After entering the crew and participating in pre-shooting training for more than ten days, Matthew has not yet seen the director of the film, Gore Wibinski, even in producer-centered Hollywood, which is a very rare thing, and he guesses that Gore Wibinski may not be too involved in other work on the crew except for filming.

Matthew didn't do any more basic training after day one, and Robert Anderson, after consulting with Jerry Bruckheimer and action director George Ruger, redesigned the more difficult routines that suited him to add to the excitement of future films.

In order to assist Matthew in training, Robert Anderson specially transferred Mark Ivey, who was responsible for training pirate actors, to have the young swordsman train exclusively against Matthew.

Of course, although the action design has been adjusted, the fancy sword fighting is first and foremost beautiful.

Matthew's physical coordination is good, his feet are also very flexible, and after more than two weeks of training, he can even complete some difficult sword movements.

Johnny Depp completed basic sword training, and under the guidance of Robert Anderson, Matthew and he began to rehearse some sparring action scenes.

Unlike Matthew and Mark Ivey, the rehearsal with Johnny Depp, like the actual shooting, is divided into countless small pieces, and each movement will not exceed three seconds at most, and once the time is a little longer, Johnny Depp can't keep up with Matthew's rhythm at all.

Matthew and Johnny Depp have rehearsed a lot and gradually become familiar with each other, although the two do not communicate much except for rehearsals, but he can see that Johnny Depp is a bit weird, but he is a relatively simple person.

Johnny Depp does things a little casually, often doing whatever comes to mind, which seems to be a bit like Vin Diesel, the-stirring stick on the set he met, but except for occasionally being late because of oversleep, there is an essential difference between the two, Johnny Depp has never been in the crew because he has the largest coffee position, forcing anyone to press, but instead seems quite friendly, if someone asks him for help, as long as it is within the scope of his ability, he rarely refuses.

In addition, Depp is very generous, sometimes he wants to eat a certain food at noon, and the takeaway he orders must be available to everyone present.

Some people may think that this is buying people's hearts, but according to Matthew's judgment, Johnny Depp doesn't seem to care much about money and is used to spending lavishly.

In short, Johnny Depp is not difficult to get along with, except for his somewhat weird personality and somewhat casual personality.

The atmosphere of this crew is relatively peaceful, and even Keira Knightley, who is British, has a good background, and looks a little British-style arrogant, gets along well with the people in the crew.

Not to mention Matthew, as long as no one jumps out to be a roadblock, he is still very good at relational to people.

If nothing else, after a month of training, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, the two filming partners, think he's a pretty good guy.

Training is very tiring and energy-consuming, but Matthew enjoys it, when people concentrate on one thing, they will naturally forget about others, and a month of training has also allowed him to completely get rid of the depression of falling out of love.

Some things are in the past.

"John, hold the knife in your hand!"

In the training gym, Matthew said to Johnny Depp opposite, "Don't let me stop your knife from flying!"

The saber in his hand was pointed at Johnny Depp, who was holding a pirate scimitar and seemed to have entered the state of Jack Sparrow, pinching the orchid finger, and said in a girly manner, "You use less strength." ”

"Okay!"

The sword in Matthew's hand stabbed straight out, the speed of his sword was not fast, and the power was not great, it was still a pre-set routine, Johnny Depp swung his knife to block, the swords intersected, and there was a crisp metal collision sound.

The knife in Johnny Depp's hand swung out directly, but Matthew's sword continued to castrate, but fortunately, he practiced for many days and stopped in time, and the aluminum alloy saber stopped a foot away from Depp.

"Oh......" Johnny Depp yawned, "I drank too much last night, and my hands and feet are still a little soft, or will we be here?"

Matthew shrugged, "Whatever you want." ”

Johnny Depp stretched, put the pirate cutlass on the weapon rack, and said, "I'll go to bed." He winked his eyes at Matthew, "Something called me." ”

"Go ahead. Matthew waved his hand, and it wasn't the first time.

This is Johnny Depp, free-spirited and uninhibited.

Johnny Depp left, Mark Ivey was coaching Keira Knightley in body coordination training, Matthew had no opponent to practice, simply went to the far left resting place, fetched a bottle of water, sat on the chair and drank while watching Robert Anderson train the strange-looking pirates.

After watching it for a while, Matthew thought about the filming that would start soon, although Johnny Depp was free and loose, but on the training ground, he would basically think of himself as Captain Jack Sparrow, crazy, twisting, and quite funny.

He can see that Johnny Depp's acting skills are not comparable to himself at all, and the judgment of good or bad acting skills is indeed very subjective, and if there is a big gap between the two actors, it is also very obvious.

Not to mention acting, Jack Sparrow is more conducive to acting than Will Turner in terms of setting, and if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have won over Will Turner.

Johnny Depp's acting skills are better than himself, his fame is greater than himself, his coffee position is higher than his own, and his maverick personality is also very attractive, so it is naturally easier to shine.

Think about the former Orlando Bloom, who was obviously a two-protagonist play, but was suppressed into a supporting actor......

Matthew doesn't want to be so suppressed by Johnny Depp, and he also knows that with a combination of various conditions, it is inevitable that he will be suppressed by Johnny Depp, but the suppression can, like Orlando Bloom, it is really a bit difficult to accept.

How can you make Will Turner shine in the light of Captain Jack Sparrow?

That's something Matthew has been pondering lately.

Frankly speaking, he was able to get so close to Johnny Depp on purpose, wanting to take a closer look at Johnny Depp and find out what was conducive to him when shooting.

Not to mention, I did find some.

Johnny Depp has been an alcoholic all year round, plus he has taken drugs before, his health is not very good, and that kind of motherly and feminine temperament is partly for performance, and partly for himself.

Perhaps this is also the after-effect of Tim Burton's overacting films.

Johnny Depp lacks that masculine temperament, and if he were to play a pure tough guy, he would definitely fight to his death.

So, after thinking about it for a while, Matthew basically decided on a strategy and did the opposite, trying his best to show the masculine side of Will Turner.

By now, he has seen his own characteristics in the camera very clearly.

With a tough face and a strong body, coupled with far better physical fitness and skills than Depp, he can try to contrast with the sissy pirate!

According to his understanding, such a comparison should complement each other, which seems to be more beneficial to the film.

Just as Matthew was thinking, the two people standing at the door of the training hall walked out together, walking towards the exit of the studio while discussing what they had just seen.

"Johnny Depp is notoriously temperamental. Jerry Bruckheimer looked at director Gore Wibinski next to him, "When filming, pay attention to the relationship with him. ”

Gore Verbinski nodded, "Once the shooting starts, he must not be as free and loose as he is now. ”

"No, it won't. "Jerry Bruckheimer has long been prevented, and Johnny Depp is only a second-tier, he can suppress him and his agent," there is a clause in the contract signed by the crew to him, unless he voluntarily waives part of his salary. ”

"That's good. Gore Verbinski has not been on the set for a few days, and his knowledge is relatively limited, "I watched Matthew Horner's two audition videos and just looked at him closely, Matthew Horner is very strong and seems to be very good. ”

Jerry Bruckheimer said, "He has been practicing swordsmanship for more than half a year, and he has been filming war movies and action movies for the last two years, and the related physical training has not been interrupted, and he is a very good action actor." ”

"Jack......" Gore Verbinski said tentatively, "can we make appropriate adjustments to Will Turner's role based on Matthew Horner's actual situation?"

"I had that idea with Terry Lucio. Jack Bruckheimer said that this person is the main writer of the crew, "We don't talk about the characters, just the actors, Matthew Horner is completely different from Johnny Depp, it's like positive and negative poles." ”

Gore Wibinski agrees, "Yes!

Jack Bruckheimer could listen to others and asked, "Tell me what you think." ”

Gore Verbinski was also not polite, and said directly, "Is it okay to do this, we set the pirate and the blacksmith as two characters with completely opposite temperaments, the pirate is feminine and the blacksmith is masculine, the two characters complement each other's temperaments, and there may be a wonderful chemical reaction." ”

Actually, that's what I thought about too. Jack Brookhead said sincerely, "If I hadn't wanted to ask you as a director, I would have asked Terry Lucio to change it." ”

Gore Wibinski was encouraged by these words, and added, "After watching Matthew Horner's sword fight with Johnny Depp, I also have an idea that pirates' fighting style is more subtle and more focused on intrigue in battle! ”

"Gore, asking you to be the director is definitely the best decision I have ever made!" Jack Bruckheimer laughed, "We are completely on the same page!"
