There are a lot of emotional scenes about Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan in the filming, but unlike "The Scorpion King", which directly undresses and snaps, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is more subtle, which also brings a little trouble to Matthew, in fact, the emotional scenes of this film cannot be too large, not to mention anything else, Keira Knightley is only seventeen years old, although her mother did not accompany the whole filming, but she will come to the crew every few days.

After completing the scene at the Governor's Palace, Matthew temporarily left the crew, and there was no filming of his scene for the next two days, because the pirate cave in the second studio had not yet been built, and the crew was ready to go out on location, first to Long Island, New York, and then to the Caribbean.

Matthew got a general idea that the crew was going to shoot some of the scenes of the "Interceptor" on Long Island.

Matt O'Connor, the crew's nautical consultant, rented a huge old sailing ship, the Lady Washington, to act as the "Interceptor" during filming.

As for the "Black Pearl", the crew has invested heavily in the construction of a prop ship in the Caribbean.

One more thing, the crew officially changed the name of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", supposedly to leave room for the operation of the sequel.

This is also normal, most Hollywood first-line commercial productions will do this, regardless of whether the film will be successful in the future, leave room for a sequel first, and then say, once it is successful, the sequel will be sorted out.

Sequels to big-selling movies also mean less risk and more profit for studios and distribution companies.

If he wants to go to the Caribbean to shoot, Matthew is still full of expectations, it is said that the Caribbean has charming scenery, but he has a little doubt, what is the relationship between the Caribbean and the Caribbean?

While resting on sledgehammers across the Pacific, Matthew once heard a technician on the construction site talk about Pirates of the Caribbean and the Caribbean series.

One day he showed his eight-year-old nephew "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", and the little nephew knew the words "Pirates of the Caribbean", and then the technician said that he would show him a second part the next day.

As a result, the next afternoon, the little nephew secretly found the technician and asked him, saying that he turned on the computer to see the Caribbean pirates, why the Caribbean pirates released by the technician were all sailors fighting monsters, but the Caribbean pirates he found were a few uncles and aunts in the bath?

Fortunately, the technician was witty, and he hurriedly told his little nephew that the clothes in the first part of the monster fight were dirty, and he hadn't taken a bath yet, so he took a bath first and then filmed the second part, and then the little nephew believed it!

That technician is still very smart!

There was no filming for the next two days, plus the crew had two days off on the weekend, and Matthew had four days off.

However, he has been accustomed to a regular life in recent years, even if he does not work, he will not go to bed too late at night, he will definitely lie down before eleven o'clock, he usually gets up at half past six in the morning, he will go for a morning jog of about fifteen minutes, and then it is a normal work life of the day.

On the first day of the break, Matthew went to the Los Angeles School of Performing Arts in North Hollywood with a box of videotapes in his arms to find David Astor and get ready to get something new.

"No, Matthew. ”

In the office, David Astor put away the tape, touched his bald head, and said, "You've seen all my inventory, nothing else." ”

It's been three years, how many tapes can he keep watching and practicing for this hard-working guy?

"I've seen so much and practiced a lot. Matthew scratched his head embarrassedly, "My acting skills haven't improved, am I too stupid?"

David Astor shook his head, "You're not right. He thought for a moment and asked, "Matthew, I've been watching your works, especially since "Band of Brothers", "The Mummy Returns", "Black Hawk Down", and "The Scorpion King" have all been watched more than once, and your performances in "Black Hawk Down" and "The Scorpion King" are obviously better than "The Mummy Returns", and even more obvious than Ronald Spears, who has almost one face from beginning to end, don't you think that the filming is relatively easy?"

"It's really getting easier and easier to shoot action scenes. Matthew muttered, "Anything else......"

He thought about it for a moment before he said, "It seems to be better than before." ”

"Actually, you've been improving. Although David Astor is not well-known, as an old actor, he is still teaching acting classes, and his vision in this regard is still quite good, "It's just that the speed of progress is relatively slow, which is limited by both your talent and the type of movie you appear in." ”

Matthew understood what he meant, "David, are you saying that acting in an independent film is a better way to hone your acting skills than a commercial one?"

"That's right. David Astor sighed lightly and said, "With your current acting skills, it is not a big problem to deal with the vast majority of commercial entertainment movies, in this type of movie, there are no scenes that are too difficult to perform, and there is no need for actors to explode in their acting skills, and the director's requirements are relatively low......"

He stopped abruptly and looked up at Matthew, "But if you want to have a bigger development, your acting skills can't be wasted, even Tom Cruise, his acting skills are not as bad as the outside world criticizes." ”

"Well, thanks for the reminder, David. "Matthew knows David Astor has good intentions.

This old actor never thought about getting anything from him, and he was willing to help him out of appreciation.

David Astor looked at Matthew, thought for a while, and then said, "You are famous now, and you have chosen a route that suits you, so try to do your best, and if you need help, just ask." ”

Matthew smiled and said, "I will, I still have a lot of guidance in acting." ”

Subsequently, he helped David Astor put the tapes on the corresponding shelves one by one, said goodbye and left.

Walking in the courtyard of the Los Angeles School of Performing Arts, Matthew looked back at the classroom where he once stayed, and could vaguely see the figures inside through the window.

Any person, even a first-line star, once they stop, there will be countless people who want to surpass it.

Walking to the school gate, just as Matthew was thinking about whether he would have to take another acting class when he had time, the Nokia phone in his pocket rang.

He took it out and looked at it, and found that it was a long-lost number.

"Hello, this is Matthew Horner. Matthew asked tentatively, "Yes...... Rachel?"

"Matthew!" the voice sounded in the earpiece with obvious surprise, "I'll try, I didn't expect you to change your phone number yet!"

"How can you contact me if I change my number?" said Matthew with a smile, "I kept this number, just waiting for you to come back." ”

"Hmph...... Hmph......" another voice came from over there, "You're still so good at talking." ”

Matthew remembered what it was like when the two of them were taking acting classes here together and asked, "Where are you now? Canada or are you back in Los Angeles?"

"I'm back! So contact you. When will we have time to get together?"

"I have time today. Matthew put down his phone and looked at the time, "I've been off for the past two days, are you free now?" ”

There was a pause on the other side of the phone, and then he asked, "Of course you have time for a treat, where can we meet?"

Matthew remembers a nice restaurant nearby and says, "I'm in North Hollywood, we go to acting school together, and I'm waiting for you at the door." ”

"It's such a coincidence, I'm also in North Hollywood, you wait for me for a while, and I'll be there in ten minutes!"

Hanging up the phone, Matthew got out of the Los Angeles School of Performing Arts, stood in front of the door, waited patiently, and in less than ten minutes, a crisp voice came.

"Matthew!"

Hearing some familiar voices, Matthew turned his head to see that Rachel McAdams had arrived.

She wears a beige sun hat on her head, her curly blonde hair hangs down from the mask under the hat, swaying gently in the wind, her face is wearing light makeup, her smile is obviously dimple, she still looks so sweet, and she wears an ordinary short denim jacket on her upper body, revealing a horizontal striped t-shirt inside, and brown leggings underneath, highlighting the two legs thin and long.

What caught Matthew's attention the most was that Rachel Mike Adams came by bike.

"Rachel......" Matthew immediately greeted him, "You're still so pretty!"

"Thank you. Rachel McAdams stopped and got out of the car, "You're more handsome than before!"

Matthew stretched out his arms, gave Rachel McAdams a gentle hug, and asked, "Is this going back to Hollywood?"

"Yes!" Rachel McAdams hugged and parted, looked Matthew up and down, and said, "I'm here this time, and I'm not going to go back." ”

Her tone was unusually firm, "I must succeed when I go back to Hollywood this time!"

Matthew nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go to lunch." He looked at the bike, "Is it in the school, I know the security guard at the gate and ask him to take care of it." ”

"Okay. ”

Rachel McAdams cart followed Matthew into the performing arts school, although Matthew was not yet famous enough to brush his face, but often came to David Aster, and the security guard at the door also knew him, he said hello, put the bike away, took Rachel McAdams into the car, and headed east along Laurier Valley Avenue to a restaurant.

This is a relatively upscale restaurant, and like ordinary people, Matthew has money, and he will also pursue enjoyment, as well as a lot of faΓ§ade things.

In fact, this is also normal, the vast majority of people in this world are people like him.

In addition to these, he is still thinking about buying a house recently, he has saved a large part of the salary of "Scorpion King", the first salary of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has arrived, and the remaining two will be available by the end of this year at the latest, and at least two million US dollars by then, you can also consider buying a house of your own.
