Chapter 531: Don't win by drama

Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!

"Stop!" In the studio, Guillermo del Toro shouted, "Matthew, you are not in the right mood!"

Sitting in front of a map of New York, Matthew quickly got out of his role and looked at Guillermo del Toro, who was behind the director's monitor, and Guillermo del Toro beckoned to him, "Come and have a look. ."

"Okay." Matthew responded and strode over.

This scene was shot five or six times before and after, and his emotional expression has always been a little problematic.

Under normal circumstances, the director rarely let the actors see the shot, but Guillermo del Toro was not so particular, and Matthew never interfered with his work, and the two worked together quite happily on set.

Guillermo del Toro waited for Matthew to come to his side, pressed the play button, pointed to the screen and said, "On your face, you can only see disappointment, loneliness and pain, and there is no persistence as the last person!"

Looking at Robert Neville on the monitor screen, Matthew was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Do it again."

"Don't take a few minutes off?" Guillermo del Toro asked.

Matthew shook his head slowly, "No, I think I found that feeling."

"OK." Guillermo del Toro raised his voice. "All departments ready to shoot."

Amid the shouts of Guillermo del Toro, Matthew returned to the main camera lens, sat down again in a chair in front of the wall with a map of New York hanging, and quickly got ready to shoot.

And without the assistant director, Guillermo del Toro himself shouted, "Start shooting!"

"The thousand and one day, we came into close contact with a nest today." Matthew began a monologue, his voice was low, reflecting the influence of the external environment on people, "The blood test confirmed that I still have concerns about air **** and contact. Sexually transmitted viruses are immune, and dogs are still only immune to airborne viruses.”

His voice was even deeper, with obvious disappointment in it, "The experiment failed again, and I still haven't found a vaccine..."

Having said that, Matthew fell into silence and lowered his head. The mood at this moment was extremely disappointing and terrible, just like the end of one person, one city in the script.

But Robert Neville can survive in New York alone for more than 1,000 days and has experienced numerous experimental failures. He is not someone who can be easily defeated.

Matthew's previous NGs were basically problems here.

This time, he guided his emotional changes with his lines, "I will not give up, and the vaccine testing will continue."

Between speaking, he slowly raised his head, "I can't transfer my immunity to the infected, the KV virus is very..."

Matthew's demeanor gradually returned to normal, pursed his lips and nodded vigorously, showing an attitude of not giving up, and then said, "Very excellent! If you want to defeat it, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Having said that, his mood became low again, he lowered his head and remained silent for half a second, and said again, "By the way, the part about behavior, today an infected person was exposed to the sun, it may be because of the deterioration of brain function, Or the fear of food scarcity."

In the last sentence, he said it with particular grief, "They have lost their human behavior, and I think they are no longer human, but have become a whole new species."

Guillermo del Toro then shouted from behind the director's monitor, "Stop! Well done, Matthew! This one is over!"

Matthew easily got rid of the role. Legend has it that he was trapped in a situation where the character couldn't extricate himself, but he had never encountered it before. Perhaps this is related to the normal business characters he played.

"Prepare for the next one!" Guillermo del Toro shouted again. "Film in fifteen minutes!"

When he came to the rest area, Matthew took the water glass that Bella Anderson handed over, took a sip, and just sat on the chair, Bella Anderson said, "David Ellison just called, this year Victoria He has already sent the ticket to the Victoria's Secret show to the manor, which is held at the Kodak Theater, and the ticket can not only attend the Victoria's Secret show, but also attend the after-show party."

"Give me the phone." Matthew asked Bella Anderson for a phone, called David Ellison's number, and said thank you.

The two have long made an appointment to go to this year's Victoria's Secret show together.

Although the Victoria's Secret show is not a top-level show, it is the best hunting ground for Matthew.

Matthew handed over the phone to Bella Anderson, and Bella Anderson put it in the work bag and reminded, "Akiva Goldsman came to the set today to watch the shooting, and he was with a director."

She has been learning and mastering all kinds of useful knowledge since she served as Matthew's personal assistant. "If I am not mistaken, the director who accompanied Akiva Goldsman is Peter Berger."

Matthew was unfamiliar with the name, "Peter Burger?"

"The first directorial work was 'Bad Stuff' in 1998." Bella Anderson apparently remembers some of this person's resume. "In recent years, he has directed 'Hour of War' and 'Weekend Midnight Light'."

"I haven't heard of it." Matthew shook his head and asked, "What is he here for?"

Bella Anderson has grown very fast in the past two years, "I just asked someone specifically, Akiva Goldsman and Peter Berg have been watching you, but they are far apart and don't know what they are discussing ."

Having said this, she gestured with her eyes, "They are just outside the studio, looking over here."

Matthew followed Bella Anderson's gaze, Akiva Goldsman was chatting with the tall, thin brown-haired middle-aged man while looking at the resting place.

The film hasn't finished shooting yet, so how did Akiva Goldsman find another director, and it doesn't look like he's visiting the class.

"That script has been in Hollywood for more than ten years." The tall and thin Peter Berger whispered to Akiva Goldsman, "There has been no film company willing to invest in the filming. The main reason is that the story is weak."

He made no secret, "The plot of the existing script is very poor, and it must be overhauled. Even if it is overhauled, the risk is also great."

Akiva Goldsman did not answer him, but instead said, "This type of film does not win with plot."

Peter Berger had never been in contact with first-line commercial productions before, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe what you said makes sense."

"Don't care about the perfection of the plot and philosophical and humanistic thinking, this is a commercial film." Akiva Goldsman raised his voice slightly, "You don't need these things."

He's been in contact with Peter Berger for a while, and Peter Berger has been hesitant.

Akiva Goldsman had a general idea of ​​what Peter Borg was thinking, and added, "I know you're worried that failure could cost you years of hard work. But, Peter, what if I gave you a big box-office hit? "

Peter Berger's eyes fell on Matthew, "Do you want him to play the leading role?"

"It's not just me." Akiva Goldsman said directly, "Warner Bros. solemnly warned me that if the hero of the new film is not Matthew Horner, they will choose to give up production and distribution."

He glanced at Matthew's side and said, "You have already read the script, we can make appropriate changes. This script is mainly to highlight the charm of the male lead. No one is more suitable than Matthew Horner."

Peter Berg looked at the rest area on the set and never spoke.

It's not that Peter Berger is necessary, but Akiva Goldsman thinks his style is the most suitable, so he said, "I wonder if you have seen the latest box office statistics of "Three Hundred Spartans"?"

He didn't need to - Borg replied, and said directly, "Since it was released four weeks ago, the North American box office of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" has exceeded 250 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 500 million US dollars. I don't know if you have seen it. Have you seen this movie?"

Peter Berg nodded slightly, "I have seen it."

Akiva Goldsman asked, "What do you think of the plot?"

"Uh..." Peter Burger hesitated, but still said, "Very ordinary."

This is already polite, if according to his true thoughts~www.readwn.com~ the plot of this film is simply shit.

"But 'Spartan 300' was a huge box office hit," Akiva Goldsman said deliberately. "Director Zach Snyder became a Hollywood star."

He looked at Peter Berg and asked, "Why do you think this film was successful?"

"The director's unique style and Matthew Horner..." Peter Berger instantly recalled the announcements issued by countless investigative agencies. Those people thought that Matthew Horner alone might be the "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors". brought in one-third of the box office revenue.

Akiva Goldsman smiled, "It's not just the film and the director that make an actor, there is an actor who can make a director too, and Matthew Horner is such an actor." He reminded again, "Up to now, Matthew - All the movies that Horner starred in are all big hits, and all the directors who have worked with him have taken a critical step forward in their careers."

Peter Berg was still staring at Matthew, and after a while, he said, "Is Matthew Horner going to star in this movie?"

"It's basically no problem," Akiva Goldsman smiled and said casually, "Warner Bros. has already communicated with him initially, and he has no opinion."

In fact, the folks at Warner Bros. will initially approach Matthew Horner about the matter today.

Peter Berg nodded seriously, "I'll go back and discuss with the agent."

Akiva Goldsman said with a hint of caution, "The opportunity is rare, not too long."

"Well..." Peter Berger pondered for a while, "I will definitely give you an answer before the weekend."

The two made a few more polite words. Akiva Goldsman sent Peter Berger out of the studio. In fact, he did not agree with Warner Bros.’s approach, which was extremely detrimental to driving down Matthew Horner’s salary. It wasn't his money after all.
