It's another cold night, the cold wind is blowing, the East River in New York seems to be frozen under the Brooklyn Bridge, Matthew wraps up his coat and walks up to a suspended dock on the river, a red rescue helicopter is parked on the tarmac, and the crew has finished setting up the filming site.
"Hi Matthew. ”
Seeing Matthew coming over, Jessica Chastain took the initiative to say hello, Matthew looked around and asked, "Didn't Chloe come?"
Jessica Chastain seemed to be cold, her nose was a little red, and she said, "I guess it'll be there in a while." She exhaled a full mouthful of white air, "What the hell, the weather is suddenly so cold. ”
Matthew looked up at the sky, "It's not going to snow, is it?"
It's the end of November, and it's snow season in New York, probably because of the regional climate, New York often snows heavily in winter, and there are basically one or two snow disasters every year.
"Don't snow. Director Guillermo del Toro walked over and also looked up at the sky, "The last night was filmed on the Brooklyn Bridge, and if it snowed, it would be scrapped tonight." ”
The first five days of filming had gone well, and he didn't want to encounter the irresistible weather on the last night.
Guillermo del Toro said to Matthew again, "How many days are you going to be away from the crew this time?"
Matthew thought for a moment and said, "About five days, right?"
"So long?" said Guillermo del Toro frowned slightly.
"It takes me a day to go to Milan, Italy and a day to come back. Matthew said simply, "One day of the signing ceremony and two days of shooting commercials." ”
He spread his hands and said, "I don't even have time to visit Milan." ”
Guillermo del Toro nodded, "I try to adjust the shooting plan as much as possible. He turned his head to look at the camera and said, "You come back from Milan and go straight back to Los Angeles, we'll continue to shoot in the studio, and the scene in Washington Square will be filmed after the New Year." ”
Matthew nodded slightly, "No problem." ”
The crew's filming plan is definitely to the city of New York, which is now approaching Christmas and New Year, and there are a series of activities in the slightly larger squares of New York.
"Daddy......" The crisp children's voice suddenly sounded, and Matthew turned his head to look, and Chloe Moretz trotted over, her mother following behind.
"Hello, ...... Co., Matthew" quickly changed his words, "Hello, Mary." ”
Chloe Moretz came up to him and said, "It's cold." ”
Matthew smiled and said, "This is your last scene, you can find a place to warm up after filming." ”
"It feels so fast. Chloe Moretz tilted his head to look at Guillermo del Toro, "My scene will be over as soon as it is filmed." ”
Guillermo del Toro just nodded to Chloe Moretz, and then said to Matthew, "Don't be in a hurry to leave after filming today, Aziva came over with a reporter and asked us to go for an interview together." ”
"I see. Matthew answered.
"Alright! alright!" Guillermo del Toro suddenly raised his voice, "ready to start shooting!
The crew quickly cleared the set, and everyone except the actors withdrew from the set, and actors such as Matthew, Chloe Moretz, and Jessica Chastain also came to their respective positions.
Then, an assistant director shouted start.
Matthew picked Chloe Moretz in one hand and Jessica Chastain in the other, followed a GI and walked towards the rescue helicopter on the tarmac.
Coming to the helicopter, the GI said loudly, "Colonel, I will keep an eye on them, I promise you!"
Matthew nodded, didn't speak, just gave Chloe Moretz a deep look, handed her over to the GI on the helicopter, and kissed her on the forehead.
The little girl was reluctant, and Matthew patted her on the back, "Take care of Mommy." ”
Jessica Chastain walked over at this point, grabbed Matthew's face with both hands, and kissed it hard, Matthew's forehead against hers, his palm sliding over her pale skin.
"I love you!" he murmured, "I love you!"
The two parted, and Jessica Chastain prayed, "God, please bless Robert and give him the courage to face all the problems that lie ahead." God, please let him get home safely no matter what, Amen!"
It wasn't until she finished praying that Matthew said, "Get on the plane!" and he turned to look at Chloe Moretz, "Daddy's going to destroy those monsters, and you're going to take care of Mommy, okay, baby." ”
Jessica Chastain stepped forward again and kissed Matthew, and Chloe Moretz handed the model dog in her hand to Matthew, "Sam, you have to protect Daddy." ”
"Sir!" the GI interjected, "we must go!"
Matthew took the model dog and, together with the GI inside, closed the helicopter door, and Chloe Moretz made a butterfly shape with his hands through the door glass, and the inside and outside of the cabin were inseparable.
Another soldier came over and urged, "Sir, let's go!"
Matthew turned around, accompanied by two soldiers, and walked towards the riverbank, turning back as he went, his face full of reluctance.
This one passed smoothly, and then Matthew temporarily returned to the car to warm up and rest, Guillermo del Toro led the crew to shoot the footage of Chloe Moretz and Jessica Chastain in the helicopter cabin, Matthew also took advantage of this time to lie down on the sofa chair of the trailer for a nap, and when it was close to half past three, Bella Anderson came in and woke him up.
"You're going to shoot. She patted Matthew gently.
"Oh......" Matthew stood up and shook his head, "Okay, let's go." ”
He put on his coat, got out of the trailer, went to the suspension dock where the crew was, and exchanged a few words with Guillermo del Toro about the next shoot, Chloe Moretz and Jessica Chastain had finished filming and left, and when his final shots were filmed, the crew's work on the Brooklyn Bridge would be over.
The filming did not go very well, the actor witnessed the crash of the helicopter in which his wife and daughter were riding, which required a certain emotional outburst, Matthew had just returned from the warm trailer to the cold night breeze, and his body was also a little tense, and he shot five or six times in a row, but none of them achieved the effect that Guillermo del Toro wanted.
The last shot was taken, and it was close to four o'clock in the morning, but fortunately Matthew found his way back, otherwise he would have had to come back for another night.
"It's finally done. ”
The crew called it a day, and Guillermo del Toro, handing over the rest of the work to his assistant, came over to find Matthew and said, "Let's go, Aziva and the reporter are waiting for us in front of the bridge, and while there is still some time, hurry up and finish the interview." ”
Matthew put on the coat sent by Bella Anderson, opened the thermos again, took a sip of hot tea, and said, "It's been so cold this winter. ”
Guillermo del Toro led the way towards the entrance to the bridge, saw Matthew following him, and said, "Because we've spent the winter in Southern California." ”
Matthew couldn't help but laugh, "That makes sense! Southern California winters are warm." ”
The two walked and chatted, and soon came to the temporary barricade set up by the crew in front of the Brooklyn Bridge, and the crew was clearing the barricades in an effort to restore the Brooklyn Bridge area to its original state before four o'clock.
Two photojournalists, taking photos against this background.
There was also a reporter who accompanied Aziva Gosman to his feet, and immediately beckoned when he saw Matthew and Guillermo del Toro coming.
Aziva Gosman brought reporters from Warner Bros.'s Variety, known as the nation's two largest entertainment newspapers, and The Hollywood Reporter has long been the preferred paper promotion platform for Hollywood films.
Time was limited, so Aziva Gosman gave an introduction to both sides, said a brief hello, and the interview began.
One of the two photojournalists came back and took images of the interview.
The reporter first asked Aziva Gosman, "Will Smith is also said to have competed for this role, why did you choose Matthew instead of Will Smith?"
Without hesitation, Aziva Gossman said, "As a screenwriter, I am a big believer in the extraordinary ability to create a character with words, but the talent for using words to express body language is equally important. Matthew is such a great actor who is able to convey a lot of things with a performance that contains a lot of ideas and feelings. ”
These kinds of questions are pre-set, and the answers speak for themselves.
The reporter then asked Guillermo del Toro, "This is the first time you have worked with Matthew, can you tell us more about this cooperation?"
Guillermo del Toro estimated that he had been busy these days, and after thinking for a while, he recalled the set answer and said, "The most fascinating thing about Matthew is his outward warmth and charm, he can always bring so many different scales to his characters that you can't take your eyes off him for a moment." You may sympathize with him at times and be afraid of him at other times, you will laugh with him and then yell with him...... All of these layers can be present in his performances at the same time. And the most important thing about this character is that he has to be able to communicate everything he is going through, both physically and emotionally, without any form of dialogue. ”
Finally, the reporter's question came to Matthew, "Can you comment on your new role?"
"I got my wish to play this role. Matthew remembers it very well, just said it naturally, "For me, this role is very different because I need to perform with behavior, and it's really an incredible exercise because you can't find someone to talk to, but you still need to communicate, and that's the central part of what I need to focus on when I'm performing." You can discover parts of your character and yourself that you haven't noticed, both from an art form and a psychological point of view, and it's a very fascinating thing to explore. ”
After the New York location shoot came to an end for the time being, Matthew met up with Helen Herman at JFK Airport that morning and flew to Milan, Italy, for the signing ceremony of the Armani men's and women's lingerie ambassadors.
In addition to men's underwear, Armani has also found a heavyweight spokesperson for women's underwear.
