Chapter 164: All Bad People (Ask for Subscription)
Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
Everyone looked at the assistant director and didn't understand what was going on, even if it was because the tourists refused to cooperate, and the crew had to change the shooting plan at the last minute, right?
The assistant director panicked, his face full of incredulity, as if he had seen the outbreak of World War III.
"Fernandez!" Chakracle exclaimed, dissatisfied, "calm me down!"
"Something's wrong, there's an accident" Fernandez didn't mean to calm down at all, still the same way he was just now, "My brother, my brother"
He was incoherent, and Matthew was completely confused.
"What's wrong with your brother?" asked a staff member who knew him well, "Did you tell me yesterday that he went to work for a large company in the World Trade Tower?"
Hearing the word World Trade Tower, Matthew was startled and asked King Mira next to him, "What time is it today?"
King Mira immediately replied, "September 11th." ”
September 11th, September 11th, coupled with the World Trade Tower, Matthew instantly thought that a shocking case that had changed the whole world had happened.
Sure enough, the assistant director cried and yelled, "I just heard the news that the World Trade Center has been attacked, the south tower of the Twin Towers has collapsed, and my brother works on the 78th floor of the south tower."
"How is that possible?"
"Won't it?"
"This is not a joke. ”
Most of the crew didn't believe it, or couldn't believe it, after all, the United States had not been seriously attacked in the past 100 years.
Matthew believed it to be true, but he didn't say it, he didn't say a word, and it was wisest to remain silent at this time.
Soon, someone took out his mobile phone and dialed it to confirm that what the assistant director said was the truth.
"Oh God"
"How so?"
"Is a world war about to break out?"
There was chaos in the crew, and most of the people took out their mobile phones to make calls, especially those with relatives and friends in New York.
Matthew also made two phone calls, one to Britney, his girlfriend, and the other to Helen Herman, an important business partner, to make sure they were safe.
Britney is filming an music video in the Irvine area of Orange County, and Helen Herman has just moved from Warner Studios to Angel Agency, all very far from the location of the incident in New York.
He then texted James McAvoy and Michael Fassbinder, who were soon back and apparently not in New York.
Then, Matthew put away his phone and acted as one of the countless ordinary bystanders like no one in the crew who had no relatives or friends in the Twin Towers.
As for taking advantage of this incident to get some benefits, forget it, first, he doesn't know how to fish, and secondly, he can realize that this kind of incident is not something that small people can mix.
It is impossible for the crew to shoot today, and although few relatives and friends happen to work at the World Trade Center like the assistant director's brother, the impact of this incident on most people, especially Americans, is still huge.
Not to mention that everyone panicked and wanted to work with peace of mind, but it was impossible.
Director Chakrasel simply announced that he would rest today and talk about work tomorrow.
Matthew can also see that most of the crew's minds have flown to Manhattan, New York, and they are no longer at work.
When he returned to the makeup trailer and came out after removing his makeup, he saw that many people were on the phone, even King Mira, who was British, and it seemed that he was not at ease if he did not confirm the whereabouts of his family.
"Who would have thought that would happen. Kelly Hu walked over at this time, her makeup trailer next to Matthew, "Fortunately, my family is in Hawaii." ”
She asked Matthew again, "You've called, you're not in New York, are you?"
"Family?" Matthew shook his head, "I don't have a family for a long time. I called a friend, and they weren't in New York. ”
"We're all very lucky. Hu Kaili said again at this time.
Matthew agrees, "People who aren't in New York are lucky. ”
Not in New York, not in Manhattan, this time is a kind of luck.
Even if you are far from the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, what kind of shadows and nightmares will be left behind when you see these two world-famous buildings collapse with your own eyes?
The two chatted for a while, and Matthew left to take a walk in the crew's towing workshop while thinking about 911.
What he remembers most clearly is that shortly after 911, the Washington authorities and George W. Bush determined that ** was behind the scenes, and then launched a war on terror that affected the whole world, and the situation of the whole world changed.
But what exactly has changed? He really can't say, anyway, the news he saw on the smartphone at that time was that the world situation had changed
A person who is running for a basic livelihood does not care much about this aspect of things, and for small people, the world is the same, and it is not as important as filling the stomach.
He looked at the sun in the sky, tried to remember the entertainment gossip he had watched, and gradually remembered a little related thing, it seems that after the 911 incident, black actors have become particularly active in Hollywood, and it seems that the first black Oscar actress is still an actor or something, and the use of black actors has gradually become Hollywood-style political correctness, and there is no major or positive black character in a big production, so it must be suspected of racial discrimination
In the future, Hollywood competition will be more intense, and I am afraid that many mainstream commercial films will no longer mind having black people as the protagonists, and maybe one day a black film with LGBT can easily win the Oscar for Best Picture.
Matthew shook his head and stopped thinking about it, whether it was white or black, whoever stood in his way was a bad person!
Then he remembered the impact of 911 on the place where he had lived.
The 911 incident was so famous that many people thought at the time that the American police deliberately chose this number as the police number after 911, but in fact, 911 is the police number that the American police have been using for a long time.
According to Matthew's guess, Uncle bin Laden and his world's number one underworld organization may have deliberately chosen this day to launch the attack.
Later, Matthew had his own trailer with satellite TV in it and saw more news about the 911 incident.
Anyway, Manhattan in New York looks really miserable.
The 911 incident has had a profound impact on the entire American society, Matthew lives on the Gobi Desert with the crew, although he can't feel it, but he can see its impact on the crew, after the crew starts work the next day, there are still some people who are uncertain and make frequent mistakes in their work, Chakrasell and Sean Daniel, who just rushed over, have no choice but to continue to give the crew a long vacation, and simply give the crew a long vacation.
Matthew didn't go to Los Angeles, went straight to the Irvine area to meet Britney, booked a room at the same hotel, stayed for six days, and returned to the Black Rock Desert region of Nevada the day before the end of the vacation to continue his role.
During these six days, he followed a lot of current affairs news, which is now almost entirely occupied by news related to 911, and he has also updated his blog post with a memorial post.
At the same time, it also paid attention to the film industry, and the occurrence of the 911 incident directly hit the film projection industry.
The entire North American box office has almost reached the lowest value in more than a decade in these six days, especially those films with heavy themes, all of which have been abandoned by the audience, and it seems that the 911 incident has made the psychological tolerance of North American audiences extremely fragile.
Matthew couldn't help but think of the Black Hawk Down film he was involved in, which is still in post-production and is expected to be released before the end of the year.
He subconsciously felt that there might be a problem with the box office of Black Hawk Fall, after all, this is a very cruel war movie, in which there are a large number of scenes of beautiful ** people being killed, after the 911 incident, can mainstream audiences psychologically accept such a film?
Matthew feels that the future is not very good, and that there may be a war on terror later, and the eyes and attention of the whole society will not leave the 911 incident, and the Black Hawk Fall may suffer a box office waterloo.
But this kind of thing is not under his control, the general trend of the whole society is like this, I am afraid that the film company can do nothing except postpone the release.
By the time they arrived in the Black Rock Desert, the crew was finally freed from that peculiar mixture of sadness, uneasiness, and inability to concentrate, and despite the occasional mistakes, the filming could be carried out.
And Matthew is still in good shape, there are relatively many times in terms of literary drama, but the shooting of action scenes is very smooth, and the time wasted in literary drama is often made up for through action scenes, and the crew has been advancing as planned.
Sometimes, Matthew also wonders, is there a kind of movie that fights from beginning to end, doesn't need to say many lines, and has an expression from beginning to end?
It seems that he is very suitable for this type of film.
It's a pity that there are too many action scenes, and the film is always considered a brainless movie by the media and critics.
Half a month later, the crew finished the location scene in the desert area and returned to Los Angeles to continue filming in Warner Studios.
The crew also launched a pre-promotional poster, on the main poster, other characters were removed, and the male protagonist was completely dominated by Matthew, and then embellished with the green leaf of Kelly Hu.
Originally, the poster was going to be launched in mid-September, because the 911 incident has been pressed until now.
"What about us? Didn't we have us on the poster in the first place?"
In a three-person dressing room, Clark Bernard stood there, his face as if he was angry, "Why don't you have us now? Why do you want to delete us?"
Davbilia spread his hand and shook his head again, "I don't know. ”
"I know!"
Steven Brand, who had been silent, suddenly said suspiciously, "I asked someone, it was Matthew Horner who put pressure on the crew through Helen Herman and removed us from the poster!"
Clark Bernard's eyes widened, "He's bullying!"
