Chapter 128: Faith Shot

"Boom—"

​​

In the sound of the explosion, countless pieces of dirt flew up and fell like raindrops, hitting Matthew's body and helmet. An actor next to him was shivering, seemingly frightened by the explosion, and did not move.

​​

The explosions during the shooting were all real shots. Although the actual power of the explosives was not great, under the control of the pyrotechnic team, the sound and power were quite astonishing. It is not an accident for new actors who have never experienced such a scene to be frightened.

​​

Matthew hugged the CAR-15 rifle with one hand, freed one hand, stretched out **** and pointed to his eyes, then pointed to the front, and said loudly, "Cover me!"

​​

Behind the director's monitor not far away, Ridley Scott was about to stop, but when he saw Matthew's action, he let the filming continue. It is normal for recruits who have experienced actual combat to have this kind of reaction. This shot can be used as one of the materials for post-editing.

​​

"Boom—"

​​

There was another explosion, followed by the sound of AK-47 shooting. Matthew looked up and shouted to the other actors dressed as Rangers, "Follow me!"

​​

After speaking, he took the lead in dodging out of the bunker, entered the street, lowered his body and ran forward, came to the corner of the street, knelt on one knee on the ground, shot in a very standard kneeling position, and pulled the trigger one after another.

​​

bang-bang-bang-

​​

The gunshots sounded one after another, and the shells jumped out and fell to the ground, but no bullets were fired. Of course, the CAR-15 in his hand was not a real bullet, but a blank bullet specially prepared by the crew.

​​

According to Matthew's understanding, there will be very little special effects used in the later stage of the film, and basically all the pictures are completed by real shooting. Ridley Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer are ambitious and want to restore the battlefield of the year. every detail.

​​

After a few shots, Matthew turned around and turned his head at the same time, "Lower your posture! Lower your posture!"

​​

He turned to another street with two soldiers.

​​

"Card!" Ridley-Scott shouted to stop filming, "This one is over!"

​​

Matthew stood up from the ground and took off his helmet. His head was covered in sweat. A makeup assistant immediately ran over and wiped off the sweat. His assistant in the crew came over with a water bottle. He is fully armed, and uses a straw-type water bottle, which will neither delay normal drinking nor make up.

​​

The actor who was petrified by the explosion was helped by someone in the back, and it seemed that he could no longer participate in the filming in a short time.

​​

The crew quickly adjusted the cameras, and the two cameras slid down the rails to the street where Matthew was.

​​

Ridley-Scott walked over unhurriedly, and asked the bearded man who was following him as he walked, "Is that person Matthew Horner recommended by Helen just now?"

​​

"Yes." Jack looked over there, "Hut's name is written on the helmet, can't be wrong."

​​

Each actor who plays a US soldier has the character's surname on the helmet, which director Ridley Scott designed for the audience to easily distinguish the characters, because everyone looks alike in the same solid military uniform.

​​

"He's good." Ridley-Scott was very satisfied with the shooting just now, "The response is very flexible."

​​

Jack said with a smile, "Helen's recommendation can't be wrong."

​​

Ridley-Scott nodded, stopped talking, and turned into another street.

​​

He went directly to the actor and said, "Come here! Come here!"

​​

Matthew immediately put on his helmet and came to Ridley-Scott. Two other actors came over, along with the film's military advisor.

​​

"Next, you need to lead the way for the gunships." Ridley-Scott demonstrated himself, came to the wall of a house near the street side, squatted down and pointed to the place where black extras gathered in front, and said , "You go along the wall, all the way there."

​​

Matthew squatted behind him and said quickly, "I understand."

​​

"Director Scott!" The military advisor suddenly said, "Sorry, Director Scott, such a scene design is not in line with the situation at the time."

​​

Ridley-Scott immediately stood up, "Oh? Talk about it."

​​

The purpose of inviting these military professionals from the Delta Force is to restore the battlefield as much as possible in the shooting, and let them help find errors in details.

​​

The military consultant was very responsible and said directly, "The Delta team wore a lightweight plastic helmet. Although it is not bulletproof, it has good anti-collision function. This helmet was named 'high-efficiency impact-resistant helmet' by the Special Operations Command. , Delta players will not stick to the wall in this case, because the wall will ricochet, and sometimes the bullet will fly far along the wall, and the hit rate of sticking to the wall is higher!"

​​

He paused, seeing that Ridley-Scott did not speak, and added, "It takes a lot of courage to stand in the middle of the street when the bullets are flying, and it takes a lot of courage to overcome the fear, and it is actually better to stand against the wall than to stand on the street. It's much more reassuring, and being able to overcome feelings and follow reason is one of the differences between Delta players and Rangers."

​​

Ridley-Scott thought for a while and said, "I see this, add a scene, let the Delta players talk about this to the Rangers, so that the audience can't understand this part of the scene because they don't understand it. "

​​

Jerry Bruckheimer did not interfere with the filming. The filming on the set was entirely dominated by Ridley Scott. This adjustment of the scenes based on the real situation was not a problem at all.

​​

However, this scene was not added to Matthew, and the filming began later. He led two soldiers in the middle of the street to charge forward, and the shooting was not completed until he exchanged fire with the black extras in front.

​​

Today, the scene that belongs to Sergeant Hut is over. Matthew first went to the makeup trailer to remove his makeup, and then went to the actor's rest area on the roof of a building to find James McAvoy sitting under the big umbrella.

​​

"Drink water." Ben Foster threw a bottle of iced mineral water over. After Matthew went on, he sat on a chair next to Orlando Bloom, unscrewed it and took a sip, feeling cool Straight to the bottom of my heart, "How cool!"

​​

Orlando Bloom gestured to the ice cream in his hand, "Want a box?"

​​

Matthew shook his head, "No need."

​​

A series of crackling gunshots suddenly sounded on the street not far away, and the shooting continued. Several people, including Matthew, also looked over there.

​​

"The poses of those black actors shooting guns..." Ben Foster can't seem to find the right adjective.

​​

Orlando Bloom pouted, "They're playing militias with little training." He glanced at the filming set and added, "Most militias don't have formal shooting training, they only take Shooting and sweeping, so the hit rate is very low, which is why more than 100 American soldiers were surrounded by thousands of militiamen, but only 19 were killed in action.”

​​

"There's one thing I still don't understand." James McAvoy pointed to the black actors on the set who were using AK-47s to shoot, "Why do black people always like to shoot guns above their heads? Not just movies, many The same goes for the black people in the news footage."

​​

Orlando Bloom said, "It seems to be the case."

​​

Ben Foster shook his head, "I don't know."

​​

Matthew put down the water bottle and said, "I thought about this."

​​

The other three looked over, and James McAvoy asked curiously, "Have you considered it?"

​​

Matthew is really not babbling. When he saw wars and conflicts in Africa, especially in the sub-Saharan region from the news, he always found a very strange scene, that is, Africans rarely raise their guns to aim, but Holding the gun high above the head to shoot, such an ecstatic posture is really novel.

​​

He checked it on a smartphone specifically for this purpose.

​​

"Tell me about it." Orlando Bloom urged.

​​

"The reason, I summed up three aspects." Matthew stretched out a finger, "belief and cultural issues. In many parts of Africa, due to the low level of education, modern weapons, including firearms and RPGs, are a supernatural ability. It's just white magic or some kind of witchcraft they don't know that can kill people, and they have absolutely no idea how these weapons work. So, just pick up the gun and fire it in the general direction, target It will be destroyed in response, no need to aim at all."

​​

The other three laughed, obviously not believing this.

​​

"Don't believe it!" Matthew looked serious, "I saw it on a military program. In Africa, except for a few regular soldiers, most people are convinced of this idea, and some even believe that: using cloth The strip is soaked in sheep's blood and tied to a gun, and you can kill your target with one shot, no matter whether the enemy buys a bulletproof spell for you, or whether you aim or not. It doesn't matter a penny."

​​

Then, he raised his second finger, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "The ecstasy is very cool! Africans are optimistic by nature, expressive, and like to follow trends. Even during the war, there are many well-dressed African fashions. Experts shuttled through the ruins, and Africans also brought the characteristics of being cool and pursuing individuality to the battlefield."

​​

The three guys were already laughing.

​​

"Think about it..." Matthew continued, "In the battlefield, with bright clothes and bizarre hairstyles, plus the submachine gun in his hand is under the blessing of the witch doctor's mana, every shot is perfect. At this time, what posture to shoot with is already It doesn't matter anymore, fighting has become an art, raising a gun over your head shows strength and courage, scaring your enemies to pieces."

​​

He raised a third finger again, "Okay, the joke is over, seriously. The real reason should be the lack of training and no one to teach. African soldiers, whether regular or privately armed, receive very little military training. , there is no instructor to tell them how to use guns correctly, and no one tells them how guns kill people."

​​

James McAvoy nodded, "Just the last one."
