The huge studio was busy, and everyone was busy with their work in an orderly manner under the coordination of Zack Snyder. Matthew put on a big red cape, stepped on the green ground, and slowly walked to all the spas. in front of the warriors.

Filming has already begun, and according to Zack Snyder's plan, most of the first shoots are Spartans and Persians war scenes.

Just as Matthew stood in front of more than 30 actors who played Spartans, most of the crew turned their attention.

"No, it's too exaggerated, isn't it?"

Outside the set, Eva Green, like most people, moved his eyes down Matthew's eyes unconsciously, and the bulging mass looked a bit amazing.

She didn't have her part to shoot today, but since it was the filming day of the crew and there were media activities afterwards, she came back from France specially yesterday, and the time difference had not been adjusted, so she came to the studio.

Eva Green suddenly remembered that there had been some rumors from several actresses in the circle who had a relationship with Matthew, saying that Matthew Horner's size and ability were quite amazing. Even dying is worth it...

This is an exaggeration, but what I saw today through the dark red tights is equally exaggerated.

Eva Green shook her head gently, Matthew was already red and purple, and his fans were all over the United States. It is estimated that when this film is released, let alone the plot and content, just his current look will attract countless female fans. Crazy about it?

On the set, I came with the makeup artist and handed a resin helmet to Matthew. Matthew glanced at the same dark red helmet and put it on his head.

"Wait, Matthew." The makeup artist immediately stepped forward and carefully trimmed his fake beard for him.

Since the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Gathering of Souls", Matthew has not shaved off his beard. Most of the time, his full beard is standard in European and American costume epic films. Used on pasting fake beards.

I simply sorted it out with the makeup artist and said, "Okay."

Then, he quit the set.

More than 30 actors stand in tight array in front of the camera lens, surrounded by green screen.

Matthew communicated with Zach Snyder before, not only all the shots will be shot on the green screen in this studio, but the background of the wheat field will be removed in the later stage, and all other background images will also be generated by CGI.

It is no exaggeration to say that this film is fake except for the actors.

Zach Snyder walked into the set at this point, went directly to Matthew, and said, "We're working together again."

Matthew smiled, but said nothing.

"This scene, to express the indomitable momentum of the Spartans." Zach - Snyder finally told Matthew, "Shout out all the lines!"

"No problem." Matthew nodded.

Zach Snyder walked off the set and said to his assistant, "Let's start shooting."

The assistant director immediately put the record card in front of the camera and shouted, "The Three Hundred Spartans, the first scene, the first act, start now!"

The crew immediately entered the shooting state,

The camera lens was also aimed at Matthew, who was standing at the forefront of the line.

"We're here to block the damn Persians!"

Matthew held a spear in one hand and a shield in the other. The face exposed on the outside of the helmet was fierce, and his eyes seemed to kill people. "We are here to fight them!"

His voice was loud and confident, "We'll kill them right here!"

Then the actor next to him who played the centurion shouted, "Let the Persians all die under our shields today!"

More than 30 actors raised their spears at the same time and shouted, "Huh!"

Matthew turned his head abruptly, looked back, and a camera turned to capture a close-up of his face.

"Warriors! Remember today!" His voice was low, but his tone was very firm, "because this will be with you all your life!"

"Stop!" Zach Snyder's voice sounded, "The first rule is over!"

He then exclaimed, "The actors don't move, the second shot in five minutes."

After finishing speaking, Zach Snyder pressed the playback button of the director's monitor and re-watched the scene just shot. This is the pre-war mobilization of the Spartan King Leonidas, and it is also standard for all Hollywood epics.

This is also Matthew's one-man show, the focus of the camera has been on him, and the other actors have all done background blur processing.

Matthew's condition is clearly very good, and this shot is one shot.

Zach Snyder watched the replay again, this time more carefully. He worked with Matthew on "Dawn of the Living Dead" and knew him to a certain extent. After watching this replay, he came to a conclusion, Compared with the shooting of "Dawn of the Living Dead", Matthew's acting skills have improved significantly.

Although the helmet covers half of Matthew's face, in the close-up, Matthew's glaring eyes and clear-line face are full of drama, and even the teeth exposed by the open mouth give people a Spartan look. Sharp feeling, appropriate interpretation of the powerful momentum of Leonidas.

He has a good relationship with Matthew, and knows that he is not a very talented actor. Before each filming, he will do a lot of preparations. This time, the filming of "Three Hundred Spartans" is obviously very well prepared.

Among Hollywood actors, Matthew's acting skills are definitely at an average level.

Zach - Snyder is not difficult to make such a judgment.

Five minutes passed quickly, and Zach Snyder put those thoughts aside for a moment, and told him to start shooting again.

In front of the camera, Matthew yelled, "Array!"

All the actors, according to the training situation, raised their shields and spears in a neat and uniform manner, and pointed their spears in front.

In order to achieve such an effect, these actors, including Matthew, have undergone a lot of relevant training in the past two months.

Of course, the protagonist of this scene is still only Matthew.

"Persians!" Matthew's roar was deafening, "If you want Spartan weapons, come and get them yourself!"

A camera mounted on a rail slides past the front of the array and the lens falls on Matthew's face.

Matthew roared again, "Warriors, use your strength and take everything from the Persians!" He looked straight ahead with sharp eyes, "Kill all the enemies! Don't take prisoners! Never be soft!"

The shot ends here, and as soon as Matthew's voice falls, the camera slides to the side.

Zach Snyder stood up from behind the camera and said, "Okay! This one is over too!"

The first two shots were shot so smoothly, which he had not thought of before. Next, the melee shots of the Spartans and the Persian army were shot, and the venue had to be adjusted appropriately.

Zach Snyder added, "The actors rested for half an hour, the set team adjusted the venue, and the camera positions were re-set!"

Hearing this, Matthew first handed the shield and spear to the crew assistant who came over, then took off the resin helmet that looked very similar to metal, and walked towards the resting place.

James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, who were also dressed as him, followed, and the three went to the resting place together.

After Matthew sat down, he first took the water glass that Bella Anderson handed over, bit the straw and took a sip. The few voices just now were not pretentious, but he shouted hoarsely.

James McAvoy leaned over and whispered, "No wonder those women who are with you are always full of praise for you, there is really a reason."

Matthew raised his thumb and pointed to Michael Fassbender, "You mean Michael."

Bella Anderson coughed suddenly in a low voice, James McAvoy turned his head to look at her, changed the subject and asked, "Why do historians and academics respect the Battle of Hot Springs so much?"

"Three hundred heavily armored Spartans, including King Leonidas of Sparta, died heroically in order to cut off the entire army, and none of them surrendered." Matthew said the widely circulated answer, " So, they became recognized heroes, and by the standards of modern society, they are true heroes."

He doesn't know what the actual situation is. According to some people, history has lost the truth from the moment it happened.

"It's more than that." Michael Fassbender seemed to have a different opinion, saying, "The hard work of the three hundred warriors at Thermopylae gave Greece time to gather strength, and consumed the energy of the Persians, so that in the end Greece defeated Invasion of Persia."

Both Matthew and James McAvoy looked at Michael Fassbender, and even Bella Anderson looked over curiously, but none of the three understood what Michael Fassbender meant.

Michael Fassbender continued, "You should know, right? Ancient Greece was a city-state system, which was a form of democracy. Of course, this kind of democracy has many flaws in today's view. For example, Socrates's Death. But there is no doubt that this city-state system is the embryonic form and origin of Western democracy. Greece has been spared from extinction, and has always allowed the rise of Western democracy. At that time, Persia was extremely authoritarian and not democratic.”

"Is there such a claim?" Matthew shook his head, "Is this the reason you made up your own nonsense?"

Michael Fassbender spread his hands, "This is an academic term." He added, "The Greek-Persian War, including the Battle of Thermopylae, East and West, despotism and freedom, Zoroastrianism in Iran and freedom in Greece And the competition of diverse polytheistic beliefs.”

Matthew sighed, "So, the Western ones are all excellent?"

Michael Fassbender shrugged.

Matthew didn't say anything. After staying here for a few years, how could he not know that from the film industry to the academic world, the West always has some inexplicable sense of superiority over the East. )!!
