Best Movie Star

Hearing Orlando Bloom's words, Matthew thought for a while and pretended to be very aggressive, "Faith can make thousands of people carry AK-47s and shoot indiscriminately, which one do you think is more powerful?

​​

A staff member came over at this time to inform the crew that the shuttle bus to and from the hotel had arrived. Matthew and the others stopped watching and chose to go back to the hotel to turn on the air conditioner. However, they did not rest after returning to the hotel. They went to the bar on the second floor of the hotel together. Rum invites Matthew, Ben Foster and James McAvoy for drinks.

​​

In the bar, the three people asked for low-alcohol cocktails, after all, this was during the filming.

​​

"I'm leaving Morocco tomorrow." Orlando Bloom put down his glass and said, "Maybe I won't be back until January next year."

​​

James McAvoy raised his glass, "Good luck."

​​

Ben Foster also said, "Orlando, good luck!"

​​

Matthew also raised his cup, "Good luck."

​​

The three of them drank the wine in the glass, chatted for a while, and then dispersed. There is still work waiting for tomorrow.

​​

Throughout November and the first half of December, Matthew has been shooting combat scenes in Morocco. Some of the combat scenes looked simple, but they were filmed in a variety of situations, especially when they were in the same frame with the black actors hired by the crew in Morocco. Black extras were always able to steal the limelight from GIs with grimacing, giggle and ecstasy, and filming had to be interrupted.

​​

Sometimes, Matthew also feels that these black people are born with a talent for being funny, but unfortunately they always use it in the wrong place.

​​

On the contrary, the unusually ecstatic belief shooting, which the black extras used extremely well, seemed to have a natural talent for using such cool shooting poses.

​​

In fact, in the original book he read, the American soldiers commented on the shooting skills of the African local armed forces, "Don't be afraid, their marksmanship is surprisingly bad, as long as you are careful not to be stoned", plus African The widely used AK-47 and 56-type submachine guns are also famous for their large recoil and difficult to control, resulting in the shooting effect is often appalling.

​​

Like this war.

​​

About 160 U.S. troops were besieged by 4,000 militants. The two sides fought fiercely for one day. 19 U.S. troops were killed and 70 wounded, while Somalia lost more than 1,000. The U.S. military can fight against more in this war, except for its own equipment and individual soldiers. In addition to being superior in quality, African black uncle's marksmanship also helped a lot.

​​

In mid-December, Matthew received a call from Helen Herman, who would come to visit his class before Christmas.

​​

This is also good news. For a month and a half, except for one day off every week, the filming was basically taking place. Some war scenes were filmed one after another for inexplicable reasons, which made people physically and mentally exhausted.

​​

Ben Foster once suggested to go out to find girls together, but was rejected by Matthew and James McAvoy unanimously. This is Africa, and if you don't want to get sick and go back, it's better to be more self-disciplined.

​​

As for the on-site development in the crew, don't even think about it. Among the cast members from North America, women can count them with two slaps. Half of them are over forty years old, and the other half are not mentioned.

​​

Among the extras hired, there are quite a few women, and the problem is that the local black women are all black women. For safety's sake, it's better to stay away.

​​

As the filming progressed, Matthew and Johnny Lee Miller also had the same scene, but with Ridley Scott on the set, both of them were very restrained. Had a private contact.

​​

Johnny Lee Miller asked for the tape again, and Matthew dragged it down again on the grounds that his girlfriend was not in Los Angeles. He vowed that when the two returned to Los Angeles, the tape would be returned to him.

​​

Anyway, after the filming was over, one shot and two scattered, Johnny Lee Miller couldn't chase after him every day to ask for this non-existent videotape, right? And that sort of thing Johnny Lee Miller hasn't been able to tell anyone.

​​

In December, at the media meeting convened by the crew, the department in charge of publicity also engaged in fake news.

​​

An actor who played a Ranger soldier received an anonymous letter at the door of the hotel during filming, thanking the crew and actors for their efforts, and asking them to faithfully reproduce the battle, signed as all the Rangers who died in battle .

​​

The letter and the actors who received the letter naturally appeared at the crew's media meeting, and were subsequently widely reported by the media, not only in entertainment news, but even on the pages of many current affairs news media.

​​

The crew successfully carried out a wave of pre-publicity, and many people noticed that "Black Hawk Down" was being filmed.

​​

As for whether the person who mailed the letter was a Ranger soldier, no one cares.

​​

The time is tight, the task is heavy, the extras are frequently out of order, and the filming of the entire crew is not smooth, and even slightly behind the plan, which is why Matthew has been staying in Morocco.

​​

Near the end of December, someone finally came to visit his class.

​​

"Ah, Helen..."

​​

In the restaurant of the hotel, when he saw Helen Herman in a professional suit, Matthew felt inexplicably kind, "I'm so happy to see you."

​​

Last week, James McAvoy and Ben Foster also left the set.

​​

"You look good." Helen Herman pointed to the chair opposite, "Sit!" After Matthew sat down, he added, "You are in good spirits."

​​

She pushed the menu to Matthew, and Matthew was polite, flipping through it and saying, "Have you not heard of it? This is called finding fun in the midst of boredom and pain, otherwise in a place like the desert where birds don't shit, it's not crazy. Impossible."

​​

Helen Herman looked at him and said, "I have a beard and look mature."

​​

Matthew touched his growing beard, "Need for filming."

​​

He doesn't have the power to take care of this beard himself, and even if it grows, he has to find a stylist to fix it.

​​

Probably Helen Herman also knew the situation of the crew and said, "Whatever you want, I'll treat you."

​​

She could see that her client was thinner and darker than when she filmed "The Mummy Returns".

​​

Matthew came back from the set and didn't eat lunch at all. When the waiter came over, he ordered several meat dishes one after another, all of which were mostly medium-to-high prices in the recipes, and he was not polite to Helen Herman at all.

​​

After Helen Herman ordered her own, she asked casually, "Did the filming go well?"

​​

"Fortunately, extras are a headache." Matthew rubbed his forehead and said, "Now when I see a black extra with a gun, I feel like I can collapse at any time."

​​

"It doesn't matter to me what I say." Helen Herman reminded him, "Don't talk nonsense outside, it will bring unnecessary trouble."

​​

Matthew put down his hand, took a sip from the water glass, "I know, I haven't talked to anyone for a week now, just to complain to you. I can't complain to Ridley Scott, right?"

​​

Helen Herman suddenly changed the subject, "Didn't your girlfriend come to see you?"

​​

"No." Matthew shook his head, "She's recording her second album and is busier than me."

​​

He went on to say, "Don't worry, we talk on the phone every day and our relationship is very stable."

​​

At this time, the waiter brought the dishes one after another. Matthew stopped for a while and concentrated on the food. He was really hungry. The film crew in Africa was not as good as in the UK. Although the standard of accommodation is not low, the dishes are sometimes unavoidable. Not to your taste.

​​

After eating half full, Matthew raised his head and asked, "Helen, you're not just here to visit me, are you?"

​​

Based on what he knew about Helen Herman, she probably came to visit the class just by the way, and there must be work-related issues.

​​

"I have something to do in the UK." Helen Herman is also very direct. "I think it's not far from North Africa, so I'll come and see you. I have a few things about work that I want to tell you."

​​

Matthew spread his hands, "I knew that was the case."

​​

Helen Herman ignored Matthew's words and started talking about work, "DreamWorks and HBO have confirmed the broadcast time of 'Band of Brothers', which is in the spring of next year, and they are currently preparing for a premiere. , intended to be held at Judea Beach in Normandy, and is said to have invited many veterans of the 101st Airborne Division."

​​

Matthew became interested as soon as he heard it, "Am I among the invitees?"

​​

"Of course." Helen-Hellman put down her knife and fork, picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth, and said, "The "Band of Brothers" crew has sent you an official invitation, and the invitation is in Burbank, waiting for you Go back and I'll bring it to you."

​​

Hearing what she said, Matthew said in a relaxed manner, "This is not in a hurry."

​​

Helen Herman turned a blind eye to all of this and continued, "The Mummy Returns has also confirmed its release date."

​​

"Really?" Matthew has been looking forward to the film's release as soon as possible, and asked, "When? Will it be summer next year?"

​​

"That's right, the summer season." Helen-Hellman remembered it clearly, without even thinking about it, "The North American release date is May 4th, and it is estimated that the world premiere will be held at the end of April, according to the contract you signed with the crew. Contract, you have to go to the premiere."

​​

Matthew immediately said, "Of course you will! You must participate!"

​​

A fool would let such a good opportunity not go~www.readwn.com~ and also. "Helen Herman does have a lot of work to do." Universal Pictures requires you to participate in pre-screening promotions. They will notify you ten days in advance of which announcements to participate in. "

​​

"That's fine." Matthew knew that this was an opportunity to increase his popularity. "You can help me coordinate the schedule then."

​​

He felt that he was 80% full, and put down his knife and fork. Now he was full and full, and Helen Herman brought all the good news, and he was in a pretty good mood.

​​

Thinking about the first half of next year, the two works in which he participated in one after another will enter the broadcasting stage, maybe they will become famous and walk on the road of Hollywood stars...

​​

How many people who enter this industry do not want to become famous and become a star? Maybe, maybe one in a thousand.

​​

"One last thing." Helen Herman said again, "I got a message that Jack Bruckheimer had several meetings with the top executives of Disney Pictures and Disney last month, and it is said that he may be planning New project, I have reliable sources, it could be a Disneyland related movie project.")!!
