As night fell, the dining area was brightly lit, and the white light fell on the dining table. Matthew could see that Michael Sheehan was very unhappy. He sighed inwardly, but didn't say anything. He knew that once the balance in people's hearts was broken, It is very difficult to recover, if not impossible.
The phone rang suddenly, and Matthew took out to answer it. It was Helen Herman who called. He hurried to a trailer of the crew to participate in a temporary audition for the role.
It's a small role, and since he's not a member of the Screen Actors Guild, the audition was easy. The casting director and Ridley Scott's assistant looked at Matthew's appearance and made him roar a few times, and he was satisfied. nodded.
After passing the audition, Helen Herman took care of the rest. Matthew walked towards the town alone, returned to the hotel where he stayed, took a simple shower, and fell asleep early. Today was a busy day, and tomorrow To get up early, he has no time to waste.
When did Michael Sheehan come back, Matthew didn't know, he woke up close to three in the morning, went straight to the restaurant after washing, and happened to meet Helen Herman and her assistant Amanda at the door of the restaurant, The three had breakfast together, and Helen Herman handed over the rest of the acting to Amanda and personally accompanied Matthew to the crew.
Ridley-Scott gave Angel's agent such a role, and she must show corresponding attention to such an opportunity.
If nothing else, this is at least a respect for Ridley Scott.
The crew was about to start work early in the morning, and there were already many people walking out of the town. Matthew was always curious about this role. Now there are only two people, so he could not help but tentatively ask, "This role is not what you originally planned, right?"
"I got it temporarily." Helen Herman changed into a blue and black professional suit today, probably in a good mood, and said a few words, "In the agreement signed between the actor who originally played this role and the crew, there are clear terms and conditions. No less than five lines."
Her flat leather shoes stepped on the hard road, making a crisp sound, "The actor joined the crew the day before yesterday and found that all five lines were howling like you did yesterday, very dissatisfied, and there was a little friction with the crew, Ridley - Director Scott decided to replace him."
"That actor was fired?" Matthew asked with concern.
After leaving town, the two walked towards the woods studio. Helen Herman continued, "No, he is a union actor. It would be very troublesome to dismiss him, and it would also mean that the crew would breach the contract, and the breach would have to compensate him for one month's salary. He earns $8,000 a day, which is very uneconomical."
Matthew thought of some bad things and asked again, "Is there a way for the crew to treat him coldly without breaking the contract?"
"The crew will let him temporarily act as a barbarian soldier, and then have an assistant director shoot a scene with five lines for him." Helen-Hellman said it easily, "By the time of the post editing, he will have all his scenes. Throw it away and get rid of him for a few hundred dollars."
"Is that so..." Matthew grinned, "Is this okay?"
Helen Herman said lightly, "Just an ordinary British actor."
Matthew nodded. Ordinary young actors, even union members, would not be able to compete with a crew of the size of "Gladiator".
Having said that, the British actor Helen Herman spoke of was probably also an impulsive person, right?
Coming to the woods studio, Matthew followed Helen Herman to the trailer in the daily office of the crew, and signed a new contract with the legal department. The most basic salary guarantee, insurance and work injury compensation in the contract are clearly defined. The law stipulates that in the event of a dispute, Angel Brokerage and Helen-Hellman will come forward to handle it.
After signing the contract, an assistant director handed Matthew a script for the role. The script has two pages and has a detailed description of the role of the barbarian leader. Generally speaking, the role of the role is divided into two parts. One is to stand alone in many In front of the barbarians, they roared loudly at the Roman legion, and the second was surrounded by Roman soldiers and killed!
Mostly close-up and close-up shots.
So, when Matthew came to a large makeup trailer, he was served by a dedicated person.
A seductive-looking male makeup artist and his female assistant did makeup for Matthew together. This time, the makeup was very delicate, especially the beard on Matthew's face, which was basically sticking up one by one.
Obviously, actors who are swept away by long-range shots are treated completely differently from actors who have close-ups.
The make-up was quite troublesome and lasted for a long time. In the middle, Matthew almost fell asleep. He was woken up by the angry roar outside the make-up trailer.
"Who is that guy? Who is it?" It was the voice of a man with a London accent, "How dare you take my role! I want to give him a good look..."
"Macon..." Someone seemed to be persuading.
The outside of the make-up trailer quickly became quiet, and Matthew guessed that it might be the British actor in Helen Herman's mouth.
The young female assistant makeup artist glued a beard to Matthew's face and said softly, "That Englishman, because he's been at the Royal College of Art, always looks down with his nostrils, he thinks Ridley- Scott will help him for the sake of being British and forget that this is America!"
"Haha..." Matthew didn't know how to answer, so he simply laughed twice.
The makeup continued, and it was only when the sky was bright that Matthew's shape was finished.
"thanks!"
Going to the costume and props group, Matthew was very polite when he left, "You two have worked hard!"
After being at the bottom of the society for many years, he is still very good at being a man.
"You're welcome." The female assistant smiled.
The very seductive male makeup artist suddenly took a step forward, put a note into Matthew's hand, and said in a low voice, "Handsome guy, it's my phone number. If you have time, call and make an appointment to play together."
Matthew was stunned for a while, then he came to a realization. He got out of the makeup trailer without saying a word. After walking a distance, he hurriedly threw the note into the trash can.
Next, he went to the costume department to change into a thick fur costume, and received a long-handled war hammer inlaid with totems from the props department.
When leaving the props team, Matthew found Helen Herman standing outside the trailer of the props team, apparently waiting for him.
Seeing Matthew approaching, Helen Herman asked, "Is it going well?"
Matthew nodded, "It's okay, it's just a bit long."
Now that the sun is rising high, it is estimated that it is more than 8:30. It took more than four hours to do the modeling. Fortunately, all the scenes of this character can be finished today.
Helen Herman led the way, and Matthew followed, walking towards the shooting location yesterday.
Crossing the path between the trees, the two came to the edge of the open field. Hundreds of extras had gathered here, waiting for today's scene to start filming.
Michael Sheehan leaned against a tree and saw Matthew at a glance. Even from a distance, he could still see clearly. The fur on the other side was well made, and the makeup on his face was more realistic, especially the one. The beard is no different from the real thing, and it is very different from the fake one on his face.
"It's only been a few months since he came to Los Angeles?" Michael Sheehan was very unhappy, "I've been in Los Angeles for more than three years!"
Shouldn't a friend pull a hand at a critical moment? He refused to pull himself this one...
Thinking of this, Michael Sheehan strode over, "Hi, Matthew."
Ma Jiu was chatting with Helen Herman when he heard a familiar voice, he immediately turned his head and said hello, "Come here, Mike."
He acted the same as before, as if what happened yesterday had never happened at all.
"Yesterday..." Michael Sheehan deliberately hesitated, "I was a little hotheaded, and what I said went too far."
Matthew shook his head, "What happened yesterday? I forgot."
Michael Sheehan laughed, as if Matthew still considered him a friend.
Helen Herman didn't understand what the two were talking about. She looked at Matthew first and then at Michael Sheehan.
Noticing Helen Herman's eyes turned to him, Michael Sheehan immediately smiled and said, "Hello, Helen. I'm Michael Sheehan, Matthew's good friend and your actor."
"Well." Helen Herman remembered seeing him yesterday, "Hello, I remember you, you used to be a porter."
"yes!"
Hearing her say this, Michael Sheehan smiled brighter and brighter, "I also met Matthew at that time, and our common hobbies made us friends~www.readwn.com~Matthew has acted..."
In his indiscreet accent, as if reminding Helen Herman, "I've played one role, I've played more than 20 roles, and Matthew often asks me for advice when we chat together."
Helen Herman's eyes were hidden behind her glasses, making it indistinct, and she always had a faint professional smile on her face, "Really?"
Matthew also showed a smile, but unfortunately it was covered up by the bushy beard on his mouth.
It's nothing to be familiar with, Michael Sheehan is really learning and selling.
At this time, Ridley Scott walked into the set accompanied by the bearded man, and Helen Herman said to Matthew, "Director Scott may be directing himself, I will show you. "
Matthew could not ask for it, so he followed Helen Herman.
Michael Sheehan also followed, but within two steps, Helen Herman spotted him and said, "Your scene is about to start, go back and get ready."
Hearing this, Michael Sheehan had to stop and watch Matthew and Helen Herman come to Ridley Scott.
"Uncle Scott." Helen Herman greeted first, "Are you going to film this scene yourself?"
"Well." Ridley-Scott nodded, "Is your actor okay?"
Helen Herman came up to him, pointed at Matthew and said, "This is Matthew Horner. He played a part on 'Girls' last month, alongside Winona Ryder and Angie. Lina-Jolie played together."
Seeing Matthew's tall and strong figure and rough and savage shape, and hearing Helen Herman say this, Ridley Scott was relieved and told the bearded, "Get ready to start shooting!"
