Chapter 82: Resignation
(Ask for favorites and recommended tickets!)
Arriving at the restaurant, Matthew leaned over to Michael Fassbender and asked, "How are they?"
"Nothing is a big deal. Michael Fassbender has been in the infirmary for the longest time, "just take two injections of drugs that relax your muscles and separate them." ”
He couldn't help laughing again, "It is estimated that they have no face to stay in the crew, and the crew will not sit idly by." ”
Matthew nodded, lowered his voice, and said, "That's why you asked James to call for help?"
Michael Fassbender didn't deny, "Don't forget, our goal is to get Tom West, huh...... And Kate Jeffrey. He stretched and said, "I don't have to train those perverted devils anymore, I feel comfortable all over my body." ”
"It would have been better to go back and stay at the hotel. ”
Everyone likes a comfortable life, and Matthew is no exception, "It's so uncomfortable to live in this cold old barracks." ”
Michael Fassbender ignored Matthew's words and instead asked, "How do you feel? ”
"Let's put it this way...... Matthew didn't hide his feelings, "Since I joined the crew, today is my coolest day!"
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
There was a problem with the military instructor, the training of Matthew and these actors was temporarily suspended, and when it will resume will be notified by the crew, the crew does not want the situation to expand, and gives everyone a gag order, this kind of thing no one suspects anything, after all, all kinds of problems caused by cheating are too common in Hollywood.
According to information provided by James McAvoy, Gary Goldman, who was in charge of Hatfield Airport, also went to see it later, but after listening to the report of the assistant producer who led Matthew and Michael Fassbender to the warehouse, he didn't even enter the infirmary, and just ordered to keep a low profile and left.
According to the assistant producer, it's okay for the two to cheat, and even Gary Gozman can't laugh or cry when they make such a mess.
After noon, calculating the imminent arrival of the garbage truck, Matthew quietly went to the locker room and disposed of the remaining materials in his closet and Tom West's box of condoms.
He took the ones he had moved around and put the other box he had prepared in advance, which had the exact same production date and the remaining quantity, and put it in Tom West's cabinet, so that the other party would not pass through the condom and might find some clues.
The day after the incident, news came that James McAvoy, who was half a snake, had resigned from the crew and that Tom West and Kate Jeffrey had resigned from the crew, and the crew had promoted the assistant producer to take Kate Jeffrey's place, and was also preparing to have the deputy of the military instructors who trained the main actors such as Damian Lewis as instructors for their actors.
That instructor trained in a very different way than Tom West.
No one cares about Tom West and Kate Jeffrey, who have left the crew, and both have great expectations for the remaining half a month of training.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Gary Gozman called a meeting of all the actors on the training ground to announce a man named David Hatts as the new military instructor.
He will not only be responsible for training the more than 20 character actors, but will also serve as a military director during filming.
After taking office, he was similar to what Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy expected, almost completely rejecting Tom West's training plan to train soldiers, canceling all weight-bearing cross-country and replacing it with a regular three-mile run once a day, and vetoing all the fucking plans of rolling mud puddles and sleeping on hard grounds.
In the words of David Harts, they are just actors, as long as they can act like a soldier, there is no need to become a soldier at all.
David Hatts has worked in Hollywood for several years, and his training philosophy for actors is very different from Tom West, who has just come out of the army.
Of course, David Hatts is undoubtedly more popular.
To put it bluntly, this is Hollywood, not the British Royal Marines, after all.
Matthew and the others also successfully left the old and damp barracks dormitory at Hatfield Airport and moved back to the hotel where they were staying.
After this experience, Matthew's relationship with Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy has become closer, the three are about the same age, almost a few years old, come from different countries, and have no direct competition, and often go to the bar together for a drink when they are okay after training.
"I've always found it weird. Michael Fassbender picked up his glass, took a sip of beer, and said to Matthew and James McAvoy, "Why did we plan to deal with Tom West, and they had an accident? This accident not only got Tom West out of the crew, but Kate Jeffrey's annoying woman left." ”
James McAvoy burped, "Isn't that bad?"
"Good is good. Michael Fassbender looked puzzled, "but it was too much of a coincidence." ”
Matthew held up his beer glass, "What do you want to do, they're all gone, what we're going to do is celebrate." ”
He raised his glass, as did Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy, and after the three of them clinked glasses, they drank the rest of the wine in their glasses.
"I think ......," Michael Fassbender hasn't given up yet, "maybe Kate Jeffrey has too many people to blame, and this is someone specifically targeting her, and Tom West is just affected by her." ”
James McAvoy nodded, "It's possible." ”
Matthew was beckoning the bartender to serve them three more beers.
Michael Fassbender suddenly turned his head and said to Matthew, "You also had a conflict with Kate Jeffrey, right?"
"Do you suspect I did it?" Matthew wouldn't be stupid enough to admit it, shrugging his shoulders and saying, "Kate Jeffrey is unlucky and I'm happy, but she suddenly ......"
He couldn't find the right adjective for a while, and said cheekily, "Inexplicably becoming like that, if someone deliberately manipulated her, it is not something that ordinary people can do." ”
James McAvoy glanced at Matthew, "It's definitely not Matthew, this guy, if it weren't for us pushing away, would definitely continue to endure it." ”
Michael Fassbender patted Matthew on the arm, stopped asking, and changed the subject, "After training, we have a vacation, are you interested in hanging out together for a few days?"
"Okay!" intrigued James McAvoy, "where?"
Matthew shook his head, "I can't go, I'm going back to North America, and the agent has a lot of things to deal with." ”
"Are you going to see your girlfriend?" said Michael Fassbender deliberately, "I see you make several phone calls a day." ”
"yes. Matthew doesn't deny it, either, "She's so busy with work that we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
Although I talk to Britney on the phone every day, because of the time difference and work, it is difficult for the two to talk for a few minutes at a time.
Britney is preparing for a concert that will kick off early next year, and it is impossible to travel to the UK to see him, so Matthew has to use the holidays to go back to see her.
The three of them finished each with a beer and left the bar, after all, they had to continue training tomorrow.
The training for the shoot was already in the final stages, and since Tom West left the crew, Matthew's training volume has been reduced instantly, except for some basic tactical training, and the training of new instructor David Harci has focused on the use of weapons and tactical coordination.
In the last ten days of training, Matthew and the others not only in training, but also in life were commensurate with the names of their respective roles, learning a lot of basic military knowledge every day, and mastering how to use weapons, melee skills, individual tactics and the code language and sign language signals of the army during World War II.
Several actors, such as Matthew, not only knew these combat skills well, but gradually entered the role, mastering how to use weapons proficiently, and he could even skillfully disassemble and assemble M-1 Garand rifles and Thompson submachine guns.
Unlike Tom West's physically torturous training, David Hatch is more about instilling a philosophy in the actors' training, so that Matthew and others can understand as much as possible what makes a good soldier.
He asked the actors to think like a soldier, but it is really difficult to really become such a person, it is absolutely impossible to accomplish any task in the military with the strength of one person alone, team spirit is the fundamental guarantee of victory, if a teammate is in trouble, then others must stop and help him.
It's hard for people who haven't experienced the battlefield to understand this feeling, but the unimplemented plan planned by Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy brought the actors closer to each other emotionally, so at the end of the training, more than 20 character actors, including Matthew, looked really good as a whole.
By mid-December, the training was finally over, and the crew gave all the participants a vacation longer than Matthew and Michael Fassbender had anticipated, and lasted until the Christmas break, after which the series would officially move to filming.
Matthew, like most American actors, chose to return to North America, this time not only to visit Britney, but also Helen Herman had spoken to him on the phone, and some of the actor's business also needed to be handled.
Taking the ticket ordered by the crew, as soon as he left Los Angeles International Airport, he first called Helen Herman, agreed to meet at the angel agency tomorrow morning, and then dialed Britney's number, probably during rehearsal, no one answered for the time being, so he had to send her a text message to tell her that she had disembarked.
After hailing a taxi, Matthew returned to his rented apartment in Westwood, where he received a reply from Britney Spears on the way, agreeing to see him in the evening.
