Chapter 778: Ice and Snow

Since most of the filming was completed at the beginning of filming, the crew's scenes at Warner Studios in Los Angeles were filmed for only a week, and all the interior scenes were over, and the exterior scenes were also coordinated with the Los Angeles City Hall, so the crew, led by Christopher Nolan, rushed to Calgary, Canada, to shoot the snow action scenes in the dream.

The crew chose a mountain range near Banff National Park as the location for the film, and Christopher Nolan found that there was a ski resort called Fort Mountain, which is now closed, and the unique conditions and non-public status quo are undoubtedly the ideal filming locations for the film.

However, because this is a closed scenic spot, the crew has encountered some troubles in their daily lives outside of filming.

The conditions of the hotel where the crew stayed were very ordinary, there was no heating, only a fireplace, the air conditioning model was old, the heating performance was mediocre, the temperature in the room could not rise, and the hotel with better conditions was too far away, and if you changed your accommodation, it meant that you had to waste a lot of time on the road every day.

Therefore, the crew did not change the hotel, after all, they couldn't stay here for long.

Christopher Nolan pursued live-action locations, and the scenes on the snowy mountains were a little more difficult to shoot than expected, with high altitudes, cold weather, and relatively thin air.

The actors are better, and actresses like Emma Roberts are sadder.

On the vast snowfield, Matthew drove quickly on a snowmobile, rushing towards the filming location, and Emma Roberts, who was sitting in the back, suddenly shouted, "Slow down! Slow down! It's too windy, it's cold!"

Matthew slowed down and said, "Bear with me a little longer, and it's here." ”

Emma Roberts was wrapped in a thick down winter jacket and stuck to his back, "It's too cold, how many days will it take to shoot?" ”

The cold wind was blowing, mixed with snowflakes, and Emma Roberts leaned closer and stopped talking, lest the wind get into her throat.

After walking a short distance, turning a snow-covered hill, I saw the crew of filming, Matthew gradually slowed down and leaned over.

As the crew was filming, there was some distance between them, and Matthew stopped and beckoned Emma Roberts to walk over.

In the morning, the two of them had no role, so they didn't leave the hotel at all, and rushed over after lunch.

Stepping on the thick snow, Emma Roberts faltered, simply dragged Matthew by one arm and walked forward, muttering as she walked, "Although the hotel is cold, burn the fireplace and turn on the air conditioner, you can still stay in the hotel, it's so cold outside, I've never missed the Los Angeles sun like I do now." ”

"I miss the sunshine too. Matthew opened his hand, and a snowflake fell from the sky, landed on his hand, and quickly disappeared, "Hurry up and leave this hellish place after filming." ”

Last year, when I was filming "Special Forces", the weather in Iceland was colder than that, and the problem was that the indoor conditions in Iceland were good enough, unlike now, when it was cold outside the house, it was also cold inside.

When the two of them came, they had already put on makeup in the hotel, and the down cold-proof clothing was the costume, so they didn't have to trouble in the ice and snow.

The crew is filming an action scene, and Matthew and Emma Roberts can only wait patiently.

Emma Roberts was wrapped in a thick down jacket all over her body, revealing only a pair of eyes, and talking to Matthew was sullen, "I remember that in the action design, Cobb had to roll in the snow. ”

Matthew shrugged and said, "You see that's the old version, I just saw the action director's latest design yesterday, Cobb rolled in the snow to save Adney. ”

"What?" Emma Roberts' eyes widened, "You don't want me to roll in the snow too, do you?"

"Yes. Matthew nodded.

Soon, this became a reality, Matthew and Emma Roberts came on the stage to film the scene of Daum Cobb and Adney assaulting the snow fortress, even in the dream, Adney is still just a little girl with excellent logical thinking, not a superb female man.

This is also in line with her effeminate appearance.

Coming to the top of a small slope of thirty degrees at most, Matthew looked at the height, which was only three or four meters, and in a moment he was going to roll down from here with Emma Roberts in his arms.

"We've surveyed the snow in this place and rearranged it. The action director walked over and said to Matthew, "If the snow is more than twenty inches thick, it won't be dangerous. ”

Emma Roberts followed Matthew, and when she looked at the snow all over the ground, she couldn't help but shiver, "The snow is so thick." ”

As if he hadn't heard Emma Roberts' words, the action director continued to advise, "Be careful when you roll down, don't roll off." He specifically said to Emma Roberts, "You relax your body, all the movements are led by Matthew, and with his skills, this scene is easy." ”

Emma-Roberts glanced at Matthew, who nodded at her, and she nodded too.

Although she complains, as an actor, she will not back down when it is time to go on the stage in person.

"Final check!" shouted the action director, "and shooting will begin in five minutes." ”

Matthew left Emma Roberts alone, checked the down jacket, pulled out the pistol from it, looked through it carefully, put it back in the holster inside the down jacket, and then pulled the zipper to the most suitable position for the gun.

Five minutes flew by, and with Christopher Nolan's order, filming began.

In the snow, Matthew rushed up to a white mountain bag and said to Emma Roberts, "Don't stop, go!"

Emma Roberts nodded busily with a cold red face.

Before the two of them could go down, the sound of snowmobiles sounded behind them, and five or six actors in white training uniforms, led by a snowmobile, were rushing towards this side, and some of them had automatic rifles in their hands already aimed at this side.

"Be careful!"

Matthew pounces on Emma Roberts, and the snowflakes in front of them splatter as if they had actually been shot by a bullet.

Following the set routine, Matthew rolled down the slope with Emma Roberts in his arms, and the flat snow immediately became cluttered, and the snow rolled into the hoods and collars of the two.

The distance of three meters was in an instant, and Matthew didn't care about the cold neck, pulled out his pistol and picked up Emma Roberts and ran.

Emma Roberts was born as a child star, although she is quite afraid of the cold, but she has no basic professionalism, and she doesn't care that the snow that fell into her collar is melting, she holds Matthew's hand tightly and runs forward with her legs spread.

Matthew ran out a few steps, turned around and fired, and as the gunshots rang out, the snowmobile rushing to the front suddenly lost control and plunged into the woods next to it.

But more have caught up.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out from Matthew's left, and James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender came to the rescue halfway through, taking out the remaining pursuers.

"Stop!" shouted Christopher Nolan, "this is over!

Matthew immediately got out of his role, put away the cold pistol, and shook the snowflakes off his body, and Emma Roberts did the same, but more widely.

"It's annoying. She shook her clothes and complained, "The snow is all in the clothes, it's so cold!"

Matthew deliberately squeezed his eyes at her, "Do you need me to help you get it out?"

Emma Roberts made a small face and shook her fist, "If you're not afraid, you can come and get it." ”

"Or ...... Forget it. Matthew shook his head, "I don't want to be Anne Hathaway." ”

Emma Roberts got better, and walked next to Matthew towards where the crew parked their transportation, asking as she went, "Is that nasty scene all filmed?"

Matthew knew she was talking about Anne Hathaway, "She probably won't be on the set until filming is over." ”

Emma Roberts didn't give up, "She'd better stay away when she sees me, or I'll make her look good." ”

Matthew kindly reminded, "Don't forget your aunt. ”

The reckless momentum on Emma Roberts' face dissipated instantly, and she was obviously a little afraid of Julia Roberts.

The two got on the same snowmobile again, and Emma Roberts hugged Matthew's waist tightly, and the whole person was pressed against his back again, muttering, "You're going to scare me with my aunt." ”

Matthew still reassured, "Emma, don't embarrass your aunt. ”

Emma Roberts was silent, and after a long while, she answered, "I know. ”

The last time Anne Hathaway gave up suing Emma Roberts, Matthew didn't know how Julia Roberts did it, and he must have paid a certain price.

Otherwise, Anne Hathaway can give up?

In the afternoon, the crew was filming in the ice and snow, and the foundation laying team led by Matthew was divided into three ways and firmly assaulted towards the destination, and the filming went on until about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the scattered snowflakes that had been falling in the sky gradually turned into goose feather snow, and seeing that the weather conditions became bad, Christopher Nolan simply asked the crew to call it a day early.

By the next day, the snow was still falling, and the crew had to temporarily stop work, and James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender and others made an appointment to go out to enjoy the rare snow scene.

Matthew, who had always been afraid of the cold, declined the invitation and simply hid in his room and sat by the burning fireplace to keep warm.

The air conditioner in the room is blowing a warm air, the fireplace is blazing, Matthew sits on the chaise longue, and covers it with a woolen blanket, and drinks a sip of hot tea from time to time, which feels very comfortable.

And he wasn't alone, not long after James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender left, there was a knock on the door, and then Emma Roberts, who was also afraid of the cold, walked in.

Matthew brought her another chaise longue and a woolen blanket for her, and the two sat by the hot fireplace and talked about the world, much more refreshing than watching the cold snow.
