On the set, Matthew tied up Anne Hathaway, found another rope, tied it to the legs of the chair, and walked towards the window, as if he was going to take a rope down through the window.

When he walked away, all Anne Hathaway, who was originally blocking him, was exposed.

Ken Watanabe stood on the front of Anne Hathaway, and could see clearly the style and techniques of binding Matthew to Anne Hathaway.

"Too simple, too rough, too careless!"

Looking at Anne Hathaway tied with a rope, Ken Watanabe shook his head, "These Americans are too unpretentious, there is no artistic content in this bundle!"

Think about his country's peers, and then look at Matthew Horner's bondage. The difference between the two is too far. Matthew Horner is at best at kindergarten.

It should have been a lens that was artistic, but it turned out to be the messy look now.

Unfortunately, he is not a director, otherwise he would have to stop shooting and let Matthew Horner go and see works such as Flowers and Snakes.

Director Christopher Nolan was very satisfied with the camera. After calling for a stop to shoot, he announced that the camera was passed directly, and then turned to a wall next to him to shoot.

This time it was replaced by Matthew's one-man show.

"I'll do my last check!"

The crew's stunt coach stood next to Matthew and personally inspected the safety facilities on Matthew, "It takes two minutes."

Matthew stood on the lifting platform and didn't speak. He asked the special stunt guide to check the safety rope and strap again. Then he put on a suit jacket, took another rope, and as he rehearsed, he pulled the rope with both hands, kicked the special wall with extremely strong friction, and slowly crawled down.

Climbing near a window, he raised a thumb to Christopher Nolan with his back, and Christopher Nolan immediately announced the start of filming.

Matthew's palms were extremely powerful, and his hands were covered with rough calluses that were grinding out from years of training. Such rope drops were not difficult for him. He first practiced the harder rope drops when filming "Black Hawk Down". Last year, he also had related training during the preparations for "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra".

In this scene, he had to take a close-up shot on the spot.

Matthew continued to slowly go down, and walked to the agreed position, and prepared in advance.

Next, this is the most difficult part of this scene.

The originally tight rope suddenly loosened, as if the chair at the other end of the rope suddenly lost its weight.

Matthew fell rapidly, about three or four meters down, and the rope was tightened again. His hands were strong enough and a safety wire rope was used as an auxiliary. He glared on the wall with both feet, and with the force of rebounding, he stabilized his body that was constantly spinning.

Then, his face tense and he looked up.

Of course there was a camera lens above, but Matthew seemed to have seen only endless darkness, his face quickly calmed down. He grabbed the rope with both hands and kicked the wall with his feet. From falling from rope to climbing upwards, climbing to a glass window, and then stopped.

He didn't actually spend much effort with a safety rope hanging.

Matthew climbed up the windowsill, cut open the glass, and got into the window.

Director Christopher Nolan shouted to stop and he unbuttoned the hook of the safety rope, bent over and walked through the passage behind the window, and the lifting platform was waiting here.

When he got on the lift, someone came to help take off his suit jacket and unbuttoned the strap hidden under the jacket.

Matthew moved his arms, and his arms were a little sore. He rode down the lift platform to the ground. The crew briefly entered the rest stage. Christopher Nolan walked over and sat on the chair next to Matthew. He took this time to explain the next key points to Matthew.

"You are in great shape today, very good."

It was obvious that Christopher Nolan was happy with Matthew's performance, "You continue to do the best you can."

A makeup artist was repairing Ma Xiu's makeup. Matthew was speechless and had to nod his head slightly.

Christopher Nolan continued, "But one thing, you need to strengthen it."

After finishing the makeup artist, Matthew turned his head and looked at Christopher Nolan and asked curiously, "Which side?"

To be honest, the shooting has been going on for a while, and he always felt that he was performing well.

This is not a feeling of goodness in one's own opinion, but also a common view of many people on the crew, including Christopher Nolan himself.

Although his acting skills are not as outstanding as the academics, his ten years of entry and his role in many major productions have given him considerable experience and profound accumulation of background.

The role of Daum Cobb is not as difficult as expected.

Matthew knew very well that this was the result of filming one movie after another, and through field shooting on set and performances in front of the camera, he temporarily felt that Daum Cobb's role was a little simpler than Robert Neville.

The one-man show in the doomsday world is much harder than the bitter and hatred of Daum Cobb.

"The whole video is absurd." Christopher Nolan never hides this, saying, "but the style of the film is mainly realistic, and all your scenes, especially your performance, must meet the requirements of realism."

Matthew nodded slightly, "I understand."

Christopher Nolan's words continued, "not only do we look realistic, but also make the audience feel that these dreams are reality." He said while gesturing, "The scene design of the film is very absurd. If you want the audience to experience the reality of the dream, the performance of the actor, especially the performance of you, the male protagonist, is very important."

Matthew thought for a while and said, "That is, let the audience determine that dreams are real through the role."

"That's right," Christopher Nolan said, "At the end of the day, we think that dreams are real when we dream."

Matthew felt that the latter sentence sounded a little familiar, and suddenly remembered it, isn’t this the line in the script?

Christopher Nolan looked at the time and stood up and said, "You've done a great job, much better than I expected, but you can do it better! You have to put away all the exaggerated things in the show and make this character a person with real feelings."

He stressed again, "Doom Cobb is not a character, but a person who actually exists on the set."

Matthew didn't say anything, but nodded solemnly.

Christopher Nolan then left and went to the director's monitor.

Sitting here, Matthew seriously considers Christopher Nolan's words, how can he make his performance more realistic?

Perhaps this will stump others, but he has fully studied the films that Christopher Nolan has turned to the mainstream commercial film industry since "Batman: The Moment of War". Whether it is "The Deadly Magic" or two brand new Batman movies, they undoubtedly have extraordinary realistic colors.

No one can deny that the comic sci-fi color of "Dark Knight" has become very faint.

What is the performance style of these typical Christopher-Nolan-style realist commercial films?

Matthew has his own experience and great grudges!

Therefore, in the subsequent performance, his emotions and expressions continued to strengthen in the direction of deep hatred.

In this regard, not only does he need to work hard in performance, but also the cooperation of the crew's technical department, especially the makeup and photography department.

In the subsequent shooting, Matthew made a request to Christopher Nolan to see the shots that were finished.

Generally speaking, Hollywood directors rarely allow actors to watch the shots through the shooting, which can effectively reduce disputes between directors and main actors.

For example, the director took a shot that he was very satisfied with, but the starring actor thought it was not handsome enough...

In most cases, actors with insufficient cards are difficult to compete with directors.

However, Christopher Nolan is not an ordinary director, and Matthew is no longer an ordinary actor. This request quickly became a reality.

Of course, Matthew only looked at it and basically did not express his opinions.

Realism is very important for photography and all aspects of this film. Nolan does not want the dream passage to reflect the feeling of being beyond reality, and wants the dream shots to be as reliable as the real world.

In this film, sometimes the characters don't know that they are seeing dreams, so the visual connection between reality and dreams must be traceless, unless there are certain specific points. Christopher Nolan wants the audience to know the difference. In most cases, the sense of reality in the film comes from the environment, not photography skills.

According to Christopher Nolan to him, by maintaining a sense of realisticity, when needed, it can create a subtle feeling of strangeness or uneasiness without bringing the audience out of the story.

Also, Christopher Nolan always tries to keep the shots from being too complicated.

The structure of this story looks quite complicated, but with the shooting, Matthew could see that Christopher Nolan did not like complicated lenses.

It seems that his secret is to work as simple and fast as possible.

There is another scene this afternoon. The crew switched to the 11th venue to film. Daum Cobb, played by Ma Xiu, stepped back and fell into a bathtub filled with water. His dream was awakened...

Matthew fell into the bathtub and his whole body was soaked. Fortunately, he would take a photo once and don't have to do it again.

His scene today ended. He went to the dressing room to remove makeup and change his clothes, and came back to continue watching the crew filming.

Although it is impossible to be a director in this life, he is determined to be a gold medal producer who can make a lot of money and watch everything on the set seriously.

Seeing Anne Hathaway filming Mel's scene, Matthew suddenly remembered an analysis after watching the online pirated version of "Inception".

I have long forgotten the specific content, and I only vaguely remember that the man said that the whole movie was a dream, a wonderful dream that Cobb had on the way home. The so-called story of his wife, his crime, the dream intruder, were all things in the dream and had nothing to do with reality.

Just as Matthew was thinking about it, a staff member came over.
