Hearing Helen Herman's words, Matthew immediately thought of the news he had read in the newspaper before, he participated in the "Soul Shifter" and won several nominations such as the Oscar for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, and the crew will definitely go to the red carpet of the Oscars next month.
Could it be that Helen Herman communicated with that side again?
Thinking of this, Matthew was full of anticipation and quickly asked, "Is it "Soul Shifting Girl"?"
"What are you thinking?" Helen Herman roughly guessed, "I was talking about the movie premiere red carpet, not the Oscar red carpet!"
Matthew's heart was full of Oscars, and he couldn't help but laugh dryly.
Helen Herman simply said, "I'm with Jack from the Gladiator crew...... It was the producer with the longer beard who talked to him and basically made sure that you could attend the North American premiere of the film. ”
"Okay!" Matthew didn't hide his excitement, "Gladiator" is a super commercial production with an investment of more than $100 million, and the premiere must have attracted much attention, he instantly threw "Soul Shifter" and the Oscars behind, and asked, "When?"
"End of April!" Helen Herman was clearly ready, "I'll negotiate with the crew of 'Band of Brothers' before I go back to Los Angeles, and you don't have to worry about scheduling." ”
Matthew nodded, "That's the best." ”
Helen Herman added, "I talked to Eric Polk on the phone, and the Band of Brothers crew might have a media conference in the near future where he would try to make you one of the actors being interviewed. She looked at her watch and stood up, "You have to cooperate with him if he needs it, he doesn't have the final say in this matter." ”
Finally, he advised, "In case it is feasible, be cautious when accepting media interviews, don't talk nonsense, and be sure to cooperate with the crew." ”
"Rest assured. Matthew assured, "I know what's important. ”
Helen Herman is leaving, "I'm going to Warner Bros. Studios in London right now, and I'll text you if there's something going on." ”
After sending off the agent, Matthew finished breakfast, did not prepare to go out again, simply returned to his room, slept again, and spent the rest of the time reading books and newspapers.
The next day, filming resumed, and Matthew was busy again.
Due to the relationship between the director and the filming location, the director of the crew was changed to David Frankl, and most of the filming was also the content of episodes 7 and 9.
Then, Matthew saw Tom Hardy on set, and there were several rival scenes between the two.
"I didn't expect us to meet again. Tom Hardy seems to have just gotten a haircut, and the short stubble with a slightly arrogant expression makes him look domineering, "We'll play together." ”
He leaned closer, "I'll steal all the show!"
Next up are some scenes from Episode 9, where Matthew's character, Ronald Spears, has been promoted to the fourth commander of Company E, and Tom Hardy, the recruit, is his orderly.
Matthew just nodded slightly, and didn't say anything, this person didn't make a good impression on him.
He took off his steel helmet, handed it to an assistant on the crew, picked up a Chicago typewriter, picked up the silver tray of props, and walked to the door of the studio to start shooting.
Tom Hardy pursed his lips in disdain, walked past Matthew, and entered the door.
An actress also entered the set, and unlike Matthew, who was dressed in a military uniform, the blonde actress was only wrapped in pajamas.
This is one of the few passion scenes in the whole script.
However, the actor is not Matthew, but Tom Hardy.
"That girl is beautiful......"
On the outside of the set, many onlookers were watching the heroine, and Michael Fassbender was no exception, asking James McAvoy, "Are you well-informed and know where she came from?"
James McAvoy clasped his hands to his chest and looked over there, "You have a crush on her, Michael?"
Michael Fassbender scratched his chin and asked, "Don't you think she's pretty?"
"That's because you've been on the crew for too long!" James McAvoy pouted, "The crew is full of men, and after staying for a long time, even Whoopi Goldenberg will be a beauty!"
"Where did you get all this nonsense!" Michael Fassbender tapped him the shoulder, "Do you know where she came from?"
From the beginning of November last year to the present in February, after spending so long in a crew that is almost all men, many male actors are restless in their hearts and bodies.
"Seems to be called Elizabeth Kuster. "James McAvoy is indeed well-informed," a British actor just starting out in the industry. ”
Michael Fassbender looked at the actress's slender figure under her pajamas, "I knew that there was such an actress, and I would have fought to be Matthew's orderly." ”
"Attention departments!" said director David Frankl's voice, "filming will begin in five minutes." ”
The actress hurried into the door, and Matthew got a signal from the director in the camera position across from him to close the door, but there was no wall on one side of the built room, and he could still see inside.
The two actors took off their clothes generously, the woman just stripped naked, and Tom Hardy stripped them all naked.
Matthew is not a rookie, he knows very well that this is a common thing in the actor industry, and it is difficult to ask the crew to clear the scene before reaching the level of a star actor.
For example, the current Tom Hardy and the blonde actress can be said to be filming this passion scene in full view.
Tom Hardy and the blonde actress undressed and lay on top of the bed.
"Episode 9, Scene 4, Act 1 ......" the scene reporter shouted, "Start now!"
Tom Hardy and the blonde actress in the room immediately moved, some indescribable voices sounded on the set, and Matthew stood two meters away from the door with a prop tray, waiting for instructions from the assistant director.
The assistant director gestured to this side, but the camera camera did not turn, and Matthew, walking slightly faster than usual, walked to the door and pushed the door open, only to see Tom Hardy roll over and get out of bed, revealing himself and the actress Bai Huahua's bodies.
Matthew didn't squint and was fully into Ronald Spears, with Tom Hardy standing in front of him and giving a military salute......
However, his face was still the same as that of Matthew before the shooting, with a faint sense of arrogance and disdain.
"Stop!" director David Frankel shouted to stop filming and said to Tom Hardy, "Your expression is wrong!"
Matthew moved his shoulders and glanced at the blonde actress, who had probably been a little long in a crew that was almost all men, and felt that this actress was not bad.
The actress seemed to notice Matthew and nodded at him in her pajamas.
Matthew also nodded slightly, but it was limited to that, he subconsciously went to see the actress, but it was just an instinctive reaction.
"Tom Hardy!" David Frankel pointed out Tom Hardy's mistakes, "You are an orderly, just the attitude of the orderlies towards the officer?"
With that as soon as he said that, David Frankl commanded, "Go back!"
Matthew pulled out the door and closed the door, leaving Tom Hardy and the blonde actress lying on top of the bed again.
Filming soon started again and was stopped again by the director in the same place!
Tom Hardy's character has a big close-up shot of Ronald Spears, played by Matthew, when he just came in.
David Frankl pointed at Tom Hardy and said, "Your facial expressions and attitude!"
Tom Hardy nodded, turned his head to look at Matthew, his eyebrows instantly twisted into a ball, the bastard mixed with Michael Fassbender......
Before the thought in his head could be formed, he saw Matthew on the other side shaking his head and exiting the door, as if he was very disdainful of him.
Tom Hardy's brow furrowed even tighter, and once again a more obvious arrogance appeared on his face.
has not been in this industry for a long time, and there is no way to talk about smart acting skills and the like, Tom Hardy has been called to stop by director David Frankl several times later because of the same mistakes.
Matthew is also quite helpless, because of an expression, continuous NG, Tom Hardy, who is about the same age as him, seems to have a bit of a problem with his mentality, but he doesn't say much, this is the director's job, and a small actor shouldn't interject.
Several times when filming was interrupted because of the same problem, David Frankel got angry and yelled at Tom Hardy, "What are you thinking!" He pointed at Matthew and said loudly, "He's your boss! A company commander with many rumors! He sees you stealing fun, what attitude should you use to face him? Why do I see arrogance in the camera?"
"I'm sorry. Tom Hardy looked at the director's eyes with a hint of anger, but endured it, after all, he was not a fool, and quickly swore and said, "I promise, there will be no next time." ”
David Frankl yelled, "Reset! Three minutes later!"
Filming resumed, and Matthew continued to maintain the grim expression of the Iron Blood, pushing open the door and walking in, Tom Hardy rolled over and got out of bed, and immediately saluted Matthew after standing up......
"Stop!" the anger in David Frankl's words could be heard by anyone, "Damn! What are you thinking! Don't you know how to respect? Don't you know that a recruit should respect his superiors? Don't you think it's a little shameful to be seen in such a situation?"
He is also a relatively experienced director, and he can vaguely see that there is something wrong with this actor's mentality.
It was a very simple shot, he had expected to shoot it in fifteen minutes, but now it's almost an hour.
David Frankl was patient and continued to direct the crew to shoot, but then stopped filming six times in a row because of the same problem, and Tom Hardy's performance became worse and worse, and he couldn't even complete the most basic self-adjustment.
"Damn!" his anger burned almost completely, "do you know how to act?"
This actor is simply an amateur level, what is the Central School of Drama in London doing?
Tom Hardy is also a little angry, he obviously behaves very naturally, but the director always says that he has a problem......
David Frankl suppressed his anger, called the producer Eric Bock over and whispered, "Replace him! This kind of actor doesn't know how to act! He can't adjust himself! It's too amateurish! He's supposed to be in the backdrop of the street!"
Eric Pock hurriedly shook his head, "That's ...... Not good. ”
