Best Movie Star

Chapter 164: all bad guys

Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!

Everyone looked at the assistant director and didn't understand what happened. Even if it was because the tourists refused to cooperate, the crew had to temporarily change the shooting plan, right?

The assistant director panicked, his face full of incredulity, as if he saw the outbreak of the Third World War.

"Fernandez!" Chuck Russell exclaimed, very dissatisfied, "Calm me!"

"Something happened! Something happened..." Fernandez didn't mean to calm down at all, he still looked like just now, "My brother... My brother..."

He was incoherent, and Matthew was completely at a loss.

"What happened to your brother?" asked a staff member who knew him well. "You told me yesterday that he went to work in a big company in the World Trade Center?"

Hearing the word World Trade Center, Matthew was surprised and asked Mira-Wang next to him, "What date is it today?"

Mira-Wang replied immediately, "September 11th."

September 11th! September 11th... In addition to the World Trade Center just now, Matthew instantly thought that the shocking case that once changed the whole world happened.

Sure enough, the assistant director cried and roared, "I just heard the news that the World Trade Center was attacked, the South Tower of the Twin Towers has collapsed, and my brother is working on the 78th floor of the South Tower..."

"how is this possible?"

"No way?"

"This kind of thing can't be used as a joke."

Most people in the crew didn't believe it, or they couldn't believe it. After all, in the past 100 years, the United States has never encountered a serious attack.

Matthew believed it was true, but he didn't say it. He didn't say a word. It was the wisest choice to keep silent at this time.

Soon, someone took out their mobile phone and made a call to confirm that what the assistant director said was the truth.

"Oh, God……"

"how so?"

"Could it be that a world war is about to break out?"

There was chaos in the crew afterwards, and most people took out their mobile phones to make calls, especially those who had relatives and friends in New York.

Matthew also made two calls, one to Britney, his girlfriend, and the other to Helen Herman, an important business partner, to make sure they were safe.

Britney was filming a music video in the Irvine area of ​​Orange County, and Helen Herman had just returned to Angels from Warner Studios, both very far away from the location of the incident in New York.

Then he texted James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, who responded quickly and apparently weren't in New York either.

Then, Matthew put away his mobile phone and acted as one of the countless ordinary bystanders just like those in the crew who had no relatives or friends in the Twin Towers.

As for taking advantage of this incident to get some benefits, let's forget it. First, he doesn't know how to get it, and secondly, he can realize that this kind of incident is not something that small people can mix.

It is impossible for the crew to shoot again today. Although few people's relatives and friends happen to be working in the World Trade Center like the assistant director's brother, this incident still has a huge impact on most people, especially Americans.

Not to mention that everyone panicked, but it was impossible to work with peace of mind.

Director Chuck Russell simply announced that he would rest today and talk about work tomorrow.

Matthew can also see that most of the crew's minds have flown to Manhattan, New York, and are no longer working.

Returning to the makeup trailer, he came out after removing his makeup. He saw that many people were on the phone, including Mila Wang, who was an Englishman. He seemed to be worried if he didn't confirm the whereabouts of his family.

"Who would have thought such a thing would happen." Kaili Hu came over at this moment, her makeup trailer was adjacent to Matthew, "Fortunately, my family is all in Hawaii."

She asked Matthew again, "You've already called, but not in New York?"

"Family?" Matthew shook his head, "I have no family for a long time. I called my friends, they are not in New York."

"We are all lucky." Kaili Hu said again at this time.

Matthew agrees, "Those who are not in New York are lucky."

Not in New York, not in Manhattan, this time is a kind of luck.

Even if you are far away from the World Trade Center Twin Towers, what kind of shadows and nightmares will you leave behind when you see these two world-famous buildings collapse?

The two chatted for a while, and Matthew left here, took a walk in the crew's trailer, and thought about 911 at the same time.

What he remembers most clearly is that shortly after 9/11, the Washington authorities and George W. Bush determined that bin Laden was the mastermind behind it, and then launched a war on terror that affected the whole world, and the situation in the whole world changed.

But what are the specific changes? He really couldn't tell, anyway, the news that he saw on the smartphone at that time was the change of the world situation...

A person who is running around for a basic livelihood doesn't care much about this aspect. For a small person, the world's great harmony is not as important as filling their stomachs.

What about Hollywood? He looked at the sun in the sky, tried hard to recall the entertainment gossip he had seen, and gradually remembered something related. It seemed that after the 9/11 incident, black actors became particularly active in Hollywood, and it seemed that the first black Oscar film was released. Later, it was still like a movie star. In the future, the use of black actors will gradually become Hollywood-style political correctness. If there is no main or positive black character in a big production, it must be suspected of racial discrimination...

In the future, the competition in Hollywood will be more intense. I am afraid that many mainstream commercial films will no longer mind having blacks as the protagonists. Maybe one day a black and LGBT film can easily win the best picture Oscar.

Matthew shook his head and stopped thinking about it. No matter white or black, those who block his way are all bad people!

Then, he recalled the impact of 9/11 on the place where he once lived.

The 911 incident was so famous that at that time many people thought that the US police had chosen this number as their alarm number after 911, but the fact is exactly the opposite.

According to Matthew's guess, Uncle Bin Laden and his world's number one underworld organization may have deliberately chosen this day to launch an attack.

Later, Matthew went back to his trailer, which had a satellite TV, and saw more news about the 9/11 incident.

Anyway, Manhattan, New York looks really miserable.

The 9/11 incident had a profound impact on the entire American society. Matthew and the crew lived in the Gobi Desert. Although he couldn't feel it, he could see its impact on the crew. After the crew started work the next day, some people were still uneasy. , I made frequent mistakes during work. Chuck Russell and Sean Daniel, who had just arrived, had no choice but to continue to give the crew a holiday, and they simply gave the crew a week-long holiday.

Matthew didn't go back to Los Angeles. He went directly to the Irvine area to meet with Britney, and booked a room at the same hotel for six days. The day before the holiday ended, he returned to Black Rock, Nevada. The desert area continues its role.

In the past six days, he has paid attention to a lot of current affairs news, and now the current affairs news is almost completely occupied by news related to the 9/11 incident, and he has also updated the relevant condolence blog posts on his blog.

At the same time, he also paid attention to the film industry. The 9/11 incident directly hit the film projection industry.

The entire North American box office sales have almost reached the lowest value in more than ten years in these six days, especially those films with heavy themes, all of which have been abandoned by the audience. It seems that the 9/11 incident has made the psychological endurance of North American audiences extremely fragile. .

Matthew couldn't help thinking of the film he participated in. This film is still in post-production and is expected to be released before the end of the year.

He subconsciously felt that there might be a problem with the box office. After all, this is a very cruel war movie with a lot of scenes of American soldiers being killed. After the 9/11 incident, mainstream audiences can psychologically accept such a movie. ?

Matthew feels that the prospect is not very good. There may be an anti-terrorism war later. The eyes and attention of the whole society will not leave the 9/11 incident. Maybe it will encounter box office Waterloo.

But this kind of thing is not under his control. The whole society is like this. I am afraid that the film company can do nothing but postpone the release.

Back in the Black Rock Desert, the crew finally got out of that strange state of sadness, anxiety, and inability to concentrate, and despite the occasional mistakes, the filming could go on~www.readwn.com~ and the horses Xiu's condition is still very good, and the number of NG's in literary dramas is relatively high, but the action scenes were filmed very smoothly, and the time wasted on literary dramas was often made up for through action scenes, and the crew has been advancing as planned.

Sometimes, Matthew also wonders, is there any kind of movie that goes from beginning to end, doesn't need to say many lines, but also shows an expression from beginning to end?

It seems that I am very suitable for this type of film.

It's a pity that there are too many action scenes, and the film is always regarded as a brainless film by the media and critics.

Half a month later, the crew ended their location scenes in the desert and returned to Los Angeles to continue filming at Warner Bros. Studios.

The crew also launched a pre-promotional poster. On the main poster, other characters were removed, and the main actor was Matthew, and then the green leaf Hu Kaili was used as an embellishment.

Originally, the poster was to be released in mid-September, because the 9/11 incident has been pressing until now.

"What about us? Wasn't the poster originally with us?"

In a dressing room shared by three people, Clark Bernard stood there, his face seemed to have a lot of anger, "Why don't we have us now? Why delete us?"

Dave Villa spread his hands and shook his head again, "I don't know."

"I know!"

Steven Brand, who had been silent for a long time, said suddenly, "I asked someone, and it was Matthew Horner who put pressure on the crew through Helen Herman to remove us all from the poster. deleted!"

Clark Bernard's eyes widened, "He's bullying!"
