Chapter 24 The Hero's Feeling

(Ask for a recommendation ticket!)

A group of tall savages stood on the edge of the woods, looking straight ahead with fierce eyes, and behind them curled green smoke, a war seemed to happen at any time.

On the open ground in front of them, stood a tall and strong figure. He held a long-handled war hammer inlaid with tribal totems and looked into the distance with a blank expression. At first glance, he seemed to have the temperament of a leader.

Opposite, although there is no formed Roman legion, only some temporary performances are faintly visible, but Matthew tried his best to make a fierce expression.

The camera installed on the slide rails from far to near, showing a semi-circular arc to shoot around Matthew, the lens is always aimed at his face, and the hundreds of extras behind him are all his background boards.

"Oh-ah-wow-drink-"

Matthew lifted the warhammer high above his head with one hand, and let out a wild cry, louder and wilder than yesterday!

"Oh-oh-"

The extras at the back followed suit with mixed roars.

In an instant, the studio turned into a concentration camp for lunatics!

"Stop!" Ridley-Scott shouted to stop shooting, obviously not satisfied, stood up from the director's chair, went straight into the set, and yelled at the camera first, "Push the lens from far to near and zoom in and out. In time, change to manual zoom!"

"Okay!" the photographer responded.

A makeup artist quickly entered the set to wipe the sweat for Matthew. The treatment of this character is by no means comparable to the background panels at the back. Even Ridley-Scott came over after telling the cameraman.

"The roar is good, loud enough, and wild." The old Englishman circled around Matthew, "These are not enough! You are a tribal leader facing the invincible Roman legion!"

Having said that, he looked at Helen Herman on the outside of the set, and suddenly asked, "What other qualities do you think this character needs?"

Hearing this question, Matthew suddenly thought of the martyrs who had studied in the textbooks, and was instantly inspired, and said, "The spirit of never surrendering even knowing that he will die! Hmm... It should be possible to regard death as home, and... Don't be reconciled."

Ridley-Scott nodded secretly, no wonder he has played with Winona-Ryder and Angelina-Jolie, and his savvy is okay.

"Show it!" Ridley-Scott added.

The extras were busy here, and the extras were free, and a lot of people were staring at Matthew and Ridley Scott on the set.

In the crowd, a bald head with a strange shape looked over there enviously and muttered, "That guy looks familiar!"

"Not only is he familiar, I also know him." A tall man next to him said, "He was standing on my right when filming yesterday."

The bald head opened his mouth wide, as if he couldn't believe it, "He is an extra just like us?"

"Yeah." The tall man nodded, "I still have a company with us. When I came, I remember he was sitting behind you."

He pointed to Michael Sheehan, who was holding the sword and shield, "Just with him, they're still roommates!"

"Hey, man!" The bald head remembered the guy who shouted to be famous. "Where's your partner?" He pointed to Matthew's side, "Is he your roommate."

Michael Sheehan looked at Ridley Scott, who was personally mentoring Matthew, with a rather ugly face, but nodded anyway.

A playful smile appeared on the bald-headed face, "Don't you want to be a big star? Why is he the one in the limelight?"

The tall man has been sighing, "Ridley Scott personally instructed... If it was me, I would definitely be excited to jump in the Pacific Ocean when I look back."

There was laughter all around, but everyone looked at Matthew with a bit of envy and jealousy in their eyes.

Michael Sheehan stared in the middle of the set, wishing he was the one standing there now!

"An extra,

Climbed up so quickly. The bald-headed voice came over again, "It is estimated that he either has a background, or he is very good at camping! "

The tall man continued his words and said, "Whatever it is, it will soon be out of our class."

The bald head said to Michael Sheehan again, "Aren't you friends? Let me introduce you to me later. If this guy can really make his mark, he can also help us in the future."

Hearing this, Michael Sheehan suddenly woke up and put away the unhappiness on his face. At this time, he should not care about these. If Matthew can really develop and stay by his side, can he also get some benefits? ?

"Yeah, we are good friends!" Michael Sheehan said, "Matthew is very capable, and the boss of Angel's agency also values ​​him very much. Do you want to know him? No problem, I will introduce you to you when I have time..."

On this side, many people gathered around Michael Sheehan to inquire about Matthew's situation.

On the other side, a man with a round shield was staring at Matthew angrily.

"It turns out that you stole my role!"

This man's face was full of anger, and he seemed to be able to ignite the woods behind him. "I, Macon, is a top student at the Royal Academy of Drama, and I have to stand with a group of young performers..."

Ever since he learned yesterday that his role was taken off by Ridley Scott, he has been furious, especially when he learned this morning that the role was given to a country bumpkin in the United States. Persuasion, coupled with Ridley-Scott's reputation and the huge influence of Universal Pictures behind the crew, he wanted to smash the crew.

Although he will not graduate until this summer, he has already served as a character actor in several production crews due to the reputation of the Royal Academy of Drama and the recommendation of the academy. The rest of the way is smooth sailing, and becoming the second Jude Law is a matter of course.

Who would have thought that the old man Ridley-Scott would not save face for him and his teacher at all.

That old man Ridley Scott can't afford to mess with...

"Ready! Ready!"

An assistant director came over with a loudspeaker, "Filming will start in five minutes! Come and prepare now!"

Macon picked up the dagger that was put aside, and walked towards it angrily. Fortunately, the crew would give him a separate shot afterward, otherwise he would have thrown it away...

The makeup artist quickly retreated, and the various departments of the crew returned to their positions. Matthew stood there, thinking with his eyes closed, how to express what he said?

He has not experienced professional studies, and has only one real experience in filming. He has only read a lot of theoretical books recently.

For example, performance is divided into "experience school", "expression school" and "method school".

But Matthew's education level is limited and his professional knowledge is lacking, so he still can't understand the difference between these performances.

This is an opportunity, and at the same time, Matthew can see his own deficiencies more clearly, and he is looking forward to the performance class that starts in May.

Filming was about to begin, and Matthew knew he had to come up with something or it would be a slap in the face.

He's sure that screwing up this time, the well-connected Helen Herman won't give him a second chance.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand the difference in the way of acting, Matthew believes in one thing, no matter if a white cat or a black cat can catch a mouse, it is a good cat!

Wouldn't it be better to die than give in? Isn't it just like dying? Don't you die without surrendering? There are too many such characters, especially when I was young, and they are all over the place in books and on TV.

Matthew let himself relax, dropped all the messy thoughts, and his head gradually became empty, as if he was the only one left in the world.

"start!"

A voice entered his ear, and Matthew's eyes instantly became sharp, looking straight ahead. After a few seconds, he raised the warhammer in his right hand over his head, and the big mouth hidden under the beard suddenly opened, The huge lung capacity squeezed out all the air in the chest cavity, and a roar like a god of war rose into the air.

"Ah-wow-ah-ah-"

At this moment, many memories flashed in front of Matthew's eyes.

First of all, it is the boss who runs away without pay, and he howls in anger at them!

Then, it was the uniforms that expelled them during the sit-in for wages, and he shouted at them unwillingly!

Behind him was the sky when he was thrown into prison on charges of disturbing the peace, and he let out an unyielding roar!

At this moment, Matthew fully showed the huge advantage of lung capacity, as if he had buffalo lungs, and the long howl was like a battle horn!

It seemed that he had been influenced by him, and the hundreds of extras behind him were also shouting much louder than before, and they were screaming and howling, spreading out far and wide.

Helen Herman stood on the periphery of the set, looking at Matthew, who was still waving the warhammer and howling in battle, and nodded slightly.

"He seems fine?" Amanda leaned over and asked.

"It's okay." Helen Herman is also a half-professional, "enough for this role."

Turning an extra into a role actor, she didn't expect the other party to show explosive acting skills.

On the set, Matthew stopped roaring, and the warhammer with the totem fell heavily on the ground. This was a signal that was set before, and the actors behind him stopped shouting immediately, but the chaotic shouting continued for a while.

"Okay!" Ridley-Scott was not dissatisfied, and said directly, "This scene is over, ready for the next one."

The crew got busy right away, and the rails and cameras needed to be rearranged.

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he did a good job? It only took two shots.

"Make-up!"

The assistant director shouted, and a makeup artist ran over immediately.

"I want water," Matthew shouted again.

A handyman came quickly and gave Matthew a cup with a straw in case he got any makeup.

At this moment, Matthew has the feeling of a male protagonist, and seems to have become a big star.

But he knew very well that after filming the role, he would be beaten back to his original form.

Ridley-Scott finished his work and was temporarily idle. Helen Herman took the initiative to find her. Many people in the crew knew that she had a close relationship with Ridley-Scott, and no one stopped her.

"How's he doing?" Helen Herman asked Ridley Scott.
