Chapter 206: No Call (Ask for Subscription)
Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
In order to achieve the effect of the dirty characters on camera, the extras who were about to shoot on the set during the three days of Matthew's filming were all sent outside the studio by Gore Verbinski to go around the huge sandstone open-air set of Disney Studios, and it had to be under the sun.
It's only late August, and the sun in Los Angeles is still blazing.
In fact, the source of all this is that Gore Wibinski is not satisfied with the costumes prepared by the costume team, although the costumes have been worn-out, but when they were test-shot, there was no dirty texture at all.
Gore Verbinski's requirements for extras are very clear, that is, on a hot day, the assigned costumes are worn under the sun on the open-air set for three days, and no one is allowed to take off or wash them, and all actors are not allowed to take a shower during these three days.
Of course, the crew also paid these extras three times the salary.
The effect is obvious, after three days of sunbathing in the dusty sun from time to time, the costume is definitely soaked with sweat and dust, the body is also a mess, and the hair is sticky together, and the smelly and dirty medieval civilian style is perfectly restored.
Not only the extras, except for the actors who played the British lords, including Matthew, the costumes were not brand new, all of them were distressed, and the stains on the costumes and the traces of use were obvious, which made people subconsciously feel that they were real things, not temporary costumes.
Matthew actually knows very well that this is the effect that the film wants, like this typical first-line costume production, and it is not a typical Disney fairy tale genre, even if it is fantastical, whether it is the director, producer, or production company, it will strive to fit the background of that era.
In the era of rampant pirates in the Caribbean, unless the nobility was aristocrats, it was difficult to bathe every day, take a bath every day, shave and blow their hair, was that still a pirate? Who could expect a group of pirate outlaws to laugh with eight teeth, shining white?
It's not just about clothes, it's about styling.
Don't talk about others, just talk about himself, makeup is not to cover the flaws on the face, let alone smooth and white skin, but to highlight the rough and hard lines, showing the most masculine and wild beauty that men should have.
The reason why Hollywood movies do this is actually consistent with the aesthetics of society as a whole, and when he practiced reading, he read a very famous book on film styling, saying that until now, the aesthetic of Westerners is still the worship of wild and primitive charm in the atmosphere of the industrial age.
In other words, the mainstream of society still likes the wild beauty of those muscles.
In fact, it can also be seen from the situation of Hollywood first-line stars, whether male or female, rough types occupy the vast majority, and there are very few exquisite and beautiful ones.
The Walt Disney Group is willing to invest heavily in such a film, and it must be optimistic about the prospects of the film, and the resources of Disney studios are also given priority to the crew.
In addition to the huge No. 2 studio, which was used to build a cave and a dilapidated medieval town, the No. 3 studio served as the crew's office and training space, and the adjacent No. 4 studio also belonged to the crew.
The interior of the Doge's Palace is mainly built here.
A week after filming began, the crew moved from Studio 2 to Studio 4, first filming the scene where the pirates had not yet breached the Doge's Palace.
Matthew and Keira Knightley also appear in the same scene for the first time.
On the set, the scene where Will Turner delivers a sword to the Governor has just finished filming, and the crew immediately began filming the next one.
Keira Knightley, dressed as an English lady, stood on top of a temporary wooden staircase, and as soon as the director shouted, she immediately walked down the staircase.
The sound of doobling footsteps sounded, and Matthew looked up to look that way, and the governor opposite him also looked over there, and said, "Elizabeth, you look so beautiful." ”
"Will!" Keira Knightley's eyes were only in the eyes of Matthew, "It's great to see you." ”
She quickened her pace and walked down the stairs.
Matthew looked straight at Keira Knightley as if this was his goddess, the lover of his dreams.
Keira Knightley didn't see the Doge's father, and went straight to Matthew and said eagerly, "I dreamed of you last night. ”
"Me?" Matthew's British accent sounded no less than that of Keira Knightley.
"Do you think that's appropriate?" said the Governor.
Keira Knightley didn't care, and said to Matthew, "Do you remember the day we met?"
"How could I forget!" Matthew's eyes only looked at Keira Knightley, "I can't possibly forget, Miss Swan." ”
Keira Knightley looked back at Matthew, "How many times have I told you to call me Elizabeth." ”
The two looked at each other affectionately, as if they only had each other in their eyes.
This was the end of the scene, and Gore Verbinski shook his head and shouted, "Stop!
The various filming departments quickly reset, and filming quickly resumed, this time before the filming was over, only halfway through, Gore Verbinski called out to stop the shooting.
He came to the set and said, "Matthew, Kayla, feelings! I need you to be emotionally involved!"
Matthew glanced at Keira Knightley, who happened to be looking at him as well, and the two looked at each other, and at the same time at director Gore Wibinski.
"That's how it feels!" Gore Verbinski was clearly aware of the small movements of the two, "that feeling of tacit understanding!"
He thought he had made it clear, left the set, and said loudly, "One more time!"
But as soon as filming began, Keira Knightley came down the stairs, and he shouted to stop, and then filmed, and then again, and after three repetitions, the crew stopped working for the time being.
Gore Verbinski walked into the set, put down his gold-rimmed glasses, and this time with patience, said, "Matthew, Will Turner is an admirer of Elizabeth!"
He then went on to say to Keira Knightley, "Elizabeth likes Will Turner too, both of them have feelings and know this, they're a pair of crushes who know each other and don't confess, do you have that effect?"
Matthew was silent, and Keira Knightley bit her lip and didn't speak.
"You need to be emotionally invested, you need to grasp the emotions of the characters!" Gore Verbinski saw the shot, and only had one feeling, these two people looked at each other as if they were looking at a log standing on that set, he pointed at Matthew, and then at Keira Knightley, "You love her, and she loves you, it's as simple as that!
He finally said, "Matthew, Kayla, you talk now, and I'll give you ten minutes. ”
Hearing what Gore Verbinski said, the actor who played the role of the governor's father immediately followed him out of here.
"Have you ever acted in a couple play before?" Matthew asked Keira Knightley.
"Acted. Keira Knightley asked rhetorically, "What about you?"
"I've acted, too. Matthew whispered, "I'll stand with the heroine, with a more intimate expression and a little more intimate action, and it's OK." ”
He shrugged, "I haven't acted like this subtlely, or silently, like this." ”
Kelly Knightley pouted, and the appearance of the ground covering the sky became more obvious, "I did, the problem is that I don't call you." She is already very familiar with Matthew, plus she is young, and she is not polite to speak, "You are too muscular, the lines are too rough, the whole person looks too wild, too rough and not delicate enough, and it is a little difficult to call you." ”
"Hey, Kayla, are you mistaken. Matthew came here, thinking that the most outstanding thing was this skin, and now he was disliked by others, a little dissatisfied, and responded, "Actually, I don't call you either." ”
Keira Knightley snorted, "Excuses. She thinks that her appearance is still very good, "You have good action scenes and poor performances, do you think I can't see it?"
The voices of the two people talking are very low, and there is no one else on the set, so there is no need to worry about others hearing it, and the people on the periphery will only think that they are exchanging roles and performing things.
Matthew waved his hand, "Kayla, you're so narcissistic, my eyes are full of your flaws, that's why I don't call." ”
"Flaws?" said Keira Knightley, stepping forward, "what flaws? can there be more flaws than yours?"
"Of course. Matthew learned her English accent and said, "I don't like square faces." ”
Keira Knightley subconsciously wanted to touch her face, taking care of her makeup, and put it down again, she knew that she had a square face, otherwise she would not have been selected to be a stand-in in "Star Wars Prequel".
The square face was the truth, so she put up with it.
"And?" she asked.
"Forget it...... Matthew waved his hand, "Let's not talk about that, let's study this scene, it's the right thing." ”
The things that the two just discussed have long been crooked.
Keira Knightley also knew this, saying, "Your acting skills are too average. ”
It was a bit harsh, but Matthew knew it was true, and he didn't want to deal with a girl who wasn't even eighteen years old.
"I'll teach you the easiest way to do it...... "Keira Knightley, interested in teaching an actor older than herself, "you're probably in a relationship, right? ”
Matthew listened and thought seriously about the feasibility.
He is a wild man, although Keira Knightley's parents are working hard in the British entertainment industry, but she has not experienced professional study, she can also be regarded as a wild man.
Seeing that Matthew was unresponsive, Keira Knightley asked, "You can't have never been in love, have you?"
"Talked. Matthew replied, "You can try." ”
"Well, that's good. Keira Knightley took a step back, "If you can call me, I'll call you!"
Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and after the filming began, Matthew tried to substitute his feelings and regarded Keira Knightley as the object of admiration, Keira Knightley was born as a child star, although her acting skills were mediocre, she also had some strength, and the feeling for Matthew was different from those scenes of NG.
This scene was filmed two more times, and it was finally announced.
