The second stage of the Disney Studios has long since changed its appearance, and the place near the left of the gate has become a 17th-century seaside town, with the interior and exterior of various buildings, and the more spacious space on the right, which is laid out as the island cave of the Great War at the end of the script.
In the interior of an old semi-enclosed blacksmith shop on the left side of the studio, Gore Verbinski stands in front of a somewhat tattered door and calls Matthew and Johnny Depp to the ready.
Johnny De wears heavy smoky makeup, even if it's not shooting, he walks with a twist, and the femininity and charm are simply leaked from the bones.
Matthew only wore a thin layer of base makeup to highlight the texture of the facial line, and the long dark brown hair was specially grown, permed into a large curl and scattered behind his head, and the extremely fitting costume outlined the body line, emphasizing the strong and wild beauty.
As early as mid-July, the crew informed him that they would make appropriate adjustments to Will Turner's styling, scenes and action design, so that the character would be more in line with his personal temperament, more like a blacksmith who struck iron and practiced swords!
There may be a sissy type blacksmith in this world, but in the perception of most people, blacksmiths are rough, bold and powerful.
All the looks formulated by the crew for Matthew, the kind of male sexiness highlighted, is by no means reflected by a white, clean, slender and handsome guy.
"Matthew, this drama starts when you come in!" said Gor-Verbinski, who was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, standing by the slightly worn wooden door, pointing to the basin near the doorway, "It's the hot season, you wear a thick formal suit, take off your clothes, wash your face and wipe your sweat." Remember, your gentlemanly side is only for Elizabeth Swan. ”
"Hmm. Matthew answered.
Gore Wibinski continued, "You wash your face and scrub your upper body, be sure to get the water on the muscles in your chest!"
Matthew understands that the muscles that shoot out of the wet upper body are sometimes better.
"When you were washing, you found an anomaly, go over and check ......" Gore Verbinski turned to look at Johnny Depp,
"When Matthew approaches, you come out of your hiding place, point a knife at him, and you start the action scene. ”
Johnny Depp didn't say anything.
Gore Verbinski glanced at him, confirmed that he heard his words, and left the place, returning to the director's monitor.
Shooting begins.
Keira Knightley, who had already filmed some scenes before, did not leave after the filming for the time being, and stood behind the camera with her assistant to watch the shooting.
On the set, Matthew pushed open the wooden door and walked in, took off the gentleman's disguise outside, took off the tightly covered formal clothes, hung them on the shelf next to the door, came to the basin, picked up the water to wash his face, dragged a towel, soaked it in the basin, wrung it, and wiped the sweat on his body.
On the camera's side, the cameraman manipulates the camera to take his exposed body itself as the focal point, shooting a full-length close-up, and the droplets of water dripping from the towel roll down Matthew's body, completely showing the wildness of his muscles.
Matthew seemed to notice that something was wrong, and looked inside the blacksmith shop, some of the furnishings had obviously been moved, the donkey had moved, the hammer had also moved, and the old blacksmith was still drunk and asleep, so he immediately looked everywhere, he first looked at the donkey, and then came to the anvil to watch the hammer, and suddenly the figure flickered, and Johnny Depp flashed out from behind a wooden pillar, and the pirate scimitar in his hand was aimed at Matthew's naked chest......
The cameraman immediately adjusts the shot, and the camera shifts back and forth between the sword in Johnny Depp's hand and Matthew's muscular chest.
Johnny Depp stepped forward, Matthew slowly stepped back, and the two appeared in the same frame for the first time.
"The pirate captain is feminine and writhing, and the blacksmith is musculine!" Gore Verbinski stared at the live screen on the monitor, "This contrast is too strong!
"Pirates!" Matthew looked at Johnny Depp, a loud and rugged British accent.
"I think you're familiar. Johnny Depp is the polar opposite of Matthew, a sissy, "Have I threatened you before?"
Matthew's face hardened, "No! I just don't want to be associated with pirates!"
Without waiting for Johnny Depp to speak, he suddenly took a step to the right, very fast and extremely agile, and then reached out and grabbed a saber hanging from the pillar and pointed it at Johnny Depp.
"Are you sensible to do this?" Johnny Depp seemed to react now, "to actually want to fight a pirate." ”
Matthew didn't hesitate on his face, "You once wanted to hurt Miss Swan!"
"Just a little. ”
After Johnny Depp finished speaking, a knife stabbed over, Matthew followed the designed routine, the sword went down, and then went up, he was skilled in swordsmanship, agile, and came first, Johnny Depp's knife just stabbed out, and was picked by his sword, and Johnny Depp's pirate scimitar flew out of his hand.
"Stop!" Gore Wibinski shouted to stop shooting.
Johnny Depp helplessly stretched his hands to Matthew and made a mournful grimace.
Matthew also spread his hands helplessly, "I only used fifty percent of my strength." He leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Say, Depp, what did you do last night?" ”
"It's nothing. Johnny Depp's words are hard to distinguish between true and false, "It's just a night with five or six beautiful women." ”
"Cut!" Matthew didn't believe at all.
Gore Verbinski's words came again, "Action scenes reshooted, other OK." ”
Johnny Depp raised his hand and said, "I'm asking for a stand-in." He looked at Matthew, "It's terrible to fight a sword with this guy, he's the devil." ”
After saying that, he grimaced at Matthew again, shook his hands and walked out of the set.
Johnny Depp's stunt double, who has long been put on makeup, has been waiting outside the set, and can be on the stage at any time, and unlike Matthew, who only has a thin layer of base makeup, Johnny Depp's pirate makeup is very thick, and the stunt double who also wears heavy makeup looks ninety percent similar to Johnny Depp.
If it is a static literary drama, it can definitely be easily distinguished, but the action scene that rarely shows the front when it moves can be completely fake.
In fact, not only Matthew, but most of the crew knows that Johnny Depp has long been hollowed out by the absurd life of recent years, and has prepared a stunt double early on, except for some necessary circumstances, action scenes will generally let the stand-in be filmed.
changed to a more professional stand-in, and the shooting of action scenes, Matthew can also be more relaxed, otherwise he really doesn't have any strength at all, his movements must be soft in the camera frame, what kind of fight is that?
As before, Matthew prefers action scenes to literary dramas, although the literary drama just now looks very relaxed, but in that literary drama, he doesn't need much performance, in fact, it is mainly to show his figure, temperament and muscles.
In the action scenes, Matthew filmed very seriously, and he will definitely be suppressed by Johnny Depp in terms of performance, which is inevitable, so if you want the character to shine, you have to shine in the opposite direction of Captain Jack Sparrow.
Johnny Depp crushed him with his acting skills, and he tried to suppress Johnny Depp with his sculptural figure and agile and gorgeous skills.
After Gore Wipinski joined the crew, he talked to the main actors individually, and Matthew also shared with him some of his thoughts on the role, and Gore Wibinski also agreed.
The two roles complement each other and complement each other in different aspects, which is also the result that he, as a director, is happy to see.
The shooting of the action scenes of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is completely different from "The Scorpion King", there are no long shots, they are all fragmented shooting, and then rely on post-editing and splicing together, and the longest action shot will not exceed five seconds.
Matthew was shirtless, playing with Johnny Depp's stand-in, and in one morning, he shot a full twenty action shots.
In between shoots, Matthew went to the rest area, and Mira Wang, who was working as an assistant, immediately draped the blanket over his bare back and handed over a cup with a straw.
Matthew took two sips of water, and the makeup artist who was specially designed for him to make up came over to touch up his makeup, and after a short break of ten minutes, filming began again, and the sound of metal colliding with swords sounded again on the set.
For the next two days, director Gore Verbinski was filming the scene of Witt Turner and Captain Jack Sparrow fighting against each other, and the crew had quite high expectations for the action scenes because of Matthew's relationship, and the shooting was repeated in order to get the most effective shots.
Matthew was not tired from the filming of the action scenes with a large amount of exercise, both mentally and physically got better and better, and by the third day of filming, Gore Verbinski saw that Matthew's state had reached a peak, and simply re-shot many of the previous shots.
In three days, the crew shot hundreds of shots in just this action scene.
Later, Matthew took a short break to adjust, and Gore Verbinski began to shoot some jumble shots showing medieval civilian life on a nearby site.
In these shots, whether it is a person or any other being, it looks dirty.
In fact, most of the characters in the film have very few white and clean shots, such as Captain Jack Sparrow, not to mention his style, sloppy and sloppy is not much better than a beggar.
Compared to Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner's look is cleaner, but it's also 108,000 miles away from the white-faced kid.
Not to mention passerby actors.
In order to achieve the dirty picture effect in the shot, Gore Verbinsky also used a special trick to make the group of extras complain.
