After the Peachtree Street scenes came to an end, the crew returned to the Gray Film Center for filming.
Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal also joined the filming.
"Stop, this one has passed!"
Behind the director's monitor, Nolan looked at the set, which was decorated like a cocktail party. Maggie Gyllenhaal walked out holding her chest, as if she was frightened by Martin's performance.
Nolan's excellence extends beyond directing. He immediately called the screenwriter: "For the record, Maggie Gyllenhaal was so frightened by Martin during the filming that she was so nervous that she urinated frequently. At one point, she didn't dare to speak or look at Martin."
The screenwriter's pen moved quickly and he quickly jotted it down.
Nolan skillfully made up the behind-the-scenes of the crew's filming that was worthy of publicity and hype, thought for a moment, and then said: "Call Michael over."
Not long after the conference, veteran actor Michael Caine came over and asked, "Chris, what do you want from me?"
Nolan continued to arrange the filming of behind-the-scenes. As early as when he was in Los Angeles, he made an agreement with Orlin and Charles Rowan to use Martin, who is more trouble-making and commercially appealing, as the core of promotion: "When we play together later, Michael, you're going to be so frightened by Martin's performance that you forget your words."
Michael Caine has worked with Nolan many times and understood his intentions and said: "No problem, I will cooperate with you."
A few minutes later, filming started again.
This time it was replaced by Martin and Michael Caine.
When Martin burst out in front of him with a cruel smile in his madness, Michael Caine was so frightened that he even forgot his lines for a while.
"Stuck!" Nolan shouted to stop.
Kane backed away and waited for the assistant to bring water. He took a sip of water and then said, "Sorry, my fault."
He looked at Martin with lingering fear: "Young man, you are too scary. I just saw a real clown appear in front of me."
Just at the edge of the set, the screenwriter recorded the footage again: "Michael Caine was so frightened by Martin during filming that he forgot his lines."
Martin walked up to Kane and asked, "Is it okay?"
Kane forced a smile: "It's much better now."
Martin was surprised, his acting skills were so good?
Bruce had been paying attention to the movements of the crew. When Martin sat on the lounge chair, he said softly: "Nolan just asked Kane to come over and have a few words."
Martin turned his head and glanced at the director's monitor, and suddenly realized: It was Nolan who was proactively creating stunts.
Morgan Freeman, an old acquaintance, came alone, sat next to Martin, and said, "This crew is very interesting."
Martin pretended not to know anything and said casually: "Am I too scary?"
"No." Freeman showed his trademark smile: "On and off the field, on and off the stage, it's all drama. It's exciting."
Martin grinned: "Don't you think it's interesting? It adds a lot of fun to boring shooting."
Freeman said: "I'm old and can't stand the trouble, so I just watch quietly..."
Before he finished speaking, his step-granddaughter came over.
Freeman stood up to leave: "I'm going back to the hotel. Let's talk later."
A man and a woman, an old man and a young man, left the studio.
Martin asked: "Old Bu, when I get old, will I still have such charm?"
"As long as you have enough money, you will still be attractive no matter how old you are." Bruce reminded: "You forget, Jack Nicholson can attract 17-year-old Jennifer Lawrence."
As Martin nodded, he caught a glimpse of Sophia coming again: "She and Belle have a lot in common?"
Bruce said softly: "I asked Scott, Sophia will also go out to hunt for fresh food, but she will return to him soon."
Martin sighed: "It turns out that the real winner in life is Scott."
It's a complete win.
While eating in the restaurant at noon, Martin chatted with Sophia for a few words.
"Did you succeed?" he asked.
Sofia shook her head: "It's a bit difficult. When I was discussing fitness with him, I asked about his family situation. According to him, he loves his wife very much."
Martin revealed something appropriately: "This should not be the main reason. As far as I know, he had a sponge tear."
"It seems I have to change my strategy." Sofia thought there was something wrong with Bell: "Should I be more proactive and stronger?"
She remembered something: "Bell's wife is coming over, let's wait a few days to talk about it."
Martin asked: "Come to visit?"
"That's right." Sophia's iron-like hands fell on Martin's shoulders: "How about you do me a favor? Aren't you good at breaking up couples or boyfriends?"
How could Martin have the nerve to refuse? After all, he is the sponsor!
…………
The next morning, Martin met Bale's wife, Hibi Blaczyk, on set.
It was a tall brown-haired woman who looked to be in her early thirties.
During the break, Martin saw Maggie Gyllenhaal and went over to say hello, and called Bruce: "Let's go and talk to our good friend Bell, and get to know his wife by the way."
He did not forget to remind: "bring a meeting gift."
Bruce opened the bag he brought, took out a long box, followed Martin, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Martin put on clown makeup and turned around with an evil smile: "Just getting to know my friend's wife."
Bruce sensed something wasn't right.
Before he got there, Martin had already stretched out his arms and said loudly in the most enthusiastic manner: "Chris, is this your wife? Why don't you introduce me?"
Xibi turned her head and saw a strange man with a white face and a red mouth, his head leaning forward, coming over. His heart tightened, and he subconsciously grabbed Bell's arm.
After all, Bell would not throw away the British gentleman's behavior casually. Although he hated Martin, he still introduced: "Hibby, this is Martin Davis. Martin, this is my wife Hibby - Blacik.”
Martin was not polite at all: "Hello, Shibby, welcome to Atlanta." He smiled heartily: "I am from Atlanta, and I am good friends with Chris. If you need anything here, feel free to contact me. "
Sibi smiled and responded, "I will, thank you."
Martin's originally free hand suddenly turned down, and when he turned up again, he found a business card between his fingers: "My business card."
Hibi put it away and gave Martin his business card out of politeness.
Unhappiness flashed across Bell's face, but there were many people around him and he wanted to take care of his wife, so he didn't say anything.
Martin collected Sibi's business card and invited: "Chris, when are you free, I'll invite you and Sibi to taste Atlanta delicacies."
Bell stared straight at Martin. The evil face covered in white paint was, in his eyes, even more evil than the clown in the script.
Xibi noticed her husband's displeasure and said, "Let's wait until we have time. I just arrived in Atlanta from Los Angeles. I am quite tired and need to rest for a few days."
Martin turned around and took the gift box from Bruce's hand and handed it to Sibi: "Please accept this gift."
Hibby answered: "Thank you."
"No need to disturb you." Martin bowed slightly to the Bells and left.
Bell took Hibi to his lounge and said as he walked: "Please pay attention to Martin Davis on the set. He has a problem with his head and is a lunatic."
Xibi heard it, and her husband disagreed with her. She picked up the gift box and said, "Is it okay to accept this?"
Bell took it and opened it: "Let's see what it is."
Hibi took a look, took it out and held it in his hand, but it was a sculpture of a clown with makeup and appearance similar to Martin's.
“The crew had high-end craftsmanship on hand,” Bell said.
The statue was more than 30 centimeters long. Xibi just held it by his legs, shook it a few times in his hand, and said, "Why does it feel weird?"
Bell was surprised: "What's weird?"
Sibi suddenly thought of some type of used object: "Nothing."
Bell suggested: "Throw it away if you don't like it."
"Keep the peripheral products of the crew." What Xibi thought of was another thing. Since her husband was injured due to a torn sponge, her interest in that area has seriously declined. Keeping this statue is still of some use to her.
Bell ignored the statue and emphasized again: "Be careful about Martin Davis."
…………
Back in the break room, Martin sat in a chair and temporarily dismissed the screenwriter who always followed him.
Bruce was very conscious and asked, "What's the matter?"
Martin asked: "I remember that time at Pinewood Studios, Bell was injured due to a torn sponge. Now that he has recovered from his injury, how is his relationship with his wife?"
Bruce did not answer, but said: "Is it really like what Leonardo said, that you are only interested in beautiful women over thirty years old and with a regular male partner? Are you infected by Julie?"
Martin sneered: "How could a noble person like me do such a low-level thing? It's so out of style! Don't forget, I am a truly noble person now."
What he said really sounded like a clown.
Bruce asked, "What are you going to do?"
"People's choices are all active." Martin already had an idea: "Crazy is everywhere like the gravity of the earth. All we have to do is give people a gentle push on their backs, and they will naturally make choices. "
Bruce was compassionate, held a two-second moment of silence for Belle, and two seconds later was completely on Martin's side.
Martin looked around and saw no one, and said, "Go to Robert and ask him to find some reliable extras from Atlanta. I remember that many of the extras on the crew are from Marietta Company."
Bruce nodded: "I'll make an appointment with Robert later."
Martin whispered for a while.
Bruce fully understood Martin's intention, and as expected, he just gave him a gentle push in the back.
Wait until the crew's break is over and start shooting again.
Bruce came out of the studio, found a place where no one was around, and called Robert.
At noon, the two met on the street outside the Gray Film and Television Center.
Robert was wearing a suit and had his hair slicked back, revealing his big head. He looked like the high priest of the Coca-Cola Cult.
After listening to Bruce's words, he laughed: "This is very easy. Many of the extras in the crew were personally taught by me. They are also firm believers in the Coca-Cola Cult. They are willing to sacrifice everything for their beliefs."
Bruce reminded: "This is their spontaneous behavior."
Robert nodded: "Of course!"
