Chapter 397: Preparations
PS: xiexie civet cat's tip!
Although the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" will start a month later, because the crew is working overtime to build a studio, Cui Zhengyuan's preparation began after the successful interview.
First of all, the first point is to gain weight.
His body shape is too thin, although it is very much in line with the current male fashion trend, but it is not the same as the one in the movie. Turner's blacksmith identity does not match.
If you are a blacksmith, at least the muscles of your upper body must be knotted and bulging. The muscle lines like he has now are not obvious, and he looks more like a noble son than a low-level manual laborer.
The second is to grow your hair.
Men of the sixteenth century had slightly longer hair and then tied together.
At this time, Cui Zhengyuan still continued the messy short hair of the "Cup of Life" and "Itismylife" periods.
When filming "Infernal Affairs", he already wore a wig in order to match the image in the play. But Gore. What Vibinski asks for more thoroughly must be genuine. Because there are many action scenes in the movie, the wig is easy to fall off and does not look natural.
For this film, even historians invited Gore. How could Verbinski, possibly tolerate any negligence? Didn't look at Johnny. Depp, in order to look more like a pirate, even the gold tooth is inlayed.
In a month's time, he had to gain five kilograms, which was an absolute hellish test for Choi Jung-won. Not only that, but it is also necessary to develop obvious muscles, which is a super difficult task.
So during this time, even if he lived in a house in Los Angeles, Quan Zhilong, Liu Renna and others had never seen him.
Cui Zhengyuan spends more than ten hours a day in the gym, following the guidance of professional fitness coaches to strengthen the body contour.
A month later, when Choi Jung-won appeared on the Disney company's studio, many people, including the director, almost didn't recognize him.
"Oh my God, Lance. Did you take hormones? "Crazy Johnny. Depp floated over with a sissy tongue, stretched out his orchid finger and poked Cui Zhengyuan's bulging chest muscles.
It seems that this benevolent brother is really included in the role, and even his usual words and actions have the charm of Captain Jack.
Of course, he's not alone. Cui Zhengyuan has not wasted his time for a while, and after getting the script, he has already put Will . The character and habits of Turner are mastered.
I saw that his expression changed. Turner's emphasis on being from a lower class but having to imitate an aristocratic temperament is expressed unhindered. "Jack. Captain Sparrow, don't let me catch you. I'll send you to the gallows! β
"Oh roar, yes. It's really good. When I was as young as you, I didn't have such haode acting skills. "Johnny. Depp's face straightened and he returned to his original appearance.
is worthy of being an international movie star known for his acting skills, and the speed of transformation from character to reality makes Cui Zhengyuan breathtaking.
At least he knew that he couldn't be so perfect at the moment. Otherwise, you have to undergo psychiatric treatment.
As they spoke, a slightly reserved female voice rang out from the side, and it was getting closer. "Two gentlemen. It is immoral to ignore a lady for the sake of treasure. β
The two turned their heads to look and saw the actress Kayla. Knightley, like the daughter of a real eighteenth-century colonial governor, walked up with a haughty and reserved look.
Looks like. The three leading actors have already been able to enter the play. In this way, when the movie starts, there will be no run-in problems between them.
When Kayla approached, the first thing she focused on was Choi Jung-won, who would play a couple with her in the movie.
I didn't expect it to be in great contrast with the image I saw on TV before. At this time, Cui Zhengyuan had more of a tempered temperament. And the figure is a lot bigger, and the muscles in his arms are piled up like a mountain, and he knows that he is a blacksmith at a glance.
And it's okay to be tall. Standing with her in high heels, she didn't seem to be understated.
This also reassured Kayla a lot, and she had some confidence in the next shoot.
You know, as described in the script, Will. Turner was only a descendant of a pirate and an apprentice of a blacksmith. But it is completely in line with the temperament of Prince Charming, impeccable in all aspects.
Kayla couldn't imagine what it would be like for a prince charming who was shorter than herself.
In her impression, it seemed that men in the East were very short. Cui Zhengyuan's appearance can be regarded as breaking her cognition.
"Great, Johnny, Lance, Kayla, you're all here." Before the voice arrived, Gore strode over.
The three of them greeted each other, "Hello director." β
After finishing speaking, they realized that they had such a tacit understanding with each other, and they couldn't help but hahadaxiao.
Gore was also amused, and after pausing for a long time, he said, "Since you're all here, let's get down to business." Before the shoot begins, I think you guys need to learn a little bit about it. β
"Nautical and military conditions?" This is Johnny. Depp asked.
Unlike his appearance, he is very manly on the inside. I prefer things like smash and kill and adventure.
"Habits of daily life and customs and etiquette?" That's Kayla's problem.
A woman's focus is always on the details.
"Fencing?" Cui Zhengyuan was concise and to the point.
There are a lot of action scenes in "Pirates of the Caribbean", among which fencing is the main fighting method.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very surprised by how well you are prepared. Yes, you're right, these are your compulsory lessons for the next few days. The following is the invitation of the respected historian Peter. Tvester and stunt master George. Marshall. Ruger, as well as the master of swordsmanship Robert. Anderson and his disciple Mark. Ivy. β
With his words, the curtain of the room was lifted, and four people walked in.
"These four will be responsible for teaching you all about this film for the next month. So the three of you, take a look at which course you should start first? "Gore still has a lot of time at the moment, so he took it upon himself to teach the actors.
"I'm going to learn etiquette and history." A hearty Kayla said first.
"I choose fencing." This sentence was said by Johnny and Choi Jung-won together.
The unanimous answer also made the two have the idea of sympathizing with each other. Men really have the same hidden genes in their bones, and they prefer force.
Swordsman Robert. Anderson was nearly sixty years old, but he wasn't old at all. On the contrary, he is energetic and radiant, and at first glance he is a grandmaster-level character.
He is also happy to be chosen by two people at the same time. said in a slightly humorous tone: "Then the two big stars come with me, and I promise to let you fight five at a time in a month." β
Following behind the sword master's ass, Cui Zhengyuan thought darkly. This old man's kung fu is not good, only one fights five. You must know that Zhen Daxia is a ten, which is twice as much as him.
For this movie, Disney has made a bloody investment.
The video studio and the training ground are connected together, and the scale is about to catch up with the special film and television city. And since it is only for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, the facilities here are more professional.
Cui Zhengyuan walked around, paid attention to everywhere, secretly wrote down some desirable points, and prepared to go back to explain to the film and television staff of A.P Company.
The sword training ground is right next to it, and it won't take you five minutes to arrive.
Since the two were new to fencing, the person in charge of teaching was Robert's disciple Mark Brown. Ivy.
Compared to his teachers, Mark is more energetic and approachable. Following the teacher's instructions, Mark first talked about the origin, history, and essentials of fencing.
Because the Western sword is lighter and the sword body is narrow and long, there is no chopping and slashing action in Western swordsmanship. Generally, when the sword body is horizontal, it is used to parry the enemy's weapons.
And the main way to hurt the enemy in Western swordsmanship is to stab.
In this way, in terms of footwork and body style, Western swordsmanship does not have as many tricks as the tossing and turning of Eastern martial arts. They pay more attention to the frequency of pace in a small area and the timing of forward and backward.
After Mark finished explaining, everyone put on protective suits and masks, and Johnny and Choi Jung-won took turns to fight him and feel the use of Western swords.
Johnny. Depp has no martial arts foundation at all, and he follows Mark's teachings to draw swords and move in a decent manner, without much obvious brilliance or flaws.
"Lance, it's your turn." After teaching Johnny, Mark said to Choi Jung-won.
βhaodeγβ Cui Zhengyuan buckled his mask, picked up his sword and walked to the position of two and a half meters in front of Mark.
Unlike Johnny, Cui Zhengyuan has studied Chinese martial arts for several years. Even after listening to Mark's explanation just now, some inherent habits are still difficult to change. For example, the way he holds the sword at this time is obviously the path of Chinese martial arts.
Mark looked at it, and just wanted to lift the mask to correct his mistake. A cold light flashed in front of him, and Cui Zhengyuan's sword arrived.
In a panic, Mark jumped back, ready to block Choi Jung-won's assassination.
Unlike the traditional Western sword, which retreats and attacks again with all its might, Cui Zhengyuan's sword stabbed to the end, but his wrist flicked. At the same time, with a mistake in his foot, he has already taken two steps forward.
The shaking of his wrist caused his sword to dodge Mark's sword. A ray of starlight rushed like a flint, once again infinitely close to Mark's mask.
This time Mark had no way to stop it, and in desperation, he had to roll on a donkey to barely dodge.
Seeing that the opponent even used such a move, Cui Zhengyuan stopped pursuing.
Mark jumped up from the ground, lifted his mask, and shouted angrily, "Lance, it's not right for you to use your sword like that. It is nondescript and does not contradict traditional fencing at all. β
As soon as he said it, Cui Zhengyuan was embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Mark. I was accustomed to nature and forgot. Again, I promise not to do it again. (To be continued......)
