"After a busy day, you can't resist the exhaustion and fall into a deep sleep. ”

In the studio of a small studio near the University of Toronto, Zack Schneider hung up his headphones, stood in the venue set up as a police station, and said to Matthew, "When I woke up, the whole world changed, the police station was no longer noisy, but eerily quiet, and then it was weirdly attacked, and his partner died and became a zombie, you don't think it's right, carefully probe ......"

Matthew himself wore a tight black police shirt and black police pants on the lower half of his body, and nodded to Zack Snyder.

Zack Schneider turned around, crouched in front of a girl with very scary makeup, and began to explain her role, compared to adult actors like Matthew, child actors are the real headache for directors.

Every director has his own habits and requirements when filming, and Zack Snyder is obviously different from the directors Matthew worked with before, he forbids actors to rehearse before filming, and pursues the kind of wonderful sparks that suddenly collide when actors perform live, which is also in line with the setting of a group of people who don't know each other because of disasters.

Therefore, during the preparation period, the crew did not specifically arrange for the actors to meet, nor did they let any of the actors rehearse in advance.

Of course, for some roles that use firearms in filming, the actors must have proper training and basic knowledge of firearms.

Matthew doesn't know what about others, anyway, he hadn't played against any actors before he came to Toronto.

The filming location of the crew this time was all in Toronto, a Canadian city that many Hollywood crews like to film, and even has the title of "Northern Hollywood", which is currently the third largest film production base in North America after Los Angeles and New York.

After coming to Canada, Matthew also learned that Universal Pictures and Sean Daniel chose to shoot in Toronto, and not just because there was a large mall ready to be demolished for filming.

In addition to the proximity to Hollywood, it can be used as a "satellite city" to provide film production services for Hollywood, the attractive preferential policies offered by the Toronto government are the main reason for the crew to come over for filming, and he occasionally heard Sean Daniel mention that the Toronto government can provide a subsidy of close to 10% of the production cost for the crew.

This is not the most, according to Matthew's later special understanding, the local government's subsidy for Hollywood crews can reach up to 12% of the total production cost.

Compared with California and Los Angeles, such preferential policies are too attractive.

If he were a producer, he would also bring the crew to shoot here instead of staying in Los Angeles.

After Zack Schneider finished the scene to the little girl, he told the family members who accompanied her, and then told the actor dressed as another police officer a few words, and saw that there were no other problems and was ready to start filming.

All departments of the crew are making final adjustments, Matthew left the camera, came to the sofa to lie down, closed his eyes and went to sleep, although he had not rehearsed before, but among the main actors of the crew, he was the first to get the script, since he signed the actor contract at the beginning of the month, he studied the role in the angel agency and found someone to help with the play, and each scene of the role was basically carefully pondered.

"Dawn of the Living Dead, Scene 1, Act 1!" the assistant director's voice came over at this time, "Now on!"

Zack Schneider and the DP each controlled a camera and shot from two angles that did not interfere with each other, and the whole set was unusually quiet, and because the director Zack Schneider specifically requested it, all the crew members even put their breathing to the lightest.

Matthew rolled over on the couch and woke up from his sleep, first stretched, then looked up at the wall clock on the wall, and was about to stand up when his partner, who was resting near the door, also woke up.

Since yesterday, there have been a number of biting incidents in the local area, which has caused tension in the police force, and the male protagonist played by Matthew and another police officer have been busy until late, and they have not left the police station at all, and have found a room to rest.

The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and some harsh sunlight shone in, and Matthew squinted his eyes, as if he was still adjusting to the light, and the actor near the door walked over and asked, "Is there something wrong, Cordier?"

It was a girl who had been separated from her family that they had brought back from the road when they returned to the police station last night.

Matthew squeezed his eyes, as if he had adapted to the bright light, and suddenly noticed that the little girl's mouth was a little abnormal, but before he could do anything, the little girl jumped up and bit on the main artery in his partner's neck.

The pre-arranged blood bag burst as planned, and a stream of blood rushed out, staining the snow-white walls red.

Matthew reacted instantly, rushed up and pulled the little girl, the little girl bit the flesh and skin attached to the actor's neck in her mouth, the actor covered her neck and fell to the ground, the little girl opened her bloody mouth and bit Matthew again.

Although he looked dazed and a little flustered, Matthew's resolute face still showed enough composure, after all, this was a well-informed police character, he grabbed the little girl's shoulders and threw her out.

The crew has already done a good job of safety protection, and there is no need to worry about problems.

Matthew then rushed over and closed the door, which, as soon as it closed, began to pound violently outside, and the whole door trembled.

Without caring about the door, Matthew turned to look at his partner, who was lying on the ground trembling with blood dripping from his neck, and he quickly pulled a towel to wrap his neck.

"Help!" he shouted, "Help!

But there was no response from the quiet, eerie surroundings.

Matthew couldn't stop the bleeding, his face was full of anxiety, he pulled off the blood-stained walkie-talkie on his partner's body, and shouted, "Help is needed ......here!

The walkie-talkie also did not respond to anything other than the sound of stabbing Lala.

"Ka!" Director Zack Schneider shouted to stop filming and said to Matthew, "That's good! But, Matthew, you need to have a little more face, let's do it again." ”

In the entire crew, it can be said that in addition to Sean Daniel, Matthew is the biggest card, Zack Schneider has shot MVs for stars for many years, shot commercials for super brands, knows how to communicate with well-known people, and the film director must be a good hand at coordination and communication in a sense.

Matthew beckoned to Zack Schneider and said, "No problem!"

He sat on the sofa on the side, and the special makeup artist immediately came to touch up the makeup, and the other two actors were in trouble and had to reapply their makeup, especially the actor of the policeman who hung up, who had to take a shower first and then reapply his makeup.

But no one complained, even if everyone knew that it was Matthew's expression and emotions that were not in place to bring about these troubles.

This is the treatment that a star-level actor should have.

A full hour later, the shooting restarted, Matthew's performance this time was slightly better, Zack Snyder was born in shooting commercials and MVs, and paid more attention to the composition of the whole picture, rather than the actors' performances.

He has been preparing for a career as a film director for many years, and naturally knows that there is a big difference between the performance of commercial entertainment films and the performance of literary independent films.

The acting skills of many actors in the former must be unqualified in the latter, but the latter's performance method of digging deep into the character's heart is also not suitable for commercial entertainment movies.

After this scene, Matthew's state is a little better, and there is no longer this kind of scene where NG has to spend a lot of time re-makeup, and the shooting is a little smoother, although each scene and each shot basically have to NG a few times, but the shooting has just begun, which is also a normal situation for the crew to run in.

NG is not necessarily because he has a problem with the main actor, this crew except for the photographer and art director who was brought in by Zack Schneider, the others are improvised patchwork, such a team, even if there is enough communication during the preparation period, needs to be run in in the field.

There are many reasons for the interruption of the shooting, one-third of Matthew's single expression is not rich enough, and other reasons account for the other two-thirds, such as the lighting is not suitable, the actors' positions need to be adjusted, the camera changes the camera position, and Zack Schneider has other ideas temporarily.

By the end of the day, the crew had shot a total of five shots, and after Matthew escaped from the toilet window in order to avoid the zombies in the police station, Zack Schneider announced the end of the morning's work.

In order to maintain the continuity of the shooting, Matthew did not remove his makeup, took his mobile phone from his personal assistant, and prepared to go to the restaurant for dinner.

This studio, which is close to the University of Toronto, is not very large, and only the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead" is currently working, but the crew has already been contacted, and the studio's cafeteria will be responsible for the crew's daily diet.

Matthew, because of the makeup on his body, especially the ketchup that looked like blood plasma on his clothes, did not come over, but instructed his assistant to fill a few dishes he liked on the dinner plate, and then found a table and prepared to eat alone.

This morning was a scene in the studio, and in the afternoon it will be transferred to an open-air set outside the studio, there is no female role, and Matthew did not see Jessica Alba on the set.

He sat down to take a sip of water, picked up his fork, and was just about to taste the good-looking potato braised brisket when two women suddenly came over and sat down across from him.

Matthew glanced up, one was Helen Herman, and the other was Alexandra D'Addario, who had a scene to shoot in the afternoon.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" he asked.
