Due to the relative inexperience of Sky Dance Pictures, the project of "Spartan 300 Warriors" is slowly advancing, and David Ellison relies heavily on the operation of Bearded Jack and Helen Herman in terms of production, and most of the behind-the-scenes staff that the crew has hired are from Helen Herman's angel agency.
After several years of development, although the real big-name star client of the angel agency is only Matthew, Helen Herman has used Matthew's trump card to the greatest extent, in the past two years, whenever there is a project starring Matthew, she will appropriately stuff some other clients of the angel agency when negotiating for Matthew.
There are also in the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean", but the position is not very critical, and among the large number of actors, Eva Green's role is still important.
As time went on, after the arrival of December, the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean was gradually coming to an end.
Unlike the previous filming of "Gathering Souls", most of the scenes in "The End of the World" were almost concentrated in front of a green screen in the studio, and a lot of motion capture technology was used.
Similarly, the actors involved in the filming often have hundreds of people, especially in many action scenes, where Matthew, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley's action scenes are set in large-scale scuffles.
As for all the boats used to sail, of course, they are all fake, and they are basically realized in the mode of model plus CG.
The importance of the artist to such a film can be imagined, even no less than the director, in Hollywood the artist has a more figurative name, that is, the art director, after years of development, this position has become the head of all the art departments behind the film, and the director and cinematographer together to grasp the specific embodiment of the whole film on the screen.
"Matthew, you are the key and central point of this action scene. ”
On an ancient hull surrounded by a green screen, the action director made a point of explaining to Matthew, "You are facing an undead monster, you have to fight with Elizabeth, and you must also take proper care of Jack Sparrow's side, in the battle between you, your force is one of your biggest battles." ”
Ma Xian was familiar with the weight of the new prop sword, and then nodded and said, "I understand. ”
He swung his sword with one hand and made a few straight stab movements, and the prop sword he was used to before, in a shooting, collided with the prop machete in the hand of the stuntman, probably because he was used too many times and too often, plus his strength was too great, and it broke directly.
Keira Knightley, dressed in a pirate outfit, came aboard the ship, she was also holding a prop sword, and when she saw the action director go to explain the precautions to Davy Jones's crew, she said to Matthew, "Come on, duel!"
Matthew smiled and looked at Keira Knightley, "Honey, are you really going to compare yourself to me?"
Keira Knightley gestured, "I've wanted to teach you a lesson, come on." ”
Matthew stooped down and gave a gentlemanly salute and said, "Here we go." ”
"Come on!" Keira Knightley showed no signs of weakness.
Seeing that she was ready, Matthew was not polite, and suddenly took a step forward, and the sword in his hand stabbed Keira Knightley's shoulder, Keira Knightley raised her sword and wanted to block, but this is not a routine in the shooting, Matthew has received professional fencing training, and he practiced once a week before filming, and his athletic talent is high.
Keira Knightley's arm had just been raised, and the saber in her hand was still parrying, when she noticed that Matthew's sword was already pointed at her right shoulder.
"Surrender, Kayla. Matthew gently patted Keira Knightley on the shoulder with his prop sword.
Like Elizabeth Swann in the film, Keira Knightley lifted her chin and face up, saying, "Surrender? ”
Matthew sneered, "Why don't we switch places and compete with swords." ”
Keira Knightley glared at Matthew fiercely and changed the subject, "Don't talk about these useless things, let's go through the scene again, filming will start soon." ”
Johnny Depp got on the boat at this time, walked over with his orchid fingers, and said, "Matthew, Kayla, the filming is about to end, and our trio is going to break up." ”
Matthew put away his prop sword and said, "Are we going to have a gangster party?"
"Don't count me in. Keira Knightley answered, "What are you doing with those parties besides drugs, alcohol, and women?"
Johnny Depp asked, surprised, "Have we ever had any of these parties?"
Matthew replied in the affirmative, "Depp did, I definitely didn't!" He said seriously, "I think it's time to have a party like this." ”
There was no venue before, and there was a bit of a shortage of funds, but now Horner Manor is big enough, and the first salary of up to $5 million for "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" will also arrive in a few days, do you want to contact Liszt?
I've been busy with the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean for the last few months, both physically and mentally, and it's time to relax.
Keira Knightley walked over and said, "It's said that someone in the circle has recently had AIDS. ”
Matthew shrugged his shoulders and said in a low voice, "Didn't you get a blood test?"
Keira Knightley bit her lower lip and glared at Matthew fiercely, no longer speaking.
The stuntmen and extras were ready, and Matthew, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley also ended their relaxed chit-chat and came to their respective stands.
Director Gore Wibinski gave the order, and the filming of the final melee scene of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World" began.
Matthew and Keira Knightley stand back to back, each with a sword pointed at the crew of the sea monster who is surrounding Davy Jones, playing the stuntman of the sea monster, wearing a specially made motion capture suit, which looks a little weird.
But in Matthew's current state of performance, these are terrifying monsters.
A stuntman rushed over, Matthew swung his sword to block the axe in his hand, and kicked him in the chest, and the stuntman immediately flew backwards with the help of the safety rope behind his back and fell directly out of the boat.
Behind him, Keira Knightley off a stuntman at the same time.
Then, Matthew turned around and stabbed Keira Knightley in the side with a sword, and the stuntman immediately fell to the ground clutching his chest.
According to a pre-rehearsed routine, Matthew usually took down five or six enemies by chopping melons and vegetables, showing the strength of Will Turner, who, in the words of director Gore Wibinski, is the force and toughness of the latter two sequels.
It's a large-scale scuffle, and a large number of extras are also beating each other up, serving as a backdrop for the main characters.
On the other side, Johnny Depp's action scenes are also going on, and Jack Sparrow's fighting style is very different from Will Turner's, still dominated by fighting.
"Stop!" director Gore Verbinski shouted to stop filming, "this is over. ”
He then shouted loudly, "Depp quit filming, let's shoot the proposal scene!"
This is a marriage proposal in battle, a marriage vow, which has been disassembled into more than ten shots because of the relationship with a large number of action scenes.
After filming restarted, Jeffrey Rush also entered the set as a witness for Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan.
Unlike ordinary weddings, this scene was stopped and filmed for half an afternoon before it was near the end.
A scuffle was in full swing and the set was as chaotic as a wet market, and Jeffrey Rush jumped onto the boat gang and shouted, "Now...... You can kiss!"
Matthew kicks an enemy and reflexively grabs Keira Knightley's arm, which turns around and kisses Matthew.
At this kind of moment, the battle or something naturally has to be put aside, after all, this is a movie, a couple who have gone through hardships and dangers in the trilogy, if they don't kiss, how can the audience's emotions be cathartic?
Although Gore Verbinsky belongs to a relatively individual genre among commercial film directors, he must also follow the consistent principles of films produced by Di Baobao, and in the end it must be a family ending suitable for all ages.
"Ka, this scene is over!"
The shout sounded to stop, and director Gore Verbinski slowly stood up from behind the monitor and raised the megaphone that had been prepared for a long time, "Now I announce that the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World is complete!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Johnny Depp's cheers rang out, and Captain Jack Sparrow took off his pirate hat and threw it directly into the air, "Wow......"
Matthew and Keira Knightley also raised their arms and shouted, "Wow! Wow......"
The entire crew erupted in enthusiastic responses, and excited shouts came one after another.
With just two cameramen calmly in front of each other, each with their own cameras, faithfully documenting what is happening on set, all of which could be used as material for the promotion of the film and the production of DVDs.
"It's finally over......"
Keira Knightley muttered, opened her arms and hugged Matthew, who gently patted her on the back before turning around and hugging a stuntman.
Most of the crew members have been working together for six months, and in any case, the filming of "Soul Coffin" and "The End of the World" is an unforgettable and strange journey.
After Matthew hugged Jeffrey Rush, got off the boat and hugged the rest of the cast and crew one by one, Johnny Depp, Gore Wibinski and Keira Knightley all doing the same thing as him.
The crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" will completely end filming from today, and actors like Matthew will also leave the crew.
Matthew felt to himself that the pirate trio of Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan would be hard to get together again.
According to the current development trend, he and Depp's salary alone is estimated to collapse Disney.
