Chapter 204 Three major joys
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
The pre-screening training lasted from early July to August. In addition to various action scenes, Matthew also rehearsed some literary scenes with two other protagonists Johnny Depp and Kayla Knightley, which made him more certain that in terms of performance, Johnny Depp could completely crush him and Kayla Knightley.
Matthew discovered that Kayla Knightley's current acting skills are not much better than him.
During rehearsals, Kayla Knightley always uses the same movements to express the emotions of the characters. These movements are still her habits in life. For example, her signature movement is to bite lips and pout when speaking, and she smiles and try her best to open her mouth and reveal her teeth to show her freedom and cheerfulness.
It is obvious that he and Kayla Knightley are essentially both vases, and the acting role of this drama can only be taken by Johnny Depp.
And Jeffrey Rush, the Oscar winner's acting skills are definitely not bad.
However, Jeffrey Rush is basically alone in the crew and rarely gets together with other actors.
The training is coming to an end, and the crew's preparations are about to be completed. Actors like Matthew have also reduced their movement training and focused on rehearsing some important scenes.
Many directors do not like to let the actors rehearse in advance when filming, thinking that this will limit the actors' performance. However, a typical commercial entertainment film producer like Jerry Brookheimer doesn't care about these at all. His crew is precisely like a precision instrument processing assembly line.
Johnny Depp and Captain Jack Sparrow are the most uncertain links on the assembly line.
But Matthew believes that this uncertainty comes from the upper limit. No one knows what Johnny Depp will be like when he gets crazy. Many of Johnny Depp's fantasy characters are like this, and the character portrayal looks a bit absurd.
Even Matthew believes that decadent men have three major joys, Caribbean lying, Sparrow Huang and Ge Da Ye paralyzed.
Besides, Captain Jack Sparrow is one of the three protagonists in the film. Since he is the protagonist, how can he not be "shocked" when encountering something?
In mid-August, the crew finished all the preliminary preparations and specially gave all the cast and crew three days off, and filming began when the holiday ended.
After finishing training, Matthew returned to his independent locker room, changed his clothes, and came to the training hall, greeted the person in charge of the prop group, and took an aluminum alloy prop sword. In the past month, as long as he rested on vacation, he would bring a sword back to practice.
Since he decided to take the route of movement and appearance, these will be helpful in the future, and he is becoming more and more fond of exercise.
With a long bag with a sword on his back, Matthew happened to meet Kayla Knightley coming from the locker room besides the training hall.
"Hi, Kayla." He greeted casually.
Both of them were leaving, and Kayla Knightley walked with him, "Go to get the sword again?"
"Yes, the sword I usually use for training is much heavier than the prop sword." Matthew adjusted his backpack and said as he walked, "I dare not use it recently."
If you are used to using the steel sword of the past and then using this light aluminum prop sword, you will have too much force when you practice with Robert Anderson for the first time.
Kayla Knightley took a picture of the long bag behind him, "Don't forget to practice on vacation?"
"Daily exercise." Matthew was honest, "It's very fun to exercise."
Kayla Knightley shrugged and said, "Maybe." She said, "Before filming "Playing Like Beckham", I practiced football for a while, and I'll take you to play football if I have time."
"Okay." Matthew responded.
"It's British football!" Kayla Knightley emphasized, "It's not American football."
"It's okay." Matthew didn't care, "American football and English football are OK."
He can still understand English football, but American football really knows nothing.
Matthew and Kayla Knightley left the studio together and walked towards him a fat man. When the fat man passed by Matthew, he suddenly stopped.
He shouted uncertainly, "Matthew Horner?"
Hearing a strange voice calling himself, Matthew immediately stopped, turned to look at the fat man, and looked up and down.
The fat man was also looking at him at the same time, gradually connecting the man opposite with the agile, handsome face and strong aura with the poor boy more than three years ago.
"You are Matthew Horner!" He confirmed this completely.
Matthew also recognized who the fat man was and said politely with a smile, "Long time no see, Mr. Dennis Kurt."
This fat man is his interim agent Dennis Kurt at Starlight.
"It's me! It's me!" Dennis Kurt smiled, his smile a little awkward, "Matthew, I didn't expect to see you here."
When Kayla Knightley saw Matthew meet an acquaintance, she whispered, "I'll leave first, the driver is still waiting for me outside."
Matthew nodded, "See you another day."
In the contracts signed by the main actors, the crew will provide special car pick-up and drop-off. Those who drive by themselves will be converted into transportation subsidies and will be paid with the last pay.
Watching Matthew whispering to Kayla Knightley, Dennis Kurt was mixed in his heart. He watched "Brothers", "The Mummy Return" and "The Scorpion King" with his own eyes, and watched Matthew Horner go from an inconspicuous little supporting role to a highly-watched male lead, and from a male lead to a well-known actor...
Who would have thought that the little actor he missed had such great potential?
No, at that time he was not even a young actor, but just the lowest-level one among extras.
"Mr. Dennis Kurt." Matthew turned back and continued to say to his former agent, "We haven't seen each other for three years."
"Yes." Dennis Kurt moved his fat body slightly, "I'll do it here."
He pointed to the studio where Matthew had just come out and said, "The crew needs a lot of extras, and I have several clients selected."
"Yeah." Matthew nodded and said, "Go quickly, the crew gets off work today, and there will be no one after another."
Dennis Kurt opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back.
Matthew pretended that he didn't see it and said politely, "I have to leave if I contact you more in the future."
"Okay..." Dennis Kurt could only say, "Goodbye, Matthew."
"Goodbye." Matthew finished and left.
He did not mention the things he had back then, nor did he say he wanted to help. Dennis Kurt's picture was flipped three years ago.
Dennis Kurt looked at Matthew's distant background and finally didn't say anything about his help. Three years have passed. He is still the agent of a group of extras, but the other party has become the leading actor in Hollywood's first-line productions. The hierarchy difference between the two parties is too much.
After leaving Disney Studios, Matthew did not go home, but went to Angel Agency. The Pirates of the Caribbean crew had already transferred his first $600,000 in his account to the agency's account. He needed to sign and let the finance department transfer the money to his account.
When he arrived at the building of the Angels Agency, he parked the car and walked into the company. He found Helen Herman standing in the front desk hall, talking to a girl with short blond hair. The blonde girl was facing the door, with a figure similar to Helen Herman, and her back looked familiar.
Next to the blonde girl, there was a 15 or 16-year-old black-haired girl. The blonde girl probably noticed him and was turning around and looking at the door.
When Matthew saw a black-haired girl, his first impression was that she was too mature. She had a baby-fat face, but she had a hot body, especially her huge breasts, which was difficult to attract attention.
And her eyes, the light blue eyes were as bright as gems, so bright that it gave people a bit of a fake feeling.
Seeing the black-haired girl looking at her, Matthew smiled at her, and her smile had just bloomed on her face. The girl with short golden hair turned her head, and only glanced at her, even her body turned around.
"Matthew!" She took a step forward.
"Amanda!" Matthew immediately recognized that this was a girl who had served as the temporary front desk of the Angel's agency. She had a good relationship with herself at the time and helped him in Britney MV's audition, "Aren't you in the UK?"
"It's summer vacation." Amanda said with a smile, "I'll come and have a look."
She turned to look at the brunette girl, "Take a little favor to your friend."
Matthew walked up to her, and Helen Herman came over there. He attacked the agent and continued to say to Amanda, "How did you cut your hair?"
Amanda's short blonde hair is not as long as his hair.
"It's easy to manage." Amanda seemed to remember his friendship with Matthew, and was obviously very enthusiastic about him. "You have become a big star after not seeing each other for a few years."
Matthew squeezed his eyes at Helen Herman, "It's all Helen who promotes me."
Helen Hermann glanced at Matthew and said nothing.
"How many days are there in Los Angeles?" Matthew asked again.
"I'm going back tomorrow." Amanda seemed a little helpless, looked at the black-haired girl and said, "If I hadn't brought Anna over, I wouldn't have come to Los Angeles."
She then remembered and introduced to Matthew, "This is Alexandra Dadario, my...well, a sister."
Then she introduced Matthew, "Anna, this is Matthew Horner, my friend in Los Angeles."
The brunette girl greeted Matthew and said, "I know you, you are a Hollywood star."
"Yes, I'm." Matthew's face was naturally thick enough. He looked at Amanda, then at Helen Herman, and understood and asked the brunette girl, "Do you want to develop in Hollywood too?"
"Yeah!" Alexandra Dadario nodded.
Afterwards, Helen Herman invited several people to the upstairs. Alexandra Dadario was curious about the entertainment agency. She asked her assistant to take her around, and the three of them chatted in the office for a while.
This girl is the daughter of Amanda's father's friend and intends to develop in Hollywood, so Amanda brings her to Helen Herman to leave basic information.
Amanda's studies have not been completed yet and she has not stayed in Los Angeles for a long time. The next day, Matthew sent her to the international airport.
