"Matthew Horner went to the hospital to visit Britney and stayed in the hospital. Their relationship was completely confirmed!"

Even Matthew himself did not expect that in this way, he would make the headlines of many tabloids and be instantly recognized by many people.

"It is reported that Matthew Horner stayed in Britney's ward last night. According to informed sources, the two..."

In a tabloid, there were also descriptions inappropriate for children, as if the reporter had witnessed it with their own eyes.

Even a tabloid published a photo of Matthew riding in Rachel McAdams' car yesterday, accusing him of stepping on two boats.

As for Matthew's identity, it was basically checked by reporters, and he was also seen in the newspapers.

There are also many reporters who are surprised that a young actor like Matthew has performed in the same frame as Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder, and also starred in Ridley Scott's new film "Gladiator". a very important role.

Matthew, on the other hand, heeded the advice of the two agents and remained silent no matter when and where.

"Eric!"

In a golf club in Orange County, southeast of Los Angeles, Helen Herman handed the cue to the caddie and said to the middle-aged man standing next to her, "I'm not recommending you to a nobody."

She came here not only to avoid Britney Spears' manager and record company, but more importantly to meet the producer named Eric Polk.

"I know, Britney's rumored boyfriend." Eric Pooch pulled down the brim of his visor, "who's been a character actor on 'Gladiator' and Ridley's 'Gladiator' ."

Helena Herman smiled and followed Eric Polk to the next hole. She had done enough knowledge before. The crew where Eric Polk worked requires a large number of qualified and Not a very famous actor, Matthew is relatively less qualified.

Eric Polk walked ahead and said, "Helen, you should go to Tom Hanks or Steven Spielberg for this kind of thing."

"I can't speak in front of them." Helen Herman is very self-aware. "My father refuses to call them, so I can only come to you."

She never thought of following her father's path at all. This kind of important favor will only be used once, and it would be too wasteful to use it now.

Helen Herman followed Eric Polk and continued, "Isn't this a war group show? There must be a lot of characters in it. Besides Richard Winster, there are many supporting roles, right?"

Eric Polk stopped, thought for a moment, and said, "There are quite a few supporting roles. Well, you pass Matthew Horner's information to my secretary, and I'll add him to the audition invitation. ."

"Thank you..." Helen Herman was interrupted by Eric Polk before he finished speaking, "Don't be too busy to thank you, I can only do this, can he pass the audition, I said no Calculate."

Helen Herman nodded slightly, but still said, "Thank you, Eric."

She also knows that Eric Polk is a relatively low-ranking producer on the crew, and the real masters of this TV miniseries are Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

In front of such a big person, a junior like her can't speak.

Now that Eric Polk sold his favor to Helen Herman, he simply added, "The crew will call in people to audition in Los Angeles, and then go to England and France to train and shoot, these roles are soldiers, make your actors as much as possible. Work out more and look stronger."

Helen Herman thought of the strong body that Matthew had cultivated through years of physical labor, and said, "You can rest assured on this point."

Eric Polk asked for a club from the caddie and greeted Helen Herman, "Come on, let's go play the next hole."

The two continued to play, and when Eric Polk was in a good mood and in a good mood, Helen Herman said, "Matthew Horner looks a bit rough, can you find a tough guy type role?"

To be honest, she doesn't have much confidence in Matthew's acting skills. Compared with the psychologically complex roles, tough guys in war dramas are less difficult to perform and more pleasing to the audience.

Anyway, it's a small supporting role, and Eric Polk didn't refuse. He waved his hand and said proudly, "No problem, you wait for my news."

In the Westwood District of Los Angeles, Matthew hid at home and did not go out. Early in the morning, he found the figure of the paparazzi downstairs. In order to avoid trouble, he simply cancelled the routine morning running exercise. Anyway, there is something to do in the room. .

Reading and reading newspapers is a daily routine. Compared with a few months ago, his reading level has improved to a certain extent. Ordinary reading is easy to deal with, but his writing level has not improved at all, just like his writing level was very good. Like the poor classmates, the language expression ability is very strong, and the written writing is completely different.

Fortunately, what he wants to be is a Hollywood star, and it doesn't matter if his writing skills are almost there.

Moreover, Matthew plans to properly exercise his writing skills after his reading level improves. After all, the future is an era of flooded social networking. If you want to express some opinions or do other things through the Internet, you can't always ask someone to ghostwrite. Bar?

He has checked in this period of time, and now there is a carrier of blogging in North America, and he has also thought about starting a blog, and he has nothing to write about. The ability is limited, and I plan to talk about it after a while.

Another reason is that Matthew not only just bought a new phone, he also bought a second-hand TV and video set last week, and rented a lot of Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino Filming with Daniel Day-Lewis and adding a large mirror to the apartment wall, get ready to study the acting styles of these well-known actors.

In addition, he also found David Astor, a teacher at the acting school, and asked him specifically for advice. This old actor from non-academy taught him a very alternative way to imitate those famous Hollywood actors. The performance also provided him with a collection of the wonderful performances of the acting school in the film.

According to David Astor, as long as Matthew continues to practice persistently, although he may not be able to become an acting school, at least his acting skills reach the average level of ordinary actors.

Turn on the TV and put a video of "The Godfather" into the video player. Matthew watched it for a while. Like Marlon Brando inside, he sat on the chair imposingly. Because no one else was present, he could only pass Self-observation in the mirror, I don't know why, compared to Marlon Brando on the TV, I always feel like I'm just superficial.

The criteria for judging acting skills are indeed very subjective, but that is after the acting skills reach the standard line. The gap between a rookie-level character like Matthew and the well-known acting schools is still very obvious.

For someone with average talent like him, if you want to improve your acting skills, you can only do it through a lot of practice over a long period of time.

There may be super-geniuses who are capable of acting as soon as they debut, but there are very few.

After finishing the "Godfather" videotape, Matthew pressed the playback button, found a few clips that impressed him just now, stood in front of the mirror, imitated Marlon Brando and Al Pacino in it, and acted by himself .

Although there was no audience and no one to point out, he was very serious and completely immersed in the characters and scenes of the film.

Counting the 20 years of living on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Matthew has never been so focused. He has been in the actor's circle for several months, and he sees it very clearly. For the helpless young actors, the opportunity is the best. Importantly, it takes ability to seize fleeting opportunities, but ability is not something that ordinary people are born with.

He once read a widely circulated story about an actor on a smartphone. Because it was too long, he couldn’t remember it clearly. It was roughly that after an Oscar winner won the Oscar, he told the acting teacher who taught him. Saying that you are an Oscar winner, the teacher is very disdainful to say that among the students he has taught, no one is worse than you in acting, you are an Oscar winner just because you got that role, and they don’t , this is nothing to be proud of and show off!

This statement is very reasonable to a large extent, and it just shows the importance of opportunity. Matthew once believed it, but now he understands that this is also a story, and it has nothing to do with the chicken soup in the circle of friends at that time. the difference.

In this story, in his opinion, the most important thing is that the Oscar winner got that role, and the others didn't!

Why didn't those people get the role, but the Oscar winner got it? Is it God's intentional arrangement? Or just luck? In fact, it is not. To win and seize opportunities is a kind of ability in itself!

This ability is often more important than the acting skills emphasized by the teacher!

Matthew threw himself into the practice, and it was not until the sky outside the window was completely dark that he felt his stomach growl. Lunch at that Chinese restaurant the other day.

It was also at the beginning of the lanterns after nightfall. In a small restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard, Michael Sheehan came out after finishing his dinner.

After a period of recuperation, the injury on his buttocks finally healed. Thinking of the insults he received and the embarrassment of seeking medical treatment, he is still very annoyed to this day.

The doctor clearly told him at the time that his injury was not serious at first, but he ate food that should not be eaten and drank alcohol that should not have been drunk, causing local redness, swelling and inflammation, and the injury was further aggravated.

Michael Sheehan immediately thought of the meal Matthew invited him to eat, and knew that he was being tricked.

Since he didn't know where Matthew lived, the guy who called him was always offline. He had been wandering around the Red Penguin Company in recent days, hoping to find that despicable and shameless **** and settle the account with him.
