"Boom--"

Amid the explosion, countless soil flew up and fell like raindrops, hitting Matthew's body and helmet. An actor next to him was trembling, as if he was frightened by the explosion, and did not move.

The explosions during the shooting are all real shots. Although they are not very powerful, under the control of the fireworks team, the sound and power are quite amazing. It is not surprising that new actors who have never experienced such scenes are scared to death.

Matthew held the car-15 rifle with one hand, gave out one hand, stretched out two fingers and pointed it in his eyes, then pointed at the front, and shouted, "Cover me!"

Behind the director's monitor not far away, Ridley Scott was about to stop, but seeing Matthew's actions, the shooting continued. Originally, behind Sergeant Hut was a recruit who had never experienced actual combat. It was normal for this reaction to occur. This shot can be regarded as one of the materials for post-production editing.

"Boom--"

Another explosion sounded, followed by gunfire from ak-47. Matthew looked up and shouted at the other actors dressed in Rangers, "Follow me!"

After saying that, he took the lead in flashing out of the bunker, entered the street, lowered his posture and ran forward, approached the corner of the street, knelt on one knee on the ground, posing in a very standard kneeling position, and pulled the trigger one after another.

Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-

Gunshots rang one after another, and bullet shells jumped out and fell to the ground, but no bullets were shot out. Of course, the car-15 in his hand was not real bullets, but empty bullets specially prepared by the crew.

According to Matthew's understanding, there will be very few special effects in the later stages of this movie, and basically all the pictures are completed by real shooting. Ridley Scott and Jerry Brookheimer are ambitious and want to restore every detail of the battlefield that year.

After a few shots, Matthew turned around and turned around at the same time, "Low down! Lower down!"

He took two soldiers into another street.

"Card!" Ridley Scott stopped shooting, "This one has passed!"

Matthew stood up from the ground, took off his helmet, and his head was covered with sweat. A makeup assistant immediately ran over and wiped him off his sweat. His assistant in the crew came over with a kettle. Because Matthew had makeup on his body and was fully armed, he used a straw-style kettle, which neither delayed drinking water nor did he get a flower makeup.

The actor who was frightened by the explosion was helped up from behind and seemed to be unable to participate in the filming for a short time.

The crew quickly adjusted the camera, and the two cameras slid along the guide rails onto the street where Matthew was.

Ridley Scott walked over slowly, and asked the bearded man who was following him while walking, "That person was Matthew Horner, recommended by Helen?"

"Yes." Jack looked over there, "The name Hutt was written on the helmet, it's impossible to be wrong."

Each actor playing the American soldier has the last name of the character on his helmet, which is designed by director Ridley Scott for the audience to distinguish others because under the same strict military uniform, everyone looks almost the same.

"He's good." Ridley Scott was very satisfied with the filming just now, "and very flexible."

Jack smiled and said, "The person Helen recommended is not wrong."

Ridley Scot nodded, and turned into another street without saying anything.

He came directly to the actors and said, "Come here! Come here!"

Matthew immediately put on his helmet and came next to Ridley Scott. Two other actors also came over, and the video's military adviser was also here.

"Next, you need to lead the way for the armed helicopters." Ridley Scott personally demonstrated, came to a wall near the street, squatted down and pointed to the place where black extras gathered in front, and said, "You go along the wall and all the way there."

Matthew squatted behind him and said quickly, "I understand."

"Director Scott!" The military adviser suddenly spoke, "Sorry, Director Scott, this scene design does not match the situation at that time."

Ridley Scott immediately stood up, "Oh? Tell me."

These military professionals from the Delta forces were invited to restore the battlefield of that year as much as possible during the shooting and let them help find details.

The military adviser was very responsible and said directly, "The Delta team members wore light plastic helmets at that time. Although they were not bulletproof, they had good anti-collision function. This helmet was named "Efficient impact resistance helmet" by the Special Operations Command. In this case, the Delta team members would not stick to the wall because the wall would jump. Sometimes bullets would fly far along the wall, and the rate of shooting on the wall would be higher!"

He paused for a moment, and saw that Ridley Scott did not speak, and said, "It takes great courage to stand in the middle of the street in the face of a rain of bullets. It is actually dangerous to stand against the wall than to stand in the street, but it is much more at ease. Being able to overcome feelings and follow reason is also one of the differences between Delta players and Rangers."

Ridley Scott thought for a while and said, "I think this is the case, add a scene so that the Delta team members can talk about this with the Rangers, so as to avoid the audience not understanding this part of the scene because they don't understand it."

Jerry Brookheimer did not interfere in the shooting, and the shooting on the set was entirely based on Ridley Scott. This kind of scene adjustment based on the real situation is not a problem at all.

However, the scene was not added to Matthew. The filming began. He led two soldiers in the middle of the street until he exchanged fire with the black extras in front of him. The filming was completed.

Today, the scene of Sergeant Hutter was filmed. Matthew first went to the makeup trailer to remove his makeup, then went to the actor's resting place on the roof of a building and found James McAvoy, who was sitting under a large sun umbrella.

"Drink water." Ben Foster threw a bottle of iced mineral water over. Matthew then sat on a chair next to Orlando Bloom, unscrewed it and took a sip. The cool feeling penetrated into his heart, "It's so cool!"

Orlando Bloom signaled the ice cream in his hand, "Do you want a box?"

Matthew shook his head, "No need."

A series of crackling guns suddenly sounded on the street not far away, and the shooting continued, including Matthew, several people also looked over there.

"The poses of those black actors shooting with guns..." Ben Foster seemed unable to find a suitable adjective.

Orlando Bloom curled his lips, "They play militia who are not trained." He looked at the filming set and said, "Most militias have not received regular shooting training. They only pick up guns and scan them randomly, so the hit rate is very low, which is why more than 100 American soldiers were divided and surrounded by thousands of militias but only 19 were killed."

"I never understand one thing." James McAvoy pointed to the black actor who was shooting with AK-47 on the set, and said, "Why do black people always like to raise their guns above their heads and shoot? Not only movies, but also black people in many news scenes."

Orlando Bloom said, "It seems that's true."

Ben Foster shook his head, "I don't know."

Matthew put down the water bottle and said, "I thought about this."

The other three people looked over and James McAvoy asked curiously, "Have you considered it?"

Matthew was not talking nonsense. When he saw wars and conflicts in Africa, especially in the sub-Saharan region, he always found a very strange scene, that is, Africans rarely raise their guns to aim, but lift their guns high above their heads to shoot. Such a posture is really novel.

He specifically checked this on a smartphone.

"Tell me," Orlando Bloom urged.

"Why, I summarize there are three aspects." Matthew stretched out a finger, "There are issues of faith and culture. In many places in Africa, due to their low level of culture, they think that modern weapons, including guns, are supernatural abilities. The reason why these killing people is nothing more than white magic or a kind of witchcraft they don't know. They don't understand the working principle of these weapons. So, just pick up the gun and fire in the approximate direction. The target will be destroyed in response and there is no need to aim at it."

The other three laughed, obviously not believing this.

"Don't believe it!" Matthew looked serious, "I've watched it on a military program. In Africa, except for some regular soldiers, most people believe in this idea. Some people even believe that if you dip a strip of cloth and tie it to a gun, you can kill your target with one shot. Regardless of whether the enemy has bought bulletproof spells for yourself, or whether you aim or not, this is a kind of faith shooting, and it has nothing to do with shooting posture and shooting skills."

Then, he raised his second finger, "The posture is very cool! Africans are optimistic by nature, have strong expression, and like to chase trends. Even during the war, there were many beautiful African fashion experts who were dressed in the broken walls. Africans also brought the characteristics of their preference for coolness and pursuit of personality to the battlefield."

Those three guys were already laughing.

"Think about it..." Matthew continued, "In the battlefield, bright clothes and strange hairstyles, and with the submachine gun in his hand, he was in the state of blessing of the witch doctor's magic power, he shot every shot. At this time, it doesn't matter what position to shoot. Fighting has become an art. Holding the gun over the head shows strength and courage, scaring the enemy to death."

He raised his third finger again, "Okay, I've finished the joke, I'm serious. The real reason should be that there is no training and no one teaches me. Whether it is a regular army or a private armed soldier in Africa, there is very little military training. No instructors tell them how to use guns correctly, and no one tells the principle of the guns to kill people."

James McAvoy nodded, "It's the last one."
