The filming of the crew continued, but after Matthew finished the battlefield scene, he no longer had to play a temporary role in the background color for the time being, and according to the crew's notice, he came to the press room closest to the main entrance of Hatfield Airport, ready to be interviewed by media reporters with three other actors.

The night before, the press officer of the crew had communicated with them enough to focus on what not to say.

At this point, Matthew will not mess around, and will definitely act according to the requirements of the crew.

The three actors interviewed with him, whom Matthew was not familiar with, but only knew each other, were all the main actors who were training with Damian Lewis.

Among the role actors, only Matthew came.

Under the leadership of the press officer of the crew, as soon as the four of them entered the press room, the warm atmosphere came to their faces, with countless flashing lights on, accompanied by the chaotic sound of pressing the shutter.

Although heavyweights like Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg were not present at this press conference, the appearance of four people, Damian Lewis and Matthew, still attracted the attention of media reporters.

In particular, they are wearing the paratrooper uniforms of the 101st Airborne Division during World War II.

This is also an important activity in the early publicity and promotion of the crew.

After the four actors, including Matthew, stood together for a group photo, they were assigned by the press officer to four different areas of the press room to interact directly with media reporters.

Compared to others, Damian Lewis is the most famous actor, plus the legendary soldier Captain Richard Winster, he has the most media reporters gathered on his side.

The other two main actors are well-known in the industry, but they are also unfamiliar faces to media reporters, and they are not even as familiar as Matthew, most of the people present are entertainment reporters, and some people immediately recognize this as the MV actor who once had an affair with Britney Spears.

So, apart from Damian Lewis, Matthew has the second-most reporters around him.

This situation was completely unexpected by the press officer, and he quickly sent one of his most experienced assistants to Matthew's side, taking advantage of the fact that the media reporters did not ask questions, so that the young actor could say something that he should not have said under the group of media reporters.

"Don't talk nonsense. The middle-aged assistant stood behind Matthew and reminded in a low voice, "If you have difficult questions, wait for me to prompt you to answer." ”

Matthew didn't speak, but nodded cautiously.

Then, a large number of reporters poured over, but fortunately, there were staff to maintain order, and the scene was not very chaotic.

"You are limited to one question per person!" the staff member exclaimed, "think of the question before asking Mr. Matthew Horner!"

The first questions were asked by the cooperative media on the crew's side, and the two sides had communicated with each other before.

"Mr. Horner!" asked a reporter with a Warner TV tag on his chest, "and it is said that you went through rigorous training before filming began?"

"Yes!" Matthew grimly looked like he was playing Ronald Spears in the filming, like a real soldier, "We had to know all about combat skills, we had to learn how to use weapons, we slept in the open, and we practiced a five-mile march with 40-pound equipment......

These are all carefully prepared statements after Matthew communicated with the crew, and although they are all fake, they are said very fluently, "At a certain stage of training, you can only sleep 3 hours a day, and you can't sleep at all, because in the tent you will shiver with cold." But after all this, I have a strong sense of accomplishment. ”

What media reporters and audiences want to see, the crew will prepare what they will promote, rather than what the facts are, and what the crew will promote.

Matthew has experienced several crews and vaguely understands this, and he is not resistant to telling lies, which is the actor's job.

"Training brings the actors closer to each other!" he continued to ramble as the crew asked, "so when we actually started filming, the relationship between us and us held us together, like a real brotherhood!"

Behind him, the middle-aged assistant couldn't help but bow slightly, the crew will only communicate with the actors about their specific intentions, and will not completely formulate the lines and answers to the questions, otherwise it will be too fake, and many times the actors will need to play on the spot.

This little actor, Matthew Horner, did a pretty good job, much better than he expected.

In fact, Matthew went back to do a lot of work after attending the press officer's communication meeting last night, so it can be said that he came prepared.

Although he still lacks experience in dealing with the media, he has the backing of the crew, and he will not be nervous.

Another reporter from Warner's Empire magazine asked, "May you ask, which character do you play?"

Matthew is still a soldier," said Ronald Spears, the fourth commander of E Company. ”

A reporter from Entertainment Weekly then asked, "Do you have any special feelings and experiences during the shooting?

The three reporters were all from the same group of media as HBO, and the questions they asked were not only polite, but also very suitable for the crew's promotional needs.

Matthew thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Before, I had never experienced that sudden feeling of adrenaline, but now I have experienced it. Because as soon as the shooting started, the whole shooting location was in chaos, people kept falling, and bombs exploded one after another near you, I can imagine the soldiers falling in droves in the rain of bullets, our eyes were full of fear, we knew that it was not true, but because of that, we were really afraid, how did the soldiers survive back then?"

"And!" he added, "the friendship of comrades-in-arms in war must be condensed into a force to defeat the enemy, and brotherhood is above all else. ”

After speaking, he subconsciously glanced back, and found that the middle-aged news assistant gave him a thumbs up in a covert way, and immediately calmed down.

The middle-aged news assistant put away his thumb and watched Matthew continue to deal with reporters, nodding his head, when he just saw this young actor last night, he still wondered why the production team chose such a non-main actor to participate in the press conference, and now it seems that the production team is fully prepared, this actor named Matthew Horner talks nonsense, no worse than them who are professionally engaged in news and public relations.

He suddenly had an idea that if this actor can't go through the path of being an actor, he can actually become a press officer or a professional media public relations officer, and he is completely competent.

Matthew understands the preciousness of opportunities, for a character actor of his level, such news in front of many media will be hard to find, and now that he has the opportunity, of course, he has to do his best, whether it is this cold military costume or the answer to every question, he has been prepared before.

In Helen Herman's words, every appearance in the media represents a credential that could potentially play a role in the next role race.

The interview continues, but the problem is gradually drifting away from the series and characters, after all, many reporters come because they recognize Matthew as Britney's ex-rumored boyfriend.

As a result, questioning inevitably shifts to gossip.

"Mr. Matthew Horner!"

A reporter from a well-known tabloid asked aloud, "Do you know Britney Spears?

Matthew turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged news assistant, who shook his head slightly, and he immediately said, "Sorry, I don't answer questions that are not related to this show." ”

The crew immediately ordered another reporter, who was the reporter the crew had communicated with, and asked questions related to "Band of Brothers".

The interview lasted for more than half an hour, and at the end of the interview, Matthew, at the request of the reporter, posed a few cold military poss, allowing the reporter to take pictures.

His facial lines are tough, his facial features are three-dimensional, he is tall, his momentum is calm, affectionate and cold, no matter what aspect he shoots, he looks like a tough soldier!

"The crew is really good at picking actors...... faintly there is also a reporter's discussion, "such an actor is born a soldier." ”

Another chimed in, "It's just a shame that he doesn't go to the army." ”

Matthew's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart, he complained about the reporter a hundred times: Joining the army?

The interview ended smoothly, the reporter gradually dispersed, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief, and the middle-aged assistant stepped forward and whispered, "Good job!"

Matthew smiled at him, how hard it was to deal with these reporters, only he knew.

The middle-aged assistant beckoned, "Let's go." ”

He knew he wasn't playing any role at all, and the actor called Matthew Horner handled it very well.

The four actors gathered and asked the reporter to take a photo, and the news media meeting ended.

Subsequently, Matthew continued to devote himself to filming, Ronald Spears had a limited role, and most of the filming, he acted as an extra, but he did not relax in the slightest, for a person who has just entered the industry for a year, any appearance in the camera is an extremely rare experience.

During the filming of the "Band of Brothers" crew, Matthew spent the first anniversary of coming here, and in a year's time, he went from a person who had almost nothing and even had problems with accommodation and food to a character actor who successfully entered Hollywood and solved basic life problems.

He summed up himself relatively successfully, at least the current road is going up, not down.

Of course, this is still far, far from the goal of Hollywood stars.

Matthew's filming at Hatfield Airport continued into April, and in late April, all Ronald Spears scenes were over and ready to return to North America.

Leaving the crew this time, if there is no big accident, he will not come back, and he will go back to prepare for the red carpet of the premiere of "Gladiator"!

Helen Herman won this opportunity, Matthew will certainly not waste it, and he is very much looking forward to walking this kind of red carpet for the first time.
