In the dressing room, Matthew had just finished styling when Bella Anderson walked in with Helen Herman.
"I came from the "I Am Legend" crew." Helen Herman glanced at Matthew and said, "The news I told you last night was correct. Francis Lawrence voluntarily withdrew from the crew."
Matthew turned to look at Helen Herman and asked, "Just because the supporting actress didn't use Paula Patton?"
Helen Herman nodded slightly, "Yeah." She went on to explain, "Francis Lawrence threatened Akiva Goldsman with quitting the set, Akiva Goldsman was unmoved, and his threat became He took the initiative to resign from the directorship and fired the crew."
"This director is bold and principled." Matthew shrugged, "I wouldn't dare to threaten Akiva Goldsman with dismissal."
He has always been very clear in his mind. Although he is now a box office star, he has neither contributed nor was nominated by the producer. The crew is not obliged to him.
To put it bluntly, he knew that even with Will Smith, the project would most likely be a success.
Helen Herman said unceremoniously, "Although some of the ideas that Francis Lawrence upholds are annoying, in general, Matthew...he adheres to principles and ideas more than you."
"Really?" Matthew asked rhetorically, and then said, "My principles and ideas have never changed!"
Hearing this, Helen Herman immediately understood the meaning behind, and could not refute it, because Matthew really had not changed.
Matthew took the initiative to change the subject and asked, "Does Akiva Goldsman have a replacement director?"
"There are a few." Helen Herman glanced at the watch and said, "I recommended a person to them."
"Didn't you talk about Anna's contract?" Matthew asked curiously, "Who did you recommend?"
Helen Herman answered the first question first, "Anna's salary is basically negotiated, one hundred thousand dollars, and then I recommended a director by the way." She then said the director's name, "Guillermo del - Have you heard of Toro?"
"Sounds like a Latino." Matthew had never heard the name.
"A Mexican director.
"Helen Herman said simply, "His latest release is "Hellboy." "
Matthew suddenly realized, "It turned out to be the director of "Hellboy"."
He had seen this film before, and later there was a sequel, indicating that it was a successful work. It is estimated that the director's level should not be a problem.
Helen Herman seemed to know what Matthew was thinking, saying, "Guillermo del Toro has more seniority than Francis Lawrence and has directed four or five films. There is Blade 2, which is a very distinctive commercial director.”
Matthew nodded and asked, "Will Akiva Goldsman consider him?"
"It has been considered by the crew." Helen Herman thought for a while and said, "I am only responsible for recommending, and I am in charge of making up with Akiva Goldsman for the rift caused by the compensation for you. Will he use it? It's not up to us to decide."
In the previous salary negotiation, her attitude was so strong that it would not affect the relationship between Akiva Goldsman and Matthew too much, but it was inevitable to have opinions on her agent.
Brokers must not only secure high returns for their clients, but also have good relationships with big-name producers.
There was a knock on the door of the dressing room, and a crew member came to inform Matthew that the filming was about to start.
Matthew came out of the dressing room first and walked towards the set, Helen Herman and Bella Anderson followed.
Today, the crew will shoot the last few scenes. If the shooting goes well, all the shots will be completed before noon, and the shooting stage of "Three Hundred Spartans" will also be over.
Filming was still going on with green screen surrounds, and Matthew came directly to the set, and Eva Green, who was playing with him, had been waiting for a while.
Matthew greeted Eva Green and looked around. It was probably the end of filming today. Bearded Jack and David Ellison all came to the studio and were standing on the sidelines.
Director Zach Snyder came over and stood in front of Matthew and Eva Green.
He first looked at Matthew, then at Eva Green, and seeing that the makeup and clothing of the two were fine, he said, "Matthew, Eva, you have to show Leoni in this scene. The deep affection between Da and Queen Gogo, this scene is the last thought of Leonidas in the face of Xerxes' desperate fight."
"I understand." Matthew nodded.
Eva Green also said, "We are ready."
This is not a lie. The two of them had in-depth exchanges in the crew more than once, and they did not remove their makeup a few times. By the way, they also played role-playing according to the script. Among them, there was this wheat field emotional exchange scene.
Zach Snyder walked out of the set, Eva Green lay on the green screen, and Matthew got ready, and then an assistant director put the set sign in front of the camera lens and shouted start.
Matthew sat next to Eva Green, Eva Green turned to look at him, he also stared at Eva Green, and the two looked at each other affectionately, as if they were truly a couple.
After looking at each other affectionately for only a second, Matthew stretched out his hand and slowly stroked Eva Green's snow-white face. Eva Green reached out and grabbed his hand, as if he didn't want to keep him away.
Afterwards, a reluctant expression appeared on Matthew's face, but the reluctance turned into firmness in an instant.
Behind the director's monitor, Zach Snyder could see any change in expression on Matthew's face through the instantly transmitted image. The shooting of "Three Hundred Spartans" has come to the last day, and he is completely sure of one thing. , Compared with the filming of "Dawn of the Living Dead", Matthew's acting skills have obviously improved after several films.
Although there is a huge gap compared with Al Pacino or Daniel Day-Lewis, among the many commercial actors in Hollywood, it is already a relatively good one.
From his personal point of view, Tom Cruise's acting level in the "Mission Impossible" series is not necessarily better than Matthew in this film.
Originally, before the filming of "Three Hundred Spartans", Zach Snyder was a little worried after hearing that Matthew took over the commercial film "I Am Legend", which is almost a one-man show. After all, such a movie does not have a certain protagonist Acting, definitely can't hold up.
But as the filming began, this worry gradually disappeared. As long as Matthew can maintain the acting skills and state of the filming for more than a month, and cope with most of the scenes of the one-man show, the problem should not be a big problem.
Zach Snyder is actually very clear that compared to "Dawn of the Living Dead", his directing level is improving, and Matthew, who has participated in more filming, is also improving his performance level.
On the director's monitor, the scene had come to an end, and Zach Snyder hurriedly shouted, "Stop! It's over!"
On the set, Matthew stood up first, then stretched out his hand to pull Eva Green up, and Eva Green generously sorted out the costume that exposed most of her chest.
"My scenes are all over," Eva Green whispered to Matthew. "It feels so fast."
Matthew nodded to her and agreed, "Yeah, the time with you has passed so quickly."
Eva Green glanced at him, not sure how much sincerity there was.
Matthew lowered his voice and invited, "Do you have time at night, come to my place to enjoy the night view of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills?"
Eva Green thought for a while, then responded, "There is time." She thought for a while, and then said, "You still have a scene to shoot, so let me wait for you in the dressing room after I remove my makeup."
"Okay." Matthew said again, "I'll call you when I leave."
Eva Green then left the set, knowing very well that her part of the scene was over, and that this temporary relationship with Matthew Horner had come to an end.
Matthew glanced at Eva Green. Compared with Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson, the relationship between him and Eva Green was purer and simpler. It was purely from the body. Eva Green’s style is indeed bold, but neither disguised as a silly white sweet eyeball like Jessica Alba, nor used him to hype like Scarlett Johansson.
Relatively speaking, this is a relatively simple woman who dares to escape and escape.
The crew rested for half an hour and moved to another set of green screen sets. On the green screen that covered the ground, there were many dummies dressed as Spartans lying on the ground. All the dummies were face down or back. to the camera.
Taking advantage of this short time, the makeup artist also adjusted Matthew's makeup appropriately. In this scene, Leonidas has been shot by an arrow, but Matthew has no arrows on his body. All arrows will be added through post-production. .
Before shooting, Zach Snyder came over again and told Matthew, saying, "Shout out a heroic feeling."
Matthew knew what this final shout before Leonidas died, and when Zach Snyder started shouting, he immediately stood in front of the camera, drawing his sword and roaring.
"Ha! Ha-"
"Ka!" Zach Snyder shouted, stopping the filming, "Matthew, it doesn't feel right, do it again."
Matthew shouted again, Zach Snyder stopped again, and repeated five or six times in a row, but it didn't achieve the effect Zach Snyder wanted.
This seemingly simple scene is the most difficult to shoot for a lot of time.
After filming for more than ten times in a row, Matthew's voice was about to become hoarse, and he felt like smoke was coming from his mouth, and the voice he shouted was hoarse.
"OK!"
This is exactly what Zach Snyder wanted, and he finally called it through, and the shooting of "Three Hundred Spartans" ended. ) Download Free Reader!!
