In the dressing room, Steve Brand, who has never spoken much, quickly spoke about his decision, Duff Villa listened to his every word with pricked ears, and Clark Bernard expressed his full support. manner.

"Okay!" Clark-Bernard said angrily, "Just do it! Clean him up! If I hadn't finished filming the action scenes with him, I would have beaten him into a pig's head!"

"Let's be cautious." Duff-Villa reminded, "Haven't you seen the propaganda of the crew, he seems to have received professional training."

"Careful?" Steve Brand snorted, "Do you believe what the crew is promoting?"

Duff-Villa opened his mouth, but did not speak.

The dressing room was quiet until a staff member knocked on the door, and the three picked up their equipment, left the dressing room, and prepared to go to the studio.

After leaving the dressing room, Dave Villa said, "You guys go first, I'll go to the toilet."

Steve Brand and Clark Bernard didn't say much and went straight to the studio.

From the moment they entered the crew to participate in the audition for their respective roles, the three of them have been mixed together, drinking together, chatting together, complaining about the injustice of the agency, and complaining about Matthew Horner's lack of acting skills.

Steve Brand and Clark Bernard didn't think much of it.

Duff-Villa returned to the dressing room, waited for a while, and came out to take a look. There was no one in the corridor, and he hurriedly walked in the opposite direction of the two. The independent dressing room was in a more inner position. , the male protagonists have to enter the studio later than their supporting roles.

"Matthew Horner should still be in the dressing room, right?" With this thought in mind, he turned into the horizontal corridor.

Duff Villa thought very clearly. Follow those two people to deal with Matthew Horner. Even if it succeeds, it will not be him who will benefit, but Steve Brand. Even Big man Clark Bernard is also ahead of him. What's in it for him? But it's still the way it is now.

On the other side? As long as this film doesn't fail, Matthew Horner will definitely have some fame. Anyway, the resources he enjoys basically do not conflict with his own, but he can follow him to get some benefits.

He knocked on the door of Matthew's special dressing room, and a familiar voice came from inside, "Please come in."

Dave Villa pushed the door and walked in.

In the studio that was filmed in the past, Chuck Russell and the set designer are doing the final inspection. The crew borrowed the built real scene and made appropriate set adjustments to become the final battle between the male protagonist Momoyos and the villain Mannon. site.

Action director Tim Madsen came over and, with his two assistants, inspected the venue where the action scenes were being filmed.

"Tim!" Chuck Russell greeted. "How's the preparation going?"

"No problem!" Tim Madsen walked over. "The venue is undergoing a final inspection. In the training before shooting, Matthew and Steven Brand also practiced this scene."

Chuck Russell nodded, "Matthew should be fine, how is that Steven Brand prepared?"

Tim Madsen replied, "Steven Brand has been training these days, and the training is not bad."

The filming has reached the end, and the crew has cooperated tacitly, and preparations are almost ready soon.

On the other hand, Matthew also entered the studio, waited for a few minutes in the actor's rest area, and entered the shooting venue together with Kelly Hu and Steven Brand to listen to the director and action director.

Here is a table with many tables made of hard foam. It is obviously a place for banquets. There are thick cushions under the table.

Just in case the actor stumbles and falls from above.

Although the platform is only more than one meter high, the crew still did everything possible to prevent accidents from happening.

Matthew stood on the platform and glanced at Steven Brand across from Kelly Hu. This guy is the kind of person who doesn't talk much, and often this kind of person really hurts when he takes a bite.

However, Dave Villa has already said what this guy is going to do, and he certainly won't let him get away with it.

Even without Duff Villa, Steven Brand is unlikely to succeed, and Matthew is actually very defensive about him and Clark Bernard.

"Kelly!"

Approaching the shooting, Tim Madsen finally warned, "You stand in my position, there will be soldiers coming in from the exit, and your task is to eliminate this soldier!"

At the end of the action scene, the crew planned to use long shots, so Tim Madsen came over to say a few more words, and he said to Matthew and Steven Brand, "The duel between the two of you, try your best to Do it according to the training, but don't be rigid, this is a long shot of a few minutes, and your movements may be affected by various factors, so be flexible."

Matthew nodded, "Understood."

Like ten or twenty seconds of shots, you can follow the pre-designed routine, but if the length of the shot is too long, the actors also need to play on the spot.

For example, the first scene shot in the studio was a long shot. Generally speaking, Matthew was following the routine designed by rehearsal, but there were changes on the spot.

Steven Brand also said, "I see."

He hasn't shot action long shots in this drama, but after watching Matthew do it, he knows that it's impossible to follow the set routine 100%, so he chose this time to do it, and it's not normal to get injured accidentally while filming. ?

During the previous filming of Mannon practicing swordsmanship, he was slashed in the arm by another actor with a wooden sword, and it hurt for a long time.

He lowered his head and glanced at the prop sword in his hand. Although it was made of resin, it would definitely not feel good to knock on him. If Matthew Horner can't take on the show for a long time in the future, the Angel Agency will have similar, and series in the hands. And with the opportunity like the protagonist of this film, can Helen Herman find a more suitable candidate than herself among the actors in the company?

This is Hollywood that creates miracles, as long as he can seize a chance, he can soar to the sky!

Matthew twisted the thread on the leather armor with one hand, and held the hilt of the prop sword with the other hand, and stopped looking at Steven Brand.

On the way here, he thought of a coping strategy.

Kaili Hu stood between Matthew and Steven Brand. Perhaps it was the woman's intuition. She always felt that the actors on the left and right were not quite right, so she took two steps back. Anyway, her role was finished.

Matthew gave her a good impression. Subconsciously, she wanted to stand by Matthew's side, but she also knew that this kind of open and secret struggle that existed in almost every crew, since it was not involved, it was better not to participate.

"This scene must follow a principle!" Tim Madsen finally said, "Matthew, you have to lose at the beginning! Steven, you swear to kill him, to chase after him!"

He looked at the two actors, "Then, Matthew, you were knocked down, Steven didn't let you go, and you turned defeat into victory at a critical moment."

Matthew didn't speak, just nodded, and Steven Brand on the other side was also nodding.

"Okay!" Tim Madsen was about to leave the set, "Now let's take a shot to see the effect."

He withdrew from the set, Matthew drew his sword and came to his place, and Steven Brand stood opposite him according to his position.

Matthew, Kelly Hu, and Steven Brand were ready, and the voice of the assistant director came over, "The one hundred and thirteenth scene, the twenty-first scene, start now!"

From standing here, Matthew became tense, and just after the sound of shouting, the prop sword of Steven Brand on the opposite side chopped over.

This sword was extremely fast, with a whirring sound of wind.

Matthew dodged and dodged, then went to the edge of the stage and fought and retreated. Steven Brand chased him all the way, every sword was windy, his face was full of viciousness, as if he was completely immersed in the role of Mannon. Among them, he will not give up until he kills Ma Momoyos played by Ma Jiao.

The long swords of the two collided several times, and Matthew could feel that the strength used by Steven Brand was very strong, which was completely different from the rehearsal, and gradually determined that Duff Villa was telling the truth.

Steven Brand would not be stupid enough to attack Matthew directly. His intentions were all concealed in the designed action routines. He only used eight points of effort where he used five points of force. Even so, Matthew's quickness Dodging and moving like a deer, his sword could not hit at all, and then he used a lot of force.

bang——

Steven Brand kicked a stool made of hard foam, and the stool flew over.

It was too late for Matthew to hide, so he stretched out his hand and used it. Just as the stool flew to the side, Steven Brand's prop sword slashed again.

He stepped back again, and Steven Brand stepped forward to chase.

Behind a camera, Tim Madsen looked at the two people in the field and kept nodding. This action scene was without any bells and whistles, full of realistic fighting power and straightness, which seemed extremely real and believable.

This is also the action effect that the crew has been pursuing.

Matthew was as good as always in the action scenes. To his surprise, Steven Brand's performance was quite good, especially the expressions and actions when chasing Matthew, which seemed very real and fully demonstrated. Mannon's determination to kill Moryos, and his own strength.

That's when he saw Matthew dodging Steven Brand's sword when he tripped over the table and fell near the edge of the table, his weapon dropped.

Moryos is going to be knocked down by Mannon, and then the Jedi will fight back...

Tim Madsen didn't move, let alone speak. This long-shot action scene was excellent, and the actors were in particularly good shape.

Matthew was lying on the ground, but his body was stretched like a bowstring. When he was practicing free combat, the coach had taught him how to fight back when he fell to the ground. The trip just now was intentional, so that he could pull away from Steven- Brand's distance, as written in the script, can counterattack.

According to the filming process that must be followed, Momoyos will eventually be knocked down by Mannon once.

Steven Brand then rushed over, as described in the script, the long sword stabbed directly at Matthew...

Although the prop swords were far apart, Matthew could see clearly that the target of this sword was clearly his own face.
