Chapter 197 Fancy Sword Fighting

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

Standing in front of the audition room, Matthew had no camera in his eyes, nor did he have the casting director, and even Jerry Brookheimer, he was Will Turner, a blacksmith who made a living by smacking iron but carefully practiced swordsmanship.

Since the audition can select paragraphs in the character script to play freely, neither Cass nor Jerry Brookheimer made any statement.

"Hello, sir." Matthew held the sword in his hand and gave a standard British gentleman's gift. He had been practicing the British accent since last year. At this moment, he even picked it up easily, "I brought the sword you want!"

Judging from the accent alone, he was like a man who grew up in London.

Matthew held the well-made sword in his hand. Because it was a one-man show, it was impossible for someone to take the sword opposite him. He pulled out the sword and said, "The sword blade is made of all steel, with gold embedded in the hilt."

He has practiced this section countless times, and the most important thing is what he needs to do next. It is impossible for an actor to do it without long-term practice. However, the crew has only been more than a month since the crew confirmed the role of Will Turner. It took only more than half a month to recruit actors from the public. It was impossible for other people to cheat like him. They have been preparing for this audition since last year and have been practicing fencing unremittingly.

He and Helen Hermann did a lot of work in the early stage, and even conducted an analysis of Jerry Brookheimer based on past reality. Jerry Brookheimer is a typical commercial filmmaker. The first thing he pays attention to is definitely not acting. Otherwise, the film he initiated would not allow Ben Affrake, Liv Taylor, Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale to be recognized as facial paralysis as the protagonists.

"This sword..." Matthew threw the sword with his right hand, and the sword turned neatly and landed steadily on the left fist. His left fist supported the junction of the hilt and the sword blade. The hilt and the sword blade were hung in his hand like an empty balance. He said again, "The hilt and the sword blade are the same width and weight are basically the same. The Brigadier General will definitely be satisfied."

Jerry Brookheimer did not look up at Matthew, but just looked at the monitor in front of him. He remembered Matthew Horner, an actor who played Sergeant Hutter in "Black Hawk Down", a flexible, dedicated and hardworking young actor.

At that time, he had watched the live filming several times in Morocco and also communicated with the crew's military advisers. Matthew Horner was the closest one among all the crew's actors.

Even old directors like Ridley Scott praised him endlessly.

The only flaw is that the literary drama is a little weaker.

Now it seems that Matthew Horner's literary drama is not much better than when filming "Black Hawk Down", but his skills are still as flexible.

Of course, a character like Will Turner who mainly plays cool and cool doesn't require much good acting skills.

"I practice swords for three hours a day..."

In front of the camera, Matthew has finished his literary performance and started the part he has to highlight, "It is to kill him when he meets a pirate!"

The last British accent came out, he took a step forward, and the sword in his hand pierced out like lightning, like a poisonous snake, and the sword aimed at the camera lens...

Although there were no enemies on the other side, Matthew was well prepared and skilled in his movements. The sword in his hand was almost played with various movements such as picking, stinging, slashing, and staging.

The coach who taught him swordsmanship had been away from professional fencing for many years and had been in the action guidance group of "Zorro's Mask" to understand what kind of swordsmanship is needed for an actor to practice swordsmanship.

The sword skills he taught Matthew pay more attention to the beauty of his moves rather than actual combat.

Matthew has been practicing swordsmanship since last year. Even if no one fights now, he is alone in the air, and he is like a master selling hand-in-hand, and he is extremely exciting.

In fact, not only the East has a unique existence like dance, but also in the West, just like Jack Chen, who was born in a opera troupe, was actually juggling. There are similar performance inheritances in the West, and things like playing the game style have also been popular in the East and the West.

But now, this kind of slap-style sales have been directly transplanted to a more modern literary and artistic stage movie!

"It's interesting..." Director Cass muttered.

This actor who auditioned was very special. He had a series of literary operas and martial operas. In general, the literary operas were good, but they were not very outstanding. The martial operas were different. This was obviously specially practiced. It was not just a temporary practice, but a short-term practice, but a long-term professional training.

Jerry Brookheimer sat next to Director Cass and naturally heard his muttering, but his eyes were always staring at the monitor screen: Matthew Horner can really surprise people.

When the filming of "Black Hawk Down", he was the actor with the highest military literacy in the crew. Now this sword fighting is really flexible, with sword shadows as bright as flowers and as fast as the wind...

Especially after taking pictures with the camera lens, combined with Matthew Horner's agile posture, tough and handsome face and righteous expression, he gave him an indescribable feeling.

But he was sure that it was a feeling that made him excited.

He went to the filming scene of "Zorro's Mask". Just watching Matthew Horner's fancy fighting swordsmanship, let alone Antonio Banderas who played Zorro, even the stunt actor who served as Antonio Banderas' swordsmanship stand-in was far from Matthew Horner in front of the camera.

Jerry Brookheimer was experienced and immediately thought of the film being prepared, which could be a selling point of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Matthew Horner was originally in good condition and had such beautiful skills, which would definitely be helpful for a pure commercial entertainment movie.

The question is whether his literary drama and acting skills will be too suppressed by Johnny Depp?

Immediately, Jerry Brookheimer shook his head and smiled. The character's setting is a handsome and skilled swordsman, and his acting skills are not the primary factor. Moreover, Matthew Horner's performance in literary dramas is not very bad. The two sides have worked together once. Most of the time, Matthew Horner's acting skills are online.

There are many actors with online acting skills and good appearance conditions in Hollywood, but there are very few who practice sword fighting so beautifully.

In the monitor screen, Matthew Horner stopped, Jerry Brookheimer looked up and looked at the familiar actor, thinking in his mind that judging from the situation in "Black Hawk Down" and the promotional situation, if Matthew Horner is used, the risk should not be great, but the selling point can increase.

He asked, "Matthew, have you practiced sword fighting?"

Hearing Jerry Brookheimer's question, Matthew hurriedly said, "I have practiced European fencing for a while. At that time, I thought the coach was beautiful, so I practiced it."

"I remember you practiced boxing?" Jerry Brookheimer confirmed that he remembered correctly, and said, "You have a wide range of interests."

Matthew said with a smile, "I am naturally active and can't be quiet."

Jerry Brookheimer nodded, "Well, I remember when you were filming "Black Hawk Down", you were still working out on the set."

Next to it, Director Cass listened to the chatty conversation between Jerry Brookheimer and Matthew, and knew that his boss might be the actor from the Angel Agency.

This young actor has outstanding advantages. If the person who decides is himself, I'm afraid he will choose him, right?

Jerry Brookheimer ended the chat-style conversation with Matthew, and said, "You have got the character script, talk about Will Turner."

Matthew could see that Jerry Brookheimer was a little moved, but this understanding of the role is also very important. If the character in the actor's cognition is too far from the setting of the film, it will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and it is not impossible to be directly eliminated.

Fortunately, he had watched the series of trilogies and had a more comprehensive understanding of Will Turner. He immediately said, "Will Turner is an upright and kind young man; loyal to love and dedicated. He was involved in a pirate adventure because of Captain Jack Sparrow..."

Matthew recalled a little, and said, "He was a little dull at first, but he was growing. Will was serious and loyal. Later, he suddenly realized that he had begun an adventure that was both exciting and dangerous. For Will, it was an experience in growth."

Jerry Brookheimer looked at Matthew without saying anything, but from his words it seemed as if he could see a flesh-and-blood image.

"Will grew up in a lack of fatherly love, so he had to take the people around him as role models." Matthew said while thinking about the character script he saw, "his role model at Harbour Royal is those naval officers. When Will and Jack got together, Jack let Will know how to be a man. He made him understand that he could not blindly believe in certain stupid rules. A man must make his own decisions and should pursue what he wants in life."

Matthew stopped and looked at Jerry Brookheimer, who said, "It's OK."

Director Cass next to him immediately answered, "Mr. Matthew Horner, your audition ends here, and we will notify you of the audition results within this week."

"Okay." Matthew put away his sword and performed another British gentleman's greeting, and said in the British emphasis, "Thank you."

From entering the audition room, he spoke all this accent, Will Turner set it as a descendant of the British.

Watching Matthew leave the audition room, Director Cass said to Jerry Brookheimer, "I think Matthew Horner is good."

"Don't worry," Jerry Brookheimer thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it when all the auditions are completed."
Chapter completed!
