"After you are busy for a day, you can't resist your fatigue and fall into deep sleep."

In the studio of a small studio near the University of Toronto, Zach Schneider stood in the venue set up as a police station with headphones and talked to Matthew. "After waking up, the whole world has changed. The police station is no longer noisy, but strangely quiet. Then, he encounters an attack strangely, and his partner dies and turns into a zombie. You think it's wrong, so carefully investigate..."

Matthew was wearing a tight black police T-shirt on his body and black police pants on his lower body. He nodded to Zach Schneider.

Zach Schneider turned around and squatted in front of a girl with a very scary makeup, and began to explain her role. Compared to adult actors like Matthew, child actors are the real headaches for directors.

Each director has his own habits and requirements when filming. Zach Schneider is obviously different from the directors Matthew has worked with before. He forbids actors to rehearse before filming, and pursues the wonderful sparks that suddenly collide when actors perform live. This is also in line with the setting that a group of people they don’t know are gathered together because of disasters.

Therefore, during the preparation period, the crew did not specifically arrange the actors to meet, nor did any actors have to rehearse in advance.

Of course, for some characters who need to use firearms during shooting, actors must undergo appropriate training and basic firearm knowledge learning.

Matthew was not very clear about how others were. He had never had any actors before coming to Toronto.

The crew's shooting locations this time were all in Toronto. This Canadian city is also a place where many Hollywood crews like to film. They even have the title of "Northern Hollywood". They are currently the third largest film production base in North America after Los Angeles and New York.

After coming to Canada, Matthew also learned something, Universal Pictures and Sean Daniel chose to shoot in Toronto, not just because there is a large mall here ready to be demolished for shooting.

In addition to being able to provide film production services for Hollywood as a "Satellite City", the attractive preferential policies issued by the Toronto government are the main reasons for allowing the crew to come and shoot. He occasionally heard Sean Daniel mention that the Toronto government can provide crew with subsidies close to 10% of the production cost.

This is not the most. According to Matthew's later special understanding, the local government's subsidies to Hollywood crews can reach up to 12% of the total production cost.

Compared with California and Los Angeles, such preferential policies are too attractive.

If he was the producer, he would also bring the crew here to shoot instead of staying in Los Angeles.

After Zach Schneider finished speaking to the little girl, he reminded her family to accompany her, and then asked another police officer to say a few words. Seeing that there was no other problem, he was ready to start shooting.

The crew departments were making the final adjustments. Matthew left the camera and came to the sofa to lie down, closed his eyes and opened his sleep. Although he had not rehearsed before, among the main actors in the crew, he was the first to get the script. Since signing the actor contract at the beginning of the month, he has studied the role in the Angel Agency and asked someone to help the opposite scene. He has basically carefully considered every scene of the character.

"The Living Dead Dawn, the first scene, the first act!" The assistant director's voice came over, "Start now!"

Zach Schneider and the photography director each controlled a camera and shot from two angles that did not interfere with each other. The entire set was extremely quiet. Because director Zach Schneider specifically asked, all staff members even breathed the lightest.

Matthew turned over on the sofa and woke up from sleep. He stretched his waist first, then looked up at the wall clock on the wall. He was about to stand up, but his partner who was resting near the door also woke up.

Since yesterday, there have been many biting incidents in the local area, causing police force to be tight. The male protagonist played by Ma Xiu and another police officer were busy for a long time and did not leave the police station at all. They found a room to rest.

The door was suddenly pushed open from outside, and some dazzling sunlight shone in. Matthew narrowed his eyes, as if he was still adapting to the light. The actor who was close to the door walked over and asked, "Is there anything wrong, Cordill?"

What came in was a girl they brought back from the road when they returned to the police station last night.

Matthew squeezed his eyes, as if he had adapted to the strong light, and suddenly found that the little girl's mouth was a little abnormal, but before he could do anything, the little girl jumped up and bit on the partner's neck artery.

The blood bag arranged in advance broke down according to the plan, and a stream of blood rushed out, dyeing the snow-white walls red.

Matthew reacted instantly and rushed up to pull the little girl. The little girl bit the skin and flesh that were pressed against the male actor's neck. The actor fell to the ground with his neck covering his neck. The little girl opened her bloody mouth and bit Matthew again.

Although he looked confused and a little panicked, Matthew's resolute face showed enough calmness. After all, he was a well-informed policeman. He grabbed the little girl's shoulder and threw her out.

The crew has already taken safety protection and there is no need to worry about problems.

Matthew then rushed over and closed the door. As soon as the door was closed, a violent impact began to hit outside, and the whole door trembled.

Leaving the door, Matthew turned around to see his partner. The partner's neck was bleeding and he was lying on the ground trembling constantly. He quickly pulled a towel and wrapped his neck.

"Save people!" At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Save people! Someone here needs help!"

But the surroundings were quiet and weird without any response.

Matthew couldn't stop the blood, his face was full of anxiety, and pulled off the intercom with blood-filled body of his partner and shouted loudly, "We need help here! Someone here is seriously injured..."

The intercom also had no response except for the stinging sound.

"Card!" Director Zach Schneider called out and stopped filming and said to Matthew, "It's very good! But, Matthew, you have to have some small expressions more rich, let's do it again."

Among the entire crew, it can be said that apart from Sean Daniel, Matthew has the largest card. Zach Schneider has been shooting MVs for celebrities and commercials for super brands for many years. He knows how to communicate with well-known figures. In a sense, the film director must be a good player in coordination and communication.

Matthew waved to Zach Schneider and said, "No problem!"

He sat on the sofa aside, and the special makeup artist came to put on makeup immediately. The other two actors were in trouble and had to put on makeup again, especially the actor who died of the policeman, who had to take a shower first and then put on makeup again.

But no one complained, even if everyone knew that it was Matthew's expression and emotions that were not in place, which caused these troubles.

This is the treatment of a male lead at the level of a celebrity actor.

A full hour later, the shooting started again. Matthew's performance this time was a little better. Zach Schneider was from shooting commercials and MVs, and paid more attention to the composition of the entire picture rather than the actor's performance. Seeing that it basically meets the requirements, he shouted through.

He has been preparing for a career-changing film director for many years, so he naturally knows that there are big differences between the performance of commercial entertainment films and the performance of literary independent films.

Many actors in the former must be unqualified when they get the latter, but the latter's performance method that deeply explores the characters' inner hearts is also not suitable for commercial entertainment movies.

After this scene, Matthew's condition was a little better, and he no longer had such scenes that he would spend a lot of time to put on makeup again. The shooting went a little smoother. Although each scene was basically a few times, the shooting had just begun, which was also a normal situation for the crew to run in.

ng is not necessarily because of the problem with the starring actor. Except for the photographer and artistic director who were brought by Zach Schneider, the crew is a temporary piece of paper. Even if there is enough communication during the preparation period, such a team needs to be run-in during the work.

The shooting in the morning was spent in the stop-and-stop shooting. There were many reasons for the interruption of shooting. Matthew's expression was not rich enough, and other reasons accounted for another two-thirds, such as the lighting was not suitable, the actor's position needed to be adjusted, the camera changed, and Zach Schneider had other ideas temporarily, etc.

By the time the work was over at noon, the crew had shot five shots. After Matthew escaped from the toilet window in order to avoid the zombies all over the police station, Zach Schneider announced that the work was over in the morning.

In order to maintain the continuity of the shooting, Matthew did not take off his makeup, and took his cell phone from his personal assistant and prepared to go to the restaurant for dinner. Since his previous personal assistant resigned, his current assistant is a crew member, which is somewhat inconvenient. Fortunately, he has no secrets of being shameful, and he doesn't have to worry about the other party seeing it.

This studio near the University of Toronto is not big. Currently, only one crew is working on "Dawn of the Living Dead", but the crew has already contacted it, and the studio's restaurant will be responsible for the crew's daily diet.

Because Matthew had makeup on his body, especially his clothes were covered with tomato sauce that looked like plasma, he did not come over, but instead directed his assistant to serve a few dishes he liked on the dining plate, and then found a dining table to prepare to eat alone.

This morning, we filmed scenes in the studio, and in the afternoon we will be filmed at an open-air studio outside the studio. There is no scene of the heroine, and Matthew did not see Jessica Alba coming to the studio.

He sat down and drank a sip of water first, picked up a fork, and was about to taste the brisket that looked very good when two women suddenly came over and sat opposite him.

Matthew looked up and saw that one was Helen Hermann and the other was Alexandra Dadario who had scenes to be filmed in the afternoon.
