Best Movie Star

"Hello, Miller, are you back in Los Angeles?"

​​

Just arrived in Paris on a flight from Los Angeles to France, and before Matthew got out of the airport, he got a call from Johnny Lee Miller, "The tape? What tape? Ah, I remember www..lā sorry, Miller. Too bad I'm not in LA right now, I just got to Paris and the airport hasn't been out yet."

​​

He deliberately raised his mobile phone so that the sound of the radio in the airport could pass, then retracted his mobile phone and continued, "I heard it? That's right, I am a very trustworthy person! No, no... I'm really not hiding from you, You should know that I was on Band of Brothers, right? I met Tom Hardy on the set of Band of Brothers, which is now premiering in Normandy..."

​​

Matthew is still the old way, he continued to drag it back and said nonsense, "B sent me an invitation letter signed by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, I can't help but come? Miller, please understand, I will contact you as soon as I return to Los Angeles."

​​

"What?" He pretended to have a bad signal, "Hey...hey...hey...I can't hear you? Let's do this for now."

​​

Then, Matthew hung up the phone.

​​

After dragging his luggage out of Charles de Gaulle Airport, he found a car to rent a car, and instead of staying in Paris, he directly asked the driver to rush to the Normandy area. Since the filming of "Black Hawk Down" had just ended, he also dealt with financial and tax declarations in Los Angeles. affairs, which can only be rushed over the day before the premiere.

​​

When Matthew arrived in Carentan, where the Jewish beach is located, it was already completely dark, and he fell asleep at the hotel where the crew was received, and there were long activities in the following days.

​​

The next morning, he saw James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender in the restaurant, who also received invitations.

​​

Then, Matthew saw more acquaintances, Michael Kulitz, Ian Bailey, Scott Grimes and so on.

​​

Matthew not only greeted them, but also hugged them one by one. At first, they were all comrades-in-arms who agreed to the outside world. Although it was not that they did not have conflicts with each other, they were all under control.

​​

Although those years were short, these people were similar to Matthew, and they will probably be remembered forever.

​​

Matthew wouldn't have gotten so close to James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender without a joint fight against the Calculus Demon instructor.

​​

After dinner, they went back to their room and changed into black formal clothes. Everyone took the bus provided by the crew and rushed to the Normandy cemetery. There was a commemorative event in the morning and the premiere in the afternoon.

​​

Media reporters gathered in the Normandy cemetery area. DreamWorks and B prepared a considerable battle. Not only did they invite veterans who participated in the Normandy landings, they also invited the honor guard of the US military. Everything seemed to be serious.

​​

When the actors got off the bus, they all received a bunch of flowers from the flower baskets near the door, smiled, got off the bus solemnly, and walked towards the cemetery monument square under the flashing lights of the media reporters.

​​

Matthew came to Carentan relatively late, and didn't have time to watch the event process. Fortunately, he didn't have to act alone. He followed the team.

​​

In this case, this kind of activity, if you make a mistake, the negative impact may be even greater.

​​

The Monument Square in front of the Normandy Cemetery was full of people. On both sides of the steps leading to the Monument, there were also American honor guards standing. On the open space on the left, there was a row of salutes. Matthew speculated that the cannons might be fired for a while.

​​

He followed in the procession, walked along the steps to the monument, looked solemn and looked very heavy, put the bouquet under the monument, and then left slowly.

​​

As he left, he saw Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg on the side of the monument, who were being interviewed by reporters.

​​

Afterwards, Matthew and the others returned to the square. All of them had been instructed in advance, and no one was talking nonsense. The whole square seemed very quiet and solemn.

​​

After standing in the square and waiting for a while, the commemoration began. An American general with a star hung in front of the monument gave a brief speech, then a sad Scottish bagpipe sounded, and then there was a salute...

​​

Matthew didn't know what to do either. He just wandered around in the team. Anyway, this commemorative event is more a marketing campaign than a commemoration.

​​

But after he participated in the whole process, he had to admire these companies in Hollywood. There were too many tricks in publicity and marketing, and they had great influence.

​​

Such an event goes far beyond the scope of entertainment news.

​​

At noon, he returned to the hotel to rest. Before leaving in the afternoon, Matthew changed into a dark gray formal suit and put away the black suit, just like he participated in the red carpet for the premiere of "Gladiator" last time. This is also from leasing. Originally, he only planned to rent one set, but he was strongly opposed by Helen Herman. Although he was still an actor, he could not wear the same dress for two different occasions.

​​

In this regard, men should be as particular about women as women.

​​

Matthew also understands why clothing rental companies in the Los Angeles area are popular. If you have to pay for dresses every time you attend an event, it is estimated that many stars may go bankrupt.

​​

The premiere of "Band of Brothers" was held at the Utah Beach Memorial Plaza. DreamWorks and B spent a lot of money to build a giant tent like a theater on the plaza. A long red carpet was laid in front of the tent as usual. Ji's reporters gathered on both sides of the red carpet in a much bigger lineup than at the "Gladiator" premiere.

​​

However, the focus of the media reporters was on the main cast members such as Tom Hanks, Spielberg, Damian Lewis and those veterans of World War II, like the actors who trained with Matthew, all the way. Unhindered to go to the entrance of the tent.

​​

There is a special interview area here. As more and more people gather, reporters gradually pay attention. When Damian Lewis comes over, all the actors in the crew stand at the entrance of the tent, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder. Even the same, leaving a big group photo.

​​

Matthew couldn't find the opportunity to show his presence in front of the media, so he went into the tent early like everyone else, and after waiting for a while, the event finally ended, and "Band of Brothers" began a movie-like screening on the big screen.

​​

b broadcasted some clips from the first two episodes and the last eight episodes. Matthew watched it very seriously, not only because of the scenes he starred in, but also because of this type of war TV series, which was very new to him.

​​

Although I participated in the filming of "Band of Brothers", observing the filming with the naked eye is completely different from watching the final film.

​​

After watching the editing of the first two episodes and the last eight episodes, Matthew is somewhat surprised. It turns out that the TV series can still be shot like this, except for the war scenes that are not inferior to the movies, and the shooting, costumes, and scenes are almost impeccable. , so that he could almost smell the dirt in the trenches and the blood on the ground through the screen.

​​

In addition, there is neither shouting slogans nor teaching in the drama. Just like in the filming and in the script, they try to reproduce the joys, sorrows and sorrows of ordinary soldiers in those days as much as possible.

​​

After the premiere, Tom Hanks took to the stage to answer questions from media reporters. Because it was all clichés, Matthew couldn't help being a little bored. Looking at the promotional posters of the previous episodes, he suddenly felt that "Band of Brothers" was not all good. The show is realistic and serious, but by the standards of war dramas I've seen, it's not without flaws.

​​

For example, in the TV series, there is no scene where the generals or the head of the White House point to the country in front of the huge map. It is all a group of soldiers running around, retreating when they encounter difficulties, completely disorganized and undisciplined, without strategic vision, without Building high.

​​

For example, no American soldier has the pure spirit of sacrifice for the European people. Whenever a new combat mission is issued, he is always silent and tired of war, and he has no enthusiastic spirit of taking the initiative to fight. Even in the face of war, most people will fear.

​​

For example, soldiers actually have independent thoughts~www.wuxiaspot.com~ even have self-judgment standards, think that what is right, do not need others to affirm, especially disgust the kind of innocuous reward above. Shouldn't the words be all the commander raising his arms on the stage, and the soldiers are all excited?

​​

For example, the soldiers dared to admire the enemy, and the drama even dared to give the German army a lot of positive expressions, describing the bravery and tenacity of the enemy. In this type of TV series, shouldn't all the enemies be wretched, dumb, stupid, and timid?

​​

Furthermore, it was too out of date. I didn't realize it when I was filming. Now that I watched the premiere, I suddenly found that there were almost no emotional scenes between men and women. Thinking about the military TV dramas I've watched before, there weren't a few love triangles. How could it end?

​​

Also, Americans are too delicate, Richard Winster is good in command, Ronald Spears is iron-blooded, but there are no good soldiers in the end, and it is the most important thing to save lives at the critical moment, and there are even officers who are scared Psychological breakdown, what kind of soldier is this? It should be inserted into the play with some American soldiers holding a blasting tube and shouting the slogan "Destroy Hitler". Coupled with a round of red sun and green pines in the mountains, the play will be more touching, and the audience will receive a profound theme education. .

​​

He looked at Tom Hanks, and then at Steven Spielberg below the stage. It was the problem of these two producers. Their ideas were not good, they were a bit backward, and they should study hard...

​​

"What are you thinking?" asked Michael Fassbender next to him, "so ecstatic?"

​​

Matthew shook his head, "Think wildly, entertain yourself.")!!
