Chapter 926: Rich in Associations
"I have some news about the last shooting at the shooting range. ”
In between shooting, Matthew found Margot Robbie in the rest room and said, "You're one of the parties. ”
Margot Robbie immediately asked, "Eddie Rolls' verdict has come down?"
"Hmm. Matthew nodded.
At the last trial, both he and Margot Robbie were present, but the court did not pronounce the verdict on the spot.
"Is it a death sentence?" asked Margot Robbie.
Matthew shook his head, "No. He simply explained, "Eddie Rolls' past service in Iraq saved his life. ”
There are many things involved in this, and the punishment is too heavy, which will cause the resentment of some veterans who have psychological trauma after the war, and may cause the resistance of many soldiers who have served abroad, and the punishment that is too light will also lead to the dissatisfaction of many soldiers.
Margot Robbie asked, "It's not just a dozen years, is it?"
"How is that possible?" Matthew has been pressing, he is not an ordinary person after all," Judge Kayson announced the verdict yesterday, and Eddie Rolls sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. ”
Hearing this, Margot Robbie breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. ”
Matthew said calmly, "This matter is over, and the families of Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield have not appealed." ”
If he hadn't intervened, there might not have been such a verdict, Eddie Rolls' defense lawyer sacrificed the super talisman of mental illness, and Eddie Rolls did have certain psychological problems, and had a more serious war psychological trauma, if he really had the money to hire a super lawyer team, the sentence might be lighter than this.
However, Eddie Rolls himself firmly pleaded guilty.
No one knows what this veteran thinks, crying bitterly after being arrested, and regretting what he has done.
In addition, he apologized several times for the shooting of Chad Littlefield.
The jury ultimately did not accept the lawyer's plea of "insanity" for Eddie Rolls, finding Eddie Rolls' shooting murder, which under California law allows a suspect to be guilty even if he is mentally ill, as long as he understands that what he did was wrong.
Also, two prominent psychologists testified in court that Eddie Laws's performance was not mentally ill from a legal point of view.
In the end, the court ruled that "it was not a mental disorder, it was just a cold, calculating murder".
Matthew was basically happy with the result, at least Eddie Rolls had turned it over on his side.
The impact of this on Chris Kyle, who previously co-founded a foundation that provides physical rehabilitation, personal training, psychotherapy and other services to traumatized veterans.
Now, Chris Kyle has no intention of doing this job again, and the Foundation exists in name only.
From a professional point of view, someone like Chris Kyle is not suitable for a similar job in counseling.
"That's for the best. Margot Robbie then added, "I don't have to worry about Eddie Rolls' release from prison in the future." ”
She didn't seem to be joking, and said directly, "It's not a good thing to be remembered by a veteran who has retired from the battlefield. ”
Matthew nodded slightly, "yes, so I won't let him come out again." ”
A staff member of the crew came over and informed the two of them to prepare for filming.
Matthew puts on a gown jacket and the costumer assists Margot Robbie in putting on the headscarf for her wedding dress in preparation for filming the scene where Chris Kyle and Taya Kyle get married.
Ten minutes later, Matthew and Margot Robbie stepped out of the cabin that served as a lounge and onto the deck of the ship.
This is a decommissioned warship of the U.S. Army, and after a simple repair, it happens to be a wedding hall for naval soldiers.
Director Clint Eastwood enters the set of a simple wedding and says to Matthew and Margot Robbie, who are dressed in gowns, "You two relax, we're not going to shoot a full wedding." ”
He coughed in a low voice, and then said, "The wedding is all simple, and the footage to be shot below is also the two of you dancing, and the scene will not be recorded, but you have to say something and keep communicating." ”
Matthew and Margot Robbie both nodded slightly.
The two came under the flower gate, and with Clint Eastwood's order, filming soon began.
The melodious music sounded, Matthew led Margot Robbie out of the flower gate, dancing to the accompaniment of music, the man was handsome, the woman was beautiful, it looked like a match made in heaven.
This scene is shot from a distance, the camera will not zoom in, and the script does not write the lines of the hero and heroine, but director Clint Eastwood asked the two to communicate, and they must say something.
Matthew looked at Margot Robbie and said, "You're so beautiful today." ”
Margot Robbie followed the requirements of the shooting, with a sweet smile on her face, "Every woman in a wedding dress is the most beautiful." She said softly, "I didn't expect that the first time I wore a wedding dress was filming." ”
Matthew looked serious, "This is also my first time as a groom." ”
"Oh?" Margot Robbie asked, curiously, directly, "weren't you engaged?"
Matthew's answer was not embarrassing at all, "Engagement is not marriage." ”
Besides, that engagement was actually fake as well.
Margot Robbie accidentally stepped on Matthew's foot and quickly said, "Sorry, I'm not good at dancing." ”
Matthew continued to maintain the happiness on his face and whispered, "I also danced badly. Instead, he asked, "What are you best at? horseback riding?"
"Hmm. Margot Robbie admitted, "I'm pretty good at horseback riding. ”
Matthew continued to whisper, "Actually, there is a look that suits you better, more beautiful than now. ”
Any woman is incredibly enthusiastic about this, and Margot Robbie is no exception, immediately asking, "What look?"
"Tie your long hair into a double ponytail. Matthew looked at Margot Robbie's blonde hair with a headband, "dyed her hair white blonde, with two ponytails dyed pink one and the other white...... Well, yes, there should be eyeshadow corresponding to the ponytail on both eyes, a heart is drawn under the eye on the right, the makeup is blue and pink super thick smoke, and it also has its own blending effect, and the most recognizable thing in the shape is the big red lips that have always existed. ”
Margot Robbie couldn't think of the ghost, so she asked, "What are you talking about?"
Matthew didn't answer, but said to himself, "Let me imagine that there should still be!" He paused and added, "a skinny white T-shirt with holes in it, and a baseball bat that says 'Good Night.'" ”
Margot Robbie was completely confused, the smile on her face was sweet, but the person who asked the question was puzzled, "Matthew, what are you thinking?"
"Fun. Matthew said deliberately, "Why don't we go with us at the next Hollywood parade? ”
is still filming, he can't compare, he can only move his mouth, "Character, be a little crazy, a little stubborn, both good and evil, there is always a wonderful charm that people can't help but take a look at." ”
Margot Robbie gradually heard something, "Are you talking about a character?"
Matthew neither admitted nor denied it, and continued, "When we go to the parade, your cosplay character, how nice it is to bring a bat, and you can blow people's heads if you don't agree with each other. ”
Margot Robbie put it bluntly, "What you're saying is so bad to imagine, I can only imagine a circus clown, or a female clown." ”
Matthew whispered, "You have a lot of associations. ”
"Shall we go on a parade dressed as two clowns?" asked Margot Robbie in a low voice, "aren't you afraid of making gossip headlines?"
She still had something to say, "I forgot, you've never been afraid of that. ”
Matthew then said, "Just kidding. Before the Oscars, there will be a women's parade in Hollywood, and I'll go to it, you ...... For the sake of future development, it is best to participate as well. ”
Margot Robbie was just straight, but not stupid, and said, "I understand, feminist movement, right?"
"yes. Matthew said lightly, "This is the trend." ”
"Stop!"
Director Clint Eastwood's voice rang out, "This one is over. ”
He said to Matthew and Margot Robbie, "Good!
The music stopped, and Matthew also let go of Margot Robbie, who didn't leave the set immediately, but said, "Thank you for the reminder." ”
Matthew shook his head slightly, "Nothing." ”
The two left the set and went back to their respective resting places, and ten minutes later, the shooting started again, it was still this wedding scene, but unlike just now, this time the shooting was a close-up, and Matthew and Margot Robbie had to follow the scene setting.
probably because of the tacit understanding after a long time of shooting, the wedding scene was filmed very smoothly, and almost all the shots were completed in one day.
When Matthew and Margot Robbie stood in front of the flower gate and kissed each other, there was a round of applause on the deck, and all the footage of the wedding was filmed.
Subsequently, the crew went to a residential area in North Hollywood to shoot, and Matthew also had a rare baby to experience the feeling of "father".
Originally, due to the inability to find a suitable baby actor, the crew prepared a rubber baby, but after Matthew saw it, the rubber baby was too fake, and discussed it with Clint Eastwood and vetoed the shooting plan.
He called Helen Herman, who didn't have much effort to find a suitable baby actor.
In this world, there are many parents similar to Macaulay Culkin, and most of the ordinary people who can't wait to send their children to Hollywood are of this type.
If a child star becomes popular, the money he earns is very terrifying, and many people can't earn it after ten years of normal work.
After filming the baby show, all the shots of "American Sniper" were filmed, and the crew moved on to the post-production stage, and Matthew also had time to take care of other aspects of work.
