Sitting behind the monitor, Tom Hanks basically didn't say anything since the audition, but the pen in his hand occasionally wrote a few sentences on the actor's information. These few short comments will determine the success or failure of each actor in this audition.

He lowered his head and drew a red "X" on the information of an actor who auditioned before, and wrote nothing. Such people don't even have to watch the audition video, and can be eliminated directly.

The impression that actor left on Tom Hanks was really bad. He was tall and strong, and was very suitable for playing a tough guy role. He walked crookedly and stood loose in front of the camera. Even in a military uniform, he looked like a gangster thug and a gangster, rather than an iron-blooded soldier on the battlefield.

Such people have no need to consider it.

Tom Hanks put down his pen and looked up. He happened to see another actor coming over and nodded slightly. This one is much better than the one just now!

The other party gets closer and closer, and compared with the previous one, it is simply a gap between heaven and earth.

This person is tall and straight, and walks very steadily every step. Although his face looks quite young, his expression is firm and his eyes are bright, making people feel that he is the kind of person who is trustworthy and relied upon at first glance.

Tom Hanks couldn't help but open the actor's information and looked down. The name marked on it was Matthew Horner.

He picked up a pen and drew a circle on Matthew Horner's name. The person's appearance and temperament are very suitable for playing a tough soldier. From the external conditions alone, among the five actors who have entered the audition room, he is the most suitable for the role of Ronald Spears.

There are also problems. He looks a little young, but with a makeup artist here, it is not a big problem.

Of course, Tom Hanks was not so arbitrary, so he only drew a circle. The specific situation depends on the effect of his audition. If he performed poorly, he would hold the pen in his hand and he could change the circle to a red cross at any time.

"Matthew Horner..." Tom Hanks spoke without warning, "Please introduce yourself."

In the audition room, the rest of the crew looked at Tom Hanks with a little surprise. No one seemed to have thought that he would speak on his own initiative. Today's audition has been held. This is the first time Tom Hanks talked to the actors!

The other four actors are basically casting directors asking questions.

The actor in front of the camera shot began to introduce himself. Everyone else in the crew looked over and saw that this man looked like a standard World War II paratrooper, standing there like a javelin, with a tough and resolute face and strong speech, making people vaguely feel a unique temperament of men and soldiers.

These people instantly understood that it must be the temperament and external conditions of this young actor named Matthew Horner that touched the demanding Tom Hanks.

They are all participants in the project, and knowing that Tom Hanks, who initiated and led "Brothers", was under tremendous pressure. Companies such as HBO, DreamWorks and BBC threw up production costs of up to $100 million on the miniseries. If they were screwed up, even if he was Tom Hanks, the consequences would be serious.

So, from scripts to props to costumes to actors, even a small detail, Tom Hanks demanded very strictly.

Especially for actors, it is said that he and Steven Spielberg have rejected many relationships that are not suitable for military personnel.

No one dares to joke about a $100 million project.

Matthew stood there, and at the request of Tom Hanks, he roughly told his resume.

No one in the crew was dissatisfied with his resume. After all, he played the role of Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" for previous promotions, and also played the leading role in Britney's MV of Little Sweet, which basically meets the crew's requirement that the crew must have certain qualifications and be well-known but not very high.

After listening to the actor's introduction, the casting director looked at Tom Hanks, and saw that Tom Hanks had no intention of speaking. Following the previous audition process, he said, "Let's walk around the audition room."

Matthew immediately stepped on his long legs and walked around the audition room.

Then, at the request of the casting director, he made several other moves, all of which were mainly about showing his figure and appearance.

"Get him a script." The casting director said to an assistant, "you go and play against him."

An assistant director walked up to Matthew and gave him a script that only had one page, and the page was not full, and there was no strict framework for the performance of the role of Ronald Spears.

The scene design of the script is very simple. Two new recruits from the E Company were digging foxholes. Ronald Spears, the new company commander of the E Company, passed by near them and heard the soldiers' comments about him.

The audition performance part began soon, with the assistant director playing two roles one by one, and of course he just read lines for these two roles.

"Have you heard of it?" The assistant director was dedicated. "The new company commander Captain Spears killed German prisoners of war after the D-Japanese airborne!"

Then he changed his tone, "I heard that Captain Spears first sent smoke to the German prisoners of war, and then..."

According to the script's requirements, Matthew should be on the stage at this time, but the script only stipulates that he interrupts at this time, but does not write about what he wants to do and what should he say.

In the face of this situation, Ronald Spears did what he did and said was completely performed on the spot by the audition actors.

Matthew didn't expect this, even Helen Hermann did not expect it.

Therefore, unlike fully prepared for appearance conditions such as posture and appearance, he can only perform on the spot.

Fortunately, Helen Hermann collected a large amount of information for this audition, including not only the original work of "Brothers", but also the memoirs of David Kennyon Webster. Matthew was diligent and hardworking enough to study these carefully and make a large number of analytical notes, especially the character of Ronald Spears. He used a lot of time to gradually outline a contour.

There is no such scene in the original novel. Matthew guessed that it should be part of the script, but no one of the audition actors got the script. He could only imagine what a hard-core soldier would say and do based on Ronald Spears' personality.

After all, under normal circumstances, what a person says and does is inseparable from his personality.

Matthew only thought of one line, one line that was very consistent with the character of a hard-core soldier, Ronald Spears.

He walked to the assistant director, carrying a Chicago typewriter in one hand, and touched it into his pocket with the other hand. There was no expression on his face, and asked coldly, "Do you want to smoke?"

"I..." The assistant director was stunned by his words, and then he reacted, "No...no."

Matthew turned around and walked away expressionlessly.

"stop!"

The casting director stopped the performance and looked at Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks did not say anything. He pressed the playback button on the monitor and watched the performance just now. When he heard the line the actor said, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Although this kind of response is not very consistent with the script's setting, it is similar. It seems that this young actor has put in a lot of effort and has completely grasped the essence of the role of Ronald Spears.

"He has read the original work a lot, right?" Tom Hanks is a hard-working person who likes hard-working actors, "It's very good."

Picking up the pen, he drew a circle on Matthew Horner's information, and the performance lasted for half a minute. He thought it was enough that the young actor's acting skills were enough to cope with the role. What should be considered is whether he could make the role outstanding.

"Matthew Horner." Tom Hanks spoke again, "I have a few questions that you need to answer."

Everyone, including the casting director and the assistant director, looked at Tom Hanks, who was obviously moved by the young actor, at least in one aspect.

In the previous four auditions, Tom Hanks didn't even say much.

The casting director opened Matthew's information and directly drew a triangle representing his focus on it.

Matthew nodded, still standing there like a javelin.

Tom Hanks put down his pen and asked, "Why don't you respond positively?"

Matthew knew what he was asking and said, "This kind of false thing does not need to be explained. I think neither denying nor acknowledgement is the best answer. The script I got said that Ronald Spears had just served as the company commander of the E Company, and the E Company added a large number of recruits. It is likely that some people do not believe in him as the company commander. The shooting of German prisoners of war is not a bad thing for quickly controlling the E Company and intimidating the recruits."

The reason why he was able to say these words was thanks to Matthew's careful preparation for a month. Without Helen Herman's information, long-term repeated study, and even if he had limited writing skills, he would have insisted on taking notes and doing written analysis. Now he could not say it at all.

Tom Hanks picked up the pen and drew a circle on Matthew's materials.

When the rest of the crew heard Matthew's words, they nodded secretly. Among the five people who entered the audition room, he was indeed the best one.

But none of these people spoke. They knew very well that they were just accompanying the examiner. The real examiner was now only Tom Hanks.
