Chapter 603: I Want to Beat You Up
"You said you met Emma Watson when you were in Geneva?"
In the dressing room at Warner Studios, Helen Herman sent the makeup artist away, looked at Matthew, who had just finished putting on makeup, and asked, "Talking to her for a while?"
Matthew's cheeks were a little itchy, scratched them slightly, and said, "Not only did we chat, but I also made an appointment with me when she came to Los Angeles." ”
Helen Herman unconsciously thought about it, reminding, "I remember Emma Watson was born in 1990, not yet eighteen years old. ”
"You're thinking too much, Helen. Matthew understood what he meant, "I know what matters." ”
Helen Herman still reminded, "There are many male stars in the circle who are messing around with sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, but you don't want to do this, once the other party bites back, even if there is a Romeo and Juliet clause, it will be very troublesome." ”
She looked very serious, "How many girls who can come to Hollywood to work hard are simple-minded?"
Matthew nodded, "I know, you can rest assured." ”
He had just met a girl with a complicated mind and daring to think and do things yesterday.
Of course, he had specially asked the relevant personnel of the crew before, that girl was over eighteen years old, otherwise the crew would not have used her to play that kind of drama.
Perhaps using a girl under the age of 18 to play that kind of passionate drama is nothing in an independent literary film, but mainstream commercial films certainly do not take this risk.
Matthew certainly doesn't take that risk, and Helen Herman's reference to the Romeo and Juliet clause has also been specifically said by Wilson's lawyer, which is to avoid the behavior between two consensual young people being brutally defined as a crime, and at the same time to protect them from being classified as sexual predators and thus affecting happiness and future.
That is, if a person wants to have a relationship with someone under the age of 17, as long as they are not a registered sexual predator, the age gap between them and the other person is not more than three years, and the other person is older than 14 years.
Naturally, people like him are not covered by the Romeo and Juliet Act.
Of course, it's not just girls who are protected, boys are also protected.
According to Wilson's lawyer, one of the original sources for many states to set such provisions was an incident in Georgia where a female teacher used the darkness to get a male student to give her a mouth when the lights were turned off in the classroom.
"And ......" Helen Herman was not polite to him, and said directly, "You knock on the side and ask if Emma Watson has any intention of changing agencies." ”
Matthew turned to look at her and asked, "You still want to poach Emma Watson?"
Helen Herman said calmly, "Why not? Her salary and popularity in the fashion industry are all the best choices." ”
"Okay, I'll help you ask. Matthew then reminded, "It's hard to estimate, her agency has considered it very comprehensively, and is already preparing for her transformation after the Harry Potter series. ”
Helen Herman nodded slightly, "I know, Emma Watson is now an ambassador for UNICEF. She lifted her glasses, "You have to try it." ”
Matthew didn't say much, and he would help Helen Herman as much as he could.
Not long after chatting about this, a crew member came over to remind him that Matthew left the dressing room, walked out of the studio, and came to the open-air set to prepare for shooting.
The open-air set was lined with green screens, and the next scene to be filmed was where he and Charlize Theron got into a fight.
Charlize Theron has arrived on the set and is communicating with the action director, Matthew also walked over and took a special look at her outfit, Charlize Theron is wearing a black costume, the short trench coat on top is almost to the navel, the skirt is also very short, and there are knee-high heeled boots underneath, which looks very sexy.
This outfit is quite transparent, but there is no pressure on Charlize Theron, Matthew has always been very clear that Charlize Theron has always belonged to the kind of actress who dares to take off and dare to leak, even in the last two years, there are many half-naked scenes.
"Hi Matthew. The action director greeted Matthew, and then told him about the action scenes to be filmed in a while, "This fight of yours is based on pure strength. Charlize's character will add some magic effects in the later stage, and you will have to shoot all the shots related to spell casting. ”
He turned to look at Matthew, "Your role is entirely hand-to-hand combat. ”
Matthew nodded and didn't express an opinion, the scenes here were in the early preparations, he had rehearsed with Charlize Theron, those scenes that were too difficult, and both of them had stunt doubles.
After the action director gave an explanation, director Peter Borg came over and gave two more instructions, and filming was about to start, but one of the crew's cameras temporarily malfunctioned and suddenly went on strike.
Since it wasn't a big problem, the technicians were hurrying to fix it, and Matthew and Charlize Theron didn't come out of the set, so they waited patiently by a car.
"I've been looking forward to this scene. Charlize Theron suddenly said without a clue, "I've been waiting for a long time." ”
Matthew turned to look at her and asked, "Do you expect us to be able to fight hand-to-hand?"
Charlize Theron's face remained unchanged, "Expect me to punch you hard." She asked Matthew, "Do you know I want to beat you up?"
Matthew spread his hands, "If you're going to hit me, I'm not going to fight back, you know." ”
Charlize Theron shook her head, "I came to the set today and heard a lot of people talking about you. ”
"Who doesn't talk about people?" Matthew pretended to be confused, "who doesn't talk about people?"
Charlize Theron turned her head to look at him, didn't bother to speak again, and simply shut her mouth.
Ten minutes later, the camera was troubleshooting, a large number of extras and Matthew and Charlize Theron were all in place, the behind-the-scenes department was also adjusted, and director Peter Borg gave an order, and today's filming officially began.
Surrounded by a green screen, Matthew was lying on an asphalt road with a huge pit under him, surrounded by debris of the road, and he struggled to get up, and Charlize Theron, in his long leather boots, strode over like a queen, his cold face rather unkind.
Charlize Theron came over and said hatefully, "You can't do this to me anymore!"
She has hatred, sadness, and reluctance on her face, a face that used to be cold in front of the camera, and suddenly her expression became extremely rich, as if she had taken out Oscar-level acting skills.
"Uh......" Matthew couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Charlize Theron suddenly erupt.
Director Peter Borg immediately shouted, "Stop!" he reminded, "Matthew, don't be stunned!"
Matthew had already raised his hand and gestured, "My question." ”
Peter Borg shouted again, "All departments back in place, three minutes remake!"
Hearing this, Matthew didn't bother to stand up, just sat on the ground and asked Charlize Theron, who came over, "What's the matter? I haven't seen you for a few days, and your acting skills have soared." ”
Charlize Theron knew that her acting skills were not good, and she was not the Oscar for Best Actress for her acting skills, so she didn't care about Matthew's words, and said lightly, "You think about it yourself." ”
Matthew is not stupid, he was silent for a moment, and after more than ten seconds, he shook his head and said, "Sally, we are friends." ”
Charlize Theron struggled to squeeze out a smile, "Good. We're friends. ”
She didn't say anything more, turned her head and walked back to her place, Matthew looked at Charlize Theron's back and saw that she seemed to be a little stronger, even with the trench coat covering her, she still looked like a tiger's back.
Filming started again, Charlize Theron was still in excellent form, and Matthew was mentally prepared and performed no less.
"What? What do you mean?"
In front of the camera, Matthew gets up from the ground and follows Charlize Theron, who walks into the crowd of extras and strides ahead.
Just to the left of Matthew and Charlize Theron, a camera follows the two of them along the slide.
"Hey, I love you!" one of the extras shouted.
Matthew ignored it, just chased Charlize Theron and asked, "What the hell do you mean?"
Charlize Theron said as she walked, "It's no good for the two of us to meet, we always break up, whether it's in Persia, Greece, or Brooklyn!"
Matthew strode after him, puzzled, "Brooklyn, I've never been there!"
As if stimulated, Charlize Theron suddenly stopped, turned around, stretched out a finger and poked Matthew's chest hard, and said sharply, "I've put up with you for three thousand years! I've had enough!
Matthew also raised his voice, "I don't understand anything you said!"
Charlize Theron didn't care about his lines, but said to herself, "Now I finally have a happy family!
Her finger went all the way up, and it had already poked Matthew's face, and she gritted her teeth, "You're making trouble again!"
Matthew shouted loudly, "I don't know what you're talking about!" Seeing Charlize Theron walk away without looking back, he raised his voice, "I don't know what you're talking about?"
Charlize Theron walked up to a heavy truck, stopped abruptly, turned around, took off the sunglasses off his face, and seemed to have reached the tipping point of an outburst of rage, "You call me crazy?"
Matthew nodded, "Crazy woman!"
Charlize Theron also nodded, put on her sunglasses, and turned around and grabbed the front bumper of the truck.
This is the end of the filming of this long shot, and the next shot of the heroine smashing Hancock in anger depends on post-production special effects.
Before the filming of the movie started, when designing the action scenes, Matthew had suggested to Aziva Gossman and Peter Borg that the superman fight scenes in this play must have the momentum and scene of the battle of God-level characters, and it is best to reflect the kind of powerful force that destroys the world, rather than the level of elementary school students.
The two men also accepted his advice.
