"Stand back! stand back ......"

On the beautiful pristine island, Matthew grabbed Johnny Depp with one hand and Keira Knightley with the other hand, and quietly retreated into the crowd of the crew.

Right in front of them, dozens of local natives served as extras, holding props and spears, blocked in front, speaking incomprehensible local dialect one by one, looking extremely excited.

The crew's translators and intermediaries hired in Dominica are urgently negotiating with them, and the situation does not look good.

Matthew ignored the crew and pulled Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp to continue to retreat, while looking back to see if there was a way out of the back, and if something happened, he could escape.

This is not a shooting, he is not Will Turner, those indigenous strong men opposite, he estimates that the problem is not too big, and if there are more, he will only be beaten by the group.

That's right, the crew had a temporary emergency, and just when filming the scene where Captain Jack Sparrow was about to be eaten by a cannibal barbecue, the indigenous actors hired from the local area suddenly went on strike and surrounded the filming location en masse.

Matthew quickly figured out the situation from a local English-speaking guide, and the scene just filmed was Johnny Depp's Captain Jack who was accidentally captured by a cannibal tribe and placed around a campfire surrounded by vegetables and fruits, and Captain Jack almost became a feast for the tribesmen.

It was such a scene that caused the anger of a tribal leader, who thought that the crew had misinterpreted their ancestors and mistaken them for cannibals, so they came to ask for an explanation.

When encountering this kind of thing, of course, it is the person in charge of the crew and a tall top, a person like Matthew will never come out stupidly, and the first thing that comes to mind is how to escape safely if something happens.

Of course, he didn't forget his two friends on the crew, pulling Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp, who still wanted to watch the hilarity, to the back of the crew.

"It's not going to be a fight, is it?" Johnny Depp said heartlessly, looking at the dozens of natives not far away, "It seems that there are a lot of us." ”

"I hope not. "Don't forget, this is on indigenous territory, and they may have gone to the tribe to call for people." ”

Keira Knightley grabbed Matthew's arm tightly with one hand, "What are we going to do?"

Matthew glanced back, they had retreated to the edge of this hill, behind it was a slope of about forty-five degrees, through the low vegetation on the slope, you could see the crew's vehicles, with his skills, it was not difficult to go down.

"In case the natives get their hands dirty. Matthew pointed to the slope and whispered, "Let's go down from here." ”

Keira Knightley also glanced back and asked, "Could there be snakes?"

"Ah...... Johnny Depp came up and said, "In general, there must be snakes in such a place." ”

Keira Knightley subconsciously moved closer to Matthew, as if she was afraid of a snake coming.

Matthew didn't bother to heed Johnny Depp's crazy words, reminding him and Keira Knightley, "It's not right in a moment, you must follow me!"

He had been observing the movement ahead, the situation was obviously not good, the natives of those tribes seemed to be getting more and more excited, director Gord Verbinski and a producer had already put the security personnel of the crew in front, but no one expected such an accident, there were only seven or eight security personnel who came here, and they had come to drive away snakes and other animals that might exist.

There are quite a few people in the crew here, there are fifty or sixty, but if something really happens, except for a few stuntmen from the action direction team, others are estimated to be unable to stop those indigenous strong men.

"Dig out the dollars!" Johnny Depp finally got a little right, "Hurry up and pay for it!"

Keira Knightley stood on tiptoe, looked through the cracks, and asked curiously, "Didn't the crew communicate with these Indigenous actors beforehand?" ”

It's clear, Matthew said, "It looks like there's no communication at all." ”

Johnny Depp suddenly said, "It's just a movie, and it's not really asking them to be cannibals, do you still need to communicate about this kind of small problem? The crew paid for filming here, and what is our freedom to shoot." ”

Hearing Johnny Depp, who has always been weird, say such things, Matthew sighed softly.

Keira Knightley nodded, and then Depp's words said, "They take this too seriously and interfere with the crew." ”

It's clear that both of them believe that the indigenous actors are making trouble, and even that whatever is filmed in Hollywood is Hollywood's freedom.

Matthew is not surprised, 99% of the people in the circle are probably similar ideas, even a famous eccentric like Johnny Depp.

The so-called liberalism cannot be described as overflowing in Hollywood at all.

A middle-aged man with eyes and a big split head suddenly retreats from the crowd and finds Matthew, Depp, and Keira Knightley.

Matthew and they also saw him, and the person who withdrew was none other than director Gore Wibinski.

Both sides nodded slightly tacitly, and they were ready to throw away the crew and start running at any time.

Fortunately, things did not develop irreversibly, and a local staff member hired by the crew, after nearly half an hour of conversation and persuasion, finally calmed down the emotions of the natives, and then the police of the local government also arrived, although they did not disperse the aboriginal actors, but also lined up a wall of separation between the aborigines and the crew.

"It's okay. Keira Knightley breathed a sigh of relief.

Matthew nodded slightly, "Someone from the Dominican government is here, and the situation shouldn't get worse anymore." ”

The crew spent more than $100 million in Dominica and employed more than 400 locals, an investment that is huge for a Dominican government with an unemployment rate of more than 70 percent.

And once the movie is released, it will also be a promotion and promotion for the tourism industry in Dominica.

The turmoil was quickly resolved, and the crew knew how to be flexible, and under the coordination of the local, they provided 100 cases of Coca-Cola to each of the local indigenous tribes......

Then, the natives retreated happily, making one wonder if their motives were to blackmail the crew.

Of course, the crew's shooting plan remains the same, and in the footage, the natives will still be depicted as cannibal tribes.

However, in order to prevent another accident, Gore Wibinski temporarily asked the crew to withdraw to Santo Domingo, and wait until they returned to the United States to find another location to shoot the rest of the footage.

From beginning to end, the crew did not consider whether it was because of the feelings of the locals, and changed the relevant content of the shooting.

On the car back, Matthew also talked to Depp about this topic, and Johnny Depp meant very clearly, what Hollywood shoots, that is Hollywood's absolute freedom.

Matthew also knows that Hollywood is a concentration of white leftists, liberalism is rampant, and the so-called freedom of filming is emphasized.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of liberalism, the problem is that some people go to shoot something like assassinating the leader of another country in the name of photographing freedom......

This kind of problem is not something that Matthew can interfere with and solve, a Hollywood star like him can only adapt to this circle, but cannot change it.

Helen Herman, Johnny Depp and others, who he has close contact, all believe that freedom is man's birthright, as if man wants to breathe, without any proof at all, and he doesn't feel anything abnormal when he sees someone repeatedly mentioning it over and over again.

"I hope that the United States will one day be disintegrated by the overflowing liberalism......"

Matthew had such an idea because he had lived in Los Angeles and had heard many voices wanting California to become independent.

Of course, politics is very complicated, and Hollywood is simply the difference between high school and college.

Back at the hotel where I stayed, Matthew, Keira Knightley, Johnny Depp and Gore Wibinski had dinner together, and from Gore Wibinski's words, you can also hear the crew's handling of this matter.

Since Jerry Bruckheimer didn't come to Dominica at all, Gore Wibinski, the nominal producer, is undoubtedly the most powerful person in the crew right now, and he made it clear that he could give small gifts such as Coca-Cola to the local tribes, but the script could never be changed.

That is the so-called confession of mistakes, resolutely not change!

Matthew is not a little surprised, many people in Hollywood are still very stubborn at times.

Anyway, those natives happily led Coca-Cola away, and the crew would not fire them, and the relevant scenes were changed to return to North America for filming, and this turmoil was over.

"I'm tired. ”

Johnny Depp stood up and stretched, and took the lead in saying goodbye, "I'll go back to my room and sleep." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the others to respond, stood up and left the restaurant on his own.

Matthew and others knew Johnny Depp's temperament and didn't care, he and Keira Knightley chatted with Gore Wibinski for more than half an hour, and when they saw someone coming to discuss things with Gore Wibingski, they also took the initiative to say goodbye and walked out of the restaurant.

Taking the elevator to the check-in floor, Matthew tentatively asked Keira Knightley, "Are you going to my place tonight?"

In the past few days, the two have been messing around together almost every night, and Keira Knightley didn't speak, but directly reached out and grabbed Matthew's arm, and the meaning was already clear.

Matthew took Keira Knightley out of the elevator room, and just turned into the hallway, when he suddenly noticed a figure flashing in front of Johnny Depp's door, as if entering Depp's room.

At the same time, the two also heard the call of a parrot.
