Chapter 380 Resolutely Do Not Change

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

"Back back! Back back..."

On the beautiful pristine island, Matthew grabbed Johnny Depp with one hand and Keira Knightley who was watching the scenery today with the other, and quietly retreated into the crew.

Just in front of them, dozens of extras served as local natives, holding prop spears, blocked them in front, and spoke local dialect that they couldn't understand, looking extremely excited.

The crew's translator and the middleman hired in the Dominican are negotiating with them urgently, and the situation doesn't look good.

Matthew, regardless of the people watching the show, pulled Kayla Knightley and Johnny Depp to continue back, and looked back to see if there was a way to leave behind and if something happened, it would be easier to escape.

This is not a shooting, nor is he Will Turner. The indigenous men opposite him are probably not a big deal, and no matter how many of them, they will only be beaten up by a group.

Yes, the crew was temporarily in a sudden situation. When just filming the scene where Captain Jack Sparrow was about to be eaten by the cannibal barbecue, the indigenous actors hired from the local area suddenly went on strike and collectively surrounded the crew's shooting location.

Matthew quickly figured out the situation from a local English-speaking guide. The scene just filmed was Captain Jack, played by Johnny Depp, accidentally caught by a cannibal tribe. He was placed next to a bonfire, surrounded by vegetables and fruits. Captain Jack almost became a feast for the tribes.

It was such a scene that aroused the anger of a tribal leader. They believed that the crew had misinterpreted their ancestors and mistakenly thought they were cannibals, so they came over to ask for an explanation.

When encountering such a thing, of course, the crew leader and a tall one are on the top. People like Matthew will never stand up stupidly. The first thing that comes to mind is how to escape safely if something happens.

Of course, he did not forget his two friends on the crew, and pulled Kaira Knightley and Johnny Depp, who were still trying to watch the fun, retreated to the back of the crew.

"Can't fight?" Johnny Depp said heartlessly at the dozens of natives not far away, "It seems that we are many."

"I hope not." Matthew reminded, "Don't forget, this is on the native territory, and they might have already called people in the tribe."

Kayla Knightley clutched Matthew's arm with one hand, "What should we do?"

Matthew looked back and saw that they had retreated to the edge of the hill, behind which was about forty-five degrees. Through the low vegetation on the slope, they could see the crew's vehicles. With his skills, it was not difficult to go down.

"If the natives do it," Matthew pointed to the slope and whispered, "Let's go down from here."

Kayla Knightley also looked back and asked, "Will there be snakes?"

"Ah..." Johnny Depp said, "Generally speaking, there must be snakes in such places."

Kayla Knightley subconsciously approached Matthew, as if afraid of a snake coming.

Matthew was too lazy to pay attention to Johnny Depp's crazy words and reminded him and Kayla Knightley, "The situation is wrong later, you must follow me!"

He had been observing the movement ahead, and the situation was obviously not very good. The natives of those tribes seemed to be getting more and more excited. Director Gore Vepinski and a producer had already let the crew's security personnel stand in front, but no one expected such an accident. There were only a few seven or eight security personnel coming here, but they had just come to drive away possible snakes and other animals.

There are quite a few people here in the crew, with 50 or 60, but what really happens? Except for a few stunt actors in the action guidance group, others probably can't stop the indigenous strong men.

"Take the dollar!" Johnny Depp finally got a little good at it, "Take the money quickly!"

Kayla Knightley stood on tiptoe and looked forward through the cracks, asking strangely, "Did the crew not communicate with these indigenous actors in advance?"

It was obvious, Matthew said, "It seems that there is no communication at all."

Johnny Depp suddenly said, "This is just a movie, and it's not really a cannibal. Do you still need to communicate about such small questions? The crew paid for filming here, what is our freedom to shoot."

Matthew sighed softly when he heard Johnny Depp, who had always been strange words, said this.

Kayla Knightley nodded, then Depp said, "They take this too seriously and interfere with the crew."

It is obvious that both of them think that the Indigenous actors are making unreasonable things, and even what Hollywood films are all about Hollywood's freedom.

Matthew is not surprised. Ninety-nine percent of the people in the circle have similar ideas, even famous weirdos like Johnny Depp are no exception.

The so-called liberalism cannot be described as rampant in Hollywood.

A middle-aged man wearing eyes and with a big split suddenly retreated from the crowd and found Matthew, Depp and Keira Knightley.

Matthew and the others also saw him, and the person who withdrew was director Gore Vibinsky.

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

Fortunately, things did not develop into an irreversible bad situation. After nearly half an hour of conversation and persuasion, a local staff member hired by the crew finally calmed down the emotions of the indigenous people. Then the local government police arrived. Although they did not disperse the indigenous actors, a wall of isolation was also formed between the indigenous people and the crew.

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

Matthew nodded slightly, "The people from the Dominican government are here, and the situation should not worsen."

The crew spent more than $100 million in the Dominican Republic and hired more than 400 local people to work. For the Dominican government, which has an unemployment rate of more than 70%, such an investment scale is definitely a huge one.

Moreover, once the movie is released, it will also be a publicity and promotion for the Dominican tourism industry.

The storm was resolved quickly, and the crew also knew how to adapt. With the coordination of the locals, they provided 100 boxes of Coca-Cola to several local indigenous tribes...

Then, the natives retreated happily, making people wonder whether their motives were to blackmail the crew.

Of course, the crew's shooting plan remains unchanged, and in the camera, the natives will still be described as cannibal tribes.

However, in order to prevent another unexpected situation, Gore Vipensky temporarily asked the crew to withdraw from Santo Domingo, and waited to return to the United States to find another location to shoot the remaining shots.
