Because the apartment was not in the middle of the year, Matthew found a good hotel nearby, opened a room early, and sent Britney the detailed address.

Britney was probably really busy and didn't come until after 8:30. After meeting, the two kissed each other passionately before they could talk. Once a couple who had been separated for a long time had an affection, they would eventually turn into a result.

"Stop moving..." Britney seemed exhausted, "Let me rest for a while."

She leaned against Matthew and gasped, "I'm almost exhausted recently. The daily plan is full. The agents and record companies are always urging you. You are not in Los Angeles. I can't find anyone to complain."

Matthew did it and held Britney in his arms, "You are a big star now, and all these efforts are worth it."

"Yeah!" Britney nodded, "Originally, my meeting with Christina Aguilera at a concert in Chicago would have time and conflicts with the venue, but the economic man said that Christina Aguilera's record company was worried about my popularity and retreated."

Seeing Britney looking complacent, Matthew pinched her nose, "So, Bubu. You don't have to bother with a little star who is inferior to you, look farther away."

Perhaps taking a different position will lead to different ideas, he said, "You should look forward and surpass those who are ahead of you, such as Madonna."

Britney scratched her face, "This is hard."

"This is a long-term goal." Matthew felt that if Britney could focus her energy on her career, she might not have had so many messy things. She couldn't help but lean into her ear and said, "Only when a person has a goal, he will have the motivation to strive."

Britney blinked and asked, "Do you have any short-term goals?"

Matthew couldn't help but shake his head. In some ways, Britney is really a foolish girl. It is also possible that her talent and energy are all focused on singing. After all, there are few super geniuses in this world who are proficient in everything.

"Of course there is." Matthew said seriously, "the short-term goal is to make your world tour successful next year."

"This is not difficult." Britney seemed very confident, "I worked very hard."

Matthew thought about it and said, "Bub, once we succeed in this industry, we will face huge temptations. With the goal of striving, you will feel that many temptations are not worth mentioning."

Britney frowned, "I can't refuse it if there is a temptation, and I don't want to refuse."

"Huh?" Matthew thought to himself that she can't take drugs, right?

According to the guy Michael Fassbender, among Hollywood stars, the proportion of singers taking drugs is far higher than that among movie stars, and among singers, rock stars are the most common. It cannot be said that everyone is taking drugs, but it is relatively difficult to find someone who doesn't take drugs.

"You!" Britney looked at him blankly and said, "You are the biggest temptation."

Matthew couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, and Britney said again, "Really, I'm not kidding!"

The ringtone of the cell phone suddenly rang, and Matthew took out Britney's cell phone from under the pillow, and without looking at the screen, he stuffed it directly into her hand.

Britney turned off the ringtone and said, "It's the alarm clock I set."

"What's wrong?" Matthew didn't quite understand.

"It's time for me to leave." Britney struggled to stand up with a reluctance, "Dad is at home, I can't stay away from home at night, nor can I go back too late."

Matthew didn't want to keep her, and said, "Then I'll send you down."

Britney found the clothes from the ground and complained while wearing them, "I have no freedom at all, and my dad has very strict regulations on my evening time."

"This shows that he cares about you." Matthew didn't think much, "I'm worried that you will have trouble at night."

After putting on his clothes and leaving the room, Britney was still complaining, and Matthew comforted him, "When I earn enough money, I will buy a house, and we will move together at that time."

"Yeah!" Britney smiled again, "You have to hurry up."

Britney put on her hat, the two got on the elevator together, and went down to the first floor of the hotel. Britney said again, "Tomorrow afternoon, I will go to Seattle to see the venue, and I will go to Nashville again. I may not be able to come back before Christmas."

Matthew knew that his career was very important at this stage, so he gently patted Britney on the back, "It's okay, I'm going to go back to the UK soon, the crew will start filming. I'll go see you when I take a vacation next time."

"Okay." Britney looked at the time and could only walk out of the hotel quickly and leave by car.

Standing at the door of the hotel, watching Britney's car go away, Matthew returned to the hotel, stayed until the morning before checking out and rushing to Burbank, and came to the Angel Agency to meet Helen Hermann.

"Long time no see, Helen." Matthew sat on the single sofa in the office. "You are still so beautiful."

Helen Herman put down his work, "You are still so good at talking." She looked up and looked at Matthew, "I heard you had a conflict with an assistant producer?"

"It's not a conflict!" Matthew was not surprised that Helen Hermann was so well-informed, and he decided, "It was her driving and hit me, threatening to kill me. I kept remembering your advice and endured it."

"Why did she leave the crew?" Helen Hermann obviously didn't believe him.

Matthew had no choice but to spread his hands, "She had a problem with an affair with someone. Can't blame me for the blame, right?"

Helen Hermann tilted his head and looked at him, "It really has nothing to do with you?"

"Really!" Matthew looked wronged, "How could I believe it before I could say it? Do you want me to swear?"

"No need." Helen Herman shook his head first, and then said, "The filming is about to start. Be more low-key and more dedicated in the crew."

Matthew said confidently, "I will do my best."

This is his sincere words.

Helen Hermann no longer kept abreast of this matter. After all, everything has passed and there is no negative impact. According to Eric Pock, those actors may have planned something, but the leader is a British actor and a German actor, which has basically nothing to do with Matthew.

"This time I come to you, there are several main things to explain to you." She talked about the serious matter, "I have transferred the first penalty for the liquidated damages you entrusted to me to the production company through the court; it is almost the end of the year, the fees you entrusted to Wilson's lawyer need to be settled, you will go to the finance office to sign; "Brothers" is about to start filming, and the second fee has arrived, and I will ask someone to deduct the broker's fees and transfer it to your account."

"The second pay has arrived?" Matthew opened his eyes wide, "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Although Helen Hermann had to deduct 10% of the brokerage fee and pay the second installment penalty to the production company, it could also give him a real economic relief.

It has been almost a year since he was here. Apart from the necessary expenses, when did he spend money or not?

Helen Hermann thought of some bad things from Matthew's expression and said, "I'll give you a suggestion. After this drama, no one can tell when the next character with a good pay will be received. You'd better leave a portion of the money to save as a backup, rather than squander it directly."

"Don't worry!" Matthew is essentially not an American who likes to spend in advance, "I will save most of the money."

He was thinking about buying a car, but if it really didn't work, he would buy a used car. And there was no need to worry now. He would stay on the set in the UK for a long time and basically wouldn't use it.

Helen Hermann's eyes fell on his laptop again, "I'll remind you that "The Soul-Edit Girl" has been released."

"It's already released?" Matthew has been in the UK and has not paid attention to the news about this. "I'm going to check it out."

No matter what, there is the first role he played on it.

"Previewed in a small range." Helen Hermann checked his notebook. "There are only three theaters in Los Angeles to show." She mentioned the addresses of the three theaters in turn. "This video has a good reputation. If you want to watch it, it's best to buy tickets a little in advance."

"Thank you." Matthew stood up, "If it's okay, I'll leave first."

Helen Hermann didn't raise his head, "Goodbye."

Matthew waved at her, walked out of the office, went to the finance office, signed the document, left the Angel Agency, and found the three theaters Helen Hermann mentioned in Burbank, and prepared to see the first movie he participated in, "The Soul-Escaped Girl".

When he arrived at the art theater, Matthew bought the ticket for the next show, sat in the hall for a while, and then walked into the screening room. As Helen Herman said, the good reputation of this film brought extremely high attendance to a small preview. He came early, and there were nearly half of the audience in the screening room.

Among them, some people still have media tags hanging around their necks, and they are obviously journalists or commentators.

Sitting in his seat and waiting for the movie to start screening, Matthew recalled the filming of "The Soul-Evering Girl" at that time and couldn't help laughing. He broke into this circle like a naughty man, and was lucky enough to meet two big stars, Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder.

Unfortunately, I guess neither of these two people want to see him again.

The movie began to be screened soon, and Matthew looked at the film more from the performance level. Winona Ryder performed well and seemed more impactful on the screen than live performances. However, perhaps because of the role-setting relationship, Angelina Jolie almost stole all the limelight as soon as she appeared.

It is no exaggeration to say that the female supporting role has stolen the show.
