Chapter 65: Intentional or Unintentional

(Recommended Ticket!Recommended Ticket!)

September was fast approaching, and on the day of the audition, Matthew got up early, called a taxi, and arrived at Warner Studios in Burbank an hour early, and after meeting Helen Herman, they entered the studio where the "Band of Brothers" crew was located, ready to participate in the upcoming role makeup audition.

Coming to the modeling room and waiting for a while, Matthew found that they were not the first to come, and there were already many male actors sitting on the benches in the corridor, some like him, who were also accompanied by his agent.

"Wait a minute. Helen Herman found a bench and sat down, "You're the fifth." ”

Relationships within the rules can sometimes provide a lot of convenience, and Eric Pock gave them some proper audition information beforehand.

Matthew sat next to Helen Herman and waited, a little impatient in his heart, this role is not only about future development, but also about immediate benefits.

The Los Angeles District Court has approved Wilson's attorney's out-of-court settlement and is currently in contact with the company behind the cast of Taboo Tarot, which would require a large sum of money if a settlement is reached.

The remuneration for this role can allow him to completely get rid of the trouble of default.

Matthew's mentality has changed compared to the past, he has a desperate desire for this role, and even it is inevitable, but the decision of this role is in the hands of Tom Hanks, the top big man in the circle, and he and Helen Herman are not controlled by him and Helen Herman at all, and their success or failure is completely up to them.

He will inevitably suffer from gains and losses.

Before the audition began, the styling room began to call the actors to enter, this is an audition with makeup, and each actor has to become a soldier of the 101st Airborne Division before going to the audition room.

Matthew sat upright in his chair, the tension and anxiety between affection becoming more and more obvious.

This is the most fierce competition he has faced since he entered the actor circle, the longest preparation time, and the most unconfident one.

"Nervous?" Helen Herman had been watching Matthew, "it's not like you." ”

Her impression of Matthew is bold, dark-hearted, and thick-skinned, and quite a bit of a teenager and an old man.

"I'm not even twenty years old. Matthew also wanted someone to talk and relax, "I've never experienced such a big scene." ”

Helen Herman then remembered that he was only nineteen years old, and there were not many nineteen-year-old young people who had the heart of Matthew.

Matthew rubbed his face vigorously, feeling his muscles gradually sooth, and then said, "It's much better now." He gave Helen Herman a thumbs up, "As soon as you open your mouth, I relax." ”

"Huh?" Helen Herman didn't understand what he meant.

"You have a natural sense of peace of mind. Matthew deliberately made himself forget his tension and completely relax through nonsense, "It is my most solid support." ”

Helen turned back and stopped paying attention to Matthew, who she could see that Matthew was gradually returning to his normal state.

After relaxing, Matthew no longer sat here, a pair of eyes looked around, there were more than a dozen actors sitting in the corridor at this time, almost all of them had a tough face and a strong body, as long as they dressed up properly, they must be qualified tough guy images.

In terms of appearance alone, none of these more than a dozen people are worse than him.

Matthew was well aware that this audition was different from the previous one, and that he had to come up with more to impress the crew than just the required look.

To be exact, to impress Tom Hanks.

The door to the styling room opened again, and a young man walked out, shouting, "Matthew Horner!

Matthew immediately stood up and raised his hand to gesture, "This way." ”

"Come in!" the young man bowed.

Helen Herman also stood up and nodded to Matthew, "Go ahead, I trust you." ”

Matthew glanced at Helen Herman, said nothing, and followed the young man into the styling room.

This is a huge room, mainly divided into three parts, on the left hand side of the door is a makeup department composed of more than a dozen dressing tables, on the right hand side is a prop cabinet with all kinds of World War II American weapons and equipment, and on the front door of the military uniform hanger and dressing room.

Matthew had known before that it was not only for the audition for the role of Ronald Spears, but also for the other three roles that were a little worse.

Entering the modeling room, Matthew didn't think about anything else, and acted completely according to the crew's arrangement, first followed the young man to the makeup department, sat in front of the makeup mirror, and let a female makeup artist act as a makeup artist, makeup was simpler than imagined, due to the relationship between the audition roles, the makeup artist didn't even put on the base makeup, but according to Matthew's facial contours and facial features, the eyebrows and facial lines were properly trimmed, so that the whole person looked more mature and rougher.

After simply putting on makeup, Matthew went to the opposite side of the entrance of the styling room, and under the guidance of a male costumer, found a well-fitting military uniform, received matching military boots and steel helmets, entered a dressing room, and changed clothes.

Out of the locker room, standing in front of the large mirror at the door, Matthew saw that the clothes were not particularly neat, pulled the hem of the paratrooper uniform, and just wanted to adjust it, the costumer came over.

He said to Matthew, "Let's go, go to the props team first, and after you get the rest of the equipment, I'll help you complete the final look." ”

Matthew nodded, stepped on a pair of thick imitation World War II military training, followed the costume master, came to the many cabinets where the weapons were placed, and received one "weapon and equipment" after another from a prop master.

This is a makeup audition, which means that each actor's outfit at the audition is infinitely close to the actual shooting state.

Matthew was stunned by the amount of equipment he received in the props group, he was not a soldier after all, and it was difficult to understand why an ordinary airborne soldier would carry so much equipment, and why the costumer said that he would complete the styling for him after receiving the equipment.

With the equipment he received, Matthew, led by the costumer, returned to the large makeup mirror, and the costumer stood in front of him first, helping him put on those weapons and equipment from top to bottom.

The costumer is skilled in his work, and has successively hung helmets, scarves, armed belts, grenades, Thompson bullet bags, and pistol bullet bags on the surface of the horse.

He then turned behind Matthew and placed the kettle, grocery bag, pistol, and grenade bag on his back.

"Soldier!" the costumer turned to the horse and motioned for the weapon, "You can get a gun." ”

Matthew grabbed the Chicago typewriter and had previously trained with Hawk Breton, holding the gun in his right hand, the butt tucked under his arm, and the muzzle of the gun tilted down to the ground, one of the most common Thompson tactical moves used by American GIs during World War II.

The costumer took a step back, looked at Matthew's look, came over to straighten his helmet, pulled off the paratrooper uniform, turned to the back and crouched down, and tucked the hem of the paratrooper into the boot.

Matthew always stood in front of the make-up mirror, letting the costumer help him complete the look.

His whole body relaxed, his brain empty, not thinking about where he was, looking at the people in the mirror, thinking of himself as a paratrooper about to go to battle.

Suddenly, Matthew felt that something was wrong behind him, and one of the costumer's hands quickly moved up the trouser leg, and before he could react, he pinched his strong buttocks and pulled the paratrooper pants down.

The next second, Matthew turned around and looked at the costume, who stood up casually, didn't look at Matthew, and said lightly, "Okay." ”

It was as if he was just helping him sort out his pants.

Matthew couldn't figure out whether the costumer was doing it on purpose, or if he was helping him sort out his paratrooper pants, but he had experienced too many hardships and was more defensive, so he couldn't help but hold the Chicago typewriter hard with his right hand, move back with his left hand, grab a prop grenade, and his eyes fell on the costain's smooth and white forehead.

The grenade looks like the real thing, but it's actually plastic, but Matthew has the confidence that the plastic grenade is bleeding the head on the other side.

The costumer seemed to notice something, and pointed to the waiting place at the door, "Go and wait over there, someone will call you to audition." ”

Hearing the audition, Matthew's somewhat impulsive head instantly calmed down, as long as he moved, all the mistakes were his, and this audition would definitely be over.

On top of that, he simply couldn't be sure if the costumer meant it or not.

"Hey......" A man came over at this time, as if he was the person in charge of the modeling room, he pointed to Matthew, and said in a commanding tone, "When it's done, go over there and wait, don't stand here and get in the way!"

Matthew nodded, his left hand was released from the grenade bag on his waist, his right hand gradually relaxed, he glanced at the costumer again, and walked towards the waiting place, he had crawled around in society, he was not a person who was dizzy when his blood was surging, even if he wanted to do something, he had to endure it for the time being.

Even if the costumer did it on purpose, would anyone in the entire styling room testify for him?

If you can't bear it, you can only get out of the crew, and if you are patient for the time being, maybe there will be a day to embarrass the costume artist.

When he came to the waiting area, Matthew didn't sit down, he stood there like a javelin, patiently waiting for someone to tell him to go to the audition.

As the minutes ticked by, auditioners returned, some frustrated, some excited, some calm, but after everyone had removed their makeup, they all quickly left the styling room.

Matthew waited for nearly an hour before an assistant arrived at his name.

The man stood in the doorway of the styling room and shouted, "Is Matthew Horner there?"

Like last time, Matthew raised his hand and gestured, "I'm here." ”

The assistant beckoned to him, "Come with me to audition room five." ”

Matthew didn't say a word, followed the assistant out of the modeling room, through the long hallway, turned left to a door, waited for the assistant to open the door, and walked in with him.

The moment he stepped through the door, Matthew straightened his body, his legs became strong and powerful, and the ten days of assault training made him look like a soldier.

He walked into the audition room, quickly swept his gaze, and then saw the famous Tom Hanks.
