《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 439: The Filming in Austrália 1
Advertisement
So the two spent the whole day taking care of the children as volunteers, some of these children were from poor families and needed centers like these to survive, some children came from families that were able, but would go into debt if they paid for the treatment of their son.
Seeing this situation with children so good that they needed help, Jake was happy to be able to help because of his work, Jake thought again that in the future he would make even bigger donations, but only to institutions that he trusted.
Of course, even though making the donation Jake asked not to reveal that he had made this donation so as not to appear that he was doing it just to get the media's attention, even though Jake was well known, the children could not recognize him and so Jake stayed with Eva the last day of him with the kids.
Eva liked it a lot and was much happier after spending the whole day with the kids, Jake knew she would like it, he wanted to see someplace where there were people with paralysis in his legs just like he did, but Jake imagined that Eva didn't I would like to spend a day volunteering in a place like this.
So Jake would go alone and make donations to help people who were like him, of course, a good part of people who suffer accidents can continue with their normal lives and could even work as he did, but some people couldn't and needed help.
Jake wanted to help people because he wanted to see the people he helped be happy and also because he was happy to do that, Jake in a few years would have billions of dollars and if the businesses he invested and planned to invest in the future were right he would have hundreds of billions of dollars in shares.
Jake actually just kept investing because he knew he could make a lot out of it, but in fact, he didn't even know what he could do with that much money, Jake still didn't think about having children, but when he only had the shares of Amazon a lifelong heritage for his children.
So Jake thought that donating part of that money could be something that would make them happy and help a lot of people and maybe even save lives after they came home Jake thought about talking to Eva before the day was over.
"Thanks for the idea you had, son, it was great to spend time with the kids, I hope they get well soon because they have a beautiful future ahead of them."

"I hope they will be fine too, if you want in the future we can make a few more visits when I come to Miami."
"I think it's a good idea, we'll do this more often."
"Okay, mom, tomorrow as you know I'm going to Australia to participate in the filming of the movie The Matrix, I'm sorry I can't spend this vacation with you, but this is a good opportunity for me to fulfill my dream of becoming one actor and make a successful film."
"I really think this film will be a much bigger success than the people participating in the film are expecting and if I have an important character in this film part of my dream will be realized."
"I understand that Jake, I know you always make your decisions with the best in mind, I wish you could spend more time here at home because after you join the NBA it will be difficult for you to have time to come home during the season."
"It's true, but it is possible that this NBA season may take longer to start than last year, I cannot be sure of that, but if it happens after the film is over I will try to spend a few more weeks here at home before to start training."
"Also, in just over a month we will see each other again in the NBA draft, you have to be there and hope that I find a good team."
Eva didn't know why, but she believed that Jake was right that the season was going to take even if she knew it had never happened before, maybe Eva just wanted to believe it, or maybe it was because of the incredible things that Jake has achieved in the last few years.
Before Jake left Anna came to their house after closing the restaurant earlier and Jake can talk to her a lot and then they had dinner and Anna stayed at Jake's because it was too late.
The other day very early in the morning Jake said goodbye to his mother and Anna and went to the airport to meet Yuen Woo-ping for them to go together on the plane to Australia, Jake was excited to start filming, but was nervous about the long day trip like Jake had to do once going to Tokyo.
Jake thought that maybe when he had to arrive in Sydney he would have to spend a day or more resting before he could start shooting, but he didn't say anything to Yuen Woo-ping and would wait to see how he would arrive before saying he would have to rest.

After a long trip that Jake slept on the plane, they arrived in Sydney, contrary to what he expected the impact of the flight was not so great for Jake that he arrived just a little tired.
Yuen Woo-ping was actually more tired than Jake and as the two arrived later in the afternoon they went to the hotel room where the film crew was resting to meet with the directors and the rest of the travel team the next day.
Jake was not recognized at Sydney airport because no one in the sports media he knew the most could imagine that Jake would go to Australia after school ended, for many Jake was still in Miami.
So the film crew would have the peace of mind to continue filming and there was a lot for them to do now that Jake had arrived, the idea of the directors the Wachowskis brothers, was to record some scenes with Jake that were delayed while Jake still had to train to learn how to fight on the cables.
Then they would shoot the action scenes and cable fights with all the actors and so they could continue shooting normally and finish on time if something delayed the actors would have to stay another month and Jake could stay up to 2 months beyond the end of filming because the scenes in which he could record alone he would do after all.
Jake and Yuen Woo-ping were able to rest well and the next day the two went to talk to the directors, the directors knew that Jake had arrived and had to organize the scenes that would be recorded in the next few days, they were talking to the rest of the staff movie and they saw Jake and Yuen Woo-ping coming.
"Jake, you finally arrived, we have been waiting for you for the past few weeks, I hope you have learned all the fight scenes in these months with Yuen Woo-ping."
"Thank you for giving me that time, I know I couldn't make it when filming started because of the basketball season, but I will do my best to record the delayed scenes and not delay the shooting."
"Yuen Woo-ping taught me everything I needed to learn for this film, now we will have to see how I'm going to do while I'm struggling over the cables, I think in a few weeks I can learn."
The Wachowskis were happy to see Jake's willingness to shoot the scenes, they risked a lot by bringing Jake who was not a very experienced actor for this film, especially since Jake couldn't be on the film for several months like the other actors.
Even so, they thought Jake had talent and could call several fans of his to see this film, the Wachowskis were happy when they learned that Jake was learning the fighting moves well if Jake could fight well the film would be more successful.
"Now that you are here, we are going to record the scenes where you appear that was late with the other actors, you can meet them later when you learn to fight on the cables we can do this scene too."
It seemed like a simple thing to shoot some scenes without an actor and make that actor appear later, but for the actors to better show their feeling in the scene it was better that they did the scene with the other actors.
Mainly because sometimes the director likes to use multiple cameras and shoot in different ways and so they shot from different angles, so the actors in animation films were respected because they only saw the scene and had to start several times to decide.
"Here is your script Jake, the scenes that are marked are the ones that will be recorded today and for that reason, you should focus more on memorizing, we will pass on the scenes that you have to record in the next few days, you can go meet the other actors if you want."
Jake received the script and saw that just as he expected he had many lines, neither in the day nor in the entire film, and Jake hoped for that because even the main characters didn't have so many lines in this film that there was a lot of action and fights.
Jake was just as important as Cypher in this film and they were indirectly related in the story of The Matrix, Jake had heard about the character he would play from the Wachowskis brothers before, but seeing the script he could see the difference his character would have in the original story he knew.
Jake was feeling better after sleeping and the long trip hadn't affected him as much as before, as he wouldn't be running a marathon he could also recover faster than last time and so he didn't need to say anything to the Wachowskis.
Jake was very excited when he went to meet the actors in the film, he was very easy on Keanu Reeves who was not yet so famous because the movie The Matrix would bring him more success, Jake also liked the other actors and really wanted to meet them.
