Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

Warner Studios, another studio not far from Studio 11, where "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" is located, moved into a new crew last month. However, there are very few crew members at present, and the project seems to have just been promoted and has not yet entered the real planning stage. The shooting time will definitely be much at night.

The new week kicked off. Matthew came to the training studio where the crew of "The Three Hundred Warriors" was located. As soon as he changed his clothes and entered the training ground, he heard someone talking about seeing the big star Will Smith coming to Warner Studios.

Of course, Matthew knew that one hundred meters from this studio, you could see the studio where the crew of "I Am Legend" was located.

Will Smith came here early in the morning and should have auditioned for the leading actor of "I Am Legend".

He walked to the weapon rack and just took out the Spartan dagger he used to use. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender came over.

These two guys are wearing special T-shirts that "I Died in the Battle of Hot Springs", but compared to before, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender have become much stronger. After two months of professional training, the muscle profiles on their bodies are quite obvious.

"Matthew." Michael Fassbender also took a prop dagger, lowered his voice, and asked with concern, "Are Will Smith here to compete for the role with you?"

James McAvoy raised his eyebrows and said, "I have seen it everywhere at Warner Studios these days. The facilities are outdated and there are no surveillance cameras. We have ready-made weapons here. Do you want me to find a headgear and go out..."

"Don't do anything random!" Matthew quickly interrupted James McAvoy and emphasized, "This is Will Smith! It's not an insignificant training officer back then!"

He knew that James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender were similar to him, and he was bold and ruthless, otherwise he would not have led the leadership to plan those things at the beginning.

Matthew said again, "Don't worry, it's just the crew that is putting pressure on Helen and me to lower our chips."

Negotiation with similar means, let alone Hollywood, is a common thing to look at the entire business world, and James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender quickly figured out this.

That being said, Matthew called Bella Anderson over before training and asked her to pay attention to the situation on the crew of "I Am Legend".

After two months of basic fitness, all the actors who played Spartan Warriors also began basic swordsmanship and action training.

The shooting of epic war films such as this, which is full of action scenes, is generally recognized as much more difficult in the actor circle than in art films. Even if there are stunt actors as stand-in, the actors need to take part in many action scenes, so a lot of preliminary training and rehearsals before shooting are necessary.

Even a guy like Matthew, who has outstanding talent, thinks it is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than shooting art films to lock himself in a room to study characters.

"Wait, Matthew." The movement guide stopped Matthew's training and walked over and said, "This movement is wrong."

He took the prop spear from Matthew's hand and made an action demonstration. He also said, "You throw the spear against enemies at medium and short distances. Don't throw it into high altitude like throwing a javelin, and shoot it flat."

Matthew nodded, "I get it."

Training will definitely add a lot of modern elements and more ornamental actions, after all, this is a movie.

After an hour of training, the action guidance brought together all the Spartan warriors, including Matthew, to practice the Spartan array. Although the actors are not as exaggerated as the 300 warriors, there are only more than 30 people, and more Spartan warriors are added later with computer technology after the shooting is completed, but it is definitely not an easy task for more than 30 people to keep as uniform as possible in the same array as the army, rather than straggling warriors.

This requires a lot of training.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the training came to an end. When Matthew had just walked to the rest area, Bella Anderson came over.

"Will Smith left Warner Studio fifteen minutes ago." Bella Anderson whispered to Matthew. "Francis Lawrence, the director of "I Am Legend," kept sending him to the studio's door."

Matthew nodded, "I get it."

Bella Anderson said, "I heard from a maintenance worker in the studio that when Francis Lawrence and Will Smith passed by him, he said he would support Will Smith in taking the lead role."

"Yeah." Matthew was silent for a while, and then reminded, "Bella, continue to pay attention to the situation on the crew of "I Am Legend".

"I understand." Bella Anderson nodded slightly.

"Aziva Gossman and the crew chose Will Smith to audition today." Matthew shook his head, "This is to force me to make more concessions."

Bella Anderson can also see this, "The afternoon is a new round of negotiations between Helen and the crew, and their purpose is very obvious."

Before, she was curious why Will Smith cooperated with Aziva Gosman and the crew of "I Am Legend". It is not difficult to see now that Will Smith is planning to win the male lead.

"When will Helen come?" Matthew asked.

"It's noon." Bella Anderson took out his cell phone and looked at it. "I contacted her half an hour ago. She said she wanted to find out the specific situation before coming here."

The training began again soon, and Matthew temporarily put the Will Smith audition aside and focused on training. He and several stunt actors were going to practice the action scenes during shooting. If he didn't concentrate, he would easily hurt people with his strength and speed.

After lunch training, Matthew met Helen Hermann who was rushing over.

"Will Smith had an audition without makeup..."

In a restaurant outside Warner Studios, Helen Hermann said to Matthew who was having lunch, "The audition was director Francis Lawrence, and the participants were Aziva Gossman and David Heyman, as well as a photographer. I can't find out what the situation is."

She crossed her hands on the dining table, "However, after the audition, Francis Lawrence strongly recommended that Aziva Gossman use Will Smith as the leading actor! And..."

Matthew looked up and looked at the opposite side. Helen Hermann sighed, "The existence of the director Francis Lawrence is a very big trouble for us. I found out from the agents of the Black Eyed Peas Choir and Avril Lavini who he worked with, that Francis Lawrence is a real leftist, very sympathetic to black people. He is also closely related to a black actor named Paula Patton. It can even be said that under his white skin, there is a black heart."

Matthew was not too surprised when it comes to Helen Herman's words. He has seen many white people who truly support and like black people in the circle in recent years.

Without the sincere support of these people, Hollywood-style political correctness would not have evolved into what it is now.

Matthew had some headaches, even if he looked at the whole United States, Will Smith was the best among black people.

Helen Hermann said, "I have been in the mailroom of Caa. I have been asking for information in the past two days. I support Will Smith as the director of "I Am Legend". It is a deal reached by Frances Lawrence and Caa. Caa's big-name agent Kevin Huo Weien also made a promise to Frances Lawrence to support Paula Patton in the supporting actress in the script."

"What?" Matthew frowned, "I want this character, too."

Helen Hermann heard Matthew talk about his plans a few days ago and immediately reminded him, "It's not too late to make sure the hero, and it's not too late to advance your plan."

Matthew put down his knife and fork, "A director has a great impact on the crew. Helen, should we be more cautious to avoid capsizing?"

"Well." Helen Herman nodded cautiously, "Francis Lawrence clearly stands on Will Smith's side, and wants his rumored girlfriend to play a supporting actress. Even if we successfully sign a contract with the crew, this is not a good thing for you."

Matthew scratched his eyebrows, "A director can do too much." He is not a new actor after all, and has rich experience in filming. "It would be too easy if Francis Lawrence wanted to target me on set."

Compared to actors who do not have any production rights, the director naturally has the advantage.

With his fingers gently pressed against the dining table, Matthew frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Helen, I want to get this role and I also have to be a name producer."

In fact, the best way is to kick Francis Lawrence directly out, but in such a project, it is not easy for an actor to play the director to get out, or even very difficult.

But if he can be ranked among producers, he will be able to steadily over Francis Lawrence.

Of course, if he can find the right opportunity, his first choice is to kick Francis Lawrence out.

Matthew and Helen Hermann exchanged their ideas, and Helen Hermann also recognized them quite well.

In another restaurant near Warner Studios, Aziva Gossman and Francis Lawrence were sitting at a dining table for lunch.

"I think Will Smith is more suitable for this project than Matthew Horner," said Francis Lawrence. "Will Smith has always been very popular among white audiences, and in minority audiences, he is born with an advantage, which is something Matthew Horner cannot compare to."

Aziva Gosman didn't speak, he was always thinking.

Francis Lawrence also said, "In terms of acting, Will Smith is much better than Matthew Horner. This is a one-man show. I really doubt Matthew Horner's acting skills. With his past performance style of being handsome and cool in the film, can he support such a film?"
