Chapter 60: Temperament is the Soul of Image

(I have collected it for 8,000 yuan, continue to ask for support! The more recommendation votes, the better!)

Faced with fierce competition, let alone win, even if you want to have hope of winning, you must be 100% prepared. Since the crew of "Brothers" is still in the initial preparation stage, all kinds of information are strictly controlled, and the information Matthew received was all obtained by Helen Hermann for a lot of effort.

Although these cannot guarantee that he passes the audition, if he does not study it carefully, the chance of passing the audition will be smaller.

In the next few days, except for going to the performance class to continue classes, Matthew spent the rest of his time studying the information provided by Helen Hermann.

Although these materials are not particularly detailed, they all have relevant descriptions from the project background of "Brothers" to the settings of some supporting roles.

Matthew thought Helen Herman was quite good at getting such a document before the audition.

Helen Hermann first indicated for Matthew in the information that the three people with the greatest power in the crew, namely Gary Gotzman, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. These three people almost hold all the crew's personnel rights, filming rights and production rights.

The three of them have a good relationship. Tom Hanks and Gary Gotzmann have collaborated on "Philadelphia Story" and "The Unstoppable Miracle"; Tom Hanks and Spielberg have collaborated on "Save Private Ryan", and according to the information, the two will continue to collaborate in addition to "Brothers".

In addition, Helen Hermann also noted that Tom Hanks is not only the producer of "Brothers", but also most likely the director of one of the episodes.

She analyzed that Tom Hanks was the leader of the entire series.

In other words, if you can handle Tom Hanks, as long as your performance during the audition is above the level, there is still a lot of hope to win the role of Ronald Spears.

The question is how to deal with Tom Hanks? Helen Hermann has made it clear that she has no conversation with people of the same level as Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

As for Matthew himself, he is not underestimating himself. His status with these two people in the industry is probably so far away from the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, so even the Indian Ocean is included.

Can we rely on the advantages of foresight to perform appropriate operations like the male protagonist who got Britney's MV? Matthew recalled the memories of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. These two are famous, but they have no impression of the related gossip scandals.

Moreover, these two people are not young, both have rich social experience and experience. They may cause trouble by using low-level methods like Britney.

Matthew thought about the information for a long time, but had no clue.

No wonder Helen Hermann asked him to do his best when auditioning, which may be the only chance to win.

In the past, there was no way to go, Matthew simply threw it aside and continued to read other information, especially about the character setting.

Helen Hermann received news from Eric Poker that the overall style of "Brothers" will follow "Save Private Ryan" collaborated by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. However, unlike the fictional story of "Save Private Ryan", "Brothers" is adapted from real stories, and each character has a prototype with the same name and surname. Even Tom Hanks plans to shoot some scenes to "supervise the battle" aside to ensure the real restoration.

In terms of the plot, due to the crew's confidentiality, Helen Hermann only got a very simple story outline, which roughly means that the drama focuses on the European battlefield of World War II, telling the story of soldiers of the E Company of the Second Battalion of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army's 434-day journey from the Georgia training camp to the European battlefield.

The most useful information in this regard is that each episode of the miniseries has relatively concentrated characters. Through the enhanced description of the characters, the progress of the war is always grasped while always grasping the characters' psychology and state, and using characters to support the restoration of the war scenes in the play.

In other words, each episode will have a relative protagonist.

Will the character Ronald Spears be the protagonist of one of the episodes? Matthew naturally thought of the role he was preparing to compete for. Unfortunately, like the specific plot, this is highly confidential information from the crew, and Helen Hermann could not get it at all.

Another point, Helen Hermann also found out that in addition to the book "Brothers", the diary memoirs of E-Company soldier David Kennyn Webster are also an important source of script creation.

Unfortunately, this diary memoir is already in the hands of the crew, and she is still trying to find a copy.

Looking at the description above the information, Matthew could only sigh that Helen Hermann is a bit arrogant and his toothpaste-squeezing speech is also a headache, but in terms of seriousness and responsibility, there is basically nothing to be picky about.

The information was very thick, Helen Hermann did a very meticulous preparation, Matthew continued to look back and then saw a message that would increase his confidence.

Gary Gotzman, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg have reached an agreement on the actors. In order to avoid the actor's popularity blurring the true colors of "Brothers", the crew will select actors that most audiences are not very familiar with to enhance authenticity and persuasion.

"No wonder Helen asked me to fight for such an important role." Matthew nodded secretly, "It's not that there is no chance at all."

Next is the role situation. Helen Hermann is completely sure that Richard Winters will be the absolute protagonist of this series.

The other role introduction Matthew just took a quick look and then focused on the role of Ronald Spears he was about to compete for.

Helen Hermann also pointed out that Matthew was competing for another disadvantage in the role, he was younger.

However, this is not a big problem. Helen Hermann believes that he is mentally mature and his appearance is not a problem in front of Hollywood makeup.

Moreover, for Westerners, the difference between being around twenty and being in their twenties is not very big.

There are rough settings on the information. In addition to what Helen Hermann said, it is also stated that this is a tough soldier with super combat power. It turned out that he served in the D Company. In the brutal battle in the snow in Bastogne, Belgium, Spears stepped forward and temporarily appointed as the commander of the E Company.

In addition, Helen Helman specifically noted that this person had killed German prisoners of war.

"Has I killed prisoners of war?"

The information provided on the information is actually very limited. If you want to learn more about this role, Matthew thinks you should carefully study the original work of "Brothers".

If Matthew had read such a novel a few months ago, he would have a headache. Fortunately, after these months of persistent reading practice, he would not dare to say that his reading level has improved rapidly. It would not be very difficult to read through the original novel of "Brothers".

Not only did he study it himself, Matthew's own level was limited, but he also went to consult his teacher David Astor in his spare time in the performance class.

Matthew chose to tell David Astor about the audition and role.

"You mean you got an audition for Spielberg and Tom Hanks' "Brothers"?"

In the office, David Astor touched his bald head and said to Matthew, "This is a rare opportunity. If you seize it, it will be very helpful for your future career development."

Matthew looked worried, "I want to grasp it too, but there may be dozens of people competing for this role." He thought for a while and said directly, "Mr. Astor, I came to you to ask, how can I better grasp the role of an iron-blooded soldier?"

"The role of an iron-blooded soldier..." David Astor glanced at Matthew and said, "Your appearance conditions have natural advantages, but this advantage is basically useless during auditions. The actors who can participate in the audition competition will definitely not match the appearance and role of the actors who can participate in the audition competition at this level."

Matthew nodded, "You know, I have relatively little qualifications and are much worse than most people. I can only find ways to perform in the audition."

"The audition performance is still very important for the role competition," David Astor asked again. "If you decide on the audition in the hands of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, the audition performance will be more important!"

The other party is an old actor. He has worked hard in Hollywood for decades. Matthew believes that his experience may help him and asked, "Why?"

David Astor smiled and said, "At the level of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, there are few people and things that can impress them. This is just a small supporting role. If a big person wants to get this role through their relationship, it will take a huge favor. What will you pay for the favors of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg in the future? Is it worth owing such a big favor for such a small role?"

Matthew thought about it. If he had enough weight to talk to Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, he would definitely not be willing to owe these two people a favor because of such a small matter.

According to the custom on the other side of the Pacific, human debt is often the hardest to pay, and I believe there are similarities here.

"We are still talking about roles, tough guys, iron-blooded soldiers, especially the realistic World War II type, and the performance does not allow for any jokes, jokes and deceptions."

David Astor used decades of experience to help Matthew analyze, "The temperament of this kind of character is the soul of image! Without the strong temperament of a soldier, he would not be able to act properly and would not be able to act well!"

He recalled and said, "Matthew, I have participated in the shooting of several World War II films. In my understanding, only by real experience, dare to work hard and spare no effort can the actors be consistent with the image recognized by the Iron Blood Army."

Matthew nodded. Although David Astor said nothing profound, he could indeed help him.

"If you say too much, it will easily cause interference to you." David Astor smiled and shook his head, "Matthew, all I can say is this. The rest depends on yourself."

"Thank you." Matthew stood up and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Astor, your words helped me a lot."
