Chapter 217 King Arthur
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
In the special dressing room, Matthew finished his makeup artist and assistant Mira Wang, who was the only one who was left in the room was Helen Herman.
"On the phone at noon..." Matthew turned to look at Helen Herman, "You say Jerry Brookheimer is planning a new project?"
This speed was terrifying, he asked, "Or work with Disney?"
Helen Herman pulled the chair next to him and sat down, saying, "At present, Jerry Brookheimer is a key partner of Disney."
Matthew sighed quite emotionally, "He is too fast."
But after thinking about it, after 2000, the films initiated by Jerry Brookheimer include "Pearl Harbor", "Black Hawk Down", "Absolute Men 2" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", which seems to be normal.
After that night, Helen Herman inquired about it and obtained more information, "It's not just fast, but Jerry Brookheimer is also very ambitious. He wants to cooperate with Disney two projects at one time!"
Even Matthew was a little surprised, "The Pirates of the Caribbean" has not been completed yet, and Jerry Brookheimer is going to plan two more projects?"
For Hollywood, this is not much different from the speed of light.
Fortunately, Jerry Brookheimer is a producer. If it were a director, the whole of Hollywood would be crazy.
Matthew asked again, "Or big production?"
Helen Herman nodded gently, "The investment budget for each project is said to be no less than 100 million US dollars!" She said in detail without waiting for Matthew to continue asking, "I asked people related to Disney that two projects are costumes and modern dramas, all of which are action commercial films."
If it is not this type, she wouldn't care so much.
Matthew naturally understood what Helen Herman meant, thought for a while, and said, "Let's focus on one of them."
With experience in the two projects of "Van Helsing" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", Helen Herman also knew that it was unrealistic to compete for the male lead of two first-tier projects at the same time.
"Well." This time she agreed with Matthew's opinion, "I think so too."
"Is there any more precise news?" Matthew asked.
"Jerry Brookheimer has confirmed the script in the costume project. He asked Walt Disney to buy a new script by gold medal screenwriter David Franzoni."
This screenwriter Matthew also knows it because he was the screenwriter of "The Gladiator" he once participated in.
Helen Hermann said nothing, "The specific content of the script is currently known by a few people. I didn't find out clearly. I only knew that this was an epic script related to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table."
Matthew scratched his head and tried to recall the relevant content. He vaguely remembered that Madonna's ex-husband seemed to have filmed a King Arthur-themed video. Unfortunately, he came here before he could get the resources online.
If you count this way, time doesn't match. It's only 2002. With Jerry Brookheimer's crazy speed, it's impossible to delay it until more than ten years later.
He seemed to have never seen such a movie, but only vaguely remembered that many blockbusters related to the King or the Emperor were all relatively ugly flops.
"The other project is similar to Pirates of the Caribbean, and currently only has one creative idea."
Helen Hermann has not been idle these days and has had a lot of relationships. "I don't know the creative content yet. I only found out that creativity was first developed by Oren Ivyff, head of the marketing department of Bowei International and his creative partner Charles Siggs, and later found Jerry Brookheimer to improve it. Last week, Jerry Brookheimer took two screenwriters to Washington. I specifically asked someone that they had checked a lot of information about the independence of the United States at the National Archives in Washington, DC."
"Is this project related to American independence?" Matthew continued to search for the memories in his head, but for a moment he had no clue.
Helen Herman shook his head, "It's not certain yet." She thought for a while and said, "I'll find out the specific situation again. I'll notify you in time if there is any new news."
"Well." Matthew understood what she meant, "Don't worry, I will be the most reassuring actor in the crew."
Helen Hermann still reminded, "Jerry Brookheimer likes to use actors who have worked with him in new projects, and you must remember this."
Matthew stretched out his finger and nodded his head, "Remember."
"If Pirates of the Caribbean can succeed..." Helen Hermann said again, "I will have the confidence to call you a super high pay offer for you in my next job!"
Matthew said intentionally, "Twenty million dollars?"
Helen Hermann glanced at him, "You're thinking too much."
She was too lazy to say anything else, and a text message came over on her mobile phone, so she simply looked at her phone.
Matthew was dressed in Will Turner, sitting in front of the makeup mirror, carefully recalling the movie that might be related to Helen Herman's words.
As the male protagonist, you enjoy a much higher treatment than the supporting roles, and you also have to bear corresponding high risks. If a big production movie fails, the supporting roles can continue to be a supporting role in another project. The protagonist has to be directly responsible for the failure of the film, and many people have never recovered from the failure of a big production.
When he was a supporting role in the past, it didn't matter. Now he became the male lead and was still climbing up. Matthew realized how precious the memory left by watching pirated movies was. Although he had not seen many pirated movies, most of them were commercial entertainment popcorns without depth, but they were exactly in line with his current positioning and could help him avoid some pitfalls.
Around this era, he really had no impression of epic videos related to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
From the perspective of risk avoidance, this project is not a priority.
What about another project? Matthew pinched his chin and thought.
Strictly speaking, he has worked with Jerry Brookheimer twice, competing for the male lead in the project that Jerry Brookheimer is responsible for, and in the absence of a better goal, of course, the Jerry Brookheimer's project should be given priority.
Matthew frowned, information related to Independence Day...
The first thing he thought of was the alien invasion movie that the US emperor wanted to promote Independence Day as a global festival, but that movie had been made long ago, and he had watched a replay on TV a year ago.
I also watched a movie about Arabham Lincoln transforming into a vampire hunter. I can't remember the plot. Is it also related to Independence Day?
Could it be that the founding fathers of the United States who turned into action masters, jumped on the battlefield, and killed the British colonists so much that they cried and howled?
With Hollywood's urinary nature, as long as you have money, you will definitely be able to do it.
After thinking about it for a while, he really didn't expect that the movies related to American Independence or Independence Day were all stopped thinking about them. When Helen Herman got new news and with more tips, he might be able to remember them.
After closing his eyes and resting for a while, the door of the dressing room was knocked from outside. After Matthew said he wanted to enter, his personal assistant Mira Wang pushed the door and walked in, saying, "The filming of Will Turner is about to start."
"Well, let's go to the set." Matthew didn't care about Helen Hermann, who was fiddling with his phone, picked up the aluminum alloy prop sword hanging on the shelf and left the dressing room.
Mira-Wang carried Matthew's work bag and followed.
In the studio No. 2, the Pirate Cave, which shot the final scene, has been built. The ground is full of golden antique coins. In the depths of the cave, treasures are piled up into a hill.
In order to shoot the effect, the crew specially found companies to imitate antiques and produced these shiny and golden treasures.
Unlike the shooting that included Matthew and Johnny Depp in the morning, Keira Knightley, who did not come to the set in the morning, also joined the shooting. The shooting was mainly divided into two parts. Matthew and Keira Knightley were responsible for dealing with a group of pirates with strange looks, Johnny Depp and former Oscar winner Jeffrey Rushby Sword.
After Matthew arrived on the set, Kayla Knightley took advantage of the time when the lighting team was still adjusting the lighting and found it.
"Is this your bad idea?" Kelly Knightley knocked Matthew's elbow.
"No." Matthew knew what she was saying, "It has nothing to do with me. It was my agent Helen Hermann, the bad idea that came up with your agent James Bairnst."
"Since it's a bad idea," Kayla Knightley lowered her voice, "Why don't you refuse?"
Matthew didn't even look at her and said, "Why don't you refuse?"
"I..." Kayla Knightley paused and said, "This is promotional hype, not real. Since it is good for me, why should I refuse?"
Matthew shrugged, "So, I didn't refuse."
Kayla Knightley pouted, "I remind you, I have nothing to do with you."
"It's so sad that you say that." Matthew turned to look at Kayla Knightley. "I always thought we were friends."
Director Gore Vibinsky called the actor to talk about the show at this time, and Kayla Knightley walked towards the top, Matthew followed behind and walked over.
The ending scenes are basically action scenes, which is the type Matthew is good at. The shooting is relatively easy, but not very smooth. According to the settings in the script, Will Turner has to fight with the pirates at this time and protect Elizabeth Swan.
Matthew has a soy sauce bottle with Kayla Knightley, and it is always happening frequently. The scenes in the cave have been filmed for nearly ten days.
Chapter completed!
