"Bang dang!"

A loud noise echoed throughout the studio, and Matthew pulled down a heavy, thick iron gate from above the window, then bolted it to another window, and pulled it hard in the light of the setting sun.

"Bang dang!"

The sound of metal clashing sounded again, cutting off the world outside the window, and Matthew turned around and walked back, pulled the third iron gate, then picked up an M4A1 from his desk and headed for the stairs.

"Wang-"

The barking of the German shepherd sounded, and Karl, under the command of the handler, ran out of the room and followed Matthew.

Turning out the door, Matthew still looked lonely, as if the sunset had taken all his energy away.

No sooner had he come out of the room than director Guillermo del Toro shouted, "OK!

He then commanded, "Number two, prepare for the bathtub scene!"

With that, Guillermo del Toro gave Matthew a thumbs up, and Matthew nodded lightly to him, turned and walked into the bathroom.

Today is the first day of filming, and Guillermo del Toro plans to shoot solitary scenes without lines, which are relatively not very difficult, obviously to make Matthew find feeling and state.

Matthew feels good about himself, he has been adjusting his mentality for more than a week recently, from 1999 to now, he is also an experienced old actor, not to mention how good his acting skills are, but they are not very bad.

Entering the bathroom, Matthew came to the bathtub with an automatic rifle, the trainer and the German shepherd named Carl were crouching next to the bathtub, not knowing what to mutter, he walked over and patted Carl's head gently, Carl barked, as if in response.

"Carl!" the trainer gestured to the tub.

The German Shepherd immediately jumped in and, after a gesture from the trainer, lay down in the bathtub.

Matthew didn't say anything, but also got into the tub and lay down next to Carl, who, unlike Carl, curled up and held the M4A1 automatic rifle as if he felt safe.

Carl stood up suddenly, and a pair of dog's eyes turned to Matthew's side, which seemed to be still vigilant.

Matthew sat up abruptly and stared at the German Shepherd with more vigilant eyes, with his perennial training skills, if the German Shepherd dared to open his mouth to attack, he could kick the dog away with one kick, even if he was sitting.

He doesn't care if this is an acting partner or not, no matter what kind of dog it is, if he dares to open his mouth to bite him, he dares to break its dog legs.

The handler immediately came over and gently stroked the German Shepherd's neck, "Carl, relax...... Relaxing......"

Matthew stood up, took the lead out of the bathtub, and lay in the bathtub with a dog, which is the most basic professionalism as an actor, but it is better for professionals to do this kind of thing to appease the dog.

He didn't know why, Karl, who had been friendly with him before, suddenly became hostile.

The trainer was still reassuring the German Shepherd, but Matthew didn't want to continue to lie down with the dog so closely, if he was lying in the bathtub during the shooting, no matter how fast he reacted, the Shepherd would not be able to avoid it if he suddenly bit him.

Just as director Guillermo del Toro walked into the bathroom, Matthew beckoned to him, and Guillermo del Toro walked over with a slightly obese body.

"Jill. Matthew pointed to the other side of the tub and said, "Something is wrong." ”

Guillermo del Toro glanced over there and asked, "Dogs?"

Matthew felt that the side of his nose was very itchy, wiped it lightly, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it, and found that it was with dog hair, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "I remember that you made a batch of prop dogs based on Carl's appearance?

As the number one name in the crew, it is not too much to make this kind of request, but Matthew still pays more attention to his tone and attitude.

He gets along well with Guillermo del Toro, and Guillermo del Toro doesn't have the same opinion of him as Francis Lawrence, and it's good to show mutual respect between the two sides.

Guillermo del Toro didn't even think about it, and said directly to the assistant director who followed him, "Let the shepherd dog temporarily retreat and replace it with a prop dog." ”

The crew had a request, of course the trainer had no opinion, and soon led the German shepherd out of the set, and a prop master brought in a prop dog that was almost the same as the real one, this dog is not only lifelike, but also has limbs and joints that can move, and it is not a problem to adjust to a real dog-like sleeping position at all.

Matthew returned to the bathtub and lay down next to the prop dog with an automatic rifle, and determined one thing, in the future, it would be better to use the prop dog for similar direct contact scenes, which would be good for himself and the dog.

In case the dog behaved more than he did today, and he couldn't help but break the dog's neck for a while, it would be more troublesome.

There is no need to doubt the level of prop production in Hollywood, "Jurassic Park", which was filmed in the early 90s, all the dinosaurs were filmed in the form of prop models, and then properly retouched through computer post-production technology, and the prop special effects are not outdated at all even if they are put to the present.

That's the level of props from more than a decade ago.

"Matthew......" Guillermo del Toro's voice came over as a question, "is it okay?"

was brewing emotions, Matthew didn't speak, raised his hand and made a gesture to the outside of the bathtub, and immediately an assistant director said, "I Am Legend, Act I, Scene II, Begin!"

Matthew curled up in the bathtub, unlike just now, holding the gun and the prop dog at the same time, as if he was asleep, but he looked very insecure, and the muscles between his eyebrows trembled slightly under the long-term practice of muscle control skills, as if he was having a nightmare.

The shot doesn't need to be too long, and director Guillermo del Toro just wanted to shout through, but Matthew suddenly sat up and sneezed three times in a row.

Then, he shook his head at the outside of the tub, "It's okay, there's a dog hair in my nose." ”

Matthew looked at where Bella Anderson stood, and Bella Anderson quickly walked over with a glass of water and handed him two sips.

Guillermo del Toro also came over, tilted his head and asked, "Are you alright?"

Matthew shook his head slightly, "It's okay." ”

He glanced at the prop dog and gradually relaxed, this is a prop dog, not a real dog.

The makeup artist came to touch up the makeup at this time, Matthew sighed in his heart, the feeling that the dog gave him was too complicated, and what he thought about this shooting was a bit simple, and he didn't take the dog factor into account too much.

With this experience, it is better not to take on a role like this in the future that has close contact with dogs.

To be precise, he has an indescribable psychological rejection of dogs, which does not come from the dogs themselves, but from some people who practice extreme practices.

Even now, Matthew clearly remembers that once a worker was going back to his hometown to get married, and invited a few of them to eat together, eating dog meat hot pot, one of them had a dog since childhood, a little sensitive to this aspect, and specially looked for someone from the restaurant to see, the hotel has all the formal procedures for purchasing directly from the meat dog farm, and the ingredients are all the same as raising pigs and cattle, specially bred meat dogs.

However, before a few people could move their chopsticks, some extremists came and not only lifted their hot pot, but also the pot with other guests, and one worker almost burned himself.

If they weren't crowded at that time, it is estimated that it would be impossible to go out completely.

There is another incident, a child was bitten by a stray dog, the father was angry, beat the stray dog, and happened to be photographed and posted on the Internet, this beloved father is considered to have poured blood mold, those extremists went to his house to make trouble, went to his unit to make trouble, poured feces on his car, and even smashed his car.

In the end, not only did he force the father to apologize, but even in order to keep his job and family clean, the father's old father had to kneel down for those people.

Those people still don't give up......

They never asked the child who was bitten by the dog how it was, and the stray dog had been wandering for a long time and no one had taken care of it.

In the city where Matthew works, many communities and many people are plagued by dogs, barking in the middle of the night, pooping anywhere, walking dogs without leashes, and taking dogs on public transportation......

On a few occasions, if he hadn't dodged quickly, he was almost pounced on by a large dog without a leash.

Maybe the dog itself is just expressing goodwill, including pounceing and mouthing people, but animals are animals, even if they are smart, they don't know the severity, once the dog's teeth break a little skin, is it troublesome?

Cases of rabies due to dog bites occur almost every year.

Thinking of this, Matthew shook his head and came back to his senses, he couldn't care about others, and he wouldn't care, anyway, Horner Manor refused all pets such as cats and dogs to enter.

His sensitivity to dogs is all caused by people.

Shooting began again, and Matthew retracted into the tub again with an automatic rifle, and in less than half a minute, Guillermo del Toro shouted through.

Matthew got out of the bathtub and called the makeup artist over to help clean up the hair that might be on his body, and the crew then adjusted the venue again to continue filming the actor's lonely life in the last days.

In the later shooting, all the scenes that do not have close contact with the dog are filmed with the German Shepherd, but all the scenes of direct contact with the dog, Matthew has replaced them with prop dogs.

As a first-line movie star, no one will overdo this request.

Of course, the people in the crew are not blind, and it gradually became clear that Matthew didn't like dogs, especially direct contact with dogs.

Matthew has already matured to deal with it, but whenever he comes into direct contact with a German Shepherd, he will sneeze constantly, and the doctor of the crew judged that he may be allergic to things like dog hair.

There's no way around it.

In the magical land of America, if a person does not love a dog, it is like not loving a black person, and it will be more or less troublesome.

Therefore, Matthew was in the bathtub before, and he deliberately sneezed three times in a row.
