The huge studio was busy, everyone was busy with their work in an orderly manner under the coordination of Zack Schneider, Matthew put on a big red cloak, stepped on the green ground, and slowly walked in front of all the Spartan warriors.

Filming has already begun, and according to Zach Schneider's plan, most of the first shots will be war scenes between the Spartans and the Persians.

Just as Matthew stood in front of the thirty or so actors who played the Spartan warriors, most of the crew's eyes turned away.

"Isn't it, that's too much, isn't it?"

On the outside of the set, Eva Green, like most people, unconsciously followed Matthew's eyes downward, and the bulging ball looked a little amazing.

There was no filming of her scene today, but because it was the crew's start of filming, and then there were media activities, she came back from France yesterday, and the jet lag had not yet adjusted, so she came to the studio.

Eva Green suddenly remembered that from several actresses who had relationships with Matthew in the circle, there were some rumors that Matthew Horner's size and ability were quite amazing, and it was worth it to him once, even if he died......

That's an exaggeration, but it's just as exaggerated today as you can see through the dark red leggings.

Eva Green shook her head gently, Matthew was already red and purple, fans are all over the United States, it is estimated that when this film is released, not to mention the plot and content, just his current appearance is estimated to make countless female fans crazy, right?

On the set, the makeup artist came over and handed a resin helmet to Matthew, who looked at the same dark red helmet and put it on his head.

"Wait, Matthew. The make-up artist immediately stepped forward and carefully arranged his fake beard for him.

Since the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Coffin", Matthew has not shaved his beard, and his full beard is the standard for European and American costume epics most of the time, and his daily makeup, a considerable part of the time, is used to paste the fake beard.

After a brief tidying up with the makeup artist, he said, "Okay." ”

Then, he quit the set.

More than thirty actors stand in front of the camera lens in a tight array, surrounded by green screens.

Matthew had previously communicated with Zack Schneider that not only would all the shots be shot in the green-screen location in this studio, but all the background images would be CGI, except for the background of the wheat field.

It is no exaggeration to say that this film is all fake except for the actors.

Zack Snyder walked into the set at this point, walked directly to Matthew, and said, "Our collaboration is starting again. ”

Matthew smiled, but didn't speak.

"This scene should express the indomitable momentum of the Spartans. Zack Schneider finally told Matthew, "Shout out all the lines!"

"No problem. Matthew nodded.

Zack Schneider walked out of the set and said to his assistant, "Let's start shooting." ”

The assistant director immediately put the sign in front of the camera lens and shouted, "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, the first scene, the first act, start now!"

The crew immediately started filming, and the camera lens was also aimed at Matthew, who was at the forefront of the team.

"We're here to stop the damned Persians!"

Matthew held a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, and his face exposed outside his helmet was fierce, and his gaze seemed to kill people, "We are here to fight them!"

His voice was loud and confident, "We're here to destroy them!"

Then, the actor next to him, who played the centurion, shouted, "Today, let all the Persians die under our shields!"

More than 30 actors raised their spears at the same time and shouted, "Huha!"

Matthew suddenly turned his head and looked behind him, and a camera spun over to capture a close-up of his face.

"Warriors, remember today!" he said, his voice low but unusually firm, "for it will be with you for the rest of your life!"

"Stop!" Zack Schneider's voice rang out, "The first one has passed!"

He then said loudly, "Don't move, shoot the second one in five minutes." ”

With that, Zack Schneider pressed the playback button on the director's monitor and revisited the footage he had just shot, which was the pre-war mobilization of King Leonidas of Sparta and the standard for all Hollywood epics.

This is also Matthew's one-man show, the focus of the camera is always on him, and the other actors have all done background blurring.

Matthew's form is clearly very good, and this shot is over all at once.

Zack Snyder watched the replay again, this time more carefully, he had worked with Matthew on "Dawn of the Living Dead" and had a certain level of understanding about him, and after watching this replay, he came to a conclusion that compared to the filming of "Dawn of the Living Dead", Matthew's acting skills have obviously improved.

Although the helmet covers half of Matthew's face, in the close-up, Matthew's angry eyes and well-defined face are full of drama, and even the teeth exposed by the wide mouth give people a sharp feeling of a Spartan warrior, which appropriately interprets Leonidas's strong momentum.

He has a good relationship with Matthew and knows that he is not a very talented actor, and he will do a lot of preparation work before every filming, and this time the filming of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" is obviously very well prepared.

Among Hollywood actors, Matthew's acting skills are definitely at an average level.

It's not hard for Zack Schneider to make such a judgment.

The five-minute time passed quickly, and Zack Schneider put those thoughts aside for a moment and gave notice to start filming again.

In front of the camera, Matthew yelled, "Array!"

All the actors, according to the situation during the training, raised their shields and spears in unison, and pointed their spears forward.

In order to achieve such an effect, in the past two months, these actors, including Matthew, have undergone a lot of relevant training.

Of course, the protagonist of this scene is still only Matthew.

"Persians!" Matthew's roar was deafening, "if you want a Spartan weapon, come and get it yourself!"

The rail-mounted camera glides in front of the array, and the camera falls on Matthew's face.

Matthew roared again, "Warriors, use all your strength to take everything the Persians have!" He looked straight ahead with sharp eyes, "Kill all the enemies!

This is the end of the shot, and as soon as Matthew's voice falls, the camera slides to the side.

Zack Schneider stood up from behind the camera and said, "Okay!

The first two shots were shot so smoothly that he had not expected before, and the next step was to shoot the melee footage of the Spartans and the Persian army, and the venue had to be adjusted appropriately.

Zack Schneider added, "The actors take a half-hour break, the set team adjusts the venue, and the camera position is re-erected!"

Hearing this, Matthew first handed the shield and spear to the crew assistant who came over, and then took off the resin helmet that looked very similar to metal, and walked towards the resting place.

James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, who were also dressed as him, followed, and the three of them went to the rest together.

After Matthew sat down, he first took the glass of water handed by Bella Anderson, bit the straw and took a big sip.

James McAvoy leaned over and whispered, "No wonder the women who are with you are always full of praise for you, it turns out that there really is a reason." ”

Matthew cocked his thumb and pointed at Michael Fassbinder, "You're talking about Michael." ”

Bella Anderson suddenly coughed under his breath, and James McAvoy turned his head to look at her, took the initiative to change the subject, and asked, "Why do historians and academics hold the Battle of Hot Springs in such high esteem?"

"Three hundred heavily armed Spartan warriors, including the Spartan king Leonidas, all died heroically in order to cut off the whole army, and none of them surrendered. Matthew said the widely circulated answer, "So, they became recognized heroes, and by the standards of modern society, they are all real heroes." ”

What the actual situation is, he also does not know, according to some, history loses its truth from the moment it happens.

"It's more than that. Michael Fassbender seems to have a different view, saying, "Because the battle of the three hundred warriors at Thermopylae gave the Greeks time to gather their strength and drain the Persians' spirits, so that in the end the Greeks defeated the Persian invasion." ”

Matthew and James McAvoy both looked at Michael Fassbender, and even Bella Anderson looked at him curiously, and none of them quite understood what Michael Fassbender meant.

Michael Fassbender continued, "You should know that ancient Greece was a city-state, which was a form of democracy, and of course this democracy has many flaws today, such as the death of Socrates. But there is no doubt that this city-state system is the prototype and origin of Western democracy, and Greece was saved from extinction, which has never allowed Western democracy to rise, and Persia at that time was extremely authoritarian, not democratic. ”

"And that kind of statement?" Matthew shook his head, "is this your own nonsense?"

Michael Fassbender spreads his hands, "That's a way of saying it in academia. "The Greco-Persian Wars, including the Battle of Thermopay, the rivalry between East and West, autocracy and freedom, between Iranian Zoroastrianism and the free and diverse polytheistic beliefs of Greece." ”

Matthew sighed, "So, the Western ones are all excellent?"

Michael Fassbender shrugged.

Matthew didn't say anything more, after being here for a few years, how could he not know that from the film industry to the academic world, the West always has some inexplicable superiority over the East.

Filming soon began again, and the set became chaotic, and the shooting of action scenes was even more difficult.
