The waiting room was extremely quiet, and other actors who participated in the audition glanced from time to time from time to time. Since they were interested in competing for one of the supporting actors, they certainly knew who the protagonist of the film was. The most important reason why this project is so attractive is that Christopher Nolan and Matthew Horner.

Especially Matthew Horner, it is simply synonymous with success, and it is even more likely to become popular with his popularity.

The situation is now that Matthew Horner is very familiar with one of their competitors and looks very difficult to do with.

Looking at James McAvoy, many people began to complain in their hearts: You know Matthew Horner, say it earlier, why are you doing auditions? It's a waste of time for everyone.

We were originally playing games on the same platform, so you just got a super plug-in and let others play it no matter how much?

With a golden thigh like Matthew Horner, it will not take a minute to win such a supporting role.

"Not such an interesting person as Tom Hardy..."

Regardless of other people's opinions and thoughts, James McAvoy kept shaking his head at Matthew, "It's so regretful! Don't you think there's something missing in the future crew?"

In fact, he has already met Christopher Nolan, and auditions are more about procedures. After all, the crew has held a large-scale audition, which has attracted many well-known actors in the circle to participate. They can't stop at any time, and stopping is also very unfavorable to publicity.

Matthew shrugged, "I can't blame me."

James McAvoy complained intentionally, "You must have scared him away."

"Or it would be like this." Matthew said seriously. "I'll ask someone to ask where he lives. Do you come to him personally?"

James McAvoy was vague, "I'll ask Michael before."

"Where is Michael?" Matthew remembered Michael Fassbender, "He hasn't come to Los Angeles yet?"

"No." James McAvoy shook his head. "He is also filming Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Bastard in France, and it is estimated that it will not be available for audition next week."

Matthew nodded. At this time, a crew member came to inform James McAvoy to go to the audition room. When James McAvoy walked to the audition room, he also got up and left.

The audition for the crew will last more than half a month. Although James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender have a great chance of passing the audition, no one can guarantee it until the results are officially released.

Although Matthew is a nominal producer, he does not have much say in his roles other than Daum Cobb. The person with the most power in the crew is Christopher Nolan.

This is also the first time Christopher Nolan got rid of Charles Rowan and was an independent producer after collaborating with Warner.

In the following days, Matthew still came to the crew on time every day. In addition to rehearsing his scenes, reading some books related to dreams, he also communicated with Christopher Nolan, and sometimes rehearsed scenes with Michael Cain and Cillian Murphy.

From these two people, Matthew also knew that he was not Nolan's first choice. When the film was first planned, Nolan invited "Batman" Christian Bale to be the male lead, but Bale rejected Nolan's kindness because of the conflict in the shooting schedule of "Terminator 4". Then Nolan quickly thought of him who once hoped to work on the Joker, which led to what happened later.

No matter who Nolan liked first, the male lead is now his.

Matthew knew very well that he needed a movie with a big box office and reputation to redeem part of the market appeal of "Superman Hancock" overdraft.

At the beginning, he only remembered that this was one of Will Smith's popular movies, but he never thought that this movie was really bad.

To be precise, starting from the small supporting role in "Brothers", "Hancock, the All-Man" is the worst of all his films.

This film has achieved great commercial success, but what he consumed was his years of accumulation. This consumption often requires several films to make up for.

Worried that "Superman Hancock" will drag down the films that will be starring later, Matthew is also asking Helen Herman to communicate with Disney Pictures and Bowei International to develop a better promotional and distribution strategy for "Fast and Furious 4".

However, his own energy is mainly focused on "Inception", and Christopher Nolan's requirements for actors and roles are much higher than Stephen Somos.

Before the filming begins, he must take the role of Totorm Cobb.

Matthew got the script as early as last year this year, and kept in touch with Christopher Nolan during the period. In addition to filming "Special Forces", he has been studying the male lead Daum Cobb, and has taken a lot of notes on it.

Although he couldn't do as persistent and crazy as Heath Ledger, he also established an emotional connection with Dom Cobb in his own way.

For this role, he is the person who knows the most about the crew except Christopher Nolan himself.

Ma Xiu’s preparation for this role is mainly divided into two aspects.

First, the analysis of personality and behavior is introduced, and second, the image of Daum Cobb is established with practical actions.

The latter looks easy, and it also makes some so-called experts very disdainful. In fact, it is very important. After Matthew came to the crew for formal registration on the first day, he appeared in the crew as a unique image.

She is suit and tie, with beautiful golden brown hair, and a typical middle-class style, but her face is a bit vicissitudes and her beard is unshakable.

Only by establishing the character’s image can you explore the character more deeply.

Daum Cobb is the male protagonist throughout the film, and is also a complex psychologically entangled role that Matthew rarely plays.

In the script, his main task is to lead his elite team to complete arduous dream inception missions and steal intelligence. Dream inception is just a regular business. For Cobb, the biggest threat to his life is to be forced to implant consciousness for the action target and complete a criminal plan.

Of course, Daum Cobb is definitely not a ruthless criminal expert. His weaknesses in front of women are incredible. It is precisely because of this that his career can be reversed.

Matthew's personal understanding may be one-sided or biased, but one thing is very certain: this male lead is a type he has never played in the past.

Hancock was also very painful inside, but he was troubled by his own "miss memory loss", which led to confusion; the character of Daum Cobb was troubled by others' dreams, which eventually caused countless disasters. In terms of the degree of inner pain, it can be compared with Howard Hughes in "The Flyer".

When studying this role, it is hard for Matthew not to think of Leonardo DiCaprio. After all, that movie once left a deeper impression on him. I vaguely remember that "Inception" was also the most widely circulated movie Leonardo DiCaprio has since "Titanic".

Now, Leonardo DiCaprio has completely transformed from a handsome idol in "Titanic" to a deep and old man. Although some people lament that "the handsome man is old" and conclude that Xiao Li has grown old, a man's acting skills are enough to make up for his appearance changes.

Of course, Matthew doesn't think so.

This is the self-psychological comfort of all those who have become disabled.

A man as heroic as him never needs anything messy to make up for his appearance, because he has no flaws!

The male protagonist in the script studied by Matthew is actually different from the Leonardo DiCaprio's who he once watched. The most prominent point is that Christopher Nolan sets up a good skill for Daum Cobb in order to match his characteristics and to show his selling points in the movie. He also sets up a few related action scenes.

However, the number of these scenes is limited, and Christopher Nolan clearly told Matthew that he had not thought about how to use these action scenes and whether to actually join the final film.

As time approached the end of the year, Matthew successfully established the role of Daum Cobb and did not continue to interpret it. The disadvantages of transitional interpretation for actors are far greater than gains. Christopher Nolan actually wanted to make a commercial movie that was different from popcorn, and he didn't have much thoughts.

Maybe Nolan fans don't think so, but that's the truth.

In fact, since "The Moment of War", Christopher Nolan has completely transformed from an independent film director to a commercial film director. Even though the script of "Inception" seems complicated, it is not so obscure that it makes people crazy. Christopher Nolan did not want to make this movie to make people confused.

Even though the unstable mental state and unreliable logical reasoning have always been the recurring themes in Nolan's films, if it is really like "Memory Fragments", Warner Bros. will be crazy, and even if the success of "The Dark Knight" will intervene.

Having said that, for industry insiders like Matthew, the scripts in their hands seem novel and breakthrough, seem endlessly creative, and seem impeccable. They are clearly a variation of traditional adventure films, and the form is changed without the medicine.

Essentially like The Dark Knight.

As long as it is a big commercial production, Matthew is confident that he can control the role.

It was probably because he had watched independent art films for a limited number of times, and he never understood those crazy and neurotic performances.

Perhaps he will never become a professional actor in his life.

But this is nothing in Matthew's eyes. Now, if you want money and fame, why do you want to act like something that you don't like, feel uncomfortable and hate to suffer?

Didn’t that disgusting yourself to please a small group of people?

With his current status, there is no need to do this at all.

Therefore, after receiving the Oscar votes on December 30, Matthew was very interested in being a judge, and he lacked interest in participating in the Oscar competition.
