Chapter 211 Invitation
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
On the side of Alpurco near the sea, a small pier has been obviously renovated, with a typical medieval style. On the sea not far from the pier, a three-masted sailboat is moored there. Looking from the pier, you can see the busy figures above.
On the sailing boat, Matthew had just finished his makeup and was standing on the side of the boat, familiar with the pirate scimitar used by Johnny Depp.
After a while, there is an action scene with him as the main one.
This is an action scene divided into dozens of short shots, with Captain Will Turner and Jack Sparrow snatching warships from the British army for their respective purposes.
Since they only have two people and the British army has a small team, a conflict will break out between the two sides.
At the end of the conflict, Will Turner and Jack Sparrow grabbed the Interceptor, but the filming is now on the Mrs. Washington, which acts as the Interceptor. The crew slightly changed the layout of the deck, making the set look different from the Interceptor.
This is the sea, and the crew does not have a second real wooden sailboat to use. The scene of jumping back to Los Angeles before shooting.
After trying Depp's pirate scimitar, he slashed a few times, Matthew felt it was too light, half lighter than his prop sword, and he didn't use any force at all.
Johnny Depp was put on makeup and got on the boat. The crew was almost ready. Director Gore Vepinsky came over and explained a few words, and specifically reminded Matthew to pay attention to the severity of the actions he took after the action.
When filming at the studio Blacksmith shop, there was an action scene where Will Turner knocked down Jack Sparrow in the swordplay, and then Jack Sparrow used a gun, but when he fought with Johnny Depp's stunt stand-in, he failed to grasp the right measure, and it was a little heavier, almost causing the stunt actor to be injured.
Matthew did not do it on purpose, but just didn't master the strength well, and since then, he has also added some caution.
After all, this is the Hollywood crew, not the highly professionally trained coaches in the fitness club.
After the crew was ready, Matthew and Johnny Depp came to the rudder near the ship, and the filming began.
The camera hanging in the air slowly retreated, and Johnny Depp wore a dirty pirate hat, twisted his cat steps, held a musket, and carefully came out from the back of the rudder. Matthew held his pirate scimitar in his hand and followed from the other side.
Like last shot, his look was completely opposite to the squeamish Johnny Depp.
Matthew's shirt buttons were specially opened with two buttons on his upper body, and his strong chest muscles were vaguely visible during his movements. In addition, he specially wetted shirts in order to connect to the previous scene, his outstanding figure showed off.
Jack Sparrow's selling point is very prominent, and his selling point is also prominent. The crew also put a lot of effort into Will Turner's styling.
In most of the shootings in which Matthew and Johnny Depp appeared, director Gore Vipensky, in addition to the main camera, also arranged for the camera to capture close-ups of the two.
On the platform below the rudder, a small team of British soldiers were transporting goods. Johnny Depp stepped on the ecstatic cat steps and walked down the stairs. Matthew overturned the guardrail of the rudder platform and jumped down directly.
The scenes here are changed later. The earliest script was a literary drama that was mentioned in Yibian, but after the correction, it became a situation similar to the action scenes of the Blacksmith shop, using action scenes to shape Will Turner's character.
When facing Elizabeth Swan, Will Turner disguised himself as a polite gentleman, but most of the time, especially when it is necessary to do it, he is like a blacksmith's iron furnace, a man full of flames.
Elizabeth Swan was captured by the pirates, and Will Turner was the one who was most eager to rescue her. It was impossible to go on as slow as Jack Sparrow.
"Do not move!"
Johnny Depp's single firearm was aimed at a small team of British soldiers.
The platform was only four feet high. Matthew and Johnny Depp cooperated with each other and jumped down from above and landed between two British soldiers. He waved his left fist and knocked down the soldier on the left, and then smashed the hilt of his right hand on the head of the soldier on the right.
Two soldiers collaborated to fall.
The British soldiers were carrying goods without weapons. Seeing this, they rushed up. Matthew waved his scimitar and slapped the front soldier in the front door, then flew up and kicked the man behind the vitals...
These action scenes were drilled in advance, but they could not last long. Soon, director Gore Vibinsky called for a stop to shoot and handed over the shooting work to action director George Ruger, and Robert Anderson also entered the set to coordinate the action scenes of Matthew and Johnny Depp.
However, Johnny Depp happily changed the stunt actor to play, and the subsequent shooting became fragmented, and the scenes between Will Turner and Jack Sparrow were completely dismantled for shooting.
The two have completely different fighting styles. Matthew is straightforward and powerful. Johnny Depp's stunt stand-in continues to form a sharp contrast.
The play on the Washington Post was filmed for five days. As Jeffrey Rush came to Alpurco, Matthew was temporarily idle. He did not return to Los Angeles, but walked around Alpurco, enjoying different Latin styles.
However, the crew specially reminded him not to enter certain areas. Drug dealers in Mexico are rampant and even police dare to kill them.
Of course, Matthew would not take risks, but just roughly turned around in the bustling area of Alpurco. In fact, except for the enthusiastic Latin girls, there was nothing good to watch here.
Two short days of doing nothing passed by, and he soon returned to the filming. Jerry Brookheimer also came to Alpurco, and his agent Helen Hermann came with him.
“The scenery in the Caribbean is very nice.”
On a yacht rented by the crew, Helen Hermann stood behind Matthew and said, "It's a great place to go on vacation."
"You said so sad." Matthew looked at the island faintly visible in the distance, wearing Will Turner's outfit. "I thought you came here to visit the set."
Helen Herman stepped forward, held the guardrail next to him, and changed the topic, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley."
Matthew nodded and admitted, "It's OK. Well... how to say it, this crew is full of friendship." He thought for a while and said, "Depp is a weird guy, but not a bad guy. As for Keira, a girl who is less than eighteen years old, has a good family background and a good personality."
Some people in the crew said that Kayla Knightley was extremely inferior, which led to extreme self-pride and a very awkward personality. However, what he saw was exactly the opposite. Perhaps like most Hollywood actors, Kayla Knightley had different faces to different people.
He and Depp, who have a similar status in the crew, naturally talk and laugh, but they may not have such a good attitude towards ordinary actors or staff.
This is human nature, and it is also very normal in Hollywood.
Anyway, with Jerry Brookheimer's name as the gold medal producer, the atmosphere of the crew is really good.
The only thing that is not very harmonious is that some paparazzi followed him from Los Angeles to Alpurco, and they would be often harassed when they go out.
Helen Hermann took a strand of hair that was blown away by the sea breeze and said, "You continue to unite and be in love, and I will take responsibility for the fight."
Matthew wasn't polite, "Isn't this the job of an agent?"
The agent is not only a buffer between the actors and the crew, but also a buffer between the actors.
He actually knew very well that the three characters Will Turner, Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swan had never disappeared in secret, but these competitions were limited to the level of agents. He had never talked about this with Johnny Depp and Kayla Knightley.
All three, including Kayla Knightley, who is less than eighteen years old, are smart people.
Facing the salty sea breeze, Matthew looked into the distance, and the speedboat that picked up the cast and crew had not come back yet.
The crew's location today is a small beach island. The water level near the island is too light, and the yacht cannot get past it. They can only use speedboats that match the yacht to pick it up and drop it off. Fortunately, there are no large scenes in the shooting here and there is no need to transport large equipment.
After waiting for twenty minutes, the ten-meter-long speedboat finally came back. Matthew got on the speedboat, but Helen Hermann did not keep up.
The speedboat turned around and returned to the island. The island was really small. From a distance, it could be at most only a dozen square kilometers, and there was only a wooden old-style pier.
After getting on the dock, Matthew found that the scenes between Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley were not completed, but it was the last one.
Instead of going to the beach, Matthew followed an assistant director to a group of actors with a very handsome appearance at the Pier Pier, and waited.
The scenes on the beach ended, and director Gore Vepinski quickly brought the staff over. Those who completed the scenes took a speedboat and those who had the scenes continued to shoot.
Kayla Knightley did not leave. She quietly walked to Matthew before filming started and whispered, "Depp brought two bottles of good wine, and we three will leave after finishing the work."
Not far away, Johnny Depp turned his head and squeezed his eyes at Matthew, while Matthew raised his thumbs up and expressed his full agreement.
Although the speedboat is not small, there are many people on the pier now, and the speedboat has to be picked up and delivered at least three times.
In fact, when she was in Los Angeles, Kayla Knightley yelled to go to Depp's Black Mamba bar to have a drink, but her mother was in Los Angeles at the time and often went to the crew to supervise and couldn't find any opportunity.
Matthew also heard Johnny Depp say before that he came to the Caribbean this time and specially brought a few bottles of good whiskey. After coming to Alpurco, he even spent a lot of money to find someone to get some top-quality Mexican agave.
Chapter completed!
