Chapter 123: The Case (Subscription Requested)
"Do you know them?" asked Tom Hardy.
Johnny Lee Miller shook his head, "Kind of familiar, that Matthew Horner is a bit like someone I knew before." ”
He can't remember the name of the driver at Red Penguin Service, but Matthew Horner really resembles him, but how could a little driver be an actor on the Ridley Scott crew?
Looking at Tom Hardy next to him and constantly looking back, Johnny Lee Miller pulled out his phone and dialed a number, "It's me." You go and ask the Red Penguins, call Liszt, and I want a list of all the drivers who have served me. ”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this person looked very similar to a driver.
After passing through security, Matthew and James McAvoy entered Edward Air Force Base and arrived at a staging point, where they were being carried by U.S. military vehicles to a dedicated dormitory.
Although they live in a military camp, it is a two-person and three-person room in good condition, if there is anything bad, that is, the bathroom is too small, there is no shower equipment, and if you take a shower, you have to go to the public bathroom in the dormitory area.
After all, this is a military base, and there is nothing to complain about, and this is specially prepared by the base for the crew.
According to James McAvoy, a well-informed guy, the Pentagon has long-standing relationships with the six major Hollywood companies, and even has offices dedicated to Hollywood affairs, and often sponsors some big-budget Hollywood films, such as manpower, weapons and military bases, but only if the film promotes a positive image of the U.S. military.
Hearing him say this, Matthew immediately thought of "Transformers", which he had watched many times, in which the American GIs almost stole the limelight from the Optimus Primes, like the Decepticons Megatron and the like, all scum in front of the American GIs.
The crew of "Black Hawk Down" also received sponsorship from the Pentagon, and not only professionals acted as filming and training consultants, but also provided a wide range of weapons and equipment, including Black Hawk helicopters, for filming.
The Pentagon even sent a five-member Delta special operations team to assist the crew in training actors and filming difficult shots such as helicopter rappelling.
The crew must also say good things about the US military, anyway, the script that Matthew saw and the American GIs described are not bad guys, but these messy things are not his turn to consider.
Frankly speaking, he is still a young actor who struggles to get rid of the bottom of society, and he has no interest in exploring the truth of what happened on the land of Africa.
On the second day of staying at Edward's base, nearly a hundred actors began training, and this training was significantly different from the training experienced by Matthew in the crew of "Band of Brothers", the military instructors who participated in the training plus the five members of the Delta Force were more than a dozen people, and the actors did not discriminate, and there was no physical training with a large amount of exercise.
The training lasted only 10 days, and it mainly focused on the combat movements and tactical coordination of the US troops, as well as the use of weapons.
Some may find it hard work, as practicing shooting positions in front of the scorching sun is not easy, but for Matthew and James McAvoy, two who have undergone paramilitary training, it is no different from a holiday.
With the previous foundation, the training of the two was quite easy.
By the third day of training, Matthew had become proficient in disassembling the CAR-15 automatic rifle used by the Delta Force during the shooting.
"It's a pity......"
At the end of the shooting practice, while sitting in the shade to rest, Ben Foster, whom he had met when he came, said to Matthew, "You can't do live-fire training. ”
Matthew also had some itchy hands, but he understood that this was a military base, and he definitely couldn't mess around, and said, "I guess I'm afraid of danger." ”
"It's easy to play live shooting. James McAvoy removed the magazine of the M16A2 rifle and threw the empty magazine, "There are many gun clubs now, you can go and have a good time, and if you can't, you can apply for a gun license." ”
"That's right!" Matthew instantly realized, this is a country with a high crime rate in gun cases, and he can still legally hold a gun, and asked, "James, do you know how to apply for a gun license?"
James McAvoy leaned against the wall, "I'm British, I don't understand American law. ”
Ben Foster answered at this time, "When you go back to Los Angeles, you can find a legal gun shop to consult, guns are not expensive, and ordinary firearms are not worth as much as mobile phones." ”
"When I get back to the job, I'll go to the gun club and shoot a few shots. "Matthew hasn't shot a gun yet, that's a man's dream," said another gun. ”
He said very heroically, "I want to buy a room of guns!"
James McAvoy was dismissive, "What's the point of a gun, you'd better get a high-explosive bomb, put it at home, and ...... Boom......"
Matthew and the three of them were chatting together, and not very far away, Johnny Lee Miller had just finished a can of cold drink, raised the brim of his sunhat, and his eyes fell on Matthew.
He had confirmed that this person was the driver of the Red Penguin Company, which had sent female models to Malibu in the first place.
Johnny Lee Miller's eyes grew sharp as he looked at Matthew.
After he called his assistant that day, the assistant quickly looked up the resume of this little actor named Matthew Horner, which sounded like a ...... to him I just don't know how to describe it.
One thing he paid the most attention to, Matthew Horner became the first film in which the actor starred!
Angelina Jolie won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in "The Soul Shifter"!
Johnny Lee Miller remembers very well that during the filming of this film, it happened to be the time period when he and Angelina Jolie divorced, and the news passed by the assistant that Matthew Horner starred in "Soul Shifter" It was Angelina Jolie's relationship!
Angelina Jolie, "Soul Shifter", the driver of the Red Penguin Company, can enter his estate to deliver female models......
These easily led him to contact Angelina Jolie's videotape, the candid video that caused him huge property loss in the divorce case!
Originally, he thought that Angelina Jolie had installed a hidden camera in the manor in Malibu, but then he searched extensively and did not find it, but now it seems that it is not at all.
A driver of the Red Penguin Company, after transporting female models for him to use for, suddenly caught up with Angelina Jolie's line, and turned from a small driver into a low-paying actor in Hollywood, and even mixed into the crew of nearly 100 million dollars directed by Ridley Scott.
This can't help but make him think, what did Matthew Horner do to make Angelina Jolie recommend him to the crew of "Soul Shifting Girl"? More than 90% likely, Matthew Horner has a direct relationship with that tape!
Johnny Lee Miller looked at Matthew, and the more he watched, the more angry he became, how did such a despicable and shameless guy get into the crew of "Black Hawk Down" and become an important supporting role?
"That's a bastard!" Tom Hardy suddenly walked over and stood next to Johnny Lee Miller and said, "I almost beat him up at the bar while filming Band of Brothers!"
"You guys have a holiday?" asked Johnny Lee Miller.
Tom Hardy didn't think about it and said, "He caused my scene to be deleted." ”
Johnny Lee Miller retracted his gaze and looked at Tom Hardy, the guy who was rather unkind to Matthew Horner's face.
As a client of the same agent, he knows Tom Hardy to some extent, because of his good family background and background, arrogant temperament, he always thinks that he is very remarkable, but in fact he is a typical example of young impulsive and lack of social experience.
"You're just going to do that?" Johnny Lee Miller clasped his hands to his chest, "when it didn't happen?"
Tom Hardy snorted, "Of course not!"
Johnny Lee Miller rolled his eyes and patted him on the shoulder, "Honestly, Tom, I have a very deep relationship with him! ”
Tom Hardy scratched his head, thought of some of Johnny Lee Miller's ostentatious hobbies, and said, "I came up with an idea, aren't you very good at that, and we might be able to use it for Matthew Horner." ”
Johnny Lee Miller shook his head directly, "He's a man!"
Although he often does some crazy things about pairs of N at Malibu Villa, they are all women.
He understood what Tom meant, this was what he deliberately showed off, and he was not afraid of telling the truth, after all, there was not enough video data to support it, even if Tom leaked it, it would only be gossip that could not be put on the table.
"Listen to me, John!" Tom Hardy knows that he is weak alone, and wants to deal with Matthew Horner, pulling Johnny Lee Miller's words, more certainly, "You just need to use the previous scene on him, and you don't have to take the last step......"
Johnny Lee Miller thought about it, but thought of the tape and finally nodded.
The two guys with their own ghosts hit it off.
As the break drew to a close, James McAvoy loaded his empty magazine and reminded Matthew, "Tom Hardy has been staring at you since five minutes ago, along with Johnny Lee Miller." ”
Matthew quickly loaded the disassembled M1911A1 pistol and said, "I saw it all." ”
James McAvoy asked, "You had a grudge against Johnny Lee Miller?"
"I'm not sure either. Matthew picked what he could say simply, "I helped Angelina Jolie when Johnny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie divorced. ”
Judging from Johnny Lee Miller's frequent visits to him, Johnny Lee Miller may have had something in mind.
Matthew knows very well that his resume reads "Soul Shifting Girl", and many people in the crew knew that he was in a Angelina Jolie relationship at that time, coupled with the identity of the driver of the Red Penguin Company, as long as he is not a very stupid person, I am afraid he will start to associate it.
This matter can't stand up to investigation, originally he thought that as long as he didn't confront Johnny Lee Miller, there would be no trouble, but he didn't expect them to participate in the filming of "Black Hawk Down" together.
He tucked his pistol into his holster, picked up his CAR-15 automatic rifle, and beckoned to James McAvoy and Ben Foster, "Let's go, let's go to training." ”
As long as they don't do too much, but don't take the initiative to find trouble, he will act as if there are no such people in the crew.
