Best Movie Star

It was dark in the studio of Warner Bros. Matthew stood with his back to the main camera, as if he was busy with something, and then Emma Roberts slowly walked into the studio, just in time for the main camera to shoot to the edge The location, curiously looked at Matthew's back, and slowly walked over there.

"Cobb, what are you doing?" she asked proactively, "You want to enter the dream alone?"

As if the secret was discovered, Matthew quickly turned his head and denied it, "No, no..." He shook his head and said, "I was just doing some experiments, I didn't expect there were people here, so..."

He looked at the petite figure of Emma Roberts, his eyes in the dark were particularly bright, and he blinked a few times unconsciously, "Why are you here?"

Christopher Nolan looked at the flashing picture. There was obviously a problem with the lighting adjustment of the lighting engineer. Matthew's eyes were not well set, and the eyes just now were too bright, causing the actor to blink his eyes several times in a row unconsciously.

However, he didn't stop and let the two actors on the set continue.

"Oh, sorry," Emma Roberts said embarrassedly at first, then looked down at the gadget in her hand, took it up and shook it at Matthew, "Actually, I'm playing with my dream totem. ."

The light on the opposite side came on again. Due to the glare, Matthew blinked again unconsciously, but he still picked up his pocket and walked towards Emma Roberts, "What is this? Adeni, let me see it for you. ."

Emma Roberts moved very quickly, and immediately put the gadget in her pocket and said, "You can only know what you said."

Matthew stopped and smiled, "You learn fast."

Emma Roberts stood opposite Matthew, probably against the backdrop of Matthew's tall figure, she looked particularly petite and delicate.

"This method of distinguishing between dreams and reality is very elegant." Emma Roberts, following Matthew's example, also picked up her pocket and asked again, "Is this your idea?"

Matthew's face darkened and his voice became low, "This is Mel's idea."

Having said that, he took out a spinning top from his pocket, slowly placed it in the palm of his hand, raised his palm quickly, placed it in front of Emma Roberts, and explained in a low voice, "Once this spinning top turns in a dream, it won't work. Fall down."

Emma Roberts looked at the top curiously, and reached out to take it, but felt inappropriate in the middle, and her hand retracted.

Matthew didn't mind either. He walked to the table next to him and turned the top gently, "In the dream, the top just kept spinning like this."

Emma Roberts nodded first, and then asked, "I heard Arthur say that Mel died?"

Matthew didn't want to say more, and instead asked, "How is the maze design?"

The light on the opposite side turned on again at this time, and the dazzling light illuminated several times in a row, and the discomfort in Matthew's eyes became stronger and stronger. However, as an actor, his acting skills may not be very good, but his literacy is very high. The director did not shout. Before stopping, he had been holding back the performance.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, director Christopher Nolan's voice came over, "Stop! Stop!"

The director called to stop, and the crew instantly ended the shooting state.

Christopher Nolan said to Matthew and Emma Roberts, "It's not your problem." He then said to the other side, "Southgate, come here! How did you adjust the light in Matthew's eyes just now? It's too bright. !"

The film can also be said to be a photochemical dream. The requirements for light are very complex. Although many lights can be adjusted in post-production, the light used for shooting on site is also extremely important.

A makeup artist came over to wipe Matthew's sweat, and Matthew pointed to his eyes, "Wipe it lightly."

His eyes were somewhat uncomfortable after being continuously dazzled by the dazzling light. He exchanged a special wipe with the makeup artist, and after wiping it a few times, he felt better.

Emma Roberts came over and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Matthew blinked and said with a smile, "A little problem, it's all right now."

"I just thought the director called to stop, because there was something wrong with our performance." Emma Roberts stood next to Matthew, probably as high as his shoulders. "This role is much harder than making a youth idol film."

Matthew didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

Emma Roberts asked curiously, "This script is very complicated, layer by layer, and it's confusing. I haven't figured it out yet."

"Actually, I didn't get it either." Matthew shrugged, "I'm also confused."

If he hadn't seen the movie, he wouldn't be able to figure it out if he just read the script. The images are often more direct than the words.

Of course, except those films that always like to make some inexplicable directors.

"But I think you're very confident." Emma Roberts was even more curious, "Do you have any tricks?"

Matthew shook his head slowly, "It's not a trick." He thought about it a little and said, "I just don't care what the whole story is about, just what Cobb needs to express by watching this scene."

Christopher Nolan asked him to form a husband-and-wife team with Anne Hathaway on set and part of life, but when he got off set, he also dealt with a lot of things, and basically never performed with Anne Hathaway outside of life.

Originally, I was going to take a step to the stomach that night on Oscar night, but Harvey Weinstein jumped out and made trouble. The fat man directly scared the grassy Anne Hathaway away.

He was not surprised by this. After all, Anne Hathaway has done similar things twice. When the first liar boyfriend and the second oil painting thief boyfriend had an accident, she left herself in the fastest way possible. Clean and tidy.

"Is it that simple?" Emma Roberts asked again.

Matthew ended his ramblings and said, "The premise of this is that I have established enough emotional connections with Dom Cobb."

Seeing Emma Roberts' eagerness for knowledge, Matthew simply said a few more words while director Christopher Nolan and the lighting engineer solved the lighting problem.

This also makes for a good image on Emma Roberts' side.

"I want to grasp the emotions and motives of the actor Dom Cobb. He planned the entire action, and what is it for?" Matthew spread his hands and whispered, "It's not as simple as just getting financial rewards."

Emma Roberts nodded lightly, "My role is not motivated by money."

Matthew smiled, "Actually, if you look at the Joker, and then look at the motives of those successful characters who can be widely circulated, they have nothing to do with money."

"Oh?" Emma Roberts thought about it for a while, and finally said slowly, "It seems so."

Matthew added, "The power and appeal of emotions, when it comes to film roles, is always greater than money. Although I am not a father, I know very well the place of home and children in the minds of most people around the world. For the values ​​of the world, Cobb's biggest motivation is to want to go home. He wants to correct his life and return to his family."

Emma Roberts squeezed her small chin lightly, "It seems a little vulgar."

"This kind of feeling and motivation seems particularly vulgar." Matthew first echoed, and then said, "But it is the highest emotion of human beings."

Not only does he have to grasp the role, just like Christopher Nolan specially designed action scenes for Dom Cobb, the crew also specially asked several screenwriters to adjust Cobb's lines and even behavior according to some of his own habits and characteristics. , so as to analyze, deconstruct, and reorganize them into a part of the film.

This is to make the character of Dom Cobb fit him more, make him look more real, and make the audience feel more appropriate.

Of course, other people can't enjoy this kind of treatment. Among all the actors in the crew, only Matthew has this qualification.

Frankly speaking, the script design looks more complicated than the films he has seen, let alone Emma Roberts and other actors, even Christopher Nolan himself is a bit messy. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Matthew has enough communication with Christopher Nolan and knows a lot about his work there.

When planning a specific shooting plan, perhaps because of the influence of the plot, Nolan made the plan a bit complicated, and even he was a little dizzy.

He filled the drawing board with exaggerated diagrams and timelines, trying to mark where the transitions took place in the film, and for weeks, he felt, in Nolan's words, he was banging his head against the drawing board.

Christopher Nolan finished the adjustment, and the shooting started immediately. However, today seems to be unfavorable, and the next shooting situation is frequent. As the morning passed, only two shots were taken.

By the afternoon, James McAvoy and Anne Hathaway joined the shoot.

The filming in Los Angeles, except for a scene where the train hits the streets, will be completed at Warner Studios, and then will be shot in Paris, Canada, London, Monaco and Tokyo.

In six countries and six different cities, this is also the most location-based filming in a film starring Matthew.

In addition, perhaps out of confidence in him and Christopher Nolan, Warner Bros. invested an additional $40 million in "Inception" at the same time as the film started shooting, thereby reducing the film's production budget from $160,000. million to $200 million.

A bigger production budget is also good news for the entire project.

The filming in the Los Angeles studio only lasted for more than ten days. Except for a few scenes with Emma Roberts, the rest are the opening scenes in the script, which is the scene where Cobb is looking for Saito.

The water tank designed by the crew is powered by an air cannon, which perfectly creates the scene where the flood washes the dream.
