The pre-screening training lasted from early July to August, and in addition to various action scenes, Matthew also rehearsed some literary scenes with the other two protagonists, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, which also made him more certain that in terms of acting, Johnny Depp could completely crush him and Keira Knightley.
Matthew found that Keira Knightley's acting skills are not much better than him.
In rehearsals, Keira Knightley always repeatedly uses some of the same movements to express the emotions of the characters, and these actions are still a habit in her own life, such as her signature movements are biting her lip and pouting her lips when she speaks, and she tries to open her mouth wide and show her teeth when she laughs.
It is clear that he and Keira Knightley are essentially vases, and the acting role of this play can only be picked up by Johnny Depp.
and Jeffrey Rush, the Oscar-winning actor's acting skills are certainly not bad.
However, Jeffrey Rush is basically alone in the set and rarely gets together with other actors.
The training is gradually coming to an end, and the preparation of the crew is about to be completed, and the actors such as Matthew have also reduced their action training and focused on the rehearsal of some important scenes.
Many directors don't like to let the actors rehearse in advance when shooting, thinking that it will limit the actors' performance, but Jerry Bruckheimer, a typical commercial entertainment producer, doesn't care about this at all, and his crew is as precise as a precision instrument processing line.
Johnny Depp and Captain Jack Sparrow are the most uncertain part of the assembly line.
But Matthew believes that this uncertainty comes from the ceiling, and no one knows what Johnny Depp will be like when he goes crazy, many of Johnny Depp's fantasy characters are like this, and the character portrayal looks a bit absurd
Even, Matthew believes that the decadent man has three major joys, Caribbean Lying, Sparrow Huang and Uncle Ge Paralysis.
Besides, Captain Jack Sparrow is one of the three main characters of the film, since he is the protagonist, can he not be "shocked" when he encounters something?
In mid-August, the crew ended all the preliminary preparations, and specially gave all the cast and crew three days off, and started filming when the vacation was over.
Matthew finished training, returned to his independent locker room, changed back into clothes, came to the training hall again, said hello to the person in charge of the props team, and took an aluminum alloy prop sword.
Now that he has decided to go the route of movement and appearance, these will help him in the future, and he has become more and more fond of sports.
With a long bag with a sword on his back, Matthew was in addition to the training hall when he met Keira Knightley coming from the locker room.
"Hi Kayla. He greeted casually.
Both were leaving, and Keira Knightley walked with him, "Going to get a 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 don't dare to use it lately." ”
Accustomed to the steel saber of the past, and then using this light and fluttering aluminum prop sword, it will be like the first time he practiced with Robert Anderson, and the shot will be too powerful.
Keira Knightley patted the long bag on his back, "Don't you forget to practice on vacation?"
"Everyday exercise. Matthew was telling the truth, "Exercise is a lot of fun. ”
Keira Knightley shrugged her shoulders and said, "Maybe. She added, "Before I made 'Playing Like Beckham', I practiced football for a while, and when I have time, I will take you to play football. ”
"Okay. Matthew answered.
"It's soccer!" stressed Keira Knightley, "not American football. ”
"It doesn't matter. Matthew doesn't care, "American football and soccer are fine. ”
He can still understand soccer that American soccer really doesn't know anything.
Matthew and Keira Knightley walked out of the studio together when they were confronted by a fat man who stopped abruptly as he passed by Matthew.
He shouted uncertainly, "Matthew Horner?"
Hearing an unfamiliar voice calling out to himself, Matthew immediately stopped, turned his head to look at the fat man, and looked up and down.
The fat man was also looking at him, and gradually connected the man with a sturdy posture, a handsome face, and a strong aura on the other side with the poor boy more than three years ago.
"You're Matthew Horner!" he fully confirmed this.
Matthew also recognized who the fat man was, and said with a polite smile, "Long time no see, Mr. Dennis Coulter." ”
This fat man was none other than Dennis Coulter, his temporary agent at Starlight.
"It's me! it's me!" Dennis Coulter laughed, smiling a little awkwardly, "Matthew, I didn't expect to see you here." ”
Keira Knightley saw Matthew meet an acquaintance and whispered, "I'll go first, and the driver is still waiting for me outside." ”
Matthew nodded, "See you another day." ”
In the contract signed by the main actors, the crew will provide special car transportation, and those who drive themselves like him will be converted into a transportation subsidy, which will be paid together with the last salary.
Watching Matthew whisper to Keira Knightley, Dennis Coulter had mixed feelings in his heart, "Band of Brothers", "The Mummy Returns" and "The Scorpion King" He watched them all, and watched Matthew Horner go from an inconspicuous supporting role to a high-profile actor, and from a leading actor to a well-known actor......
Who would have thought that this little actor he missed would have such great potential?
No, he wasn't even a junior actor at that time, just the lowest kind of extras.
"Mr. Dennis Coulter. Matthew turned back and continued to say to his former agent, "We haven't seen each other in three years. ”
"yes. Dennis Coulter moved his fat body slightly, "I'm here to do something." ”
He pointed to Matthew's studio and said, "The crew needed a lot of extras, and I had a couple of clients who were selected. ”
"Hmm. Matthew nodded and said, "Hurry up, the crew gets off work early today, and there will be no one in a while." ”
Dennis Coulter opened his mouth, as if to say something, but swallowed it back again.
Matthew didn't see it, and said politely, "Contact more in the future, I have to go." ”
"Good ......," Dennis Kurt could only say, "Goodbye, Matthew." ”
"Goodbye. Matthew finished and left.
He didn't mention those things back then, let alone say that he wanted to help, and Dennis Coulter's one had been turned over three years earlier.
Dennis Kurt looked at Matthew's distant background, and finally didn't say anything about asking him for help, three years have passed, he is still the agent of a group of extras, but the other party has become the actor of Hollywood's first-line productions, and the difference between the two levels is too much.
After leaving Disney Studios, Matthew did not go home, but went to the angel agency, and the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" had already paid his first $600,000 to the agency's account, and he needed to go over and sign it so that the finance could transfer the money to his account.
Arriving at the Angel Agency building, he parked his car and walked into the office, where he found Helen Herman standing in the front lobby, talking to a girl with short blond hair, the blonde girl had her back to the door, her figure was similar to Helen Herman, and her back looked familiar.
Next to the blonde girl, there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old black-haired girl, who had probably noticed him and was turning to look at the door.
Matthew's first impression when he saw the black-haired girl was that she was too mature, obviously with the green face of baby fat, but her body was hot, especially the huge breasts, it was difficult not to attract attention.
And her eyes, the light blue eyes are as bright as gems, so bright that they even feel a little fake.
Seeing the black-haired girl looking at him, Matthew smiled at her, and as soon as the smile bloomed on her face, the girl with short blond hair also turned her head, only glanced at it, and even turned her body around.
"Matthew!" she took a step forward.
"Amanda!" Matthew immediately recognized as the girl who had worked as a temporary front desk for an angel agency, had a good relationship with him at the time, and had helped him in the audition for Britney's MV, "Aren't you in the UK?"
"It's summer vacation. Amanda grinned and said, "I'll come and have a look." ”
She turned to look at the dark-haired girl, "By the way, do a little favor to a friend." ”
Matthew walked up to her, and Helen Herman came over there, beckoned to his agent, and continued to say to Amanda, "How did you cut your hair?"
Amanda has short blonde hair, which is not as long as his hair.
"It's so easy to take care of. Amanda seems to remember her friendship with Matthew and is visibly very enthusiastic about him, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've become a big star." ”
Matthew winked at Helen Herman, "It's Helen who promoted me." ”
Helen Herman glanced at Matthew and said nothing.
"How many days in Los Angeles?" Matthew asked again.
"I'm going back tomorrow. Amanda also seemed a little helpless, looked at the black-haired girl, and said, "If I didn't bring Anna here, I wouldn't have come to Los Angeles." ”
It was only then that she remembered and introduced Matthew, "This is Alexandra D'Addario, my ...... Well, a younger 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're a Hollywood star." ”
"yes, I am. Matthew's face was naturally thick enough, he looked at Amanda and then at Helen Herman, understood, and asked the brunette girl, "Do you want to develop in Hollywood too?"
"Hmm!" Alexandra Daddario nodded.
Later, Helen Herman invited a few people upstairs, and Alexandra Daddario, curious about the entertainment agency, asked her assistant to show her around, while the three of them chatted in the office for a while.
The girl is the daughter of a friend of Amanda's father and is interested in going to Hollywood, so Amanda brings her to Helen Herman to leave basic information.
Amanda hadn't finished her studies and didn't stay in Los Angeles for long, and Matthew took her to the international airport the next day.
For the next two days, Matthew was basically adjusting, and filming was about to begin at Disney Studios' Stage 2.
