In a diverse society like North America, a good way to be grounded is to let most minorities find their own representatives, in other words, to make the members of the racing group composed of multiple ethnic groups.

Caucasian, Latino, African, Asian, etc., these can all be seen in drag racing.

Matthew immediately thought of the market on the other side of the Pacific, and in the future, if he buys this type of film, he may be able to lay out in advance, find a suitable candidate from the male stars on the other side of the Pacific and join the drag racing group.

After thinking about it, Matthew gave up, drove wildly in the city over there, and finally left safely.

Later, Matthew called Bella Anderson over and asked her to jot down what she had just thought and feed it back to David Ellison so that she wouldn't forget it later.

The next day, he had dinner with David Ellison and Bearded Jack and communicated their ideas.

Matthew's ideas were strongly supported by the bearded Jack, and now the social situation in the United States is here, and it is inevitable to take the initiative to adapt.

The news quickly spread to the Pre-Production Team for the Fast and Furious series, with some people quickly recommending their respective characters, and out of confidence in Matthew's continued success, David Ellison left Matthew to make decisions almost entirely on this matter.

The script of the entire film was overturned and restarted before it was written, and just as Hollywood never gave screenwriters a lot of creative freedom, the script of "Fast and Furious" became a standard propositional essay.

The theme of the script is based on what Matthew said before, and then the main characters and the relationships between the main characters are first delineated, and then the story is filled in according to the characters.

This is a typical Hollywood-style assembly line operation model.

Matthew and David Ellison's expected investment of more than $100 million will definitely follow the pattern of past successes, and if someone on the crew suggests a revolutionary innovation, Matthew will be the first to kick him out of the crew.

In terms of roles, Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster are bound to return, and Matthew will play one of the heavier roles.

As for minority roles, Paul Walker recommended Tyrese Gibson for Part 2 as a candidate for African-American, and screenwriter Gary Scott-Thomas suggested that Han should return as an Asian-American character candidate, but Matthew refused outright on the grounds of Han's character's death, intending to find someone to pick a Chinese-American actor or find a tough-guy actor directly from across the Pacific.

In addition, Latino is needed, and after being reminded by David Ellison, Matthew finds himself ignoring one of Hollywood's most powerful forces, the Jewish Americans.

Since it is a multi-ethnic drag racing group, a Jewish character is also a must.

Of course, these characters may not appear in the fourth installment, and if the fourth installment is successful, they will appear in the sequels of the new trilogy.

Filming for "I Am Legend" continued, with the crew filming in a Warner Studios studio throughout February, and then moving to New York in March for the final exterior scenes of Washington Square and the banks of the East River in New York.

Since last year's shooting, the German Shepherd named Carl has disappeared from the crew, because the dog is obviously hostile to Matthew, and all Sam-related shots, the crew will generate special effects in CGI in post-production, which is not too difficult for Hollywood film technology today.

"Matthew! Sadness! Anger!"

On the set of the laboratory, Guillermo del Toro shouted to stop filming and shouted to Matthew, "Your only companion is dead, you shouldn't be so calm!"

He raised his voice, "Let's do it again." ”

When the crew was preparing the script, Matthew once proposed that the actor Robert Neville should not be allowed to kill Sam, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, but after the field investigation by the crew and Warner Bros., he was a little too sensitive, and most of the people in the relevant organizations did not have much opinion on this.

Director Guillermo del Toro thought that Sam's death could make the story of the film more tense, and in the end the crew chose to let Robert Neville kill Sam himself.

Matthew didn't speak, just nodded, this shot has been NG four times, and his emotional expression has been lacking in strength.

These are actually his own reasons, director Guillermo del Toro gave him fifteen minutes to adjust his mentality, Matthew is also an old actor now, he stayed quietly for a while, slowly emptied his brain, and his mentality gradually stabilized.

Fifteen minutes later, filming resumed with the order of director Guillermo del Toro.

Matthew's arms trembled, he picked up the model dog, leaned on the test table, and slowly sat on the ground, his face not only sad, but also afraid, as if he was afraid of losing his last loved one.

He hugged the model dog tightly, as if trying to warm Sam's gradually cold body with his own body heat.

A big hand trembled over the model dog's head, and the words he spat out were shaking, "Don't worry, don't worry about anything." ”

At this moment, the fear of losing a loved one in his voice was extremely obvious, "Everything will be fine, it's okay......" The voice gradually choked up, "Don't worry......

He stretched out the hand of **, and the palm of his hand was covered with dog hair.

Matthew stopped choking and muttered to himself, hummed a little song in an incoherent tone, opened the eyes and mouth of the model dog successively, looked at the pupils and canine teeth respectively, and his breathing instantly became short, because the most feared and feared thing still happened.

Guillermo del Toro didn't look at the director's monitor, he stood behind the main camera, staring at Matthew, he saw Matthew's eyes widen and his facial expression was very painful, and immediately said to the cameraman, "Take a close-up of Matthew's face, the camera doesn't fall on the dog." ”

The photographer didn't say a word, and immediately did so.

Matthew pursed his lips tightly, his facial expression was hideous and painful, his arm strangled the neck of the model dog, his strength was very great, and the resin bones of the prop dog even sounded the sound of shattering......

Finally, he stopped, let go of the prop dog in his hand, and two lines of tears silently ran down his cheeks.

"Okay, it's over!" Gilmour del Toro shouted with a hint of inexplicable excitement as he shouted into Matthew, "Well done, Matthew!

Matthew got up from the ground, cocked a thumb to Guillermo del Toro's side, didn't speak, and walked to the rest area on his own.

When he stood up, he returned to normal, and there was no such thing as being in a deep grief and unable to extricate himself.

"By industry standards......" Matthew sat in his chair, a little self-deprecating, "my acting skills are still not in the flow." ”

Bella Anderson came over and said, "Miss Theron has come to visit. ”

"Sally?" asked Matthew immediately, "what about her?"

She and her agent went to the office of producer Aziva Gossman. Bella Anderson gestured to the makeshift office in the corner of the studio, "I said hello to Miss Theron, and she said I'd come to you after talking to Aziva Gossman." ”

Matthew nodded, "I see." ”

After a break of less than ten minutes, he entered the set again and continued to shoot the rest of the day's footage, the crew quickly moved the filming location to the set of the audiovisual store, perhaps the most difficult scene was filmed, and the rest of the footage was shot very smoothly, and before four o'clock in the afternoon, director Guillermo del Toro announced the call it a day.

Charlize Theron and his agent are still talking to Aziva Gossman, Matthew went to the dressing room first, took off his makeup and changed his clothes and returned to the studio, Charlize Theron was wearing denim pants and a white top and was chatting with Bella Anderson.

"Hi Sally. Matthew strode over, and Charlize Theron turned to look at him, a bright smile on his face, and nodded, "Long time no see, Matthew." ”

The two opened their arms and naturally embraced.

No matter what happened before, they have always been good friends who keep in touch.

Of course, boundaries occasionally cross the hierarchy of good friends, only to quickly fall back.

"Let's go, let's talk as we go. Matthew beckoned Charlize Theron, and the two came out of the studio together, and he asked, "How was the conversation with Aziva Gosman?"

Charlize Theron walked towards the door of the studio with Matthew, and said as he walked, "Aziva has already given me the script, whether I will accept it or not, I have to read the script before making a decision." She turned her head to look at Matthew, "Haven't you signed a contract yet?"

Matthew shrugged his shoulders, "The main reason why I didn't sign the contract is that the salary has not been negotiated for the time being, and it has nothing to do with the script." ”

"It's a pretty generic script. Charlize Theron said directly, "It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a bad script, and it's no wonder that no one has invested in this script in various Hollywood companies for ten years." ”

She asked curiously, "Why did you fall in love with this script?"

"Sally, haven't you studied it carefully? A vulgar script like 'He and Come Tonight' is the script that is always used in blockbuster commercial films. "The script is only a small part of the conditions under which I am willing to take on this project, the most important thing is Aziva Gossman, this is Aziva Gossmann's project, I am sure of one thing, Aziwa Gosman, like Jerry Bruckheimer in previous years, is in the best period of a producer." ”

Charlize Theron certainly understands that when it comes to picking a film, both the director and the producer can be in front of the script.

When the two arrived at the studio, Charlize Theron declined Matthew's invitation to dinner, saying, "I still have to think about it and talk to Aziva Gossman before I can make a decision." “

Matthew nodded, "Sally, I'm really looking forward to working with you again. ”
