Back in Los Angeles, Helen Hermann immediately contacted Matthew for audition for the crew of "Fast and Furious". News soon came. Due to the conflict with the shooting schedule of "Return of the Mummy", the original supporting role was not suitable for Matthew. There were two choices in front of him. One was to completely give up "Fast and Furious", and the other was to temporarily change the audition role and choose a supporting role with fewer roles.

Matthew specifically asked Helen Herman, who was not very difficult to operate, and "Fast and Furious" will be filmed in July. A small supporting role who recruited actors appeared in the early shooting and would not have conflicts with "The Return of the Mummy".

There are no relevant restrictions in his contract with the actors of "The Return of the Mummy", so taking on this small role is not a problem at all.

And there are not a few scenes in this small character in total.

Based on the principle of practicing more, learning more and making more money, Matthew decided to continue to participate in the audition of "Fast and Furious", but the original supporting role was replaced by this small role.

If possible, Matthew wanted to get a main role. After all, he knew that this series might become popular, but the chance was basically zero. When Helen Herman provided information, the crew had already identified two leading actors, and now they also knew the names of the two leading actors - Paul Walker and Vin Diesel.

This also reminded him of some things. The former was the actor who died young, and the latter was the bald boss of the racing family.

After all, he has watched the last few movies of "Fast and Furious". Although he is not very impressed, he still remembers some of them.

Two days later, Matthew went to Universal Studios where the crew of "Fast and Furious" was auditioned. Among the candidates for this young actor, his qualifications were quite outstanding, coupled with his strong physical fitness and excellent audition performance, as well as the proper operation of Helen Hermann behind the scenes, and successfully passed the audition and won the role.

The character's pay is only 6,000 US dollars, the only benefit is that it is paid in two installments. Matthew signed the actor contract to pay 3,000 US dollars, and then received another 3,000 US dollars in the role shooting.

This is also the reason why Matthew doesn't want to give up auditioning for "Fast and Furious". He doesn't have much money anymore. The reward for "The Return of the Mummy" is as high as $100,000, but the first transaction will not be issued until the crew is joined. The subsequent two transactions will have to wait until the filming is completed and all post-production is completed.

Six thousand dollars is enough to support Matthew until the filming of "The Return of the Mummy" starts, and there is no need to borrow money from the Angel Brokerage Company.

Many of the concepts in his bones cannot be twisted for a while, such as debt consumption.

If it wasn't for the last time that he had to spend money on a date with Britney, he wouldn't have borrowed the three thousand dollars from the Angels Agency.

Through the audition of the "Fast and Furious" crew, it is good news anyway. Matthew also got another good news. Britney's global tour came to an end at the end of June, and she will return to Los Angeles to attend the MTV Music Awards next month.

Although Britney must have been very busy during the period before the MTV Music Awards, the two of them finally stayed in the same city for a long time.

Before the MTV Music Awards ceremony was held, Matthew had no job to do for the moment. The role of the character in "Fast and Furious" had to go to the crew to participate in several training sessions in July, and then join the team to start shooting. At most, the filming will not be completed in more than a week.

Before this, Matthew's time was free.

Freedom of time does not mean going to rest. He asked Helen Herman to help find a fitness club in Westwood District. There was a very good fitness coach in the club. According to Helen Herman, Hugh Jackman was training with the fitness coach before filming "X-Men".

Both the fitness club and the fitness coach are quite professional, and it is natural to hire them. Matthew sadly discovered that his first reward on the crew of "Fast and Furious" was just enough to apply for a fitness card and pay for the coach.

Originally, Matthew wanted to continue exercising by running, but after consulting several professionals, especially a stylist with a good relationship with Helen Hermann, he learned that if you want muscles with better lines, professional fitness exercises are simply irreplaceable for running.

He exercises for the role of Scorpion King. There is also a director in the crew who has a deep prejudice against him. Matthew doesn't want to relax his requirements. In Helen Herman's words, in Hollywood, actors can be big names, but they must be dedicated!

But the money was a bit painful, but fortunately, I could pay in installments. Matthew was not too worried, and he didn't have to worry about Britney returning to Los Angeles, even if he didn't have the money to go out to open a room.

If it really doesn't work, you can still take out a loan. There is a contract for "The Mummy Returns" that has a loan of tens of thousands of dollars. But Matthew won't do this unless he has to.

After applying for a fitness card and paying the first fee for the fitness coach, Matthew suddenly understood something. His income seemed to have increased, but in fact the expenses were also increasing. It was not about buying a house and a car, but about the expenses of his job...

His daily life can be said to be very frugal and still so tight. If he becomes a little star in the future, his income will continue to increase, but the little star cannot be like he is now, and he must decorate his appearance.

Thinking of this, Matthew scratched his head. It seemed that his profession was glamorous, and there was another side he didn't understand.

But he was not shaken. Since he chose this path, he would continue unswervingly.

In the following time, in addition to imitating, reading and writing, Matthew also had the routine task of fitness. He had to go to the fitness club five days a week and conducted targeted training based on the plan specially formulated for him by the fitness coach.

Every night, Matthew is the time to practice writing. One of the ways to practice is to update the online blog.

"I am in a good mood recently. I have won two roles through auditions and will be a member of "Fast and Furious" and "Mummy crew". I really hope these two movies will be released soon. "Brothers" filmed last year has not started playing yet. It is said that the post-production editing will begin soon. When will it be played on HBO? Looking forward to it..."

Unfortunately, only three people follow his blog so far, and only Ilena Boyal left a message.

After posting a blog post, Matthew took out a USB drive from the fitness coach. There were several photos taken by the fitness club specifically for him. He clicked on the new business that was opened for the blog and uploaded the photos to the blog.

Several of them are photos of Matthew fighting with a fitness coach while practicing boxing in full arm.

Boxing is part of Matthew's daily training. According to the fitness coach, this is a very effective way to reduce fat. The boxing training programs he has formulated include movement training, coordination training, special physical training, hand-target sandbag training, and actual conditional training, which can effectively improve physical fitness and coordination ability.

Moreover, boxing training is mixed with ordinary fitness training, so people don’t feel that the fitness process is so boring.

To be honest, Matthew is still very interested in fighting events such as boxing. The previous Matthew was the first to be involved in the streets and fought many wild fights, and he is also an experienced person.

Boxing training is actually customized for him by the fitness coach. From the very beginning, the fitness coach knew that Matthew was preparing to participate in the shooting of an action movie, rather than simply practicing muscles to improve coordination skills. It also allows Matthew to deal with the action scenes in the shooting more calmly.

When the training was in late June, Matthew asked the fitness coach to add actual conditions once a week for practical combat, that is, the chance of getting injured was very small due to the battle with full protective gear.

In the first battle, he had almost no power to fight back in front of a professional coach...

However, this did not discourage Matthew's enthusiasm. In his opinion, he may be able to shoot some action-type videos in the future. It is still beneficial to understand a fighting technique.
Chapter completed!
