Chapter 686 Dedicated good actor

The sun hangs in the clear sky, illuminating the entire glacier, but snowflakes fall in the sky. The whistling cold wind mixed with fine snow particles rages on the Vatna Glacier, making this white world even whiter.

Matthew lives in Los Angeles all year round and is not used to such cold weather.

In fact, when filming the night scene of the Brooklyn Bridge in "I Am Legend", he had an instinctive repulsion to the cold.

However, according to the shooting requirements, he lay motionless in the snow, as if part of the ice and snow.

With a super high pay, of course, you have to do your part. Matthew's professionalism has nothing to say even the most picky people in the crew.

**The camera slid over the laid guide rails. Two fully armed Cobra soldiers with eyes exposed came. Just as they were taken away from the disguise, Matthew suddenly jumped up from the snow surface, stirring up snowflakes all over the sky. Just when the snowflakes were still falling, the prop "dagger" in his hand had pierced into the throat of the Cobra soldier behind.

The Cobra soldier plopped into the snow.

The Cobra soldier in front turned his head and looked back. Matthew pulled out the dagger as fast as possible and threw it out. The Cobra soldier covered the unprotected throat. A princess sounded from his throat, and then he fell to the ground.

Then, Matthew seemed to hear something, and immediately lay down on the ground without moving. After a few seconds, after confirming that there was no danger, he ran towards the front.

"ut!" Stephen Somos exhaled a breath, "Matthew, good job! This one has passed!"

Matthew stopped and untied the white cloak as soon as possible. Two assistants rushed over. One took the cloak and then put on a thick wool blanket. The other immediately handed the thermos over.

After taking the thermos cup and taking a sip of hot tea, Matthew felt a little warmth. He just lay on the snow and his hands and feet were almost cold and unconscious.

Director Stephen Somos' voice sounded again on the outdoor set, "Replace now and go to the ice to shoot! Quick!"

Immediately, two deputy directors directed the crew to transfer equipment and rushed to the glacier ten kilometers away.

Matthew ignored the others, wrapped in a blanket and holding a hot thermos, and got into the warm special trailer. If he could, he would not want to stay in the snow outside for a minute.

But as soon as the crew arrived near the ice, he got out of the car and started filming.

Some things are OK to think about, but if you really want to stay in the trailer and not come out, that would be a joke.

Of course, not every Hollywood actor is so dedicated. There are many actors in this circle who are so dedicated to him and Tom Cruise, and there are also many unemployed actors.

For example, the problematic girl Lindsay Lohan in Hollywood now has rarely ever dared to invite her. In the words of Fox executives, "From the moment she arrived on the set, she did nothing but hindered the filming process. She just sat in her trailer and spent time... until she was about to go to her boyfriend's concert, and everyone on the set became her hostage."

Matthew naturally would not fall to this level, nor would he compare with people like Lindsay Lohan. It is not that the status difference is too big, but that the development routes of both sides are completely different.

In essence, he and Lindsay Lohan are both commercial stars, but he is a recognized actor, while Lindsay Lohan can only be classified as a youth idol.

In the words of the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Lindsay Luohan is a traffic-like young actress and a young man.

Even in Hollywood, the crew will not ask young idols to be very dedicated. After all, their shelf life is too short and they often pass by like a meteor.

Of course, these qualities of dedication are important, but the most important thing is the quality of the work. Nowadays, young idols are always dedicated to their work, and how hard they work. As a result, the work is so embarrassing. What’s even more terrifying is that they always use modesty, low-key and politeness as selling points.

If you are positioned as an idol, it would be fine to use these qualities other than acting skills as selling points, but what is annoying is that you are speculating on things other than acting skills all day long, and you will make yourself like a powerful actor or even a superstar all day long.

As Tom Hanks said, the existence of youth idols is certainly reasonable.

Just pay attention to the road that goes one side to the sky, stand in your own position, and do not jump out and shoot movies randomly when your strength is not up to standard. You can understand it two or three times. Don’t blame the audience for scolding you every time you make a fuss.

Speaking of which, when Wang Matthew was interviewed, he rarely talked about the hardships of filming. In his words, "Which industry and which industry are not hard?"

Compared to the industry he once worked in, the profession of actor is really easy, and the harvest is too abundant...

Looking around, it was full of forests, just waiting for him to cut down one by one.

Thinking of his youth idol, Leonardo DiCaprio's name couldn't help but jump into Matthew's mind. A beautiful young man named Jack has been working hard for more than ten years and has become a wilderness hunter who eats raw meat and drinks blood, just for an Oscar...

When an actor gets money from acting, he should do his job well. This position is based on competition. In other words, before acting, you should think about whether to act. If you break a little, you will praise him. Although the actors are fragile, the people who praise him are also extremely bored.

Matthew got off the makeup trailer and stood in front of the ice. Sienna Miller walked over from behind and stood beside him.

She was wearing a black leather jacket under the coat outside. She only wore such a dress when shooting, and it looked cold.

However, Sienna Miller didn't say much except for a few complaints in private, and would not let anyone put up a dozen air heaters in the snow and ice.

"You're afraid of the cold," she said to Matthew.

The two have filmed more than a dozen scenes in the snow, and this can still be seen.

Matthew shrugged, "I grew up in Texas and went to Los Angeles and was not used to the weather in the north."

"It's a hell of weather." Sienna Miller wrapped her coat tightly, "I guess I'll get sick after I finish the filming."

Matthew nodded, "I'm about the same."

He turned to look at the ice. Stephen Somos was doing the basic arrangement before shooting. Although there were snowflakes in the sky, the bright sun was always hanging in the sky. It matched the bright tone of the film and was simply a natural background board.

Although the environment in Iceland is not bad compared to the Arctic scenes in the film, it is not suitable for long-term shooting. Stephen Somos has made a closer plan to strive to leave Iceland as soon as possible.

It is already mid-November now. If it is delayed for a period of time, Iceland will completely enter winter, and many equipment may have problems operating.

The crew was very efficient. After the equipment and on-site adjustments were completed, Matthew and Sienna Miller walked onto the ice.

As soon as he stepped onto the ice, Matthew reached out and grabbed Sienna Miller and said, "Wait!"

Sienna Miller asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Matthew pulled her back, then stretched out his feet and stepped on the ice, and a slight clicking sound continued.

Sienna Miller's face changed, "Is this the sound of the ice breaking?"

She has always accepted various filming arrangements from the crew, but it does not mean she has to take risks with her life.

"It should be." Matthew didn't go to see Stephen Somos, and stepped on it a few more times, and another slight click sounded.

This sound is not loud, but it can be easily caught by human ears.

Stephen Somos came over at this time, "What's going on?"

One executive producer of the crew said, "There is a sound of breaking the ice."

"What's going on?" Stephen Somos asked this time that he was a staff member who was familiar with the environment provided by Iceland.

The staff member explained calmly, "This is the characteristic of the Vatner Glacier. Many ice layers will make such sounds when they step on it, but they will never really crack. I can guarantee it!"

The liaison officer sent by the Icelandic government to the crew also came over and after inquiring about the situation, he also promised, "This ice lake often welcomes tourists. It's early winter again, so there is absolutely no problem."

After saying that, he took the lead in walking onto the ice, and another staff member also walked up there. The two of them also made large-scale actions such as jumping.

They often receive tourists and are experienced in this area.

Although the slight crackling sound continued, the ice layer was obviously very strong and showed no sign of breaking.

Matthew also walked onto the ice carefully and did some fighting movements, and it felt like there was no problem.

The shooting began immediately, and the scenes of the Duke and the Baroness were filmed here. He and Sienna Miller were going to make some difficult moves on the ice.

Fortunately, there are also special stunt stand-in, and some real difficulty non-frontal shots, so you don’t want the two of you to appear in person.

Each action scene was divided into countless fragments to shoot, and this scene between Matthew and Sienna Miller was no exception. The two fought and stopped and continued to shoot until the afternoon.

Both of them have very good physical fitness. Matthew has maintained free fighting training all year round, Sienna Miller has been in good fitness for a long time, and has conducted a surprise special training for half a month before shooting.

Although the filming and shooting stops and the stunt stand-in is constantly changing, the progress of this scene is generally quite smooth.

Unexpectedly, the wind on the glacier suddenly became stronger, but Stephen Somos insisted on filming this scene. When the crew packed up their equipment and prepared to evacuate, the measured wind speed had reached 60 mph, and some crew members were even blown to the ground by the strong wind...

Matthew and Sienna Miller left the ice and walked towards the trailer. Because the trailer was far away, the two walked very slowly against the wind.

The wind was getting heavier and snowflakes were mixed in between. Matthew grabbed Sienna Miller's arm and pushed her forward.

"My trailer is close!" he shouted in Sienna Miller's ear, "Go to me first!"

Only a few dozen meters away, the two of them walked for three minutes before they arrived. When they entered Matthew's trailer, the sound of wind whimpered.

"Don't go out." Matthew found a blanket and handed it to Sienna Miller, "Let's be with me for the time being."

Sienna Miller nodded when he heard the wind, "I don't want to be blown by the cold wind anymore."
