has been in the UK and hasn't paid attention to the news about it, "I'm going to check it out." ”

Anyway, there is the first role he played above.

"Screened in a small area. Helen Herman looked it up in her notebook, "There are only three theaters in Los Angeles. She said the addresses of the three theaters in turn, "This film has a good reputation, if you want to go to see it, it's best to buy tickets a little in advance." ”

"Thank you. Matthew stood up, "I'll leave first if it's okay." ”

Helen Herman didn't raise her head either, "Goodbye." ”

Matthew waved at her, walked out of the office, went to the finance room, signed the papers, left the angel agency, and found the one in Burbank of the three theaters that Helen Herman had mentioned, ready to see his first movie, "The Soul Shifter."

Coming to that art theater, Matthew bought tickets for the next show, sat in the hall and waited for a while, and then walked into the screening room, as Helen Herman said, the good reputation of this film has brought a very high attendance rate to a small range of screenings, he came early, and the screening room has nearly half of the audience.

Some of them still have media tags around their necks, and they are obviously reporters or commentators.

Sitting in his seat, waiting for the movie to start showing, Matthew couldn't help but laugh when he recalled the filming of "Soul Shifter", he was like a stunned young man, broke into the circle, and was extremely lucky to meet Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder, two big stars.

It's a pity that neither of them wants to see him again.

The movie soon began to be screened, Matthew looked at the film more from the performance level, Winona Ryder played very well, and it looked more impactful on the screen than the live performance, but perhaps because of the character setting, Angelina Jolie almost stole all the limelight as soon as she appeared.

It is no exaggeration to say that the supporting actress stole the show.

But that's not the focus of Matthew's attention, and as the film runs, it gradually approaches the shot where he appears.
