Chapter 913: If You Don't Die, Who Dies
"Actually, I'm also a good gunman. ”
In the break room, Margot Robbie was still chatting with Matthew, "I was exposed to guns when I was very young. ”
Matthew nodded slightly, before he glanced at Margot Robbie hitting a fixed target, just looking at the shooting posture, it should not be a layman.
Margot Robbie continued, "I grew up on a farm that, from the late nineties, was plagued by hares, wild deer and kangaroos, which were so infested in the wild that they could nibble away a large field of crops and pasture overnight. ”
"Sounds like a great place to hunt. Matthew joked.
"Yes, to live on the farm, you have to learn to pick up a gun and fight these animals. Margot Robbie gestured with a shooting gesture, "If you don't hunt them, it means there may be no harvest." ”
Matthew had seen a similar report in the newspaper, saying that Australian officials organize annual hunting of hares and kangaroos to ensure Australia's ecological balance.
"Is there no cure?" asked Matthew.
Margot Robbie shook her head slowly, "They have no natural predators, and humans can only barely control their numbers. ”
Matthew thought for a moment and said, "You can eat them all." ”
"Not as good as beef. Margot Robbie apparently ate, "It's okay to eat once in a while." ”
Australia is a vast and sparsely populated country, and there is really no shortage of food, and Matthew knows this, if it were to be changed to another place, animals like hares, wild deer and kangaroos would dare to overflow?
Margot Robbie was about to speak at this time, Matthew saw Chris Kyle walk into the common room with two people, and said to Margot Robbie, "Chris Kyle is back, we'll talk later." ”
"Good. Margot Robbie continued to sit here and didn't leave.
She watched as Matthew stood up and went to the table next to her, where she shook hands with the other two men who looked quite strong one by one, as introduced by Chris Kyle.
Matthew just said that these are two veterans who have returned from the battlefield in Iraq.
Matthew and Chris Kyle sat farther away from her, and the two veterans came to sit down next to her, and one of them, a pale and gloomy man, sat behind her, their chairs half a meter apart.
She heard what they were saying.
"I'll start with an introduction. Margot Robbie heard Chris Kyle's voice, "Matthew, this is Chad Littlefield, a former Navy SEAL. ”
Margot Robbie looked back, it was the veteran who was a little farther away from her.
"This is Eddie Laws, a former Marine. ”
Hearing this, Margot Robbie didn't look back, because she didn't have to look and knew that it was the pale and gloomy old soldier who had his back to her.
A former Navy SEAL and a former Marine are two military advisers, and the professionalism of the crew is guaranteed.
Margot Robbie muttered in her heart, no wonder Matthew is always successful, and the preliminary work is really well prepared.
Then she pricked up her ears and listened to their conversation.
Since Matthew had let her be here by default, he obviously didn't care that she heard this.
In fact, they are not talking about things that need to be kept secret, they are all about work related to the movie "American Sniper".
Most of the time, it was Matthew asking about some of the military and the situation on the battlefield in Iraq.
Margot Robbie listened for a while and felt that this should help her audition, and couldn't help but cheer up, but one thing she was strange about was that the veteran named Eddie Rolls never opened his mouth after shaking hands with Matthew and saying hello at first, even if Matthew took the initiative to ask him, he never answered.
Later, Matthew stopped asking him.
The man was silent.
Margot Robbie took the white porcelain glass and took a sip, and although she couldn't see the expression of the man named Eddie Rolls, she felt that the other person was like a stone that couldn't speak.
The waitress came over at this moment, passed by her, and brought a glass of water to everyone at the back table.
Margot Robbie took the opportunity to look back, and Ma Corrective took a drink from the water cup, as if he had asked so many questions, and was a little thirsty.
Chris Kyle, who was sitting next to Matthew, was in a state of excitement and knew he was in a state of excitement without guessing.
Also, how many people can invite a top star like Matthew to play themselves in the movie? Margot Robbie understands Chris Kyle very well, as long as the movie adaptation of the autobiography of "American Sniper" is released, Chris Kyle will definitely become famous.
Who isn't excited?
"It's impossible for us to go to Iraq to shoot. Matthew put down the glass and continued to say to Chris Kyle and the others, "The crew has to think about safety, I can't risk the lives of thousands of people." ”
Chris Kyle nodded approvingly, "I went to see the towns in the Southern California desert that were used as locations, and it wasn't bad. ”
Chad Littlefield answered, "I'll go over tomorrow and have a look." ”
Although the crew has not yet decided to hire him as a consultant, he has decided to show a 100% attitude.
Those of them who have retired from the battlefield do not have a wide range of choices, and it is a very good choice to enter Hollywood.
Matthew's gaze once again drifted over the former Marine named Eddie Rolls, who had given him such a bad impression that he hadn't paid attention to anyone since he sat down, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He wouldn't hire such a person, and working in a large crew, communication is a very important basic ability.
If you can't say anything as a military consultant in the crew, what's the use of hiring him?
Matthew has already rejected Eddie Laws as a candidate, and Chad Littlefield is a better fit in comparison.
As for Eddie Laws being discharged from the military and unemployed at home, resulting in becoming a victim of post-traumatic stress disorder, he can only sympathize with him, rather than planting such an unstable factor in his own crew with an investment of up to $100 million.
Chris Kyle has been in a state of excitement since the day the "American Sniper" movie was launched, and even a powerful warrior on the battlefield is not immune to the thrill that fame and fortune can bring.
Now, the preparation of the film is about to enter the final stage, and filming will start soon, and the person who plays him is the famous Matthew Horner, and his life is about to reach its peak.
It's not just Chris Kyle who is excited, but also Chad Littlefield, the veteran is also in a very good mood, if there is no big accident, he will definitely join the crew of "American Sniper" in the future, thus opening the door to Hollywood, to work in a completely different but more colorful circle from the military.
From the outside, Hollywood is really good, and it seems that it can be a winner in life at any time with a lot of money and countless beautiful women around it.
Eddie Rolls kept his mouth shut and didn't speak, seeing the other three chatting enthusiastically, as if they were just outsiders.
From the beginning to the present, Eddie Rolls hasn't looked much at Matthew Horner, this kind of blown Hollywood star, a tough guy in the real world, is just a weak chicken in his eyes, if he fights to the death, he can kill Matthew Horner in minutes.
The soldiers who play are always fake, what is the difference between Matthew Horner and Stallone and Schwarzenegger?
Eddie Rolls ignores Matthew, with gloomy eyes, but keeps an extremely stealthy eye on Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield's every move.
In the car when he came, the two men ignored him as if he were an airy being, and now here they still ignore him as if he were still air.
Seeing the happy eyebrows of the two of them, Eddie Rolls' mood became more and more gloomy, and he also retreated from the battlefield, why can you be so happy, but I have to live in pain?
I was very calm, why did you come to the door to disturb me? I hate it the most when I obviously don't need the help of others, a group of so-called good people come to me with smiling faces one after another, but they make me feel the cold of minus 50 degrees!
Also, the black pickup truck I rode in today, that's my favorite type! Why can Chris Kyle drive and I can't afford it?
The same service in Iraq, the same veterans who have been discharged from the army, why is there such a big gap?
Eddie Rolls has always wondered what he got for doing so much for this country.
Then, his eyes drifted over Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield again, and he felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if he had shot and killed people for the first time in Iraq.
"You're a combat hero, you have a wife, you have children and daughters, you're able-bodied, you're awesome, and you're bothering Lao Tzu!" Eddie Rolls needed to vent, and all the desire to vent converged into a single thought in his mind, "In that case...... If you don't die, who will you die?"
One of Eddie Laws' hands quietly unbuttoned his suit and reached inside, inside was a small revolver, which he gripped tightly.
The experience of the battlefield in Iraq has long made him develop the habit of not having a sense of security without a gun.
Eddie Rouse is a former Marine Corps veteran, and his military literacy is naturally needless to say, seemingly quiet, but in fact he moves extremely fast, and when no one is watching, he pulls out a revolver from under his suit jacket.
Perhaps it was the soldier's instinct that his gun was the first to be aimed at Chad Littlefield, who was closest to him and undoubtedly the greatest threat.
"No ......"
Chris Kyle wanted to shout, but before his voice could reach his throat, the gunshots rang out.
Bang –
In the midst of the gunshot, Chad Littlefield's head exploded like a rotten watermelon, spraying red and white to the back of his head.
(Eddie Laws's psychology is not made up, but mainly from his own oral accounts and news in interviews, and according to his own words, the first murderous intention of the day was because Kyle and the two of them sat in the front seat of the car and did not talk to him.) )
