Chapter 779: Warmth on the inside is really warmth
Sitting on the recliner and wrapping the woolen blanket tightly around her body, Emma Roberts chatted with Matthew for a while, and suddenly asked curiously, "I heard many people in the crew say that you often ask Christopher Nolan for advice, is this preparing to be a director in the future and make your own films?"
"It's not. Matthew shook his head, "With my current level, without more than ten or twenty years of accumulation, I guess I can't be a director." ”
He wrapped the woolen blanket tightly on his body, "If I am a director, who will invest in me?"
In other words, it is absolutely impossible for him to invest in his own director's works, and at his level, if he directs a film, it will definitely be super big.
Emma Roberts deliberately joked, "I thought that if you were the director, I could be the heroine for you." ”
Matthew raised his finger and shook it, "Forget it, director, I'm learning some common sense about the director's filming and production." He reminded, "Emma, have you forgotten? I've invested in several films, and I've been a producer on several projects at the same time, so I always have to have some basic understanding. ”
"yes. Emma Roberts seems to know something about this, "When my aunt first transitioned into a producer, she used to read books all day and ask people everywhere. ”
She recalled for a moment, and then said, "It seems that the first few films that my aunt invested in have just recovered their costs, unlike you, who invest in one to make money." ”
Matthew still said, "I'm just lucky." ”
Emma Roberts blinked and said, "Matthew, can I ask you a question." ”
"Say it. Matthew certainly doesn't answer the kind of question he doesn't want to answer.
"How much money do you have now?" Emma Roberts, who is only nineteen years old, is curious, "and they all say you're a billionaire." ”
Matthew thought for a moment, found a suitable answer, and said, "If you count those things like stocks, it's barely right." ”
Emma Roberts was dissatisfied, "What do you mean by reluctantly, Forbes said last year that you have at least $500 million in assets." ”
"Don't you know?" Matthew spread his hands helplessly, "You, you know and ask." ”
Emma Roberts wrinkled her nose, "I'll see if you're an honest person." ”
"And now?" Matthew asked rhetorically.
"You like to play tricks. Emma Roberts snorted, tightened the blanket on her body again, and shivered, "You heat the fireplace a little, it's too cold." “
She looked up at the air conditioner, "If I hadn't stayed for a few days and left, I would have thought I would have paid for the air conditioner in my room." ”
Matthew stood up and looked at the air conditioner first, only to hear the hum of the compressor, but not to blow much heater, the heating effect is really poor, he didn't expect this old broken air conditioner, and added some firewood to the fireplace to make the fire burn more vigorously.
Probably because of the cooling on the mountain in the past two days, today is obviously colder than yesterday.
Emma Roberts was curled up in a chaise longue and shivering with a woolen blanket, and Matthew was no better, estimated to be five or six degrees in the room.
And it's completely different from the low temperatures in Los Angeles, where the low temperatures feel colder even more.
"I'll definitely complain about this hostel when I go back. Emma Roberts took a sip of her coffee cup, the still hot coffee made her feel a little more comfortable, and Matthew sighed, "It's all about shaking." ”
Emma Roberts put down her coffee cup and muttered, "No, it's still cold." She lifted the wool blanket to reveal the warm clothes she was wearing, which accentuated her petite body, "I'm going to cover your quilt." ”
With that, she walked towards the bed.
Looking at Emma Roberts, Matthew suddenly felt a little warmer, what could warm a person's body better than a fiery girl?
So, he followed and said, "Emma, it would be better to exercise." ”
Emma Roberts turned around and looked at Matthew, not quite understanding what he meant, and asked, "What's the movement in the room?" ”
Matthew stepped forward and came to Emma Roberts, staring at Emma Roberts with a pair of fiery eyes, seeing that she didn't dodge, he leaned into her ear and said a few words in a low voice.
Emma Roberts bit her lip and asked, "Are you sure it works?"
"It must be habitual! It's really warm inside. Matthew reached out and wrapped his arms around her, "We'll be warm up soon." ”
Hearing this, Emma Roberts suddenly jumped up, Matthew hurriedly hugged her, Emma Roberts hooked his neck with both hands, and hung on Matthew like this.
Fortunately, she is petite, and Matthew has enough strength to not feel strained.
Emma Roberts suddenly bit Matthew's ear, and before Matthew could scream in pain, he whispered in his ear, "I'm lazy and don't want to move, so I'll leave the job of heating to you." She raised her voice and warned, "I want you to hold me the whole time, if you dare to let me land, I will fight with you when I turn around!"
Matthew laughed, "It's a little hard, but it's easy for me. ”
"Wait!" Emma Roberts called out to Matthew's moving hand and said solemnly, "It's just a heating need, don't think too much about it!"
Matthew looked serious, "Aren't we just here to keep warm?"
Soon, the two slick guys warmed up.
Filming in Calgary, Canada, lasted another three days before the snow action was completed, and the crew then spent another five days in Japan, filming the Shinkansen and some of the Tokyo locations, before returning to Los Angeles to shoot the last remaining scenes.
Although filming in many countries, the crew's progress far exceeded the plan, and by June 10, there were not many scenes left.
At this time, the crew moved to Los Angeles International Airport for filming, which was also Matthew's last scene as the male lead actor Damm Cobb.
The crew borrowed a Boeing 747 airliner that the airline was overhauling and put the scene in first class.
"Let's go!"
Christopher Nolan gave the order and the shooting kicked off, and the main camera first gave Matthew a close-up, he opened his eyes and looked around with a little dazed and frightened.
A flight attendant walked over at this time, perhaps seeing that Matthew was a little confused, or maybe for some other reason, and reminded in a low voice, "We will arrive in Los Angeles in twenty minutes, do you need an entry form?"
Matthew looked at her blankly, and it took a few seconds before he came to his senses and whispered, "Thanks, I need one." ”
After saying that, he noticed that everyone else in the first class was looking to his side, and quickly looked around, there were not many people in the first class cabin, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Emma Roberts, Ken Watanabe, and Cillian Murphy......
When Matthew's gaze swept over the faces of James McAvoy and Emma Roberts, the two of them smiled at him one after the other, and then Ken Watanabe picked up the phone and dialed, seemingly contacting the company's business.
After looking at it, Matthew withdrew his gaze and looked out the window, as if he had seen a child dreaming of Chaosi.
There was silence in the first-class cabin until an announcement sounded.
"Dear passengers, this flight is about to arrive in Los Angeles, and the landing place is Los Angeles International Airport......"
When the broadcast stopped, Christopher Nolan immediately said, "Stop!
Hearing the camera pass, Ma Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief and stood up from his seat, this was his last scene in the crew of "Inception", although the crew will shoot for a week, but after today, he will officially leave the crew.
With Christopher Nolan's pursuit of live-action shooting style, the likelihood of needing actors' voices in the later stage is also very low.
Matthew walked over to the director's seat first, hugged Christopher Nolan, and said, "Chris, it's a great honor to work with you. ”
"I can work with you. Christopher Nolan said seriously, "I'm also very honored. ”
hugged Christopher Nolan, Matthew hugged James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Emma Roberts, Ken Watanabe, and Cillian Murphy and others, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender are old friends and comrades, and there is no need to say kind words.
With several other people, Matthew was polite and polite and thanked a few words.
In terms of the crew's conduct in the world, he has always had a good reputation.
As she hugged Emma Roberts, Matthew leaned into her ear and whispered, "Is it still cold?" ”
Emma Roberts replied softly, "I'll go to you when I'm cold." ”
Before leaving the crew, Matthew got the spinning top used by Daum Cobb from Christopher Nolan, which was also a memento specially prepared for him by the crew.
That night, Matthew received a call from Emma Roberts, and then left Beverly Hills and rushed to Emma Roberts' residence in Santa Monica to help warm up Emma Roberts, who was shivering with cold.
After Canada, Emma Roberts and Matthew both understood a truth, the warm inside is really warm.
Matthew then took a two-day break to pay attention to the box office situation of "Fast and Furious 4", which had cooled down in North America, losing the weekend box office champion in its third week of release, and was replaced by Pixar's "Flying House", which was a huge hit at the same time as the word-of-mouth and box office.
It just so happened that he was free, and he also accompanied Emma Roberts to the theater to see it, and the first ten minutes of this film can be called the strongest opening of an animated film.
Strong emotional impact, even people like Matthew are a little moved.
The opening weekend box office of more than $68 million was also well deserved.
It's now mid-June, and "Fast and Furious 4" has spent four weekends in North America, with a total of $272.15 million at the North American box office, and it is a foregone conclusion that the total North American box office will exceed $300 million.
Overseas, the one-month screening time limit for this film on the other side of the Pacific Ocean expired, and it was officially removed from theaters, and the final box office was 542.58 million RMB.
Including other markets, the overseas box office totaled $285.6 million.
The "Fast and Furious" series is resurrected!
While keeping an eye on his own films, Matthew did not forget Natalie Portman's invitation to attend the premiere of "Cloud Atlas".
