At the end of January, after more than a month of shutdown due to a set accident, "Special Forces 2: A Comprehensive Counterattack" finally got rid of all kinds of troubles and resumed shooting in the hangar studio of the Burbank Hughes Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

The reason why it took so long is mainly the main problem of the major unions in Hollywood.

Hollywood unions charge three percent of their annual income as membership fees every year. Of course, they do not only charge money but do not do things. In fact, they protect the rights and interests of their members very comprehensively.

Speaking of which, since Matthew involved investment and production, his dislike of being the union is the union, and he often causes trouble for the crew due to some minor problems. Moreover, there are more than one such union, and the number of jobs in the crew is as high as the number of unions.

Not to mention anything else, the truck drivers who provide delivery services to the crew have a movie and theater truck workers' union behind it.

Of course, the most annoying thing about the union is organizing people to strike.

Not only Matthew, I believe all investors have a headache about this.

Often, Hollywood unions organize strikes and are likely to really turn into strikes.

The most typical example is that the last major strike organized by the screenwriter trade union had about 12,000 members. Everyone voted to stop and could always vote for the strike. Why? Because there are 12,000 screenwriters, most of the time, only more than 1,000 people have work to do, and the remaining more than 10,000 people have no work to do anyway, so they stay at home, and then they say that they can go on strike.

Such a serious set accident occurred, and it seemed that only the Props Union was investigating. In fact, many unions put pressure on the crew. The crew had to sort out all the links from beginning to end, submit reports to the major unions, and drag them down until now.

Needless to say, the production cost of "Special Forces 2: Comprehensive Counterattack" has invisibly increased by more than 10 million US dollars.

After the shooting resumed, Stephen Somos also accelerated the shooting pace and tried to make the film complete the shooting as planned.

“Eliminate all unnecessary movements.”

On the set, the action guide said to Matthew and Dwayne Johnson, "You are the most powerful soldiers. Every time you take action, you are deadly. You are all aiming at the other party's vitals and showing the beauty of your power!"

Matthew nodded slightly, "No problem."

Dwayne Johnson smiled, "Okay."

The action guide gave detailed instructions on the key points of the next action scene and then left.

"I haven't seen each other for a few years." Matthew looked at Dwayne Johnson, "Dawn, you're stronger than before."

The two have worked together on "National Treasure" before and are considered familiar.

Dwayne Johnson showed a honest smile, "There is no way, I play all the roles the same, I can only find a way in my figure."

Matthew no longer said these things that have nothing to do with work, and discussed with Dwayne Johnson to the next opponent.

In fact, he didn't expect that due to personal problems with the crew, the crew temporarily replaced the actors of the Cobra Fireflies. The new actor was Dwayne Johnson in front of him.

Perhaps influenced by him, Dwayne Johnson's development was not very smooth, and he can barely be said to be a second-rate star.

The filming began soon, and with director Stephen Somos' order, Matthew and Dwayne Johnson started.

Both Matthew and Johnson are typical tough guys, and their action scenes also represent the action design style of the whole film. When these two people start to fight, they do not have the elements of adulterating and half-dance dancing, and they are all explosive and beautiful in power.

Of course, the actions are basically pre-designed.

The action scene ends with Matthew throwing Dwayne Johnson on the mat on the floor with a shoulder throw.

The size of Dwayne Johnson made him fall down without much effort. Although Johnson cooperated, his power has always been very strong.

As he grows older, especially after he reaches thirty, his body inevitably decays, and Matthew is no exception, but his decay speed is very slow, far lower than that of ordinary people.

“See what’s going on now.”

On a high platform not far from the shooting set, Brian Goldno, a representative from Hasbro, said to Lorenzo Bonaventura of Paramount Pictures, "Matthew Horner is still the same Matthew Horner. With his skills, he will probably be able to play for another ten years."

Lorenzo Bonaventura echoed, "Although this guy is a vampire, his business influence cannot be denied."

Brian Goldno sighed, "The pay for this movie is $20 million plus 20% of the global box office share. What should we do with the next sequel?"

Lorenzo Bonaventura fell silent. "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" was sold well from the box office to the surrounding areas. In order to retain Matthew Horner and his commercial appeal, Paramount and Hasbro had to increase their bargaining chips to comprehensively increase Matthew Horner's pay and share ratio.

As long as "The Comprehensive Counterattack" is successful, at least one-third of the film's profit will be taken away by Matthew Horner alone.

This made Paramount Pictures and Hasbro very heartbroken and helpless.

"We really should let the Duke die." Brian Goldnow's words represent Hasbro's opinion, "The company has a lot of opinions on Matthew Horner's high pay."

Lorenzo Bonaventura shook her head, "It's really unnecessary." He explained again, "Matthew Horner's appeal is unparalleled. It seems that we are going to be divided by him to get a large proportion of the income, but don't forget that countless Hollywood cases prove again and again, whether there is Matthew Horner's film box office and peripheral income are completely different. "Cloud Map" and "Alien Battlefield" are the best proof."

Brian Goldno didn't speak.

"Not to mention the mysterious and mysterious films of "Cloud Map" that deliberately seek death." Lorenzo Bonaventura continued, "Just talking about "Alien Battlefield", compared with "The Rise of Cobra", is the quality of the two films really as big as the box office gap?"

He didn't need Brian Goldnow to answer, and said to himself, "It's nothing more than the protagonist of "Alien Battlefield" Brad Pitt, and the actor of "The Rise of Cobra" is Matthew Horner."

Brian Goldno shook his head, "There are always people in the company that are unwilling to give up."

Lorenzo Bonaventura said with disdain, "Short-sighted! They don't think about whether it is a high profit to share a $1 billion revenue, or a high profit to share a $300 million?"

This kind of arithmetic problem seems extremely simple, but not everyone can figure it out in the face of interests.

The filming on the set began again, and the two stopped talking.

Gunshots and explosions sounded again, and Matthew and Dwayne Johnson started a fight again, still fighting with bare hands.

The action design of this video is derived from Gipsy Casey's fighting technique, from the punch to the flesh.

Casey's fighting technique originated from soldiers and pays more attention to practicality. It is designed for fighting that meets the inability of the human body. It is itself positioned as a practical battle.

The system is simple in technology and has strong practicality, with a large number of hands, head hammers and elbow strikes and other actions.

Compared to others, this is more in line with the styles of Matthew and Dwayne Johnson.

The action scene that Matthew had the most profound impression on him came from the "Superman: Man of Steel" that he once watched. The film made the fighting style of throwing a punch several streets into a real person, causing a powerful visual impact to people. With high-speed photography, each punch is extremely shocking and reflects the divine side of superman.

"Comprehensive Counterattack" definitely cannot follow this route.

Of course, like the funny rope ninja war, it will definitely not appear in this video.

Although White Ghost was added to the shooting, the special forces did not have snake eyes for the time being, and there would be no scenes that would be extremely stiff to whitewash the White Ghost.

Moreover, White Ghost has few scenes, just a small supporting role next to Commander Cobra, who is not even as good as the Thomas and Smato brothers.

At the end of the day's shooting, Matthew and Dwayne Johnson were both exhausted. Most of these bare-hand fighting action scenes were close-ups, and the two basically did not use stunt stand-ins. Although the action scenes rarely take more than ten seconds, dozens of shots a day were also a huge test of physical fitness.

Fortunately, both of them are both powerful players in the gym. They are tired but not injured.

When he got back from get off work, Brown Williams drove the driver to another car and drove Matthew back to Beverly Hills in person. There was obviously a relatively secret thing to say.

"What's the matter?" Matthew asked with the window glass.

Brown Williams passed an intersection and said, "It's Amber Hilder."

Matthew nodded, “Speak.”

"The person I was looking for secretly followed Amber Heard for more than a month and discovered some situations." Brown Williams' voice was not loud. "In the past month, Amber Heard's work and life are normal. He participated in the filming of a TV series and was a guest star."

His tone changed slightly, "Only a little, Amber Hilder met with a very ordinary building security guard three times."

Matthew asked, “Have you checked that security guard?”

"Checked," Brown Williams replied, "that man was employed by Miramax in the 1990s."

"Millamax?" Matthew frowned, "Millamax of the 90s?"

He slowly tapped the seat mat with his fingers, "This is interesting."

Then, Brown Williams told Matthew some specific details. Since he didn't know what Amber Hilder had talked with the security guard, no one was sure whether it was normal or not.

But Matthew felt that some things would rather be considered bad than take them lightly.

Since Amber Hilde really has a problem, then... come and talk to her.
Chapter completed!
