Chapter 41 Full cooperation
(I dream of getting 10,000 recommended tickets this week!)
As soon as the sun rose from the horizon, some studios in Disney Studios began to enter and exit. Matthew wore a baseball bat and a roll of newspapers on his head. He showed the guards at the door of the studio that he had obtained the entry and exit certificates he had obtained during his first audition and walked into the studio.
It was still early, except for a few studios, there were not many people in the studio. He took an electric car from the parking area of the electric car and drove to the studio rented by the "Sometimes" MV crew.
In addition to famous songs, Matthew has basically never heard of Britney Spears' songs. To be honest, his music appreciation is still at the level of popular songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 1990s. His foreign language songs have been heard very limited. The most impressive ones are Ricky Martin's "The Cup of Life" and Celine Dion's "My Heart Eternal".
Not to mention Britney Spears, even Michael Jackson, he only heard of his name and did not listen to his songs.
This time, he bought Britney Spears' album specifically for audition. Although he couldn't say anything, he could also hear that "Sometimes" is different from the album's title song "The First Confession of Love", which is relatively soothing.
This song also tells the story of a boy or a girl about love.
When he arrived at the studio, parked the electric car, Matthew walked towards the door of the studio. A few days ago, he used the audition certificate in his hand to sneak in and see it. The studio was not big, but it should have complete equipment and even had several lounges.
Based on the latest situation he learned, Martin Jackson does not plan to go to the beach to shoot, and plans to do the entire process in the studio and then conduct background synthesis later.
"Come here so early?"
As soon as I arrived at the door of the studio, someone turned out from the corridor on one side. This was an assistant during the first audition. Matthew laughed naturally, "Good morning, York."
The assistant who called York nodded, "It's so early."
He remembered that this was the actor who auditioned, but forgot his name.
"I'm Matthew." Matthew looked very familiar, "we talked in the corridor during the last audition."
"Ah, yes." York slapped his head and remembered that the person left a good impression on him at that time. "You seem to be the fifth audition room to enter."
Matthew nodded, "You're going to cheer me up then."
This is what he added on purpose to bring the relationship closer.
York laughed enthusiastically and greeted Matthew, "Let's go, I'll open the door for you."
"Thank you." Matthew followed him and said as he walked, "You are the first one to come to the crew, right?"
"Yes, it's my turn to be on duty today." York turned his head and looked at Matthew, "You're the second morning."
Matthew followed him into the corridor where the lounge was located and said, "I thought of the audition today, and I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep, so I just came here early."
York advises, “The more nervous you are, the less you perform, you need to relax.”
"Hmm." Matthew walked past Britney Spears's dedicated lounge and asked casually, "Will Britney stay here when she rests?"
"Yeah." York only thought Matthew was curious, "As a celebrity, there are special treatments. This is her special lounge. Except for Britney and her assistant, there are agents, others are not allowed to enter."
After walking through the corridor where Britney's lounge was located, he walked a distance and came to the lounge where he had been last time. York took out the key and opened the door, and said to Matthew, "You can wait here. If you are bored, there is yesterday's newspaper on the newspaper rack. I'm going to do it."
Matthew walked into the lounge, turned around and said, "Okay, you're busy. I'll just stay by myself."
York quickly left here. Matthew stood at the door of the lounge, observed for a while, walked back along the corridor, and came to the door of Britney Spears's dedicated lounge, flattened the newspaper and stuffed it into the gap below the door.
This is just the first choice, and if it doesn't work, he has a backup plan.
Matthew has very limited resources and can only think of two plans that require luck. If you are not lucky, you can't blame others.
Then, he returned to the lounge, picked up a newspaper from yesterday, found a place to sit down, and started to read quietly.
After browsing a newspaper, the sound of walking began to appear outside the lounge. He took out his cell phone and looked at it. It was still some time before the audition was held.
After a while, the lounge door was pushed open from outside, and Amanda walked in.
"You're finally here." Matthew breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were going to let me go."
"There's no way, Helen asked me to wait for her." Amanda came over and sat next to Matthew, "I'll ask for information for you."
Matthew's complaints stopped and asked, "Will Britney come today?"
Amanda nodded, "I will definitely come, I will arrive around nine o'clock."
Matthew asked again, "How many auditions are I? Does Helen know?"
"If there is no surprise, it should be the second one."
The effort Matthew spent on Amanda during this period was not in vain. She seemed to have really regarded Matthew as a friend. "The first one is James Brandt, you are the second one, Michael Sheehn is the last one."
She thought for a while and said, "According to Helen's understanding, James Brandt's chance of winning is very low, and the final candidate must be one of you and Michael Sheehn."
Matthew nodded and said sincerely, "Thank you, Amanda, you have helped me a lot."
Amanda smiled sweetly, "We are friends, and I hope you will win in the end. That Michael Sheen hates it."
"Hmm?" Matthew was puzzled.
"Hmph!" Amanda snorted first, then said hatefully, "He thought he was good-looking, but he actually wanted to seduce me some time ago."
There is something like this? Matthew guessed that Michael Sheehn should have learned from him, had relationships everywhere, and then there was a problem with the methods and methods used by Amanda.
In the past where I lived, unless I was tall, rich and handsome, I would be disgusted with a young girl.
Matthew never intended to pursue these girls, and his purpose was hidden deeper than that guy Michael Sheeen.
Seeing that Amanda still looked hateful, Matthew thought about it and said in a low voice, "Tell you something, don't tell others..."
He leaned close to Amanda's ear and muttered. Amanda first widened his eyes, then opened his mouth, and after a while he reached out to cover his mouth to avoid making a surprised sound.
"Really?" Amanda was incredible.
Matthew nodded slightly, "When did I lied to you?"
Amanda smiled uncontrollably, smiling very happily, throwing all the unhappiness just now aside.
"He is really useless! It's so despicable!" Amanda was a little worried, "Will this affect you? After all, the director will support Michael Sheehn."
"So..." Matthew looked at Amanda expectantly, "I need your help, otherwise I will definitely be done."
Amanda slapped Matthew's arm hard, "Don't worry, I will cooperate with you. You can't let that disgusting guy succeed."
Matthew raised a thumb, "I knew you were the most interesting friend."
If Amanda might have helped him due to mercy, he would definitely cooperate with him now.
Gradually, the corridor outside became busy. After a while, two other actors who participated in the makeup audition also walked into the lounge. Matthew attacked Michael Sheehn. It seemed that his injuries were obviously not healed, and he was still a little strange when he walked.
Michael Sheehn nodded to him. When he saw Amanda, his face looked a little embarrassed, and he didn't come over and found a place to stand.
"I'll go to the door of the studio." Amanda saw Michael Sheeon not daring to sit down and could only stand, and she was chilling. She had nightmares at night and volunteered, "I'll inform you when Britney comes."
"Yeah." Matthew nodded, took out his cell phone and looked at the time, "I guess I'm going to put on makeup. Do you know where to find me?"
The two of them spoke very low, and only they could hear each other. Amanda waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm more familiar with you here."
After Amanda left, Matthew and the other two waited for more than twenty minutes. Then Helen Herman came with an assistant in the crew and took them to the dressing room to prepare for the makeup audition. They entered the dressing room, and Helen Herman left again.
The three of them used the same dressing room. James Brandt, who was the first to audition, put on makeup first, Matthew and Michael Sheehn went to try out clothes. The crew prepared light-colored sportswear, which was not bad in material and was quite comfortable to wear on.
Since it was just a simple base makeup, the makeup artist put on the top quickly, not as scary as when he was putting on makeup in the "Gladiator" crew. As soon as he arrived at nine o'clock, he got the makeup of Matthew and the stylist also picked out the clothes that suited each other, but after changing it, he could only stand to avoid wrinkles of the clothes.
The audition will not start until 9:30, and Matthew can only stand in the dressing room and wait.
After waiting for a while, there was a knock outside. The makeup artist opened the door and said a few words, then turned to Matthew and said, "Matthew Horner, your agent is looking for you."
Matthew walked out and the stylist reminded him, "Be careful with the clothing and makeup!"
"I'll be very careful!" Matthew assured.
Seeing Matthew walk out of the dressing room, Michael Sheeen was a little nervous. Helen Herman was looking for that guy at this time. Why? Could it be?
Impossible! He shook his head and contacted Director Martin Jackson yesterday. The other party said that he had recommended him to Britney and the record company. Neither side had any intention of opposing him and would definitely get the male lead.
In the corridor outside the makeup artist, Matthew followed Amanda and walked towards the actor's lounge. When Amanda saw that there was no one around, she whispered, "Britney is here, I guess she will be here in two minutes."
"Okay!" Matthew nodded, "Let's go to the lounge first and wait a while before coming back."
The two quickly walked into the empty lounge, Matthew stood inside and waited, while Amanda stayed at the door to observe the situation.
"Where is Helen?" Matthew asked curiously, "she doesn't seem to care much about the audition."
"With the senior executives of the record company," Amanda shrugged. "Helen told me yesterday that auditions are not necessary. No matter who wins, the final candidates are her clients. Is there any difference?"
Matthew thought about it and it was true.
