The studio was set up as a small military base, with two armored vehicles and several off-road military vehicles parked in the middle of the field, each with several heavily armed soldiers standing next to them.

Next to the armored car at the head, Matthew skillfully put on gloves and an automatic rifle on his back under the camera lens, and turned around and walked towards the front of the convoy.

The main camera keeps moving with him, sliding on the slide, the camera firmly focused on his figure.

At a forty-five degree angle on the same side, there is also a camera that is always capturing a close-up of Matthew's face, as if everything in the audience is serving him.

This is the treatment of the absolute protagonist of the crew.

"Stand upright!"

Seeing Matthew coming, one of the captains immediately shouted loudly, and then all the soldiers on the side of the convoy instantly straightened up.

Matthew came to the middle of the convoy, stopped, turned to face his soldiers, and said, "Take a break." ”

The soldiers put their hands behind their backs, their eyes focused on Matthew, waiting for his lecture.

"For this mission, NATO needs the best of the best, so it found us. His voice was not loud, but it was unusually loud, "Our target is terrorists who are hiding two hundred and eighty-five kilometers away, they have heavy firepower in their hands, and this operation is a covert raid!"

He swept his gaze over everyone's faces, and then said, "The dense fog in the mountains is so dense that helicopters cannot provide air assistance, so we will arrive at the outskirts of the mountains by car, walk eight kilometers of mountain roads, and attack at four o'clock tomorrow morning!"

The soldiers had solemn expressions and firm eyes.

Matthew nodded, "Squad, prepare in the last ten minutes, disband now, and leave in ten minutes!"

Then, Matthew packed his weapon, opened the door of the middle car, and sat in the passenger seat, and his deputy also got into the car and sat in the driver's seat.

"This time the enemy is very strong. Matthew said to the driver's seat, "John, don't take it lightly. ”

John nodded, and then started the military vehicle, and the engine roared, and then Stephen Sommers's voice came over the loudspeaker, "This one is over!"

Matthew pushed the car door and got out of the car, took the gloves and handed them to the crew assistant next to him, in Los Angeles in October, wearing training gloves, sweating easily.

"Transition!" shouted Stephen Sommers again, "now move to Field 2! Shoot will start in half an hour!"

Field 2 was on the far left of the studio, and Matthew took the Duke's weapons and equipment and walked towards that side.

Because the whole film designed a lot of battle scenes, for the sake of filming site construction, the crew specially chose the Hughes Aircraft Factory from the hangar converted from the large studio as the interior filming location.

From the beginning of this year to the present, the staff of "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra" has built more than 160 sets in several hangar studios at the Hughes Aircraft Plant in just over half a year, including a huge urban battle floor, a special forces submarine, and a missile silo at the Armaments Research and Development Center.

The Special Forces Underground Base is the most breathtaking setting, with several floors including an urban combat zone, an undersea war zone, a command center, labyrinthine corridors, medical rooms, recreation rooms, and even an elevator that lifts planes to the ground.

The most amazing thing is that it all works, there is a light switch on the wall, and the light will come on when you turn it on.

This is arguably one of the greatest things about the film industry.

Therefore, the difficulty of shooting a sci-fi action movie is many times greater than that of an art film.

Matthew enters the set, and action director Craig Henderson brings him and lead actress Sienna Miller together.

Seeing Sienna Miller in a black tight leather suit, Matthew nodded to her, and Sienna Miller also nodded in response, the two had not dealt with each other before in this film, but after two weeks of pre-training and rehearsals, the two are relatively familiar.

Craig Henderson first familiarized the two of them with the move, and then said, "Matthew, your raid ended in failure, and you were the only one in the team to fight their way out, and this scene was designed to highlight your strong individual force. ”

Matthew didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

This is the opening scene of the whole film, as an action sci-fi type film, a hot action scene at the beginning is a must, the general plot is that the squad he led accepted the order to raid the terrorists, but because of the betrayal of the insiders, he was surrounded and annihilated by dozens of times the enemy, although the squad killed and injured several times the enemy of their own, but these unusual terrorists were equipped with very powerful weapons, and only the Duke was able to break out of the encirclement.

Here, of course, the duke meets the heroine, the Baroness, and the two are old lovers.

Regardless of the plot of the action scene, or the relationship between the hero and heroine, there is nothing commendable, and the plot content is absolutely cliché.

This is also the result of what Matthew and Stephen Sommers have requested.

Stephen Sommers, in particular, has returned to the most successful routine mode after experiencing the failure of "Van Helsing's monster fusion innovation".

"Sienna ......," Craig Henderson said, turning to Sienna Miller again, "In addition to the points of movement I said when I moved, there is another thing you have to remember that you have to keep a cold face all the time, like a killing machine. ”

"I understand. Sienna Miller said.

Craig Henderson nodded to Matthew and Sienna Miller and turned to leave.

Matthew took the guns and other weapons from his assistant, put them on with the help of a makeup artist, and walked towards the entrance to the terrorist base.

His character filming started there, and Sienna Miller didn't follow, the Baroness was the terrorist commander of the ambush, and the initial filming location was inside the base.

In this scene, of course, the priority shooting is Matthew's scene, and director Stephen Sommers is at the door to direct the setting of the venue.

Ten minutes later, everything was ready, and the assistant director called to start.

In an instant, gunshots rang out, with the occasional explosion, and fire and smoke appeared one after another.

Matthew quickly rushed into the gate of the base, and after a tactical roll, he raised his gun and aimed forward to shoot, the muzzle of the assault rifle flashed flames, and a terrorist on the opposite side fell down, he then dodged behind a pillar, and then flashed out from the other side of the pillar, as if he had opened a plug-in, and shot again, and another terrorist was killed.

John from the rear also followed into the gate of the base, Matthew turned his head to take a look, and made a few tactical gestures to John's side one after another, and John immediately whispered to a few people around him, "Let's outflank us in a roundabout way!"

"Cover!"

Matthew shouted loudly and rolled out from behind the pillar, raising his gun and firing repeatedly, and the nearby soldiers also fired automatically, attracting the attention of the terrorists in front so that John's team could outflank him.

The gunfire and explosions intensified, and Matthew shouted again, "Grenade! Two shots at eleven o'clock!"

Immediately, two soldiers successively used the grenade launcher suspended from the gun, and at eleven o'clock the gunpowder planted by the crew exploded, and the rumbling explosion was heard in the light of the fire.

"Stop!"

In this case, Stephen Sommers will definitely use a megaphone to direct the shooting, "This is over! ”

The rest of the shoot began to fragment, consisting of two or three second short shots, also used to show Matthew's leadership skills and strong personal force.

Although the number is small, these ordinary terrorists are not at all the opponents of the elite squad.

However, the battle was destined to end with the defeat of the Duke's squad, and when John's squad succeeded in a roundabout way and was about to annihilate the terrorists, a larger team of terrorists suddenly came out under the command of the Baroness and changed the tide of the battle.

The battle scene was filmed for four days before it came to an end.

In the final closing scene, Matthew tries to reassemble the entire team, but is powerless in the face of an enemy who is superior in numbers and weaponry.

"He's brilliant, isn't he?"

On the outside of the set, Lorenzo Bonaventura, a producer from Paramount Pictures, told Hasbro CEO Brian Goldno, "The skill, acting, professionalism and dedication are among the best people in this circle." ”

Brian Godnow said, "Doesn't it look like acting?"

Lorenzo Bonaventura smiled, "Brian, stop dwelling on that. He pointed to Matthew, who was holding a dagger and brought down a Cobra soldier, and said, "I know, you are unhappy with Matthew's request to change the script and use his character as the absolute protagonist, but have you thought about how much benefit his role can bring?"

Brian Goldnow didn't speak.

"The story of "Superman Hancock" can be a big hit, why can it be a big hit?" Lorenzo Bonaventura didn't need Brian Godno to answer, and said directly, "Just because the actor is Matthew Horner!"

He emphasized, "Let's put it this way, even if the story is worse than 'Superman Hancock' for All, a film starring Matthew Horner can be a big hit! As long as he appears on the screen, he can attract millions or even tens of millions of viewers to buy tickets, and make the work have a huge impact." ”

"But ......," Brian Godnow said, "putting too much emphasis on the Duke role is not good for our merch sales." ”

Lorenzo Bonaventura waved his hand, "We're going to build a whole series, and if Matthew can bring success to the first part, we will have the possibility of serialization." ”

Brian Goldnow didn't say anything more.

At the end of the day's shooting, Matthew returns to Horner Manor under the escort of bodyguards, but he is not idle in the evenings and needs to deal with other aspects of work, such as the progress of "Twilight" and "Fast and Furious 4", such as some emails.

On an email from Bella Anderson, he saw the name The Hunger Games.
