The day after Matthew returned from a trip to the desert with Carolina Kokuva under the scorching sun, the crew had to change the filming plan and temporarily postpone some of the scenes about the redhead to shoot the fight scene between the Duke and Colonel Brad first, because Carolina Kokuva suffered from heat stroke.

Taking advantage of the break from filming, Stephen Sommers specifically approached Matthew and chatted about colds and heat stroke.

"Matthew, we are old friends and partners for many years. ”

Now that it is not as good as in the past, Stephen Sommos is still quite polite, "You are also the most dedicated actor I have ever seen in my career." ”

Sitting under the huge sun umbrella and taking a sip of water, Matthew looked at Stephen Sommos and smiled, "Stephen, if you have something to say, you can just say it, we don't have to be so polite between us." ”

Stephen Sommers thought about it, and said quite tactfully, "This film will be released on Independence Day next year, and it is already December, although post-production is going on simultaneously, but the time is really tight, and a delay of a few days may cause a series of plan changes." ”

Hearing this, Matthew immediately understood what Stephen Sommers meant.

When filming in Iceland earlier, he made Sienna Miller catch a cold, and finally became cold and infected, including him, many people in the crew caught a cold.

This time filming in the Sonora Desert, Sienna Miller did not come, and as a result, Carolina Kokuva suffered from heat stroke......

If he were a director, it is estimated that he would also have opinions.

Although it was not intentional, it happened eventually, Matthew nodded, and said very seriously, "Stephen, there will be no next time." ”

In the desert under the scorching midday sun, let a supermodel dance on the hot sand in disgust, just watch it once.

Stephen Sommos got the desired result, smiled at Matthew, and went back behind his director's monitor, ready to continue filming.

Matthew looked towards the north of the filming location, and he could vaguely see the crew station, because Carolina Kokuva suffered from heat stroke in a game that went a little too far yesterday, does he, the initiator, also have to say something?

Of course, a million dollars is impossible, after all, this is the agreed effort and return of both parties.

He immediately thought of the wind oil essence and cool oil that must be brought to all filming in hot areas, and it would be good to wait for the crew to finish work today and send a few boxes to Karolina Kokova.

When he retracted his gaze, Matthew found that there were many fans gathered around the set to watch the shooting, and said to the assistant next to him, "Let people send some water to those fans, and if someone asks, they will say that I ordered it." ”

The assistant immediately replied, "I'll do it." ”

Matthew nodded lightly, and glanced at those fans again, there were not many of them, only more than thirty years old, all of them were young people in their twenties.

chasing stars into the desert is basically his fans, and they are hardcore fans.

Matthew is never ambiguous when it's time to show favor to his fans, and there's nothing quite like cool water in this brightly lit desert to feel refreshed.

Now he has a large fan base, and fans can run to the desert to support him, not only because of his excellent works, but also because of careful management.

A seemingly inconspicuous response can often make fans excited and unable to sleep.

The crew made adjustments, and filming soon began again.

In front of the camera lens, Matthew and Jason Statham stand on top of the golden sand, two hard faces as rocky as facing each other, and strong muscles are faintly visible under the holes in their military uniforms.

"Colonel Brad!" Matthew's voice was unusually cold, "you betrayed my squad!"

Jason Statham sneered in a hoarse voice, "You can go see your brethren now." ”

As he spoke, he first ripped off his military uniform, revealing the black vest inside, and then pulled out his dagger from behind his back and assumed a hand-to-hand combat pose.

Matthew also unbuttoned his military uniform and threw it on the sand behind him, his hand reaching behind his waist.

"I caught up with you so you could understand...... "Matthew's hand behind his waist suddenly pointed forward, "What are you dying!"

Bang - Bang -

The gunshot rang out, Jason Statham covered his chest and looked at Matthew in confusion, "You...... Even with a gun!"

In Matthew's hand, he held a black pistol, the muzzle of which was aimed at Jason Statham's chest.

Jason Statham fell to the ground, staggered in the desert, and never moved again.

Matthew put away his pistol and turned and walked towards the bottom of the dunes.

"Cut!" Stephen Sommers shouted, "This one is over. ”

Hearing the shout to stop, Matthew turned around and reached out to pull Jason Statham up from the sand, Jason Statham brushed the sand off his body and said, "It's a little hot, the director doesn't shout to stop, I just jump up." ”

Matthew deliberately said, "I still have bullets in my gun......"

On the other side, Stephen Sommos raised his megaphone and shouted, "All departments are reset and shot again in ten minutes." ”

Matthew returned to the resting place and hurried over with the makeup artist to wipe his sweat and makeup.

In such a hot weather, although the face is only a very thin base makeup, the sweaty actor can't wipe it casually.

Next, it was this one-on-one confrontation between him and Jason Statham, but the process was completely different, just now the Duke solved Colonel Brad very happily with a firearm, but the two fought hand-to-hand again.

Stephen Sommers devised two solutions for this scene, and he has not decided which one to use until now, so he simply shoots them all and makes a decision based on the overall plot in post-editing.

The shooting of hand-to-hand combat is not as simple as it was just now, an action scene is split into dozens of shots, the longest is only four or five seconds, and most of the shots are basically Matthew and Jason Statham each doing an action, and then it is over.

Except for the time to hide from the sun at noon, this scene was filmed from morning to evening, and it was only at the end of the stage.

"Let's go!"

With Stephen Sommers giving the order, filming began again.

Matthew's camouflage vest has long been turned into rags, torn off and thrown aside, revealing perfect muscle lines like carvings, and Jason Statham on the opposite side is also topless, and his tendon flesh is also very attractive.

Both of them had scars on their faces, but Jason Statham was a little worse, not only with a crooked mouth and nose, but also blood slowly oozing out from the eyebrow bone.

The battle had reached its final moments, and the daggers in their hands had long since fallen somewhere.

Just as the blood dripping from Jason Statham's eyebrow bone flowed through the corners of his eyes, and Jason Statham unconsciously squeezed his eyes, Matthew rushed out like a cheetah and crashed into Jason Statham like a tank, and Jason Statham was smashed on the pre-laid green mat on the ground by his hands around his waist.

Matthew held one hand down Jason Statham's throat and the other into a fist, punch after punch on the mat next to Jason Statham's face.

"It's for John ......"

"This punch is Djokaeff ......"

He chattered as he fought, as if seeking justice for his dead teammates.

Finally, Stephen Sommos' voice came, "Okay!

Matthew let go of his fist and gasped hard, standing up first before pulling Jason Statham up.

Jason Statham looked back at the mat, and the position next to his head just now had been punched with a fist, which looked a little shocking.

For the shooting effect, Matthew used almost eighty percent of his strength.

In this scene, the duke was full of anger, and the fist he hit out was definitely not soft.

"If you get a punch off the rails. Jason Statham rubbed his prosperous beauty, palpitated, and said, "I'm disfigured." ”

Matthew shook his head and smiled, saying in his heart that at most, he was more like Guo Da.

He patted Jason Statham on the arm and said, "To comfort your wounded heart, I'm going to treat you to a cold beer at night." ”

Jason Statham immediately laughed, "That's it." ”

The crew was still cleaning up the set, Matthew was the first to leave, returned to the makeup trailer to remove makeup, take a shower and change clothes, under the protection of several bodyguards, took an off-road vehicle back to the crew's station, he first asked the crew to notify the temporary catering team, prepared a cold beer for him at night, and returned to the makeup trailer, found a few boxes of wind oil essence and cooling oil from the suitcase, and prepared to send them to Karolina Kokova in person.

The crew was temporarily housed in trailers, but the men's and women's quarters were located on one side of the camp, hundreds of feet apart.

Matthew changed into cool clothes, put on a sun hat, and got out of the trailer, where Brown Williams and several bodyguards were already waiting at the door.

The sun was approaching the horizon and the weather was much cooler, and he walked towards Karolina Kokova's trailer with a paper bag containing wind oil essence and cooling oil.

Not long after walking out, Brown Williams suddenly approached him and whispered, "There's a situation ahead." ”

Matthew has always had a good mental quality, and he didn't look back, Brown Williams continued to say in a very low voice, "Someone is following us, I just observed, it shouldn't be someone in the crew." ”

At the moment when Brown Williams came over, the two bodyguards behind Matthew were already close to him, completely covering him with their strong bodies.

Brown Williams added, "You turn left on the next trailer and get into the back of the trailer to get out of the tracker's sight. ”

Matthew nodded slightly, fully trusting Brown Williams in this regard, an elite veteran of the battlefield and anti-terrorism for the rest of his life.

"Chris, Ronald, Blatter, Bernardo, Beasley, protect Matthew!" Brown Williams commanded, "John, you'll go around with me and grab that guy in a moment." ”
