"What?" Helen Hermann couldn't help but be surprised, "When did this happen?"
Matthew shrugged, "Just this morning, I just confirmed the relationship before meeting you."
Helen Hermann did not speak immediately, but thought for a while before saying, "You reveal the news to Ilena Poyar, I..."
"No," Matthew interrupted her, "Britney is my girlfriend now, and we got this role, I think it's OK."
Helen Herman was stunned for a moment. Matthew knew how to stop. She had known this for a long time. She thought for a while and said, "Okay. In this way, we can avoid conflicts with Britney's agency and record company."
She warned again, "You can't hide it for too long."
Matthew shrugged, "Let it go."
The two left Warner Studios. Matthew took SHren Herman's car. Before he could get to the Angels agency, he received a call from Britney. Matthew briefly said it and told her that she had signed a contract with the crew.
The two of them said a few more words. Matthew heard the voices of others from Britney, and seemed to have something to do, so he hung up the phone.
Helen Hermann seemed to have not asked about Matthew and Britney for the time being, but instead said another thing, "It's more than a month before the crew pays you the first reward. Don't go to work part-time again and carefully complete the performance class and language class courses. I remember the course is almost over?"
"Well, it's over in mid-October." Matthew had already thought about it, "I'll go back to Los Angeles' Performing Arts School to resume classes tomorrow."
"If you don't have enough money..."
Helen Hermann's attitude towards him seems to be different when he gets the role of Ronald Spears. "You can temporarily borrow a part from the company's account, and when your first $20,000 in salary is received, I will let the finance department deduct this part."
Matthew didn't have much money left. He was originally more savings and his basic living expenses were not high, which was enough to support his trip to the UK next month. However, with Britney, his girlfriend, the expenses would inevitably increase significantly, and the money would definitely not be enough.
"Okay." He was not polite, "Lend me three thousand dollars first."
Although Helen Hermann did not say it clearly, Matthew could detect that the agent's attitude towards him was changing. Before he got the role of Ronald Spears, Helen Hermann would never let the company lend him money.
Can this role really bring a turn for his acting career?
The car parked in the parking space in front of the Angels Agency's door, SHren Hermann did not get out of the car immediately, and said, "Also, this is just the beginning, don't relax your demands on yourself! The efforts you make for this role will continue."
Matthew untied his seat belt, "I know."
This little supporting role is still far from his goal of becoming a Hollywood star.
Get off the car and follow Helen Herman to the Angel Brokerage Company. Matthew went to the finance department to go through the loan procedures for 3,000 US dollars, and finally became a debtor.
In the following time, Matthew started a very regular lifestyle again. He got up every morning to exercise, went to the Los Angeles Performing Arts School to take performance classes in the morning, took time to read newspapers at noon, and took language classes in the afternoon. After the language class, he returned to the apartment to read books and watch videos to imitate the former Oscar actors...
He lived a very fulfilling life every day, which was also due to Britney being not an ordinary person.
Although the two had just established a relationship, and generally speaking, it was the time to have a passionate relationship, after the audition, Matthew only saw Britney, but when Britney left Los Angeles, he saw that they had not spoken for more than five minutes in the VIP lounge at the airport.
Britney is still in the promotional period for her first album. She will have to go to the public announcements all over the United States and prepare for next year's world tour, with very little free time.
This is also impossible. A popular singer is far more busy than a movie star.
In Helen Hermann's words, the time and itinerary of a popular singer can be summarized in several locations, recording studios, planes, hotels and performance scenes.
As for the time left for yourself, it is pitifully small.
Apart from Helen Herman, the agent who must be informed, Matthew did not reveal anything about him and Britney to anyone, but he did not deliberately cover it up and let it go.
Britney's promotional itinerary was beyond imagination, and she could only take fifteen minutes to talk to Matthew on the phone every day. Fortunately, the MV she recorded was about to be released, and the record company also invited Matthew to attend the MV's launch ceremony in New York, and the two of them would be able to meet.
This time, the audition experience for the role of Ronald Spears, especially the long and arduous preparation period, made Matthew more calm and understood one thing: off-site factors have an impact on the audition, but audition performance is also key.
For example, people at the level of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg are difficult to impress ordinary people and things. They have been famous for a long time and have a high status. They cherish their feathers and good reputations more than ordinary people. If there is no special person or thing, the performance in the audition room is the decisive factor.
Just like at the beginning, Matthew cherished his courses in the performance class very much. His study over five months also made him significantly improve. However, because he started too late and his talent was not very outstanding, when the performance class was finished, David Astor still believed that his performance was still at the most basic level, and among the dozen students in the class, it was only at a moderate level.
At the same time, the language class also ended all courses.
In any case, this six-month course benefited Matthew a lot.
“The course is over.”
Let’s walk out of the language class 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 came back to take classes again, Rachel McAdams told him that he would go back to Canada to develop first and then plot against Hollywood in the future.
"The competition in Canada is small." Rachel McAdams seemed to have made up his mind, "there are more opportunities."
She laughed two dimples, not without envy, "If I could get the roles of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg as you do, I would continue to develop in Hollywood."
After half a year of class in the same performance class, Matthew and Rachel McAdams were friends, but he couldn't take care of himself and couldn't help at all. He could only say, "It's better to come back when there is a suitable opportunity."
This is a hundred times better than being able to achieve nothing in Los Angeles and ending up becoming another Rachel.
The two walked out of the school gate, Rachel McAdams stopped, looked at the direction of Hollywood Hills, and suddenly said, "I really can't bear to leave this place."
She showed her dimples again, "I will definitely come back."
"Waiting for you to come back," Matthew said with a smile, "I'll treat you to a big meal."
Rachel McAdams withdrew his gaze and turned to Matthew, "Okay, one word is certain!"
Matthew stretched out a hand, Rachel McAdams took a photo on it, and the two confirmed the agreement.
Then, Rachel McAdams drove into the car, left the Los Angeles Performing Arts School, and prepared to return to Canada tonight.
Watching Rachel McAdams' car go away, Matthew feels he is still a lucky person.
There are so many actors at the bottom of Hollywood, how many more important actors can be used to take more than half a year to form a crew of a newcomer with a total investment of more than $100 million?
Matthew didn't stay much, so he quickly returned to the apartment and called Helen Herman first. Recently, he has dialed Angelina Jolie's phone number several times according to Helen Herman's advice, but only once he was connected. The person who connected was not the previous assistant. He changed to another person. After a few words to him, the other party hung up the phone, and then he could no longer get through the number.
Helen Herman tried to contact Georgia Kekendes, the producer of the Soul-Escaped Girl crew, and wanted Matthew to attend the premiere of "Soul-Escaped Girl", but Georgia Kekendes never responded.
The phone call reached Helen Herman. Matthew hung up after hearing the agent's words. Georgia Kekendis sent an email to Helen Herman this afternoon, declining her request.
In other words, the premiere of "The Soul-Evering Girl" has nothing to do with Matthew.
Matthew didn't have much hope at first, just tried his best. He was just a small supporting role with two simple lines, and it was normal for him to be rejected.
I want to see Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder, two actresses, but no one wants to see him.
Both Matthew and Helen Hermann had cut off the idea of continuing to follow the Angelina Jolie route, especially Matthew, except for the expected starting ceremony of Britney's MV, all his energy was shifting to preparing for the role of Ronald Spears.
There are so many roles in this drama, and if you want to leave an impression on the media and the audience, you must have excellent performance.
To this end, Matthew made a short answer plan for himself after several phone calls with Hawke Breton and Eric Pock.
Exercise every morning, limited by funds and equipment, and exercise mainly involves running and push-ups in a small park; the afternoon is time to read and study scripts and characters; watch carefully collected videos of actors in the evening to imitate their performances; talk to Britney on the phone before going to bed.
For a long time, Matthew never even left Westwood. His preparations for the role of Ronald Spears were only much more than before the audition!
Matthew didn't know too much, but believed that opportunities were reserved for those who were fully prepared.
Although I stayed honestly in Ximu District, there were some things that I couldn’t escape.
Chapter completed!
