Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, Ryan's shoulder-length hair that he had kept for a long time was gone, and after the neat short hair was re-dyed, it was closer to black, and when the stylist had done all this, he left the dressing room and found Ridley on the set? Scott.

The old man was checking the progress of the construction of the gladiatorial arena, and due to the refusal of the city government of Rome, the crew had to come to London, rented a piece of the Spencer family's territory in Northampton, and built a huge gladiatorial arena improvised with steel pipe sets and corresponding building materials.

Although this gladiatorial arena is huge, it is definitely a typical example that is not used in the middle, except for the first few rows that can sit people, the back is basically a set, if it lacks the support of the steel frame, it will definitely become a real tofu slag project.

Even so, the crew has invested more than $14 million in it, which began construction two months ago and has not yet been completed.

"Ryan, I have to say, this damn weather is terrible."

Things have been going badly lately, Ridley? Scott inevitably complained, "And you, I hope you can accept Nicholas before filming your own scenes?" Mr. Powell's gladiator training! ”

Without waiting for Ryan's reaction, the old man continued, "I know that you have received strict swordsmanship training because of the filming of the Lord of the Rings, but in your script and my conception, the movie scene should be more realistic hand-to-hand combat, we will use metal weapons throughout the process, and you will not only be responsible for yourself, but also for the other actors. ”

"God, Ridley, you remind me of Kim? Kerry. Ryan changed his serious expression, "These are not problems, I will strictly follow the plan you have formulated!" ”

Although he has been going back to the word for the past few years, Ryan knows that Ridley? Scott's level, the director of "Alien" and "Blade Runner", is undoubtedly an excellent master of cinema. Even after this movie, he is still memorizing words.

As for Nicholas in his mouth? Powell, a true martial arts master, once participated in the filming of "Braveheart", and has a lot of experience in traditional Western-style fighting.

In fact, after the final round of auditions, all the actors began rigorous training, including a large number of stuntmen, who needed excellent physical fitness and explosive muscles, at least from what they looked like on camera.

Although the movie is on, the main actors are still training. Most of the shots were taken of extras, as well as landscapes and so on......

With Ridley? After Scott talked for a while, the assistant of the crew took Ryan to the place where the actor was trained, and he was considered an experienced person in this regard, so he quickly changed into his training clothes, took a prop sword, and walked towards the temporary training hall.

The prop sword was indeed a metal sword, but it was an aluminum alloy sword, which was much lighter than the Nasir Holy Sword.

The film. There have been huge changes compared to the previous life, at least in terms of actors, the three main actors have all changed, and Ryan himself will not talk about it. Leonardo? DiCaprio got the role of Emperor Commodus, and it was Jennifer who played his sister? Lopez!

Ryan didn't know much about how the Latin diva got the role, and he didn't interfere with Ridley? Scott's decision. Besides, it wasn't difficult to disguise her as a Roman.

Looking at the actors who are training, the one that impresses Ryan the most is Leonardo. Xiao Li's figure is almost a full circle thicker, and even his face has some more horizontal meat.

Nicole got the news from his supermodel girlfriend that Leonardo hired a professional team to develop a detailed fitness plan for himself in order to get this role, and after long-term training, his thin body in the past also puffed up his muscles.

Although the other party is only much stronger, in Ryan's eyes, Xiao Li seems to be moving closer to the uncle in the previous life, if he doesn't pay attention in the future.

However, if Xiao Li really wants to make a difference in the Oscars, I am afraid that he will follow the old path of his previous life.

It wasn't until the break that Ryan walked over and talked to Jennifer? After greeting Lopez, the others went straight to Leonardo, "Hey, Leon, you look strong?" ”

"Interested, Ryan?" Leonardo first saw the sword in Ryan's hand and showed a malicious smile, "Before the movie starts, how about we have a duel first?" ”

"Are you sure?" Ryan said that he couldn't deal with a professional like George, and if he couldn't deal with you, this year's swordsmanship would be in vain.

Although these swordsmanship skills do not have much effect, long-term practice can at least strengthen the body.

"This ......"

Seeing Ryan's equally malicious expression, Leonardo suddenly felt that this was not a good idea, and hurriedly said, "Just kidding, don't take it too seriously." ”

Stayed here until the afternoon, Ryan followed Nicholas? Powell's request, most of the time, was to watch, to see how the swordsmanship used by the gladiator differed from what he had learned.

Follow Ryan and Ridley? Scott's concept, although "Gladiator" is a Western-style fight like "The Lord of the Rings", it is more realistic, and there will be more shots of close combat.

All actors must reach Nicholas before starting their own roles? Powell's assessment standards, this is not only for the sake of the crew, but also for the safety of the actors, even if those prop swords are light swords made of aluminum alloy, but when cut on the body, it is not impossible to break bones.

After leaving Northampton, Ryan drove to another production area not too far away, Studio 9, where the Harry Potter crew is located, more than a year has passed since the crew was officially established, and the movie has not yet started.

There is no way to do this, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is the beginning of the whole series, and there is a lot of preparation to be done, costumes, props, sets, models and even the modeling of the actors, all have to be designed from scratch and then customized.

And then there are those young actors, not they can play the corresponding roles immediately after the audition, many of them have no real acting experience, and they also have to carry out some of the most basic training, from acting skills to psychological endurance, to how to use the age advantage to deal with the nasty paparazzi, all included.

Taylor comes here to participate in training after his weekly music routine, and the singers also need acting skills, and it can be used as a playful relaxation, after all, most of them are their peers.

"I promise, Ryan."

Chris? Columbus accompanied Ryan to a huge conference room and said, "The movie will be in time for next year's Christmas at the latest." ”

Ryan nodded, thinking of other aspects in his heart, there will be "Lord of the Rings 1" that will definitely be completed next year, in order to maximize profits, the schedules of these two movies must be staggered, otherwise it will be sad to fight with himself.

"They're getting out of class?" Walking to the front of the conference room, Ryan asked.

"Hmm~" Chris? Columbus nodded, "We are supervised by the relevant British agencies, and these little ones conduct their own studies in the morning and train in the afternoon. ”

When the two knocked on the door and entered, the order disappeared in an instant, and many people rushed over like a tide, surrounding Ryan, some asking for autographs for friends and others for photos for relatives......

"Quiet! Be quiet! ”

Chris? Columbus, the director, was still very authoritative, and the room suddenly fell silent, and then a little girl's disdainful voice came, "You're all about to become big stars, and you're still like little kids, you really haven't grown, Emma, don't you become like them." ”

The girl sitting next to her nodded and said cooperatively, "Self-confidence and pride are essential conditions for success, I still remember." ”

Ryan couldn't help but scratch his head a little, as if Taylor was making up some crooked reasoning to fool people again.

"Listen, you guys." Taylor's voice rang out again, "I have a lot of signed photos of Ryan, and if you want it, you can exchange all kinds of limited edition toys and dolls for ......"

After saying that, he deliberately stuck out his tongue at Ryan.

Ryan just smiled and made a shut-up gesture to her, and another active little girl jumped out again, "Everyone knows that Ryan is a very, very popular actor and an actor who is recognized for his excellent acting skills, so let's ask him to tell us how to be a good actor, okay?" ”

"Good!" The applause rang out.

Faced with these enthusiastic minors, Ryan thought for a moment and walked in front of them, and the room suddenly fell silent.

"A good actor, in addition to talent, relies more on his own exploration and honing during filming." Ryan has never been a theorist, and can only summarize based on past experience, "To become a good actor, the first thing is to be curious, because an actor should first be interested in the role, have a strong curiosity to explore the story and environment behind the role, and the inner world, and secondly, have empathy and put yourself in the shoes of the character to understand the character." ”

At the end, regardless of whether these little guys understand or not, he solemnly admonished, "It should also be noted that you don't need to be self in performance, if you are too strong in self, you will bring your own mentality into it, so that you will play all the roles as yourself." ”

With that, Ryan glanced at Taylor and walked out of the room.

As for how much the little ones can listen to and understand, it's not something he should worry about.

"Ryan, those teachers you're looking for are so old-fashioned." When Taylor came out with him, the first thing he said was to complain, "I'm not used to it." ”

However, when Ryan's eyes swept over her face, the little girl curled her neck and said, "Well, I'll admit, they're both very knowledgeable about music. ”

"My dear, if you want to build your own achievements in music in the future, hard work and study are essential factors."

Hearing Ryan's admonition, the little girl nodded solemnly. (To be continued......)
