Chapter 724: Great hatred

On the set, Matthew **** Anne-Hathaway, found another rope, tied it to the leg of the chair, and walked towards the window, as if to drop a rope through the window.

As soon as he walked away, Anne Hathaway, who had been in the way, was all exposed.

Watanabe Ken stood in front of Anne Hathaway, and saw clearly the style and technique of Matthew's binding Anne Hathaway.

"Too simple, too rude, and too careless!"

Looking at Anne-Hathaway bound by the rope, Ken Watanabe shook his head, "These Yankees are too careless, there is no artistic content in this binding!"

Think of his national counterparts, and then look at the tie-up of Matthew Horner, the difference is too far, Matthew Horner is at best kindergarten level.

What was supposed to be a shot of art turned out to be the mess it is now.

Unfortunately, he is not a director, otherwise he must stop shooting and let Matthew Horner go to see works such as Flowers and Snakes.

Director Christopher Nolan was very satisfied with the shot. After calling to stop shooting, he directly announced that this shot had passed, and then moved to a nearby wall to shoot.

This time it was replaced by Matthew's one-man show.

"I do one last check!"

The stunt guide of the crew stood next to Matthew and personally checked the safety equipment on Matthew's body, "It will take two minutes."

Matthew stood on the lift without speaking. He asked the stunt instructor to check the safety rope and harness again. Then he put on his suit jacket and took another rope. As rehearsed, he held the rope with both hands, and the soles of his feet were extremely frictional. The strong special wall slowly climbed down.

Climbing near a window, he turned his back to Christopher Nolan and raised a thumb, and Christopher Nolan announced the start of filming.

Matthew's palm is very powerful, and his hands are full of rough calluses that have been honed by years of exercise. Such abseiling is not difficult for him at all. He practiced a more difficult abseiling when he first filmed "Black Hawk Down". During the preparation of "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra", there was also related training.

This scene, because of the need for side close-ups, he had to shoot it himself.

Matthew continued to descend slowly, walked to the agreed position, and prepared in advance.

Next, is the hardest part of the game.

The originally tight rope suddenly loosened, as if the chair on the other end of the rope suddenly lost its weight.

Matthew fell rapidly, about three or four meters down, and the rope was taut again. His hands were strong enough, and he had a safety wire rope as an aid. He stared hard at the wall with his feet, and with the help of the rebounding force, he stabilized continuously. Spinning body.

Then, with a tense expression on his face, he looked up.

Of course, there was a camera lens above, but Matthew seemed to only see the endless darkness, his face quickly returned to calm, he grabbed the rope with both hands, and pushed his feet against the wall. It stopped before a glass window.

Suspended by a safety rope, he didn't actually put much effort into it.

Matthew climbed onto the windowsill, cut the glass, and got into the window.

The voice of director Christopher Nolan, calling to stop, untied the hook of the safety rope and stooped through the passage behind the window, where the lift was waiting.

When he got on the lift, someone immediately came over to help take off his suit jacket and untied the straps hidden under the jacket.

Matthew moved his arm, and his arm was a little sore. He rode the elevator down to the ground. The crew briefly entered the rest phase. Christopher Nolan came over and sat on the chair next to Matthew, taking advantage of this time to talk to Matthew. State the next focus.

"You're in good shape today, very good."

Obviously, Christopher Nolan is satisfied with Matthew's performance, "You keep the good state as long as possible."

A makeup artist was repairing Ma's make-up, and Matthew's speech was inappropriate, so he nodded slightly.

Christopher Nolan continued, "However, there is one thing you need to strengthen."

After the makeup artist completed the touch-up, Matthew turned to look at Christopher Nolan and asked curiously, "Which aspect?"

Frankly, it's been a while since filming, and he's always felt like he was doing well.

It's not about feeling good about yourself, and it's a sentiment shared by many on the set, including Christopher Nolan himself.

Although his acting skills do not reach the level of outstanding acting that the academy advocates, he has been in the industry for ten years and starred in many major productions, giving him a wealth of experience and profound accumulation.

The role of Dom Cobb was not as difficult as expected.

Matthew is very clear that this is the result of one film after another, and through the actual shooting on set and the performance in front of the camera, he temporarily feels that the role of Dom Cobb is simpler than that of Robert Neville.

The one-man show in the post-apocalyptic world is much more difficult than the bitter and vengeful Dom Cobb.

"The setting of the whole film is absurd." Christopher Nolan never hides this, saying, "But the style of the film is mainly realistic, and all your scenes, especially your performances, must conform to realism. requirements.”

Matthew nodded slightly, "I understand."

Christopher Nolan's words continued, "Not only do we look realistic, but let the audience feel that these dreams are reality." He gestured and said, "The scene design of the film is very absurd, and I want the audience to experience the The reality of the dream, the performance of the actors, especially the performance of your male lead are very crucial."

Matthew thought for a while and said, "That is, let the audience recognize that the dreams are real through the characters."

"That's right," Christopher Nolan added. "At the end of the day, when we're dreaming, we think the dream is real."

Matthew felt that the last sentence was a bit familiar, and suddenly remembered, isn't this the line in the script?

Christopher Nolan glanced at the time, stood up and said, "You've done a good job, much better than I expected, but you can do better! You have to put away all the pompous things in the performance and let The character becomes a person with real emotions."

He emphasized again, "Dom Cobb is not a character, but a person who really exists on the set."

Matthew didn't speak any more, but nodded solemnly.

Christopher Nolan then left and went to the director's monitor.

Sitting here, Matthew seriously considers Christopher Nolan's words, how can he make his performance more realistic?

Maybe this will be stumbling for others, but he has fully researched Christopher Nolan since "Batman: War Hour" and made the film in the mainstream commercial film circle, whether it is "Deadly Magic" or the two new Batman movies. , no doubt all have an extraordinary realism color.

No one can deny that the comic sci-fi color of "The Dark Knight" has been very light.

What is the main actor's acting style in these typical Christopher Nolan-esque commercial films of realism?

Matthew has his own feelings of hatred and bitterness!

Therefore, in his preparations for the following performances, his emotions and demeanor continue to strengthen in the direction of Qiu Dakushen.

In this regard, he not only needs to work hard in performance, but also needs the cooperation of the technical department of the crew, especially the makeup and photography department.

During the shoot that followed, Matthew asked Christopher Nolan to see the finished footage.

Under normal circumstances, Hollywood directors seldom let actors watch the scenes that were shot through, which can effectively reduce the disputes between the director and the main actors.

For example, the director took a shot that he was very satisfied with, but the main actor thought it was not handsome enough...

In most cases, actors who are not big enough are hard to compete with the director.

However, Christopher Nolan is no ordinary director, and Matthew is no longer an ordinary actor, and this request quickly became a reality.

Of course, Matthew was just watching and basically didn't express his opinion.

Realism is very important to photography and all aspects of this film. Nolan didn’t want the dream sequence to be superfluous and beyond reality, and wanted the dream shot to be as reliable as the real world.

In this film, sometimes the characters don't know what they're seeing is a dream, so the visual connection between reality and dream must be traceless, except at certain points~www.readwn.com~Christopher Nol Lan wanted the audience to know the difference, that in most cases the sense of reality in the film comes from the environment, not the cinematography.

By maintaining a sense of realism, according to Christopher Nolan, a subtle feeling of strangeness or unease can be created when needed without taking the audience out of the story.

Also, Christopher Nolan always tries his best not to overcomplicate his shots.

The structure of the story seemed quite complicated, but as Matthew was filming, he could tell that Christopher Nolan didn't like complicated shots.

It seems his secret is to work as simply and quickly as possible.

There was another scene this afternoon. The crew moved to the 11th location for filming. Daum Cobb, played by Ma Jiao, stepped back and fell into a bathtub full of water. His dream was awakened...

Matthew fell into the bathtub and was soaked all over. Fortunately, the filming was done once, and there was no need to do it a second time.

His role today is over, he went to the dressing room to remove his makeup and change his clothes, and came back to watch the filming.

Although it is impossible to be a director in this life, he is determined to be a gold medal producer who can make a lot of money, and he takes everything on the set seriously.

Watching Anne Hathaway filming Mel's scene, Matthew suddenly remembered an analysis after watching the online piracy of "Inception".

The specific content has long been forgotten, I only vaguely remember that the person said that the whole movie was a dream, a wonderful dream that Cobb had on his way home, the so-called story of his wife, his crime, the dreamer, all of them were Dreams have nothing to do with reality.

Just when Matthew was thinking about it, a staff member came over.

"Mr. Horner." The expression on the staff's face was quite strange, "A person who claims to be your girlfriend came to visit the class..."
