As soon as Keira Knightley's words came out, Matthew understood what she meant, but didn't interrupt her.
"Bill Niye is auditioning for Davy Jones. ”
There was no one else in the room at this point, and it was when these words were spoken that Keira Knightley said, "He's a friend of my parents, and he has found me, and I can't excuse myself." ”
The name was unfamiliar to Matthew, and it was not known if he had ever played David Jones.
Seeing that Matthew didn't speak, Keira Knightley said, "At present, there is only one final round of Davy Jones' auditions, and Ian Gray, Jim Broadbent, Richard Grant and Bill Nigh are all candidates, and Bill Nie is not sure of winning." ”
Matthew has already thought about it, since it is the last round of auditions, Bill Nigh must at least meet the crew's requirements for the role.
"Kayla, what am I going to do?" said Matthew, boldly.
Keira Knightley is clearly more mature than she was in previous years, "I'll say hi to director Gore Verbinski and casting director Mustafi, and if you can say hello to them, Bill Niye will have a much better chance of winning." ”
The crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" had a sharp conflict some time ago, and there were several disputes between producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski over the distribution of power in the crew, and finally the differences were temporarily suppressed under the coordination of Disney Pictures.
However, with the super sale of "The Curse of the Black Pearl", director Gore Wibinski's voice will inevitably increase, and in the end, Jerry Bruckheimer, with the intervention of Disney Pictures, made concessions, and the casting of new roles in the crew was based on Gore Wibinski's opinion, and the casting director was also replaced by Gore Wibinski's recommendation.
It also has to do with the failure of "King Arthur", an epic blockbuster box office fiasco that also made Disney Studios no longer fully superstitious about Jerry Bruckheimer's signature as a gold producer.
If it weren't for the failure of "King Arthur", Disney Studios would have suppressed Gore Verbinski.
Matthew has been paying attention to the crew, and he has a relatively comprehensive understanding of the crew's dynamics.
A male lead, plus a female lead, to say hello to director Gore Verbinski, will be somewhat useful.
Perhaps the role of such an extremely important role as David Jones is smaller, but the role of another level of role will undoubtedly be more obvious.
"Yes!" Matthew agreed, "I'll talk to Gore Verbinski and the casting director when it's over later." ”
Anyway, it's just to say hello, and he doesn't guarantee whether it will be successful or not.
Kelly Knightley then laughed, "I'll treat you to a drink another day." ”
"You don't have to drink so much. Before Matthew agreed, he had already thought about it, "Kayla, it just so happens that I have something to ask you for help with." ”
"You ......" Keira Knightley could only shake her head, "You guy, have you thought about it a long time ago, waiting for me to ask you for help?"
Matthew was innocent, "I didn't know you were asking me for help." Just as Keira Knightley wouldn't be polite to him, he wouldn't be polite to Keira Knightley, saying, "Helen has a client named Eva Green......"
"It's a familiar name. Keira Knightley was sure where she had heard it.
She was the lead actress in Bernardo Bertolucci's "Paris of Theatre". "After Matthew attended the premiere of "Heavenly Dynasty", he specially found this film to watch, and the scene in which Eva Green dressed as Venus with a broken arm was really impressive, "and then came to Hollywood to develop and played the heroine of "Heavenly Dynasty" directed by Ridley Scott. ”
Keira Knightley muttered, "It's all about working with famous directors." ”
Matthew leaned back in his chair and reminded her, "'Kingdom of Heaven' is hitting the streets, she has been affected and can't find a job for the time being, and Helen recommended that she try her out here for the role of a witch." ”
He said very simply, "When you say hello to Gore Verbinski and the casting director, add Eva Green." ”
Keira Knightley replied very happily, "Okay. Then, she asked curiously, "Eva Green can't be your secret lover, right?"
"What do you want. Matthew reached out and nudged her and said, "I have nothing to do with Eva Green, I'm just helping Helen Herman." ”
Keira Knightley believed Matthew's words, and it is not uncommon for star actors to properly help their agents.
The door to the conference room was pushed open again, and people walked in one after another, and most of the main cast and crew members of the crew were acquaintances who had worked together once, such as Jeffrey Rush, who would continue to play Captain Barbossa.
Then producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski also walked in.
The last person to arrive was Johnny Depp, and Captain Sparrow squinted his eyes and looked like he hadn't woken up.
He sat down next to Matthew and greeted Matthew and Keira Knightley with a smile, and the three of them, along with Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Wibinski, formed the highest structure of the crew.
"Did you have a party last night?" Matthew glanced at Depp and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you call me." ”
Johnny Depp seemed to get into Jack Sparrow's state ahead of schedule, pinched his orchid fingers, and said, "I just came from France last night, and I haven't had jet lag yet." ”
Matthew said again, "France is so good, you don't want to come back?"
Johnny Depp seemed to complain, lowered his voice and said, "Isn't there no way." ”
Keira Knightley quipped, "The once prodigal son has finally returned." ”
Everyone knows that Johnny Depp's decision to settle in France was entirely the idea of his French girlfriend Vanessa Paradis.
"I want to be a good father. Johnny Depp seemed to remember something and said, "Matthew, I'm going to make you my daughter's godfather." ”
"Lily Depp?" asked Keira Knightley.
Johnny Depp struggled to open sleepy eyes, "How many daughters do I have?" he continued, "Kayla, you're good as a godmother." ”
Hearing him say so casually, Keira Knightley was a little unsure of what to do.
Matthew then said, "Lily is six years old, right? At this time, I am not a godfather, is it appropriate?"
Johnny Depp, how can people like this care about this, "It's okay, we think it's appropriate, then it's appropriate." ”
Matthew has long known that the current godfather, especially the godfather in the Hollywood circle, is no longer the godfather in the traditional sense, so he immediately responded, "Okay, I'll meet Lily another day." ”
"Hmm. Johnny Depp nodded, "Lily is in France, wait for me to come back next time and bring her over." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Keira Knightley, "What about you?"
Keira Knightley spread her hands, "I'm okay with that. ”
The three of them got together and muttered, the others didn't talk to each other, and they sat at some distances, as early as during the filming of "The Curse of the Black Pearl", the three of them formed a small team in the crew.
Matthew felt that being a godfather should be a novel feeling, and muttered, "I have no experience with children." ”
"Godfathers like you. Keira Knightley sneered, "It's going to teach the kids badly." ”
Matthew was just about to open his mouth to fight back, and found Johnny Depp next to him leaning on the back of the chair and falling asleep, even if Johnny Depp had just bought a private jet, long-distance flights and jet lag were also torture, especially when he was not in good health.
During the last shooting, Matthew compared swords with Depp many times, and he got to know him somewhat, in the words of the past, Depp's body was relatively weak.
At the front of the conference table, Jerry Bruckheimer has already begun to talk about some key matters of this filming, Johnny Depp is still asleep without distractions, and Matthew has no intention of waking him up, as the number one movie star of the crew, the most popular actor of Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp has such a privilege.
In fact, even if he slept with Keira Knightley, no one would come and disturb him.
In the filming of these two sequels, the power of the three protagonists of them can be said to be very large, and it is not impossible to get together to defeat director Gore Verbinsky, but it will not be done for no reason.
Matthew listened for a while, and what Jerry Bruckheimer said was basically the crew's plan, such as going to Dominica to shoot the location scene, respecting the customs and habits of the locals, and so on.
Frankly, these meetings tend to be boring, but they don't last too long, i.e. after forty minutes, the meeting is over.
"Wake up, Depp. ”
Seeing Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski leave the conference room one after another, Matthew patted Johnny Depp, "Go back to sleep." ”
Johnny Depp rubbed his eyes and asked, "It's over?"
Matthew nodded slightly, "It's over." ”
Johnny Depp stood up and said, "Matthew, Kayla, invite you to drink another day, I'll go first, go back and sleep, I'm sleepy." ”
Matthew waved his hand and admonished, "Don't drive yourself." ”
"The driver drove me here today. ”
Leaving this last sentence, Johnny Depp is also gone.
Most of the people in the room left, and Matthew looked at Keira Knightley, "I guess Gore Verbinski hasn't gone to the studio yet, will you go first or will I go first?"
"I'll go first. Keira Knightley looked at her watch, "You'll be there in fifteen minutes." ”
Matthew nodded, and after Keira Knightley left, she waited fifteen minutes and went to Gore Wibinski's office first, and then to audition director Mustafi's office.
As expected, Gore Wibinski did not say anything explicitly, but also mentioned that as long as the audition performance is not bad, it will definitely be prioritized.
Such a greeting would benefit Bill Nye and Eva Green, as well as hurt others.
