There will be a chapter after 12 o'clock in the evening, prepare for the leaderboard! continue to ask for recommendation votes!)

There was silence all around, with Matthew standing in the middle of the classroom and Rachel McAdams standing two meters away from her, gesturing directly with her hand to the gun and pointing at Matthew's head due to the lack of props.

David Astor's teaching is mainly practical, and it can even be said that it is aimed at the Hollywood film and television industry.

Whether it is the previous dialogue scene and the scene of the dead family, or the kidnapping scene that Matthew and Rachel McAdams are preparing to perform, it is the most common scene in Hollywood movies or TV series.

Matthew and Rachel McAdams get a script that is not complicated, Matthew plays a tough guy whose daughter is kidnapped, and Rachel McAdams is the kidnapper who threatens him.

"Hand over the stuff!" The dimples on Rachel McAdams's face disappeared completely, and the harder facial lines combined with the fine adjustment of the muscles made the whole face look like a vulture, especially the lips were deliberately turned open, revealing two rows of tightly clenched teeth, which brought out a ruthlessness, "Otherwise, your daughter will die!"

For his role, Matthew has thought about it just now, especially after David Aster's narration about the dialogue scene, which is about a tough guy and a kidnapper entangled in language, which is fundamentally a dialogue scene.

Therefore, he can't stand here stupidly like the dialogue in the characters of the Japanese manga, just turning his lips around.

Under normal circumstances, when someone is kidnapped, especially when they are pointed at gunpoint, most people will be frightened, lose control of their emotions, and cry and make a fuss, which is very normal.

But there are some scenes and some characters, and it can't be like this.

For example, his current role is a tough guy!

Among the movies Matthew has seen, Bruce Willis in "Die Hard", Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Terminator 2", Sylvester Stallone in the "First Blood" series, and Tom Cruise in the "Mission Impossible" series have all interpreted them in their own ways.

Matthew believes that such a tough guy must be calm.

"Where did you hide her?" Matthew grimaced, "I won't give you anything until I see my daughter." ”

As soon as the two lines were finished, David Astor frowned slightly, but said nothing.

"This young man named Matthew Horner is in good shape. He kept watching the performances of the two people, "but the level of acting skills is not flattering." ”

Even if he doesn't have to tell carefully, he can see that Matthew Horner is imitating Tom Cruise, but unfortunately he only imitates the cool side of Tom Cruise, but there is no other side behind the tough guy.

The performances of the two continued, but the performances were very different.

Matthew always has wide-eyed eyes, puffed up momentum, and poses like a ruthless tough guy, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is always an expression, Rachel McAdams is completely different, her acting skills may not be very good, but under Matthew's foil, she seems to be free, especially using the eyebrows, the corners of the mouth and eyes, as well as the subtle changes in the muscles on the face, to make her expression more suitable for the atmosphere of dialogue rendering.

Everyone present could see that the performances of these two people were not on the same level at all.

Even Matthew himself was aware.

Rachel McAdams looked particularly petite, but as soon as she got on the court, her whole aura changed, and Matthew felt a word: reasonable.

This girl not only has a reasonable breath, reasonable movements, and even a raised eyebrow and a pout, he can't keep up with her rhythm at all, this problem is terrible, according to the requirements of the script, both characters are tough, but his role is the strong one, Rachel McAdams is the slightly weaker one, Rachel McAdams plays the weak in the face of the kidnappers who are super tough guys just right.

If I had to find the right description, Matthew thought she was a brick trowel worker on a construction site, and he was just a small worker wielding a sledgehammer to wreak havoc, or was she a temporary one.

Matthew's last half-minute scene is completely following the rhythm of Rachel McAdams.

"Stop!"

At the end of all the lines, David Astor shouted and came next to Matthew and Rachel McAdams.

Matthew nodded lightly at Rachel McAdams.

Rachel McAdams is no longer the previous vulture, and she also nodded slightly, and a pair of good-looking brows frowned immediately, just now she stole the show.

Indeed, she can't be completely blamed for this, the actor opposite is too ordinary, but she can't control her strength in such a scene......

Rachel McAdams shook her head, knowing that her acting skills, let alone being able to retract and release freely, were still far from being good.

As for the actor named Matthew Horner opposite, it is okay to be handsome and cool with his excellent appearance, but his acting skills are really not much.

"You're doing a good job. David Astor began by saying to Rachel McAdams, "What is lacking most right now is a lot of practice and enough acting experience. ”

He turned to everyone and said, "Acting is a skill, and there is only one way to improve your skill, and that is through constant practice." This is especially true of performing skills related to body control, just like athletes are not born, but are practiced consistently!"

What others think of David Aster, Matthew doesn't know, but in the eyes of someone like him with enough social experience, what this guy teaches can be described as typical pragmatism.

Maybe there are acting geniuses in this world who don't need much practice, but Matthew knows that he is not that kind of person.

Consistent practice!Matthew memorized this phrase.

David Astor went on to say to Matthew, "Your problem is obvious, the lack of acting experience, the simplification and superficiality of the performance form. ”

Hearing him say this, Matthew nodded extremely seriously, he came here to find someone to guide.

In such a scene, either showing a cold face, or being as stubborn as a child, the acting seems to be in place, but the details are ignored. David Astor continued to say to Matthew, "You were very ruthless just now, the problem is that it was your daughter who was kidnapped, and the script wants you to portray you not only as a tough guy, but also as a tender and good father......!

He shook his head, "Do you think it's appropriate?"

Matthew shook his head as well, and at the same time took the initiative to ask, "Wouldn't it be better to add some worry and fear?"

"Yes. David Astor first nodded, and then admonished, "There is no specific quantitative standard for performance, it depends on the specific situation." ”

Most of the fourteen people stared intently at David Astor and listened carefully to his words, and for many people who were not highly educated and had not received systematic acting studies, David Astor was like a good teacher.

Subsequently, Matthew and Rachel McAdams exited the performance venue, and another pair of actors came in to perform.

In this acting class, Matthew was attentive from beginning to end, for fear of missing out on any useful knowledge, he may be ranked relatively low among everyone compared to talent and acting skills, but when it comes to concentration, no one can compare to him.

Even Rachel McAdams, who seems to be very serious, is a big cut off.

The morning class went by in a blink of an eye, and Matthew even felt that time was passing too quickly, unlike others who left in a hurry, he chased out of the classroom, found David Aster, who had not gone far, and asked a question that he thought was very important.

"Mr. Astor. He politely asked, "What is the key to being a good actor?"

Although he wants to be a Hollywood movie star, not an actor, he also knows that the competition here is fierce, and if his acting skills are not even of a basic level, even if he is lucky enough to become popular, he will soon fall to the bottom, which is not what he wants.

"Matthew, huh?" David Astor said after a moment's thought, "I think actors should be humble, and not superficial. ”

Hearing him say this, Matthew was confused and couldn't understand what this meant.

David Astor added, "There is no such thing as a perfect performance. Therefore, we must always be in awe of beauty. He nodded to Matthew, "It's a good thing to be studious, and it's a rare quality in Hollywood." ”

Presumably noticing the seriousness and concentration that Matthew was different from others in class, David Astert said, "Keep it up so that when the opportunity arises, you have the capital to seize it." ”

He nodded to Matthew and turned to walk away.

Matthew scratched his head, of course he understood the latter words, but the previous words about humility were a little confused.

Standing here and thinking for a while, he really couldn't figure it out, so he simply walked towards the school cafeteria, had a simple lunch, and sat down to rest for a while, he came to another classroom, ready to take the language class that he had already registered.

In this classroom, Matthew saw several familiar faces, and some of the people who had been in the morning with the class also came to the language class, including Rachel McAdams, who had played opposite roles.

Seeing that the seat next to Rachel McAdams was empty, Matthew immediately walked over.

"Hi, Rachel. He showed a very good personality and asked politely, "Is there anyone here?"

Seeing Matthew's sunny smile, Rachel McAdams also responded politely, "Hello, Matthew." No one, just sit casually. ”

Matthew pulled out his chair, sat down, and asked, "What a coincidence, you've signed up for language classes too." ”

"I can't help it. Rachel McAdams said helplessly, "The agent said my accent was too strong and needed to be corrected." ”

Matthew laughed, "That's what my agent said too, she thinks my Texas accent is too earthy." ”

Rachel McAdams agrees, "No, my agent also thinks I don't have a good Canadian accent." ”

With a common topic, the two gradually became acquainted.

At the same time, Helen Herman used her relationship with Ridley Scott to keep in touch with the crew of "Gladiator" and get a chance to get Matthew really in the media.
