All the scenes in the morning took the Scorpion King as the protagonist, and the shooting went smoothly, most of the shots passed once or twice, and the planned work was ended before eleven o'clock, the crew took a temporary break, reassembled after lunch, and filmed the Scorpion King's scene.

However, unlike in the morning, the scenes filmed in the afternoon are mainly close-ups of the Scorpion King.

Again, the filming went smoothly, with Stephen Sommers directing the crew to shoot four shots from one to two and a half o'clock, three of which were shot in one go, and the most one was only four shots.

The crew took a break and Stephen Sommos sat behind the director's monitor and continued to watch the finished footage.

I've seen all the shots once, he's in a good mood, the progress of today's shooting is beyond imagination, I thought that there were new actors in the group, and it would be good to be able to complete half of the plan, but I didn't expect this Matthew Horner to perform so well, and he was caught off guard.

"Being able to have such a state can only show that ...... "Stephen Sommers is not a novice, but an experienced director," and Matthew Horner has prepared enough for the role and is suitable for this type of role in its own right. ”

He sighed, this Matthew Horner's acting skills can only be said to be average, but his temperament and physical condition are extremely compatible with the role of the Scorpion King, as if he was born to play this type of role.

Suddenly, Stephen Sommers thought of what he saw on his resume, Matthew Horner had played tough warrior-type characters in "Gladiator" directed by Ridley Scott, and "Band of Brothers" executive produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

It shouldn't be a coincidence that both crews chose him to play this type of role, right?

What would happen to the filming if it were replaced by Dwayne Johnson today? Stephen Sommers couldn't help but have this thought, and immediately had the answer in his heart, one has no one who has never acted in a physical role, and the other who has a good body but has a lot of experience in playing this kind of role......

Stephen Sommers stopped thinking about it, got up and walked around the set, working for an hour and a half straight, he was also a little tired, most of the people on the set were resting, or taking some special ways to relax, the studio was quiet, only one place was heard cheering.

It was a circle of extras, and Stephen Sommers was curious, walked over and took a look, first seeing his action director, and then a man in ancient Egyptian warrior attire – Matthew Horner.

"You're doing a great job!" said the action director to Matthew Horner, who was holding the shield, "yes, that's it!

Stephen Sommers looked across from the action director, and Matthew Horner did a few shield and sword swinging moves, which were not only powerful, but also showed excellent body coordination, much like a trained warrior.

"It's really well done. He nodded.

But the actor over there didn't seem to be satisfied, and said to the action director, "I don't think it's flexible enough." Felipe, can you find a way to make the movements look more flexible?"

Stephen Sommers has been hiding among the extras on the periphery and watching over there.

"Pace, pay attention to your pace!" the words of the action director came again, "Didn't you just have two months of boxing training, take out the pace of your practice!"

After hearing this, Stephen Sommers had a sudden realization, no wonder Matthew Horner was in better shape than before, and it turned out that he went to train for two months after signing the contract.

How many of today's young actors are so serious and dedicated? He couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of most of the young actors he had met.

Stephen Sommos watched for a while, then turned to leave, returned to his director's seat, sat down in his chair, and flipped up the recent shooting plan.

After filming the Scorpion King's human form, and then filming the final ending of the film, he still hasn't decided whether to make the Scorpion King completely in the form of CGI and Matthew Horner's face cutout, or whether to shoot it in the form of actors and green screen special effects composite.

At the beginning, because he was worried that Dwayne Johnson, a novice, would not be able to cope with the filming method of actors and green screens, he planned to directly use CGI to generate the Scorpion King monster form.

But after the Scorpion King audition, this idea began to waver, and judging from today's shooting, Matthew Horner's ability is still okay, should it be shot with actors and green screens? This effect is better and cheaper than pure CGI generation.

In this way, you can save another amount of money to continue to strengthen the special effects production.

Thinking of special effects production, Stephen Sommers frowned slightly, and Matthew Horner has been filming for less than a day, why can he think of all convenience?

Not to mention the shooting, just the funding, using Matthew Horner to play the Scorpion King, saving a million dollars in salary to strengthen the post-production, if you use the actor and green screen shooting, you can save a lot of money.

The action director walked over at this time and said, "Director......"

Stephen Sommers asked, "Something?"

"The next scene was filmed. "The action director said as succinctly as possible," Matthew Horner suggested not using a stuntman and that he do all the action scenes himself. ”

"Can he?" asked Stephen Sommos.

The action director was confident, "I think it's okay, Matthew Horner went through systematic boxing training before coming to the crew, and his body coordination is excellent!"

Stephen Sommers frowned in thought.

The action director suggested, "Why don't you try it?" If the actor shoots it himself, it will be much less troublesome. ”

There were so many things that would be required to use a stunt double, and Stephen Sommers quickly decided, "Okay, let's shoot one first, and if it doesn't work, shoot it as originally planned." ”

The break is over, and shooting begins again.

Many extras stood on the sand in front of the green screen, ready to start fighting, Matthew stood in the middle of the most favorable location for filming, and finally checked the shields and swords in his hands, and the three stuntmen dressed as ancient soldiers were already in place, and when the shooting began, they would rush one after another.

After the crew was ready, the action director gave a thumbs up to Matthew's side, and then shouted, "Go!"

In the quiet studio, the sound of a fight immediately comes to mind, and the extras with the mark of scorpions are "fiercely fighting" with extras in another costume.

The first stuntman attacks Matthew from the flank, and the prop sword in his hand stabs him straight into the body.

According to the pre-set routine, Matthew dodged and smashed down the shield in his hand, the stuntman was experienced, and when the shield was about to hit him, he seemed to be slammed and flew out upside down.

The second stuntman rushed forward, fast and powerful, and Matthew separated his axe with a shield and stabbed it with a sword, and the stuntman fell to the ground.

Then, a third stuntman appeared just in time, and he flew up, and Matthew raised his shield and lifted him away with the force of the stuntman's jump.

Cutting melons and vegetables to kill three enemies, Matthew rushed directly into the extras' battle circle.

"Ka!" the on-camera action director shouted, then looked over to the director's monitor, and saw Stephen Sommers nodding, before shouting, "OK!

Matthew handed the sword to his left hand, walked over to the last stuntman, reached out and pulled him up, and asked, "Are you alright?"

The stuntman moved his shoulder, which seemed to hurt a little, but said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm used to it." ”

"That's good. Matthew smiled too.

He is also friendly to these stuntmen, these people are not easy, and they basically do the most dangerous work of the crew.

Later, there are several more scenes to work with these stuntmen.

He completed this action scene excellently, which also allowed director Stephen Sommers to dispel all doubts, and in the next few action scenes filmed, Matthew did not use a stunt stand-in, all of them were on the stage in person, although there were some problems, but they were not trouble, and the filming of the Scorpion King scene has been going very smoothly.

After two consecutive days of filming, the scene of the Scorpion King's human form was completed at a rate nearly twice as fast as Stephen Sommers' plan.

All of this is inseparable from Matthew's relatively adequate preparation.

Sometimes, when he thinks about it himself, he also feels that it seems to be very suitable for playing this type of role, which mainly sells face, muscles and shows a strong temperament, and the requirements for acting skills are not too high.

After this part of the scene was completed, Stephen Sommers also made up his mind to abandon the plan to use CGI to generate the Scorpion King monster form, and instead use actors and green screen to shoot.

The adjustments he made also needed to be prepared by the crew, and this part of the scene was temporarily postponed and changed to take the lead in filming the male and female leads, but Matthew was not idle, and would come to the studio every day to watch the shooting and the performances of several main actors.

During this time, Matthew made full use of his strengths, not only getting to know the main cast members of the cast such as Brand Frazier, Rachel Weisz and Arnold Vosroux, but also gradually getting to know them.

may be the relationship between those who have starred in "The Mummy" together, and the atmosphere of the actors in this crew is relatively harmonious.

Therefore, Matthew will always show his best side, and gradually establish a good reputation among the crew.

Ten days later, the Scorpion King's role resumed, and it was also the filming of the finale of the film, and after the filming of this part of the scene was completed, Matthew could leave the crew, and the others would then rush to Morocco to continue to experience life in the African desert.

As before, the shooting of Matthew's shots was basically smooth, and because he had been in the crew, he maintained his condition very well, and his dedication has won the praise of many people.

Even Stephen Sommers' senses for him are changing.
