The update time is still around 9 am and 3 pm, and there have been a lot of things at home recently, so I beg your understanding, thank you for your understanding!)

Compared to a half-man like Helen Herman, Ridley Scott is undoubtedly a standard professional.

"He knows how to use his voice and his body. Ridley Scott's words are still relatively objective, "but the force is too strong, the performance is superficial, and it is still far from enlightenment." ”

Helen Herman nodded slightly.

Ridley Scott added, "You can't see anything in a scene, and there are few good actors in Hollywood who are really enlightened." ”

Unlike the temporary acting, who found a place to rest, Matthew, the absolute protagonist of these scenes, sat in a comfortable high-backed chair, with the makeup artist and an assistant director standing across from him, scrutinizing the newly added scars on his face to find out what might be there.

This can be said to be the most comfortable time Matthew has been on the set these days.

In the actor's temporary rest area, there are special snacks for him to replenish his strength, electrolyte drinks to quench his thirst, and even the crew temporarily assigned him an assistant to help him solve other things besides filming.

Of course, these are only limited to these few scenes, and once the filming is completed, all the treatment is gone.

"I wonder what Russell Crowe will be treated?"

Matthew will be more idle, quite a kind of peasant discussion about the emperor's golden flat dan.

After waiting for a while, the temporary assistant came to inform him that he was going to enter the scene to prepare for the filming of the next scene.

There will be action scenes next, but Matthew is the only real actor, and the camera only captures a close-up shot of him wielding a war hammer, which is why the crew dared to use him temporarily.

Action scenes like that kind of sparring are either filmed by stuntmen or have to go through a period of professional training.

When Matthew arrived on the set, there were already some extras dressed in Roman soldiers' uniforms and acting as barbarians, lying on the ground and serving as the backdrop for filming.

"You take this as the center!" The movement guide who had communicated with Matthew before walked over and gave the final advice, "Don't exceed one meter in the left and right range of motion!"

"Also, haven't you ever used a sledgehammer?" he added, "how you can use the hammer to the fullest!"

"Okay!" Matthew nodded.

Before filming, he heard the action director say that the action scenes of "Gladiator" take a realistic power route, not the pompous style that is prevalent in Hollywood today.

Matthew doesn't understand the likes of qigong and dance skills, but he has fought a lot on the streets, and he is even more old at hammering.

The action director left, and the makeup artist came over to look at it again and confirmed that Matthew's makeup was okay before leaving the set.

Taking advantage of the gap before the start of filming, Matthew looked at it, and only one camera was used for this shooting, which was set up directly opposite him.

The shooting soon began, and when I heard the sound of the scene, Matthew wielded a sledgehammer, as if he was knocking on a few cement pillars horizontally, one on the left and one on the right, the war hammer with the totem was made of resin, but it weighed only five or six catties, but in his hands, it was like a real hammer, whirring with the wind.

There were no "enemies" around, so Matthew could only smash into the air, smashing four or five hammers back and forth, and his tense expression unconsciously relaxed.

After all, someone fighting against someone and no one practicing alone are two different things, plus he is inexperienced......

"Stop!" Ridley Scott shouted at Matthew again, "You're smashing a Roman soldier!

Matthew stopped and took a breath as Ridley Scott shouted, "Reset, reshoot!"

The next shooting did not start to go well, this scene seems simple, but the one-man show, especially this one-man show with close-up and close-up, is not easy to act at all.

Six more NG times later, except for one when the cameraman had a problem with the zoom, the rest was caused by Matthew.

"Ten minutes off!"

Luckily, Ridley Scott was just a little impatient and didn't make a big fuss.

But the extras who got up from the ground looked at Matthew with a little unkind eyes, especially those who played the barbarian soldiers, who were already envious and jealous of him for this opportunity to act, and now because of his question, they had been lying on the wet ground for so long, and it was strange to look at him.

Matthew ignored any of this and returned to the lounge area to sit in a chair, not knowing how to adjust.

"Drink water?" asked the temporary assistant.

"No need. Matthew is not blindly arrogant and is polite to people, "Thank you." ”

The makeup artist walked over and said, "Touch-up!"

Matthew nodded, very cooperative with the makeup artist, who was also very seductive and didn't look like a man.

He doesn't like the girly man in his mother, and even says that he can be very annoying.

Hateful? Matthew suddenly had a little inspiration, hate it......

This bit of inspiration was seized by him and quickly spread in his brain.

In the shooting just now, the problem with NG several times is that he lacks the real ruthlessness when facing a desperate situation in the close-up close-up, not like the kind of person who is dying and struggling.

This feeling is very subjective, and in Matthew's opinion, it is like acting, which is difficult to explain.

Hating this word made him think of a way, when the next time he filmed, could he imagine the air around him as the person who didn't pay him in the first place and the person who threw him in prison for the crime he imposed......

After thinking about it for a while, Matthew felt that there was a certain feasibility, but other than that, he couldn't think of any other way.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and after the temporary assistant came to give notice, Matthew stood again in the middle of a group of lying extras.

This time, unlike the previous shooting, he stimulated all the negative energy he had before, staring at the front, as if the boss who ran away in arrears was right in front of him!

"Let's shoot!"

Hearing this, Matthew picked up his hammer and threw it forward, with an expression of longing to smash people into pulp.

Then, with his hammer in hand, he swept to the left, and in his eyes, the uniform that had taken him was still looking at him with contempt.

Whew-whew-

The wind kept ringing, and Matthew's expression became more and more fierce, as if he wanted to smash the earth under his feet.

"Huh......"

Behind the director's monitor, Ridley Scott saw the close-up of the camera, his white eyebrows suddenly raised, and the performance of the people on the monitor was almost the same as the previous shooting.

The effect now is not very good, but it is much better than the last time, at least it is used on a small role in such a commercial film, there is no problem at all.

Ridley Scott is well-informed, but somewhat curious.

But this curiosity is fleeting, this is a small actor, he will not invest much attention.

Farther from the set, Helen Herman clasped her hands to her chest, with assistant Amanda standing nearby.

Director Scott didn't call it a halt. Amanda said suddenly.

Helen Herman retracted her inquiring gaze and asked, "I asked you to sort out his material yesterday, has he been professionally studied?"

She couldn't remember that clearly.

Amanda said with certainty, "No." ”

"This guy ......" Helen Herman raised a hand to her mouth and coughed, "as if there really was some potential." ”

She decided, "Amanda, prepare a long-term contract when you go back to Los Angeles." ”

In the woods that did not affect the shooting, bald, tall and Michael Sheehan were also paying attention to the shooting on the set.

"No wonder he got such a role. The bald head shook his head, "People have such a ability! Look, look at this crazy energy, do ordinary people perform?"

Gao Yi knocked on his skull and said, "He acted well in these two scenes, and if he can get such an opportunity, he must have the corresponding ability." ”

He looked at Michael Sheehan, "This is your friend, you know him, is that so?"

"Hehe......" Michael Sheehan laughed twice, he had always considered himself a good friend of Matthew, and at this time he could only echo, "It seems like so." ”

The bald head patted his thigh, stood up and said, "That kid seems to be really about to break away from our temporary performance team, with his performance today, it should be no problem to be an ordinary role actor." ”

Michael Sheehan laughed dryly twice more when he suddenly heard Ridley Scott's voice through the megaphone, "Cut!"

"Stop?" he muttered to himself, "Great, made a mistake again!"

"This one is over!"

But then the voice came and made him stunned on the spot.

On the other side, Macon with the round shield stared at Matthew, eager to kill him with a sword-like gaze!

"This bastard who stole my role! He muttered to himself viciously.

There are three scenes with Matthew as the main subject, the first two are the most difficult, both close-ups and close-ups, and the last scene is a scene in which the character is killed by a Roman soldier in the long shot, which is relatively easy.

After a fifteen-minute break, the scene was NG four times, and Matthew finished filming relatively smoothly.

"You can go and remove your makeup. The assistant director told him.

Matthew took a sip of water and saw Helen Herman walking over.

"You go and remove your makeup first. Helen Herman only said one sentence, "I'll go to the makeup team and we'll talk to you later." ”

Matthew first went to the costume group to change back into clothes, and then walked to the makeup team station, many extras who will not be needed next are also going to the makeup team, but they are the same as makeup, and they also need to queue up to remove makeup, Matthew can go directly to the makeup trailer in the morning, and there is a special makeup artist to remove his makeup.

Entering the makeup trailer, the delicate male makeup artist was not there, and the female assistant asked, "I'm going to call him." ”

"No need. ”

Although he vaguely heard that the same sex is popular in this industry, Matthew felt a chill when he thought of the note, and he beckoned to the female assistant, "You can help me." ”

It was troublesome to put on makeup for such a character, and it was also troublesome to remove makeup, and it took a long time for Matthew to regain his original appearance, and the refreshing feeling on his face made him stretch after standing up.

"Thank you. He said politely to the female assistant and stepped out of the makeup trailer.

It was probably too long for him to remove his makeup, and the makeup team was quiet again, and Matthew walked forward for a short time, when he suddenly saw a man in a barbarian costume stopped in front of him, as if he was waiting for him.

Matthew made sure he didn't know the man.
