In the second half of last year, not sure who convinced him, he thought his handsome looks and tall figure made him star material. Foolishly, he ran to Los Angeles to become an actor. Maybe luck was on his side—while working part-time as a driver for a party service company, he met an agent who really appreciated him...

It was precisely because of this agent that he came here, to this temporary studio in downtown Los Angeles, converted from a standalone house, where he suddenly fell in the dressing room...

"Sigh..."

Matthew Carter let out a sigh. The information in his mind told him that he was indeed in Los Angeles!

He glanced around. Whether it was the posters on the walls or the various items on the makeup table, anywhere there was writing, it was all a string of letters.

Pulling out the chair, Matthew Carter sat down and continued sorting through the memories in his brain.

The spiritual legacy left behind was just too frustrating!

He was uneducated before, and he still is now; previously, his literacy was just enough to read web novels, but now even reading anything complicated is a struggle; life used to be tough, but at least he had a place to stay at the construction site. Now, the previous owner, for the Hollywood star dream, quit his original job and came here to be the leading man...

Leading man? Matthew Carter suddenly stood up, recalling the words someone had said in English outside the door earlier. That immediately put him at ease—he could understand English!

Then, to his delight, that person had mentioned that the director, the leading actress, and even the whole crew were waiting for him, the leading man!

This is the leading man! Even if it's just a TV drama, the leading man can make a lot of money, right?

Wait a minute... Matthew Carter felt something was off. Leading man? What leading man? Could it be the leading man in a Hollywood movie?

In an instant, he thought of those young stars who became famous overnight and took Hollywood by storm.

Although not highly educated, there were just too many Hollywood popcorn movies. Back when he was working hard, he would sometimes download some typical popcorn flicks to watch, so he recognized a few Hollywood stars.

For example, he really liked the "Transformers" series, and remembered that the actress nicknamed Fox was a classic example of overnight fame!

Matthew Carter couldn't help but jump up from the chair in excitement, walked to the dressing room door, quietly opened it, and peeked outside.

The space outside was much larger than the dressing room, lavishly decorated. He could see six or seven people gathered around a black camera, seemingly busy setting something up. Opposite the camera was a beige European-style sofa, with two people standing beside it, talking.

One was a middle-aged man with glasses, the other was a woman.

"Could that be the director and the leading actress?"

Like most men, Matthew Carter's eyes naturally fell on the woman. She had long, straight golden hair, and from this angle, her face wasn't visible, but her tall figure and long legs were obvious—sexy and slim.

Especially her outfit, which was quite revealing: a black tight-fitting tank top on her upper body, accentuating her chest and flat stomach, and tight-fitting jeans on her lower body, outlining perfect leg lines.

Even though he couldn't see her face, Matthew Carter still classified this woman as a beauty.

This must be the leading actress! Matthew Carter immediately decided. Acting opposite such a leading lady would definitely be a great job...

He couldn't help but smile. The previous guy wasn't entirely useless after all—not everything left behind was worthless. This job he found seemed pretty good.

"Am I about to embark on a bright path to Hollywood?"

Such a thought popped into his mind, easing the discomfort of arriving in this world. After all, there was nothing to miss about his previous life. If he could make a splash here, that wouldn't be bad either. "If I'm lucky, could I even become a Hollywood star?"

Thinking of things he'd seen on his smartphone before, Matthew Carter suddenly realized that being an actor or a star didn't seem to require much education. It seemed like many Hollywood stars hadn't even finished high school, yet they still made it big. Maybe this was a way out?

Since he was here and facing the current situation, complaining was useless. He might as well adapt as soon as possible.

Just then, the blonde woman turned her head this way, probably having seen Matthew Carter's face through the crack in the door. She smiled slightly and nodded gently.

Matthew Carter nodded back, then glanced at the blonde woman's face.

"Why does she look a bit familiar?"

He closed the door, retreated back into the dressing room, scratched his head, and couldn't remember where or in which Hollywood movie he'd seen her. He simply put it aside and started recalling information about this leading man.

It looked like filming was about to start, so he had to figure out what they were shooting. If he couldn't even figure that out, he'd just waste this great opportunity as the leading man!

He hadn't wanted to think about it, but as soon as he did, Matthew Carter's face instantly turned pale, a fine layer of sweat beading on his forehead and rolling down his cheeks, as if he'd been greatly frightened.
