Chapter 496 Can't keep up with the rhythm
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
"What would you do when you're the only one left in the world?"
Walking in the studio, hearing the problem of Gilmo del Toro wearing disc glasses, Matthew stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated set house, thought for a while, and said seriously, "If it were in New York, I would jump from the Empire State Building."
Gilmo del Toro pushed his glasses up, "The answer is really unexpected."
Matthew shrugged slightly, "There is not even a person who can talk and communicate. It is better to die than to live."
The two continued walking along the aisle, and several people ahead were leading a German shepherd.
"Hey, Carl."
Seeing the German Shepherd, Matthew took the initiative to meet him. The German Shepherd named Carl immediately circled him, and after hearing the order of the dog trainer, he sat on the ground.
This is his only companion in the film.
These days, Matthew has been with this dog frequently and as a photographer, he must get familiar with it as soon as possible.
Carl is not only well-trained, but also an old Hollywood actor. The crew pays it and its owner more than Alexandra Dadario, who is a supporting actress.
It is not rare in Hollywood that animal actors are paid more than main actors.
Matthew was basically familiar with this dog, and the crew and him never thought that they could direct Carl directly. The main reason for filming was to rely on the trainer.
Just like in the past few days, he took the leash and accompanied by a trainer, Matthew took Carl and walked around the studio, fed him some dog food. It was nearly an hour before he found director Gilmo del Toro and continued to discuss matters about scripts and shooting.
"If there was only one human left in the world." Gilmo del Toro stood in a laboratory scene and asked Matthew again, "What is his best way to survive?"
Unlike the last joking question, Gilmore Del Toro was obviously asking a question as a director. Matthew thought about it for a while before saying, "I think facing a quiet world alone can definitely drive people crazy. What is more terrifying than this is the special guests in this film, those 'human' who were once well-dressed but now have hideous faces."
The two discussed not the topic of nothingness, but the script that Aziva Gossman had finalized.
Matthew also brought the topic to the script, "It can be said that the script story itself puts human beings in a situation that can be called a desperate situation, and the space for them to survive is very limited."
Gilmo del Toro nodded, walked towards the DVD store opposite the lab, and said as he walked, "So, we need to see the lonely back of the hero in the first half of the story, and the 'careful arrangement' he made to alleviate his lonely living environment."
Speaking of this, Gilmo del Toro walked into the DVD store, stood next to the dummy who had not been placed in place by the container, and said to Matthew, "No matter whether he followed his usual habits, he rented discs at the DVD store as if nothing had happened, and "talk" with passers-by dressed up as a mannequin, all of these detailed shots reflect the nature of the protagonist's lonely survival."
"So!" Guilmo del Toro turned to look at Matthew and said, "I need you to use your personal performance to reflect all the loneliness that seems absurd but with tears in the beginning of the movie!"
Matthew walked to Guilmo del Toro and looked at the dummies with confidence, "I'm ready."
Gilmo del Toro nodded and said, "The power of faith is the greatest motivation to support the hero's protagonist in survival. The perception and cognitive ability of external things, as well as the improvement of self-awareness are exactly what humans call humans. And when the external factors that support these characteristics are lost, how long can humans survive under the already fragile shell?"
Facing this question, Matthew has no way to answer. To be precise, this is a bit too profound. How could a person like him consider such a problem based on a script?
The script of "I Am a Legend" is a pure and extremely entertaining movie script in his eyes. It is not a psychological inspiration, nor will it allow ordinary people like him to suddenly realize the philosophy of life.
Those are the issues that directors should consider, he is just a commercial star actor.
Gilmore Del Toro is a very thoughtful director, and he heard Aziva Gosman and Helen Herman talk about this.
In front of such a director, Matthew was too lazy to pretend and said directly, "This is a question that is difficult to answer."
Gilmo del Toro reached out to pat a dummy in front of him, but did not give an answer. Instead, he said, "The hero carefully arranged these seemingly ridiculous and helpless 'fake environments', which is a kind of assessment standard that reminds him that he can still be determined as humans. If humans leave these communications and activities, their degeneration may also be astonishingly fast."
Matthew didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
To be honest, when discussing this issue with a director, he really couldn't keep up with the pace.
But Matthew still listened to these words from Gilmore Del Toro very seriously. Every director has his own style, even Michael Bay's kind is no exception. Most of the time during filming is the actors adapt to the director's style.
Unless you can do it to the point where Tom Cruise can.
Staying in the studio until four o'clock in the afternoon, Matthew took Carl around, then left Warner Studio, drove to Los Angeles International Airport in person, and picked up Alexandra Dadario who had just returned from New York.
"Have the matter in New York been done?"
Putting Alexandra Dadario's suitcase into the trunk, Matthew got into the car and asked, "The crew is about to start filming."
Alexandra Dadario sat in the passenger seat, tied up his seat belt, and said, "I'll take a break from school for one year."
Matthew started the car and drove slowly away from the airport. "Anna, are you going to stay here for a long time to develop?"
"Yes." Alexandra Dadario let out his seat belt. "I have figured it out in the past two years, and the career of an actor is suitable for me."
She smiled and said, "My father asked me to take the lawyer exam, but I got a headache when I saw those legal provisions."
At the intersection in front of the road, Matthew stepped on the brakes, and after the car stopped, he turned to look at Alexandra Dadario. At the end of September, the temperature in Los Angeles was high, and Alexandra Dadario was dressed very cool. He was wearing a white suspender T-shirt on his upper body, and it was a low-cut design. He sat on the passenger seat, and the black seat belt passed through his chest, creating a bottomless dent...
Matthew unconsciously touched his nose and quickly turned around to avoid driving to the mountain.
Alexandra Dadario was not suitable to sit in the passenger seat at all! He muttered in his heart, and the intersection turned into a green light, so he quickly started the car and drove forward.
"Or where Amanda?" Matthew asked.
"Hmm." Alexandra Dadario moved his seat belt again, and seemed to be uncomfortable. "I plan to stay in Los Angeles for a long time, live in Amanda for the time being, and then find a suitable house as soon as possible."
Matthew turned the road to Ximu District and said, "Amanda has been very busy recently and probably won't be able to help you."
Amanda has been communicating with UNHCR, Sky Dance Film and Warner Bros. to determine that at the right time period, a large number of supplies will be transported to Africa with great fanfare.
Alexandra Dadario thought for a while and said, "I'll go back and ask Helen, aren't there any department in the company that specializes in this kind of business?"
Matthew suddenly thought of something, "Why don't you go to my place?"
As soon as he said this, he realized that there was an ambiguity. While Alexandra Dadario did not react, he explained, "I have a separate house in the northern suburbs of Burbank. I lived there before I moved to Beverly Hills, but I later became vacant."
Alexandra Dadario turned to look at Matthew, as if thinking about it.
Matthew said indifferently, "It is very close to North Hollywood, San Fernando Valley and downtown Burbank. It takes a few minutes to go out and it is the interstate highway. At most twenty minutes, you can drive to downtown Los Angeles."
Alexandra Dadario nodded slightly.
"For rent..." Matthew didn't know the changes in the real estate market in the past two years, so he said casually, "It's better according to the market price."
"I'm very poor." Alexandra Dadario whispered.
Matthew thought for a while and said, "When I ask Bella to take you over tomorrow, if you like it, you will live there temporarily, and the rent... and I will give it to me when you get all the pay."
It is easy to cause misunderstandings if you live for free.
Alexandra Dadario didn't think about living for free, but she was really not well-off. "Then I'll call Bella tomorrow."
Matthew speeded up the train and said, "I will tell her in advance when I'm sending you over."
The house has been empty since he moved. Originally, Bella Anderson had thought about renting it, but it was a bit far from Beverly Hills. Later, for the convenience of work, he rented a house outside Beverly Hills.
Beverly City can also be regarded as a satellite city in Los Angeles. In addition to Beverly Hills where the rich gather, there are many ordinary communities.
Of course, compared with downtown Los Angeles, the entire Beverly City is more than one level higher in terms of overall environment and residents' income level.
When Alexandra Dadario was sent to the destination, Amanda happened to be at home, so Matthew simply invited the two to have dinner together. The next day, Alexandra Dadario followed Bella Anderson to the northern suburbs of Burbank and rented the house.
