Best Movie Star

Chapter 14: some talent

After sending people off early in the morning, Matthew hurried to Universal Studios and joined his agent Dennis Coulter. He didn't say a word about what happened yesterday, and it's useless to mention it now, accompanied by his agent Next, I signed an agreement with the crew, put on my make-up and put on a white coat, and entered the studio to wait for the shooting to start.

Perhaps it was because the character had lines. The assistant director also gave him a character script, but it was only one page with a few lines written on it.

The role of this role is very simple, walking across the corridor with the heroine of Winona Ryder and entering the room of the supporting actress Angelina Jolie.

To get this role, Matthew's role is more important than that of an extra, but he is not as good as an ordinary role actor.

Matthew was still wearing the same white coat as yesterday. He was standing outside the filming site reading the script. Dennis Coulter stuck his head out from behind and aimed his eyes at the script.

"Not only a frontal close-up, but also two lines!" Dennis Coulter opened his mouth in surprise and muttered in a low voice, "A role like this needs to undergo a formal audition, or it has something to do with the crew..."

Matthew shrugged and said nothing.

Dennis Coulter looked at him in surprise. Yesterday, Winona Ryder pushed him out. As a result, it turned 180 degrees at night. What is the origin of this man named Matthew Horner?

Something to do with Angelina Jolie? He shook his head, Angelina Jolie is just a supporting actress, she can't fight against Winona Ryder at all!

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. Could it be that Matthew has something to do with another producer, Georgia Kaikendis?

The more Dennis Coulter thinks about it, the more likely it is. Otherwise, there is no way to explain all this. It is impossible that the executives of Sony Columbia Pictures directly intervened, right?

Unable to contain the curiosity in his heart, he leaned into Matthew's ear and asked in a low voice, "Do you know Georgia Kaikendis?"

Matthew turned his head and smiled at Dennis Coulter, but said nothing, neither admitted nor denied.

Dennis Coulter immediately decided that he was acquiescing, and quickly figured out how to make a profit? One thing he's very clear about is to keep Matthew Horner happy and not be as botched as he was yesterday.

"That... Matthew." He felt that he should explain, "Yesterday, I was really in a hurry..."

"I know." Matthew played the script and said, "I'm memorizing lines."

Dennis Coulter immediately raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't bother you."

Matthew didn't speak. He looked at the script of the character seriously, and memorized every place firmly. The script was very simple, and it was not a problem to understand it. The lines were only two sentences, and they were not complicated.

After waiting for a while, Angelina Jolie came to the set, Matthew smiled at her, Angelina Jolie nodded slightly, just like yesterday, the actress and producer Winona Ryder was the last to arrive.

Director James Mangold made the preparations for the shooting, called the actors together to talk, and Matthew was also called over.

"Let's walk through it again." James Mangold asked several actors to follow him, entered the corridor, and came to the door of the first room, said, "In this scene, the heroine and the supporting actress do not know each other. Winona, your character is very curious about the supporting actress and sees the male nurse walking towards the supporting actress' room."

He pointed to Matthew, "Follow his back and look back until he enters Lisa's room."

Winona Ryder nodded lightly, this kind of play was too easy for her.

James Mangold gestured for the door, "The two characters passed by in this position."

He looked at Matthew, "You keep walking along the corridor, neither too fast nor too slow, you can walk at a normal speed, and then enter the room, understand?"

Matthew said quickly, "Understood."

James Mangold gestured to the assistant, then said, "Well, let's walk through it first."

Then, an assistant director came to arrange their positions. Matthew knew that he couldn't mess around and did exactly what the crew asked.

Angelina Jolie entered the room, Winona Ryder stood at the door of the previous room, Matthew took the medicine box handed over by the props, and waited in the hall where yesterday's shooting was done.

There are two cameramen ready to take their place, and someone else is standing beside him with a visor.

Although it is a walking position, it looks no different from the official shooting.

Seeing this, Matthew was somewhat nervous, his legs trembled slightly. Although he wanted to be a Hollywood star, lying on the pile of money and rolling among the beauties, this was the first time he performed in front of the camera.

Nervousness is a normal emotion.

"Just relax." The crew was still making the final preparations, and the person holding the visor beside Matthew suddenly reminded in a low voice, "Your play is very simple, relax and be natural."

Matthew turned his head, smiled at him, and nodded again.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly. It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to give charcoal in the snow. Yesterday everyone avoided him, but today someone took the initiative to remind him...

"start!"

James Mangold's voice sounded, and Matthew quickly threw away his nonsense, raised his feet and walked forward, but just after taking the first step, James Mangold's voice rang again, "Stop!"

He looked at Matthew, "You're slow!"

Matthew smiled embarrassedly. Just as he was about to say something, James Mangold said loudly, "Go back and start again!"

No one was talking much. Whether it was the actors or the staff behind the scenes, they quickly returned to their respective positions. Matthew stopped thinking about it this time and concentrated on waiting for the director's order.

"start!"

With James Mangold's order, the crew immediately started running.

Matthew walked towards the front corridor, and Winona Ryder was approaching. When the two were about to meet, Winona Ryder turned to look at Matthew, and the camera that shot her was like her eyes. , also turned around.

The camera moved, and Matthew noticed immediately.

"Stop!" James Mangold shouted, "Look at the camera!"

Matthew knew that the director was talking about himself, so he quickly said apologetically, "I subconsciously..."

"Pay attention next time!" James Mangold seemed to have a good temper. "All departments return to their positions, and do it all over again!"

Although he is only a filming director on the set, he knows the dynamics of the crew very well. Winona Ryder actually bowed her head to Angelina Jolie. It is said that it was this little acting who entered Winona with Jolie last night. - Ryder's office, what happened in the middle no one knew, but the results were obvious.

James Mangold doesn't want to get involved in these nasty things, a small acting is fine.

Matthew went back to the starting point. Dennis Coulter was standing nearby. When he saw him coming back, he said, "Don't be nervous! You don't have to act! You walk and talk like you usually do! Don't think it's a show!"

Taking a deep breath twice, the circus nodded lightly. This manager has a personality problem, so what he said now is more credible.

The rest of the crew did not return to their positions as quickly as the actors. Matthew stood here, slowly adjusting his breathing, letting go of those messy thoughts. He didn't think about anything, and his mind gradually went blank. The slight tremor stopped, and some of the nervousness was also relaxed.

After James Mangold shouted the start again, all Matthew's nervousness disappeared, and he stepped forward. In his eyes, there was no camera, no director, no agent, not even the oncoming Winona. -Ryder, just walk forward on your own.

He passed Winona Ryder and walked straight towards the room where Angelina Jolie was, Winona Ryder turned to look at Matthew, and the camera followed Winona Ryder Turn and follow Matthew's tall back to shoot.

Matthew turned into Angelina Jolie's room and said in a normal tone of voice, "Lisa, you must take your medicine on time! Otherwise, I will report to Dr. Potts."

These are his two lines.

"stop!"

Hearing this voice, Matthew shook his head, and then heard James Mangold announce, "This one is over!"

Matthew wondered, "It's over? Isn't this a move?"

"It's normal." Angelina Jolie on the opposite side seemed to have heard him. "When you take a suitable shot, the director will also use it."

She stood up, "In Hollywood, time is money."

Matthew smiled and said politely, "Thank you."

Although Angelina Jolie has always drawn a clear line with him, and sometimes shows a high-profile appearance, in this crew, it is relatively friendly to him.

Matthew guessed that maybe he did help Angelina Jolie a few times before and after. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

Angelina Jolie walked out of the semi-enclosed room to film the next scene, but Matthew's work on the crew was declared complete.

However, he signed a daily wage contract, and even if he worked for less than half a morning, he would still be paid $200.

"It would be great if I had two hundred dollars a day." Matthew sighed with emotion, "If you earn more than five thousand dollars a month, you will be at ease."

Unfortunately, this kind of job opportunity does not come every day. For an extra who just entered the industry, it may not be encountered once in a few months.

"Great performance!"

On the outside of the set, Dennis Coulter followed next to Matthew, with a fat face smiling so much that he could not see his facial features.

"Really?" Matthew asked, then laughed, the fat man was obviously trying to please him.

Dennis Coulter said seriously, "Judging from my experience, you have some talent in this area! I can't say how good the talent is, it's okay to be above average."

Matthew didn't take it seriously at all. Dennis Coulter asked him, "Are you going?"

"I'll watch it here." Matthew didn't think about leaving immediately, and he didn't know when the next time he would enter the studio.

Dennis Coulter hesitated, but still said, "I'm leaving, and I have to deal with your salary."

Matthew nodded, "You go first."

The crew was preparing for the next shooting. Matthew stood on the periphery of the set, his eyes were basically spinning on Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie. These famous stars are all targets for learning.

Suddenly, someone walked up to him and asked, "Are you Matthew Horner?"
