(Two updates will be resumed on Friday! The update time is still around 9 am and 3 pm. I have a lot of work at home recently. I beg you to understand. Thank you 13!)

Compared to half-baked guys like Helen Herman, Ridley Scott is undoubtedly a standard professional.

"He knows how to use his voice and body." Ridley Scott said more objectively, "but he exerted too much force and performed on the surface, and was still far from enlightenment."

Helen Hermann nodded slightly.

Ridley Scott said again, "I can't see anything in a scene, and there are not many good actors who are really good in Hollywood."

Unlike the last show, he found a place to rest. As the absolute protagonist of these scenes, Matthew sat in a very comfortable high-back chair, with the makeup artist and an assistant director standing opposite him, carefully examining the newly added scars on his face to find possible problems.

This can be said to be the most comfortable time Matthew has been here on the set these days.

In the temporary rest area of ​​the actor, there were special snacks for him to replenish his energy, electrolyte drinks quench his thirst, and the crew even temporarily equipped him with an assistant to help him solve other matters outside of filming.

Of course, these are limited to these few scenes, and once the filming is completed, all the treatment will be gone.

"I wonder what kind of treatment Russell Clow would be?"

Matthew is relatively idle now, and he feels bored as a farmer discussing the emperor's golden shoulder pole.

After waiting for a while, the temporary assistant came over to inform him that he would enter the venue to prepare for the shooting of the next scene.

Next will be an action scene, but the real actor is only Matthew, and the camera only captures the shot of him wielding a warhammer in close-up scene, which is why the crew dared to temporarily activate him.

Action scenes like those that are fighting are either shot by stunt actors or have to go through a period of professional training.

Matthew came to the set, and some extras wearing Roman soldiers' uniforms and acting as barbarians were already lying on the ground and lying on the background of the shooting.

"You take this as the center point!" The movement guide who had communicated with Matthew before came over and made his final advice, "Do not exceed one meter of left and right motion range!"

"Also, have you ever swung the sledgehammer?" he said again, "How can you swing the hammer with full force!"

"Okay!" Matthew nodded.

Before the filming, he heard the action director say that the action scenes in "Gladiator" take a realistic power-oriented route, not the exaggeration that is popular in Hollywood now.

Matthew didn't understand the qigong and dance techniques that were so scattered that Matthew didn't know at all, but he had fought many wild fights on the streets, and he was even more adept at swinging a hammer.

The action guide left, and the makeup artist came over to check it out again, confirming that Matthew's makeup was fine, and then left the set.

Taking advantage of the gap before shooting, Matthew looked at it and only used one camera for the shooting, which was set directly opposite him.

The shooting began soon, and when he heard the sound of the scene, Matthew waved his sledgehammer, like knocking on a few cement pillars horizontally. On the left and on the right, the warhammer with totem was made of resin, weighing only five or six kilograms, but in his hands, it was like a real hammer, with wind.

There were no "enemy" around, so Matthew could only smash it into the air, smashing four or five hammers back and forth, and his tight expression unconsciously relaxed.

After all, some people fight and no one practice alone are different, and he lacks experience...

"Stop!" Ridley Scott shouted to stop shooting again, and shouted at Matthew, "You smashed the Roman soldiers! Not the balloon!"

Matthew stopped and gasped, and Ridley Scott shouted, "Reset, shoot again!"

The following shooting started not smoothly. This scene seemed simple, but the one-man show, especially the one-man show with close-ups, is not easy to perform at all.

I NG six times later. Except for one time, when the cameraman zoomed in, the rest were caused by Matthew.

"Ten minutes of rest!"

Fortunately, Ridley Scott was just a little impatient and didn't get angry.

But the extras who got up from the ground looked at Matthew with a bad look, especially those who played the barbarian soldiers, were envious and jealous of his chance to get this last performance. Now, because of his question, they had been lying on the wet ground for so long, which would be strange if they liked him.

Matthew turned a blind eye to these things, returned to the seating area and sat in a chair, not knowing how to adjust.

"Drink water?" asked the interim assistant.

"No need." Matthew was not blindly arrogant and was very polite to others, "Thank you."

The makeup artist came over and said, "Put it down!"

Matthew nodded and cooperated with the makeup artist very well. The makeup artist was also very charming and didn't look like a man.

He doesn't like sissy men, and even says he can be very annoying.

Has it? Matthew suddenly got a little inspiration, hesitated...

This inspiration was captured by him and spread rapidly in his mind.

In the filming just now, the problem with NG was that he lacked the ruthlessness of his real face in desperate situations in close-ups, and he was not like the kind of person who was struggling dyingly.

This feeling is very subjective. In Matthew's view, it is like acting skills and it is difficult to explain clearly.

Having hated this word made him think of a way. When the next time he took a photo, can he imagine the air around him as someone who was unpaid for wages or someone who threw him into prison? In this way, he had motivation and a target of hatred...

After thinking about it for a while, Matthew felt that it was feasible, and he could not think of any other way.

Ten minutes passed in a flash. After the temporary assistant came to inform him, Matthew stood among a group of extras lying on the corpse.

This time, unlike the previous shooting, he stimulated all the negative energy he had ever seen and stared at the front, as if the boss who ran away from wages was right in front of him!

"Shooting!"

Hearing this, Matthew swung his hammer and smashed it forward, looking like he wanted to smash someone into a paste.

Then, he swung the hammer and swept to the left, and in his eyes, he grabbed his uniform and looked at him with contempt.

Hu—Hu—

The wind kept ringing, and Matthew's expression became more and more fierce, as if he wanted to smash the earth under his feet.

“Huh…”

Behind the director's monitor, Ridley Scott saw the close-up shot transmitted from the camera, and his white eyebrows suddenly raised. The performance of the person on the monitor was completely different from the previous shot.

The effect now is not very good, but it is much better than the last time. At least it is used in a small character in such a commercial film, and there is no problem at all.

Can it improve so much in a short period of time? Ridley Scott is knowledgeable, but he is a little curious.

But this curiosity flashed and flew away. This is a little actor, and he would not invest much attention.

A little further from the set, Helen Hermann held his hands in his chest, and assistant Amanda stood beside him.

"Director Scott didn't call for a stop," Amanda suddenly said.

Helen Hermann closed his inquiring eyes and asked, "I asked you to sort out his information yesterday. Has he received professional studies?"

She couldn't remember this.

Amanda said with certainty, "The information shows that it is not."

"This guy..." Helen Herman raised a hand, put it beside his mouth, and coughed, "It seems that there is really some potential."

She made the decision, "Amanda, prepare for a long appointment after returning to Los Angeles."

In the woods that did not affect the shooting, the bald man, tall man and Michael Sheeon were also paying attention to the shooting on the set.

"No wonder he can get such a role." The bald man shook his head, "He has such a skill! Look, look at this crazy spirit, can ordinary people perform this kind of performance?"

The tall man knocked on his head and said, "He has performed well in these two scenes. If he can get such an opportunity, he will definitely have the corresponding ability."

He looked at Michael Sheehan, "This is your friend, do you know him, is that right?"

"Haha..." Michael Sheeen laughed twice. He always regarded himself as Matthew's good friend, and at this time he could only agree, "It seems like this."

The bald man slapped his thighs and stood up and said, "That kid seems to be really going to leave our team of acting. With his performance today, it should be fine to be an ordinary character actor."

Michael Sheehn laughed twice again, and suddenly heard Ridley Scott's sound through the loudspeaker, "Cut!"

"Stop shouting?" he murmured in his heart, "It's great, I've made another mistake!"

"This one has passed!"

But the sound coming from him made him stunned on the spot.

On the other side, Macon, who was holding a round shield, staring at Matthew tightly, wishing to kill him with a sharp sword-like gaze!

"This bastard who stole my character! He will definitely settle the score with him." He said to himself viciously.

There are three scenes in total with Matthew as the main subject. The first two are the most difficult, both close-up and close-ups. The last scene is the scene where the character was killed by Roman soldiers in the distance, which is relatively easier.

After resting for fifteen minutes, Matthew finished filming more smoothly after four times.

"You can go and remove your makeup." The assistant director told him.

Matthew took a sip of water and saw Helen Hermann coming.

"You go and remove your makeup first." Helen Hermann said only one sentence, "I'll go to the makeup group to find you later, let's talk."

Matthew first went to the costume team to change his clothes, and then walked towards the makeup team's station. Many extras who were not available were also walking towards the makeup team. However, they also had to queue up to remove makeup, and Matthew could go directly to the makeup trailer in the morning, and a special makeup artist took off his makeup.

Entering the makeup trailer, the charming male makeup artist was gone, and the female assistant asked, "I'll call him."

"No."

Although he vaguely heard that homosexuality was popular in this industry, Matthew felt chill when he thought of the note. He called his female assistant, "Come and help me."

It is troublesome to use makeup like this, and it is also very troublesome to remove makeup. It took a long time before Matthew returned to his original appearance. The refreshing feeling on his face made him stand up and stretch.

"Thank you." He said kindly to his female assistant and walked out of the makeup trailer.

Maybe he took too long to remove his makeup, and the makeup team returned to quiet again. Not long after Matthew walked forward, he suddenly saw a man in a savage costume blocking him, as if waiting for him specifically.
Chapter completed!
