Chapter 201 Modifying the Action Design

In the early morning of July 1st, Matthew rushed to the Disney Studio and entered the No. 3 studio where he had been to the audition. Under the guidance of the staff, he entered a locker room and changed into the training clothes carefully prepared by the crew. Back in the studio, I walked into the separate training hall.

It was probably still relatively early. There were only a few people in the training hall. Matthew didn't see any actors he knew. , In addition to the flat wooden floor in the middle of this training ground, there are also wooden bridges, stones and fake boats and other equipment arranged in some places. He went over to take a look.

Standing on the edge of a narrow wooden bridge, Matthew reached out and felt that it was not wood, but a resin material often used in Hollywood.

Behind him, an old man with gray hair came over and said, "It's made of polyethylene. It's a very good material. It's very tough, and people won't get hurt easily when it touches it."

Matthew looked at him. The old man was also wearing a training suit. He immediately had a guess in his heart, and immediately introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Matthew Horner, an actor on the crew."

"I know you." The old man looked at Matthew and said, "I've seen the video of your audition with makeup on. Your swordsmanship is very good."

He suddenly remembered something, and quickly introduced himself, "I'm Robert Anderson."

Matthew immediately put on a respectful look and said, "My swordsmanship coach Patrick Elgra is your student."

Robert Anderson was a little surprised. "Your fancy sword fighting was taught by Patrick Elgra? No wonder I look familiar with the action routines."

Matthew said humbly, "I just learned a little bit."

At this time, someone walked in at the entrance of the training hall. Matthew looked at it. It was Jerry Bruckheimer. He went over to greet him with Robert Anderson. After waiting for a while, there were more actors one after another. Walking in, these actors have distinct characteristics, strange appearances, crooked melons and cracked dates, which are unforgettable.

It is estimated that the crew specially looked for actors to play the crew of the Black Pearl.

Later, Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush also came, and he also played Captain Barbossa in action scenes, and proper training was also essential.

However, he obviously couldn't chat with a young actor like Matthew, and the two sides simply said hello under the introduction of Jerry Bruckheimer.

Then, there was another girl with brown hair and blond hair. From the feeling, this girl had that kind of unspeakable British classical temperament.

This is also the main partner in the future shooting. After Jerry Bruckheimer's introduction, Matthew also took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello, Miss Knightley."

Matthew took the initiative to stretch out his right hand. Keira Knightley was young, but came from an acting family, and seemed very educated. He gently shook his right hand politely, "Hello, Mr. Horner."

The two may stay in the same crew for the next few months, and there are still a lot of opponent scenes to rehearse. Matthew smiled deliberately and said, "Call me Matthew."

Kelly Knightley nodded slightly, "You can call me Keira."

Matthew then chatted with her a few words. Keira Knightley also had a few action scenes during the filming. She didn't need to receive swordsmanship training, as long as she came twice a week and had proper physical coordination training.

The first time we met, Matthew didn't say much, and soon ended the conversation with each other. What impressed him most about this young British actress was her appearance. Because of the previous relationship, his eyes swept over inadvertently. Keira Knightley's chest doesn't seem to be as prominent as his.

This is also beneficial. When acting in European and American costume dramas, you don't need to corset your chest.

Keira Knightley's face shape is also relatively rare, with a square face, with a slightly protruding chin at the mouth position, which seems to be a bit overwhelming, and the facial lines have straight edges and corners like a knife cut, except for classical In addition, it also gives a kind of heroic feeling.

This isn't the pretty and sexy type of actress, but it's a rather peculiar look that's impressive at first sight.

Jerry Bruckheimer dared to use an actress under 18 as the female lead in such a $140 million production. This actress must have her own uniqueness.

This kind of uniqueness is definitely not what Keira Knightley did to make Jerry Bruckheimer happy, but it must come from the fit with the character setting.

To put it mildly, reselling Keira Knightley a hundred times isn't worth the money Jerry Bruckheimer put into it.

In Hollywood, there is a rather peculiar phenomenon. To play a classical beauty with extraordinary temperament, the director and producer will give priority to the little flowers from England, while the little flowers from the United States play the role of a silly eldest sister or L. preferred choice.

The last person to come to the training hall was naturally the biggest actor in the crew. As soon as Johnny Depp appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.

The famous Hollywood geek didn't change his clothes. He was wearing a peculiarly styled suit with bright blue color, huge gold earrings on his ears, sleepy eyes on his face, and a pair of tea-colored glasses, but he couldn't hide the black behind him. Eye circles, more eye-catching than dark circles, are the exposed golden teeth.

Even without makeup, Johnny Depp has the three-point style of Captain Jack Sparrow, the role of the pirate captain, which was designed for him.

It's no wonder that Jerry Bruckheimer offered a salary that was much higher than his actual worth. In addition to Johnny Depp not taking such purely commercial entertainment films, there are probably reasons for this.

However, Johnny Depp was obviously not ready for training today. He met the cast and crew of the crew and had no intention of participating in the next training. He soon left accompanied by Jerry Bruckheimer. .

Others didn't say much, apparently believing that Johnny Depp belonged to the privileged class on the set.

Training begins immediately, and similar to Johnny Depp, the layers in the crew do exist, with the rest of the cast warming up under the direction of Robert Anderson's student Mark Ivey, Matthew and Kate Knightley Two people occupy a very large area of ​​the training hall, and are guided by Robert Anderson alone to perform the most basic warm-up and muscle stretching training.

These are very easy for Matthew. He has carried out a lot of related exercises in Niebola's fitness club in the past two years.

After the warm-up, Robert Anderson simply called another assistant to guide Keira Knightley and called Matthew to the sword stand.

Robert Anderson took two sabers from the sword stand and threw one of them over. Matthew took the prop sword. The first impression was that it was light, which was two-thirds lighter than the one he used in training. When I touched the blade with my hand, it looked like a steel sword, but it was actually a lightweight aluminum alloy.

"Let's try a sword move..."

Robert Anderson, who was in his seventies, still looked strong and put on a move, and Matthew certainly wouldn't refuse, saying, "Okay."

His right foot is in front, toes outward, left foot is behind, toes inward, in a standard starting position.

Robert Anderson nodded secretly and said nothing, but in terms of posture, the young actor opposite was impeccable.

"Be careful..."

He reminded, and the sword in his hand stabbed out.

Matthew has been concentrating, his right hand suddenly exerted force, and the saber slammed directly into Robert Anderson's sword. This is the most basic block action taught by Patrick Elgra.

Unexpectedly, Robert Anderson took a big step back and said directly, "Stop!"

Ma Jiu was ready to attack, stopped quickly, looked at Robert Anderson, "Is there a problem with the movement?"

"No." Robert Anderson kept swinging his right hand holding the sword and said, "The movement is very standard, but there is a little..."

He handed the saber to his left hand, and then shook his right hand sharply, "Matthew, you are using too much force! I'm in my seventies, and I can't stand such a force."

Robert Anderson did not expect that an actor can be so powerful. He has dealt with many Hollywood actors, and most of those male stars with beautiful muscles are not useful.

The strength of this person is probably greater than that of a professional saber player.

Matthew smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, I'm used to practicing with Patrick Elgra."

"My hands are hurting." Robert Anderson stepped forward and reminded Matthew, "I'm okay, I'm old, and the training in this area has not been interrupted. If I replace it with someone who has not undergone professional training , the sword must be let go."

Matthew nodded, and Robert Anderson added, "It's the actors who are playing against you during filming, not someone like me. Be careful to control your power."

"I see." Matthew took a step back and put his hands up again, "Robert, let's come again."

"it is good!"

Robert Anderson's saber was handed over to his right hand and stabbed at Matthew again. This time Matthew deliberately controlled his strength so that the sword competition could go on smoothly.

To say that it is compared to swords is actually just a show. The moves of the two are fancy and beautiful, but their aggression is very limited. It is not so much that the two are comparing swordsmanship, it is better to say who is more handsome and more beautiful.

After all, they all used fancy sword fighting.

In less than a minute, Matthew and Robert Anderson stopped. After all, Robert Anderson was old and had begun to pant.

"Very good! Excellent." Robert Anderson gasped and said, "We just skip the basic sword training step."

He thought for a moment, then said, "I'm going to discuss with Jerry and George to revise Will Turner's motion design."
