As it got late, Matthew and Britney left the room and went to the restaurant last time for dinner, but this time, they were lucky and did not meet anyone who was disrupting the situation like Christina Aguilera.

"You don't know, Matthew." Britney looked excited. "I met Christina Aguilera some time ago, and she wanted to come and provoke her. I told her that my bodyguard was outside, and Christina Aguilera immediately left in shame."

Matthew encouraged, "Dear, you did a great job! Don't pay attention to Christina Aguilera's provocation, there's always a way to fight back, isn't it?"

Britney smiled happily, "Yes, you're right." She scratched her fair face and asked Matthew, "Do I sometimes have to think about doing things?"

Matthew thought about it and decided to tell the truth, "Sometimes it does have a bit of it."

"Then when I'm like this again." Britney was a little embarrassed, "Matthew, you have to remind me in time."

"Don't worry." Matthew patted Britney's hand on the table, "I will."

The dishes were delivered one after another, and the two of them were having a chat.

Britney seemed a little worried, "You don't have to go to other places to shoot recently, right?"

Matthew swallowed the food in his mouth, "I have no job yet, I will stay in Los Angeles for a while, and I have some things to deal with."

"I'm leaving again..." Britney's fork made the porcelain plate sound, "I'm going to Nashville."

Just now in the suite, Matthew heard her mention it once and couldn't help but comfort him, "Will you come back after you finish recording the song?"

That being said, he didn't know if he would go to another place to shoot when Britney returned to Los Angeles from Nashville.

Speaking of these things, both of them were feeling a little depressed. After dinner, Britney quickly returned home as usual. Matthew returned to the apartment and continued to pack up his things. After living in this apartment for two years, he also accumulated a lot of possessions, especially books and videotapes, which had already packed three large boxes.

After attending two events held by HBO for Brothers in Los Angeles, he was preparing to find a new house.

According to Matthew's idea, living here temporarily is the only one who lives here, but Helen Hermann objected that the old apartment could no longer match his income and actor level.

In Helen Hermann's words, star creation is a systematic project, and face-saving project is very important. No matter what the inside is, an actor who is determined to be a star must first be glamorous on the outside.

Of course, Helen Hermann would not let him do things beyond his ability, and Matthew would not agree.

Helen Hermann's idea is that Matthew would be better off renting a small house outside Beverly Hills, Santa Monica or Burbank. If you really can't find a suitable price, you can rent an exquisite apartment in the Westwood or North Hollywood community.

In this regard, Matthew left her to find out. Helen Hermann is an authentic Los Angeles native, so he naturally has an advantage.

Although there is no specific news on Helen Herman, Matthew is already preparing for the move.

At first, Matthew also considered buying a house by himself instead of continuing to be a tenant. It was difficult for people here to understand the mentality of the small people on the other side of the Pacific that the lower-level figures longed for a house but couldn't find one. However, he finally endured it and accumulated the pay for two films, "Return of the Mummy" and "Down Black Hawk", including Helen Herman's commission. April is the tax season, and with Britney's expenses are quite expensive, it's better to save the money.

He spent two days cleaning up his accumulated wealth intermittently, and then there was news from Helen Herman, who began to see houses everywhere under the leadership of a real estate agent, including Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, North Hollywood and even Burbank.

At the beginning, Matthew fell in love with an apartment in North Hollywood. The apartment was large in size and luxurious in decoration, but the rent was not cheap, and it cost $2,500 a month. This price made him retreat.

After looking at the house for five days, I finally met a brick and stone house that suits him in the suburb north of Burbank, bordering the San Fernando Valley to the north and Hollywood to the west. Although the house only has one floor, it is designed with an attic, which can effectively isolate the blazing sunshine of Southern California at noon. The indoor area is about one hundred square meters and has exquisite and elegant European decoration.

There is also a courtyard of more than 60 square meters in front of the house. There are walls built around the courtyard, and there are evergreen ivy on it all year round, which looks very pleasing to the eye.

What is most in line with Matthew's wish is that the surroundings of this house are very quiet. To be precise, the location is slightly remote. The nearest neighbor is also more than 30 meters away, which can maintain a certain degree of privacy, which is very suitable for Britney to come over secretly.

In addition, the transportation is also very convenient. You can drive east along the community road for two or three minutes and you can see the California section of Highway 5. It takes only ten minutes north to reach the San Fernando Valley area. It has various large shopping areas and can buy almost all daily necessities.

The road to the south can reach Burbank in at most ten minutes. Burbank is only twenty kilometers away from downtown Los Angeles. Even if he wants to go back to Los Angeles to do something, it is very convenient.

It’s even tighter to go to North Hollywood, and a ten-minute drive is enough.

And the rent is not expensive, only $1,200.

Although this era is quite a lot of $1,200, Matthew was not the rookie when he first came here. He had a certain understanding of Los Angeles. Houses like this are really too cheap.

There must be a reason for the abnormal price.

Matthew came out of the house, stood on the lawn of the yard, and asked the room agent directly, "Is there something wrong with this house? The price is so much lower than the market price."

This is the real estate agent introduced by Helen Hermann. It is relatively reliable, so he did not hide it from Matthew. He pointed to the corner on the right side of the yard, where there was obviously a piece of turf missing.

"There was a murder here a few months ago." The real estate agent said bluntly, "The mistress of the house clashed with her boyfriend and was killed in that corner."

Matthew looked over there and couldn't help but frown.

The real estate agent continued, "The hostess' mother is European. After coming here to deal with it simply, she handed over the house to the company. The murder case was published in newspapers and TV stations. The house was not easy to rent out, so she could only deal with it with the price."

Matthew nodded and walked to that place and took a look. There was nothing special. Maybe someone else would turn around and leave, but he didn't care about this.

When I was on the other side, I had to pass by a grave from junior high school to and from school, especially when I started to study at night in the second year of junior high school. There was no sun at both ends in winter, and I passed by there alone in the morning and evening, and I didn’t feel anything at all.

As a person who grew up under atheistic education, even if he came here for no reason, he still did not believe in ghosts and gods.

Matthew was very optimistic about the house, but he didn't care whether there had been a murder. He stood there and thought for a while and said to the real estate agent, "One thousand dollars! I'll rent it for one thousand dollars."

The house was in his hands for a while. The real estate agent thought about it for half a minute, called again, and finally said to Matthew, "Yes! But the rent will be paid at least one year at a time."

Matthew agreed happily, "Okay. Let's go through the procedures as soon as possible."

In the afternoon of the same day, the real estate agency signed a formal rental agreement with Matthew. Matthew paid the deposit and one year's rent, got the key, and could move there at any time.

However, before moving, Matthew spent money to ask a special housekeeping company to clean up and sort it out, and replant the areas where the lawn was missing. He said hello to Helen Hermann and moved it with him.

In this way, it was much more convenient for him to go to the Angel Brokerage Company.

Nowadays, studios of major companies are also in Burbank or nearby areas. If you work in Los Angeles for future filming, it will be very convenient.

Originally, Matthew was thinking about whether to invite a few friends to have a meal after moving. He called, including Britney, and currently there was no friend in Los Angeles.

Helen Hermann is there, but unfortunately she and Matthew don’t have much contact except for work.

As time approaches May, Matthew has no job yet, and Helen Hermann has not found a role or program that suits him recently. However, Matthew is not idle either. He has never stopped reading and writing practice, imitation performance and fitness training, especially fitness training, which has been maintained at the right intensity.

Through the movies and roles he has taken on recently, he can also see his biggest advantages. After the experience of shooting several films, these advantages are gradually transforming into qualifications.

For unfamiliar actors, qualifications are important.

Of course, if there is a very rich and willing father who is willing to spend money, or a more powerful performing family in the circle, it is a different matter.

Just in late April, Helen Hermann made a special trip to call Matthew to Angel Agency to instruct the premiere of "The Return of the Mummy" and some precautions for the subsequent promotional notice.

"Clothes, leather shoes, watches..." Helen Hermann said to Matthew seriously, "It must be all brand new! You are an important supporting role in the film, and the brand specifications of the clothes should be appropriately improved!"

Matthew was basically listening, and he knew that he lacked experience in this area.

Helen Herman simply said, "Hold a stylist to let her tailor it for you."

"Okay! Yes..."

This is not the time to be frugal, Matthew responded happily, "You can contact me."

"There's another point, you'd better know in advance." Helen Hermann glanced at Matthew. "Universal Pictures invited the crew of "Fast and Furious" to participate in the premiere, using the attention of the mummy to promote the subsequent release of the film."

Matthew immediately captured the point of this statement, "Vin Diesel also participated?"
