Early in the morning of July 1, Matthew rushed to the Disney studio, entered the No. 3 studio where he had come during the audition, and under the guidance of the staff, entered a locker room, changed into the training clothes carefully prepared by the crew, returned to the studio, and walked into the training hall that was separated from each other.
It was probably relatively early, there were only a few people in the training hall, Matthew didn't see the actors he knew, and walked around the training hall of more than 500 square meters, unlike the previous two times he participated in the preparation training before filming, in addition to the flat wooden floor in the middle, this training venue was also arranged with equipment such as wooden bridges, stones and fake boats in some places, and he went over to take a look.
Standing on the edge of a narrow wooden bridge, Matthew reached out and touched it, making sure it wasn't wooden, but the resin material often used in Hollywood.
Behind him, an old man with gray hair walked over and said, "This is made of polyethylene, a very good material, and it is very tough, and people will not easily get hurt when they touch it." ”
Matthew looked at him, the old man was also wearing a training suit, and immediately had a guess in his heart, and immediately introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Matthew Horner, an actor on the crew." ”
"I know you. The old man looked at Matthew and said, "I've seen your audition video with makeup, and your swordsmanship is very good." ”
He suddenly remembered something, and quickly introduced himself, "I'm Robert Anderson." ”
Matthew immediately put on a look of respect and said, "My sword instructor, Patrick Elgra, is your student. ”
Robert Anderson was a little surprised, "Your fancy sword fighting was taught by Patrick Elgra? ”
Matthew humbly said, "I've just scratched the surface. ”
At the entrance of the training hall, someone walked in at this time, Matthew looked at it, it was Jerry Bruckheimer, and Robert Anderson went over to say hello to him, and after waiting for a while, there were actors who walked in one after another.
It is estimated that the crew is specially looking for the actors to play the crew of the Black Pearl.
Subsequently, Oscar-winning actor Jeffrey Rush also came, and his role as Captain Barbossa also had action scenes, and proper training was also essential.
However, he obviously couldn't talk to a young actor like Matthew, and the two sides simply said hello under Jerry Bruckheimer's introduction.
Then, there was another girl with brown hair and blonde hair, and this girl felt that kind of indescribable British classical temperament.
This is also the main partner in the future shooting, and after Jerry Bruckheimer's introduction, Matthew also took the initiative to say hello.
"Hello, Miss Knightley. ”
Matthew took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, Keira Knightley was not very old, but she was from an acting family, and she also seemed very educated, and politely shook his right hand gently, "Hello, Mr. Horner." ”
The two of them may be in the same crew for the next few months, and there are still a lot of rival scenes to rehearse, Matthew smiled deliberately and said, "Call me Matthew." ”
Kelly Knightley nodded slightly, "You can call me Kayla." ”
Matthew then chatted with her a few words, and Keira Knightley also had a few action scenes during the filming, but she didn't need to be trained in swordsmanship, just come twice a week and do proper body coordination training.
The first time they met, Matthew didn't say much, and quickly ended the conversation with each other, this young British actress, what impressed him the most was her appearance, because of the previous relationship, his eyes inadvertently swept over Keira Knightley's chest, and it didn't seem to be as prominent as him.
This is also beneficial, acting in European and American costume dramas, there is no need to tie your chest.
Keira Knightley's face shape is also relatively rare, with a square face, a slightly protruding chin at the mouth position, which seems to cover the sky a little, and the facial lines have straight and stunned edges and corners like knife cuts, in addition to classical, it also gives people a heroic feeling.
This is not the kind of beautiful and sexy type of actress, but this is a more peculiar appearance, which is impressive at first glance.
Jerry Bruckheimer dared to use an actress under the age of 18 as the lead actress in such a $140 million production, and this actress must have her own uniqueness.
This uniqueness is definitely not what Keira Knightley did to make Jerry Bruckheimer happy, it must come from the fit with the character setting.
To put it mildly, reselling Keira Knightley a hundred times isn't worth the money Jerry Bruckheimer Films has invested in Pirates of the Caribbean.
In Hollywood, there is a rather peculiar phenomenon, to interpret classical beauties with extraordinary temperament, directors and producers will give priority to the little flowers from the United Kingdom, and the little flowers of the United States will play the stupid big sister or IT. Characters like Girl are the preferred choice.
The last one to come to the training hall was naturally the biggest actor in the crew, and as soon as Johnny Depp appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.
This famous Hollywood eccentric did not change his clothes, wearing a strange style and bright blue suit, wearing huge gold earrings on his ears, his face was sleepy, and he wore a pair of brown glasses, but he couldn't cover the dark circles behind his eyes, and what was more striking than the dark circles was the exposed gold teeth.
Even without makeup, Johnny Depp has the three-point demeanor of Captain Jack Sparrow, the role of this pirate captain is simply tailor-made for him.
It's no wonder that Jerry Bruckheimer offers a salary far higher than his actual worth, in addition to Johnny Depp's lack of acceptance of such purely commercial entertainment films, it is estimated that there are also reasons for this.
However, Johnny Depp was obviously not ready for training today, got to know the cast and crew of the crew, had no intention of participating in the next training at all, and soon left accompanied by Jerry Bruckheimer.
The others didn't say much, apparently believing that Johnny Depp belonged to the privileged class of the crew.
Training began immediately, and similar to Johnny Depp, the layering in the crew was real, with the other actors warming up under the guidance of Robert Anderson's student Mark Ivey, and Matthew and Kate Knightley, occupying a very large area of the training hall, where Robert Anderson alone directed the most basic warm-up and muscle stretching exercises.
These were very easy for Matthew, who had been doing a lot of exercises in the two years at the fitness club in Neborah.
After warming up, Robert Anderson simply called another assistant to come over and guide Keira Knightley and called Matthew to the sword rack.
Robert Anderson took two swords from the sword stand and threw one of them, Matthew took the prop sword, and the first feeling was that it was light, two-thirds lighter than the one he used in training, and touched the sword with his hand, which looked like a steel sword, but in fact it was a lightweight aluminum alloy.
"Let's try our sword moves......"
Robert Anderson, who is already in his seventies, still looks strong and strikes a pose, and Matthew, of course, will not refuse, saying, "Okay." ”
He has his right foot in front and his toes outward, his left foot in the back, and his toes inward, in a standard starting position.
Robert Anderson nodded secretly, not saying anything else, but in terms of posture, the young actor opposite was impeccable.
"Be careful......"
He reminded him, and the saber in his hand stabbed out.
Matthew was preoccupied all the time, and with a sharp blow in his right hand, the saber slammed directly into Robert Anderson's sword, the most basic block move taught by Patrick Elgra.
Unexpectedly, Robert Anderson took a big step back and said directly, "Stop!"
Ma Correction was about to attack, but quickly stopped and looked at Robert Anderson, "Something wrong with the movement?"
"Nope. Robert Anderson kept shaking his right hand holding the sword and said, "The movement is very standard, but a little ......"
He handed the saber to his left hand and shook his right hand sharply, "Matthew, you use too much force! I'm over seventy years old, and I can't withstand such a great force." ”
Robert Anderson didn't expect that an actor could have so much strength, he has dealt with many actors in Hollywood, and most of the male stars with beautiful muscles are useless.
This man's strength is probably greater than that of a professional sabre player.
Matthew smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I'm used to playing against Patrick Elgra." ”
"My hands hurt. Robert Anderson stepped forward and reminded Matthew, "I'm okay, I'm old, but my training in this area hasn't been interrupted, and if I replace someone who hasn't undergone professional training, I have to get rid of the sword." ”
Matthew nodded, and Robert Anderson said, "It's the actors you're fighting against during the shooting, not people like me, so be careful to control your power." ”
"I see. Matthew took a step back and gestured again, "Robert, let's do it again." ”
"Good!"
Robert Anderson's saber was in his right hand and stabbed at Matthew again, this time with a deliberate effort to control the power and keep the contest going smoothly.
It's said to be a sword match, but in fact, it's just a show, the moves of the two are fancy and beautiful, but the aggression is very limited, not so much that the two are comparing swordsmanship, but whose movements are more handsome and better-looking.
After all, they all use fancy swordsmanship.
In less than a minute, Matthew and Robert Anderson stopped, and Robert Anderson, after all, was older and had begun to gasp.
"It's good! Robert Anderson gasped and said, "Let's skip the basic sword training step. ”
He thought for a moment, then said, "I'm going to talk to Jerry and George about changing Will Turner's motion design." ”
