Chapter 441 - The Filming in Austrália 3 (1/2)

But that did not stop Jake from being able to talk and other actors and film crew from enjoying what he was like since he was a child Jake knew how to talk to people and make new friends easily.

And social situations like this dinner helped him a lot because people became more open and kind and made friends more easily, Jake can talk a lot with the other actors who did not have much participation in the film and even talked for a while with Keanu Reeves.

But it was more difficult for Jake to talk to Keanu Reeves because even though he was very kind, Keanu Reeves was a famous actor and so it was more difficult for Jake to talk to him having so many people who also wanted to talk to Keanu Reeves.

Even so, Jake can relax a little more and talk to most of the actors and even with the film crew after that Jake went to rest early because early in the morning he would have to train the cable movements to prepare for the film.

The other day Jake woke up very early and went to prepare for training, in the afternoon they would have more footage to do, so Jake went to the place where he was told to go and there were Yuen Woo-ping and his assistants and Jake you can see the cables and the place where he would train.

Jake already imagined what the cable training would be like, but seeing it in person even he was surprised how they had equipment and machines to help them have more movement and safety too.

”Hi Jake, today we are finally going to be able to start your cable training, I am sure you will not take long to learn everything you need to learn, after that, you will be ready to do the fight scenes.”

”The most important thing for you in this training is to learn how to balance yourself while being suspended by cables after you learn to balance yourself you will have to learn to move freely and then we will train the fighting movements.”

”Some of the dubs in the movie will demonstrate how you need to move and then they will fight so you can see how you have to do it.”

After Yuen Woo-ping said that the machines lifted the stuntmen by the cables and in a short time they managed to balance themselves, after that some started to show what the fight scenes would be like.

Even if it was difficult to train most fights it would not be off the ground but on the ground itself and the cables would only serve to simulate scenes with blows to appear that the opponent had attacked with more force than it was in reality.

Some simpler scenes had already been done, but they needed Yuen Woo-ping to help organize the most important fight scenes, one of the scenes was Neo and Morpheus in training, Neo and Neo's struggles with Agent Smith.

The scene in which Trinity fought with dozens of policemen and ran away from the agents had also been filmed, even if it was a complicated scene to do, Jake's character would participate in few fights, but the fights he participated in would be important and had to be well choreographed.

Jake would fight in the scene where Morpheus would be captured and he would also fight in the scene in which Neo's group fled after Morpheus had been captured, in that fight Jake's character would be injured after helping everyone escape and he would be the one who would kill Cypher to save Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus.

So Jake's character would be important in the film even if it didn't take away the importance of the other characters and besides some scenes that would be changed the rest of the film would be the same, the only difference was that it would be longer because of those scenes.

After Jake saw the dubbing demonstration he started to learn how he had to move when he was suspended on the cables to gain balance, just as Jake had thought it was much more difficult than he thought.

After a few hours of training Jake had learned to gain balance and could now move better by hanging on the cables, but Yuen Woo-ping realized that Jake had learned better than he expected, even so, they would need a few days of training before they could start filming the fight scenes with the actors.

In the meantime the recording of the scenes from the movie that didn't need a fight happened, even when I didn't have to record Jake, I would go to the scenes to see how one of his favorite films was recorded, because of that the other actors and directors praised Jake because they thought that he was watching to learn.

In fact, Jake was a good surprise for the directors because he made fewer mistakes than the actors who had much more experience than him, it seemed that Jake knew the film and the characters well and therefore he had an easier time doing the scenes.
