On the side of Alpulco near the sea, a small pier has been clearly remodeled in a typical medieval style, not far from the pier, where a three-masted galleon is moored, and from this side of the pier you can see the busy figures on it.

On the sailboat, Matthew had just finished his make-up and was standing on the side of the ship, familiar with Johnny Depp's pirate cutlass.

After a while, there will be an action scene with him as the main player.

It's an action scene that is split into dozens of short shots, and the plot is that Will Turner and Captain Jack Sparrow snatch a battleship from the British for their own purposes.

Since there were only two of them, the British army had a squad, and a clash would break out between the two sides.

The conflict ended with Will Turner and Jack Sparrow grabbing the Interceptor, but now filming is on the Lady Washington, which acts as the Interceptor, and the crew slightly changed the deck layout to make the set look different from the Interceptor.

This is the sea, and the crew does not have a second real wooden sailboat to use, and the scene of jumping ship will have to wait until it returns to Los Angeles to shoot.

After trying Depp's pirate scimitar and slashing a few times, Matthew felt that it was too light, half as light as his prop sword, and he couldn't use force at all.

Johnny Depp also got on the boat after putting on makeup at this time, and the crew was almost ready, and director Gore Wibinski came over to explain a few words, and specially told Matthew to pay attention to the severity of his actions.

During the filming in the studio blacksmith shop, there was an action scene where Will Turner knocked out Jack Sparrow in a sword game, and then Jack Sparrow used a gun, but when he fought against Johnny Depp's stunt double, he didn't shoot well and was a little heavier, almost causing the stuntman to be injured.

Matthew didn't mean to, he just didn't have the power right, and since then, he has been a little more careful.

After all, this is a Hollywood crew, not a highly trained instructor in a fitness club.

After the crew was ready, Matthew and Johnny Depp came to the rudder, and filming began.

The camera hanging in the air slowly retreated, Johnny Depp wearing a dirty pirate hat, twisting a catwalk, holding a musket, carefully taking the lead from behind the rudder, and Matthew, with his pirate cutlass in hand, followed from the other side.

Like the last shoot, his look is the polar opposite of the squirming Johnny Depp.

The buttons of Matthew's shirt on the upper half of his body were specially opened twice, and the strong chest muscles were faintly visible during the action, and the shirt that was specially wet in order to connect with the previous scene showed his outstanding figure.

Jack Sparrow's selling point is very prominent, and his selling point is equally prominent, and the crew has also put a lot of effort into Will Turner's styling.

In most of the filming where Matthew and Johnny Depp appear, director Gore Wibinski will arrange a camera to capture close-ups of the two in addition to the main camera.

On the platform below the rudder, a squad of British soldiers was loading goods, Johnny Depp stepped on the catwalk of ecstasy, slipped down the stairs, and Matthew climbed over the guardrail of the rudder platform and jumped straight down.

The scenes here were changed later, and the earliest scripts were written in a single stroke, but after the change, it became a situation similar to the action scenes in the blacksmith's shop, and the action scenes were used to shape Will Turner's character.

When facing Elizabeth Swan, Will Turner disguises himself as a polite gentleman, but most of the time, especially when it comes to getting his hands dirty, he is like a blacksmith's furnace, a macho man full of flames.

Elizabeth Swan was captured by pirates, and Will Turner was the one who was in the most hurry to rescue her, and it was impossible to go down as unhurried as Jack Sparrow.

"Don't move!"

Johnny Depp's single-shot musket was aimed at a small group of British soldiers.

The platform was only four feet high, and Matthew and Johnny Depp worked together to jump from it and land between the two British soldiers, who swung his left fist to knock 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 cooperated to fall down.

The British soldiers, who were carrying goods, had no weapons in their hands, and when they saw this, they all rushed up, and Matthew swung his scimitar, slapped it on the front soldier's door, and then flew up and kicked the man in the back......

These action scenes were rehearsed beforehand, but they didn't last long, and soon director Gore Wibinski called for a halt to filming, handing over the work of being in charge 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 switched to stuntmen, and the subsequent filming became fragmented, and the scenes of Will Turner and Jack Sparrow were completely disassembled for filming.

The two have completely different fighting styles, Matthew is straight and mighty, and Johnny Depp's stunt double with all kinds of little tricks continues to be in stark contrast.

The scene on the Lady Washington was filmed for five days, and with Jeffrey Rush coming to Alpulco, Matthew was temporarily idle, and he did not return to Los Angeles, but walked around Alpulco to see the different Latin flavors.

However, the crew specially told him not to enter certain areas, Mexican drug dealers are rampant, and even the police dare to kill.

Matthew, of course, doesn't take any chances, but just takes a rough look around the bustling area of Alpco, and there's not much to see here except for the passionate Latinas.

After two short days of idleness, he was soon back on film, and Jerry Bruckheimer was also in Alpco, along with his agent Helen Herman.

"The Caribbean scenery is amazing. ”

On a yacht rented by the crew, Helen Herman stood behind Matthew and said, "It's a great place to vacation." ”

"You make me sad so much. Matthew, dressed in Will Turner's outfit, looked at the island looming in the distance, "I thought you were here to visit." ”

Helen Herman stepped forward, held on to the guardrail next to her, and changed the subject, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley. ”

Matthew nodded in acknowledgement, "It's okay." Well...... How to say it, this crew is full of friendship. He thought for a moment and said, "Depp is a weirdo, but not a bad guy. Kayla, a girl who is not yet eighteen years old, has a good family background and a good personality. ”

Some people in the crew said that Keira Knightley was extremely inferior, which led to extreme pride and a very awkward personality, but what he saw was the opposite, perhaps like most Hollywood actors, Keira Knightley had different faces in front of different people.

For him and Depp, who are of equal status in the crew, they naturally talk and laugh, and they may not have such a good attitude towards those ordinary actors or staff.

It's human, and it's very normal in Hollywood.

Anyway, with the name of Jerry Bruckheimer's gold medal producer, the atmosphere of the crew is really quite good.

The only thing that is not very harmonious is that some of the paparazzi follow from Los Angeles to Alpulco, and they are often harassed when they go out.

Helen Herman smoothed a strand of hair that had been blown away by the sea breeze and said, "I will take care of the things that you continue to unite and fraternize and tear apart." ”

Matthew wasn't polite, "Isn't this the job of an agent?"

The agent is not only a buffer between the actor and the crew, but also a buffer between the actor and the actor.

He is actually well aware that the three roles of Will Turner, Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann have never disappeared in the shadows, but these battles are limited to the level of agents, and he has never talked about this with Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley.

All three, including Keira Knightley, who was less than eighteen years old, were smart people.

Facing the salty sea breeze, Matthew looked into the distance, and the speedboat that picked up the cast and crew had not yet returned.

The crew's location today is a small beach island, and the water level near the island is too light for the yacht to pass at all, so it can only be picked up and dropped back by a speedboat matching the yacht.

After waiting for a full twenty minutes, the ten-meter-long speedboat finally returned, and Matthew got into the speedboat, but Helen Herman did not follow.

The speedboat turned around and returned to the island, which was indeed very small, no more than a dozen square kilometers from a distance, and only a wooden old pier.

On the dock, Matthew found that the scene between Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley was not finished, but it was also the last scene.

Matthew didn't go to the beach, but followed an assistant director to a team of strange-looking actors at the pier and waited.

When the scene on the beach ended, director Gore Verbinsky quickly came over with the crew, and the people who finished the scene left first on a speedboat, and those who had a scene continued filming.

Keira Knightley didn't leave, she took advantage of the fact that filming hadn't started yet, she quietly walked up to Matthew and whispered, "Depp brought two bottles of good wine, and the three of us left last." ”

Not far away, Johnny Depp turned his head and squeezed his eyes at Matthew, who cocked his thumb in complete agreement.

Although the speedboat is not small, there are many people on the pier now, and the speedboat has to pick up and drop off at least three times.

In fact, when she was in Los Angeles, Keira Knightley clamored to go to Depp's Black Mamba Bar for a drink, but her mother was in Los Angeles at the time and often went to the crew to supervise, so she couldn't find the opportunity at all.

Matthew had also heard Johnny Depp say before that he came to the Caribbean this time and specially brought a few bottles of fine whiskey, and after coming to Alpulco, he spent a lot of money to find someone to get some excellent Mexican agave.

Matthew would certainly not refuse such an invitation.
