The crew was still busy preparing for filming, and Matthew, Gore Wibinski, and the action director got together and got out of the coconut grove and onto a relatively quiet beach.
Gore Verbinski didn't talk nonsense either, and said directly, "Matthew, tell me what you think." ”
With the box office super hit of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", Matthew has undoubtedly stepped into the ranks of the first line, and the first-line stars will have a certain say in the crew, but he is different from weirdos like Johnny Depp, who pays more attention to the way he speaks and does things.
"Is this part of Will Turner's play a little inconsistent with the setting of the character?" Matthew's tone was very tactful, and now that he has encountered a problem, it is ideal to solve it relatively peacefully, "Gore, what do you think?"
This respect for his work partners made Gore Verbinsky not only not disgusted, but very seriously considered.
Matthew knows very well where Will Turner's best position is, and he also knows where his strengths are, and said in a timely manner, "Gore, in the setting of the first part, Will Turner is bold and careful, skillful, and will not panic and be afraid when encountering any danger, if he is caught by a simple trap of the natives like this, the character is ...... in terms of setting."
He plays Will Turner, even if he is placed in the entire trilogy series, except for those supernatural factors, he is definitely a first-class master, and he is easily caught by the natives, which is really detrimental to the image of the character.
Now, the character of Will Turner has been tied to him, and it can be described as a common weal and woe.
Gore Verbinski thought for a few seconds and said, "Well, that makes sense. ”
Matthew's attitude was very good, and he quickly responded, "I was negligent, and we temporarily adjusted this scene." He said to the action director, "Call your group over and we'll redesign the action scene." ”
"Okay. The action director didn't say a word, and hurried to find someone.
Gore Wibinski looked at Matthew with a smile, "You have participated in the filming of many action scenes, and you are the executor of the action, so why don't you be involved in action design for a while." ”
Of course, Matthew will not refuse this kind of invitation, and he has also participated in the action design of the film, especially the type of live play.
Filming was temporarily halted, the team temporarily retreated to the beach, and Matthew, Gore Wibinski, and the action director team kept getting together to discuss, occasionally Matthew would pick up a saber and compare with the action director holding a wooden spear, until it was close to lunchtime, and the design of an action shot of about three minutes or so was basically completed.
After a brief lunch, a number of stuntmen were called over by the action director and accompanied Matthew into the coconut grove to familiarize himself with the environment, plus a proper rehearsal of the designed routine.
After two rehearsals, the crew quickly finished preparing and filming was about to begin.
On set, Matthew took off his shirt to reveal his toned muscles, and the humming of mosquitoes could be faintly heard around him, and Bella Anderson immediately walked over and sprayed him with some special insect repellent.
"Wait. ”
Bella Anderson was just about to leave when Matthew stopped her and said, "Give me the wind oil." ”
Seeing that Bella Anderson was a little stunned, he reminded, "The little glass bottle, the green one." ”
Bella Anderson opened the kit, found the wind oil essence, and handed it over.
Matthew took it, unscrewed some and poured it on his hand, then applied it to her bare upper body, and asked Bella Anderson to come over and apply it to her back.
This time he was going to Dominica to shoot, and he specially purchased a batch of wind oil essence, mosquitoes in the tropics, sometimes quite terrifying.
At this time, the action director came over again and said, "The people who shot during the shooting were our stuntmen, and those Dominican natives would only watch. ”
Matthew nodded, took the saber that Bella Anderson handed over, and put it on his belt.
The action scenes during filming have certain skills, and at least they have to undergo a short period of training, and if they let those natives go directly, the crew will not be at ease.
When the stuntmen came to the set and hid behind the grass, filming began.
Matthew parted the grass and entered the coconut grove, as if he heard something, drew the saber at his waist, and walked vigilantly all the way to the depths of the woods, and after walking a short distance, he found a wine jug hanging from the tree in front of him, and carefully moved it, and picked up the jug with his sword.
"Gibson's flask?" Matthew muttered to himself.
Then, following the strap that bound the flask, he walked forward step by step to a large tree.
Suddenly, there was a strange cry from beside the tree, and Matthew immediately took a step back, and a rope circle quickly rose in front of him, and Matthew then turned his head to look at the tree, where the stuntman dressed as an indigenous man had already rushed towards him with a spear.
Matthew swung his sword apart his spear and knocked him to the ground with a single punch in his left hand, but more natives emerged from the grass in all directions, stabbing at the nearest few with spears in their arms.
In fact, except for the natives played by a few stuntmen in the innermost circle, those on the periphery are far away and slowly approaching, and there is no chance to make a move.
Following the pre-set routine, Matthew quickly knocked several stuntmen to the ground, and just as he tried to escape, the stuntman hiding near the camera lens stood up and pointed his blow arrow at his side.
Matthew clutched his neck, turned to look at the camera, and then his sword landed and fell to the grass.
Immediately several natives came over, lifted him and left, and some natives picked up his sword.
This action scene passed smoothly, although the ending of Will Turner being captured by the natives has not changed, but the process has changed, no longer the very simple and stupid fool in the previous design, but was attacked by someone with a blow arrow during the fight.
This is the end of today's shooting, Matthew took the blanket sent by Bella Anderson and draped it over his body, went straight back to the trailer near the jetty to remove his makeup, and planned to return to the hotel first.
The entire beach is densely packed with people working for the crew.
The number of people who came to Dominica was terrifying, with 600 crew members coming from North America alone, and more than 400 people hired locally.
In a normal shoot, the catering department prepares three meals a day for 700 to 900 people, and for breakfast alone, it takes close to 2,000 eggs, 100 to 160 pounds of bacon, 80 loaves of bread, 50 pounds of sausages, more than 10 boxes of fruit, and so on.
And for food safety, all food is shipped from the United States, except for fruits and fresh vegetables, which are made in Dominica.
Of course, as one of the three giants of the crew, Matthew enjoys special treatment, and room and board are not among them.
Most of the crew lived in more than 80 hotels in Dominica, with only he, Keira Knightley, Johnny Depp and Gore Wibingski, as well as a few other important cast members, living in one of the top hotels in Santo Domingo.
As soon as Matthew returned to the hotel, he received a call from Johnny Depp, who was drinking with Keira Knightley today and was drinking on the beach of the hotel near the sea, beckoning him to come along.
Of course, Matthew would not refuse this kind of invitation, so he simply took a shower, changed into a relaxed and casual outfit, took the elevator downstairs, and soon arrived at the beach.
Since this is the top hotel in Santo Domingo, the capital of Dominica, there are not many guests staying in the hotel, and there are not many people on the beach of the hotel, Matthew just walked out of the side door of the hotel and saw Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley sitting under a sun umbrella.
The two didn't know what they were talking about, they were laughing while drinking, and they seemed to be in a very good mood.
Keira Knightley also saw Matthew and immediately raised her hand to greet, "Over here, Matthew!"
Matthew walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down next to Keira Knightley, and Johnny Depp took the glass and poured him a glass of champagne.
"Isn't it going to be done at noon?" asked Keira Knightley curiously, "Why did it drag on until now?"
Matthew picked up the champagne, took a sip, and said, "Changed the scene temporarily." ”
Johnny Depp put the champagne back in the ice bucket and said, "I've made an appointment with Kayla to go out on the street together in the evening, will you come along?"
"Of course!" Matthew replied with a nod, "I'd like to see the enthusiasm of the Latin American girls." ”
Keira Knightley scoffed, "What else can you think of but a woman?"
Matthew hurriedly said, "Ah, I'm sorry!" he said to Keira Knightley with a smile, "In front of the noble and beautiful Kayla, those Latin girls are a bunch of ugly bastards. ”
Johnny Depp looked at Matthew and then at Keira Knightley, and asked in a strange voice, "Do you need me to make room for you?"
"Matthew is a ...... kind of person," Keira Knightley said instead of Johnny Depp, "just broke off her engagement and was full of other women." ”
She leaned in and asked, "Are you really dominated by your lower body?"
Matthew leaned into Keira Knightley's ear and whispered, "Don't you know?"
Keira Knightley glared at Matthew, picked up the champagne in front of her, and drank it all in one gulp, as if the champagne was Matthew himself.
Johnny Depp couldn't help but shake his head, "You two really don't exist anymore?"
Although he has some regrets about Matthew breaking off his marriage with Charlize Theron, he has never said anything, he is one of Hollywood's big-name stars, and he knows that it is normal for this circle to be divided and merged.
Matthew picked up the bottle and poured another glass for Keira Knightley, then picked it up, gestured to the two of them, and said, "Cheers to freedom." ”
Charlize Theron's departure without regrets did make him regret, but without the constraints of the marriage contract, he felt that the previous freedom was easy again.
