The studio at Warner Studios was dim, and Matthew stood with his back to the main camera, as if he was busy. Then Emma Roberts slowly walked into the set, just as he could see the edge of the main camera lens. He looked at Matthew's back curiously and walked slowly towards the other side.

"Cobb, what are you doing?" she asked, "You want to enter the dream alone?"

As if someone had discovered the secret, Matthew quickly turned his head and denied it, "No, no..." He shook his head and said, "I'm just doing some experiments, but I didn't expect there were people here, so..."

He looked at Emma Roberts' petite figure, his eyes in the dark looked particularly bright, and he blinked a few times unconsciously, "Why are you here?"

Christopher Nolan looked at the flashing scene. There was obviously something wrong with the lighting tuning of the lighting master. Matthew's eyes were not well-made. The eyes just now were too bright, which made the actor blink his eyes unconsciously several times.

However, he did not call for a stop and was still asking the two actors on the set to continue.

"Oh, sorry," Emma Roberts said embarrassedly at first, then looked down at the gadget in his hand, then picked it up and shook it at Matthew, "Actually, I'm working on my dream totem."

The light on the opposite side lit up again. Due to the dazzling relationship, Matthew blinked unconsciously again, but he still picked up his pocket and walked towards Emma Roberts, "What is this? Adnie, I'll take a look for you."

Emma Roberts moved very quickly, immediately put the gadget in his pocket and said, "You can only know what you said."

Matthew stopped and smiled, "You learn very quickly."

Emma Roberts stood opposite Matthew, probably the highlight of Matthew's tall figure, and she looked very petite and delicate.

"This way of distinguishing dreams from reality is very elegant." Emma Roberts imitated Matthew, picked up his pockets, and asked again, "Is this your idea?"

Matthew's face became a little darker and his voice became low, "This is Mel's idea."

Speaking of this, he took out a gyro from his pocket, slowly placed it in his palm, quickly raised his palm, placed it in front of Emma Roberts, and explained in a low voice, "This gyro will not fall once it rotates in a dream."

Emma Roberts looked at the top curiously and reached out to take it. He felt something was wrong in the middle and his hand shrank back.

Matthew didn't mind either, so he walked to the table next to him and gently turned the top, "In the dream, the top kept turning."

Emma Roberts nodded first, then asked, "I heard from Arthur that Mel died?"

Matthew didn't want to mention it, so he asked instead, "How is the maze design?"

The lights on the opposite side lit up again at this time. Several consecutive dazzling lights illuminated, and Matthew's eyes became more and more uncomfortable. However, as an actor, his acting skills may not be very good, but his literacy is very high. The director has been holding back his performance before he called for a stop.

Just as he was about to continue speaking the lines, director Christopher Nolan's voice came over, "Stop! Stop!"

The director called for a stop, and the crew instantly ended the shooting status.

Christopher Nolan said to Matthew and Emma Roberts, "It's not your problem." He then said to the other side, "Southgate, come here! How did you adjust the light of the eyes I just gave Matthew? It's so bright!"

Movies can also be said to be a photochemistry dream, and the requirements for light are very complex. Although many lights can be adjusted in post-production, the light used for shooting on site is also extremely important.

Someone came to Matthew with a makeup artist to wipe his sweat. Matthew pointed at his eyes and said, "Pull it lightly."

After being shaken by the dazzling lights, his eyes felt a little uncomfortable. He changed a special wet wipe with the makeup artist and wiped it gently for a few times. Only then did he feel better.

Emma Roberts came over and asked with concern, "Is it okay?"

Matthew blinked and said with a smile, "A little problem, it's okay now."

"I just thought the director called the stop, it was because of our performance." Emma Roberts stood next to Matthew, probably as tall as his shoulders. "This role is much harder than shooting a youth idol film."

Matthew didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

Emma Roberts asked curiously, "This script is very complicated, layer by layer, and it makes people dizzy. I still haven't figured it out."

"Actually, I didn't understand." Matthew shrugged, "and was also confused."

If he hadn't watched a movie before and only read the script, he wouldn't have figured it out, and the images are often much more direct than words.

Of course, except for those films that always like to make some inexplicable directors.

"But I think you're very confident." Emma Roberts was even more curious, "Do you have a trick?"

Matthew shook his head slowly, "There is no trick." He thought for a moment and said, "I just don't care what the whole story tells, just what Cobb needs to express in this scene."

Christopher Nolan asked him and Anne Hathaway to form a couple on set and some life, but when he left the set, he dealt with a lot of things and basically never performed with Anne Hathaway outside of life.

Originally, Oscar Night was about to reach the stomach, but Harvey Weinstein jumped out to make trouble, and the fat man scared away the fence-like Anne Hathaway.

He was not surprised by this. After all, Anne Hathaway had done similar things twice. When the first liar's boyfriend and the second oil painting thief's boyfriend had an accident, she left herself completely in the fastest way.

"Is that simple?" Emma Roberts asked again.

Matthew finished his random thoughts and said, "The premise is that I have established enough emotional connections with Daum Cobb."

Seeing Emma Roberts looking curious, taking advantage of director Christopher Nolan and the lighting engineer to solve the problem of lighting, Matthew simply said a few more words.

This will also establish a good image on Emma Roberts.

"I want to grasp the emotions and motivations of the male protagonist Daum Cobb. He planned the whole action for what?" Matthew spread his hands and whispered, "It's not as simple as just getting financial rewards."

Emma Roberts nodded slightly, "My character, motive is not money either."

Matthew smiled, "Actually, look at the clown and then look at the motivations of successful characters that can be widely circulated, all have nothing to do with money."

"Oh?" Emma Roberts thought about it for a while, and finally said slowly, "It seems like this is really the case."

Matthew also said, "The power and infectiousness of emotions are always greater than money in movie roles. Although I am not a father, I know very well the status of my home and children in the minds of most people in the world. This is a value that is common to the world. Cobb's biggest motivation is to go home and he must correct his life and return to his family."

Emma Roberts gently pinched his small chin, "It seems a bit vulgar."

"This kind of emotion and motivation seems particularly vulgar." Matthew first agreed, and then said, "but it is the highest emotion in human beings."

Not only did he have to grasp the role, just as Christopher Nolan designed action scenes specifically for Dom Cobb, the crew also asked several screenwriters to adjust Cobb's lines and even behaviors according to some of his own habits and qualities, so as to analyze, deconstruct and reorganize these analysis, deconstruct and reorganize them into part of the movie.

This is to make the character Daum Cobb more in line with him, make him look more realistic, and make the audience feel more appropriate.

Of course, others cannot enjoy this kind of treatment, and among all the actors in the crew, only Matthew is the only one with this qualification.

To be honest, the script design looks much more complicated than the films he has seen before. Not to mention Emma Roberts and other actors, even Christopher Nolan himself is a bit messy.

Matthew had enough communication with Christopher Nolan and knew a lot about his work.

When planning the specific shooting plan, perhaps because of the influence of the plot, Nolan made the plan a bit complicated, and even he was a little dizzy.

He drew exaggerated charts and timelines on the drawing board, trying to mark where the transition took place in the movie, for weeks, in Nolan's words, he felt like he was just slamming his head on the drawing board.

Christopher Nolan's adjustments were completed, and the shooting began immediately. However, today it seems that the years are not good, and the next shooting situation is frequent. A morning has passed, and only two shots have been taken.

In the afternoon, James McAvoy and Anne Hathaway also joined the filming.

The crew's shooting in Los Angeles, except for a train hitting the streets, the rest will be completed at Warner Studios, and then they will go to Paris, Canada, London, Monaco and Tokyo to shoot respectively.

Six countries and six different cities, this is also the film starring Matthew that involves the most outdoor shooting venues.

In addition, perhaps out of confidence in him and Christopher Nolan, Warner Bros. invested an additional $40 million in Inception while filming the film, thus increasing the production budget of the film from $160 million to $200 million.

The production budget is more adequate, which is also good news for the entire project.

The crew's filming in the Los Angeles studio lasted only more than ten days. Except for a few scenes with Emma Roberts, Matthew was the opening scene in the script, which is where Cobb looked for Saito.
Chapter completed!
