Chapter 695 Tracker
Just the day after Matthew took Karolena Kokuva to the desert for a round of fun, the crew had to change the shooting plan and temporarily postpone some of the scenes about the redhead, and first filmed the battle between the Duke and Colonel Brad because Karolena Kokuva had heatstroke.
While taking advantage of the break between shooting, Stephen Somos specifically found Matthew and talked about colds and heat stroke.
"Matthew, we are old friends and many years of partners."
Now, Stephen Somos is still quite polite. "You are also the most dedicated actor I have ever met since I started working."
Sitting under the huge sun umbrella, taking a sip of water, Matthew looked at Stephen Somos and smiled, "Stephen, just say something directly. We don't have to be so polite."
Stephen Somos thought about it and said in a tactful manner, "This film will be released on Independence Day next year. It is now December. Although the post-production is being carried out simultaneously, the time is really tight. Delaying for a few days may cause a series of plan changes."
Hearing this, Matthew immediately understood what Stephen Somos meant.
When filming in Iceland, he caught a cold in Sienna Miller, and in the end he was infected with the cold. Many people in the crew, including him, caught a cold.
This time filming in the Sonora Desert, Sienna Miller did not come, but Karolena Kokuva was hit by heatstroke...
If he was the director, he would probably have any objections.
Although it was not intentional, it always happened. Matthew nodded and said seriously, "Stephen, there will be no next time."
In the desert under the scorching sun at noon, a supermodel makes a disgusting person on the hot sand, and it's enough to watch it once.
Stephen Somos got the desired result, smiled at Matthew, and returned to his director monitor to continue shooting.
Matthew looked to the north of the filming site and could vaguely see the crew's residence. Because yesterday, Karolena Kokuva had heatstroke. Should he, the initiator, also show his statement?
Of course, one million dollars is impossible, after all, this is the commitment and reward agreed upon by both parties.
He immediately thought of the must-have oil and cooling oil that he would bring whenever he went to hot areas to film. When the crew finished work today, he would give Karolena Kokuva a few boxes.
When his eyes were withdrawn, Matthew found that there were many fans gathering on the outside of the set to watch the filming. He said to the assistant next to him, "I will give some water to those movie fans, and someone asked me and said I was ordered."
The assistant immediately replied, "I'll do it now."
Matthew nodded slightly and glanced at the movie fans again. They didn't have many people, only in their thirty years old, all of them were young people in their twenties.
When chasing stars and chasing them into the desert, they are basically his fans, and they are hardcore fans.
When it's time to show goodwill to fans, Matthew is never vague. In this desert with strong light, nothing can make people feel refreshed than refreshing cold water.
Now he can have a huge fan base and fans can run to the desert to support him, not only because of his outstanding works, but also because of careful management.
A little inconspicuous response can often make fans so excited that they can't sleep.
The crew has adjusted and the filming starts again soon.
In front of the camera, Matthew and Jason Statham stood on the golden sand, with two hard faces as rock-like as opposite each other, and under the holes in the military uniform, strong muscles were faintly exposed.
"Col. Brad!" Matthew's voice was extremely cold, "You betrayed my squad!"
Jason Statham had an expression that was always unseen on his face, and he sneered in a hoarse voice, "You can go to see your brothers now."
While speaking, he first pulled off his military uniform, exposed the black vest inside, and then pulled out a dagger from behind, posing in a close-fitting fighting position.
Matthew also untied his military uniform and threw it on the sand behind him, touching his hands behind his waist.
"I'm catching up with you because you understand..." Matthew's hand behind his waist suddenly pointed forward, "Why did you die!"
Bang bang
The gunshot sounded, Jason Statham covered his chest and looked at Matthew in confusion, "You... actually use a gun!"
Matthew was holding a black pistol in his hand, aiming the muzzle at the vital point of Jason Statham's chest.
Jason Statham fell to the ground in depressed manner, fell into the desert, and there was no more movement.
Matthew put away his pistol and turned to walk under the dunes.
"ut!" Stephen Somos stopped, "This one has passed."
Hearing the call for a stop, Matthew turned around and reached out to pull Jason Statham from the sand. Jason Statham brushed off the sand on his body and said, "It's a bit hot. If the director doesn't call for a stop, I will jump up."
Matthew said deliberately, "I still have bullets in my gun..."
On the other side, Stephen Somos raised the loudspeaker and shouted, "Each department will be reset and re-shoot in ten minutes."
Matthew returned to the resting place and hurried over to apply sweat and make-up with the makeup artist.
In such hot weather, although the face is just a very thin base makeup, the actors who sweat can't just apply it casually.
Next, the filming was about to be filmed in which he and Jason Statham fought one-on-one, but the process was completely different. Just now, the Duke solved Colonel Brad very happily with guns, but the two of them fought in close combat.
Stephen Somos designed two plans for this scene, but he has not decided which one to use so far. He simply shoots them all and makes a decision based on the overall plot during the post-recording.
The shooting of close-killing battles is not as simple as just now. An action scene was split into dozens of shots, and the longest one was only four or five seconds. Most of the shots were basically Matthew and Jason Statham each made an action, and then it was declared over.
Apart from the time of hiding from the sun at noon, the scene was filmed from morning to night, and it was finally concluded.
"start!"
With Stephen Somos' order, the shooting began again.
Matthew's camouflage vest has long turned into a rag strip, and it was torn off and thrown aside, revealing the perfect muscle lines like carvings. Jason Statham on the opposite side is also naked, and his tendon flesh is also very attractive.
Both of them had scars on their faces, but Jason Statham was even worse. Not only did they have crooked mouths and slanted noses, but blood also slowly oozed out of their eyebrows.
The battle had reached its last moment, and the dagger in their hands had long fallen to nowhere.
Just as the blood dripping from Jason Statham's eyebrow bone flowed through the corners of his eyes, Jason Statham unconsciously shoved his eyes, Matthew rushed out like a cheetah, and ran into Jason Statham like a tank. Jason Statham was hugged by him with his hands and smashed on the pre-paved green mat on the ground.
Matthew pressed the vital points of Jason Statham's throat with one hand, and clenched the other hand into a fist, punching and punching the mat next to Jason Statham's face.
"This is for John..."
"This punch is Djokav..."
He was joking and muttering, as if seeking justice for his dead teammates.
Finally, Stephen Somos' voice came over, "Okay! This one has passed! Work is over now!"
Matthew let go of his fist, took a strong breath, stood up first, and then pulled Jason Statham up.
Jason Statham looked back at the mat. Just now, a fist mark had been stamped next to his head, which looked a bit shocking.
For the shooting effect, Matthew used almost 80% of his strength.
In this scene, the Duke was full of anger, and the fists he punched were absolutely impossible to be soft.
"If you punched you wrongly," Jason Statham said, rubbing his beautiful face with lingering fear, "I'll be disfigured."
Matthew shook his head and smiled, thinking that at most it was just more like Guo Da.
He patted Jason Statham on the arm and said, "To comfort your wounded heart, I will treat you to ice beer tonight."
Jason Statham immediately laughed, "That's all."
The crew was still cleaning up the set. Matthew left first and returned to the makeup trailer to take a shower and change his clothes. Under the protection of several bodyguards, he took an off-road vehicle to return to the crew's station. He first asked someone to notify the crew's temporary catering team, and prepared cold beer for him in the evening. Then he returned to the makeup trailer. He found a few boxes of fume oil essence and cooling oil from his suitcase, and prepared to send it to Karolena Kokuva personally.
The crew members lived temporarily in the trailer, but the male and female accommodation areas were each located on the side of the camp, with hundreds of feet between them.
Matthew changed into cool clothes, put on a sun hat, and got out of the trailer. Brown Williams and several bodyguards were already waiting at the door.
The sun approached the horizon and the weather was much cooler. He walked towards Karolena Kokuva's trailer with paper bags containing whipped oil and cooling oil.
Not long after walking out, Brown Williams suddenly approached him and whispered, "There is something behind."
Matthew has always had good psychological qualities and has not looked back. Brown Williams continued to say in a very low voice, "Someone follows us. I just observed it. It should not be the one in the crew."
Just as Brown Williams came, the two bodyguards behind Matthew had approached him a little and completely covered him with their strong body.
Brown Williams said, "You turn left on the next trailer and get into the trailer and shake off the stalker's sight."
Matthew nodded slightly, and fully trusted Brown Williams in this regard, an elite veteran who has been fighting for the rest of his life in the battlefield and counter-terrorism.
