Los Angeles, Wu Yuan's home.

"Hey, Matt, long time no see!"

"Haha, Daniel, seriously, I almost thought you cheated on me!"

Wu Yuan stood up, smiled and hugged Matt Damon, who had just entered the door.

"I didn't lie to you, didn't I already inform you in April?"

Matt Damon shook his head and said with a happy expression, "Oh, if you hadn't informed me at the time, I would have been making another movie right now." ”

Wu Yuan drew cakes with Matt Damon very early, saying that his next step is to come to the dock movie, and he wants to cooperate with Matt Damon.

Matt Damon is an honest man, the kind of honest man who is super rare in Hollywood.

He is really waiting for Wu Yuan, looking forward to cooperating with this top director of Hollywood.

Just waiting, he waited for more than a year.

In April of this year, a movie called "The Promised Land" came to the door and invited Matt Damon to star.

This is a film adapted from a documentary, and it is rushing for awards.

If it were a normal time, Matt Damon would definitely take this movie, he liked the script a lot.

It's just that at this time, Wu Yuan, who he had been waiting for a long time, contacted him again and asked him to vacate the schedule from October this year to January next year and prepare to join the group.

At the same time, the script of "The Martian" was also delivered to him.

Compared with the two, Matt Damon chose "The Martian" without hesitation!

This is a sci-fi blockbuster, and it is also a sci-fi blockbuster directed by Wu Yuan, and it has a great future!

"Believe me, Matt, this "The Martian" will become your masterpiece in the next ten years, and you won't lose by pushing off other movies."

Wu Yuan smiled and patted Matt Damon's shoulder, and led him to the living room to sit down before continuing to ask, "How is it, have you done everything you have done?" ”

"Of course." Matt Damon took the coffee from the servant, took a sip, and said, "I strictly complied with your request. ”

"In order to become a qualified astronaut role, I did a series of physical training every day, including strength exercises, running, and jumping rope."

"Do you need me to take off my clothes and show you?"

"Not really." Wu Yuan shook his head, reached out and pinched Matt Damon's biceps, it was really strong, and he was very satisfied.

Matt Damon's figure is one of the selling points in the movie.

And, he did need enough exercise to cope with the high-intensity filming of Interstellar.

The film wasn't really shot on Mars, and it doesn't have the light gravity of Mars.

Under the gravity of the earth, and really in the desert, wearing a spacesuit of more than 20 pounds for high-intensity shooting is not an easy task.

Yes, even if it's just a prop, it doesn't have the role of a real spacesuit, but the spacesuit prepared by the crew for Matt Damon is not light at all.

Perhaps for a real spacesuit, 20 pounds is already very light, and in space, weight does not seem to be the standard for measuring the quality of a spacesuit.

But on Earth, wearing a 20-kilogram suit for a film shoot is about the same intensity as a soldier's weight-bearing training.

Matt Damon has to be in good shape to be able to hold up!

"Daniel, I have a hunch that this film will be the hardest shooting in my film career." Matt Damon raised an eyebrow and teased with a smile: "Seriously, when I read the script, my first thought was very cool. ”

"But the second thought was that this movie was definitely going to be very difficult to make."

"Sure enough, when I saw the location you chose, I knew it was going to be a chore."

"Most of my scenes were filmed in the Jordanian desert, OMG, and that's scary."

"I specifically checked on the Internet, and even in October, the temperature in the Rose Desert in Jordan during the day is very scary."

"But you decided to shoot anyway, didn't you?" Wu Yuan said indifferently.

"Yes, I love the challenge." Matt Damon nodded and said with anticipation: "This is a movie with a super male lead, I like this kind of movie, it can fully show my acting skills." ”

"The Martian" is a movie that is rare to see in Hollywood.

It's not that Hollywood lacks this kind of blockbuster, and Hollywood doesn't lack a one-man show movie where actors sing big shows.

But in blockbusters with an investment of more than 100 million dollars, it is really rare to see a movie like "The Martian", where the actor's one-man show accounts for more than 80% of the whole film.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" is a group of three protagonists, and "Harry Potter" also revolves around the story of three teenagers and girls.

Even "Transformers", which mainly filmed the big machine tyrant, the protagonists are mainly starring Megatron and Optimus Prime.

Even in Wu Yuan's previous work of the same theme "Interstellar", the role of the male protagonist Cooper in the movie is back to the center, and his daughter and the female astronaut played by Liu Yifei are not light at all.

But "The Martian" is different, this movie is completely the adventure of the male protagonist Mark Watney alone.

The whole film revolves around Mark Watney, who was "discarded" on Mars by a person.

Although there are people on the earth who are trying to rescue him, the movie shows more of Mark Watney's self-rescue.

It can be said that the quality of this movie depends entirely on the performance of Matt Damon, the leading actor.

If he plays it well, then it will be a wonderful movie.

If he plays badly, then this movie will be completely ruined.

This is also why Wu Yuan boldly changed the actor when filming "Interstellar", but when preparing for "The Martian" this time, Matt Damon was set to play it early.

He can't guarantee that if such an important role is played by a different person, it will not be able to achieve the effect of Matt Damon's original version.

To be on the safe side, it's safer to let Matt Damon play it.

"Matt, it's all about your performance."

Wu Yuan said with a light smile: "I put all the treasure on you." ”

"If you act well, then this movie will be a brilliant success."

"If you don't act well, then this movie may become a Waterloo for both of us."

"Do you feel a lot of pressure?"

Matt Damon is not an actor who is afraid of pressure, and can be crushed by pressure.

He didn't look nervous at all, but easily lay down on the sofa cushion and crossed Erlang's legs, "Daniel, you've found the right person." ”

"The whole Hollywood, I dare say that apart from Leonardo, only I can act in this movie well."

"Even if you find Depp, he won't be able to play this movie well."

"Trust me, you made the right choice!"

"I heard you actually planted potatoes in the studio?"

"Can I go and see it?" (End of chapter)
