Some time ago, the shooting in Burbank, a satellite city of Los Angeles, was in an uproar, and it was not reported here that a Hollywood star, in the face of three gun-wielding terrorists, not only was not injured, but almost single-handedly knocked the terrorists to the ground, which shocked countless people.

It's not that there are no action stars in China, but media practitioners know very well that the most famous action stars are just shows.

How many can be like Matthew Horner, who can unleash a thunderous blow when he is in danger and take down three gun-wielding terrorists in just a few tens of seconds?

Isn't Matthew Horner afraid?

"I'm afraid, I'm scared to death. Matthew said calmly, "How many people would not be afraid of the threat of death?"

He smiled and said, "I have been in contact with many soldiers because of the filming, many of them have been on the battlefield, and they told me that even veterans are afraid of death. Because it's human instinct. ”

Hearing Matthew say this, the reporters and the audience not only did not disdain, but felt that he was very real.

For the vast majority of people, who is not afraid of death?

Matthew continued, "I'm just an ordinary person, and for the sake of shooting, I have been practicing free fighting all year round, and I have also trained against professional fighters, so my level is okay. Also, I'm a member of a firearms club in Los Angeles, and although I haven't bought a firearm, I have a legal license to carry a gun and often practice shooting. ”

He shrugged slightly, "Even so, I'm still scared in the face of three terrorists with guns. ”

Audiences and reporters feel more and more that this Hollywood action superstar is completely different from the group of action players in China, and those people are very bullish one by one, as if they can fight in reality like a movie.

Matthew pointed to his chest, "Because I've practiced shooting, I know that no part of my body can withstand a bullet." ”

When these words were spoken, the audience agreed from the bottom of their hearts, although there were some somatic somatics, but people with a clear head knew that whether it was kung fu or free fighting, it was useless in front of hot weapons.

"Then why did you stand up and fight back?" the reporter asked curiously.

"Because I'm afraid of death!" Matthew is still selling real characters, "I'm afraid of pain, I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid of losing everything I have now, so I have to fight back." ”

He said solemnly, "I was facing a desperate situation, if I didn't fight back, I could only die, but Lady Luck favored me, and I survived." ”

Someone under the rostrum suddenly stood up, didn't use the microphone, and shouted loudly, "I don't think that's the case, it's a long-term hard training that ensures that you can become a winner!"

"Yes!"

"That's it!"

There was a chorus of echo among the general audience and the students of the academy.

Everyone knows that ordinary people can't do anything to fight back in the face of that kind of situation.

The reporter asked, "Mr. Horner, do they have a point?"

Matthew smiled, "There's an element to that. Still, he emphasized, "The main thing is that I'm lucky." ”

In this country, you must be humble, so that you can win recognition more than.

Sure enough, there were more voices supporting him under the rostrum, and it was not until Chen Datou, the host, spoke out that the auditorium gradually quieted down.

Matthew watched what was happening, and he was getting closer and closer to achieving his goal this time.

The questions continued, and then it was time for fans and ordinary viewers to ask questions, and Chen Datou casually ordered a medium-sized fan among ordinary fans.

"In the movie, you are very skilled, we watched the video of the shootout, and you knocked down a terrorist with lightning speed, which was very shocking. The male fan said a lot before asking, "Matthew, have you ever practiced kung fu?"

Matthew shook his head slowly, "No, I practice free fighting. ”

The male fan said, "We have a lot of kung fu masters here, will you ask them for advice?"

"Look at the time. Matthew smiled, "I want to learn kung fu too." ”

He used the word "study" rather than "asking", which can lead to too much ambiguity.

Matthew has been practicing kickboxing for a long time, and he actually wants to compete with others, but just think about it, after all, whether he wins or loses, he is a loser.

If he loses, his reputation will be discredited, and if he wins, it is estimated that the recognition he has won will immediately disappear without a trace, and he will directly become the public enemy of the whole people.

He came here to open up the market, not to let a market close its doors to him.

The second person to stand up and ask questions was a student from the film school, who seemed to be a student of the acting department.

"Hello, Matthew. The student introduced himself first, "I'm Lin Yuan, a student at the Film Academy. ”

Matthew smiled and nodded, "Hello, Lin Yuan-san." ”

The student named Lin Yuan asked, "I've read a lot of reports about Hollywood, which say that before the male and female lead actors play some roles, they will spend a lot of time experiencing the real life of the characters, such as you, many reports say that you will participate in military training when filming military themes, and you will start training months in advance when shooting action movies, is this true?"

"There must be. Matthew said casually, "This is the most basic, I guess you have similar courses in your studies." ”

"Hmm. Lin Yuan responded.

Matthew added, "When I was filming 'Band of Brothers,' I trained for more than a month, practicing crawling in muddy water in the winter. Filming "Black Hawk Down", I practiced rappelling ......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "In the last two years, the situation has been much better, and I won't spend a few more months training specifically for the character's action scenes or gunfight scenes." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, under the rostrum, someone whispered to the person next to him, "The coffee position is big, don't work hard." ”

Matthew couldn't hear what the people below were saying, and he didn't care what they said, "Because I regarded combat training and shooting training as a routine exercise like running every morning, I entered the action type of crew, and there was no action director who asked me to spend a lot of time training." ”

He said very fan, "To be honest, in fact, the audience should not know the experience behind the actors, which may affect the audience's psychology of watching the movie." These are just what the actors themselves should do, and they are also the most basic. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yuan was the first to applaud, and then more people began to applaud, and the auditorium once again erupted in warm applause.

"These are the most basic things for a real actor. The older teacher clapped and said, "This is a good actor." ”

The younger teacher answered, "There is a cause before there is an effect." It's not for nothing that Matthew Horner has gotten to where he is today. The path of an actor like him will only get better and better. ”

Chen Datou's eyes drifted over Matthew's face, and after working together for a while, she could see that this guy from the other side of the Pacific Ocean not only knows the situation here very well, but also seems to have a high emotional intelligence.

Answering questions always unconsciously brings people's thoughts to their rhythm, so that people can have a sense of identity.

The Hollywood stars she'd seen before weren't that smart.

It may not be accurate to say that it is smart, but to be exact, those Hollywood stars do not pay as much attention to this side as he does.

"Go ahead. Matthew reminded softly.

Chen Datou smiled, and then ordered an ordinary fan to ask a question.

This fan is about twenty years old, wears a pair of black-framed glasses, and looks very ordinary.

But the questions he asked were not ordinary.

"Matthew, I'm your fan, since you starred in "Gladiator", I've seen all the works you have participated in so far. The question he asked was quite amazing, "Now there are unspoken rules in the entertainment industry circulating on the Internet here, and if you understand it a little rationally, you can know that this is real." ”

It seemed that a staff member was about to go over and grab the microphone, and this person suddenly sped up his speech, "May I ask if Hollywood also has unspoken rules?"

This question is so sensitive that even Matthew didn't expect someone to ask such a question directly.

The eyes of reporters and spectators were focused on Matthew, as if to see what he had to say.

"You don't have to answer. Chen Datou's mouth moved slightly, and he reminded in a mosquito-like voice, "Say you don't understand the meaning of this word." ”

Matthew remained silent, and he had already thought of the answer after a while.

Since it was a public meeting, and someone asked a question, and he had a suitable answer, then it was answered.

"I see what you mean. Matthew said seriously, "I don't know here, just talk about Hollywood, Hollywood has such a situation." ”

This kind of thing, many Hollywood stars have said publicly, but they never name names, so he just said roughly, "Hollywood's production companies and important departments of the crew are occupied by men, men occupy an absolute dominant position, and women's status is relatively low, resulting in a serious imbalance in resources and development opportunities." ”

The audience and reporters in the auditorium didn't expect that Matthew would really answer, so they were a little surprised, after all, those people in China never responded positively.

"Actually, it's not just Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Matthew began to bring his own rhythm, "in all walks of life, and even in society as a whole. In North America, where there is office politics and business circles have the secrets of business circles, women always face more threats and injustices than men. ”

A lot of people are nodding their heads because the reality is.

Only a few people realize that the topic has been taken to another side by Matthew.

Matthew was affectionate and serious, saying, "Women's social status and power have not been given due attention, and if we want to put an end to some rules that should not exist, as a person in modern society, regardless of gender, we should have the responsibility to promote the development of the affirmative action movement and do our best to do a little shameful work for gender equality." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Chen Datou was the first to applaud, and all the women under the rostrum applauded, and then more people applauded.

The older teacher couldn't help but applaud and sigh, "This person is really very extraordinary." ”

The younger teacher was convinced that although there was no affirmative action movement here, there was also a saying that women could hold up half the sky, and Matthew Horner deftly led a sensitive issue to a topic whose values are extremely correct on both sides of the Pacific, which is both quick and understanding.
