Best Movie Star

Chapter 46: unemployment

(The new week has begun, and we will continue to rush to the new book list. I urge everyone who has recommended votes to vote for a few more!)

As usual, Matthew and Rachel McAdams have language classes in the afternoon, and they will stay here for lunch. The two of them don't have much money, so they randomly choose an Italian-style restaurant near the performing arts school. The performance class starts like this. After a long time, the two were very familiar, and Rachel McAdams was not polite to Matthew.

"A pasta." She only ordered one.

Matthew is not the first time to eat with Rachel McAdams, knowing that the actress eats very little in order to keep in shape, and there is no politeness.

"A Florentine deboned steak." He is tall and strong, and he exercises a lot every day. He is a typical carnivore. "A seafood noodle."

The waiter left, Rachel McAdams put her hands on the table and asked with concern, "Did you pass the audition?"

Matthew picked up the water glass and said, "Passed."

"Really?" Rachel McAdams was a little surprised, "You're going to be the male lead in the Britney Spears MV?"

"The contract signed yesterday." Matthew didn't want to talk about this, so as not to be suspected of showing off, and instead asked, "How is your job? Resigned from McDonald's?"

Rachel McAdams nodded, "I resigned, I haven't found a suitable part-time job yet."

Matthew asked curiously, "Didn't your agent introduce you?"

Many agents have extensive connections in this area, such as Helen Herman. Among the young actors who signed long-term contracts with Angel's agents, he helped find many part-time jobs for them.

Rachel McAdams sighed, "My agent has a lot of actors, and I'm just a very inconspicuous one."

"Is there anything I can help?" Matthew asked.

Rachel McAdams smiled and shook her head. In fact, she knew very well that Matthew's situation was not very good.

She changed the subject, "Your accent is quick to correct."

"Really?" Matthew pinched his chin, "Probably my talent is better than acting."

Rachel McAdams smiled with a pair of beautiful dimples, "You're not bad at acting."

Matthew shook his head, "You're the first to say that."

At this time, the waiter brought the dishes ordered by the two of them one after another. Although the restaurant was not high-grade, the taste was not bad.

"Didn't your agent ask you to audition recently?" Matthew asked after taking a sip of water.

"No, I haven't auditioned for a long time." Rachel McAdams swallowed the spaghetti and said, "I wonder if he forgot about me as a client."

She suddenly put down her fork and said, "By the way, when the class just started today, the school informed me that I will go to a production crew for an internship next week."

Matthew thought for a while, "I may not be able to go, the MV here will start shooting at any time."

"It's a pity." Rachel McAdams seemed a little disappointed, "I was still thinking of playing opposite you."

"You really enjoy the feeling of completely suppressing me when you perform together?" Matthew revealed directly, "Every time you steal the show."

Rachel McAdams showed a sweet smile again, "Actually, I'm also very distressed. I always feel that I'm pushing too hard."

"It's better than me, a guy who can only play handsome and cool." Matthew was talking about David Astor's comment to him.

"It's your natural condition." Rachel McAdams deliberately looked up and down Matthew, "Although not as handsome as Leonardo DiCaprio, he is more like a man."

Matthew deliberately made a curved arm to show his muscles, "Do you like my type?"

"Like your type?" Rachel McAdams dragged her chin with one hand and tilted her head to look at Matthew, "Do you want to pursue me?"

"Uh..." Matthew was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer.

This western woman is too straightforward and doesn't play cards according to the routine.

He is still a typical Eastern way of thinking, and he shook his head quickly, "I don't know what to do tomorrow after today. It's better not to implicate others."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Now they all have to fight for the most basic survival, and they don't have the heart to think about other things for the time being.

After lunch, Matthew paid the bill and went back to the performing arts school with Rachel McAdams to continue the language class in the afternoon.

As Rachel McAdams said, Matthew's Texan accent has become very light after this period of study and correction, and language classes are not only accent correction, but also professional drama language aspects of practice.

For the next two days, Matthew basically took classes at the Los Angeles Performing Arts School during the day, and continued to work as a driver for the Red Penguin Service Company at night. In his spare time, he spent all his spare time studying the MV scripts and characters he had obtained, and occasionally paid attention to the similar names. Entertaining gossip on U.S. News, the gossip of serious newspapers.

He believes that Jelena Boyar will never miss big news like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.

In the middle, Matthew was very curious for a while. At one point, he wanted to call Yelena Boyar, but he endured it. If it is not necessary, it is better to contact entertainment reporters less.

Rather than wasting time on this, it is better to study the script and characters of the MV more.

Music MVs, especially popular song MVs, are generally not long. The MV that Matthew participated in is planned to be no more than five minutes long, and the content and style of the screen should be consistent with the song style of "Sometimes".

From the moment he got the script, Matthew has spent a lot of time in this area, and he has collected a lot of information. Even if he is a complete layman in pop music, he has figured out the most basic situation of "sometimes".

"Sometimes" is a bubblegum pop-influenced teen pop that depicts a shy girl who doesn't dare to confess to a boy she has a crush on.

The song was rated both positive and negative by music critics, with some critics saying it was better than Britney's last single, "The First Confession of Love", while others felt that the song was unremarkable, just a Boredom shows Britney's innocence.

In the "sometimes" MV, Britney Spears played the role of a shy little girl who did not dare to confess, and he played the boy who was secretly in love with Britney.

In short, whether it's the MV or the song, it's a typical public youth style.

Therefore, the MV and the actors in it are bound to please the youth.

Matthew is very self-aware. He was able to pass the initial test and enter the audition with makeup, which basically had nothing to do with his acting skills. His good appearance should have played a considerable role.

Based on the information collected, it is not difficult for Matthew to come to the conclusion that what he, the male protagonist, needs to do is to be handsome, cool, sunny, and to please Britney's teenage fans.

This does not require him to have much acting skills. As long as he has basic shooting experience, it is enough not to make super-low mistakes such as looking at the camera. Most of the rest are the work of stylists.

Matthew felt that it shouldn't be difficult for him to cope with such a job. After all, he was only nineteen years old, so he didn't need to be young at all.

It was another afternoon when the sun was biased towards the west. Matthew got off the bus, dragged a long shadow, and walked towards the Red Penguin Company, ready to start the night's work.

When he was about to get to the door of the company, the phone rang.

"Hi, Helen." It was the agent who called him, "Is something wrong?"

Helen Herman's voice came from the receiver, "The record company has confirmed the director. Tomorrow all the actors will go to the studio, and the director wants to meet you. The official shooting will start the day after tomorrow, and the crew will be at the set before 8 in the morning."

Just as Matthew was about to say yes, Helen Herman's voice sounded again, "You'd better take all leave these days, don't go to work at night, keep your energy!"

"Okay, no problem!" Matthew raised his head and glanced at the company's door, guessing that Liszt would have another opinion later, "I'm going to ask for leave now."

Helen Herman reminded again, "Also, about Michael Sheehan and Martin Jackson, don't mention it to anyone in the crew."

"I know," Matthew assured. "I'll keep my mouth shut."

He has already obtained the desired result, so what does he do with these boring things?

Hanging up the phone, Matthew entered the Red Penguin Company, went straight to the second floor, and came to Liszt's office.

As usual, the bald black man, the fat man, and Liszt were all there, but the difference was that the bald black man and the fat man didn't say a word as if they didn't see him.

"Boss." Matthew came to Liszt's desk~www.readwn.com~ Liszt looked up at him and handed over the car keys and documents, "This is tonight's work, go to Santa Monica."

Matthew took it, scratched his head, and said, "Boss, after tonight, I want to take a week off."

"What?" Liszt's eyes widened, "A week off? How many days have you taken this month?"

Seeing Liszt getting angry, the bald black man interjected deliberately, "He is a big star now! Of course he doesn't take this small job seriously!"

Anyone who sees that the employees under his command keep asking for leave will have an opinion. Liszt is obviously a little angry.

Matthew was about to say something nice, but before the words came out, the bald black man said again, "Big star, what amazing role are you going to play this time!"

He doesn't believe that the hillbilly gets so lucky every time.

Although he didn't want to care about a stupid pig like a bald black man, he continued to run on money, and Matthew also got a little angry. He turned his head and said, "The hero of the Britney Spears MV."

The bald black man immediately shut his mouth and didn't say a word, as if there was no such person in this office.

"You have taken too much leave." Liszt said the truth, "I can't explain it to the boss."

Matthew understood what he meant. Although he didn't want to lose his job, he didn't want to delay the shooting of the MV.

He put the keys and information on the desk, "Thank you for your care during this time, Mr. Liszt."

This man has all kinds of shortcomings, but when he needed it most, he gave him a job that could survive.

Liszt pushed the key to Matthew, "After finishing tonight, it's almost the end of the month. You give me a resignation report tomorrow, and I'll count your full attendance this month."

Matthew nodded and walked out of the office with the key. Tomorrow he will be unemployed.
