After taking a shower and changing clothes at the fitness club, Matthew went to the Los Angeles Performing Arts School. Now, he will practice two hours of accent practice five days a week and under the guidance of professional teachers every night. As time goes by and his persistent efforts, his British accent has gradually become more and more accurate.

Before Christmas, Matthew left Los Angeles and flew to Toronto, Canada to see Britney. Britney's itinerary was very tight. Since the release of the second album, she has been spending almost all of this time in hotels, planes and event sites. Except for the fact that he had visited her specifically once, the two of them had never seen each other again.

Matthew originally planned to spend this Christmas together, but he got off the plane and just turned on his phone, he received an emergency text message from Britney more than half an hour ago. The record company temporarily changed her itinerary and asked her to go to New York to attend the New Year commemorative event held in Times Square and leave Toronto.

He quickly dialed Britney's number, and the other side prompted to turn off the plane, as if he had boarded the plane.

I checked the flight to New York in the airport. There was a flight to New York about half an hour ago. Matthew called to consult about the hotel Britney stayed in Toronto. Britney and his group had already checked in.

Sitting on the bench in the airport terminal, Matthew scratched his head a little, called Britney's official phone number again, and still prompted to turn off the phone.

He waited for a long time and calculated that the plane there should have arrived. He called Britney again, and someone quickly answered this time.

"Sorry, Matthew." Britney's low voice came from over there, "The record company just received an invitation, and I can't do anything about it."

"It's okay." Matthew felt much more at ease when he heard Britney's voice, "Work is important."

"Yeah." Britney said over there again, "It's time to leave the airport. There are all fans outside, I'm going to die."

She added, "When I finish my work, I'll go to Los Angeles to find you."

Matthew knew that there was only one thing he could do and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you in Los Angeles."

Britney hung up the phone there, Matthew put away his cell phone, dragged his suitcase to change his ticket to Los Angeles, and returned to Los Angeles that afternoon.

His life has returned to the same old state, training, studying, and talking to Britney every night, and occasionally cooperating with the Scorpion King crew to promote the promotion of the film.

Time soon entered 2002. It has been three years since Matthew came here. There have been many changes in the past three years. The biggest change is that he has gone from being an unknown poor boy to having hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets, and has become the male lead by passers-by actor.

He is undoubtedly getting closer to becoming famous.

Of course, if you fail, what awaits him is the abyss.

Then, I had my first girlfriend in my life. Although both of them were very busy and had limited meetings a year, I also became concerned about it here.

After three years, he gradually got used to the American social atmosphere and Western life, his thoughts and ways of considering problems, and was also changing due to the influence of the environment.

But Matthew knew very well that his goal had not changed and was one step closer to his goal.

After entering 2002, Matthew focused on three main things. One was Britney's announcement. After her trip to New York, she went to Europe again; the second was the Pirates of the Caribbean project, where there was no more specific news yet, and his relevant preparations continued; the third was "Black Hawk Down", which began to be released on a large scale.

After the New Year, Sony Columbia Pictures pushed "Black Hawk Down" into more North American theaters, with a surge from 5 to 3,110, but the box office results are not very ideal.

In previous previews, although the single-player box office results of "Black Hawk Down" were not outstanding, the minimum single-player performance was above $40,000. On the first weekend of its expansion, the single-player box office dropped directly below the $10,000 mark, only more than $9,000.

The first weekend of the film's expansion of its release, earning $28 million in North America, which is a certain gap from Sony Columbia Pictures' expectations.

The good reputation of "Black Hawk Down" did not bring excellent box office results. The professional organization cinema Sore's prediction for the final North American box office was only around $100 million.

Compared to the film's $92 million investment, the box office of $100 million is still far from returning to the capital.

However, Sony Columbia is very confident that the film will eventually make a profit. First, it has overseas box office, and second, "Black Hawk Down" won several heavyweight nominations.

Matthew specifically paid attention to the nomination list for the 74th Academy Awards. "Black Hawk Down" won many nominations such as Best Director, Best Photography, Best Editing, etc., and he received some Oscar effect bonus.

Since "Black Hawk Down" was nominated for the Oscar, Helen Hermann also contacted the crew and wanted Matthew to appear on the Oscar red carpet. Universal Studios also had plans to promote "The Scorpion King".

However, it is not difficult to implement. The crew of "Black Hawk Down" has limited places to participate in the Oscar. First of all, they have to take care of the people who won the Oscar nomination and their relatives and friends.

Universal Pictures quickly gave up. Matthew was too famous and wanted to push him to the Oscar red carpet. Compared with the promotional effect, Universal Pictures believes that it would not be cost-effective to pay too much.

Matthew himself did not have such extravagance. Although the release of "Black Hawk Down" and the promotion of "The Scorpion King" to a certain extent have given him some attention, strictly speaking, he is still an ordinary actor, not a star.

…………

On Burbank, a black BMW slowly stopped on the side of the road. Matthew pushed the door and got out of the car. The sun was a little dazzling at noon. He turned around and took out his sunglasses and stuck it on his face, and walked towards the cafe agreed with Helen Hermann.

Not far ahead is Walt Disney Headquarters. A cross-bridge connects it with the Disney studio across the street, creating the most famous scenery on Nanbo Wei Avenue.

The cafe is right next to Disney headquarters, facing the Disney Studios.

Matthew pushed open the glass door of the cafe and immediately saw Helen Hermann. She was sitting in a locker next to the window, looking at Disney Studios through the huge glass window.

"What are you looking at?" He walked over and sat opposite Helen Hermann, "so tragic."

Helen Hermann withdrew his gaze, instead of answering him, instead asked, "What to drink?"

Matthew leaned on the back of the chair, "I've asked for black tea." He then asked, "You are so idle today that you actually asked me to have coffee together."

He and Helen Hermann have always had only one job intersection.

Helen Herman slowly stirred the coffee in front of him, picked it up and took a sip, and said, "Universal Pictures has confirmed the premiere time, April 9, in Chandler Hall at the Los Angeles Music Center."

But Matthew asked, "When did they start to make efforts in publicity?"

The promotion of "The Scorpion King" has always been lukewarm. The male protagonist has only attended two media promotion meetings so far, and the media response can only be said to be mediocre.

"The publicity resources are concentrated in one month before the release." Helen Hermann obviously has enough knowledge. "Universal Pictures has only invested $12 million in publicity and distribution expenses, and has to produce a considerable number of copies. The funds left for publicity cannot be as abundant as "The Return of the Mummy", so it can only concentrate on building momentum."

She put down the coffee cup and said, "If you had agreed to have a fake relationship with Hu Kaili at that time, Universal Pictures would have started to make a fuss about this."

Matthew shook his head, "You know, this is impossible." He blocked Helen Herman's later words first, "This is not my own business. If it only involves me, I will be fine if you do it, but if it involves another person, I cannot make a decision on her."

"I won't say that." Seeing Matthew's firm attitude, Helen Hermann stopped mentioning this matter, and instead said, "The crew gave you several places at the premiere. If you have friends who are more well-known, you can invite them to cheer for you."

Matthew thought for a while and said, "I will notify my friends."

Go back and call James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to see if they come. By the way, there is Orlando Bloom, this guy is so popular now.

Helen Herman said again, "In terms of publicity, you'll wait for the crew's notification, don't worry." She turned to look at Disney Studios, "I got the news that Disney has officially launched a project for Jerry Brookheimer's project, the title is "Pirates of the Caribbean", and the budget for this film is $140 million."

Matthew immediately came to his spirits and asked, "Is there any news about the script role?"

"No." Helen Hermann shook his head slowly, "Jerry Brookheimer has found Ted Elliott and Terry Rosio, the screenwriter of "Shrek Monster", and is ready to start writing the script."

Matthew doesn't know these two screenwriters, but "Monster Shrek" knows that he has served as the screenwriter of this movie, and is definitely not a simple character.

Helen Herman stretched out a finger and pointed at the Disney Studios, saying, "Jerry Brookheimer has started to design and build the set in the studio."

Matthew scratched his head, "If you don't even have a script, start the scene?"

"Nothing is impossible in Hollywood and Jerry Brookheimer's hands." Helen Hermann crossed his hands and placed them on the table. "Now there is not just a script, and even the director is not sure."

"What about the actor?" Matthew asked about the most concerned things.

"It's time to wait for the director to come in place," Helen Herman replied. "As far as I know, the crew will not start selecting actors until June and filming will start in October."
