"You're back just in time, Matthew. Michael Cullitz stretched out his hand to greet Matthew and said, "James has done a special investigation based on the clues you provided, Tom West and Kate Jeffrey must have had a tryst in that warehouse, and more than once!"
Matthew put away his backpack and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Get rid of Tom West!" Michael Fassbender said directly to Matthew, "and get a new instructor on the crew." ”
James McAvoy added, "We met Damian Lewis today, and their training was more tactical and weapon-oriented, and there were similar military trainings, but their instructors were veterans who had been in the film and television industry for many years, not newcomers like Tom West, and the instructor said there was no need for such rigorous training, just understanding, and a lot of things could be adjusted in the actual shooting." ”
"We can give Gary Gozman advice. Matthew pulled out a chair and sat down, "No need to ......"
Michael Fassbender shook his head directly, "There is a liquidated damages clause in the contract signed by the crew with Tom West, and if Tom West does not breach the contract, the crew will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages if he is dismissed casually." ”
Matthew frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Let him resign on his own initiative!" James McAvoy sniffled, and Matthew noticed that his nose was red, and asked, "You have a cold?"
James McAvoy nodded, "Hmm. So, even if it's for our bodies, let Tom West fuck off. ”
Michael Fassbender sang and sang with him, "This series could make us stars in the spotlight, do you want to be replaced by someone else because of your illness?"
"No!" Michael Kulitz shook his head, "never!"
Matthew shrugged his shoulders and deliberately reminded, "Four people aren't enough. ”
"Who said there were only four?" James McAvoy was confident, "I've been to other people's dorms before I came, and they're all in favor of letting Tom West fuck off, and support us unconditionally on this!"
He looked at Matthew, "We've got Kate Jeffrey in mind! Matthew, don't you want her to look good? You're not going to put up with it, are you?"
"I'm not the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!" Matthew spat out.
"That's good......," James McAvoy pinched his reddened nose as if in a military coup, "I'm going to gather everyone tonight, and I've got a preliminary idea with Fassbinder, let's talk about it together." ”
Subsequently, James McAvoy and Michael Cullitz left one after the other.
Matthew didn't mention his plans until they left, and now that Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy are the masterminds, he's just slipping away, and there is room for mitigation if something happens.
As for the experiments to do, wait until you know the plans of James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to see if you can act in the shadows.
In this way, there is also cover.
That night, more than two dozen actors who hated the devil instructor came together to form an offensive and defensive alliance, also expressing their approval of James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender's plan with silence.
In fact, Matthew guessed that many people should think similar to him, anyway, the matter was led by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, if something really happened, the crew would also settle accounts with these two people first, and it was impossible to fire all the more than 20 actors for one instructor.
However, in Matthew's mind, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender must have some basis for daring to do so, and their plans do have a chance of success.
Training began again, Tom West still trained the actors as recruits, regardless of complaints, Matthew observed him for a long time, and gradually had some speculations about him.
Tom West should do this for several reasons, first of all, because of his personality, because he had just been discharged from the army, because of inertia, and because he wanted to do his job conscientiously and responsibly.
There is also a possibility, that is, when he can't catch his handle, he did it deliberately, and other people were involved......
But Matthew felt that this was less likely.
The actors endured for another three days, but these three days were not idle, and James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender confirmed a number of things according to the clues provided by Matthew, the most crucial of which was that Tom West and Kate Jeffrey had a soft spot for warehouses, especially those where weapons and props were stored, and would use their lunch break to meet there every few days.
And Matthew further confirmed that the two meet very regularly, and they are all once every two days.
In addition, he entered Tom West's locker room several times and found that the box of condoms was still there, and the number was reduced.
On the first day of confirming the possibility of James McAvoy and Michael Fassbinder's move, Matthew left the dormitory building where the locker room was located, returned again, put on rubber gloves and touched Tom West's locker room, opened the backpack he was carrying, took out the prepared equipment, took the box of condoms, and injected the wind oil essence into the front of the condom's bag with a small medical syringe as in the previous experiment, and sealed the tiny pinhole with instant adhesive of the same color.
He took a closer look, and if he didn't look closely at the light source, he could hardly see anything unusual on the bag.
Matthew's biggest concern was the smell, after all, the smell of wind oil essence was stronger, and although he mixed in some liquid essence, he couldn't completely cover it.
Fortunately, there are also plans by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, and even if they fail, the two will not be happy.
He then filled the front of each condom bag with wind oil essence, sealed the pinholes with instant adhesive, and put them back in their original places.
Matthew made sure he didn't leave any traces and left the locker room.
Back in the barracks dormitory, Michael Fassbender, who had gone to consult with James McAvoy, had not yet returned, he looked at the time and dialed Britney's phone.
"Hi Matthew. ”
Hearing Britney's voice, Matthew's heart, which had been restless because of revenge, quieted down a little and said, "Rehearsal finished?"
"No...... Britney seemed worried, "The producer was very dissatisfied with the performance of one of my songs, and asked me to step up my practice, I've been too busy lately, and we have a time difference between the two sides, so it's not convenient to talk on the phone." ”
Matthew had no choice but to comfort, "When the filming is over and you finish the tour, we will have time." ”
"Hmm!" Britney was in a slightly better mood, "and we'll go on vacation together!"
Then, she began to mumble again, "This is my first concert, and I can't lip-sync, the record company is very strict, and I have to sing along with the live acoustics at worst." ”
"I believe in you, Boo. Matthew cheered her on, "You're going to do your best!"
He had heard Britney Spears sing, and frankly, there was a big gap between the original singing and the records recorded in the studio.
However, according to Britney, this is basically the norm for pop singers, and few actors can sing live like a record.
The recording is assisted by a variety of equipment, and each singer is a master of singing.
As for concert lip-p-synching, in the extremely competitive music industry, once exposed, the negative impact is too great.
The two chatted for a few minutes, and Britney's side was about to start work again, and Matthew took the initiative to hang up.
Putting away his mobile phone, he sat in front of the window, reading today's newspaper, even though the training is extremely hard now, as long as the conditions allow, he still maintains the habit of reading.
It would be sad if an actor couldn't even read a script with a bit of depth.
After reading a copy of The Times, the dorm door was pushed open from the outside, and Michael Fassbender walked in, who went straight to Matthew's side, dragged another chair, and sat next to Matthew.
"Tomorrow our plans may begin. Michael Fassbender said in a low voice, "As is customary, Tom West and Kate Jeffrey are likely to meet at the warehouse tomorrow at noon. ”
His voice was lowered, "I contacted the assistant producer who brought you over, he has been bullied by Kate Jeffrey since he joined the group, and he will cooperate with us ......"
Matthew nodded, but didn't say anything, like a little minion, following the orders of the big boss Michael Fassbinder.
As the night wore on, the lights went out one after another, and the whole building was unusually quiet, and everything was no different from before.
The next day, the rigors continued, the actors practiced running in a single curve, and several staggered foxholes were dug on the training ground, and according to Tom West's requirements, each actor had to skillfully move between the foxholes, and it was strictly forbidden to run in a straight line.
The performance of the actors is no different from the past, and those who can be selected to play important roles in this crew must pass the most basic acting skills.
At the end of the morning's training, Tom West, as usual, left on his own, but the actors were different, and many of the paratrooper uniforms suddenly showed wear or tear holes.
The group first went to the restaurant for dinner, and were notified by the watchman, and at the suggestion of Michael Fassbinder, they went to the assistant producer in charge of their group of actors and asked for a change of costume.
The assistant producer, who had brought Matthew and other North American actors to the airport, checked their clothes, took a few more photos for filing, and took them out of the office building and walked towards the warehouse where the clothes were stored.
Matthew was mixed in with the cast and never said a word, and he didn't need to do anything now, just waiting for Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy to launch.
