Chapter 127: Bastards everywhere
(Some book friends have reported that they are not adapted to the changed update time. Thirteen still changes the update time back to the time period. Nine in the morning, three in the afternoon and nine in the evening! Please give me recommendation votes.)
The door of Edward Air Force Base opened, and nearly a hundred male actors walked out one after another, preparing to go to the nearest airport to take a charter flight to Morocco. The filming time of "Black Hawk Down" was tight, and producer Jerry Brookheimer has been there since the beginning of the year, and director Ridley Scott also rushed over early and started filming after the actors arrived.
After the ten-day training, almost everyone looked relaxed and in a happy mood.
The exception is the only person who walked at the end of the team and fell more than ten meters.
Tom Hadi pulled her suitcase and came out of the base gate alone. Yin Qi stared at the front and locked on one of the people in the team.
Johnny Lee Miller!
This bastard actually sacrificed him for his own benefit!
After that day, of course he refused to quit the crew voluntarily. Johnny Lee Miller called his agent. Under the huge pressure from the agent, Tom Hardy could only give in. Even if he had a good family background, he could not change the fact that he was just a small actor and was unable to compete with Hollywood agency giants.
Although the agent promised to compensate him in other ways, Tom Hardy still felt that he had suffered great trauma, especially in his heart.
He originally regarded Johnny Lee Miller as his friend and as a partner who could cooperate. What about Johnny Lee Miller? When he needed it, he did not hesitate to be a scapegoat.
The actor in front began to board two buses. Tom Hardy walked over to pick him up and looked at the two buses that exuded a cold metallic atmosphere in the bright sunlight, and suddenly had an experience that this circle might be even colder than this metallic atmosphere.
"I want to be a star!" Tom Hardy clenched his fists, "Become a big star! Only in this way can we return everything today to Johnny Lee Miller, and we can punish that despicable, shameless, sinister and obscene bastard!"
He put his luggage into the back seat, took the co-pilot, and said to the driver, "Go back to Los Angeles!"
Tom Hardy has already considered it. Hollywood is too dangerous. Every step is thorny, every step is trapped everywhere, and bastards are everywhere. I should go back to the UK to develop first. When I have a certain reputation, I will fight back to Hollywood!
The off-road vehicle was carrying smoke and dust and drove past the bus. At a position in front of the car, Johnny Lee Miller watched the off-road vehicle leave through the window.
He knew that Tom Hardy was very unwilling and very resentful, but he didn't care. Is it important to be Tom Hardy or his future important? Is it necessary to choose?
The content on the video tape is really...he can't afford this kind of risk.
Suddenly, a laughing sound came from the front door of the bus. Johnny Lee Miller raised his eyes and saw Matthew Horner, the inglorious bastard, got on the bus one after another, and seemed to have not seen him. They passed by and went to the seat behind.
Johnny Lee Miller felt uncomfortable all over when he thought of working with such a person on the same crew for a long time, but he had to endure it for the video tape.
"You won't give him now..." After coming to the rear half of the car, James McAvoy sat down, looked in front, and whispered to Matthew, "He has no objection?"
"Of course I have an objection!" Matthew also had a headache, "I kept trying to find a way to delay, and I told him that he is a big star, I am a young actor, and he can mess with me at any time in the crew, so I will wait until the filming is over before giving it to him."
James McAvoy asked again, "He agrees?"
Matthew shook his head, "It's a day to drag it out. When my scene is finished, I don't have to worry about him."
Yesterday, they just got a detailed shooting plan. His role is relatively high-level. It is estimated that all of them will be filmed by the end of January or early February next year.
Ben Foster walked up at this time, James McAvoy waved to the other side, approached Matthew, and asked in the lowest voice, "You really have such a videotape."
"No." Matthew just shook his head, "I lied to Johnny Lee Miller."
"What?" James McAvoy unconsciously raised his voice, then covered his mouth, and after a while, he lowered his voice and said, "I really believe you. You can deceive people in such a thing."
Matthew said helplessly, "What can I do? The situation was one-on-two at that time, and they had electric shocks, so I could only think of this way to protect myself."
James McAvoy gave Matthew a thumbs up, "Actually, I admire you very much, really."
Although I don't know what Matthew has done, it's hard not to be admired if he can fool Johnny Lee Miller.
Ben Foster came over, Matthew greeted him, and thanked him for the incident that day. If he hadn't reported the message to James McAvoy, James McAvoy came over and knocked on the door with several familiar actors, he might not have been able to trick Johnny Lee Miller so easily.
But there are also sequelae to trick Johnny Lee Miller. Where can he get a video for him? You can't let Johnny Lee Miller take off all his clothes and take a photo, right?
Matthew's idea should be delayed until the filming of "Black Hawk Down" as much as possible. He will leave and no longer pay attention to Johnny Lee Miller. Anyway, among the Hollywood superstars in his memory, there is no name for Johnny Lee Miller. It is estimated that he will not become much of a climate in the future.
As long as it does not affect normal shooting, the crew of "Black Hawk Down" will not care about the bad things of personal conflicts and conflicts between actors.
After that day, Jack, the bearded man who was in charge of Edward Air Force Base, also asked him. Although Matthew did not say anything in detail, he also admitted that he had some conflicts with Johnny Lee Miller and Tom Hardy. Jack just told him not to cause trouble on the crew and had no intention of interfering.
Matthew has made up his mind to be a rogue when it comes to cheating Johnny Lee Miller.
After getting off the bus and taking the crew chartered flight, nearly a hundred actors rushed to Morocco in a huge way. Sitting in the plane, they looked around and saw that except for a few flight attendants, they were all men.
This crew is even more exaggerated than "Brothers" and has basically no female members. Not to mention the actor part, even the staff behind the scenes are almost all male.
In the words of James McAvoy, when they filmed a scene in Morocco for several months, they would be more sexy and beautiful than Marilyn Monroe.
Matthew vaguely remembers that Morocco seems to be not a black country.
Hundreds of male actors stayed on a plane, and the funniest thing was to hook up with a flight attendant. Orlando Bloom, the recognized handsome guy in the crew, had a hot fight with a flight attendant.
Orlando Bloom is not a star yet, and his role in "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Team" will not be released next year.
Matthew has seen the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and Legolas is definitely one of the most impressive characters. By then, "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Team" will be released, and Orlando Bloom will definitely be popular, even surpassing Josh Hartnet and Johnny Lee Miller, which will be a matter of minutes.
Unfortunately, Orlando Bloom took on "Black Hawk Down" before "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Team" was released. The role was very small and the pay was not high.
After arriving in Morocco, he only had one day off and suffered a jet lag. Matthew joined other actors in filming.
Ridley Scott himself took over the project halfway, but "Black Hawk Down" was planned for a long time in the hands of Jerry Brookheimer. Even after Simon West resigned from his directorship, the preliminary preparations did not stop. The crew could only start filming one month later than the original plan. Jerry Brookheimer, as the producer, made an indelible contribution.
Moreover, the film has great political significance. Even people like Matthew who are insensitive to politics can feel this. The Moroccan government and the Pentagon gave the crew great support.
The Moroccan government not only allowed a Delta team and Blackhawk helicopter to shoot in the camera, but also mobilized its team to assist in the shooting.
According to Matthew's understanding, this is not unrelated to the huge benefits that the crew can bring to Morocco. Today, a considerable number of Hollywood films involving deserts and Africa are filmed in Morocco, such as "Star Wars Prequel: The Ghost Threat" released two years ago.
Morocco is even dubbed "Molywood" by many media.
On the first day of filming, there was no scene of Sergeant Hute played by Ma Xiu, but he left the cool hotel and came to the set of yellow sand under the scorching sun to experience the set and the scenes of the set in person so that he could get into the state faster.
In terms of dedication, Matthew's attitude never has to be doubted.
The filming set was chaotic. Because it was filming scenes in Somalia, extras must be hired from Africa. Although they were all looking for locals from Morocco who looked like Somalis, extras spoke various languages, and even experienced directors like Ridley Scott were not so convenient to direct.
Even after watching for a while, Matthew found that some black actors were grimacing at the camera during the filming, which was very speechless.
"The director is probably going to be very worried." Matthew murmured under the shaded shed, Orlando Bloom, who was also hiding here to watch the filming, walked over, "There is nothing to do about this, and we can't fire these people."
Matthew turned his head and looked at him in confusion. Orlando Bloom looked very low-key and explained specifically to him, "One of the conditions for the Moroccan government to support the filming of the crew is that all extras must use Moroccans."
"So that's the case." Matthew nodded.
Back then, the government welcomed foreign crews to shoot, of course there must be profits, and Morocco is not stupid.
