(Eight thousand collections, continue to ask for support!The more recommended votes, the better!)

In the face of fierce competition, let alone winning, even if you want to have the hope of winning, you must be 100% prepared, because the crew of "Band of Brothers" is still in the initial preparation stage, all kinds of information are strictly controlled, and the information that Matthew got in his hands was all Helen Herman worked hard to get it.

Although this does not guarantee that he will pass the audition, if he does not study carefully, the chances of passing the audition will be smaller.

In the next few days, Matthew spent most of his time studying the materials provided by Helen Herman, except for going to the acting class to continue his classes.

Although these materials are not particularly detailed, they are as large as the background of the project of "Band of Brothers" and as small as the setting of some supporting characters.

Being able to get such a document before the audition, Matthew felt that Helen Herman was quite good.

Helen Herman first noted for Matthew in the information that the three most powerful people in the crew, namely Gary Gonzman, Tom Hanks, and Steven Spielberg, these three people hold almost all the cast and crew rights, filming rights, and production rights.

The three have a good relationship, Tom Hanks and Gary Gozman have collaborated on "The Philadelphia Story" and "Unstoppable Miracle", Tom Hanks and Spielberg have collaborated on "Saving Private Ryan", and according to the information, the two will continue to work together in addition to "Band of Brothers".

In addition, Helen Herman also noted that Tom Hanks is not only the producer of "Band of Brothers", but also most likely the director of one of the episodes.

She analyzes that Tom Hanks is the dominant person in the whole series.

In other words, if Tom Hanks can be handled, as long as the performance at the audition is above the level line, there is still a lot of hope for the role of Ronald Spears.

The question is how do you get Tom Hanks? Helen Herman has made it clear that she doesn't talk to people at the level of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

As for Matthew himself, he is not arrogant, his status with these two people in the industry is estimated to be as far away as the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and it is not even the Indian Ocean.

Can you rely on the advantage of foresight and carry out appropriate operations like the actor who got Britney's MV? Matthew recalled the memories of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, who were famous, but had no impression of the related gossip scandals.

And these two people are not young, they are both people with very rich social experience and experience, and I am afraid that they will ask for trouble if they use low-level means like Britney.

Matthew thought about the information for a long time, and he didn't have a clue.

It's no wonder Helen Herman gave him all when he auditioned, which may be the only chance to win.

In the past, Matthew simply threw it aside and continued to look at other materials, especially about the character's setting.

Helen Herman got the news from Eric Pork that the overall style of "Band of Brothers" will follow Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks's "Saving Private Ryan", but unlike the fictional story of "Saving Private Ryan", "Band of Brothers" is adapted from a true story, each character has a prototype character with the same name and surname, and even Tom Hanks plans to let the prototype "supervise the battle" when filming some scenes to ensure that it is realistic.

In terms of plot, due to the secrecy of the crew, Helen Herman only got a very simple story outline, roughly the show focuses on the European battlefield of World War II, telling the story of the soldiers of Company E of the second battalion of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army from the Georgia training camp to the European battlefield for 434 days.

The most useful information in this regard is that each episode of the miniseries has a relatively concentrated character, and through the enhanced description of the characters, the progress of the war is shown while always grasping the psychology and state of the characters, and the characters are used to support the restoration of the war scenes in the play.

That is, each episode will have a relative protagonist.

Could the character of Ronald Spears be the protagonist of one of the episodes? Matthew naturally thought of the role he was going to compete for, but unfortunately, like the specific plot, this was highly confidential information from the crew, and Helen Herman couldn't get his hands on it at all.

Another point, Helen Herman also inquired that in addition to the book "Band of Brothers", the diary memoirs of E Company soldier David Kenyon Webster were also an important source for script writing.

It's a pity that this diary memoir is already in the hands of the crew, and she is still trying to find a copy.

Looking at the description on the data, Matthew can only sigh that Helen Herman is a woman with a somewhat arrogant personality, and the way she speaks in the form of squeezing toothpaste is also very troublesome, but in terms of being serious and responsible, there is basically nothing to find fault with.

The information was very thick, Helen Herman's preparation was very meticulous, and Matthew continued to scroll back, and then came across a message that would increase his confidence.

Gary Goldman, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg agreed on the actors, and in order to avoid obscuring the true colors of "Band of Brothers" by the actors, the crew will select actors who are not familiar to most audiences to enhance authenticity and persuasiveness.

"No wonder Helen asked me to fight for such an important role. Matthew nodded secretly, "It's not that there is no chance at all." ”

Then there's the character side, and Helen Herman is completely sure that Richard Winter will be the absolute protagonist of the series.

The other character introductions Matthew only took a brief look at and then focused on the role of Ronald Spears that he was ready to compete for.

Helen Herman also pointed out another disadvantage in Matthew's fight for the role, he is relatively young.

However, this is not much of a problem, Helen Herman thinks he is psychologically mature and his appearance is not a problem at all in front of Hollywood makeup.

Moreover, for Westerners, the difference between being in their twenties and being in their twenties is not very big.

There is a rough setting on the information, in addition to what Helen Herman said, it is also noted that this is a tough guy soldier with super combat effectiveness, who originally served in Company D, and in the cruel battle in the snow of Bastogne, Belgium, due to the panic of the commander of E Company, Spears stepped forward and was temporarily assigned as the commander of E Company.

In addition, Helen Hermann specifically noted that this man was rumored to have killed German prisoners of war.

"Killed prisoners of war?"

The information provided on the source is actually very limited, and if you want to know more about this character, Matthew feels that you should carefully study the original book of "Band of Brothers".

If he had asked Matthew to read such a novel a few months ago, he would have had a great headache, but fortunately, after these months of persistent reading practice, he dare not say that his reading level has improved by leaps and bounds, and it is not very difficult to read through the original novel of "Band of Brothers".

Not only did he do his own research, but Matthew's own level was limited, and in addition to acting classes, he specially consulted his teacher, David Aster.

Matthew selectively told David Astor about the audition and the role.

"You're saying you got an audition for Spielberg and Tom Hanks' Band of Brothers?"

In the office, David Astor touched his bald head and said to Matthew, "This is a rare opportunity, and if you grasp it, it will be very helpful for your future career development." ”

Matthew looked sad, "I want to grasp it too, but there may be dozens of people competing for this role." He thought for a moment and said directly, "Mr. Astor, I came to you to ask, how can I better grasp the role of an iron-blooded soldier?"

"The role of the Predator is ......" David Astor glanced at Matthew and said, "Your appearance has a natural advantage, but this advantage basically has no effect during the audition, and the actors who can participate in the audition competition with the crew of this level will definitely not match the role badly." ”

Matthew nodded, "You know, I'm relatively young, and I'm much worse than most people, so I can only figure out how to perform in the audition." ”

"The performance of the audition is still very important to compete for the role. David Astor then asked, "If your audition decisions were in the hands of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, the audition performance would carry more weight!"

The other party is a veteran actor who has worked hard in Hollywood for decades, and Matthew, believing that his experience may help him, asks, "Why?"

David Astor smiled and said, "At the level of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, there are very few people and things that can move them, this is just a small supporting role, if a big man wants to get through their relationship to get this role, it needs to pay a huge favor, what will Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg repay in the future? For such a small role, is it worth owing such a big favor?"

Matthew thought about it, if he had enough weight to speak in front of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, he would definitely not want to owe these two a favor debt for such a small matter.

According to the custom on the other side of the Pacific, personal debts are often the most difficult to repay, and there must be something common here.

"Let's still talk about the characters, tough guys, especially realistic World War II types, and the performance can't tolerate the slightest bit of banter, ridicule and artificiality. ”

David Astor used decades of experience to help Matthew analyze, "In this kind of role, temperament is the soul of the image! Without the strong temperament of a soldier, you can't play it well and can't play it!"

He recalled and said, "Matthew, I have participated in the filming of several World War II films, and in my understanding, actors can only match the image of the iron-blooded army if they really experience, dare to work hard, and spare no effort." ”

Matthew nodded, and David Astor said that although it wasn't something profound, it did help him.

"If you talk too much, it's easy to disturb you. David Astor shook his head with a smile, "Matthew, that's all I can say, the rest is up to you." ”

"Thank you. Matthew stood up and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Astor, your words have helped me a lot. ”

Subsequently, he left David Aster's office to call Helen Herman.
