Chapter 91 Dedication and Encouragement

(Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for support!)

From the woods to the town of Foy, the ground is full of white fake snow. Matthew crouched in the artificial forest and raised his helmet. The opposite town of Foy was full of war, and the crackling of gunfire never stopped. , and occasionally there will be a rumbling explosion, and the smoke from the explosion will rise into the sky.

There are more than a dozen camera crews using hand-held cameras, carrying cameras everywhere to catch their targets.

On Matthew's side, three two-person photography teams are also on call, and their task is to capture the protagonist of this war scene - Ronald Spears.

On the battlefield, soldiers wearing paratrooper uniforms of the 101st Airborne Division fell to the ground with the sound of gunfire.

In the front, Captain Winster, played by Damian Lewis, was excited to go to the front to command himself, but was stopped by the regiment commander.

Company E lacked effective command, which was extremely lethal on the battlefield and could only be slaughtered by the Germans.

In standard tactical stance, Matthew squatted on the snow until Damian Lewis yelled at him.

"Spears, come here! Come on!"

Hearing the shouting, Matthew ran over immediately with a Chicago typewriter in his hand. Damian Lewis looked at the battlefield in front of him and shouted at him, "You go there to take over the damn Dyke and lead the E Company to complete the attack mission!"

With a grim expression on his face, Matthew didn't say anything. He strode towards the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke. Three photography teams followed him at the same time.

At this moment, Matthew is enjoying the treatment that the protagonist can only enjoy.

The photography team's shooting did not interfere with Matthew's actions in the slightest. He had already captured the essence of Ronald Spears' character. There was no expression on his face, neither panic nor anxiety, but just moved forward calmly. Run, as if a veteran who ignores life and death is really in the battlefield of World War II.

boom -

Under the control of the pyrotechnic team, the soil in front exploded into a cloud of gunpowder smoke. Matthew ignored it, jumped directly through the smoke, and ran under a haystack. Without a word, he grabbed the actor who played Deck. neck, and said loudly, "You have been fired, and E company is now under my command!"

"Sergeant Lipp!" he asked immediately, "how is the situation now?"

An officer immediately climbed over and said, "The connection was washed away, a row..."

He said a lot at the fastest speed, and after Matthew listened, he immediately pointed to a house and said, "Destroy them with mortars!"

Matthew stood up slowly, "Others attack directly, don't make a detour!"

After speaking, he rushed out directly from behind the haystack and shouted, "Follow .me!"

Matthew didn't even look behind, he strode forward, and seemed to trust the brotherhood of Company E to follow along with him.

"Stop!" Director David Frankel stopped shooting with a loudspeaker, appeared on the hidden observation platform of the tallest building, and gave Matthew a thumbs up, "Good job!"

The shooting of the large-scale battle scene ended here. David Frankel got off the platform, told his assistant to let the crew adjust the venue, and then came to Matthew's side.

"Director." Matthew took off his helmet and greeted him with a smile. David Frankel came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Good job!"

Matthew smiled honestly.

David Frankel nodded. This young man gave him a very good impression. He was smart, humble, hardworking, dedicated and respectful of people. Although his acting skills were average, such an actor would not be annoying.

He walked out from the back of the house, beckoned Matthew to come over, pointed to a low wall at the end of the street, and said, "Don't think about other things when shooting the next shot, run to the low wall at the fastest speed, and turn over,

I will wait for you behind the wall. "

German tanks and soldiers were being arranged on the street. Matthew glanced and saw the low wall, no more than 100 meters at most.

He said heavily, "Okay!"

This scene is about Ronald Spears single-handedly rushing through the streets of the German army, contacting the I company on the other side, and causing the two companies to attack the Germans in front and back. What is even more exaggerated is that Ronald Spears not only He rushed over, contacted Company I, and rushed back unscathed.

There are relevant descriptions in the original work and the memoirs. This is not a divine plot that the crew added casually.

In the words of Sergeant Li Pu's recollection, the Germans never thought that a soldier would dare to rush out alone, let alone that he would rush back, and the E company was attacking frantically at the time, which also distracted the German soldiers.

It was this charge that made the soldiers of E Company accept Ronald Spears, and the unintelligible Lieutenant Deckard was shot to death, Ronald Spears took over the E Company logically. Fourth company commander.

Once the scene is set up, shooting begins again.

After speaking a few lines of dialogue with the actor who played Sergeant Li Pu, Matthew dodged and ran out from the back of the house. With his long legs, like a sturdy leopard, he rushed past the German fortifications on the street, and then ran out of the door. Pass between a tank and a self-propelled gun.

Three cameras, filming him from different angles.

Matthew couldn't hear anything except the whistling wind in his ears. He ran in front of a Tiger tank and came to the front of the low wall. His speed did not decrease at all. His legs suddenly exerted force and turned over a meter. High low wall.

Unexpectedly, because the rush was too strong, the low wall was a temporary structure and could not bear such a great momentum. As soon as Matthew climbed over the low wall, he felt that the wall under his body seemed to be moving.

The next moment, the low wall collapsed from the upper third, bringing Matthew to the ground on the other side.

Matthew felt that the situation was not good before he landed. As soon as his body touched the ground, he immediately rolled over, just avoiding the broken bricks that fell from above, but the arm that landed first felt a burning pain.

"stop!"

Director David Frankel was just behind the wall, shouting, "Doctor! Hurry up and call the doctor!"

When shooting this kind of war scene, the medical team is an essential department for the crew, and a doctor immediately ran towards this side with a medicine box.

Matthew was in severe pain in his left hand and struggled to get up from the ground, but an experienced assistant director immediately stopped him.

"Don't move!" the man reminded loudly, "Let the doctor see it first."

"It's fine!" Matthew shook his head, "I'm fine."

Before working on the construction site, bumping and bumping was a common occurrence. He generally felt that it was just a little skin injury on his arm, and the rest should be fine.

No crew wants actors to get hurt. Once an actor gets hurt, it often means a lot of trouble.

Not only did the doctor run over at the fastest speed, but also two producers, Gary Goldzman and Eric Polk.

"Where does it hurt?" The doctor squatted beside Matthew, and Matthew pointed to his left arm, "Here."

The doctor unbuttoned his sleeve and asked, "Where else?"

Matthew shook his head, "It seems to be fine, I don't feel any pain."

The sleeve was rolled up by the doctor, exposing his upper arm. Matthew glanced at it and saw a bruise on it. The doctor immediately touched it, and then heaved a sigh of relief, "The bones should be fine, it's just a skin injury."

Matthew was also relieved, no one wanted to be injured.

Then, according to the doctor's instructions, he moved his hands and feet and determined that it was only a small injury to his arm.

"Go to the hospital to deal with it first." David Frankel walked over and said.

Having said that, his brows were furrowed tightly. This scene was not easy to set up, and more than half of the filming took place. In other respects, it's okay to say, if it rains at night or tomorrow, it will be bad.

In this ghostly weather in London, the rain will fall as soon as it rains, and many scenes will have to be re-arranged by then, and the entire shooting progress will be delayed.

Not to mention director David Frankel, even the two producers, Gary Goldzman and Eric Polk, are also worried. Once the filming is postponed, it often means an increase in expenses, which is the last thing producers want. Seeing things, but the actors were injured, they couldn't help but go to the doctor.

If there is still a strong agent behind the actor, it will be even more troublesome.

"Let's go." The doctor urged Matthew, "I'll go to the hospital with you."

David Frankel had gone to the other side and was throwing a tantrum at the set, yelling at the low wall, clearly annoyed.

Matthew saw all this, but he wasn't stupid enough to think that David Frankel was caring about himself, guessing that he should be worried about the progress of the shooting.

"This little injury..." Matthew moved his left arm. Except for some pain, he felt no problem. He raised his voice and said, "There is no need to go to the hospital."

David Frankel immediately turned his head and looked over, and Matthew continued, "A little skin injury, it's fine, work is important!"

Since Matthew insisted, other people would naturally not object. The doctor briefly treated his left arm, and after making up, he went back to shooting.

The low wall was not repaired, but the remaining half was reinforced. David Frankel decided to use the shot just shot. After restarting the shooting, Matthew turned over the low wall, and in a series of extras equipped with the German army and tank armored vehicles , and then spread his legs and ran back to the back of the house.

A little further from the parapet, Gary Goldzman and Eric Polk were watching.

"Very dedicated young man." Gary Goldzman seems to recognize Matthew's work attitude very much, "reduced a lot of unnecessary trouble for the crew."

He asked Eric Polk, "What's this young man's name?"

Eric Polk naturally recognized Matthew and said, "Matthew Horner, the actor Hanks personally picked from auditions."

Gary Goldzman nodded lightly, "Hanks has always had a good eye. You go see him tonight and give him some encouragement."

"Well, I know." Eric Polk thought about what he had communicated with Helen Herman, but it was more trouble than expected, and the final review was not with him, but with Gary Gotz Man has the final say. He paused for a moment, then tentatively said, "How about we have a press conference? Have Matthew Horner also?"

Gary Goldzman thought about it, "Yes."
