Chapter 468: The Girl in the Coffee Shop

Evelyn, played by Rachel Weisz, is on a long ladder in her first appearance, sorting out the shelves of the Museum of Antiquities in Cairo, Egypt.

As a librarian, she knows everything about books.

However, in terms of action, she is a somewhat clumsy girl.

She just wanted to use the long ladder to move directly from one bookshelf to another, but she didn't want the long ladder to move the way she expected, and stuck her in the middle.

And when she finally completed the move without danger, she suddenly ran into another bookshelf.

Then, the fallen bookshelf knocked down the next bookcase......

The bookshelves in the museum are like dominoes that have been toppled, one by one, falling one after another.

And the stunned Evelyn accidentally fell off the ladder and fell into the pile of books......

"When I was studying in Cambridge, I dreamed of being crushed to death by a pile of books, but I didn't expect to actually experience it in a movie!"

- Recalling the scene of her character's appearance, Rachel Weisz wanted to laugh a little.

Of course, the crew didn't really get a library and then tear down all the bookshelves in one fell swoop to shoot.

- That's too much trouble, and it's easy to lose books.

In fact, what they used was completely set up and props, and even a lot of mechanisms were set up on the fallen bookshelves - in fact, they were the steel wires in the entrance to control the speed and time of the bookshelves falling.

This part of the footage was actually shot in the UK.

After all, it's a shot inside the museum, and it doesn't involve the scenery from the outside!

What really needed to be shot on location in Morocco was mainly the part of the shot in the desert.

For example, some time ago, they have been filming Evelyn taking her brother Jonathan and O'Connor to excavate the ruins of Hamnat.

However, at present, they are mainly shooting some relatively small scenes.

Like a group of people, led by O'Connor, watching the ruins of Hamnut appear in the light of the morning sun, the footage has not yet been filmed.

"This shot is essentially a mirage-like phenomenon, and we thought about it when we chose the location – at a certain point in time, with the help of sunlight, we could shoot a similar effect directly. ”

- These are the exact words of Mr. Director.

As a result, the entire crew was filming on location while waiting for what director Charlotte called "a specific point in time".

Rachel doesn't really believe much about this.

After all, such a thing as a mirage is not something that can be controlled with a certain amount of scientific knowledge.

- It's easy to explain a mirage with science, but it's not so easy to make it.

If director Charlotte can create a mirage, then he should change his name to David Copperfield.

In contrast, Brandon Fisher, who partnered with Rachel and played O'Connor, was more confident in Mr. Director -

"Since the filming of "Fatal Bend", the director has been very good at grasping some of the characteristics of scenery in nature, and shooting some real scenes that we think must be made with special effects - since he said so this time, it should be no exception!"

When he said this, Brandon Fisher looked like he was very familiar with Mr. Director.

For this, Rachel occasionally wants to complain -

She knew that Brand Fisher had previously worked with director Charlotte on "Fatal Bend" and had been in constant contact with some of the people at Spectre Studios.

- This is also an important factor in his ability to become the male protagonist of "The Mummy".

But the problem is that, according to Rachel's understanding, Brand Fisher's role in "Fatal Bend" is just a trick.

- Is a character who dies in less than 30 seconds after the opening scene, and whose most important shot is the face of the corpse after death, really worth his bragging?

- It shouldn't be just a fleeting role, and I don't think I have received much guidance from Mr. Director, right?

Brandon Fisher refuted Rachel's question,

"The footage of me being thrown off a cliff after I died, we shot it for a whole day – my waist was almost broken by Wia's tightrope – that's why the opening scene of 'Deadly Corner' is so powerful. ”

“......”

In this regard, Rachel, who has watched "Fatal Bend", can't refute it.

However, she felt that since Brandon Fisher was so proud of the death role she had played, and now she played a role dealing with mummies, it was better to simply call him "the spokesman of the dead......

- As a sequel to Ender's Game, Orson Scott Card's Advocate for the Dead has been published for more than a decade.

Rachel had read the sci-fi work, which won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards in 1987, which is why she came up with such a nickname.

- However, she didn't know that the nickname she gave to Brand Fisher was, to a certain extent, the same name as the real "spokesman for the dead" Sean Bean, the real "spokesman for the dead......

Perhaps because she was enjoying her leisure time in a café, Rachel Weisz's mind was more divergent.

She was eating dates and her mind was so wild that when she saw Charlotte and Charlize outside the café through the window, she didn't even react for a moment.

"These two energetic guys!"

After reacting, Rachel immediately let out a curse similar to a spit in her heart.

If Rachel has any grievances against Charlotte as a director, that's it-

This is not to say that Rachel has any opinion on Mr. Director's disregard for his beauty and only cares about his beautiful girlfriend.

After all, even if she is ready to "dedicate herself to art", it is of course better if she can not "dedicate herself".

- Although this feeling of losing out on femininity does make Rachel feel a little complicated.

The real problem is that –

While everyone was dying in the desert sun on location, Charlotte and his girlfriend were still jealous.

During the few hours of rest in the middle of each day, the two of them would drive the crew's old-fashioned open-top jeep into the desert in the distance.

said that he went to see the scenery and went to sandboarding, but judging from the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them, the two of them must have done something else along the way.

— and that's against the scorching sun of the desert.

This adaptability to the heat is enough to make Rachel and others who are afraid of the scorching sun jealous.

What's even more depressing is that after playing like this for more than ten days, the complexion of these two people has not changed at all - let alone darkened, not even turned red from sunburn.

How exactly is this done?

At present, this can be said to be Rachel's biggest doubt in the filming of "The Mummy".

Although her doubts soon had one more - ()
