Chapter 86 Well done
Please vote for recommendation!
Matthew has made sufficient preparations for his role in the past few months, and Ronald Spears is also a role carefully selected by Helen Hermann based on his own strengths and weaknesses. This tough guy-like iron-blooded soldier has the expression on his face most of the time, and he doesn't need the actors to make too many adjustments.
This can appropriately cover up the shortcomings of Marthu's lack of acting skills.
Matthew stood on the side of the two main actors, Damian Lewis and Neil McDonald, and waited for the filming to begin.
He has been preparing for so long and is full of expectations for the shooting.
"Brothers, episode 2, scene 11, act 5, now begin!"
The moment the sound of the scene was heard, Matthew immediately entered the state. He practiced this scene in front of the mirror for more than twenty times, and he was already familiar with it.
Unlike his self-rehearsal, there are more actors and cameras around him, but he is not a newbie and will not make the low-level mistake of looking at camera lenses again.
"Lt. Spears!" Damian Lewis looked at Matthew and asked, "How are you there?"
Matthew shook his head slightly, "Not very good."
Damian Lewis asked again, “How many people did D company gather?”
Matthew showed helplessness on his face, "There are not many people, about twenty..."
"Stop!" Director Richard Ronklein shouted to stop shooting, "No!"
Hearing this, Matthew immediately got rid of the role, quickly recalled his performance just now, trying to find out where he made a mistake.
After all, the director shouted to stop when he was speaking his lines.
Director Richard Ronklein stood up and waved his hands to the three actors in front of the camera. "It has nothing to do with you, it's because there is something wrong with the scene design."
He came between Matthew and Damian Lewis, first looked at Matthew, then Damian Lewis, frowned and thought.
Matthew subconsciously wanted to touch his face, but suddenly realized that there was camouflage on his face, so he had to touch his helmet.
"Redesign the scene!" Richard Ronkline came out between Matthew and Damian Lewis, "I want to adjust the scene."
The original role was that Ronald Spears, played by Maxica, stood here, said a few words to Damian Lewis and left, and then went to the German prisoners of war, which was also considered to be the role of the introduction.
Richard Longckline obviously had his own ideas. After a brief conversation with Tom Hanks, he also received support from Tom Hanks.
As for the actors' opinions, including Damian Lewis, none of the three are well-known actors, so they can be basically ignored.
In most cases, actors can't even get into the mouth.
Soon, Richard Ronkline completed the adjustment and came to the middle of the three actors.
He first looked at Matthew and said, "Don't stand here when the filming starts."
Matthew thought he was going to delete Ronald Spears' role here, and he was a little nervous, but he nodded and said, "Okay."
Richard Ronkline turned to Damian Lewis and Neil MacDonald, "You continue to talk to Lieutenant Meehan and the Supreme Commander of the E Company."
Damian Lewis and Neil McDonald had no objection.
"Matthew!" Richard Ronkline turned back and pointed at Damian Lewis and Neil MacDonald. "You come from the camp and wait until the two of them are about to come, and the lines remain unchanged."
He personally demonstrated his move and said to Matthew, "When you leave, remember to ask them for cigarettes, and you will send cigarettes to the Germans next time."
"I get it." Matthew said.
His scenes were not deleted, but instead increased a little from the script.
"Okay!" Richard Ronkline returned to the director's position and shouted, "You guys practice it once."
Matthew, Damian Lewis and Neil McDonald, quickly became familiar with the new design, and then the shooting started again.
This time, Matthew stood outside the camera leaning towards the battalion and listened carefully to the conversation between Damian Lewis and Neil MacDonald.
"...If he is missing, Dick." Neil MacDonald said to Damian Lewis, "Aren't you the highest commander of the E Company?"
Hearing this, Matthew walked over immediately. When he was almost close to the two of them, Damian Lewis turned his head and looked over, and took the initiative to say hello, "Hi, Lieutenant Spears."
Matthew came to him and shook hands with Damian Lewis, "Hi, Dick."
Damian Lewis asked, “How many people did D company gather?”
"Not too many." Matthew's face had basically no expression, "about twenty people."
"You are the only officer?" Damian Lewis asked again.
Matthew nodded slightly, "Currently, yes." He paused intentionally and said, "I'm still waiting for the order."
From the beginning to now, he had no extra movements or expressions, and was as cold as a rock.
In the film and television works and related materials that Matthew has studied, the iron-blooded soldiers are basically like this.
He asked, "Do you have cigarettes?"
Damian Lewis shook his head, Neil McDonald took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed them over. Matthew didn't say a word, turned around and left directly.
Director Richard Ronklein's voice came at this time, "Okay! This one has passed!" Then, he shouted loudly, "Redirect shooting!"
The crew was about to go to the set next to film the scene of the German prisoners of war. Matthew entered the actor's resting place and sat down. He immediately sent a thick blanket and brought a cup of hot coffee. Although what he wanted most was a cup of hot tea, even the secondiest among flower tea, as a character actor, there should not be too much attention to this.
Matthew put on the blanket and took a sip of hot coffee, which made him feel a little warmer.
Time has entered 2000. Although it is not as cold as December, it is also cold and windy.
These actors play soldiers who landed in France in June. Of course, they can't wear too thick clothes. They are basically single clothes when filming.
Half a cup of coffee was put down. As soon as Matthew put down the cup, the makeup artist came to make up. Fortunately, the oil paint on his face didn't need to be adjusted too much, and the weather was cold and the sweat would not be made into a flower, so it was completed soon.
"It's so cold!" Michael Fassbender rubbed his hands into the resting place, pulled a chair and sat next to Matthew. "The ghost weather in Britain is almost life-threatening."
Matthew looked at him and asked, "You're done."
"Not yet, but I can't use it for the time being." Michael Fassbender went to pick up a cup of hot coffee, "I'll come in and warm it up."
He took a sip of coffee and gave Matthew a thumbs up, "You acted so well just now! You didn't look like a newcomer at all."
"Really?" asked Matthew.
Michael Fassbender nodded seriously, "Of course it's true?" He looked like he was nostrils were facing the sky, "Do I need to please you?"
Matthew immediately shook his head, "No."
"I want to ask you..." Michael Fassbender's face was full of curiosity, "How long have you been preparing for this character?"
"I think about it..." Matthew made up, "Four or five months."
Michael Fassbender was a little surprised, "How many months should I take to prepare for such a small role?" He gradually gained an understanding, "No wonder you performed the best during training, and it was not bad when you first filmed."
It is common for actors to prepare for a protagonist for several months, but it is relatively rare for a small character to prepare for four or five months.
"Matthew!"
An assistant director walked in at this time, "Your scene is coming soon, go to the set to prepare."
"I'll go now."
Matthew greeted him, left the actors' resting place, and walked into the path covered with mud and water. On both sides of the path were fake trees erected by the crew, which looked like real, and there were grass under the trees, which were all fake.
For today's Hollywood movies, doing these are just the most basic things.
Not to mention others, Matthew is no longer surprised after seeing too much.
After the crew was adjusted, the filming began again. Matthew put on his helmet and entered the shooting site.
He has enough research on the characters and knows that he doesn't need to show too much when shooting, just maintaining the state of the previous shot.
Hearing the sound of director Richard Ronklein shouting to start, Matthew held a cigarette in his hand, holding a Chicago typewriter in his right hand, stepped on the muddy path, and walked towards the German prisoners.
Scott Gorens, who participated in the training together, passed by him, and Matthew seemed to have not seen it, and his eyes firmly walked forward.
He looked at the German prisoners and took out the box of cigarettes he wanted from his pocket, "Cigarette?"
An extras who plays the German soldier came over and Matthew handed him the whole box of cigarettes, "Give it to you."
The extras smoked all the German soldiers, Matthew swept through the faces of the German soldiers and spit out a smoke ring...
“Good!”
This one passes in one go, and director Richard Ronkline seems very satisfied, "Matthew Horner, well done!"
Hearing the director's words, Matthew took off his helmet and showed a bright smile.
After a brief adjustment, the shooting continued. This time, all the photos were close-up shots of Matthew shooting. After only five shots, the director announced that it was completed.
Matthew took off his helmet, jumped off the mound, and prepared to take off his makeup.
All his shots were taken today.
The crew did not give a clear answer to this scene of Ronald Spears shooting German prisoners of war, and adopted a vague expression method, just like a rumor among veterans.
During the filming of the second episode, there were not many scenes about Ronald Spears. Matthew then filmed a scene where he led troops to support E Company, which completed all his scenes in this episode.
The crew filmed at Hatfield Airport for a month in a row, and even Matthew was exhausted physically and mentally. The crew also gave actors who had no scenes to film for two days.
Matthew originally wanted to use the two days to visit Britney, but after making a phone call, he had to change his plan. Britney's global tour had already begun and he had no time to see him.
Chapter completed!
