As night fell, the dining area was brightly lit and the white light fell on the dining table. Matthew could see that Michael Sheehn was very unhappy. He sighed in his heart, but stopped saying anything. He knew that once the balance in a person's heart was broken, it was very difficult to recover, and it would never be possible.

The ringtone of the cell phone suddenly rang, and Matthew took it out and answered it. It was Helen Hermann who called. He quickly went to a trailer in the crew to participate in the temporary audition of the character.

This is a small role, and he is not a member of the Actors Union, and the audition is very simple. The casting director and the assistant sent by Ridley Scott looked at Matthew's appearance, made him roar a few times, and then nodded with satisfaction.

After passing the audition, the rest was handled by Helen Hermann. Matthew walked towards the town alone, returned to the hotel he checked in, took a simple shower, and went to sleep early. He was busy today and had to get up early tomorrow, so he had no time to waste.

When Michael Sheehn came back, Matthew didn't know. He woke up and was almost three in the morning. After washing it, he went straight to the restaurant. He happened to meet Helen Herman and her assistant Amanda at the entrance of the restaurant. The three of them had breakfast together. Helen Herman handed over the other performances to Amanda and personally accompanied Matthew to the crew.

Ridley Scott gave Angel Agent a role, and she must show corresponding attention to this opportunity.

Not to mention other aspects, this is at least a respect for Ridley Scott.

The crew was about to start construction early in the morning, and there were already many people walking outside the town on the way. Matthew was always a little curious about this character. Now there were only two people. He couldn't help but ask while walking, "This character is not what you originally planned?"

"I got it temporarily." Helen Hermann changed into a blue and black professional suit today. He was in a good mood and said a few briefly, "The agreement signed between the actors who originally played this role and the crew has clear terms and regulations that no less than five lines should be given."

Her flat leather shoes stepped on the hard road and made a crisp sound, "The day before yesterday the actor joined the group and found that the five lines were all howling like you did yesterday. He was very dissatisfied and had a little friction with the crew. Director Ridley Scott decided to replace him."

"Was that actor fired?" Matthew asked with concern.

After leaving the town, the two walked towards the woods set. Helen Herman continued, "No, he is an actor from the union. It is very troublesome to fire him. It also means that the crew will have to breach the contract. He will have to compensate him for one month's salary. His daily salary is 8,000 US dollars, which is very unfavorable."

Matthew thought of some bad things and asked again, "Is the crew a way to deal with him coldly without breaching the contract?"

"The crew will let him act as a savage soldier for the time being, and then a deputy director will take a shot of him with five lines." Helen Hermann said it very easily, "It is time to abandon all his scenes during the post-production editing, and he can be dismissed at a price of hundreds of dollars."

"That's it..." Matthew grinned, "It's OK?"

Helen Hermann said lightly, "Just an ordinary British actor."

Matthew nodded. An ordinary young actor, even a member of the union, could not compete with a crew of the size of "Gladiator".

Having said that, the British actor Helen Hermann mentioned is probably also an impulsive person, right?

When he arrived at the woods set, Matthew followed Helen Herman to the crew's daily office trailer first and signed a contract with the legal department. The most basic wage guarantee, insurance and work-related injury compensation in the contract have clear legal provisions. Once a dispute arises, the Angel Brokerage Company and Helen Herman will come forward to deal with it.

After signing the contract, an assistant director gave Matthew a character script. The script has two pages, which provides detailed explanations on the scenes of the barbarian leader. To summarize, the role's scenes are divided into two parts. One is to stand alone in front of many barbarians, yelling loudly at the Roman legion, and the other is to be surrounded by Roman soldiers and be killed!

It is basically close-up and close-up shots.

So, when Matthew came to a large makeup trailer, he received special service.

A charming male makeup artist and his female assistant put on makeup for Matthew together. This time the makeup was quite fine, especially the beard on Matthew's face was basically sticking up one by one.

It is obvious that the actors who swept through the long-range shots are treated completely differently from those with close-up actors.

It was quite troublesome to put on makeup and lasted for a long time. There was a period of time in between that and Matthew was almost asleep. He was awakened by the angry roar outside the makeup trailer.

"Who is that guy? Who's the relationship?" That was the voice of a man with a London accent, "I dare to steal my role! I want to show him..."

"Macon..." Someone seemed to be persuading.

The outside of the makeup 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 whispered, "That British man, who has been at the Royal Academy of Art, always looked down on others. He thought Ridley Scott would help him for the sake of being both British, but forgot that this is America!"

"Haha..." Matthew didn't know how to answer, so he simply laughed twice.

The makeup continued until dawn, and it was not until Matthew's look was completed.

"Thanks!"

We were preparing to go to the costume group and prop group. Matthew was very polite when he left, "Thank you two!"

After staying in the bottom of society for many years, he is still very good at being a human being.

"You're welcome." The female assistant smiled.

The charming male makeup artist suddenly stepped forward, stuffed a note into Matthew's hand, and whispered, "Handsome guy, it's my phone number above. If you have time, call and make an appointment to play together."

Matthew was stunned for a moment, then understood and left the makeup trailer without saying a word. After walking a distance, he quickly threw the note into the trash can.

Next, he went to the costume group to change into a thick fur costume, and received a long-handled warhammer inlaid with totems from the prop group.

When leaving the prop group, Matthew found Helen Hermann standing outside the trailer of the prop group, obviously waiting for him.

Seeing Matthew coming, Helen Herman asked, “Is it going well?”

Matthew nodded, "Fortunately, it's just a bit long."

The sun is rising now, probably more than 8:30, and it took more than four hours to make the styling. Fortunately, all the scenes of this character can be filmed today.

Helen Hermann led the way, and Matthew followed him and walked towards the venue where he filmed yesterday.

Through the path among the woods, the two came to the edge of the open ground, where hundreds of extras had gathered here, waiting for today's scene to start filming.

Michael Sheeen leaned on a tree and saw Matthew at a glance. Even though he was a distance away, he could see clearly that the fur on the other party was well-made and the makeup on his face was more realistic, especially the beard, which was no different from the real one. It was a world of difference from the fake ones on his face.

"How many months have he been in Los Angeles?" Michael Sheeon was very unhappy. "I've been in Los Angeles for more than three years!"

Shouldn't a friend pull a hand at critical moments? But he refused to pull this hand...

Thinking of this, Michael Sheeon strode over, "Hi, Matthew."

Matthew was chatting with Helen Hermann. When he heard a familiar voice, he immediately turned his head and greeted, "Come here, Mike."

He showed no difference from before, as if nothing happened yesterday had happened.

"Yesterday..." Michael Sheehn deliberately tried to speak but stopped. "I was a little hot-headed and said too much."

Matthew shook his head, "What happened yesterday? I forgot it."

Michael Sheeon laughed, and it seemed that Matthew still regarded him as a friend.

Helen Hermann didn't understand what the two were talking about, so he looked at Matthew first, and then at Michael Sheehan.

Notice that Helen Herman's eyes turned to him, Michael Sheeon immediately smiled and said, "Hello, Helen. I am Michael Sheeon, Matthew's good friend, and your actor."

"Hmm." Helen Herman remembered meeting him yesterday, "Hello, I remember you, you worked as a porter."

"yes!"

Hearing her say this, Michael Sheeon smiled brighter, "I also met Matthew that time. My common hobby made us friends. Matthew played..."

His insignificant tone was like reminding Helen Hermann, "I have played a role, and I have played more than twenty roles. When we chatted together, Matthew often asked me for advice."

Helen Hermann's eyes were hidden behind his glasses, making people unable to see clearly, and his face always had a faint professional smile, "Is that right?"

Matthew also smiled, but unfortunately he was covered by the thick beard on his mouth.

It's okay to be familiar with it. Michael Sheen is really learning and selling it right away.

At this time, Ridley Scott walked into the set accompanied by the bearded man. Helen Herman said to Matthew, "Director Scott may have to direct it himself, I'll take you over and meet you."

Matthew couldn't ask for it, so he followed Helen Hermann and left.

Michael Sheeon followed, but after walking a few steps, Helen Hermann noticed him and said, "Your drama is about to start filming, go back and prepare."

Hearing this, Michael Sheeon had to stop and watch Matthew and Helen Herman come to Ridley Scott.

"Uncle Scott." Helen Hermann said hello first, "Are you going to shoot this scene yourself?"

"Yeah." Ridley Scot nodded, "Your actor is OK, right?"

Helen Herman came to him and pointed at Matthew and said, "This is Matthew Horner. He played the role of the Soul-Escaped Girl crew last month and played with Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie."
