His career was just starting out, and Matthew's dedication was unquestionable. He came to Universal Studios early on the filming day, waiting in line to make a look. Since "Fast and Furious" is a modern drama, it didn't take a long time in this regard. At about 7:30, he left the dressing room and came to the studio.

In the studio, the director set up a shooting venue while directing the people. Today's shooting officially started at 8:30. Matthew sat and waited for a while at the rest. At around 8:00, several major actors, including Paul Walker, entered the studio one after another.

Paul Walker and other actors also came to the rest room. Since he was familiar with Matthew, he also introduced two actresses, Jordanna Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez.

Matthew didn't see Vin Diesel. The bald actor gave him a mysterious feeling, as if he was disdainful to be with other actors.

However, Vin Diesel will definitely appear today. The scene that Matthew will participate in is one of the few scenes in the film where the four protagonists appear in the same scene.

After chatting with Paul Walker, he also learned that today's scene was also the first scene filmed by Vin Diesel on the crew of "Fast and Furious".

"Time is coming." Paul Walker had a very time concept. He chatted for a while and reminded Matthew, "We should go and prepare."

Compared to Paul Walker, Matthew's preparations are very simple, just stand in the venue and act as the background painting of the four protagonists.

This role is very small. The reason why he participated in the audition was to increase his shooting and practical experience on the one hand. It was far from enough to learn theory and self-practice in the performance. On the other hand, he was able to earn a considerable salary.

Having said that, if it weren't for this income, let alone professional fitness and boxing training for Scorpion King, even the money for a tryst with Britney would be a problem.

In addition to Matthew, the actors who acted as background roles also had several other actors, under the command of an assistant director, quickly stood in their respective positions.

Director Robert Cohen also entered the filming venue, as if he wanted to remind several main actors about something.

"Well... why do you miss one person?" Rob Cohen found that only three of the four main actors came and asked loudly, "Where is Van Diesel?"

No one answered him.

Matthew looked around and saw Van Diesel's figure at all in the studio.

It was already 8:30, and there was still one starring role. Robert Cohen was quite annoyed, "Who knows where Van Diesel is?"

Still no one answered him.

Rob Cohen said to the assistant next to him, "Call Vin Diesel!"

But the assistant said weakly, "He doesn't have a cell phone."

"Then call his agent!" Rob Cohen shouted again.

The director did not say anything, and Matthew and the others had to continue waiting here. The assistant who was calling returned to Rob Cohen and whispered a few times. Rob Cohen was so angry that his face turned red.

From 8:30 to 8:45, the assistant director came over to inform the actors and asked the rest room to go back to the rest room first.

We waited until nine o'clock, and Van Diesel had not appeared yet. Dozens of people in front of and behind the crew were waiting for him alone.

"What are you doing!" Jordanna Brewster was obviously impatient, "Let's just wait like that?"

"F@#K!" Michel Rodriguez swears directly, "Didn't the mistball hit the car?"

Not to mention these two women, even Paul Walker, who has a good temper, was a little angry, "Does he understand the most basic respect?"

Matthew just listened and didn't say a word. He knew his weight very well, so it would be better to say less of these complaints.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the crew wanted to contact Van Diesel, but they could not reach it. It was not until half past nine that the strong man with a bald head walked into the studio.

"Vin Diesel's bastard is here."

When Matthew turned his head to see the voice of Michelle Rodriguez, he was indeed the bald man he remembered, but he was much younger.

Rob Cohen greeted him and asked, "Why did you come? You're late!"

"Oh..." Vin Diesel responded casually, without any lateness at all, and replied casually, "I slept in the car for a while."

Not to mention apologizing, he didn't even have any extra explanation, "Where is the makeup artist? I'm going to go to make up."

After saying that, he left the shooting site and went to the dressing room.

Director Rob Cohen was very angry, but didn't say anything else, just asked the crew to start preparing again.

It is obvious that Van Diesel doesn't care much about director Robert Cohen.

This was the first time Matthew saw this situation, and he couldn't help scratching his head and asked Paul Walker, "What's going on?"

Paul Walker shrugged, “That’s what I’m talking about.”

Jordanna Brewster on the other side also heard Matthew's words and whispered, "There is an investor behind Vin Diesel, and it is also a heavyweight who recommends to the crew."

Matthew nodded, and Michel Rodriguez interrupted, "I have heard people talk about him. This man has a bad reputation and is a famous shit-scratch on the set."

She asked Jordanna Brewster, "Your message is accurate?"

"It must be accurate!" Jordanna Brewster said without hesitation, "I came to the crew because of my father's investment, but my father's investment amount is very small."

These actors, including Matthew, talked for a while. Van Diesel returned to the set after finishing her look, and the filming finally began.

Subsequently, director Robert Cohen arranged specific moves, and another problem broke out.

"I think this kind of parallel positioning method is too mediocre." Vin Diesel is not a big star yet, but his style is very similar to A or even super A superstar. He bluntly said that he was dissatisfied with the moves designed by Robert Cohen, and said in a muffled voice, "The four actors can't highlight the key points at all!"

Rob Cohen was about to say something, but Van Diesel suddenly lowered his voice, reminding him, "Do you remember what I told you last week?"

The unspoken words were swallowed immediately, and the anger that Rob Cohen had originally pressed into his heart instantly dissipated. He remembered what producer Neil Moretz had reminded him, and even more remembered what Van Diesel had talked to him.

Van Diesel is planning a new project, a new type of agent film, and has reached a preliminary consensus with Sony Columbia Pictures. The other party intends to invite him to participate in the project and serve as the director of the film.

That project is different from this unpopular non-mainstream drag racing movie. It is a mainstream agent film, with an investment of up to 70 million US dollars!

Of course, Robert Cohen wanted to direct such a big production. After thinking for a while, he wanted to adjust the shooting position according to Vin Diesel's requirements.

Originally, the four main actors would appear in the camera in parallel, with two male characters standing in the middle, while Van Diesel had to lead the other three actors by one identity and highlight his leading role!

This demand naturally aroused the opposition of three actors Paul Walker, and the set was immediately in a dispute and the filming was unable to begin.

Matthew always stood behind and watched, anyway, his role was to act as a background board.

Soon, Vin Diesel asked producer Neil Moretz to suppress other people's objections.

The filming finally began, but the crew split on the third day after the filming started.

After the filming of the day, Matthew understood that there was wealth behind Van Diesel, and no one else could fight against it.

The next day, the shooting continued.

The original filming plan for the crew in the morning was to first shoot the opposite scene between Paul Walker and Vin Diesel, and then under the same scene conditions, shoot an action scene between the character played by Ma Sheh and Vin Diesel.

But after everyone arrived, Vin Diesel did not come again.

This time it was even more excessive than before, and it didn't appear until 10 a.m.

Not to mention others, even Matthew, who thought he didn't need to fight on the crew, was so angry that he was waiting.

Seeing that the shooting was not started for a while, Matthew, Paul Walker and others simply asked their assistants to bring their phones, turn on the phone and call it to silent mode, and play games to pass the time.

Although he can only play Tetris, he is better than sitting here. After playing for less than five minutes, Matthew suddenly called his phone, and it was Britney's phone call.

This is a studio, and it is very inconvenient to answer the phone. He first cut off the phone and said to his assistant, "I'll make a call. If you have something to do, go outside the studio and call me."

"Go!" Paul Walker waved at Matthew, "My scene has not been filmed yet, I guess your scene will not be filmed in the morning."

Matthew smiled, left the studio and dialed Britney's number.

The sun was quite fierce at around 10 o'clock. The exit of the studio was in the south, and the front was full of sunlight, which was very hot. Matthew looked at it and found a black nanny car parked under the palm tree fifty meters away on the right. The nanny car blocked some shade and hurried over.

"Is there anything wrong, my dear?" Matthew stood in the shade on the side of the co-pilot of the nanny's car. There was no one here, and there was no need to lower his voice when speaking. "Why call me at this time?"

"I'm leaving Los Angeles in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Matthew unconsciously raised his voice, "What? Wouldn't you leave next week?"

"The itinerary has changed temporarily. The company contacted a TV station for an exclusive interview. I couldn't help it..." Britney's voice was very low, "I won't talk about it for now, I'll pack my luggage."

Matthew had to hang up the phone and stayed with Britney for a month, and was about to separate again. It was definitely fake to say that he was not depressed, so he couldn't help but gently pound the nanny car behind him!

Bang—

The nanny car made a light sound.

"Who?" The co-pilot of the nanny's car was suddenly pulled away from the inside, revealing a bald head, "Which bastard smashes my car!"
