Chapter 124: Hesitation (Asking for Subscription)
The training began again, and the instructor in charge of teaching Matthew's squad took them into a construction training area to instruct them on the most basic precautions for urban special operations.
"James!" the instructor shouted to the dozen or so actors who had spread out into small groups, "Are you hiding? Squat! Squat a little lower!"
The instructor, who is in his thirties, probably thought it was a lot of fun to train Hollywood actors, and he was so committed to the work that in just a few days he became familiar with the team that Matthew and James McAvoy were trained on, and even called out everyone's name.
The content of the training is to simulate the actions of the year, and let Matthew and other actors move towards a small building from different directions with prescribed tactical movements.
Although they didn't wear helmets and most of their equipment because of their weights, after a few days of training, the actors looked a little bit like soldiers.
The instructor had been standing in the middle of the street and watching, reminding them of their inadequacy, "Ben-Foster, watch the muzzle of your gun! Your muzzle is already aimed at the back of Matthew's head! Do you want to murder Shangguan?"
Matthew ducked behind a low house and looked back to see Ben Foster holding his gun diagonally, the muzzle pointed upwards at the back of his head.
"Hey, Ben!"
This is not a shoot again, Matthew casually joked, "You're about to become a pig teammate." ”
Ben Foster quickly adjusted his posture with the gun and muttered, "This is the first time I've been exposed to this kind of training, and it's not like you and James, who are both veterans." ”
"Attack!" the instructor's voice suddenly sounded, "Attack!"
Matthew flashed out, and the cat's waist ran towards Xiaolou, followed by Ben Foster, who was in his group.
"Posture down!" the instructor reminded the tactical move again loudly, "Posture down! Everyone, posture down!"
Matthew lowered his posture further, came to the front of the small building, hid behind a low brick wall and aimed ahead, and made a tactical sign language to Ben Foster behind him, Ben Foster came over with a cat on his back, ready to go to a bunker in front of him, but as he passed by, his foot tripped on the ground.
Ben Foster tilted his body and threw himself at the brick wall in front of Matthew, where his head was about to hit the edge of the brick wall.
If he did bump into it this time, Ben Foster would definitely have his head blooming.
Matthew saw it clearly, but Ben Foster fell too fast to hold him, and in a hurry, he reached out and pushed Ben Foster, slightly changing the direction of his fall.
Bang –
Ben-Foster almost clinged to the brick wall, fell to the ground, and grunted.
Matthew put down his weapon, interrupted his training, and hurried over to ask, "Are you alright?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Ben Foster felt palpitations, touched his hands up and down, and said to Matthew, "I'm fine! ”
Matthew reached out and pulled him up from the ground, "Be careful. ”
Ben Foster stood up, calmed down a bit, took a breath, and said, "Thank you, Matthew. ”
Although he didn't see it too clearly, he also felt it, if it wasn't for Matthew's push, he would definitely hit his head against the wall, and then it wouldn't be as simple as a fall.
The instructor also sensed the situation and asked loudly, "Matthew Horner, what's going on, is anyone hurt?"
"It's okay!" Matthew glanced at Ben-Foster, saw him nod, and replied loudly, "Everything is fine." ”
The instructor's roar came again, "Keep training!"
The training lasted almost an hour and again went into rest time.
Most of the people sat in the shade to rest, Matthew had good physical strength, this intensity of training was nothing, he took a bottle of mineral water from the place where the crew prepared drinking water and food, looked at it and took a sip, and saw that between the training buildings, the instructor from the Delta team was still walking back and forth, as if he was designing the next training course, took another bottle of water, and walked over.
"Brown ......," beckoned Matthew, "drink some water." ”
The instructor's name was Brown Williams, and according to his own account, he was a veteran of more than five years with the Delta Force.
He made a good impression on Matthew, unlike the American GIs in movies or TV, and the whole person seemed particularly stable.
"Thanks!" Brown Williams took the water and asked, "You're not resting?"
Matthew shook his head, "I'm not tired. ”
"I almost forgot......" Brown-Williams smiled, "you're military-trained." ”
He asked, with a little curiosity, "Do the veterans who train you earn well in Hollywood?"
"It's okay...... Matthew glanced at him, "In recent years, there have been a lot of modern war-themed movies and TV projects in Hollywood, and military consultants with professional experience seem to be quite easy to find jobs." ”
He doesn't know much about this, so he can only talk about it roughly, but what he says is not the same thing as what he thinks, veterans go to Hollywood, and I haven't heard of a few people who are mixed up.
At the end of the day's training, everyone was basically sweating and muddy, and the training place of Matthew's team was far away from the dormitory area, and when they returned to the dormitory building, most of them had already come out of the public bathroom after taking a shower.
Matthew was staying in a double room, and his roommate was James McAvoy, and the two returned to their dorm room, packed their things and prepared to go to the bathroom, when the iconic ringtone of Nokia's phone suddenly rang.
"Your phone ......," James McAvoy reminded.
"Hmm. Matthew answered, found his Nokia phone, and found that it was Britney Spears, so he had to say to James McAvoy, "You go take a shower first, girlfriend's phone, I'll go later." ”
James McAvoy waved his hand and walked out of the dorm with his toiletries.
"Hi dear. Matthew answered the phone, "How do you have time today?" ”
Britney's voice came from there, "I'm in Yokohama, I just entered the hotel room, it's going to be fine, I thought you should be done with training......"
In the hallway outside the dorms, in the stairwell leading upstairs, Tom Hardy peeked out from around the corner, staring closely at this side of Matthew and James McAvoy's room, which he had been watching since the group returned.
Soon, he saw James McAvoy walking with the actor named Ben Foster towards the bathroom at the end of the hallway.
"How's it going?" Johnny Lee Miller stood behind Tom Hardy with a handbag, "are you out?"
"Nope. Tom Hardy whispered, "I only saw James McAvoy who was living in a dorm room with Matthew Horner, who never came out." ”
He wondered, "Didn't that bastard take a shower? How much sweat he had made this day, and it was disgusting......
"Wait a little longer. Johnny Lee Miller appeared patient, "Calm down and take a look at the situation first." ”
Tom Hardy stuck his head out again, James McAvoy and Ben Foster had already entered the bathroom, and Matthew Horner still hadn't moved.
Johnny Lee Miller was not idle, he picked up the bag that had been on the ground, looked through the contents of the tote bag, and asked, "Tom, are you sure?"
"Even if you can't force him out of the crew...... Tom Hardy is confident, "you can make him lose face......! As long as the things are in our hands, what he will do in the future will have to think about the consequences!"
Johnny Lee Miller nodded, which was pretty much the same as Angelina Jolie did against him......
When he signed the property division agreement, Angelina Jolie brought him the only videotape, and the two parties also specifically noted the relevant terms on the division agreement, Angelina Jolie guaranteed the uniqueness of the videotape, and if she still had the videotape in her hand, she would pay him a large sum of money.
He wasn't worried about the tape, so Tom Hardy made a suggestion and happily agreed.
Besides, he's a big star, and that Matthew Horner is just a shit driver, even if things go out and the crew is quiet, the target of choice will be the other party, not him.
After calling Britney, Matthew put away his phone, found his toiletries, left the dormitory, and walked to the bathroom at the far edge of the same floor.
Just like a normal bathroom, there are two rooms inside, with a smaller one on the outside and a shower room on the inside.
Matthew found an empty closet and put the clothes he had brought in, and a person came out of the bathroom, but it was Ben Foster.
"You've come just in time. Ben Foster said as he wiped his wet hair with a bath towel, "Now this is your bathroom." ”
Matthew took the bath towel and walked inside, saying as he went, "It's better to come early than to be lucky." ”
Entering the shower room, standing under a puffy head, hot water flushing on his body, a refreshing feeling spread throughout his body, Matthew couldn't help but stretch.
There was a sound of the door opening and closing outside, and it was supposed Ben Foster going out.
Back in his dormitory, Ben Foster put away his toiletries and went out to buy something, probably tired from training during the day, the hallway was empty, and there were only two people standing in the doorway in the bathroom at the very edge.
He knew those two people, Johnny Lee Miller, a big-name actor on the set, and Tom Hardy, a junior actor who was about the same as him.
The two men were dressed in clean clothes, not like they were going to take a shower, and he remembered that they didn't live on this floor, and even if they did, they wouldn't be here.
Just as Ben Foster was thinking so, the two entered the bathroom
"That's not right!"
Ben Foster immediately remembered something, James McAvoy mentioned that he had clashed with Matthew and Tom Hardy on other crews, and it would be bad for Matthew for these two to go in?
He stopped, momentarily hesitating.
