"Quiet! Quiet!" the bearded man raised the loudspeaker and shouted loudly, "Give me peace of mind!"
There are hundreds of extras here. Once there is a riot, the consequences will be serious. The crew immediately stepped forward to maintain order, and the chaotic team finally calmed down.
Matthew took advantage of this time and had already squeezed to the front and stood diagonally opposite the bearded man, Helen Hermann and Ridley Scott. Michael Sheehan next to him stared at Ridley Scott, hoping to swallow him in one bite.
This is Hollywood's A-List project. Everyone wants to show their faces in the film. Not to mention people like Matthew, even those who regard acting as hobbies are no exception.
The hundreds of extras gathered here mainly come from three aspects: one is people like Matthew and Michael Sheeon who dream of stardom, the second is fans who are purely amateurs, and the third is some residents in the town.
The first two types of people are mainly squeezing forward.
The bearded man was an executive producer. At this time, he came to the edge of the woods, raised the loudspeaker, and shouted, "Now I will adjust the queue, and those who do not obey the command will be cleared out!"
He started from the front, pointed to a strong man with a beard like a bird's nest, and said, "Go ahead!"
Then, he said to the person who was obviously shorter next to him, "Go to the back."
Walking through the front of the team, the bearded man made many people squeeze into the front and shouted some people behind.
"Will we go back?" Michael Sheehn was very worried.
Matthew was paying attention to the bearded man, and then shook his head, "Don't worry, no!"
Michael Sheehn didn't understand where he got the confidence and asked, "Why?"
"Didn't you notice?" Matthew signaled the other side with his eyes. "The bearded man shouted that he came in front of him, all tall and strong people. Those who rushed to the back were all thin guys."
Michael Sheehan looked over there and found that it was indeed the case.
"You observed it very carefully." Some admiration arose in his heart, "I didn't see it."
Matthew smiled and said nothing, but his eyes turned to Helen Herman diagonally opposite. She was talking to Ridley Scott without any flattery on her face, as if she was very familiar with the old man.
Her ability to win this group of roles for Angel Brokerage is definitely not as simple as she said that she is lucky.
"You back!" The bearded man came to Matthew and Michael Sheeon, pointing to a small man on the left, "You back too!"
He looked at Matthew and Michael Sheeon and walked away.
Michael Sheehan looked at Matthew, who shrugged, "Strong is also a kind of capital."
The executive producer of Beard, the executive producer, took action personally, and the pre-show array playing the barbarian gradually became orderly. Ridley Scott always stood on the periphery, without any intention of intervening.
After the bearded man's rectification, the temporary cast was adjusted. Those who could be directly captured by the camera's camera were all strong men over 1.8 meters tall, carrying weapons one by one, with great momentum.
Then, Ridley Scott personally took the stage to schedule the filming.
"remember!"
The shooting is about to begin, and the bearded man finally reminds him, "Take out the energy you used to rehearse and shout hard!"
The content of the filming of the extras is not complicated. It is just standing by the woods, howling angrily at the other side of the open space, and demonstrating to the Roman legion.
As for the barbarians, they must be different from the regular army, and the way of demonstrations is primitive and simple.
The bearded man retreated outside the filming set, raised the loudspeaker, and waited for Ridley Scote's head, and shouted loudly, "Start!"
Matthew grabbed the battle axe with both hands, raised it above his head, opened his big mouth, and the face it drove was slightly distorted, looking fierce and evil.
“Oh—ah—oh—wow—”
He made all kinds of terrifying screams, and the loud voice suppressed Michael Sheen's screams beside him.
"oh--"
All the extras raised their weapons and made all kinds of weird screams!
For a moment, it was like a group of mental illnesses on the set, all of which were severe patients.
The camera mounted on the slide rails slid past the front, and the group of people, especially those in the front row, shouted louder and more excitedly.
Matthew put down the axe, changed his position, aimed the axe blade in front, and made several chopping movements. Michael Sheeen next to him took off the shield he was carrying, pulled out the sword at his waist, and began to hit the shield hard...
People with shields also use weapons to tap their shields!
This Germanic barbarian unit is full of momentum.
"Stop!" Ridley Scott's voice suddenly rang, "Okay! Good job!"
The bearded man immediately laughed, and this shot was just over, which just showed that he was doing a good job in rehearsal.
Matthew put down his weapon and cleared his throat. He shouted so loudly just now that his throat was a little uncomfortable.
"Don't relax, everyone!" The bearded man's voice sounded again, "Let's continue taking a picture!"
The second shot shot is similar to the first one, the only difference is that in addition to howling, you must slowly approach the Roman legion.
All of these have been rehearsed before, and as long as the order is not chaotic, it is not troublesome to shoot.
According to what Matthew learned, these are long-range shots, which basically flashed by. In addition, the bearded man was well-organized, and three shots were shot in just one hour.
After an hour of shooting, I was not very tired. The shooting was not as exhausted as before. However, after shouting intermittently for so long, Matthew felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, the crew was rich and someone had already transported more than a dozen boxes of bottled mineral water.
From breakfast to now, Matthew and other performers basically didn't drink water. He walked to the place where he was deriving the water, took a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the lid and carefully poured several large mouthfuls into his mouth, so as not to destroy the makeup on his face, and the cold water entered his throat. The previous hot feeling gradually disappeared, and he became energetic.
After drinking water, Matthew suddenly saw Helen Hermann leaning on a tree, holding a small notebook to record things.
"It seems that she didn't drink water all morning, right?"
Matthew took another bottle of mineral water, grabbed the prop and axe and walked towards Helen Hermann.
"What are you busy with?" He handed a bottle of mineral water to Helen Hermann, "Drink some water."
Helen Herman looked up at Matthew, put away the notebook and took the mineral water, nodded slightly, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Matthew smiled and left again with an axe.
Unscrew the mineral water, Helen Herman took a sip, looked at Matthew's back, and his information flashed through his mind. This is the few extras registered by her Angel Company, who have played roles with lines.
Matthew returned to the extras with the tomahawk, and Michael Sheeen came over again, "Matthew, don't you really want to fuck her, do you?"
"Go to yours." Matthew shook his head, "Didn't I tell you?"
Michael Sheehn didn't believe it, "You don't want to fuck her, why do you always run towards her?"
"It's very simple, be familiar with her face!" Matthew stood next to Michael Sheehan and looked at Helen Herman, who was still drinking water. "This company has just been established, and she must be unfamiliar with actors. You often say hello to her. When she has a suitable job or role, you may think of you first."
"Yes!" Michael Sheeon suddenly realized, "Why didn't I expect it?"
He immediately wanted to go there, "I'll say hello to her now."
"It's gathering! It's gathering!"
Before Michael Sheehn moved, a staff member shouted loudly, "Put back all the water bottles! Don't leave them on the set! Everyone, gather now!"
A few minutes later, the filming began again, but the person who directed the scene was no longer Ridley Scott, but a younger assistant director.
Taking advantage of the free time before the filming started, Matthew took a look and found that Helen Hermann had gotten together with Ridley Scott again.
"Is your father okay?" Ridley Scott and Helen Herman were very familiar with each other. "Now in Los Angeles?"
"I'm going to New Zealand for vacation," Helen Herman said with a smile. "He loves summer."
Ridley Scot nodded, "It's still the same as before."
Helen Hermann looked back at the Roman army array and asked curiously, "Are you not shooting there yet?"
"It's probably after noon." A hint of displeasure flashed across Ridley Scott's face. "These celebrities now make more money than before, have greater influence than before, but their professional ethics are getting worse and worse."
Helen Herman knows who he is talking about, “Is it difficult for Russell Clow to do?”
"Well." Ridley Scott did not deny this, "I am a good actor when I was filming, and I am a..."
He shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk about Russell Clow again, and took the initiative to change the topic, "Why did you open a small agency?"
Helen Hermann turned around and said, "If you want to make a breakthrough by yourself, it is also accumulating experience. I just came out of the mailroom and had no customers. Instead of waiting for the qualifications, it would be better to make a breakthrough. Even if you fail, it is a valuable experience."
Ridley Scott seemed to admire Helen Herman very much, "There are not many young people as pragmatic as you now."
He and Helen's father are old friends. After thinking for a while, he said, "There is a small actor in the crew who has a temporary problem. I'm going to replace him. Is there anything suitable for you?"
Helen Herman immediately understood that this was Ridley Scott's need to help her. A figure who often appeared in front of her flashed through his mind. Related information followed. An actor who had a role with Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder and had two lines. It was definitely not a problem to deal with the small role in Ridley Scott's mouth.
"Yes." She said quickly, "When?"
