Best Movie Star

Chapter 60: Temperament is the soul of image

(Eight thousand has been collected, continue to ask for support! The more recommended tickets, the better!)

In the face of fierce competition, let alone winning, even if you want to have the hope of winning, you must be 100% prepared. Since the crew of "Band of Brothers" is still in the initial preparation stage, all kinds of information are strictly controlled. The information at hand was obtained by Helen Herman with great effort.

Although these cannot guarantee that he will pass the audition, if he does not study carefully, the chance of passing the audition will be even smaller.

In the next few days, Matthew spent the rest of his time studying the information provided by Helen Herman, except for the performance class.

Although these materials are not particularly detailed, they have relevant descriptions ranging from the background of the project of "Band of Brothers" to the settings of some supporting roles.

Matthew felt that Helen Herman was quite powerful to be able to get such a document before the audition.

Helen Herman first noted for Matthew in the material that it was the three most powerful people in the crew, namely Gary Goldzman, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. These three people It has almost all the personnel rights, shooting rights and production rights of the cast and crew.

The three have a good relationship. Tom Hanks and Gary Goldzman have collaborated on "Philadelphia Story" and "Unstoppable Miracles"; Tom Hanks and Spielberg have collaborated on "Saving Private Ryan" ", and according to the information, the two will continue to cooperate in addition to "Band of Brothers".

In addition, Helen Herman also noted that Tom Hanks is not only the producer of "Band of Brothers", but also the director of one of the episodes.

She analyzed that Tom Hanks is the leader of the entire series.

In other words, if you can get Tom Hanks, as long as his performance in the audition is above the standard line, there is still a great chance of getting the role of Ronald Spears.

The question is how to get Tom Hanks? Helen Herman has made it clear that she is no match for people at the level of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

As for Matthew himself, it is not to belittle himself. His position in the industry with these two people is estimated to be separated by the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe even the Indian Ocean should be counted.

Can you rely on the advantages of foresight and perform appropriate operations like the actor who got the Britney MV? Matthew revisited his memories of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, who were famous, but had no impression of the related gossip.

Moreover, the two of them are not young, and they are both people with rich social experience and experience. If they use such low-level means to deal with Britney, they will probably ask for trouble.

Matthew thought about the information for a long time without any clue.

No wonder Helen Herman asked him to do his best when he auditioned, which may be the only chance to win.

Those crooked paths in the past could not be taken, so Matthew simply put it aside and continued to read other materials, especially about the character settings.

Helen Herman got word from Eric Polk that the overall style of "Band of Brothers" will follow Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks' "Saving Private Ryan", but with The fictional story of "Saving Private Ryan" is different. "Band of Brothers" is adapted from a real story. Each character has a prototype character with the same name and surname. Even Tom Hanks plans to let the prototype "supervise" when shooting some scenes to ensure that True restoration.

In terms of the plot, due to the confidentiality of the crew, Helen-Hellman only got a very simple outline of the story, which is roughly that the play focuses on the European battlefield of World War II, and tells the story of the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion E, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne Division of the US Army from the training camp in Georgia. The story of 434 days of the European battlefield.

The most useful information in this regard is that each episode of the mini-series has relatively concentrated characters. Through the intensified description of the characters, it shows the progress of the war while always grasping the psychology and state of the characters, and using the characters to support the war scenes in the play 's recovery.

In other words, each episode will have a relative protagonist.

Will the character of Ronald Spears be the star of one of the episodes? Matthew naturally thought of the role he was going to compete for, but unfortunately, like the specific plot, this is the highly confidential information of the crew, and Helen Herman couldn't get it at all.

Another point, Helen Herman also found out that in addition to the book "Band of Brothers", the diary and memoirs of E company soldier David Kenyon Webster were also an important source of script creation.

Unfortunately, this diary memoir is already in the hands of the crew, and she is still trying to find a copy.

Looking at the description above, Matthew can only sigh with emotion. Helen Herman is a bit arrogant, and the way she speaks like squeezing toothpaste is also very annoying, but in terms of seriousness and responsibility, there is basically nothing to fault.

The information is very thick, Helen Herman's preparations are very meticulous, Matthew continued to scroll back, and then saw a message that would increase his confidence.

The three producers, Gary Goldzman, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, have reached an agreement on the actors. In order to avoid the actor's popularity blurring the true color of "Band of Brothers", the crew will select most of the actors. Actors less familiar to the audience to enhance authenticity and persuasion.

"No wonder Helen asked me to fight for such an important role." Matthew nodded secretly, "It's not that there is no chance at all."

Next is the character situation. Helen Herman has been absolutely certain that Richard Winters will be the absolute protagonist of this show.

Other character introductions Matthew just looked at it briefly, and then focused on the role of Ronald Spears that he was going to compete for.

Helen Herman also pointed to another disadvantage of Matthew's competition for the role, that he is relatively young.

However, this is not a big problem. Helen Herman believes that he is mentally mature and his appearance is not a problem in the face of Hollywood makeup.

Besides, for Westerners, the difference between being in your twenties and those in your twenties is not very big.

There are general settings on the data. In addition to what Helen Hermann said, it is also indicated that this is a tough soldier with super combat effectiveness. He used to serve in D Company. The commander of the E company was panicked, and Spears stepped forward and was temporarily assigned as the commander of the E company.

In addition, Helen-Hellman specially noted that this person was rumored to have killed German prisoners of war.

"Have you killed prisoners of war?"

The information provided in the data is actually very limited. To learn more about this character, Matthew felt that he should study the original work of "Band of Brothers" carefully.

If Matthew had been asked to read such a novel a few months ago, he would have had a great headache. Fortunately, after several months of persistent reading practice, he dared not say that his reading level has improved by leaps and bounds. Not very difficult.

Not only did he do his own research, but Matthew's own level was limited. In addition to the acting class, he specially went to ask the teacher David Astor.

Matthew chose to tell David Astor about the audition and the role.

"You mean you got an audition for Spielberg and Tom Hanks' Band of Brothers?"

In the office, David Astor touched his bald head and said to Matthew, "This is a rare opportunity. If you grasp it, it will be very helpful to your future career development."

Matthew looked sad, "I also want to hold it, but there may be dozens of people competing for this role." He thought about it and said directly, "Mr. Astor, I came here to ask you, how are you doing? Can you better grasp the role of an iron-blooded soldier?"

"The role of the Jagged Soldier..." David Astor glanced at Matthew and said, "Your appearance has a natural advantage, but this advantage is basically useless during auditions, and a crew of this level can participate. Actors who are competing for auditions will definitely not be bad for their appearance and their roles.”

Matthew nodded, "You know, my qualifications are relatively low, and I'm a lot worse than most people. I can only think of ways to perform in auditions."

"Audition performance is still very important to the competition for the role." David - Astor asked again, "If the decision of your audition is in the hands of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, the audition The weight of performance will be heavier!"

The other party is an old showman. He has worked hard in Hollywood for decades. Matthew believes that his experience may help him and asks, "Why?"

David Astor smiled and said, "At the level of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg~www.readwn.com~ There are very few people and things that can impress them. It's just a small supporting role. If a big man wants to get through their relationship to get this role, he needs to pay a huge favor. What will be the favor of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg in the future? For such a Is it worth it for a small character to owe such a big favor?"

Matthew thought about it, if he had enough weight to speak in front of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, he would definitely not want to owe them a debt of gratitude for such a trivial matter.

According to the customs on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the debts of friendship are often the most difficult to repay, so there must be something in common here.

"Let's still talk about the characters, the tough-guy iron-blooded soldiers, especially the realistic type of World War II, the performances can't tolerate the slightest joke, ridicule and artificiality."

David Astor used decades of experience to help Matthew analyze, "In this type of role, the temperament is the soul of the image! Without the strong temperament of a soldier, the performance will not be in place and tasteless!"

He recalled for a while and said, "Matthew, I have participated in the shooting of several WWII films. From my understanding, only actors who have real experience, dare to work hard, and spare no effort can match the image of the Jagged Army."

Matthew nodded. Although what David Astor said was not a profound thing, it did help him.

"If you talk too much, it will easily interfere with you." David Astor shook his head with a smile, "Matthew, that's all I can say, the rest is up to you."

"Thank you." Matthew stood up and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Astor, your words have helped me a lot."

Afterwards, he left David Astor's office and was about to call Helen Herman to communicate.
