Chapter 643: Muscle Car

Seeing Paul Walker sitting across from him, Matthew finished his last bite, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said, "Paul, if you have any questions, don't be polite to me." ”

Paul Walker seemed to be deliberating with his words, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I've been wondering about this question for a long time, and I've never been able to ask it. ”

Matthew didn't say much, just made a gesture of please.

"That's right. Paul Walker no longer hesitated, scratched his head, and said, "When the crew talked to me about the actor's contract, a remark clause was added later, and I heard that it was what you meant." ”

Matthew knew what he was going to ask, and immediately nodded and said, "I asked to join." ”

Paul Walker asked curiously, "Matthew, why are you asking for a clause restricting drag racing?"

"I told you before that I don't just want to make this one part of "Fast and Furious", there are many more follow-ups, and if possible, I want to keep filming. When Matthew initially asked the crew to join this option, he prepared a corresponding and reasonable reason, saying, "Paul, reality is not a movie, I really want all of us to keep filming, and anyone who has an accident in the future is a loss to the crew, so I asked to add a remarks clause." ”

Paul Walker nodded slightly, "I see." ”

Matthew added, "It's not just you, Jordana, Gadot and Daniel have the same terms in their actor contracts. ”

This is not fooling Paul Walker, but in the contracts of several other main actors, such clauses are also added at the end, because the crew is not the only one who likes drag racing, but also Gal Gadot, the Israeli actress is probably a former soldier, and has some crazy motorcycle hobbies, often riding motorcycles around.

It's a pity that these terms can only be limited to when they are working on the crew, as long as they leave the crew after filming a movie, and until the contract for the next sequel is officially signed, it is not within the scope of the contract.

It's a legal issue, and he can't change it.

However, there is a drag racing clause in the contract, and presumably Paul Walker will have some concerns.

"Or do you think comprehensively. Paul Walker couldn't help but smile, "Look far, think far, I didn't even think about the next movie." ”

Matthew deliberately said in a joking tone, "If you breach the contract, you will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages." ”

Paul Walker is serious about his work, "Don't worry, I'm not going to drag racing during filming. ”

Matthew nodded and didn't say anything more.

On the other side, the two main actresses are sitting at the same table for a meal.

Gal Gadot looked at Matthew and Paul Walker's table and asked Jordana Brewster across the street, "Do other Hollywood crews have provisions that restrict actors from commuting to and from motorcycles?"

Jordana Brewster shook her head, "Haven't heard of it. She then said, "Looks like Paul has the answer." ”

"What a strange person. Gal Gadot glanced at Matthew again.

"Did you say Matthew?" said Jordana Brewster, seeing Gal Gadot's acquiescence, "Hollywood's big stars have a lot of quirks, and Matthew is definitely the kind with very few quirks among them." ”

Gal Gadot nodded, "I can see that he has been working together for almost two months, he doesn't have a bit of a big star frame, he is very kind to people, and he has a good temper and character." ”

Jordana Brewster couldn't help but tilt her head to look at her, "Gadot, you're not going to be attracted to him, are you? Matthew is a famous playboy in Hollywood." ”

"I'm not interested in him. Gal Gadot said directly, "He's not my type. ”

In the general crew, if there are two actresses with similar roles, they tend to fight openly and secretly, but Gal Gadot and Jordana Brewster get along well, one of them has just come to Hollywood from Israel, and the other has a good family condition, and only regards actors as a hobby and pastime, this casual attitude has also caused him to act for nearly ten years and still be a small star.

Jordana Brewster has known Matthew for a long time and said, "To like someone like Matthew is only to bother yourself with your style." ”

Gal Gadot looked over there again, and Marco had a great time chatting with Paul Walker.

After lunch, filming resumed, and the first scene of the afternoon was Matthew and the rivalry with Gal Gadot.

On the newly furnished set, Matthew slowly walked into a large garage and immediately saw a brand-new Mercedes-Benz sports car, and his eyes stayed on the car for a second.

He didn't have to look at it, and he knew that the camera lens behind him followed his eyes and fell on the Mercedes sports car.

The Mercedes is a completely redesigned SLR coupe built by McLaren Racing in Woking, UK, which has a long history of building F1 cars and races, and has taken the design rules from the 2003 F1 Silver Arrows.

Then, his gaze shifted to another brand-new Mercedes sedan next to him.

"Interested in this car?" Gal Gadot's voice rushed over.

Matthew didn't speak, just looked at the Mercedes sedan.

This is a Mercedes-Benz E63AMG newly designed by Mercedes-Benz, which incorporates some characteristics of American muscle cars, with a V8 engine with a large displacement, which can burst out an astonishing 1020 horsepower, especially the improved front face, which makes the whole car look very combative.

According to the needs of the film, Mercedes-Benz improved a number of cars for the crew, not only the models sold on the market, but also the number of concept cars.

In particular, the newly designed Mercedes-Benz E63AMG, which is his car, is different from the traditional Mercedes-Benz car, and it is also a model launched by Mercedes-Benz specifically for the North American market.

Of course, if the film is well received, Mercedes-Benz will use the North American market as a guide, and then spread to the world.

Compared with a supercar like the Bugatti Veyron, the cost of the car is not expensive, about less than 350,000 euros.

Mercedes-Benz, as one of the crew sponsors, is mainly responsible for providing cars for the characters of Matthew and Gal Gadot, while Jordana Brewster, Paul Walker and Daniel Wu are mainly Dodges in their cars.

After all, the concept of muscle cars was born in the United States.

In the history of American automobiles, there is such a model, it has a tough line, powerful power, extremely high fuel consumption, but under the ordinary shell usually contains a manic large displacement engine. This is the American muscle car that was extremely popular and sought after in the United States in the sixties of the twentieth century, and Americans called it "Muscle Car".

There are three models with a true American muscle car pedigree: the Chevrolet Camaro, the Dodge Challenger and the Ford Mustang.

The Dodger Challenger belongs to Dominic Toretto's car and also has a conflict with Matthew's sponsor, so the crew chose to let Paul Walker inherit Donald's exclusive car.

"You're the kind of person who likes cars more than women?"

Gal Gadot walked out from behind Matthew with her arms folded and her two long legs swaying, and turned in front of him, she was wearing a white tight T-shirt and black leggings, and with her beautiful face, she looked extremely sexy and beautiful.

Matthew looked at her and said, "I like cars with perfect shapes, and I like women with perfect shapes." ”

He turned his gaze back to the car again and asked, "Your car?"

"Phoenix's car. Gal Gadot turned in front of Matthew and leaned into the car, "You'll see him at the junction and he'll show you the way." ”

She tilted her head to look at Matthew, "Now I know your taste for cars." Tell me, what kind of woman do you like?"

Matthew also looked at her and said seriously, "She needs to have eyes like you that can see through the pompous appearance." As if he had seen through Gal Gadot, he "was able to see the essence of a person." Two angels, eight devils, very independent, very strong......"

Gal Gadot suddenly stood up, walked over to Matthew, and said, "That doesn't sound like me at all. ”

Matthew smiled, "Who knows." ”

With that, he stopped looking at Gal Gadot and turned around and walked towards the outside of the garage.

"Cut!" Justin Lin shouted to stop filming and exclaimed, "Matthew, Gadot, you two don't interact enough!"

Matthew looked at Gal Gadot, who shrugged at him.

Justin Lin walked into the set and said to the two of them, "You will become a couple at the end of the film, and at this time there are already inexplicable hormones beating between you, but I didn't see these from the shooting just now, your eyes and expressions seem to tell the audience that we have no special relationship, and we will definitely not come together......"

Gal Gadot smiled embarrassedly and said, "I see." ”

Matthew nodded, "I haven't gotten out of the morning action scene yet." ”

The filming has just begun, and his state is not very good, action scenes are not a problem, and emotional scenes are not what he is good at, unless it is the kind of thing that takes off his clothes and orders it directly.

Although there will be a lot of sexy scenes in this film, there will be no large-scale passion scenes.

Justin Lin gave Matthew and Gal Gadot three minutes to adjust, and Matthew also had a brief exchange with Gal Gadot.

The filming in the back encountered some problems, Matthew has rich experience in shooting, and Gal Gadot is an out-and-out beauty in his eyes, as long as he thinks of Wonder Woman, who once combined handsomeness and beauty and wisdom, his eyes immediately burned.

Gal Gadot is an out-and-out rookie actor, and his emotional expression is always not in place, and this scene was shot nearly ten times before Justin Lin shouted through.

The filming of the crew is always like this, there are good times and bad times, the first five days of filming, all kinds of situations are frequent, and only the minimum plan of Justin Lin has been completed.

On the sixth day of filming, a director who came to visit Ben Justin Lin caught Matthew's interest.
