Chapter 557: Lubricating Oil
"Why are you here?"
Sitting in Scarlett Johansson's dressing room, Matthew looked at Scarlett Johansson, who was being put on makeup by a female makeup artist, "Don't tell me I'm just here for a cameo." ”
Seeing the makeup artist start working on Scarlett Johansson's red curls, he actually had a guess.
Scarlett Johansson didn't look back, saying, "Have you seen Marvel Comics? I'm going to play Agent Natasha Normaneuf in this movie." ”
Matthew, of course, knew who it was, and said, "Black Widow." ”
"yes. Scarlett Johansson took advantage of the makeup artist to get something, glanced back at Matthew, and said, "Aren't you a producer?
Matthew propped up his chin with one hand and said, "I, the producer, am more of a nominal person, and I rarely care about the specific affairs of the crew, and I have been busy with other things some time ago and have not paid attention to this side." ”
Scarlett Johansson continued to let the makeup artist take care of her hair, "I know, you fought with Vin Diesel for the rights to the Fast & Furious series, I've seen that bald head a few times, it's really disgusting. ”
Hearing her say this, Matthew found that most people in the circle didn't like Vin Diesel's bald head very much.
"I didn't expect that. He pulled back the crooked topic, "You'll be in this crew now." ”
Could he be mistaken, didn't Black Widow appear in Marvel superhero movies from "Iron Man 2"? Or did he bring about some butterfly-like changes because he got a kick?
Scarlett Johansson heard this, a little strange, and asked, "I'm not fit for the role of Black Widow?"
"It's not. Of course, Matthew couldn't tell what he really meant, so he casually said, "Aren't you the goddess of literature and art?
Scarlett-Johansson's tone was a little weird, "The goddess of literature and art? She said directly, "Do you know the real situation of my years when I made independent literary films? I went to walk the red carpet, and I couldn't even scrape together the money to rent dresses, jewelry, and cars, and finally had to go to the bank for a loan. ”
Matthew has also heard that many actors who are mixed in the independent film industry and have a certain reputation are actually not having a good time.
"It seems to be very famous, but the benefits are very limited. Scarlett Johansson also seemed a little helpless, "Who doesn't want a luxurious life? Who doesn't want luxury cars and top luxury goods? After filming "Lost in Translation", I realized that I didn't have a certain material foundation to go to the independent literary circle, which was simply practicing myself, so I jumped out and filmed "Escape from Clone Island". ”
The makeup artist finished taking care of her hair at this time, she stood up and turned to Matthew's side, "As you can see, my transformation failed, and my future is almost over, this time for Black Widow, in order to get the role, I only need a salary of 200,000 US dollars, and sign three film contracts at one time, I hope the film you invested in can be successful, if it fails, ......"
Scarlett Johansson walked over to Matthew's side and stood in front of the huge dressing mirror, "I'll move to your manor when I get there, and I'll not leave." ”
The makeup artist and two assistants came over with black tight-fitting suits at this time, and Matthew did not shy away from them, and directly invited Scarlett Johansson, "Why don't you finish shooting the makeup poster and go back with me tonight." ”
"It's time to change your clothes, Miss Johnson. The makeup artist reminded at this time.
"Hmm. Scarlett Johansson answered.
Matthew was self-conscious, stood up and said, "I'll go out first and talk to Kevin Feige for a while." ”
"No need. Scarlett Johansson generously took off her top and said while taking off other clothes, "Come and chat with me here, I've been seen by you a long time ago, it's okay to watch it again." ”
Matthew was not pretentious, sat back down, tilted his head to look at Scarlett Johansson who had taken off his clothes, and said, "You're fatter than before, Scarlett." ”
"I know. Scarlett Johansson took off her last clothes, "I'm working out." ”
She took the special underwear handed over by the makeup artist, and two female makeup assistants walked up to her, one spraying Scarlett Johansson with an essential oil-like liquid, and the other smearing it all over her body with her hands, especially Scarlett Johansson's most bulging breasts and buttocks.
Matthew met for the first time and was curious, "What is this going to do?"
Scarlett Johansson twitched her finger at the superhero tight-fitting suit that the makeup artist was arranging and said, "That thing is too snug, it can't be worn under normal circumstances, and if you want to wear it, you have to apply special lube beforehand." ”
"No wonder every superhero is in such good shape. Matthew looked at Black Widow's tight black suit and asked, "Are other superheroes like that?"
Scarlett Johansson shook her head, "I don't know" she asked the makeup artist next to her, "Claudia, is that so?"
Claudia, a senior female makeup artist in Hollywood, replied directly, "Basically, superhero actors who wear tights wear close-fitting suits in this way, Superman and Batman are like this, and the lubricant is not only good for wearing the suit, but also protects the skin during activities." ”
Matthew asked Scarlett Johansson, who was covered in oil, "How do you feel?"
"Like a mouse that has fallen into butter. Scarlett Johansson seemed to be in pain, "Greasy and uncomfortable to death." ”
Even more uncomfortable was to come, even though the body was covered in lube and it was very difficult to wear a black close-fitting suit, two makeup assistants and a makeup artist worked together, and it took a lot of effort to put the clothes on Scarlett Johansson.
The makeup artist carefully wiped off the lube on the outside of the clothes to help Scarlett Johansson, but the inside of the clothes could only continue to be in close contact with the skin.
This feeling is not comfortable at all, and the design is too tight, making it a little difficult for Scarlett Johansson to breathe.
"People who fight in tights. Scarlett Johansson poured bitterness on Matthew, "They must all be idiots and idiots." ”
Matthew shrugged and gloated, "I made the right decision not to take on the role of a superhero!"
Scarlett Johansson got used to it for about ten minutes, and finally felt a little better, so she left the dressing room with Matthew and went to a small studio surrounded by green screens to shoot the makeup poster for the role of Black Widow.
Matthew saw Kevin Feige in the studio and walked over and asked, "Black Widow is here in this one?"
"You don't know?" said Kevin Feige, looking surprised, "I sent the script to your email last month. ”
"I haven't looked at my mailbox for a long time and ignored it. Matthew smiled sheepishly.
Kevin Feige simply said, "Natasha Normanov will appear next to Tony Stark as a S.H.I.E.L.D. spy, and in the final battle, Tony Stark is responsible for dealing with the Iron Overlord, and Natasha Normanoff will take out the mercenaries under the Iron Overlord." ”
Matthew nodded and didn't say much, these people at Marvel know much more about the Marvel Universe than he does. His little knowledge of Marvel only comes from the Marvel superhero movies he has watched, and the comics are far more complex than the movies.
He is not worried that Marvel will not do his best in this film, Marvel can't afford to lose more than him, if "Iron Man" loses at the box office, he will lose a lot of money, Marvel will be in danger of bankruptcy, and it will be difficult to get involved in film production for more than ten years.
In that case, it may be difficult for Baby Di to be interested in Marvel Comics.
All the glory of the Marvel superhero series of movies actually comes from the fact that "Iron Man" created a very successful start.
It's a pity that DC is still focusing on "The Dark Knight", and has invested great enthusiasm in Zack Snyder's adaptation of "Watchmen", but has no plans to plan the Justice League for the time being.
If Marvel's Avengers and DC's Justice League can go hand in hand, and finally have an Avengers vs. Justice League, maybe it will be very interesting, right?
But Matthew will not be stupid enough to remind Warner Bros. that his tens of millions of dollars of funds have been thrown on Marvel's side, and many movies in the future have investment rights, and the ass will definitely sit with Marvel for the time being, and before the superhero movie completely dominates the screen, the emergence of another strong competitor is not a good thing.
Christopher Nolan is about to use The Dark Knight to shape the greatest moment of glory in DC superhero movies, but he'll also take the entire DC franchise into an alley full of darkness.
The problem is that, as David Heyman and Aziwa Gosman have said, Warner Bros. executives have a tradition of reaching out and intervening directly in the film.
It's certainly not a good thing to give directors and producers too much power, but it's definitely a bad thing to reach out and interfere with creation.
Matthew waited until Scarlett Johansson finished shooting the makeup poster, and then took a family portrait poster with makeup with Kevin Feige and all the actors who wore makeup, and then pulled Scarlett Johansson out of the Hughes aircraft factory with him.
Both of them are adults, and they have done it more than once before, and since everyone is willing, they are naturally ready to spend the night together.
But back at Horner Manor, Scarlett Johansson left Matthew alone and went into the bathroom alone, Matthew waited outside for more than half an hour and didn't see her come out, and finally broke into the bathroom directly, Scarlett Johansson was still washing her body again and again, as if the lubricated oil could never be washed clean.
In the end, it was Matthew who helped Scarlett Johansson wash up and down, inside and out.
I have to say that the young Black Widow was quite good in everything except for a slightly shorter leg, but it's a pity that Scarlett Johansson only stayed in Los Angeles for three days before returning to New York.
Matthew also ended this carefree life, and with Guillermo del Toro discharged from the hospital, the crew of "I Am Legend" regrouped for filming.
(I watched an interview with Marvel, and several of the leading actors said that the most annoying thing was to wear a tight suit and apply lube.) )
