Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

In the dressing room, Matthew had just finished styling when Bella Anderson walked in with Helen Herman.

"I came from the crew of 'I Am Legend'. Helen Herman glanced at Matthew and said, "The news I told you last night was not wrong, Francis Lawrence voluntarily quit the crew. ”

Matthew turned to look at Helen Herman and asked, "Just because the supporting actress didn't use Paula Barton?"

Helen Herman nodded slightly, "Hmm." She went on to explain, "Francis Lawrence threatened Aziva Gossman with quitting the crew, but Aziva Gossman was unmoved, and his threat turned into voluntarily resigning as director and firing the crew." ”

"This director is bold and principled. Matthew shrugged, "I wouldn't dare threaten Aziva Gosman with the dismissal." ”

He has always been very clear in his mind that although he is now a box office star, he has neither funding nor the person designated by the producer, and the crew does not have to be him.

To put it bluntly, he knew that even if he were to replace Will Smith, the project would have a good chance of success.

Helen Herman said unceremoniously, "While some of the philosophies that Francis Lawrence holds are tiresome, in general, Matthew ...... He is more principled and philosophical than you are. ”

"Really?" Matthew asked, then continued, "my principles and philosophies have never changed!"

Hearing this, Helen Herman immediately understood what she meant, and she couldn't refute it, because Matthew really hadn't changed.

Matthew took the initiative to change the subject and asked, "Is there a director to replace Aziva Gossman?"

"There are several. Helen Herman looked at her watch and said, "I recommended a candidate to them." ”

"Didn't you go to negotiate Anna's contract?" asked Matthew curiously, "Who did you recommend?"

Helen Herman answered the first question first, "Anna's salary was basically negotiated, $100,000, and then I recommended a director by the way." She went on to say the director's name, "Has Guillermo del Toro heard of it?"

"Sounds like a Latino. "Matthew hadn't heard the name.

"A Mexican director. Helen Herman said simply, "His latest release was 'Hellboy'. ”

Matthew suddenly realized, "It turned out to be the director of "Hellboy". ”

He has seen this film before, and there will be a sequel later, which shows that it is a successful work, and it is estimated that the director's level should not be a problem.

Helen Herman seemed to know what Matthew was thinking, saying, "Guillermo del Toro has more seniority than Francis Lawrence, has directed four or five films, and is a commercial director with quite distinctive characteristics in addition to "Hellboy" and "Blade 2". ”

Matthew nodded and asked, "Will Aziva Gosman consider him?"

"It's already on the crew's list of considerations. Helen Herman thought for a moment and said, "I'm only responsible for recommending, and I'm going to make up for the rift with Aziva Gossman to get paid for you, and it's not up to us to decide whether he'll use it or not." ”

In the previous salary negotiations, her attitude was so tough that it would not affect Aziva Gosman's relationship with Matthew too much, but it was inevitable that she would have opinions about her as an agent.

Brokers have to get high returns for their clients, and they also have to manage relationships with big-name producers.

There was a knock on the door of the dressing room, and a crew member came over to inform Matthew that filming was about to start.

Matthew walked out of the dressing room first and headed for the set, followed by Helen Herman and Bella Anderson.

Today, the crew will shoot the last few scenes, and if the shooting goes well, all the shots will be completed before noon, and the filming phase of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" will be over.

The filming was still taking place on a green screen, and Matthew came directly to the set, and Eva Green, who was playing with him, had been waiting for a while.

Matthew greeted Eva Green and looked around, presumably to end the filming today, when the bearded Jack and David Ellison were all on the studio and were standing on the perimeter to watch.

Director Zack Snyder walked over and stood in front of Matthew and Eva Green.

He looked at Matthew first, and then at Eva Green, and saw that the makeup and clothing of the two were fine, and then said, "Matthew, Eva, you have to show the deep affection between Leonidas and Queen Gogo in this scene, and this scene is Leonidas's last thoughts when facing Xerxes to the death." ”

"I understand. Matthew nodded.

Eva Green also said, "We're ready. ”

This is not false, the two of them have had in-depth exchanges in the crew more than once, and they have not removed their makeup several times, and by the way, they also played role-playing according to the script, including this wheat field emotional exchange scene.

Zack Schneider walked out of the set, Eva Green was lying on the green screen, and Matthew was ready, and then the assistant director put the sign in front of the camera lens and shouted start.

Matthew sat next to Eva Green, Eva Green turned her head to look at him, he also stared at Eva Green, and the two looked at each other affectionately, as if they were a truly affectionate couple.

After looking at each other affectionately for only a second, Matthew reached out and slowly stroked over Eva Green's snow-white face, and Eva Green reached out and grabbed his hand, as if she didn't want him to stay away.

Then, Matthew showed a reluctant expression on his face, but his reluctance instantly turned into firmness.

Behind the director's monitor, Zack Schneider can see any change in the expression on Matthew's face through the images transmitted in real time, the filming of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" has come to the last day, and he is completely sure that compared to the filming of "Dawn of the Living Dead", Matthew's acting skills have obviously improved after being tempered by several films.

Although there is a huge gap compared to Al Pacino or Daniel Day Lewis, among the many commercial film actors in Hollywood, it is already a relatively good one.

From his personal point of view, Tom Cruise's acting skills in the "Mission" series may not be better than Matthew in the filming of this film.

Originally, before the filming of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" started, Zack Schneider was a little worried after hearing that Matthew had taken over a commercial film like "I Am Legend", which was almost a one-man show, after all, in such a movie, the protagonist would definitely not be able to hold up without certain acting skills.

But as filming began, this worry gradually disappeared, and as long as Matthew could maintain his acting skills and condition during the filming for more than a month, and cope with most of the scenes of the one-man show, the problem should not be very big.

Zack Schneider is actually very clear that compared to "Dawn of the Living Dead", his directing level is improving, and Matthew, who has participated in more film shooting, is also improving his acting level.

On the director's monitor, the scene had come to an end, and Zack Schneider hurriedly shouted, "Stop!"

On the set, Matthew was the first to stand up, and then reached out to pull Eva Green up, and Eva Green generously arranged the costume that exposed most of her breasts.

"My play is over. Eva Green whispered to Matthew, "It's going to be so fast." ”

Matthew nodded at her and agreed, "yes, the time with you flies so fast. ”

Eva Green glanced at him, unsure how much sincerity there was in it.

Matthew lowered his voice and invited, "Do you have time at night, go to my place and enjoy the night view of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills?"

Eva Green thought for a moment and responded, "There's time." She thought for a moment and said, "You still have a scene to film, so let's wait for you in the dressing room after I finish removing my makeup." ”

"Good. Matthew added, "I'll call you when I leave." ”

Eva Green then left the set, knowing full well that the filming of her part was over, and it was time for this temporary relationship with Matthew Horner to end.

Matthew glanced at Eva Green, compared to Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson, the relationship between him and Eva Green is purer and simpler, that is, pure attraction and enjoyment from the body, Eva Green's style is indeed bold, but neither disguised as a silly white sweet eyeball like Jessica Alba, nor used him to hype up like Scarlett Johansson.

Relatively speaking, this is a relatively simple woman who dares to take off and dare to leak.

The crew rested for half an hour and moved to another set of green-screen sets, on which the floor was covered with many spartan dummies dressed as Spartan warriors, all face down or with their backs to the camera.

Taking advantage of this short time, the makeup artist also adjusted Matthew's makeup appropriately, in this scene, Leonidas has been hit by an arrow, but Matthew has no arrows on his body, and all arrows will be added through post-production.

Before filming began, Zack Schneider came over again and told Matthew, saying, "Shout out a sense of grandeur." ”

Matthew knew what was needed for this Leonidas' last cry before his death, and when Zack Schneider started shouting, he immediately stood in front of the camera, drew his sword and roared.

"Haa

"Ka!" Zack Schneider shouted to stop filming and exclaimed, "Matthew, it doesn't feel right, do it all over again." ”

Matthew shouted again, Zack Schneider shouted again, and repeated it five or six times in a row, but it didn't get the effect that Zack Schneider wanted.

This kind of seemingly simple scene is the most difficult to shoot in many times.

After shooting more than a dozen times in a row, Matthew's voice was almost hoarse, and he felt as if he was about to smoke in his mouth, and the voice he shouted carried a hoarse feeling of exhaustion.

“OK！”

This is exactly what Zack Schneider wanted, and he finally shouted through, and the filming of "Three Hundred Spartan Warriors" ended.
