Burbank, a satellite town in Los Angeles, is home to many of the world's leading media companies, including Walt Disney, Warner Bros., NBC, Viacom, and PBS, and has also proclaimed itself the "Media Capital of the World."

In addition to media companies, Burbank has a series of studios and studios that are closely linked to media companies, and Disney Studios is one of them.

Under the summer sun in June, a black Mercedes-Benz sedan turned into Nanbo Great Street and soon stopped in the parking lot in front of the Disney studio.

It was still early for the audition, and Matthew and Helen Herman in the car didn't get out of the car right away.

"This crew is really peculiar. Matthew said to Helen Herman again, "The crew has decided on a leading actor, and the auditions for the other two leading roles have also reached the final round, but even the director has not yet been decided." ”

Helen Herman looked at Matthew and said, "It's not that it's not undecided, it's a month before the start of filming." ”

Matthew couldn't deny it, "You're right, director Gore Verbinski was only in charge of filming. ”

Half a month has passed since Walt Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer Film Production announced the establishment of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and the crew that has already built the framework has worked amazingly fast and quickly determined the remaining important positions.

While director Gore Wibinski was still considering whether to take on the direction of the project, Jerry Bruckheimer and his cast director went through two auditions, deciding that Hollywood eccentric Johnny Depp would play Captain Jack Sparrow, one of the two male leads, and also made their first auditions for the other two roles of Elizabeth Swan, the daughter of the Governor and Will Turner, the little blacksmith.

Without any suspense, Matthew passed the initial audition very smoothly, otherwise he would not have come to the makeup audition today.

In the past half a month, news has been released from the crew, and after Johnny Depp signed with the crew, Gore Verbinski also decided to sign a directing agreement with the crew.

However, Gore Verbinski's new film "Midnight Bell" has not yet been filmed, and it is impossible to participate in "Pirates of the Caribbean" for the time being, according to the information obtained by Matthew, he will not report to the crew until after filming "Midnight Bell".

In other words, Gore Wibinski, the director, will not participate in the audition of any actors.

Matthew has been following Pirates of the Caribbean and is used to it.

This project is not a script or ready-made characters, but comes from Jerry Bruckheimer's inspiration as a producer and producer, it is rumored that he saw the Caribbean-themed amusement projects in Disneyland and wanted to use this as a source of inspiration to make a movie, so he convened the screenwriter in the form of a proposition essay to start creating, and after the script was born under his inspiration, he first determined the crazy temperament of the male protagonist and Johnny Depp as the leading actor, and then chose director Gore Verbinski to direct.

Except for a few assistant directors in the entire crew, the other positions were selected by Jerry Bruckheimer, who basically has nothing to do with Gore Verbinsky, and the cast director in charge of casting is the old man Jerry Bruckheimer is used to working with.

The initiation point of the project is Jerry Bruckheimer, and the central point is Jerry Bruckheimer.

Therefore, Matthew and Helen Herman did not work on him in advance, even though they had long known that Gore Wibinski was very likely to become the director of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Helen Herman's focus is still on the cast directors of Disney Studios and the crew.

As for Jerry Bruckheimer, Helen Herrmann only touched on it slightly, this long-faced producer is different from others, has a great reputation in Hollywood, an absolute gold medal producer, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" will have a considerable investment from his Jerry Bruckheimer film production company, and if the actor is not suitable for the role, he will definitely not tell the so-called human favor.

If you want to impress Jerry Bruckheimer, the most important thing is the audition.

A problem with a major character is very likely to cause the film to fail, and perhaps such an investment will not break Disney's bones, but it will definitely bankrupt Jerry Bruckheimer Film Productions.

In the crew, I am afraid that no one wants to choose the main actor suitable for the role more than Jerry Bruckheimer.

In this way, the impact of off-the-plate tricks on the audition will be much smaller.

Matthew still has some confidence in himself, even if he doesn't have confidence, he must make himself confident, once he is not confident, he is likely to show timidity in the audition.

Moreover, he has used off-screen tricks to remove his biggest rival Orlando Bloom from the "Van Helsing" crew.

Because of his role as the actor in "Van Helsing", Orlando Bloom did not participate in the first audition for "Pirates of the Caribbean" for the little blacksmith Will Turner.

Of course, this also has the potential for others to become beneficiaries.

Matthew entered the Disney studio with Helen Herman with his bag, and the second studio was not far from the studio gate, and they walked straight over, and on the way, they could see the huge studio in front of them people coming in and out, and all kinds of materials were being transported in, but the audition was not in the second studio, but in the smaller third studio diagonally opposite.

The two came to Studio No. 3, and immediately the crew led Matthew to the dressing room, which was an audition for one of the leading actors, and the treatment was completely different from ordinary role auditions.

Arriving at the door of the men's dressing room, Ma corrected to see an actress dressed in an English lady's costume coming out of another dressing room next to it, as if she was an actress auditioning for the heroine Elizabeth Swan.

He took a special look and found that it was not the flat-chested English rose in his impression.

There are no hard and fast rules on the crew, plus Matthew doesn't mind, Helen Herman accompanied him into the dressing room, probably seeing that Matthew had just paid attention to the actress, she whispered, "That's Kristen Bell, one of the actresses who was finally selected to audition with makeup, and this morning it was mainly you and her audition." ”

Matthew nodded lightly and didn't say much, he had a general understanding of the crew, and compared to Will Turner, there were more actors selected for Elizabeth Swan's makeup audition, and the competition was more fierce, including Keira Knightley.

As for his three main competitors in Will Turner's audition with makeup, British star Jude Law, Spider-Man Tobey Maguire and Christopher Masterson, who is not as famous as him.

Originally, the crew also invited Ewan McGregor to participate in the makeup audition, but Ewan McGregor wanted to prepare for "Star Wars Prequel: Revenge of the Sith" and politely declined the invitation of the crew.

Sitting in front of the make-up mirror and putting on makeup, Matthew is also thinking about the situation of the other three actors, whose auditions will take place in the next few days.

Helen Herman has carefully researched and analyzed the three competitors, and believes that Jude Law and Tobey Maguire, although famous, have a very small chance of getting a role, and Jude Law is said to be preparing for the Weinstein brothers' film "Cold Mountain", and is very likely to withdraw from the audition like Ewan McGregor.

As for Tobey Maguire, unless Jerry Bruckheimer is crazy, Spider-Man will appear in a pirate movie.

According to Helen Herman, Jerry Bruckheimer's letting Tobey Maguire participate in a makeup audition should not be able to erase some people's faces, but this kind of face is impossible for him to risk his reputation as a gold medal producer and the future of the film company.

So, the real threat is Christopher Masterson, who is the same age as him and barely has any fame.

This person didn't have any fame before, what Helen Herman could find out was Christopher Masterson's participation in last year's "Screaming", which only played a small supporting role with little weight, and Christopher Masterson is also from a very small entertainment agency, and the strength is not even comparable to Helen Herman's angel agency.

It is precisely because of this that he is alert that a young actor who has no fame, no appeal, and basically no network can enter the second audition, and the biggest possibility is that Jerry Brook Hemmer may be suitable for the role of Will Turner!

Will Turner's final cast selection depends on Jerry Bruckheimer's wishes.

The make-up artist finished Matthew's hair, combing his long, almost black dark brown hair back neatly and fashioning it into a typical 17th-century British hairstyle.

This is the end of Matthew's make-up above his head, and then he goes to the dressing room to change his clothes, and with the assistance of an assistant, puts on a very well-fitting costume, then mounts his boots, buttons up his cuffs, and stands in front of a mirror that is more than a man tall.

His appearance is completely different from the type of little blacksmith in his impression, but his temperament is completely different, and the whole person looks stronger, but with a little British gentleman's style.

"Not bad...... Helen Herman leaned over, looked Matthew up and down carefully through the makeup mirror, and admonished, "This time with makeup time, the crew asks to choose a piece of free play from the character script and come up with what you are best at!"

After the initial audition, Matthew got the script for Will Turner's role, which he has studied many times recently and is fully prepared.

"Rest assured. Matthew seemed confident.

Since this audition was free to play, the crew asked him to come once last week and communicated about the costumes and props needed for the audition.

He left the mirror and came to the doorway, where Helen Herman opened the long backpack he had placed there, took out the saber that Matthew had used in fencing, and handed it to Matthew.
