After leaving David Astor's office, Matthew took out his mobile phone and dialed Helen Herman's number, which was quickly picked up.

"What's up?"

Hearing Helen Herman's question, Matthew said as he walked, "I asked the teacher in the acting class just now and came up with an idea. Do you think it's feasible?"

He has not experienced the fierce situation of dozens of actors competing for a role before, and he also lacks relevant experience.

Helen Herman's slightly curious voice came from the receiver, "Speak."

Matthew found a quiet place in the school to stop and said, "Since Ronald Spears is a typical Jagged soldier, can we hire an active or retired officer to give me a period of military training. ."

There was silence in the receiver, only Helen Herman's breathing.

"That's what I think." Matthew never considered himself a genius in acting. "The next audition is at most about a month away. In such a short period of time, it is impossible for me to make great progress in acting."

"Yeah." Helen Herman said, "Give you two more months and there won't be any significant improvement."

Matthew did not refute and continued, "I want to find an active or retired professional officer to give me targeted training, especially the aspects of walking, standing and posture that can be easily observed in the audition. If I Can you have some military demeanor, will you have more hope of getting the role?"

Although his qualifications are relatively low, generally speaking, the chance of getting the role is not high, but the least hope, but also the greatest effort.

Seizing opportunities does not depend on fantasies, but practical actions and efforts.

There was no voice on the other side of the phone again. Helen Herman seemed to be thinking about it. After a while, she said, "It's also a way, and it's feasible."

"Helen." Matthew changed his hand to hold the phone, "Do you know any professionals in this field?"

"Wait for my news." Helen Herman said quickly, "I'll find someone to help me get in touch."

After the two of them finished talking, Matthew was about to hang up the phone when Helen Herman suddenly reminded, "Tell you, this may cost a lot of money."

Matthew frowned and said, "I still have some money in my hand, it should be enough."

Hanging up the phone, he suddenly regretted it. Why did he change his mobile phone? A mobile phone with a leaking sound can still be used...

Went out for lunch, and Matthew went back to school to continue language classes in the morning and afternoon. He hadn't seen Rachel McAdams in the past few days. He called specifically to ask, and the other party got a passer-by character and went to the north side. Filming in the valley area.

Today, the teacher of the language class has been replaced by an Englishman, and the content of the teaching is British pronunciation, which is the legendary London accent.

After this period of understanding, Matthew learned that it is very popular in Hollywood to speak an authentic British accent, especially in some special films, which are highly praised by film critics, and many outstanding American actors can speak their original accent. Switch freely between British accents.

Several teachers in language classes have said that many Hollywood films deliberately cast actors who can speak fluent English accents. The tune will feel very unreliable and unreliable, and there are many British tune actors with British background or film and television works adapted from famous books.

Even if it is a modern theme, it doesn't matter. There are actors of this type in many films. It doesn't matter if the British accent is obvious. They will directly say that the character is British.

Some British and American actors have very deep lines and are willing to work hard. They can switch their accents freely, not only switching between British and American accents, but also imitating African accents and European accents.

To achieve this state, it also requires a lot of practice for a long time. Accent correction and line skills should not be confused. In the words of language teachers, good lines skills do not mean being able to speak, but speaking: you can speak and laugh. , Sorry for the soul-stirring, open the movie of this type of actor, just listen, do nothing, it is very beautiful.

Just like acting freely, Matthew knows that he is also very far away from this realm.

However, after this period of study and practice, the vague Texas accent that Matthew left behind was almost inaudible.

Of course, there is such a magical existence in this world as dubbing, but in Hollywood live-action movies, actors will not easily accept it unless it is a last resort.

"Once dubbed, it can't be called an excellent performance, or even a qualified actor."

This is one of the unwritten rules in the Hollywood film and television industry, and even a beginner like Matthew has heard of it.

The negative typical of this aspect is still circulating in the circle. The Hollywood movie "My Fair Lady", adapted from the Broadway musical, invited Audrey Hepburn as the starring role. The singing requirements of the songs of the film do not match. In desperation, the crew decided to invite professional singers to dub Audrey Hepburn's singing passages in the later stage.

So, Audrey Hepburn could only hate the Oscar that year.

It is precisely because the Hollywood film and television industry is ashamed of being dubbed that accent counselors and language correction classes survive in large numbers in Hollywood. They have a complete teaching system to correct the defects of actors' pronunciation and avoid the embarrassment of "dubbing".

Maybe it was possible to be dubbed back then, but now, the accent problem can even kick an actor out of the game.

For the star dream, for making a lot of money, for the initial dream, there is no doubt that Matthew has worked hard in these courses.

The two-hour class ended quickly. Matthew packed his things unhurriedly. The people in the classroom gradually left, and soon only two or three remained. Just as he was about to leave with his backpack on his back, his phone rang.

"Have you found a suitable candidate so quickly?"

Matthew thought it was Helen Herman, took out his phone and looked, but it was Britney Spears' number.

After the MV team disbanded, although the two never met again, they kept in touch. Based on his inference, Britney Spears seemed to really regard him as a good friend.

"Hi, Boob." Matthew answered the phone, put on his backpack and said as he walked, "Why did you suddenly call?"

The two have talked on the phone several times in the past, after Britney was busy at night. After all, she is a big star, and she is still in the promotion period of her first album "The First Confession of Love", and her work is quite heavy.

"There was a show on the radio that I wanted to participate in." Britney sounded exasperated. "Something happened, and the agency and I temporarily canceled it. There will be nothing to do."

Matthew asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"It's alright, let's meet again." Britney seemed eager to find someone to talk to, "Where are you? Westwood District? I'll go look for you."

"I'm not in the Westwood District." Matthew walked out of the classroom and walked towards the school gate, "I'm at the Los Angeles Performing Arts School in North Hollywood, on Laurier Valley Avenue."

Over there, Britney seemed to be talking to someone. After a while, she said, "Will you wait for me at the door? The driver knows where it is, and I'll be there soon."

"Okay." Matthew adjusted his backpack, "I'll wait for you at the school gate."

He came to the outside of the school gate, specially found a conspicuous place on the side of the road, and waited patiently.

After waiting for only ten minutes, an ordinary-looking car came from a distance, and gradually slowed down as it approached the school gate. Matthew turned his head and looked over, just in time to see the rear window lowered, revealing Bran. Ni - Spears has a slightly green face.

He waved to the other side quickly, the car came to a stop immediately, the rear door was opened from the inside, Britney waved to him, "Get in the car, Matthew."

"Come on." Matthew took off his backpack, got into Britney's car, and closed the door.

Britney took Matthew's backpack, stuffed it behind the seat, and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Are you doing anything tonight?" Matthew asked.

Britney shook her head, "No." She then said angrily, "The originally scheduled radio event has been cancelled."

Matthew didn't rush to ask why, but instead said, "Long time no see, why don't I invite you to dinner?"

"Okay!" Britney responded without thinking, as if she had something to say to Matthew, "Just find a quiet place to chat."

There is a driver in the car, and it is too inconvenient to speak. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Matthew thought of the restaurant he went to last time, and asked again, "Can we go for Chinese food?"

He remembered that in addition to the Eight Immortals table and Taishi chairs, the restaurant also had a separate private room just like a traditional Chinese restaurant.

Britney nodded directly, "Okay."

Matthew politely said to the driver, "Go to Westwood District, Rochester Avenue."

North Hollywood is not very far from the Westwood District, and the traffic is very convenient. According to Matthew's directions, the driver found the Chinese restaurant in a short time.

As soon as the car was parked, Britney wanted to get out of the car. Matthew pointed to her face, "Boob, do you want to be watched?"

"Ah, I forgot."

Britney showed an embarrassed smile and put on a pair of wide sunglasses. Matthew saw a Dodgers baseball cap on the seat and took it and put it on her head.

"Are you all right?" Britney asked.

Matthew tilted his head to look at her and said, "Okay, let's get off the bus."

He got out of the car first and walked towards the restaurant. Britney followed. After entering the restaurant, Matthew asked the waiter a few words. It was probably early and there were not many customers. The waiter led him and Boo. Lan Ni entered a private room decorated in Chinese style.

Matthew ordered a few random dishes, and Britney kept looking at the furniture in the private room curiously.

"Sit down, Boob." Matthew greeted.

Britney sat on the teacher's chair and patted the hardwood armrest, "This chair is really weird."

Matthew didn't explain, but instead asked, "What's the matter? You look puffed up all the way."

"It's not that radio station yet!" Britney exploded a foul language beginning with F, "And that **** Christina Aguilera!"
