Chapter 343: Sending You to Death (Ask for Subscription)
Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
Surrounded by a green screen in the studio, an all-black Mercedes-Benz Big G is parked in the center of the field, and Michael Bay is standing next to the SUV, telling a puzzled Matthew.
"You don't have to worry about anything else!" Michael Bay patted the driver's door and said, "As soon as I shout start, you push the door and get out of the car, remember!
As he spoke, he also made a graphic gesture of jumping, "You close the car door with your hand......"
Michael Bay took the initiative to turn around and beckoned Matthew, "You do it with me now!"
Matthew nodded, "No problem." ”
"Close the door and you're on your way. Michael Beyer drove his two long lanky legs and ran forward, followed by Matthew, who turned his head to look at Matthew and continued, "Watch where you run, don't block the front of the car and the body. ”
He ran five or six meters and stopped, followed by Matthew.
Michael Bay asked again, "Got it?"
"Totally understood. Matthew just understood the scene, but he didn't understand what Michael Bay's commercial was going to shoot.
This commercial director, who likes to fall apart, did not shoot according to that page of the script at all, and after the filming began, all the scenes came from his on-site commentary, and Mercedes-Benz's advertising director specifically told him to do it according to Michael Bay's instructions before filming began.
Matthew took Mercedes-Benz's advertising endorsement fee, and within a reasonable range, he would naturally cooperate, so he doubted that he was still following Michael Bay's rhythm.
Michael Bay was back behind the camera, and Matthew came to the car, pulled the door and got into the driver's seat of the Mercedes Big G, waiting for the filming to begin.
Half a minute later, Michael Bay's voice came, "Go!"
This sentence was like an order to charge, Matthew looked cold, pushed the car door open, jumped out of the car, and ran forward at a speed of 100 meters sprint.
But in just a few seconds, Michael Bay's voice came shouting to stop, "Card!"
Matthew stopped, his face not red or out of breath, and turned his head to look at Michael Bay, who made an "OK" gesture and said loudly, "It's over!"
Since Michael Bay asked Matthew to keep his face cold throughout the whole process to highlight the tough lines of the facial contours, the performance in the shoot was basically not difficult at all.
"Fifteen minutes off!" Michael Bay's voice rang out again, "Stuntman get ready!"
In the next scene, there will be a shot of the car moving, and in the contract negotiated by Helen Herman before, it is clearly stipulated that any scene involving driving in the advertising must use stuntmen.
Matthew has no problem with this, his driving skills are at the upper average level among ordinary people, and he can't complete the exaggerated stunts in the advertisement, and this is not the action scene shooting he is good at, and the risk of injury is greater.
Mercedes-Benz prepared a stunt double early on.
When it was okay to take a break, Matthew came to Michael Bay's director's monitor, pointed to it, and asked tentatively, "Is that okay?"
"Absolutely. ”
This is not a film shoot, and Michael Bay has no intention of refusing, "Come and see." ”
Matthew walked around to the place directly facing the monitor, stood behind Michael Bay with his hands on his chest, and looked at the footage he had just taken.
That shot was only a few seconds, and there was nothing to see except for the car and the people on a green screen.
"Now I finally understand...... "Michael Bay said suddenly, "why Jerry Bruckheimer likes to use you." ”
Matthew scratched his head in confusion.
Michael Bay added, "Matthew, you're born for action shots!"
"You're too famous. Matthew hurriedly waved his hand, "Michael, a lot of my performances are actually imitations of those classic shots from your movies. ”
No matter what others say, he always thinks that "Death Island" is a classic among action movies, and even in all genres of films, it is definitely a classic.
"I've been shooting commercials with you for most of the day. Michael Bay's words were very jumpy, "I regret it a little, why didn't you insist on it last year and let you be the leading actor of "Escape from Clone Island"?"
"Uh......" Matthew didn't know what to say, hesitated for two seconds, and said with a smile, "There will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”
Michael Bay nodded, "Well, there will be a chance." ”
Matthew didn't speak anymore and watched Michael Bay busy here, "Escape from Clone Island" is Michael Bay's first film after leaving Jerry Bruckheimer, and he also serves as a producer and director, and it is said that the film was shot and produced exactly according to his intentions, and I don't know if it will be a success.
In terms of his own experience of watching Michael Bay's films, Michael Bay is very talented and has a very good grasp of the commercial entertainment elements in the films, but the shortcomings are also obvious, he does not know moderation.
In a lot of Michael Bay's movies, where you should explode, you will explode where you shouldn't.
Also, Michael Bay always likes to add a lot of vulgar elements to the film, and sometimes he will spoof it too much.
For example, he once watched "Transformers 2", and even now he remembers that when Hercules dismantled the pyramid, two huge steel balls fell below......
It's speechless, and it doesn't feel like something that a Hollywood A-list commercial director can do.
Thinking of Transformers, Matthew remembered the only real toy he had when he was a child, the Optimus Prime model that others had thrown away.
At that time, I watched "Transformers 2", and I felt that all the good memories of my childhood were destroyed, especially Optimus Prime, where is there a little bit like an Autobot leader?
Michael Bay's photographed Optimus Prime, one has no leadership frame, two has no leadership brain, dirty work is done alone, eating, drinking, and Lazar are grabbed, life and death are fought on it, and ideological work is done, and after he died, he didn't even have a funeral, and he was thrown twice from the air as scrap metal.
Later, he was just resurrected, and before he could take a breath of the oxygen tank, and before he could do the recovery training, he was called by the male pig's foot "Stand. Up!stand0 up!", the other Autobots jumped up and down happily charging it, thinking that the stupid big one is back again, send you to death, the black pot human back......
It's a pity that some time ago he consulted Hasbro that the movie rights of Transformers have long been in the hands of DreamWorks, and if there are no major accidents, Steven Spielberg will still find Michael Bay to shoot.
Matthew shook his head, he is a star actor, and now he is not even a first-line actor, he can't manage this kind of thing at all, and he can't interfere.
The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and Michael Bay's filming resumed, but Matthew didn't have to go on stage, sitting in a safe place and watching the stuntmen perform their car tricks.
The few remaining scenes in the studio were mostly stunt doubles filming, and he was watching.
This commercial shoot is definitely the most relaxed and freehand in Matthew's career so far, firstly, there is no need to make all kinds of complicated expressions, as long as the face is tense, and secondly, the most difficult action shot is the 100-meter sprint just now.
There is also a scene where the Mercedes G bursts out of the green screen, and Michael Bey asks the cameraman to press the camera lens to the front of the car and shoot it from the angle directly facing the car.
After filming, Matthew went to take a look, and even without adding post-production special effects, the footage shot by Michael Bay was very visually striking.
Michael Bay seems to be particularly good at shooting shots like this.
After all the stunt shooting, Matthew took the stage again, this time in a static scene, standing on the roof of the Mercedes Big G, looking straight ahead with a grim face.
There are several similar still shots, and it is not difficult to shoot, Matthew did not appear once, and Michael Bay shouted to stop filming several times, all because of the crew equipment and shooting angles.
Filming at Disney Studios went so well that Michael Bay called it a day at 4 p.m. and told the cast and crew to gather here early the next morning to shoot a location in a wasteland north of the San Fernando Valley.
Matthew took off his makeup, took a battery car to the door of the studio, changed into a Mercedes-Benz big G, and left the Disney studio.
As soon as he turned onto Nanbo Great Street in front of the studio, he noticed that there were paparazzi following him, and he didn't deliberately shake them off, and drove directly to Charlize Theron's house, where he stayed overnight.
Since the two were officially announced on the red carpet at the Oscars, Matthew and Charlize Theron have often stayed at each other's homes, and as long as the time is right, they will also show their affection in public in order to maintain a certain degree of topicality.
The next day, before the sun had climbed the horizon, Matthew broke free from Charlize Theron's hands and legs, rushed to the Disney studios, and arrived at the meeting point five minutes early.
Although over the past year or so, he has become more and more famous, and sometimes he is also very high-profile, but in any crew, as long as his interests are not touched, he can be called a good actor who loves his job and dedication.
It is no exaggeration to say that Matthew's professionalism is well-known in the circle.
The crew assembled on time, Matthew changed to a highly comfortable MPV car provided by Mercedes-Benz, got in the car and began to make up for sleep, I didn't sleep well last night, with a woman like Charlize Theron by my side, I'm afraid few men will waste time sleeping.
This night, Matthew slept very sweetly, and had a dream, dreaming that he was standing in front of the hot springs, waving a short sword and shield to kill all directions, and the American GIs who rushed over were beaten by him to cry wolf, and one by one ran back to ask the Autobots and Optimus Prime to come over to help, Optimus Prime deserved to be the number one robot traitor and the loyal dog leg of the United States, and he wanted to fight him for 300 rounds when he came up.
Just as the war was about to start, Matthew was woken up, and when he got out of the car, he found that it was not only their crew filming here, but also a crew from the San Fernando Valley.
