Best Movie Star

Chapter 217: King Arthur

In the special dressing room, Matthew finished his makeup and sent away his makeup artist and assistant Mila Wang, leaving only him and Helen Herman in the room.

"On the call at noon..." Matthew turned to look at Helen Herman, "You said Jerry Bruckheimer is planning a new project again?"

The speed is terrifying, he asked. "Or with Disney?"

Helen Herman pulled out the chair next to him and sat down, saying, "Jerry Bruckheimer is currently a key partner for Disney."

Matthew sighed with emotion, "He's too fast."

But then I think about it, after 2000, Jerry Bruckheimer launched the film, and, and this speed seems to be normal.

After that night, Helen Herman inquired in many ways and got more news, "Not only is it fast, but Jerry Bruckheimer is also very ambitious. He wants to cooperate with Disney on two projects at one time!"

Even Matthew was a little surprised this time, "Jerry Bruckheimer has two more projects planned before filming is finished?"

For Hollywood, that's not too far from the speed of light.

Fortunately, Jerry Bruckheimer is a producer. If he were a director, the whole of Hollywood would be crazy.

Matthew asked again, "Or a big production?"

Helen Herman nodded lightly, "The investment budget of each project is said to be no less than 100 million US dollars!" She did not wait for Matthew to continue to ask, and said in detail, "I asked people related to Disney, and two One of the projects is a costume, the other is a modern drama, all of which are action-commercial genres."

If it wasn't for this type, she wouldn't care so much.

Matthew naturally understood what Helen Herman meant, thought about it, and said, "Let's concentrate on fighting for one of them."

With experience with these two projects, Helen Herman also knows that it is very unrealistic to want to compete for the male lead of two major first-line projects at the same time.

"Well." This time she agreed with Matthew's opinion, "I think so too."

"Any more precise news?" Matthew asked.

"For the costume project, Jerry Bruckheimer has already decided on the script, and he asked Walt Disney to buy a new script by the gold medal screenwriter David Franzoni."

This screenwriter Matthew also knows, because it is the screenwriter he once participated in.

Helen Herman continued, "Only a few people know the specific content of the script. I didn't inquire clearly, but I only know that this is an epic-type script related to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table."

Matthew scratched his head, trying to recall the relevant content, vaguely remembering that Madonna's ex-husband seemed to have made a King Arthur movie, but unfortunately he came here before he downloaded the resources from the Internet.

In this case, the time is not right. It is only 2002. At the crazy speed of Jerry Bruckheimer, it is impossible to delay the release until more than ten years later.

He didn't seem to have seen such a movie at all, and only vaguely remembered that many blockbusters related to the king or the emperor were ugly street goods.

"Another project is similar, with only one idea at the moment."

Helen Herman has not been idle at all these days, and has run a lot of relationships, "I don't know the creative content yet, I only found that the idea was first created by Oren Aviv, the head of the international marketing department of Bowei International, and his creation. Partner Charles Seggs came up with it, and then found Jerry Bruckheimer to perfect it. Last week, Jerry Bruckheimer took two writers to Washington, and I asked them specifically, they are in Washington, D.C. The U.S. National Archives, specifically looking at a lot of American independence material."

"Is this project related to American independence?" Matthew continued to search the memory in his head while wondering, but for a while he had no clue.

Helen Herman shook her head, "It's not certain yet." She thought about it and said, "I'll check on the specific situation, and 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 Herman still warned, "Jerry Bruckheimer likes to use actors who have worked with him in new projects, you must remember this."

Matthew stretched out his finger and nodded his head, "I remember."

"If I can succeed..." Helen Herman said again, "I will have the confidence to call out a super high salary offer for you for the next job!"

Matthew said deliberately, "Twenty million dollars?"

Helen Herman glanced at him, "You think too much."

She was too lazy to say anything else, just when a text message came over from her mobile phone, she simply looked at her phone.

Dressed as Will Turner, Matthew sits in front of the vanity mirror, reminiscing carefully about movies that may have been linked to Helen Herman's words.

As the male protagonist, he enjoys far higher treatment than the supporting roles, but also has to bear the corresponding high risks. If a big movie fails, the supporting actors can continue to be supporting roles in another project. The protagonist must Together with the director and producer of the film, they are directly responsible for the failure. Many people have never recovered from the failure of a major production.

In the past, when he was a minor supporting role, it didn't matter. Now that he is a leading actor, he is still climbing up the ladder. Only then did Matthew realize how precious the memory of watching pirated movies is, even though the pirated movies he has watched are not special. Most of them are commercial and entertainment popcorn with no depth, but it is exactly in line with his current positioning, and it can help him avoid some pitiful movies to some extent.

Around this era, he really has no impression of epic films related to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

From a risk aversion perspective, this project is not a priority.

What about another project? Matthew pinched his chin in thought.

Strictly speaking, he has worked with Jerry Bruckheimer twice, and it is relatively easier to compete for the male lead of the project in charge of Jerry Bruckheimer. In the absence of better goals, of course, it is a priority. Consider Jerry Bruckheimer's project.

Matthew frowned, information related to Independence Day...

The first thing that came to his mind was the alien invasion movie in which the U.S. imperialists delusionally promoted Independence Day as a global holiday, but that movie had been made long ago, and he had seen the rerun on TV a year ago.

I seem to have seen a movie in which Abraham Lincoln turned into a vampire hunter. I can't remember the plot. Is it also related to Independence Day?

Shouldn't it be the founding fathers of the old United States, who turned into masters of action, prancing horses on the battlefield, and howling ghosts and wolves killed by British colonists?

With Hollywood's urination, as long as you have money, you can definitely do it.

After thinking about it for a while, I really didn't expect any movies related to American Independence or Independence Day. Matthew simply stopped thinking about it. When Helen Herman got new news and had more hints, maybe he I can remember.

After closing his eyes and resting for a while, the door of the dressing room was knocked on from the outside. After Matthew said to come in, his personal assistant Mila Wang pushed the door and walked in, saying, "Will Turner is coming soon. filming has started.”

"Well, let's go to the set." Matthew ignored Helen Herman, who was fiddling with his phone, picked up the aluminum alloy prop sword hanging on the shelf, and walked out of the dressing room.

Mila-Wang put Matthew's work bag on his back and followed.

In the No. 2 studio, the pirate cave where the final scene was filmed has been built. The ground is full of golden antique coins. In the depths of the cave, treasures are piled up into a hill.

For the shooting effect, the crew specially found a company that imitated antiques to produce these bright and golden treasures.

Different from the shooting in the morning, which was mainly based on Matthew and Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley, who did not come to the studio in the morning, also joined the shooting. The shooting was mainly divided into two parts, and Matthew and Keira Knightley were responsible for the shooting. To deal with a group of strange-looking pirates, Johnny Depp and former Oscar winner Geoffrey Rushby sword.

After Matthew came to the set, Keira Knightley came over while the lighting crew was still adjusting the lights.

"Is this your bad idea?" Kelly-Knightley tapped Matthew's elbow.

"No." Matthew knew what she was talking about. "It's none of my business. It was my agent, Helen Herman, who came up with your agent, James Bernster."

"Since it's a bad idea~www.readwn.com~ Keira Knightley lowered her voice, "Why don't you refuse? "

Matthew didn't even look at her and said, "Why don't you say no."

"I..." Keira Knightley paused and said, "This is just a hype, and it's not real. Since it's good for me, why should I refuse."

Matthew shrugged, "So, I didn't say no."

Keira Knightley pouted, "I remind you, I have nothing to do with you."

"It's so sad for you to say that." Matthew turned to look at Keira Knightley. "I always thought we were friends."

Director Gore Verbinski greeted the actors to talk at this time, Keira Knightley took the lead and walked over there, and Matthew followed and walked over.

The scenes at the end are basically action scenes. This is the type that Matthew is good at. It is relatively easy to shoot, but it is not very smooth. According to the settings in the script, Will Turner will not only fight against pirates at this time, but also fight against pirates. To protect Elizabeth Swan.

Matthew has a soy sauce bottle of Keira Knightley next to him, and the situation is always frequent. The scenes in the cave were filmed for nearly ten days.

The crew then moved to Studio 4 to shoot the Interceptor vs. Black Pearl scene, and it wasn't until December that the entire filming was nearly complete.
