Chapter 202 Complementary temperament
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
After joining the crew, he participated in the training before filming for more than ten days. Matthew had not seen the film director Gore Vibinsky. Even if it was placed in Hollywood, a producer-centered production, this was a very rare thing. He speculated that Gore Vibinsky might not participate too much in other work in the crew except for filming.
Matthew has not conducted basic training since the first day of training. After discussing with Jerry Brookheimer and action coach George Ruger, he redesigned a more difficult action routine that is more suitable for him to increase the excitement of the fighting scenes in future films.
In order to assist Matthew in training, Robert Anderson specially changed Mark Ivey, who was responsible for training pirate actors, and asked the young swordsman to practice with Matthew specifically.
Of course, although the action design has been adjusted, the first priority of fancy sword fighting is still beauty.
Matthew's physical coordination was good and his steps were very flexible. After more than two weeks of training, he could even complete some difficult sword movements.
Johnny Depp completed basic swordsmanship training, and under the guidance of Robert Anderson, Matthew and him began to rehearse some action scenes against each other.
Unlike Matthew and Mark Ivey's rehearsals, like actual shooting, are separated into countless small pieces, and each movement will not last more than three seconds at most. Once the time is a little longer, Johnny Depp can't keep up with Matthew's rhythm at all.
Matthew and Johnny Depp have been rehearsing more often and they are gradually getting familiar with each other. Although the two did not communicate much except for rehearsals, he could see that Johnny Depp is a bit strange, but he is a relatively simple person.
Johnny Depp is a bit casual in his work and often does whatever he thinks. This seems a bit like the set stirrer Vin Diesel he met. However, except that he occasionally gets late because he is overslept, the two have essential differences. Johnny Depp has never forced himself to overwhelm anyone in the crew because of his biggest status. Instead, he seems quite friendly. If someone asks him for help, he rarely refuses as long as he is within his ability.
In addition, Depp was very generous. Sometimes when he wanted to eat something at noon, the takeaway he ordered must be one of everyone present.
Some people may think this is a bribery, but in Matthew's judgment, Johnny Depp doesn't seem to care much about money and is used to spending money.
In short, Johnny Depp is not difficult to get along with except for his weird personality and a little casual personality.
The atmosphere of this crew is relatively peaceful. Even Kayla Knightley, who is from a British background and looks a bit arrogant and British, gets along well with the people in the crew.
Not to mention Matthew, as long as no one jumps out as a road blocker, he is still very good at engaging in relationships with others.
Not to mention anything else, after a month of training, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, both of the two partners in the filming, think he is a pretty good person.
Training is very tiring and exhausting, but Matthew enjoys it. When a person concentrates on doing one thing, he will naturally forget about the others. A month of training also completely frees him from the depression of breaking up love.
Some things go by.
"John, hold the knife in your hand!"
In the training hall, Matthew said to Johnny Depp opposite him, "Don't let me block your knife again!"
The sword in his hand pointed at Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp held a pirate scimitar and seemed to have entered Jack Sparrow's state. He pinched the orchid finger and said sissyly, "You use less effort."
"All right!"
The sword in Matthew's hand pierced straight out. He was not fast in his sword speed and power, so he still had a routine set in advance. Johnny Depp swung his swords to block it, and the swords intersected, making a crisp metal collision sound.
The knife in Johnny Depp's hand swung out directly, but Matthew's sword continued to show up. Fortunately, he practiced for many days and stopped in time. The aluminum alloy sword stopped one foot away from Depp.
"Oh..." Johnny Depp yawned, "I drank too much last night, and my hands and feet are still a little soft, why don't we be here?"
Matthew shrugged, "It's up to you."
Johnny Depp stretched and placed the pirate scimitar on the weapon stand, saying, "I'll go to bed." He squeezed his eyes at Matthew, "Call me if you have something to do."
"Go." Matthew waved his hand. This was not the first time.
This is Johnny Depp, free and casual, and likes to be unrestrained.
Johnny Depp left, and Mark Ivey was guiding Keira Knightley for physical coordination training. Matthew had no opponent in the training, so he simply went to the resting place on the far left, took a bottle of water, sat on the chair while drinking water, and watched Robert Anderson train the group of pirates with a very beautiful appearance.
After watching for a while, Matthew considered the shooting that would start soon. Although Johnny Depp was free and casual, he basically regarded himself as Captain Jack Sparrow on the training ground, crazy, squeamish, and quite funny.
He could see that Johnny Depp's acting skills were not comparable to his own. His judgment on the quality of acting skills was indeed very subjective. If the difference between the two actors was very large, it was also very obvious.
Not to mention acting skills, Jack Sparrow is more conducive to acting than Will Turner in terms of setting. If not, he wouldn't have fought for Will Turner.
Johnny Depp has better acting skills than himself, is more famous than himself, and has a higher status than himself. In addition, his unique personality is also very attractive, so it is naturally easier to stand out.
Think about the former Orlando Bloom. She was obviously a two-leading role, but she was suppressed into a supporting actor...
Matthew didn't want to be suppressed by Johnny Depp so much. He also knew that after all the conditions, it was inevitable that he was suppressed by Johnny Depp, but suppression could be done, like Orlando Bloom, it was really difficult to accept.
How can Will Turner be equally outstanding under the glory of Captain Jack Sparrow?
This is a question Matthew has been thinking about recently.
To be honest, he was deliberately trying to get so close to Johnny Depp, wanting to carefully observe Johnny Depp and find the place that was conducive to his performance during the shooting.
Not to mention, I really found some.
Johnny Depp has been drinking all year round, and has been taking drugs before, so he is not in good health. He is a slim and feminine temperament, partly by acting, and the other part is carried by himself.
Perhaps this is also the sequelae of the excessive performances of Tim Burton's movies.
Johnny Depp lacks that masculine temperament. If he is asked to play a pure tough guy, he will definitely lose his mind.
Therefore, after thinking during this period, Matthew basically determined his strategy, and did his best to show Will Turner's masculine side.
By now, he has seen his own characteristics in the camera very clearly.
He has a tough face and strong body, and his physical fitness and skills far better than Depp, he can completely try to form a sharp contrast with the sissy pirate!
According to his understanding, this comparison should be able to form complementarity and seem to be more beneficial to the film.
Just as Matthew was thinking, the two people standing at the entrance of the training hall walked out together, and walked towards the exit of the studio while discussing what they had just seen.
"Johnny Depp is famous for his weird personality." Jerry Bruckheimer looked at the director Gore Wibinsky next to him. "When shooting, pay attention to coordinating his relationship with him."
Gore Vibinski nodded, "After the shooting begins, he must not be as free and casual as he is now."
"No." Jerry Brookheimer had been preventing it, and Johnny Depp was just a second-tier man, and he could suppress him and his agent. "There are relevant clauses in the contract signed by the crew unless he voluntarily waived some of the salary."
"That's good." Gore Vepinsky came to the crew for a few days and learned that the situation was limited. "I watched two auditions of Matthew Horner, and just watched him carefully. Matthew Horner was very strong and seemed to be very good."
Jerry Brookheimer said, "He has been practicing swordsmanship for more than half a year, and has been filming war films and action films in the past two years. The related physical fitness training has not been interrupted. He is a very outstanding action actor."
"Jack..." Gore Wibinsky said tentatively, "Can we make appropriate adjustments to Will Turner's role based on Matthew Horner's actual situation?"
"Terry Lucio and I have this idea, too." Jack Brookheimer said the person who was the chief screenwriter of the crew. "We don't talk about the role, just the actors. Matthew Horner is completely different from Johnny Depp, just like a positive and negative pole."
Gore Vipensky agrees with this view, "Yes! That's it!"
Jack Brookheimer could listen to others' opinions and asked, "Let's talk about your thoughts first."
Gore Vibinsky was not polite and said directly, "Is it possible? We set the Pirate and the Blacksmith as two characters with completely opposite temperaments. Pirates are feminine and blacksmith masculine. The two characters have complementary temperaments, and there may be wonderful chemical reactions."
"Actually, I thought so too," Jack Brookehai said indecisively. "If I hadn't wanted to ask for your director's advice, I would have asked Terry Lucio to change it."
This sentence encouraged Gore Vipensky and said, "After seeing the sword competition between Matthew Horner and Johnny Depp, I had another idea. The pirate's fighting style is more sinister and focuses more on conspiracy and tricks in battle! The blacksmith has a higher martial arts value and a very strong combat power, which is exactly matched with Matthew Horner's skills and appearance characteristics."
