The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the crew arrived on a small island thirty-five nautical miles away from Santo Domingo, ready to shoot a large-scale action scene.
Since August last year, Disney Studios has leased a private island with a white sand beach here to renovate the location for the filming of "Gathering Souls", which was completed at the end of last year, but director Gore Wibinski also asked for vegetation to cover the scenery built by the crew, so as to be more in line with the shabby and rough texture.
Matthew put on his makeup on a hundred-foot-long yacht rented by the crew, and took a speedboat with Johnny Depp to the island's dock.
On the pier, the two took their respective assistants and walked unhurriedly towards the white sand beach where they were filming.
"Was Kayla out of trouble last night?" Johnny Depp asked in a curious whisper, "How did I hear you talking on the phone in the hallway and asking out loud what was wrong with Kayla." ”
How to explain this kind of thing to Johnny Depp, Matthew couldn't say it directly, thought about it, and said, "Something unexpected happened." ”
Johnny Depp is not an innocent boy, and probably guessed that Matthew and Keira Knightley were together again, so he didn't ask any more.
Standing on the periphery of the set, Matthew looked ahead and Keira Knightley was performing a one-man show.
Director Gore Wibinski gave the order, and Keira Knightley threw away her hat, pretended to be sunburned, held her forehead and shook it, and fell headlong on the beach.
Keira Knightley is only twenty years old now, and she can be said to be the lucky one among Hollywood actresses, but since this filming, Matthew can also feel that Keira Knightley is still in addition to habitual actions such as lip biting, and her acting skills have actually improved quite significantly.
This scene was filmed once, the crew quickly adjusted the venue, and an assistant director also came over and informed Matthew and Johnny Depp to prepare.
Keira Knightley also walked over at this point.
Matthew leaned into her ear and whispered, "Are you alright?"
"It's okay. Keira Knightley lowered her pirate hat unnaturally, "Don't give me this mess next time." ”
Matthew was quite innocent, "I didn't give it, you asked for it yourself." In retaliation for that remark, he said, "Kayla, you can dilute it and use it again." ”
Keira Knightley turned her head and glared at him fiercely.
After a few minutes of waiting, director Gore Wibinski beckoned the actors into the set, and Matthew, Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp all arrived on the white sand beach.
In addition, Jack Davenport, who played James Norrington, was involved in the filming.
Gore Verbinski took Keira Knightley aside and said, "You're here to watch, remember to shout in a hurry." ”
Keira Knightley nodded, she wasn't stupid, she knew that her character had actually become a supporting actress.
Fortunately, her purpose is just to use this series to gain popularity and make money, and she doesn't care too much about the role of the role, and her main direction now is literary and artistic films.
After giving Keira Knightley, Gore Wippinski came to the three actors who were the centerpoints of the filming, and asked Matthew, Johnny Depp, and Jack Davenport to stand in a triangle around David Jones' heart.
He first said to Matthew, "Will Turner's purpose is clear, to pierce David Jones' heart and save your father, no one can stop you!"
"Understood. Matthew said.
Gore Wibinski then said to Jack Davenport, "Your purpose is to get the heart, and whoever has the key is your enemy." ”
Jack Davenport didn't speak, just nodded vigorously.
In the end, Gore Verbinski stood opposite Johnny Depp and emphatically said, "Depp, your attitude determines the outcome of this battle." ”
Johnny Depp pinched his orchid finger and opened his mouth wide exaggeratedly, "Wow......"
Gore Verbinski also knew him, ignored him, and continued, "You are familiar with Will Turner, and you know that in terms of force alone, Witt Turner is the strongest, so if you want to get Davy Jones's heart, you must unite with Norrington against Will Turner, and at the same time, you have to prevent Norrington from snatching the heart, and you have to deal with it immediately." ”
"Rest assured. Johnny Depp squirmed, "It's a little bit for me." ”
Gore Wibinski quit the filming set and took part in the shoot with a camera himself.
Blazing sunlight shone down from the sky and shone on Matthew, Johnny Depp and Jack Davenport.
"We'll talk about that later. The sword in Jack Davenport's hand pointed at Johnny Depp, "I'm going to kill this despicable pirate who ruined my life first!"
Johnny Depp suddenly said, "Wait! Should we verify this claim first?" He smiled at Matthew and said to Jack Davenport, "Who the hell did you take the opportunity to let go of the pirate and take your sweetheart for yourself when you put me, a notorious pirate, in prison?"
He raised an eyebrow, "Is it me? So, whose fault is it? Who made you a drunken low-ranking sailor and at the mercy of pirates?"
Johnny Depp suddenly flashed his pirate cutlass and pointed it at Matthew, "It's him!" he shouted at Jack Davenport, "Don't you want revenge? ”
Matthew drew his saber and pointed it at Johnny Depp.
"I want to thank you, Jack. His face was gloomy and he looked very angry, "Even if you trick me into getting on David Jones's ship and let me pay the debt on your behalf!"
Johnny Depp said calmly, "You're welcome. ”
Jack Davenport said at this point, "Unfortunately, Mr. Turner, he was right. ”
Johnny Depp laughed, "I knew you would be on my side, only then can we deal with the mighty monster Will!"
"Wow!"
Jack Davenport yelled and took the lead in making a move, the pirate scimitar in his hand slashed directly, Matthew dodged to dodge, and Johnny Depp's attack on the other side also arrived, but the knife in his hand was aimed at Matthew's hand holding the key.
Matthew swung his sword to block, and with a crisp impact, the pirate scimitar in Johnny Depp's hand almost flew out.
But on the other side, Jack Davenport's knife slashed again, Matthew dodged, grabbed his wrist, and kicked Jack Davenport's ass according to the pre-set routine, Jack Davenport staggered forward several steps, and almost fell on the beach.
Taking advantage of this time, Johnny Depp bent down to snatch the key from Matthew's hand, and Matthew swung his saber and fought with him.
Then, Jack Davenport came again, and Matthew was one-on-two, and even without action routines, it was easy to deal with.
But such action shots can't last, he himself is okay, and he is relaxed, and after Johnny Depp and Jack Davenport play a few tricks, the action starts to get scattered.
"Ka!" Gore Verbinski quickly shouted to stop filming while the fight on the set was still under control, saying, "This is over!"
He then said to the action director, "Let's shoot short shots of the action!"
The long shots of action scenes can be exponentially more difficult to shoot, especially with guys like Johnny Depp who lack both strength and physical flexibility.
Shooting with short shots, and then splicing with sharp editing in the later stage, is undoubtedly the best way to shoot.
When filming paused, Matthew put away his sword, Johnny Depp came over and complained, "You almost made my knife fly off again." ”
Matthew first waved his hand to Bella Anderson, who came over with a cup, signaling that he didn't need to drink water, and then said to Johnny Depp, "I've collected my strength." He walked over and put his arm around Johnny Depp's shoulders, "Depp, you need to exercise, start tomorrow morning, go for a morning run with me." ”
"Ah......" Johnny Depp looked up at the sky, "Matthew, do you think the sun is good today?"
"What day has the sun been bad lately?" Matthew shook his head and said no more.
This is Johnny Depp's private matter, and since he doesn't want to do it, no one can force it.
It's like an investment thing, Matthew once reminded Johnny Depp more than once, but Johnny Depp still cooperated with a not very reliable investment institution in Matthew's eyes under the matchmaking of the manager.
Something like this, let alone a friend, even a brother can't interfere.
Frankly speaking, Johnny Depp trusts his agent and manager more in this kind of work.
Even if it's Matthew, it's the same.
There are some things that he can only say to help as much as possible, but whether he can achieve the effect or not is not within his control at all, after all, he is just a Hollywood star.
Isn't even God just watching the world?
At this time, the action director entered the filming set, beckoned Matthew and Johnny Depp over, began to explain and demonstrate in detail the next action breakdown routine, and asked Matthew and the three to conduct a proper rehearsal again before filming.
The shooting has slowed down, most of the shots are two or three seconds long, and there are very few shots that are more than five seconds, but the number of NG is not much, and Matthew is also very easy to deal with the attacks of Jack Davenport and Johnny Depp alone.
However, in the action scenes without frontal shots, all of them are filmed by stunt doubles, even Matthew.
This action scene is huge in terms of the number of shots and the scale of shooting, and people's energy and physical strength are limited, and Matthew can't tire himself down in a day of shooting.
What's more, there is also an action scene that unfolds on the giant wooden wheels mobilized by the crane.
Filming on this island took nearly ten days, and then the crew moved to another island to shoot the cannibal scene.
