In all the scenes in the morning, the Scorpion King was the protagonist. The filming went smoothly. Most of the scenes passed once or twice, and the planned work was finished before eleven o'clock. The crew took a temporary break and restarted after lunch. Assembly, the filming is still the scene of the Scorpion King.

​​

However, different from the morning, the scenes shot in the afternoon were mainly close-up close-ups of the Scorpion King.

​​

In the same way, the shooting was still very smooth. Stephen Sommers directed the crew and completed the shooting of four shots from 1:00 to 2:30. Three of them were shot once, and the most shot was only four times.

​​

The crew took a short break, and Stephen Sommers sat behind the director's monitor and continued to watch the finished footage.

​​

After seeing all the scenes, he is in a good mood. The progress of today's filming is beyond imagination. He originally thought that it would be good to have a new actor in the group and to complete half of the plan. I didn't expect this Matthew Horner to perform so well. , which is excellent and catches you off guard.

​​

"Being in such a state can only show..." Stephen Sommers is not a novice, but an experienced director, "Matthew Horner has prepared enough for this role, and he is also suitable for playing this type. character of."

​​

He sighed, this Matthew Horner's acting skills can only be said to be average, but his temperament and physical conditions are very suitable for the role of the Scorpion King, as if he was born to play this type of role.

​​

Suddenly, Stephen Sommers thought of what he saw on his resume, Matthew Horner in "Gladiator" directed by Ridley Scott, and Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg In the "Band of Brothers" produced by Grid, they have played powerful warrior-type characters.

​​

It shouldn't be a coincidence that both crews chose him to play this type of role, right?

​​

If it was Dwayne Johnson today, what would the shooting be like? Stephen Sommers couldn't help but come up with this idea, and he immediately had the answer in his mind. One had only his body and had never acted in a role;

​​

Stephen Sommers stopped thinking, stood up and walked around the set. After working for an hour and a half, he was also a little tired. Most of the people on the set were resting, or taking some special ways to relax. The studio It was quiet in the middle, and there was only one place where there were shouts.

​​

It was a circle of extras, and Stephen Sommers was curious and walked over to take a look. First he saw his action guide, and then a man in ancient Egyptian warrior costume - Matthew Horner.

​​

"You did a great job!" the action instructor said to Matthew Horner, who was holding the shield. "Yes, that's it! You need strength to use a sword!"

​​

Stephen Sommers looked across from the action guide. Matthew Horner made several shield and sword swings. These movements were not only powerful, but also showed excellent physical coordination, much like a long-term strike. Trained warrior.

​​

"It's really good." He nodded.

​​

But the actor over there didn't seem to be satisfied, and said to the action director, "I think it's still not flexible enough. Felipe, can you think of a way to make the action look more flexible?"

​​

Stephen Sommers has been hiding among the extras on the outside looking over there.

​​

"Pace, pay attention to your pace!" The action instructor's words came over again, "Didn't you just have two months of boxing training, take out your practice pace!"

​​

After hearing this, Stephen Sommers had a sudden realization. No wonder Matthew Horner is in better shape than before. It turned out that he went to train for two months after signing the contract.

​​

How many of today's young actors are so serious and dedicated? Thinking of most of the young actors he met, he shook his head.

​​

Stephen Sommers watched for a while, turned and left, returned to his director's seat, sat on the chair, and turned over the recent shooting plans.

​​

After filming the scene in the human form of The Scorpion King, and then filming the end of the film, he has not yet figured out whether to use the cgi and Matthew Horner's face cutout to make the Scorpion King, or to use actors Shot with green screen effects.

​​

At the earliest, because he was worried that Dwayne Johnson, a novice, would not be able to cope with the shooting method of actors and green screens, he planned to directly use cgi to generate the monster form of the Scorpion King.

​​

But this idea began to shake after the Scorpion King audition with makeup. Judging from today's shooting, Matthew Horner's ability is still acceptable. Should we use the method of shooting with actors and green screen? This effect is better than pure cgi generation, and it is cheaper.

​​

In this way, you can save another sum of money to continue to strengthen special effects production.

​​

Thinking of special effects production, Stephen Sommers frowned slightly. It was less than a day before Matthew Horner joined the team to shoot. Why is it that all he can think of is convenience?

​​

I won't talk about the filming. It's just the money. Using Matthew Horner to star in the Scorpion King saves a million dollars in remuneration to strengthen the post-production process. If the filming is done with actors and green screens, it can save a lot of money. Pen.

​​

The action director came over at this time and said, "Director..."

​​

Stephen Sommers asked, "Anything?"

​​

"The shooting of the next scene." The action director said as concisely as possible, "Matthew Horner suggested not to use stuntmen and let him complete all the action scenes himself."

​​

"He can?" Stephen Sommers asked.

​​

The action director is confident, "I don't think it's a problem, Matthew Horner went through systematic boxing training before coming to the crew, and his body coordination is very good!"

​​

Stephen Sommers frowned in thought.

​​

The action director suggested, "Would you like to try it? If the actor shoots himself, it will be less troublesome."

​​

Using a stunt double requires too many things, Stephen Sommers quickly made a decision, "Okay, let's try one first, and if it doesn't work, then shoot according to the original plan."

​​

The break is over and the shooting starts again.

​​

Many extras were standing on the sand in front of the green screen, ready to start the fight. Matthew stood in the middle of the most favorable location for filming, and finally checked the shields and swords in his hands. Three stuntmen dressed as ancient soldiers were already in place. When the shooting starts, they will rush over one after another.

​​

When the crew was ready, the action director gave Matthew a thumbs up, and then shouted, "Start!"

​​

In the quiet studio, I immediately thought of a sound of fighting, an extra with a scorpion mark, "fighting fiercely" with an extra in another costume.

​​

The first stuntman attacked from the side of Matthew, and the prop sword in his hand pierced his body.

​​

According to the pre-set routine, Matthew dodged and smashed the shield in his hand. The stuntman was very experienced. When the shield was about to hit him, he seemed to be slammed and flew out.

​​

The second stuntman rushed up, very fast and powerful. Matthew used a shield to separate his axe, and stabbed it with a sword. The stuntman fell to the ground.

​​

Then, the third stuntman appeared just at the right time, he flew up, and Matthew raised his shield, and with the strength of the stuntman's jump, he was lifted off.

​​

Killing three enemies like chopping melons and vegetables, Matthew directly rushed into the fighting circle of the extras.

​​

"Ka!" The action director in charge of the camera stopped, then looked at the director's monitor, saw Stephen Sommers nod, and then shouted, "OK! This one is over!"

​​

Matthew handed the sword to his left hand, walked to the last stuntman, stretched out his hand and pulled him up, and asked, "Are you okay?"

​​

The stuntman moved his shoulders, which seemed to hurt a little, but said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

​​

"That's good." Matthew also smiled.

​​

He is also friendly towards these stuntmen. These people are not easy, and they basically do the most dangerous work of the crew.

​​

Later, there are still several scenes to cooperate with these stuntmen.

​​

His excellent completion of the action scene also made director Stephen Sommers dispel all doubts. In the subsequent action scenes, Matthew did not use stunt doubles, and all played in person. Although he encountered some problems, he It's not a hassle, the filming of the Scorpion King scene has been going smoothly.

​​

After two consecutive days of filming, the Scorpion King's human form was completed nearly twice as fast as Stephen Sommers' plan.

​​

All of this is inseparable from Matthew's adequate preliminary preparations.

​​

Sometimes, when he thinks about it himself, he also thinks that he is very suitable for playing this type of role. This type of role mainly sells face, muscles and shows a strong temperament, and the requirements for acting are not too high.

​​

After this part of the scene was completed, Stephen Sommers also made up his mind, abandoning the plan to use CGI to generate the monster form of the Scorpion King, and instead using actors and green screens to shoot.

​​

The adjustment he made, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also needs the crew to prepare, this part of the scene is temporarily postponed, and the scene of the hero and heroine will be filmed first, but Matthew is not idle, he will come to the studio every day to observe the shooting and shooting Several main actors perform.

​​

During this period of time, Matthew made full use of his expertise, not only getting to know the main cast members of the crew such as Brand Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and Arnold Vosloo, but also getting to know them gradually.

​​

Perhaps it was because they had acted in "The Mummy" together. The atmosphere of the actors in this crew was relatively harmonious.

​​

Therefore, Matthew always showed his best side and gradually established a good reputation among the crew.

​​

Ten days later, the scene of the Scorpion King resumed, and it was also the filming of the finale of the film. After the filming of this part of the scene, Matthew could leave the crew, and the others had to rush to Morocco to continue to experience life in the African desert. .

​​

As before, the shooting of the scenes belonging to Matthew was basically smooth. Since he has been on the set, he has maintained a very good state, and his dedication to work has also won the praise of many people.
