Best Movie Star

In order to make the actors feel at ease in their training without being disturbed, the crew specially rented a small studio in Warner Studios, which was transformed into a temporary training venue after simple adjustments. The sponge pad ensures that the actor does not get hurt. m.

Matthew changed into his training uniform, came out of the locker room, and saw the assistant the crew provided for him.

It was a Chinese girl with short and medium black hair. After seeing him, she took the initiative to say hello, "Hi, Matthew, we meet again."

Matthew was in a good mood when he saw someone he knew as his assistant, and immediately responded, "It's nice to see you, Mira."

He walked over and asked, "Have you decided to come to Hollywood to develop?"

Mila Wang took the work bag from Matthew's hand, followed him, and said, "I came to Los Angeles only this month, and I came here after seeing the job advertisement of the crew in the newspaper. I was in the crew before. However, they happily accepted me."

The other actors and action director Tim Madsen hadn't arrived yet. Matthew and the two temporarily went to the rest area on the edge of the arena and found a random seat to sit down and wait. Mira began to organize the work package skillfully.

"The old way?" Mira asked.

Matthew nodded slightly, "Just do whatever you want."

He doesn't have too high demands on this.

Mila took out the towel for wiping sweat, put it on the shelf next to it, took out the water glass, looked at how much water was in it, and asked, "The crew has prepared a special energy drink."

Seeing that Matthew had no objection, she went to the eating area to get electrolyte drinks and food for energy.

At this time, the other actors entered the training hall one after another, and Matthew looked at them quickly. The first thing he saw was the heroine.

The heroine has black hair, is estimated to be in her thirties, and looks like Asian or mixed race.

The other three actors are relatively familiar, and they may have met at the Angel Agency. They should be the three actors recommended by Helen Herman to the crew.

Of the three actors, one is rather vulgar, one is tall and fat, and the other is very lean in his thirties.

Although the complexion of these three people is not white, Matthew can tell that they are all white actors.

Fortunately, black people have not been spoiled by Hollywood in this day and age. In the years when he paid attention to Hollywood entertainment gossip, in such a medium-sized production crew, none of the main actors were black, and maybe they would be black uncles in the circle. They are outraged by racism.

Behind them, there are some actors, who are basically young actors with action scenes in the crew.

Soon, the action director Tim Madsen also arrived. He explained a few words to the action director group, and the actors were quickly divided into different groups.

Male protagonists like Matthew are of course directed by Tim Madsen himself, and several other main actors are also trained by special personnel.

"I watched all the shots you shot on set."

The two of them occupied a full one-third of the training hall, and Tim Madsen stood in the middle and said to Matthew, "I have specially developed a movement routine for you that combines agility and strength."

Matthew knows that the action routines of filming are completely different from actual combat, and he does not think he is great just because he has practiced boxing and kickboxing. Maybe Tim Madsen, who is thin, can't beat him in actual combat with bare hands. One, but definitely a pro when it comes to motion design for the film.

"In the action scenes of the script, you are often faced with a situation where one picks more than one." Tim Madsen explained in detail, "Moryos is a powerful killer and warrior, but he does not break away from the category of human beings. In the case of a large number of people, it is impossible to face the enemy head-on, and fighting and escaping are necessary."

"Yeah." Matthew nodded, "Tim, what you just said is not intuitive enough. Why don't you do it like this, can you practice it?"

Of course, Tim Madsen would not refuse, "Yes."

Then, he brought the knives, spears, bows and arrows and other props successively, and demonstrated some carefully designed action routines.

"Is it okay?" Tim Madsen asked, shooting an arrow at the end, "How do you feel?"

Matthew raised a thumb, "Very wonderful."

The action in the movie must be viewed first. Although this movie adopts realistic fighting and rejects fancy dance, it will not be like the Hollywood movies in the 1970s and 1980s. Many action scenes are unsightly.

Then, under the guidance of Tim Madsen, Matthew started some basic training, such as the posture of holding a knife, how to draw a bow, etc., all of which must be done well, otherwise they will be in the camera. It's a joke.

Compared with his absolute protagonist, the training of other actors is much easier.

After all, this is shooting a movie, not for the actors to participate in the Bosera Contest.

Matthew came to a large mirror with a prop knife and practiced the action of drawing the knife continuously. Not far away, the black-haired actress who played the leading role was standing in front of the mirror and was stretching her muscles. He blinked. Looking at it, this actress is very easy to do several high kicks. It is guessed that she has either specially trained before or is a dancer.

The actress also noticed Matthew and came over while he was resting.

"Hi..." She took the initiative to say hello.

Matthew also responded politely, "Hello." He thought for a moment and introduced himself, "Matthew Horner."

"Kelly-Hu." The actress also introduced herself.

After looking at her without a trace, Matthew pointed to the place where she was just now and asked, "Have you practiced dancing?"

Despite wearing loose training clothes, he could still tell that the actress was well-built and gave off an indescribable feeling.

"No." Kelly Hu shook her head first, then said, "I am a black belt in karate."

Matthew was stunned for a moment, this woman didn't look alike at all, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's surprising."

Kelly-Hu looked at Matthew and said, "I heard from the crew that you practiced boxing and kickboxing."

"I'm just a hobby." Matthew said in his heart that this woman wouldn't have a problem with her head, so she wanted to come over and try to figure it out for herself, "I practice and play when I have nothing to do."

It turns out that he thinks too much, and Kelly-Hu said, "This will help with the action scenes?"

Matthew nodded lightly, "Yeah." He looked at Kelly Hu's oriental face and asked, "Are you Chinese?"

Kelly-Hu admitted generously, "I have a quarter of Chinese ancestry, and my great-grandfather is Chinese."

Matthew pointed to her hair tied into a ponytail, "No wonder you have beautiful long black hair."

He was just about to take a break, so he just stood here and chatted with Kelly Hu for a while. Kelly Hu is the heroine and will have a lot of opposite scenes with him in the future filming. Familiarity with him now will also help in future filming.

After chatting for a while, Matthew also learned some basic information about Kelly Hu. For example, although she is of Chinese descent, she doesn't speak Chinese. Because she has practiced karate and Japanese swordsmanship, she has a better impression of Japan.

After about ten minutes, the two returned to their respective areas and continued their respective exercises.

After Matthew practiced for a while drawing and playing knives, Tim Madsen was worried that the actor would be bored, so he temporarily changed his bow and arrow practice as a remedy.

The training hall, which was temporarily converted from a studio, has a huge area, and the areas on the four walls also have their own divisions of labor. The side near the dressing room and the dressing room is the temporary resting place for the actors. There are entrances and exits on the left and right sides. There is a solid wall, and a target is erected on the side of the wall, which acts as a practice for the actors.

Picking up a recurve bow, Matthew followed Tim Madsen's teaching, put on a prop arrow, clasped it between his fingers, and pulled the bowstring.

The wooden bow looked very hard, but it was soft when pulled. Matthew easily pulled it into a full moon, aimed at the target not far away, and loosened the bowstring.

The arrow flew out with a whistle, brushed the target, and hit the wall.

Then, he drew out a second arrow and bent the bow again. This time, his aim was better, and the arrow hit the target.

It's a pity that the arrows are all blunt and can't hit the target at all.

After a morning of training, Matthew returned to the resting place. Mila handed over the towel immediately. He took it and wiped the sweat, and then took the cup that Mila sent him and took a sip~www.readwn.com~ Said, "Come on, let's go to lunch together."

Seeing that Mira didn't move, he said, "See you again after a long time, I'll treat you to me."

Today's training session is over, Ma Xiu is about to go to the locker room to change clothes, and three actors who belong to the Angel Agency with him come over.

"Hi, Matthew." The one who looked a little sleazy said, "We meet again."

Matthew didn't remember where he saw him, so he said with a smile, "Yeah."

Mira stood very close behind him and reminded in a low voice, "Duff Villa."

Matthew remained calm and reached out his hand, "Duff, it feels great that we can work together."

Duff Villa quickly shook his hand, "I think so too." He then introduced Matthew to the other two actors, first pointing to the tall man and saying, "This is Clark Bernard. "He pointed to the very strong one and said, "This is Steven Brand."

In the future, I was going to work in the same production crew, and Matthew also politely shook hands with the two of them.

However, the two are obviously not as good at communicating as Dave Villa, the tall Clark Bernard is fine, and the sturdy Steven Brand has been tensed and seems to have a problem with him. .

But Matthew didn't care very much, these three people were not on the same level as him at all.

A few people exchanged a few words, Matthew and Mira took the lead to leave, and the other three looked at their backs and did not leave for a long time.

"Don't think about it." Duff-Villa reminded, "Let's go."
