Chapter 86: well done

Ask for a recommendation ticket!

For his role, Matthew has made adequate preparations in the past few months, and Ronald Spears is also a role carefully chosen by Helen Herman combining his own strengths and weaknesses. The expression on his face most of the time is gritty, without much adjustment from the actor.

This can properly cover up the shortcomings of Matthew's lack of acting skills.

Matthew stood on the side of the two main actors, Damian Lewis and Neil MacDonald, waiting for filming to begin.

He has been preparing for so long and is looking forward to the shooting.

"'Band of Brothers', episode 2, scene 11, act 5, start now!"

The moment the sound of the record sounded, Matthew immediately entered the state. He had practiced this scene in front of the mirror no less than twenty times, and he was already familiar with it.

Different from his self-rehearsal, there are more actors and cameras around him, but he is not a newcomer and will not make the low-level mistake of looking at the camera lens again.

"Lieutenant Spears!" Damian Lewis looked at Matthew and asked, "How are you over there?"

Matthew shook his head slightly, "Not very good."

Damian Lewis asked again, "How many people have D Company assembled?"

Matthew's face showed helplessness, "Not many people, about twenty..."

"Stop!" Director Richard Longklein shouted to stop filming, "No!"

Hearing this, Matthew immediately got rid of his role and quickly recalled his performance just now, trying to find out where he made a mistake.

After all, the director called to stop when he was speaking.

Director Richard Longklein stood up and waved to the three actors in front of the camera, "It has nothing to do with you, there is a problem with the scene design."

He came between Matthew and Damian Lewis, looked at Matthew first, then Damian Lewis, frowning and thinking.

Matthew subconsciously wanted to touch his face, but suddenly realized that there was still camouflage on his face, so he had to touch his helmet.

"Redesign the scene!" Richard Longklein walked out from between Matthew and Damian Lewis, "I want to adjust the scene."

In the original scene, Ronald Spears, played by Ma Jiao, stood here, said a few words to Damian Lewis and left, and then went to the German prisoner of war, which can be regarded as the introduction of this role.

Richard Longklein obviously has his own ideas. After a brief exchange with Tom Hanks, he also received support from Tom Hanks.

As for the opinions of the actors, including Damian Lewis, all three of them are not well-known actors and can basically be ignored.

In the vast majority of cases, actors can't get in.

Soon, Richard Longklein completed the adjustment and came to the middle of the three actors again.

He first looked at Matthew and said, "Don't stand here when filming starts."

Matthew thought he was going to delete Ronald Spears' role here, and was a little conflicted, but he nodded and said, "Okay."

Richard Longklein turned to Damian Lewis and Neil MacDonald and said, "You continue the conversation in the last scene about Lieutenant Meehan and the Supreme Commander of E Company."

Damian Lewis and Neil MacDonald have no problem.

"Matthew!" Richard Longklein turned around again, pointing to Damian Lewis and Neil MacDonald, "Come over from the battalion headquarters and wait for the two of them to finish their discussion. When you come over, your lines remain the same."

He personally demonstrated the position, and then said to Matthew, "When you leave, remember to ask them for cigarettes, and you will give the Germans cigarettes next time."

"I see." Matthew said.

His role was not cut, but a little bit more than in the script.

"Okay!" Richard Longklein returned to the director's position and shouted, "You practice once."

Matthew quickly got acquainted with the new design with Damian Lewis and Neil MacDonald before filming resumed.

This time, Matthew stood outside the camera toward the battalion headquarters, listening carefully to the conversation between Damian Lewis and Neil MacDonald.

"...If he goes missing, Dick," Neil MacDonald said to Damian Lewis, "Aren't you the top commander of E Company?"

Hearing this, Matthew walked over immediately. When he was near the two, Damian Lewis turned his head to look at it just right, and took the initiative to say hello, "Hi, Lieutenant Spears."

Matthew came to him and shook hands with Damian Lewis, "Hi, Dick."

Damian Lewis asked, "How many people has D Company assembled?"

"Not too many." Matthew's face was basically expressionless, "About twenty people."

"You're the only officer?" Damian Lewis asked again.

Matthew nodded lightly, "For now, yes." He deliberately paused and said, "Still waiting for the order."

From the very beginning to the present, he has no unnecessary movements or expressions, and he is as cold as a rock.

In the film and television works and related materials studied by Matthew, the Jagged Soldiers are basically like this.

He took the initiative to ask, "Do you have a cigarette?"

Damian Lewis shook his head, Neil MacDonald took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed them over, Matthew took the next word without saying a word, turned around and left.

Director Richard Longklein's voice came over at this time, "Okay! This one is over!" Then he shouted again, "Transition shooting!"

The crew was about to move to the next studio to shoot the scene of the German prisoners of war. Matthew entered the actor's rest area and sat down. Immediately someone brought a thick blanket and brought a cup of hot coffee, although what he wanted most was a cup of hot tea, even if it was scented tea. The last one is also fine, but as a character actor, you can't pay too much attention to this aspect.

Matthew put on the blanket and took a sip of hot coffee, feeling a little warmer.

Time has entered 2000 years. Although late January is not as cold as December, it is still cold and windy.

These actors play the soldiers who landed in France in June. Of course, they can't wear too thick clothes. They are basically single clothes when filming.

Half a cup of coffee was in his stomach, Matthew just put down the cup, and the makeup artist came over to touch up the makeup. Fortunately, there was no need to make too many adjustments to the oily face, and the weather was cold and it would not be smeared by sweat, so it was completed quickly.

"It's so cold!" Michael Fassbender rubbed his hands and walked into the resting place, pulling a chair to sit next to Matthew. "The hellish weather in the UK is killing me."

Matthew looked at him and asked, "Your part is finished."

"Not yet, but I won't be needed for the time being." Michael Fassbender went to pick up a cup of hot coffee, "I'll come in and warm up."

He took a sip of coffee and gave Matthew a thumbs up, "You did a great job just now! You don't look like a newcomer at all."

"Really?" Matthew asked.

Michael Fassbender nodded seriously, "Of course it's true?" He put on a look of upturned nostrils, "Do I need to please you?"

Matthew immediately shook his head, "No."

"I want to ask you..." Michael Fassbender's face was full of curiosity, "How long have you been preparing for this role?"

"I'll think about it..." Matthew did the math, "Four or five months."

Michael Fassbender was a little surprised. "For such a small role, how many months did it take to prepare?" He gradually became enlightened. "No wonder you performed best during training, and you were not bad when you were just filming."

It is very common for an actor to prepare for a leading role for several months, and it is less common for an actor to prepare for a small role for four or five months.

"Matthew!"

An assistant director walked in at this moment, "It's almost your part, go to the studio to prepare."

"I'll go right now."

Matthew said hello, walked out of the actor's resting place, and walked into a path full of mud and water. On both sides of the path, there were fake trees erected by the crew, which looked the same as the real ones.

For today's Hollywood movies, these are just the most basic things to do.

Not to mention others, after Matthew watched a lot, he would not be surprised.

After the crew was adjusted, the shooting started again. Matthew put on his helmet and entered the shooting location.

He has done enough research on the character and knows that he doesn't have to show too much when shooting, as long as he maintains the state of the previous shot.

Hearing the sound of director Richard Lonklein shouting the start, Matthew was holding a cigarette and holding a Chicago typewriter in his right hand, stepping on the muddy path and walking towards the German prisoners.

Scott Goenrith, who participated in the training together, passed by him~www.readwn.com~ Matthew didn't seem to see it, and his eyes were firmly ahead.

He looked at the German prisoner and took out the pack of cigarettes he wanted from his pocket, "Cigarettes?"

An extra who played a German soldier came over, and Matthew handed him the whole pack of cigarettes, "Here you are."

The extra smoked all the German soldiers, Matthew swept across the faces of the German soldiers, and spit out a smoke ring...

"Good!"

This happened once, and director Richard Longklein seemed very satisfied, "Matthew Horner, well done!"

Hearing the director's words, Matthew took off his helmet and showed a bright smile.

After a short period of adjustment, the shooting continued. This time, it was all close-up shots of Matthew's shooting. After five shots were taken, the director announced that it was complete.

Matthew took off his helmet, jumped off the mound, and prepared to remove his makeup.

All his shots were shot today.

In this scene about Ronald Spears's shooting of German prisoners of war, the crew did not give a clear answer, and adopted a subtle way of expressing it, just like a rumor among veterans.

During the filming of the second episode, there were not many scenes about Ronald Spears. Matthew then filmed a scene where he led troops to support E Company, which completed all his scenes in this episode.

The crew filmed at Hatfield Airport for a month. Even Matthew was physically and mentally exhausted. The crew also gave two days off for the actors who had no part to shoot afterwards.

Matthew originally wanted to use these two days to visit Britney, but after the phone call, he could only change the plan. Britney's global tour had already kicked off, and there was no time to see him at all.

However, he is not alone in the UK, and there are acquaintances in the crew who hang out together.
