Chapter 759 Friends of Women
Some time ago, the shooting of Burbank, a satellite city in Los Angeles, caused a lot of controversy, and there were many reports here that a Hollywood star, facing three gun-holding terrorists, was not only not injured, but also almost knocked the terrorist to the ground with his own strength, which surprised countless people.
There are not no action stars in China, but media practitioners are very clear that the most famous action stars are just scheming.
How many people can launch a thunder strike when danger is like Matthew Horner, knocking down three gun-holding terrorists in just a few dozen seconds?
Isn't Matthew Horner afraid?
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid to die." Matthew said calmly, "In the face of the threat of death, how many people are not afraid?"
He smiled and said, "I have come into contact with many soldiers because of filming, many of them have been on the battlefield. They told me that even veterans are afraid of death. Because this is human instinct."
After hearing what Matthew said, the reporters and the audience not only did not contempt, but instead felt that he was particularly real.
For most people, who is not afraid of death?
Matthew continued, "I am just an ordinary person. For shooting needs, I practice free fighting for many years and have practiced with professional players. I am pretty good at it. Also, I am a member of a firearm club in Los Angeles. Although I have never purchased a gun, I have a legal gun license and often practice shooting."
He shrugged slightly, "Even so, I am still scared when facing three terrorists holding guns."
Audiences and reporters increasingly feel that this Hollywood action superstar is completely different from the domestic group of action-playing players. Those people are all amazing, as if they can play like movies in reality.
Matthew pointed to his chest, "It is precisely because I have practiced shooting that I can't stand a bullet when I know any part of my body."
The audience agreed from the bottom of their hearts that although some of them were sensible, those who were clear-headed knew that whether they were kung fu or free fighting, they were useless in front of hot weapons.
"Then why did you stand up and fight back?" the reporter asked curiously.
"Because I'm afraid of death!" Matthew was still selling his real character, "I'm afraid of pain, fear of death, and fear of losing everything I'm now, so I have to fight back."
He said seriously, "I was facing a desperate situation at that time. If I don't fight back, I can only die. The goddess of luck favored me and I survived."
Suddenly someone stood up from the rostrum, without using the microphone, shouting loudly, "I don't think this is the case. It's a long-term hard training that ensures that you can become a winner!"
"right!"
"That's it!"
An echo sounded among ordinary audiences and college students
Everyone knows that when faced with such a situation, ordinary people can't do anything if they want to fight back.
The reporter asked again, "Mr. Horner, do they make sense?"
Matthew smiled, "There is a factor in this regard." He still emphasized, "The main thing is that I am lucky."
In this country, you must be humble, so that you can win recognition more than awesomeness.
Sure enough, there were more voices behind the rostrum. It was not until the host Chen Datou, who spoke, that the auditorium gradually became quiet.
Matthew watched everything that happened and was getting closer to achieving this goal.
Asked the question and continued. Then it was time for the fans and ordinary audiences to ask questions. Chen Datou casually ordered a fan of medium figure among ordinary fans.
"In the movie, you are superb. We watched that gunfight video. You knocked down a terrorist with lightning speed, which was very shocking." The male movie fan said a lot before asking, "Matthew, have you practiced kung fu?"
Matthew shook his head slowly, "No, I practice free fighting."
The male fan said again, "We have many kung fu masters here. Will you ask them for advice?"
"Look at the time." Matthew smiled, "I want to learn and work hard, too."
He used learning, not asking for advice. This word can lead to too many ambiguities.
Matthew has been practicing free fighting for a long time, and actually wants to compete with others, but just think about it. After all, no matter whether he wins or loses, he is a loser.
If he loses, his reputation will be ruined; if he wins, he will probably disappear immediately and become a public enemy of the whole people.
He came here to explore the market, rather than letting a market close the door to him.
The second person who stood up and asked a question was a student from the Film Academy, who seemed to be a student from the Performance Department.
"Hello, Matthew." The student introduced himself first, "I am Lin Yuan, a student at the Film Academy."
Matthew nodded with a smile, "Hello, Lin Yuan."
The student named Lin Yuan asked, "I have read a lot of reports about Hollywood. It says that before the male and female leads play some roles, they spend a lot of time experiencing the real life of the characters. For example, in many reports, you will participate in military training when shooting military themes, and start training a few months in advance when shooting action movies. Are these real?"
"It must be." Matthew said casually, "This is the most basic. I believe you have similar courses in your studies."
"Yeah." Lin Yuan responded.
Matthew said again, "When filming "Brothers", I trained for more than a month, and practiced crawling in mud and water in winter. When filming "Black Hawk Down", I practiced cradles and landing..."
Speaking of this, he paused for a while, then smiled and said, "The situation has improved a lot in the past two years. I will not spend a few more months specifically training for the characters' action scenes or gun battle scenes."
Just now, under the rostrum, someone muttered to the person next to him, "I'm so famous, don't work hard anymore."
Matthew couldn't hear what the people below said, and didn't care what they said. "Because I regarded fighting training and shooting training as routine exercises for morning jogging every day, I entered the action-type crew, and without action guidance, I also required me to spend a lot of time training."
He said with a very stylish look, "To be honest, the audience should not be allowed to know the experiences behind the actors, as this may affect the audience's viewing psychology. These are just what the actors themselves should do and are the most basic."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan was the first to applaud, and then more people began to applaud, and another warm applause burst out from the auditorium.
"These are the most basic for a real actor." The older teacher clapped, "This is a good actor."
The younger teacher responded, "There is a result of cause. It is not without reason that Matthew Horner can reach this point today. The path of an actor like him will only get better and better."
Chen Datou's eyes floated over Matthew's face. After working together for the period of time, she could see that this guy from the other side of the Pacific Ocean not only knew the situation here, but also seemed to have a high emotional intelligence.
When answering questions, you always unconsciously bring people's thinking toward their rhythm, thus creating a sense of identity in life.
The Hollywood stars she had met before were not that smart.
It may be inaccurate to say that being smart is not very accurate. To be precise, those Hollywood stars do not value this place as much as he does.
"Come on." Matthew reminded softly.
Chen Datou smiled, then called an ordinary movie fan to ask a question.
The movie fan is about twenty years old and wears a pair of black-framed glasses and looks very ordinary.
But the questions he asked were not ordinary.
"Matthew, I'm your fan. I've seen all the works you've participated in since you starred in "Gladiator" until now." The questions he asked were quite amazing. "Now there are unspoken rules in the entertainment industry on the Internet, and if you understand it rationally, you will know that this is real."
It seems that some staff member was going to go over to grab the microphone, and the man suddenly speeded up his speech, "Does Hollywood have unspoken rules?"
This question is too sensitive, and even Matthew didn't expect anyone to ask such a question directly.
The reporter and the audience's eyes were aimed at Matthew in unison, as if they wanted to see how he answered.
"You can't answer." Chen Datou's mouth moved slightly, reminding him in a mosquito-like voice, "Say you don't understand the meaning of this word."
Matthew remained silent, and in just a moment, he had already figured out the answer.
Since it was a public meeting and someone asked a question and he had a suitable answer, then he would answer it.
"I understand what you mean." Matthew said seriously. "I don't understand here, I just say that Hollywood, there is such a situation in Hollywood."
Many Hollywood stars have publicly said this kind of thing, but they never name it, so he just said roughly, "The important departments of Hollywood production companies and crew are all occupied by men, men occupy an absolute dominance and women's status is relatively low, which has caused serious imbalance in resources and development opportunities."
The audience and reporters in the auditorium did not expect that Matthew would really answer, so he was a little surprised. After all, those people in China never responded positively.
"In fact, this situation is not just Hollywood and the entertainment industry." Matthew began to bring his own rhythm, "It exists in all industries and even the entire society. In North America, offices have office politics and business circles have secrets. Women always face more threats and injustice than men."
Many people are nodding because reality is indeed the case.
Only few people realize that the topic has been brought to another side by Matthew.
Matthew said affectionately and seriously, "Women's social status and power have not been taken seriously. If they want to eliminate some rules that should not exist, as a modern society, both men and women, they should have the responsibility to promote the development of the equal rights movement and do their best to do a little shameful work for gender equality."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Datou was the first to applaud. All the women under the rostrum applauded, and then more people were applauding.
The older teacher couldn't help but applaud and sigh, "This person is really extraordinary."
The younger teacher agreed deeply that although there is no equal rights movement here, there is also a saying that women can stand half the sky. Matthew Horner cleverly led a sensitive issue to a topic of value orientation that is extremely correct on both sides of the Pacific, which is both urgent and intelligent, and also reflects the understanding of this side.
