In the shooting of commercial location scenes, most of Matthew's shots are similar to the posing shots in the studio, according to the design of director Michael Bay, as long as the people and vehicles are coordinated, it is enough to shoot cool and wild enough.
But the filming of another crew is still ongoing, and the Mercedes-Benz advertising crew can only make corresponding preparations for the time being.
Because he simply sketched the outline lines of the lower face, Matthew quickly finished his makeup, came out of the makeup trailer, and found that the people who had finished the preparations were curiously watching the filming of another crew not far from the next door.
When he first came to this wasteland, Matthew found that the crew next door must be from the San Fernando Valley, and at this time, he stood outside the crowd and looked at it, which was even more certain, and he could faintly see that the scene next door was very intense, and the battle between a strong actor and a blonde beauty was extremely fierce.
He stood next to Michael Bay, who was also curious, and looked over for a moment, feeling that the blonde beauty seemed a little familiar.
"If I had failed to turn into a film director at that time. Michael Bay pinched his long chin and joked, "Maybe I'm going to shoot this kind of film." ”
Matthew clasped his hands to his chest and said in a joking tone, "Isn't it fun to shoot this kind of film?"
Michael Bay shook his head, "If something goes wrong with the actors during filming, the director may have to go down himself." ”
"There are definitely a lot of people who aspire to this profession. Matthew laughed, "Otherwise, the San Fernando Valley wouldn't have attracted so many newcomers." ”
Michael Bay also smiled, "You don't need to go to that kind of place if you want to pick up girls." ”
"yes, we don't. Matthew understood what he meant.
In Hollywood, Michael Bay belongs to the kind of director who likes to mess around with the actresses in the film.
Just as Matthew and Michael Bay were chatting around the topic of women, the crew over there seemed to be the end of filming and began to clean up the makeshift venue.
At the end of the shooting next door, Michael Bay ended his small talk with Matthew and shouted to the crew to get ready to start filming.
Matthew handed over his phone and other items to Bella Anderson, who drove over, and went into the makeshift set alone.
Different from the shooting in the studio, the crew focused Matthew's scenes in the first half of the shoot this time, and waited until all Matthew's posing shots were filmed before shooting the stunt shots.
Two specially modified Mercedes-Benz Big Gs were also transported, one went directly into the set in the wasteland, and the other was parked nearby for standby.
Matthew stood next to the Mercedes-Benz Big G again, still with that grim expression, and a cameraman came over with a camera to take pictures, this time shooting a full range of commercials, in addition to TV and online videos, there are also flat photos.
Following the instructions of the cameraman, Matthew cooperated in various poses.
The shooting of his footage was fast and smooth, the crew of the San Fernando Valley has not been cleaned up, and Matthew has finished filming here.
The rest of the scenes in the difficult motorsports will be done by stuntmen.
Matthew walked out of the set, approached Michael Bay, and asked, "Is there anything else, Michael? ”
"It's gone. Michael Bay probably had a good impression of him, and added, "Have time to go out for a drink and talk together." ”
As a purely commercial director, he also likes to use actors with high commercial value.
Matthew, of course, won't refuse, "No problem, you can call me anytime." ”
After chatting with Michael Bay, Matthew specifically approached the advertising director of Mercedes-Benz to say a few words, and he is very good at this kind of thing.
Subsequently, Matthew returned to the makeup trailer, but in about ten minutes, he removed his makeup and changed back into his clothes, and walked alone to the side of the road with his pockets, Bella Anderson drove over this morning, and he didn't need the crew to send someone to deliver it.
Seeing Matthew coming, Bella Anderson handed him Matthew's cell phone and said, "Miss Herman called, let me tell you that David Ellison has just signed a formal rights agreement with Frank Miller on behalf of Sky Dance Films. ”
Matthew took the phone, nodded, and was just about to get into the car when a blonde woman flashed out from behind the black Mercedes SUV.
She looked at Matthew and said, "It's really you!"
The woman was dressed in a slim-fitting denim outfit with thick smoky makeup painted on her face, and she looked unusually glamorous.
Bella Anderson recognized this woman, the heroine who had just been filmed by the crew next door, and she quickly stepped forward and stopped the blonde woman.
"Don't you know me?" The blonde woman looked at Matthew and pointed to the crew, "I just saw that you were quite familiar, so I wanted to come and have a look, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”
Matthew waved at Bella Anderson, who stepped aside and let the blonde woman walk towards Matthew.
"Hello, Miss Drake. Matthew, of course, recognized who she was, "It's a pleasure to see you again." ”
Jessica Drake approached Matthew and said, "I didn't expect to see you here. She looked up at Matthew, "It's amazing, you've really become a big Hollywood star." ”
Matthew smiled, "I didn't expect to succeed in Hollywood either." ”
Jessica Drake gradually recovered from her surprise and said with a smile, "I almost worked with a big Hollywood star. ”
Matthew didn't talk about this anymore and said, "I'll talk about it another day, I still have something to do, it's time to go." ”
The tabloid newspaper had previously hyped up the news that he had almost strayed into the San Fernando Valley, but instead of damaging his reputation, it became an inspirational model for many.
Even if someone wants to make a fuss about it, without photos and videos, what is written has no credibility at all.
"I'm going to leave so soon. Jessica Drake suddenly took a step closer, took out a card from her pocket, stuffed it into Matthew, and said in a low voice, "It's my phone number, if you need it, I'm on call, if you want to find a few more people, I can also help you get in touch." ”
Matthew, of course, understood what Jessica Drake meant, flipped through the card and glanced at it, and it was a mobile phone number.
"I hope we can meet again. Jessica Drake said goodbye and left, "Goodbye, Matthew Horner." ”
"Goodbye, Jessica. Matthew nodded at her.
Bella Anderson didn't say a word from start to finish, watched Jessica Drake leave, went to the driver's seat, got in the car and started the Mercedes SUV.
The back seat of the Mercedes Big G was not comfortable, and Matthew got into the co-pilot and said, "Go to Burbank's office." ”
Bella Anderson stepped on the gas pedal and the dirt bike drove off the wasteland and onto an asphalt road that led to the interstate.
While driving, she peeked at the car, and Matthew opened the locker in front of the co-pilot, pulled out a business card holder, and put away the card Jessica Drexey had given him.
Bella Anderson knows very well what this means, and can only be regarded as not seeing, in recent times, she has received a lot of tips from her sister Carla, and knows that many celebrities have bad habits, and as a personal assistant, it is better to turn a blind eye.
But as an adult, she also has her own ideas, and Matthew is obviously dating Charlize Theron, who is said to have seen the house together twice, and now accepts Jessica Drake's card......
Bella Anderson hurried to stop, these things are not for her to take care of.
According to her sister Carla, although Matthew is a bit flowery, he is much better than most male stars in the circle.
From what she has observed since she became Matthew's personal assistant, apart from Charlize Theron, Matthew does not seem to have an improper relationship with other women.
The black Mercedes SUV crossed the San Fernando Valley and soon came to Burbank, where it stopped under an office building, and Matthew took Bella Anderson back to the office and dialed Helen Herman's number again, and Helen Herman's cell phone was unanswered as it had been on the road.
Matthew reckoned that Helen Herman should have been busy, didn't continue to call, sat behind his desk, and waited with peace of mind.
"Bella ......" took advantage of this time to ask Bella Anderson, "How's the connection with the fan organization?"
"I've been in touch with the initiators of your fan organization in several big cities like Los Angeles and New York. Bella Anderson took out her work diary and said as she flipped through it, "At present, most of your fan organizations are in a loose state of spontaneous formation, lacking effective organization. ”
Matthew tapped lightly on his desk and admonished, "When Helen comes back, you go see her, she has always wanted to meddle in the fan organization." ”
"Hmm. Bella Anderson answered, "I made a note of it." ”
At this time, Matthew's cell phone rang, he picked it up and looked at it, it was Helen Herman's number, and after connecting it, he said that it was not long before hanging up again.
Helen Herman told him on the phone that she had just completed her official signing with Frank Miller, and she, David Ellison, Zack Schneider and Frank Miller and his agent had a drink to celebrate the partnership formalization.
In addition, she will return to Los Angeles tomorrow to assist Zack Schneider and David Ellison in the work of "The Three Hundred Spartans" such as writing the script and contacting the distribution company, as well as meeting with Aziva Gossman to discuss Matthew and Charlize Theron about the next promotion of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."
It's late April, and the North American release date of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is getting closer, and the crew needs a large-scale and sensational enough publicity campaign to get a good box office result against a crowd of tough competitors in May.
The work that caused the sensation in this area ultimately fell to Matthew and Charlize Theron.
