Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 305 Near-Death Experience
The plot of the movie "Nightcrawler" is divided into two lines.

One black line and one white line.

Tang De wrote the script at home before the black line, but for the white line, he wrote it temporarily on the crew.

Mike, played by Matt Damon, is also a poor man. He lives next door to the black man Franklin (the name is also changed to Franklin in Chapter 295). The two are neighbors and have a good relationship.

Mike had lent a helping hand when the Franklin family was in trouble before.

One day when he was driving, he encountered a long-planned assassination. Although it was not aimed at him, the person who was killed had a close relationship with him.

He fled in a panic, but was later caught up by the killer Angle and was about to die when Franklin suddenly rescued him and killed Angle.

So Mike pretended to be injured and survived.

But this was just the beginning, because Franklin forced Mike to join him, replacing Angle's position and becoming a new killer.

When writing the script, Tang De focused on the conflicts between the black and white communities, and also borrowed some plots from "Green Book", making the entire dialogue sometimes humorous and sometimes heavy.

When Matt Damon and Will Smith read out these lines in their audition, both of them couldn't help but smile.

"This is really classic, black people should eat fried chicken and watermelon." Will Smith sighed. He suffered a lot of discrimination when he was a child. Even after becoming a Hollywood superstar, there are always white people who mock him.

"So you eat fried chicken?" Tang De handed Will Smith a fried chicken leg while eating chicken.

"Of course!" Will Smith took it and took a bite.

"I think the fried chicken is pretty good. It would be even better if I could have a beer." Tang De wiped his hands after eating and said, "Next we will shoot the most important scene. Are you ready?"

"We're ready." Both of them were confident.

However, Tang De smiled slightly: "That couldn't be better."

Looking at his smile, Matt Damon felt goose bumps on his back for some reason.

Half an hour later, Matt Damon was sitting in the car, waiting for the filming to begin. They were currently on a blocked road with no cars around, only a few trees and large patches of weeds.

It was already late at night, and because the scene took place late at night, there was no other light source on the scene except for a few lamps.

Seeing that he couldn't get started for a while, Matt Damon put his hands outside the car window and looked at the sky bored.

However, in the next second, he suddenly heard the sound of a car coming from a distance.

He turned his head and saw a car rushing towards him on his left side at a very fast speed.

"Damn, whose car is that?" Matt Damon was a little surprised. Logically speaking, these roads were blocked and there shouldn't be any other vehicles. Could it be other people in the crew?

But then a voice suddenly came from the pager.

"Hey, hey, hey, prop team, whose car is that?"

"I don't know. Isn't it yours?"

"Of course not. Isn't that road blocked?"

"Damn it, whose car is this? Tell him to stop!" Tang De's anxious voice came out.

"I signaled, but he didn't stop! He was heading towards Damon! Get out of the way, Damon!"

Matt Damon became panicked when he heard the voice on the pager. He didn't expect that this car had nothing to do with the crew.

He quickly started the car and wanted to rush out with his foot on the accelerator.

But the vehicle suddenly stalled for unknown reasons.

Matt Damon instantly felt cold sweat on the back of his palms: "FXXK! God!"

The next moment, the car that was running amok was rushing over, getting closer and closer to him, and the logo on the front of the car was clearly visible.

Matt Damon felt his legs twitching, the feeling of life and death was too bad. He was so scared that he had to close his eyes and pray in his heart, hoping that the car would not hit him.

"Bah!"

Then, the sound of brakes was heard. Matt Damon waited for a few seconds before opening his eyes and found that the car had stopped in front of him, with the distance between them only a few centimeters.

"Damn..." Matt Damon swallowed and his throat rolled several times, and his pounding heart finally calmed down.

Later, he saw Tang De coming over and thought the director should be very angry, but Matt Damon saw that Tang De's face was very calm.

Even offered him a cigarette.

"How do you feel?" Don asked Matt Damon while leaning against the car door.

Matt Damon curled his lips: "This feels terrible."

He was not a fool. He immediately guessed that this car must have been arranged by Tang De. He was a little angry, but did not express it.

"Just act like this in a moment. I believe it will be exciting." Tang De comforted him, then shouted to the staff, "Get ready to shoot."

Soon, the staff restored all the props and vehicles to their original positions, and everyone took their positions and began filming.

Matt Damon lived up to expectations and nailed this scene in one take.

When he played Mike who was hit by a car, his expression was so real that it made people feel despair just by watching it from the monitor.

When he watched his scene again behind Tang De, he couldn't help but nod. This scene could be regarded as a new representative of his acting career.

"That's great." Will Smith, who was watching from the side, nodded repeatedly: "Tang, do I have a similar scene? I feel like my current scene isn't emotional enough."

He had high hopes for this movie, so in every scene, he kept trying different acting styles, trying to make his performance better.

For example, in a later scene, when he pointed a gun at Matt Damon, he performed it several times in a row.

"Let's do it again. I think my eyes should be more dramatic."

Eye contact acting has always been the most difficult, especially since Will Smith is masked at the moment, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. It is actually quite difficult to express his hidden emotions through his eyes.

"You appear to be trying to kill Mike, but in your heart you actually want to kill Ange. You are struggling." Tang De explained the scene to Will Smith: "So you have to use your eyes to show a little hesitation. I only need a little bit because you are an introverted person."

"I understand. Let me try again." Will Smith nodded, closed his eyes and thought for a while.

Then he opened his eyes and said, "Come on, let's do it again."

"Start shooting."

…………

"Card!"

"pass."

Will Smith heard this and ran over: "Let me see."

"Look, it's really good." Tang De gave him his seat. On the screen, Will Smith slowly raised his gun, pointed it at Mike, and then glanced at Ange. His eyes reflected the surrounding flames, as if his inner thoughts were also as unpredictable as flames.

He then looked at Mike, as if he had made up his mind, but turned to Angle as he pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

Ange was shot in the eye and fell to the ground.

Franklin's brows relaxed slightly, revealing an expression of relief.
