American fame and fortune

"Stop! This one is over!"

In the studio, Nolan stood up from behind the director's monitor, walked towards the set, and said to the heroine: "Maggie, thank you for your performance, you are very important to us."

Everyone on the crew, including Martin, applauded Maggie Gyllenshire.

Because all the scenes of the heroine have been filmed, it is officially offline today.

As if infected by the recent good atmosphere of the crew, Maggie Gyllenhaal held her face in both hands, gently wiped her teary eyes, and kept saying to the surroundings: "Thank you, thank you everyone..."

Emma Thomas went over with a box, hugged Maggie, and stuffed it into her hand: "You brought a perfect performance to the crew."

Maggie opened the box, and inside was the prop necklace Rachel left for Batman. She took it out and put it on: "This is the most important moment in my acting career!"

Nolan came over to shake hands with her, said a few polite words, and quietly retreated to the periphery.

The screenwriter had a particularly keen sense of smell, and before the director called, he had already found him.

Just as Nolan was about to speak, he found Maggie Gyllenhaal walking towards Martin, and immediately raised his hand to let the screenwriter wait for a while.

Maggie came to the actor's rest room, found Martin, and said, "I wanted to ask the crew for a souvenir, but the crew doesn't have it now, and I said you might have it here."

Martin was surprised: "What souvenir?"

Maggie gestured and said, "The clown's handmade statue, the one you gave Shebby the other day, looks very good, and the crew didn't prepare it."

"It's easy to say." Martin beckoned to Bruce.

Bruce opened the bag he was carrying, took out a long gift box from it, and handed it to Martin.

Martin handed it to Maggie again: "The hand-carved version."

Maggie took it and opened it to take a look. The unique shape was indeed extraordinary, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Martin."

Martin smiled: "You're welcome."

Soon, Maggie Gyllenhaal left the studio contentedly.

Nolan said to the screenwriter: "During filming, the heroine Maggie Gyllenhaal, who played Rachel, fell in love with Martin for a time, but she couldn't get any response. Before leaving the crew, she asked Martin for a special clown sculpture. As a souvenir……"

A small gossip scandal was born in the screenwriter's pen, and it was officially certified.

Morgan Freeman has always stood on the sidelines, and Nolan has added a new type of director to Hollywood: the propaganda and hype director.

The British director has as many ideas for marketing as he does for film ideas.

On the other hand, Martin fell into thinking, why are handmade clown statues always welcomed by ladies?

He has a feeling that if the movie hits the box office, the sales of this accessory may explode.

The crew sent away Maggie Gyllenshire and Morgan Freeman a few days later.

Martin got along well with the old man, and specially gave Freeman a souvenir.

Freeman waved his hand: "I'm a man, so I don't want this thing."

Martin was surprised: "It has nothing to do with men and women."

Freeman thought for a while and said, "Okay, I accept it."

The two might work together again.

Freeman also gave Martin a gift in return, a nutcracker he made himself.

Martin put it away solemnly, and turned around to build a glass showcase to store things like souvenirs for exhibition.

Before Freeman left the studio, he took a special look at director Nolan and found that Nolan was whispering to the screenwriter again.

What he wrote must be related to him, but Morgan Freeman doesn't bother to care about it if it doesn't damage his reputation.

Just very curious what gossip Nolan wrote about him.

…………

Into the summer, the weather is getting hotter.

Under the bright sunshine, the crew left Atlanta and came to the southern city of Concord.

Far away from populated areas, an abandoned large candy processing factory was transformed into a superficial hospital by the construction team hired by the film crew.

The convoy stopped in a secure area outside the processing plant.

Martin gets off into the makeup trailer for makeup.

Nolan directed the production crew to set up the scene. Many experienced pyrotechnicians from the pyrotechnics team entered several key areas of the hospital to set up special explosives, and prepared to set off an extra-large fireworks later.

The ambulance converted from the old vehicle was dragged to the parking lot near the hospital building.

In addition, there are many real ambulances and fire engines driving to the periphery, and relevant professionals are on standby to take precautions.

In the make-up trailer, Martin finished painting, put on a white nurse's uniform, and put on a nurse's cap.

After the stylist left, Bruce, who was sitting on the side, said, "Put on another pair of stockings and a pair of prostheses, and you can go to the street to seduce perverted perverts."

Martin asked, "Do you want to go? I can pay to find you the best stylist."

He went a step further: "How about this, I'll charter a business jet and take you directly to Thailand, which can solve all your troubles at once, and you won't be bothered by Kim and Kohler's problems anymore."

"I've made a decision." Bruce had an indomitable momentum: "For Kohler, I'm going to shoot a video with Kim."

Martin nodded: "Old Bu, I wish you good luck."

Bruce smiled: "Maybe it's special fate that made me meet them."

At this moment, someone knocked on the trailer door, and Bruce went to open it. An assistant director showed up and said, "Martin, get ready to go to the set."

Martin got up and got out of the makeup trailer, and followed them to the place where the camera was set up.

Nolan is waiting for him here.

Bruce didn't stop after he came over, he went all the way into the hospital set and checked it in advance.

Nolan took off the earphones, hung them around his neck, and pointed at the large building that was originally brick red but has now been transformed into hospital white, and said, "This scene has only one chance to explode. You must get into the state quickly."

Martin pulled the nurse's cap on his head and said, "I'll go over and get acquainted with my position later."

Nolan greeted him: "Go, let's go there together."

The two came to the entrance of the hospital building together, and walked along the paved road to the direction where the crew set up the IMAX camera.

Nolan said as he walked, "You come from the door and come here. Remember the pavement line on the ground. This is the safety line set by the pyrotechnics team. After crossing here, you press the detonator."

"I controlled the explosion?" Martin asked.

Nolan shook his head directly: "Of course not. Professionals are responsible for such a major detonation! When they see you press the detonator, it will officially detonate. The explosion is divided into two stages, with a short interruption in the middle. It is also written in the script , the remote control is out of order..."

Martin understands: "For dramatic effect."

Nolan laughed: "That's right."

The Hollywood film industry has a relatively strict process, especially this kind of large-scale investment crew, which is extremely rigorous when it comes to shooting dangerous scenes such as explosions. If an explosion is not carried out according to the predetermined plan, it will be stopped immediately and corresponding safety measures will be taken to deal with it.

The first version of the script that Martin got was just the Joker blowing up the hospital where Harvey Dent was injured.

But in the latest version, a clown scene has been added between explosions.

Nolan went back to the IMAX cameras.

Martin went back and forth, familiarizing himself with the position many times.

Half an hour later, the pyrotechnics team inspected the various facilities for the last time and notified director Nolan through the headset. With Nolan's order, the shooting officially began.

Wearing a nurse's uniform, Martin staggered over from the hospital entrance, took off his white nurse's cap halfway, threw it to the side of the road, and took out a remote control from the pocket of the nurse's uniform.

According to the position, he quickly passed the security line, and then pressed the remote control.

There was a loud bang, and a corner of the building behind Martin was blown down.

He looked back, then glanced at the remote control in his hand, and couldn't help but pat it a few times.

This time, the explosion sounded continuously, and the huge building collapsed rumblingly.

Martin quickened his pace and ran forward. Seeing Nolan gesturing, he quickly turned behind the security wall.

The hospital building collapsed completely and turned into a pile of ruins, with smoke and dust floating everywhere.

Several cameras are still filming, faithfully recording the entire process of blowing up the building.

It took a long time before the set really quieted down.

Nolan announced over a loudspeaker that the shot had been successfully completed.

Martin came near the director's seat, looked at the ruins with his hands on his hips, and shook his head slightly.

Nolan said: "This is an abandoned building, so don't put too much pressure on it."

"No, I'm not under any pressure." Martin said calmly, "If it explodes at night, it would be such a brilliant firework."

Nolan turned his head and glanced at Martin. At this moment, inspiration broke out, and he beckoned to the screenwriter to write rumors in front of Martin.

"This is a rumor." Nolan exhorted first, and then said: "During filming the scene in the hospital, Martin pressed the remote control and found that the explosion stopped just after it started, as if something unexpected happened."

But Martin knew that everything in this scene was set up.

It turns out that many rumors in the past may have been deliberately released by the crew.

Nolan's words continued: "Martin knew that the blasting scene was not easy to reshoot, so he played freely and slapped the remote control hard. He took pictures of the connection that might have been badly connected, and the blasting returned to normal! Martin's impromptu performance , saved the huge investment in this drama.”

The screenwriter moved his pen like a fly, while he was writing, he secretly glanced at Martin, and thought to himself, in front of the Lord, is it okay to write this way?

Martin said at this time: "Director, it's a very exciting scene, and it's very enjoyable to act."

The more Nolan looked at Martin, the more he felt pleasing to the eye, not only cooperating with the crew, but also able to understand his own intentions, which was 10,000 times more worry-free than Bell.

That's the type of actor he likes.

"These are all rumor-like tidbits." Nolan warned in advance: "When the film is promoted in the future, if a media reporter asks about relevant information, you can keep silent or give an ambiguous answer."

Martin replied, "I will."

The scene was successfully completed, and the crew immediately withdrew to Atlanta.

Before arriving in the urban area, Martin was notified that Nicholson and Leonardo were coming to visit the class soon.
