Chapter 120: Assault Training (Subscription Requested)

"Who?" Matthew was a little curious, there were few people who could be called the common enemies of the three, and he couldn't help asking, "Is it Tom West's devil instructor?"

James McAvoy sat down and shook his head, "No. He looked at Michael Fassbender, "It's Tom Hardy!" His agent got through the relationship with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and through an internal audition, he got a small supporting role. ”

Michael Fassbender frowned slightly, "Internal auditions?"

"yes. James McAvoy said, "I've heard that Tom Hardy's experience in 'Band of Brothers' played a big role in the audition. ”

Matthew said what he knew, "Director Ridley Scott took over the project from Simon West, the time is tight, all the actors will be produced through internal auditions, this is a war drama based on real events, and even the necessary military training time for actors is compressed, so actors who have recently starred in similar themes will have an advantage in auditions." ”

"Which role did you audition for?" asked James McAvoy.

Matthew shook his head, "It should be Sergeant Hut, if nothing else." ”

James McAvoy confirmed, "That's one of a couple of important roles, much heavier than my role. ”

"Watch Tom Hardy!" reminded Michael Fassbinder, "that guy has always been arrogant and suffered last time with us. James, and Matthew, if you can pass the audition, be careful in the crew. ”

Matthew emphasized, "This is the crew of Ridley Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer, and if the other party doesn't make trouble, we'd better not do anything." ”

Michael FassbinderJames McAvoy nodded, "Matthew is right. ”

He and James McAvoy, despite their youth, are also people with a certain amount of social experience.

"Look at what we're talking about...... "Matthew couldn't help but shake his head, "it's like we've already auditioned for the role." ”

James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender both laughed, with the former asking, "Michael, why don't you try? ”

Michael Fassbender thought about it for a moment, "I'll go back and talk to my agent, but hopefully, my agent is not familiar with Ridley Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer. ”

Matthew and James McAvoy had the opportunity to participate in an internal audition for "Black Hawk Down", and it was all an agent relationship that couldn't help.

The three of them ate the meal until nearly two o'clock in the afternoon, and then left.

Matthew didn't leave Burbank and went to the angel agency to meet Helen Herman, who had already been invited to audition for the crew of "Black Hawk Down", and due to time constraints, the audition was scheduled for Tuesday of the following week.

Helen Herman used the past few days to go to the crew's temporary residence in Pasanady to meet with Ridley Scott, although the actor candidates for some important roles, Jerry Bruckheimer has more say, but Matthew's chances of passing the audition are still relatively high.

In her words, there is a fifty percent chance.

This is definitely a super high chance of passing in the audition of non-star actors in Hollywood.

"Don't let ...... up," Helen Herman specifically advised, in order to prevent Matthew from being careless, "if Jerry Bruckheimer directly vetoes you at the audition, Ridley Scott can't do anything at all." ”

"I know. "How can Matthew be careless, he will only work 10,000 hard," you can rest assured. ”

After talking about the audition for "Black Hawk Down", Helen Herman suddenly changed the subject, "How are you and Britney Spears?"

"That's good. ”

Matthew was a little surprised when Helen Herman asked about things outside of work, "When did you care about things outside of work?"

"Something outside of work?" Helen Herman raised her tone slightly, "Matthew, do you think your private life is something outside of work?"

She showed an inexplicable smile, "For actors, especially star actors, there is no such thing as anything other than work, and private life is also part of work!"

Matthew thought about it for a moment and had to admit that Helen Herman had a point.

"Then you can rest assured. He simply said, "Britney and I are very stable, and we have no plans to expose it for the time being, and no media reporters have noticed it yet." ”

In fact, Matthew knows very well that the main reason why reporters and paparazzi didn't notice the two of them is that he and Britney have met too little.

There's no way around it, both of them are too busy with their work.

Helen Herman was curious, but didn't ask again.

In her mind, a pair of young men and women who are so close to each other and always very far away will break up in a short time, time and distance are definitely emotional killers, how many model couples or couples in Hollywood break up because of this.

Unexpectedly, listening to Matthew's tone, there seems to be a stable relationship between him and Britney.

She glanced at Matthew, and then thought of the rumors about Britney in the agent circle, and couldn't help but silently thought: Maybe two guys with different brains and thinking have a unique way of getting along?

Whether Britney Spears is as rumored to be less emotionally intelligent and more stupid in everyday life, she can't be sure, but Matthew is a ......

Sometimes, she really wants to knock Matthew's head open to see what is in such a despicable and shameless person with a bottom line.

After staying at the angel agency until the end of work, Matthew left to go home, had a simple dinner, found out "Black Hawk Down: A Modern War Story", flipped through it, this documentary report, interviewed many parties, and the content was detailed.

For example, in that operation, although some U.S. troops entered Mogadishu as a United Nations peacekeeping force to complete a humanitarian mission, the Ranger troops carried out a U.S. intervention policy, hoping to weaken the strength of the Adidi military junta by capturing senior Somali military generals, and eventually achieve the goal of overthrowing Adid.

Although he has read the documentary report many times, Matthew is well aware that the documentary report is very different from the script, and "Black Hawk Down: A Modern War Story" can only be used as an important reference.

News from Ridley Scott's bearded assistant Jack, this internal audition looks at the resume and looks second.

Matthew suddenly remembered Hawk Breton, the instructor who had trained him before auditioning Ronald Spears, and quickly took out his mobile phone to rummage through the phone, fortunately his phone number was still there, and to see that it was not too late, he dialed it.

The person who answered the phone over there was none other than Hawk Breton, and Matthew only reported his name, and he remembered the training at that time.

Matthew briefly told him about the current situation, and planned to go to the "Black Hawk Down" crew to audition in the next few days, and hire Hawk Breton to guide him again for a surprise training.

Hawk Breton happened to have time and happily agreed, after all, Matthew paid to hire him, not let him coach for free.

Although he didn't know how much of a role it could play, Matthew in line with the idea of grinding the gun in the next two days, in addition to continuing to study the relevant materials provided by the angel agency, once again borrowed Helen Herman's small farm to start a short-term basic military skills assault training.

Helen Herman also supported his approach, and Matthew also asked her to use a digital camera to take a few photos of the training session.

This assault training lasted until the day before the audition, and even though it was only a few days, Matthew felt like he was back in the same way he was when he was filming Band of Brothers.

The last day of training lasted only half a day, after which Matthew settled the fees with Hawk Breton and left the farm to return to Westwoods, where he cleaned himself up completely, such as cutting his growing hair into a short one, and deliberately growing his beard that he hadn't shaved in a long time to fit Sergeant Hood's image.

Back at the apartment, Matthew turned on the computer and looked it up on the Internet, and through Yahoo's search, he couldn't find any news about the recruitment of actors for "Black Hawk Down", as if the crew's recruitment of actors was only circulating in a specific circle.

The popularity and development of the Internet here is far beyond Matthew's imagination, and it can also allow him to enjoy the convenience brought by the Internet.

Matthew flipped through several movie websites and came to a website that specializes in counting box office, and found that "Gladiator" was released in North America a few days ago, and finally the North American box office stayed at more than $187 million, and the global box office was close to $400 million, and the film's screening in overseas regions was far from over.

Subsequently, he watched several news related to "Gladiator", and learned from the report that the global box office of "Gladiator" has been ranked among the top 40 in the global box office, and it is also a strong contender for the annual box office championship.

These are the differences brought about by the times, and Matthew vaguely remembers that after 2010, it seems that after 2010, movies with a box office of more than a billion dollars often appeared.

Now only one "Titanic" has exceeded a billion dollars at the global box office.

It was getting late, and Matthew was ready to rest early, and before resting, he specially took out the USB drive and uploaded the training photos taken by Helen Herman to his personal blog.

Matthew only uploaded one photo, showing him standing tall and staring into the distance.

"Wait!

Here's the text he attached to the photo.

Today, his blog has five followers, but Elena Boyar is still the only one who has left a message.

After posting this illustrated blog, Matthew turned off his phone and went to bed, woke up on time the next morning, packed himself, talked to Helen Herman on the phone, and drove to Pasanady, a satellite town in Los Angeles, to audition for "Black Hawk Down."
