Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, Ryan's shoulder-length hair that had been left for a long time disappeared. After re-dyeing his short hair, he became closer to black. After the stylist finished all this, he left the dressing room and found Ridley Scott on the set.

The old man was checking the progress of the construction of the arena. Due to the rejection of the Roman city government, the crew had to come to London and rented a piece of territory of the Spencer family in Northampton. They used steel pipe sets and corresponding building materials to temporarily build a huge arena.

Although this arena is huge, it is definitely a typical example of being awesome and not being useful. Except for the front rows that can be seated, the back is basically full of sets. If the support of the steel frame is lacking, it will definitely become a real shoddy project.

Even so, the crew has invested more than $14 million in it, starting two months ago and has not yet been completed.

"Ryan, I have to say, this damn weather is simply terrible."

Everything went wrong recently, Ridley Scott couldn't help but complain, "And you, I hope you can receive Mr. Nicholas Powell's gladiator training before filming your own scene!"

Before Ryan could react, the old man continued, "I know that because of shooting the Lord of the Rings, you have received strict sword training, but in your script and my idea, the movie scene should be a more realistic close-up fight. We will use metal weapons throughout the process. You must not only be responsible for yourself, but also for other actors."

"God, Ridley, you reminded me of Jin Carrey." Ryan changed his serious expression, "Nothing is a problem. I will do it strictly according to the plan you have made!"

Although he has been writing memorizing in recent years, Ryan knows the level of Ridley Scott, the director of "Alien" and "Blade Runner", is undoubtedly an excellent film master. Even after this movie, he is still writing memorizing in the movie.

As for Nicholas Powell, he is a real fighting master. He has participated in the filming of "Brave Heart" and has great experience in traditional Western fighting.

In fact, after the final round of auditions, all the actors began rigorous training, including a large number of stunt actors who needed excellent physical fitness and explosive muscles, at least if they looked like this from the camera.

Although the movie is on, the main actors are still in training. Most of the shots are shots of extras, as well as scenery, etc.

After talking to Ridley Scott for a while, the crew assistant took Ryan to the actor training place. He was also an experienced person in this regard. He quickly changed into the training uniform, took a prop sword, and walked towards the temporary training hall.

The prop sword is indeed a metal sword, but it is an aluminum alloy sword, which is much lighter than the Nasir Holy Sword.

This movie has changed dramatically compared to its previous life, at least in terms of actors. All three main actors have changed, so Ryan won’t say it. Leonardo DiCaprio won the role of Emperor Commodes, and Jennifer Lopez is the one who plays his sister!

Ryan is not very clear about how Latin diva got this role, nor does he interfere with Ridley Scott's decision. Besides, it is not difficult to disguise her as a Roman.

Looking at the actors who were training, what impressed Ryan the most was that Leonardo was too much. Xiao Li's figure was almost a full circle, and even her face had some flesh.

Nicole received news from his supermodel girlfriend that in order to get this role, Leonardo specially hired a professional team to develop a detailed fitness plan for himself. After a long period of training, his thin body, which used to be bulging muscles.

Although the other party was just much stronger, in Ryan's eyes, Xiao Li seemed to be moving closer to the uncle in his previous life, if he didn't pay attention in the future.

However, if Xiao Li really wanted to make a difference in Oscars, he might have gone on the old path of his previous life.

After waiting until the rest of the field, Ryan walked over, greeted people including Jennifer Lopez, and came straight to Leonardo, "Hi, Leon, do you look strong?"

"Are you interested, Ryan?" Leonardo first saw the sword in Ryan's hand and showed a malicious smile. "How about we have a duel before the filming of the movie begins?"

"Are you sure?" Ryan said in his heart that he could not deal with professionals like George. If you could not even deal with you, the sword skills this year would be in vain.

Although these sword techniques do not work much, long-term practice can at least strengthen the body.

"this……"

Seeing Ryan's equally malicious expression, Leonardo suddenly felt that this was not a good idea and quickly said, "Just just kidding, don't be too serious."

He stayed here until the afternoon, and Ryan followed Nicholas Powell's request and spent most of his time watching, observing the difference between the sword skills used by the Gladiator and the ones he learned.

According to the conception of Ryan and Ridley Scott, although "Gladiator" is a Western-style fight like "The Lord of the Rings", it is more realistic and there are more scenes of close-fitting fights.

Before starting their own role, all actors must meet the assessment standards of Nicholas Powell. This is not only for the crew but also for the safety of the actors. Even if the prop swords are light swords made of aluminum alloy, it is not impossible to cut the bones on the body.

Leaving Northampton, Ryan took a bus to another production area not too far, the Ninth Studio where the Harry Potter crew is located. It has been more than a year since the crew was officially established and the movie has not started yet.

There is no way to go. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is the beginning of the entire series. A lot of preparation work, costumes, props, sets, models, and even the actor's styling must be designed from scratch and then customized.

Then there are those young actors. They are not able to play corresponding roles immediately after the audition. Many of them do not have real acting experience and need to undergo some basic training, including from acting skills to psychological endurance, and how to use their age advantages to deal with annoying paparazzi.

After every week's routine music study time, Taylor will come here to participate in training. Singers also need acting skills, and this can be regarded as a playful relaxation. After all, most of them are peers here.

"I promise, Ryan."

Chris Columbus said while accompanying Ryan to a huge conference room, "The movie can catch up with next year's Christmas at the latest."

Ryan nodded, thinking of other aspects in his mind. There is "The Lord of the Rings 1" that will definitely be completed next year. In order to maximize profits, we must stagger the schedules of these two movies, otherwise it would be tragic to fight with myself.

"They're about to get out of class?" Ryan asked when he walked to the conference room.

"Hmm~" Chris Columbus nodded, "We have been supervised by relevant British institutions. These little guys conduct their own studies in the morning and have afternoon training."

When the two knocked on the door and entered, the order disappeared instantly. Many people rushed over like a tide, surrounding Ryan, some asking for signatures for friends and some asking for photos for relatives...

"Quiet! Quiet!"

The director Chris Columbus is still very authoritative. The room suddenly became quiet, and then a little girl's disdainful voice came, "You are almost becoming big stars, and you are still like little brats. You really haven't grown up. Emma, ​​don't become like them."

The girl sitting next to her nodded and said in cooperation, "Confidence and pride are essential conditions for success, I still remember it."

Ryan couldn't help scratching his head, as if Taylor was making up some misunderstandings and fooling people.

"Where are you, listen." Taylor's voice sounded again, "I have many Ryan's signature photos. If you want them, you can exchange various limited edition toy dolls..."

After saying that, he deliberately stuck out his tongue at Ryan.

Ryan just smiled and made a shut-up gesture to her, and another active little girl jumped out again, "Everyone knows that Ryan is a very, very popular actor and an actor with excellent acting skills. Please tell us how to do it to become a good actor, okay?"

"Okay!" The applause was heard.

Faced with these enthusiastic minors, Ryan thought for a while, walked to their front, and the room suddenly became quiet.

"In addition to talent, a good actor needs to rely more on his own exploration and training during filming." Ryan has never been a theoretical school, and can only rely on his past experience to summarize. "To become an excellent actor, the first thing is to be curious, because actors should first be interested in the role and have strong curiosity to explore the story and environment behind the role, the inner world, and secondly, to have empathy and put themselves in their shoes to understand the role."

Finally, regardless of whether these little guys could understand or not, he solemnly warned, "Be careful, performing does not require self-self. If you are too strong, you will bring your own mentality in it, so that you will play all the roles into yourself."

After saying that, Ryan winked at Taylor and walked out of the room.

As for how much those little guys can listen to and understand, it is not something he should worry about.

"Ryan, the teachers you are looking for are so old-fashioned." After Taylor came out with him, the first sentence was to complain, "I'm not used to it."

However, as Ryan's eyes swept across her face, the little girl shrank her neck and said, "Well, I admit, they have a great knowledge of music."

“Dear, if you want to build your own achievements in music in the future, hard work and learning are essential.”

Hearing Ryan’s warning, the little girl Zheng nodded heavily. (To be continued...)
