When leaving London, Matthew did not take a flight to Los Angeles, but went to Miami, Florida, and met Britney.

Since Britney's Miami concert is about to be held and the time is very tight, Matthew could only use Britney's lunch break to secretly have an hour of secretly having sex with her, and then had to leave. He originally planned to wait until he saw Britney's concert tomorrow before returning to Los Angeles, but Helen Hermann's urging call came over and asked him to catch him back to Los Angeles to prepare for the premiere of "The Gladiator".

There was no choice but to change the flight ticket. He boarded the flight to Los Angeles that afternoon, and gradually understood why the celebrity couples were always together.

He and Britney have been in a relationship with their boyfriend and girlfriend for half a year, but the number of times they met was only single digits.

"When Britney finished her world tour, my career improved..." Matthew could only think like this, "There may be more time."

He also scratched his head a little. When he met Britney, he heard her talk about work. It is said that the record company is already planning a second album.

Back in Los Angeles and leaving the international airport, Matthew didn't even go back to his home, so he went directly to the Angel Agency, and Helen Herman was still waiting for him.

Entering the small building of the Angel's agency and leaving the luggage at the front desk, Matthew went upstairs and entered Helen Herman's office and asked directly, "What are you calling me back for so urgently?"

He was not polite, and went to the water dispenser to pick up a glass of cold water. Helen Hermann waited for him to take a sip before saying, "The North American premiere of "Gladiator" is still four days away!"

Matthew was not awakened and sat on the chair at his desk, "That's right, there are four days left."

Helen Hermann simply asked, "Are you ready for the premiere?"

"It's ready!" Of course Matthew thought about the premiere red carpet, after all, it was very rare for him. "I haven't worn the new suits much, so I specially found someone from the clothing team in the UK to iron them..."

"Wait!" Helen Hermann raised his hand and interrupted Matthew, "Wouldn't you plan to walk the red carpet in an old outfit?"

Matthew spread his hands, "That's a new outfit."

Helen Hermann looked at him and asked, "Okay, let me ask you, the brand of the clothes? The designer? Which style did you do? There are also matching shoes, bow tie, and shirts. How do you solve it?"

"Uh?" Matthew couldn't answer at all. He had never paid attention to this aspect at all, so he had to tell the truth, "I don't know."

"You are an actor!" Helen Helman emphasized specifically, "Actors with a little reputation. In formal occasions, you must pay attention to your taste and image."

Matthew shrugged, "I don't understand this."

He knew that the stars were star-studded in front of the camera, and it must be the result of careful creation, but he didn't understand the various things.

Helen Hermann responded, "So, I called you back."

"I don't understand this." Matthew already trusts Helen Herman more in business, "I'll listen to you."

He continued, "You won't let me wear those luxury haute couture clothes, are you?"

"No." Helen Hermann shook his head, "With your fame, status and financial ability now, there is no need for that."

Matthew didn't say anything, and he still followed the advice of his agent in this regard.

Helen Hermann said, "A medium-brand clothing is enough. If you customize it, I have contacted a company that provides clothing rental. They will provide full service including shoes. You will try out clothes tomorrow."

As she said that, she pushed two business cards in front of Matthew, gave him the first one, then gently patted the second one, and said, "This is a personal stylist. I have greeted you. Please contact her today and ask her to stym for you on the day of the premiere."

"Okay." Matthew received the two business cards into his wallet and asked the question he was most concerned about, "That... Helen, how do they charge."

Helen Herman knew that Matthew was not very economically prosperous, "You have two thousand dollars ready, it should be enough."

Matthew nodded. Although he didn't say anything, he felt heartbroken. The crew of "Brothers" had paid him a total of $40,000 in salary, deducted Helen Herman's agent's commission of $4,000, and paid two liquidated damages of $20,000, attorney Wilson's attorney fee of $4,000, and the one-year rent for the apartment. The money for ordering gifts for Britney from the air. April is the tax filing season for the United States. Even if the money he made before, he only has more than $3,000.

This time he spent two thousand dollars and felt a feeling of returning to before liberation overnight.

"This money also includes the cost of renting a car." Helen Hermann said, "The crew does not have a car sponsor. In addition to the director, main actors and valuable guests, other people attending the premiere do not provide vehicles and need to bring their own vehicles."

Matthew is very self-aware and he is definitely not on the list of vehicles provided by the crew.

He looked up at Helen Herman and asked tentatively, "I remember you have a Mercedes-Benz."

Helen Hermann didn't even think about it, "I don't work as a driver part-time." She threw a piece of information in front of Matthew, "This is an affordable car rental store, look at the vehicles above."

Matthew took it and looked it up and asked, "What about your suggestions?"

"A flagship Cadillac." Helen Hermann had an idea, "from noon to twelve pm, the rent will not exceed five hundred dollars."

"Okay." Matthew returned the information to Helen Hermann, "You can contact the vehicle for me."

Helen Hermann did not refuse, took the information and nodded.

"By the way, Helen." Thinking of his soon-to-be-shrinking pocket, Matthew asked again, "When will the crew of Brothers pay the remaining $20,000?"

"No money?" Helen Herman asked.

Matthew did not deny it, "Yes. If I hadn't been living and living in the crew for the past few months, I would probably not have been able to pay out two thousand dollars."

He has been filming on the crew these months, and his life expenses are very small. In addition to going out to drink with Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Michael Culliz from time to time, most of the expenses are actually spent on Britney. Basically, every time Britney holds a concert in a new city, he will receive small gifts specially customized by him.

Even so, he tends to become a poor man again.

Matthew did not expect that the cost of a premiere red carpet would be so great. According to normal principles, women's clothing and dressing are generally more expensive than men. Wouldn't it be that an actress's cost to walk the red carpet?

Of course, he also knew that those big stars must be different. There is another thing in the world called sponsors.

"You have finished shooting all Ronald Spears' scenes." Helen Hermann is quite responsible for his work. "I will contact the crew in the afternoon. If everything goes well, I guess you will get the last pay next week."

"It's best that everything goes well!" Matthew stood up, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Helen Herman nodded and reminded him, "Don't forget to contact the clothing rental company and the stylist."

"I can't forget!" Matthew also felt that it was very necessary to have a glamorous appearance if he wanted to become a star. "If there is still something to do, call me on my phone."

After taking the salute from downstairs and leaving the Angel Agency, Matthew called a taxi and returned to Ximu District. On the way back, he remembered financial problems again. When the last $20,000 in salary was received, he could pay off the liquidated damages of the agreement. If Helen Herman could contact a new job and earn a good income, he would have the remaining money to buy a used car.

He doesn't want to go to the bank to get a loan, so he doesn't want a new car, and a used car is enough.

Back at the apartment, Matthew had a good rest for one night. When the work time came the next day, he took the lead in contacting the clothing rental company. He could try out clothes at any time in the past two days. Then he called the stylist. The two parties agreed on a time to make the styling. He had nothing to do for the time being, so he simply went to the clothing rental company.

I tried on several sets of men's formal outfits. Although a dressmaker introduced them next to me, Matthew couldn't see that there were too many differences between these clothes. He felt that the styles were similar. Finally, based on the dressmaker's suggestions and rental prices, he chose a black dress.

After finishing the costumes, he went back to the apartment to retrieve the borrowed videos, went to the Los Angeles Performing Arts School, returned the videos to his former performance teacher David Astor, and borrowed a batch of new ones from him so that he could continue practicing himself.

In the afternoon, Helen Hermann called and said that after communicating with the crew, he would confirm that the last pay would be paid next Monday.

After hearing this news, Matthew had the confidence again and simply went to the second-hand market and first looked at the car. Due to personal factors, RB cars and Korean cars were not considered. Finally, he fell in love with a white second-hand Ford sedan, which was not too expensive, only less than 5,000 US dollars.

He plans to come and pick up the car when the salary is coming next week.

In the following days, Matthew returned to his previously very planned life, exercise, study, imitation, and also tried to add writing to the plan.

After a year of unremitting efforts, his reading level is not very high, but his self-feeling should not be much different from that of ordinary people.

As for writing skills, it’s better not to mention them.

Time flies in Matthew's busyness. At noon on the day of the premiere, the black Cadillac sedan that Helen Hermann contacted appeared downstairs of his apartment on time. Matthew got into the car, first went to the clothing rental company to get clothes and leather shoes, and then arrived at the studio where the stylist was.
