Hearing Orlando Bloom's words, Matthew thought for a while and pretended to be a very high-level figure. "Faith can make thousands of people carry ak-47 and shoot randomly. Which one do you think is more powerful.

A staff member came here to inform the crew that the shuttle bus from the crew to and from the hotel arrived. Matthew and several others stopped watching and chose to go back to the hotel to blow up the air conditioner. However, after returning to the hotel, they did not rest and went to the bar on the second floor of the hotel together. Orlando Bloom invited Matthew, Ben Foster and James McAvoy to drink.

In the bar, all three people wanted were low-degree cocktails, after all, during the shooting.

"I'm leaving Morocco tomorrow." Orlando Bloom said, putting down his glass, "may not be back until January next year."

James McAvoy raised his cup, "A good journey."

Ben Foster also said, "Orlando, the road is smooth!"

Matthew also raised his cup, "A good journey."

The three of them had a drink in the glass, chatted for a while, and then they broke up. There was still work waiting tomorrow.

Throughout November and the first half of December, Matthew has been shooting combat scenes in Morocco. Some combat scenes look simple, but they are full of situations when shooting. Especially when they are in the same frame with black actors hired by the crew in Morocco, black extras can always steal the limelight from the American soldiers with their faces, giggles and silly figures, forcing the filming to be interrupted.

Sometimes, Matthew also feels that these black people are born with funny talents, but unfortunately they always use the wrong thing.

On the contrary, the unusual faith shooting was used by black extras very well, and seemed to be born with the talent to use such cool shooting postures.

In fact, in the original work he has read, American soldiers have commented on the shooting skills of local African armed forces, "Don't be afraid, their gunshots are surprisingly bad, as long as you are careful not to be hit by stones." In addition, the ak-47 and 56 submachine guns widely used in Africa are famous for their large recoil and difficult to control, which often makes the shooting effect terrible.

For example, this war.

About 160 US troops were besieged by 4,000 militants. The two sides fought fiercely for one day, and 19 US troops were killed and 70 injured. Somalia lost more than a thousand. The US military was able to use fewer to many in this war. In addition to its own advantage in equipment and individual quality, the African black uncle also helped a lot.

In mid-December, Matthew received a call from Helen Hermann, who would come to the crew to visit his class before Christmas.

This is also good news. In a month and a half, except for the rest time of the week, some war scenes are basically filmed. Due to inexplicable reasons, some scenes of war are exhausted both physically and mentally.

Ben Foster once suggested going out to find a girl together, but was rejected by Matthew and James McAvoy. This is Africa. If you don’t want to get sick, it’s better to be self-disciplined.

As for on-site development within the crew, don’t think about it. Among the cast and crew members from North America, women can count them with two slaps, half of them are over forty years old, and the other half is not mentioned.

Among the extras hired, there are many women, and the problem is all local black females. For safety reasons, it is better to stay away from them.

As the shooting deepened, Matthew and Johnny Lee Miller also had the same scene, but Ridley Scott was there on the set, both of them were very restrained. Apart from the intersection during the shooting, they only had one private contact.

Johnny Lee Miller asked for the video tape again, and Matthew dragged it down again on the grounds that his girlfriend was not in Los Angeles. He swore that he would return the video tape to him as soon as the two returned to Los Angeles.

Anyway, after the filming is over, Johnny Lee Miller can't chase after him every day to ask for this video tape that doesn't exist at all, right? And Johnny Lee Miller can't tell anyone about this kind of thing.

In December, at the media meeting convened by the crew, the department responsible for publicity and distribution also made fake news.

An actor who plays a Rangers unit soldier, received an anonymous letter at the hotel door during the filming, thanking the crew and actors for their efforts and asking them to re-enact the battle truthfully, signed as all Rangers who died in the battle.

This letter and the actors who received the letter naturally appeared at the crew's media meeting, and were then widely reported by the media, not only for entertainment news, but also on the pages of many current news media.

The crew successfully launched a wave of early publicity, which made many people notice that "Black Hawk Down" is being filmed.

As for whether the person who sent the letter was the Ranger soldier of that year, no one cared about it.

Time is tight, the task is heavy, and temporary actors are frequently in trouble. The filming of the entire crew is not smooth, and it is even slightly behind the plan. This is why Matthew has been staying in Morocco.

As late December approached, someone finally came to visit his class.

"Ah, Helen..."

In the hotel restaurant, when he saw Helen Hermann in a professional suit, Matthew felt inexplicably friendly, "I'm so happy to see you."

Last week, James McAvoy and Ben Foster also left the crew.

"You look good." Helen Herman pointed to the chair opposite, "Sit!" After Matthew sat down, he said, "I'm in a good state of mind."

She pushed the menu to Matthew, and Matthew was not polite, and said while looking through, "Have you heard of it? This is called looking for fun in depression and pain, otherwise in a desert where birds do not shit, you must go crazy."

Helen Hermann looked at him and said, "I'm growing my beard and looking mature."

Matthew touched the beard that he had been left, "Photography is required."

He doesn't have the right to take care of this beard himself, and even if he grows up, he will have to find a stylist to repair it.

Perhaps Helen Hermann also knew the situation of the crew and said, "Come on whatever you want, I'll treat you."

She could see that her client was a little thinner and darker than when filming "The Return of the Mummy".

Matthew rushed back from the set and didn't have lunch at all. When the waiter came over, he ordered a few meat dishes one after another. Basically, the prices in the recipe were average and not polite to Helen Herman at all.

Helen Herman finished ordering his own and asked casually, "Is the shooting going smoothly?"

"Fortunately, it's just extras that make people feel a headache," Matthew said, rubbing his forehead, "Now when I see a black extra who has a gun, I feel like I can collapse at any time."

"It doesn't matter to me." Helen Hermann reminded him, "Don't talk nonsense outside, as it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Matthew put down his hand, picked up the water cup and took a sip, "I know, I haven't talked to anyone much for a week, I just complain to you. I can't complain to Ridley Scott, right?"

Helen Herman suddenly changed the subject, "Have you not seen you with your girlfriend?"

"No." Matthew shook his head, "She is recording her second album, and she's busier than me."

He then said, "Don't worry, we talk on the phone every day and our relationship is very stable."

The waiter then delivered the dishes one after another. Matthew temporarily stayed and focused on dealing with the delicious food. He was really hungry. The crew filmed in Africa and was not as good as in the UK. Although the food and accommodation standards were not low, the dishes were sometimes unpleasant.

Having eaten half full, Matthew raised his head and asked, "Helen, you're not just visiting me?"

Based on his knowledge of Helen Hermann, she was probably just a by the way to visit the set, and there must be work matters.

"I have something to go to the UK." Helen Hermann was also very direct. "I thought I was not far from North Africa, so I came to see you. I have a few work matters, and I want to tell you."

Matthew spread his hands, "I knew it was."

Helen Hermann ignored Matthew's words and began to talk about work. "Dreamworks and HBO have determined the broadcast time of "Brothers" and will be next spring. They are currently preparing for a premiere, which is planned to be held at Jewish Beach in Normandy. It is said that many veterans from the 101st Airborne Division have been invited."

Matthew became interested as soon as he heard this, "Am I in the invitation?"

"Of course," Helen Hermann put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said, "The crew of "Brothers" sent you a formal invitation letter, and the invitation letter is in the Burbank company. I will give it to you when you go back."

After hearing what she said, Matthew said with relief, looking very casual, "No hurry to do this."

Helen Hermann turned a blind eye to these things and continued, "The Return of the Mummy is also confirmed to be released."

"Is that true?" Matthew had been looking forward to the release of the film as soon as possible, asking, "When? Will next summer?"

"Yes, the summer season." Helen Herman remembered it very clearly, without even thinking about it. "The North American release date is May 4, and the world premiere will be held at the end of April. According to the contract you signed with the crew, you must attend the premiere."

Matthew immediately said, "Of course! Be sure to participate!"

Only fools would take such a good opportunity to not go.

"And." Helen Herman does have a lot of work. "Universal Pictures requires you to participate in pre-screening promotions. They will notify you ten days in advance of the specific announcements you participate in."

"It's okay." Matthew knew that these were all opportunities to increase his popularity, "You can help me coordinate the schedule at that time."

He felt that he had eaten 80% full, so he put down his knife and fork. Now he had enough wine and meals. He brought all the good news from Shanghai Lun Hermann and was in a very good mood.

Think about it, in the first half of next year, two works he participated in have entered the broadcast stage, and maybe they can become famous and embark on the road of Hollywood stars...

How many people who enter this industry don’t want to become famous and become celebrities? Perhaps there are probably none of them in a thousand.
