The day after the signing of the actor contract, Matthew was informed by the crew that on September 15, he would go to the crew to gather, and rush to the Edward Air Force Base near Los Angeles by car to receive basic military training provided by the military, and then take the crew again. A chartered flight to Morocco for four to five months of filming.

The character he played was Sergeant Hut, who was affiliated with the Delta Force. In short, he was a fierce soldier.

In this respect, Ridley Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer are experienced and have a good eye for actors.

Then, Matthew got a call from James McAvoy, who also passed the audition for the role of a soldier named Uric.

This is also good news, at least there are acquaintances in the crew.

There was less than a week before the crew training camp. Matthew did not continue to wait in Los Angeles. He flew to East Asia and went to Japan to meet Britney. Japan can be said to be the dumping ground of American pop culture. Britney's Of course, record companies and brokerage companies will not miss the opportunity to make money and expand their influence in the Japanese market. Britney will hold concerts in five different cities in Japan in total.

Just like the previous few times, Matthew and Britney met in a hurry and didn't have much time to get along at all. Since the "Black Hawk Down" crew was about to gather, Matthew stayed in Tokyo for less than two days before returning. Los Angeles.

After returning, he began to prepare for the next trip to Africa.

In Matthew's perception, Africa is synonymous with chaos and poverty. He checked it on the Internet. Morocco is much better. It is a rare politically stable country in Africa. Directly connected to Lang, the climate is relatively hot.

To this end, Matthew went to Chinatown in Los Angeles, and bought the holy products for dispelling summer heat and anti-heat - Fengyoujing, cooling oil and Huoxiangzhengqi water, just in case.

On the day of the gathering and departure, Matthew called a taxi, brought a large suitcase of luggage, and arrived at the Pasanadi City crew station on time.

He didn't come too early. There were already many actors in front of the small building where the crew was located and in the hall, but Matthew didn't see anyone he was familiar with. He found a place in the hall next to the glass curtain wall and waited patiently.

Not too many meetings, he saw James McAvoy walk in, and quickly waved, "James, this way."

James McAvoy came to Matthew's side with a bag and a suitcase on his back.

"When I came..." James McAvoy pointed to the outside of the glass curtain wall, "I saw Tom Hardy."

Matthew shook his head slightly, "Just pretend he doesn't exist."

James McAvoy put down his suitcase and said, "It's a pity Michael isn't here."

Let alone auditions, Michael Fassbender was never invited to audition.

Matthew tapped him on the shoulder, "It's not up to us to decide."

"Look!" James McAvoy nudged Matthew. "Tom Hardy is in."

Matthew turned his head to look at the door and saw Tom Hardy come in with another person he knew, frowning slightly, "Why is he with Johnny Lee Miller?"

The person who came in with Tom Hardy was Angelina Jolie's ex-husband Johnny Lee Miller.

James McAvoy didn't find it strange, and said casually, "Tom Hardy and Johnny Lee Miller seem to have the same agent."

Matthew nodded and didn't mention this aspect again. He took the initiative to change the subject and chatted with James McAvoy for more than 20 minutes. The two buses rented by the crew drove to the front of the small building, and they dragged their luggage , queuing up on the bus.

Edward Air Force Base is a hundred and fifty kilometers from Los Angeles. After getting in the car, James McAvoy took out his mobile phone and played a game. He quickly fell asleep in his seat and fell asleep. Matthew squinted for a while, But I couldn't sleep, so I just took out the script and read it.

Although it didn't take long for him to get the script, he had already memorized the part of Sergeant Hut, and now what he mainly does is to put the characters in the whole environment.

In a film like this, which is based on real events and involves military and international politics, actors need to understand not only their own roles, but also the background of the entire film, which is limited by their social class and the limitations of their previous vision. He is not at all sensitive to international politics, and can only be understood through the information in his hands.

According to Matthew's understanding after reading the materials, the chaos in Somalia must be the result of the colonization and plundering of Africa by these Western countries. The garrison of the old and the United States in Somalia seems to be a response to the invitation of the United Nations, but it is actually a face project of Zardon.

At that time, the Cold War had ended, and Somalia was neither a strategically important place nor had any valuable strategic resources. Therefore, the old and the United States were not interested in garrisoning troops for peacekeeping. The army delivers relief supplies.

Later, the situation in Somalia continued to deteriorate, forcing the United Nations to pass a new resolution to use force to maintain security and relief operations in Somalia and to enforce peace.

At this time, Zipperton was newly elected as the President of the United States. According to Matthew's imagination, perhaps Zipperton thought so. If the world can see that the US military takes action to bring peace, food and clothing to the Somali people, it will have a great public relations effect. I decided to continue this image project.

As a result, the Black Hawk helicopter was shot down from the sky.

Of course, his knowledge of politics and military affairs is extremely limited, and these are all random thoughts after reading the materials.

The background of this kind of incident is definitely more complicated than what he thought, or even what the script stated.

Looking at the script and thinking about whether there are some or not, Matthew fell asleep at some point, and when he woke up, the bus had already left the Los Angeles area.

"Hi, man!"

A white actor in his twenties who was next to him on the other side of the aisle leaned in and asked, "Have you got any gum?"

Matthew took the bag and looked for it. He took out a whole piece and gave it to him, "Take it."

The man guessed that he had a more cheerful personality and was not polite. After that, he said, "Thanks, man."

He took it apart and put it in his mouth, then said to Matthew, "I'm Ben Foster."

"Matthew Horner." After Matthew introduced himself, he pointed to James McAvoy, who was still sleeping. "He's James McAvoy, my friend."

The two chatted in a low voice for a while, and Ben Foster, who had a bright personality, quickly spit out his old bottom under Matthew's side-talking.

Originally from Massachusetts, he is Jewish and has had roles in "Silver Line," "Free Heights," and "Future Flash," albeit in small roles.

"Which is your role?" Ben Foster asked.

Matthew didn't hide it, and said directly, "Sergeant Hut."

"It's still your role." Ben Foster was envious. "The role is much heavier than my soldiers."

After chatting for a while, Matthew saw that the bus was gradually quiet and more and more people were sleeping, so he took the initiative to interrupt the chat with Ben Foster, and closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Finally, after a two-hour drive, the bus arrived at the entrance of Edward Air Force Base. Since this is one of the most important military bases of the U.S. military, the bus cannot enter. Nearly 100 actors, including Matthew, can only get off. car walk.

After getting off the bus and picking up the luggage, James McAvoy, still sleepy, walked behind Matthew towards the gate of the base.

At the front of the line, Jack the Bearded and the Pentagon's coordinator in the crew are negotiating with the doorman.

The bright sun was shining on his face, and James McAvoy was completely awake. He reached out to look for his phone, but couldn't find it. He quickly said to Matthew, "My phone is in the car."

Matthew took his suitcase and said, "The car hasn't left yet, hurry up and get it, I'll wait for you here."

James McAvoy was also not polite to Matthew. He shoved his backpack into his hand again, and ran to the bus. As soon as he ran away, the guards at the gate of the base began to let go, and the actors lined up in scattered lines. The team, walked towards the base.

Matthew didn't move, standing here waiting for James McAvoy to come back.

Probably seeing the team moving, several big-name actors who have been hiding in the car from the sun also got out of the car and came over. Matthew saw the actor Josh Hartnett, followed by Johnny Lee Miller, John Next to Nicky Lee Miller is Tom Hardy.

In the back, James McAvoy was trotting back with a cell phone.

When James McAvoy ran back to Matthew's side, Josh Hartnett happened to walk over. He looked at Matthew and the two of them. Matthew smiled at him, and the big actor smiled back.

Then, Matthew felt the gaze like a sharp sword, it was Tom Hardy.

Matthew ignored him and pulled up his luggage to leave. James McAvoy glared there and took the backpack and suitcase from Matthew...

Suddenly, Johnny Lee Miller, who was walking with Tom Hardy, slowed down. He turned to look at Matthew, obviously stunned, and an incredible look flashed across his face.

Matthew also noticed Johnny Lee Miller's gaze, and even vaguely saw the strangeness on his face, but calmly pulled the suitcase, slightly behind Tom Hardy and Johnny Lee Miller, walked towards Base gate.

"Did Johnny Lee Miller recognize me?" he thought.

Johnny Lee Miller entered the gate of the base, looked back, saw the two people behind him still going through security, and asked, "Tom, do you know those two people?"

"Yes," Tom Hardy said quickly. "The tall, muscular one is Matthew Horner, and the other is James McAvoy. They're both assholes.") DOWNLOAD FREE READER!!
