"This is Mr. Matthew Horner."

In the newsroom, after the crew's press officer introduced it, Matthew stood up and bowed slightly, his face full of warm and bright smiles. In addition, the beard left by the crew in "Black Hawk Down" has not been shaved off, and he looks like a mature age-departed.

The reporter reported that the press officer also introduced, "Mr. Matthew Horner is the actor of Ronald Spears, the fourth company commander of Company E."

As soon as these words were said, a reporter immediately raised his hands, and the role was obviously more attractive than the actor.

After the press officer named it, a staff member took the microphone over.

"Hello, Ma...Mr. Matthew Horner, I am a reporter from Empire magazine." The reporter stood up and asked, "Can you tell me the truth about Ronald Spears' killing of prisoners of war?"

There are related plots in the second episode of the TV series. The subsequent editing also focused on this aspect, so he asked this question.

Matthew said something interesting without comment, "Have you noticed this kind of story? Everyone said that it was heard from the person on the scene, but when you ask that person, he would say that he heard from another person on the scene."

Although the TV series has taken a virtual explanation of whether Spears really killed prisoners of war, killing prisoners of war can be said to be a relatively common phenomenon in Hollywood war movies.

There was a scene during the filming. Matthew still remembers that when Captain Winters, played by Damian Lewis, asked his subordinates to escort prisoners of war, he asked the soldiers to take out the bullets from the gun and leave only one. In his opinion, it was to prevent the soldiers from killing prisoners of war indiscriminately, which also showed that killing prisoners of war might have been more common at that time.

After all, killing prisoners of war is the easiest and most effective way to deal with it.

Two other reporters asked questions, both of which were programmatic questions, and the media time belonging to Matthew ended, because he played Ronald Spears, and James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender had no chance to enter the news room at all.

There are more than a dozen actors in the news hall, and each of them has limited time to accept media interviews.

However, Matthew will also participate in two publicity activities for the crew in Los Angeles, one of which is the crew raising funds for elderly, sick and lacking care for veterans.

On the weekend after the premiere of Utah Beach, Brothers officially landed on HBO TV and was broadcast to paying users. HBO is not a public TV station, with about 15 million users. Even among paid TV stations across the United States, it is the most expensive group.

In other words, HBO is the top customer base in the food chain of TV viewers.

The huge publicity, excellent production, high production costs, huge influential producers, and that special history have enabled "Brothers" to get a beautiful weekend premiere data.

During the first broadcast on Sunday night and the replay the next morning, the first episode of "Brothers" received more than 10 million viewers. Although it is incomparable to the TV series on public TV stations, two-thirds of HBO's users watched the TV series.

Over the next few weeks, the audience ratings declined, but "Brothers" has maintained the number of viewers with more than 8 million collections.

What is more explosive than the number of viewers is the reputation of "Brothers".

The critics gave this miniseries a consistent and high evaluation. Even if the broadcast has not ended, they all believe that it will become a classic work in World War II film and television works.

"Brothers" has a reputation among ordinary audiences. Even when the ninth episode is broadcast and the rating users exceeds 100,000, IMDB scores are firmly above 9.5 points.

"The outstanding thing about "Brothers" is that it describes war with compassion from beginning to end. Most of the time in the play describes the lives of ordinary soldiers, and there is almost no high-level generals. Compared with the war scenes with high fidelity, a group of vivid and unforgettable little characters will touch the audience more."

There are too many comments like this, so many that it makes people unable to see it.

"From today until the end of the world, we will always be remembered. We are the lucky few, we are brothers who depend on each other. Whoever fights bloody battles with me today is my brother."

After ten weeks of broadcasting, the premiere of "Brothers" on HBO fell to the forefront.

Thanks to the drama's high attention, Matthew also received some attention for playing the fourth company commander of Company E. Unfortunately, the news media reported him far less than expected. Even the male protagonist Damian Lewis is no exception. It seems that the audience and the media are concerned about the plot of the drama.

This can be said to be a miniseries with a plot far exceeding the characters.

Fortunately, I received not much attention, but there are always some.

In an elegant apartment in Cambridge, England, Amanda was sitting in front of a computer, looking through the column of "Brothers" on the IMDB website. In the column of character introduction, there was a character that made her pay attention to for a long time.

"Ronard Spears: The actor Matthew Horner Spears was the former platoon leader of the D Company. He was ordered in the Battle of Bastone to replace Dyke, who lost his command ability, as the company commander of the E Company, and gained the trust of the entire company. He is a legendary figure in the Second Battalion, brave and decisive, sometimes even cold, standard iron-blooded soldier. His other hobby is to "collect" trophy."

Amanda looked at the picture above the character introduction, and the steel helmet covered half of her head, revealing a firm face below.

"Matthew..." Amanda laughed, "Are you really going to become a star?"

She still clearly remembers this male actor who is a little older than her. She said she would go to the crew to visit his class, but unfortunately she was busy with her studies and failed to make it.

Most of the reason why she is in the UK and subscribes is a bit inconvenient, and she also watches "Brothers" is for Matthew Horner.

Unexpectedly, the little character Helen originally mentioned was quite outstanding.

After watching the stills, Amanda applied for an IMDB account and left the first film review in his life on the web column of "Brothers".

"The charming character in "Brothers" - Ronald Spears!"

"After watching "Brothers Company", Ronald Spears, the fourth company commander of Company E, left a deep impression on me..."

Amanda wrote a sentence, but she couldn't continue. This was the first time she wrote such things. She paused for a long time before she started typing on the keyboard again.

"Matthew Horner, the actor of Ronald Spears, performed one of the most personalized characters in "Brothers". At least that's what I think, his performance gave Ronald Spears calm, brave, fearless, jealous of evil, and tenacious... I like this role more than Winters."

On the other hand, although the media is more concerned about the plot, it is not without paying attention to the role of Ronald Spears.

After the seventh episode of "Brothers" was broadcast, "Entertainment Weekly" once reported Ronald Spears as the key figure in the episode.

"...Ronald Spears never denied the fact that he killed prisoners of war in the play because he wanted everyone to know that his ruthlessness was in line with the laws of the battlefield. As viewers, we can like Winters's care for soldiers, but Spears is the real symbol of the battlefield soldiers."

"Compared with Sober, the character played by Matthew Horner is equally ruthless, but his theory comes from the war he faces. When he guides the timid Bloy in the third episode, he proposes that soldiers should be ‘without mercy, without sympathy, without regret’."

"Entertainment Weekly" focuses more on the role of Ronald Spears. As for Matthew, who plays the role, he only mentioned it.

During the filming, Matthew had quite a lot of scenes, but after watching ten integrated films, he found that the character Ronald Spears was actually a relatively identity-savvy series in the series.

Although there are some regrets, it is not unexpected. After all, the protagonist of the film is Richard Winters, and the main character is also the person around Richard Winters.

"Actually, you are still very popular with the audience."

In a suite at the Hilton Beverly Hills, Britney was wearing only a man's shirt and was sitting on the sofa looking through the laptop. Her face was still red, as if something had not subsided. She said to Matthew, who was wearing a nightgown, "Come here and see, there are many people on Yahoo commenting on you."

Matthew got two glasses of water, walked over and sat next to Britney, and stretched his head to look at the screen.

Britney pointed to the laptop that came with the hotel suite and said, "It's just here, someone is asking questions."

Matthew has seen it, it is indeed something related to him.

"Who is the actor who plays Lieutenant Ronald Spears in "Brothers"?"

The people who asked the question obviously did not know Matthew, but very few people know Matthew now.

Here is a person's answer: "Called by Matthew Horner! A new actor."

This question was not over, and someone left a message later: "I like this character very much! Seeing that he was just called to command the company commander of the E Company, he rushed out of the bomb smoke like a plug-in, and then ran back and forth in the enemy's territory. It was amazing! Then I kept paying attention to him."

Britney dragged the web page down, beyond Matthew's expectations, and there were still many people leaving messages.

"I feel that the character this actor has created is very good. He has a tall and strong figure, dark hair, a rough and handsome face, and is very strict. He looks like a leader and acts like a leader. Well... a strong, aggressive, brave and resourceful infantry platoon leader."

"That handsome actor, and the mysterious atmosphere caused by so many events have created enough momentum for him. Then, a company commander Dyke who was so bad that he fell out of the chain when he officially came on stage. At this time, the ground was filled with a loud noise, and Matthew Horner made a brilliant appearance, and as soon as he became the company commander, he performed like a demon..."

After looking at it for a while, Matthew felt quite contented, but after looking at Britney in front of him, he returned to the ground from the clouds.
Chapter completed!
