Chapter 504 The Pirates Are Here

The original "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" had a very problematic script.

There is no problem with the character setting of "Double male lead and single female lead". The problem is that the setting of the hero Johnny Depp is too prominent. This is by no means a problem of acting skills, but a problem of the three-dimensional structure of the characters.

As a result, the existence of the supporting actor and heroine is not strong, and the whole film has become a one-man show of "Captain Jack".

This has led to the fact that the entire "Pirates" series of movies must closely revolve around "Captain Jack" and cannot fully build the world frame.

This is the biggest difference between the "Pirates" series and the "Star Wars" series.

The "Star Wars" series is based on the opera space, telling the story of a group of Jedi knights in the universe and planets. Without anyone, it can be full of imagination.

The "Pirates" series is based on fantasy pirates, but because of the limitations of the title "Pirates of the Caribbean", the background of the entire series can only be placed in the Caribbean region. Moreover, the film tells the legend of "Captain Jack" alone, which is even more troublesome.

If Johnny Depp flops, the entire Pirates franchise is over. This is the reason for the serious decline in the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" in the previous life. Once Johnny Depp is out of breath, the entire series will be buried with him.

Now, the original "Pirates of the Caribbean" series has been transformed by Dunn into the "Pirates Alliance" series. Of course, it is impossible for him to repeat the tragedy of Disney in his previous life.

In terms of actors, Dunn has strict restrictions on Johnny Depp.

Good acting is an advantage, but you can't suppress other actors too much, you need to balance the roles. "Pirate Alliance: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is a commercial film, not an award-winning film built around a certain actor, which is fundamentally different.

Just in case, Dunn also invited the big director Tim Burton to take the shots, and through his powerful scheduling and prestige, he suppressed Johnny Depp.

The director Gore Verbinski in the original film is a little-known newcomer. Can a director of this level suppress the eccentric Johnny Depp?

Tim Burton doesn't have this problem.

On the other hand, Dunn made significant changes to the framework of the script.

While maintaining the adventurous spirit and leadership of "Captain Jack", we must increase the importance and presence of the supporting actor "Will Turner", making him another highlight and key character of the film!

In the new plot, Captain Barbossa, the undead skeleton, led the "Black Pearl" to be more reckless in the Caribbean Sea, burning, killing and looting.

If Captain Jack wants to take back the "Black Pearl", he must find the legendary treasure - "The Elegy of the Darkest Ocean"!

Only this legendary treasure of the pirate world can destroy Captain Barbossa, the incarnation of evil.

The two parties met in a small town in Port Royal.

Captain Barbossa captured the Governor's daughter, Elizabeth Swan, and Elizabeth's childhood sweetheart, blacksmith apprentice Will Turner. The swordsmanship was passed down from family to family and went to rescue.

It happened that Captain Jack and Will Turner met here. After a fight, Captain Barbossa was beaten by Will Turner's swordsmanship without any temper. Although the legendary "Elegy of the Darkest Ocean" was not found, Captain Jack was also shocked by Will Turner's swordsmanship, and decided to take a risk, go out to sea hand in hand, rescue Elizabeth, and retrieve the "Black Pearl"!

After the joint efforts of both parties, Elizabeth was finally rescued, but they faced even greater challenges. The evil-possessed Barbossa ship was simply difficult to contend with.

At the critical moment, Will Turner remembered the words of his father before his death, the "Sword of Slaying Evil" handed down in his hand, when the golden sword came out, the light shone throughout the dark Caribbean!

Only then did Captain Jack know that the legendary "Elegy of the Darkest Ocean" was the "Sword of Slaying Evil" in the hands of Will Turner.

Although the three were very weak, with the help of the "Sword of Slaying Evil", they finally defeated Captain Barbossa, took back the pirate ship Black Pearl, and restored peace to the Caribbean Sea.

And the defeated Captain Barbossa did not die. He looked coldly at the three people who had left the Black Pearl pirate ship, with the flame of vengeance in his eyes, and began to look for more powerful evil spirits...

"Next, where are we going?"

On the Black Pearl pirate ship, Captain Jack, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swan lie on the bow, bathed in the Caribbean sun.

Will Turner said slowly: "I finally understand the meaning of what my father said before his death. I am a descendant of William Turner, the greatest heroic adventurer two hundred years ago, and I want to continue writing the Turner family. brilliance!"

Elizabeth Swan had been secretly in love with Will Turner, and she was very happy to see that her sweetheart had such an ambition, "That's great, I'm still worried that you will be a blacksmith for the rest of your life!"

At this time, Will Turner uttered the condensed sentence of his entire character, "Justice is the mission!"

Elizabeth Swan's eyes were full of admiration and surprise, "I'll go too!"

"No, it's too dangerous!"

"What are you afraid of, Jack will take us."

"Me?" Captain Jack pinched an orchid finger and said in a weird tone, "I only long for a free and easy way of life. Huh? What is that?"

Suddenly, a black storm visible to the naked eye rose on the coastline in the distance.

Captain Jack's expression suddenly changed, and he muttered, "One wave has not settled, and another wave..."

At this point, the film came to an end.

The cinematography moves from near to far, and finally becomes the entire Caribbean.

This is the first time for everyone to watch an imax movie. The shock brought by the giant screen made everyone in the scene indulge in it.

"Pirate Alliance: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is an action-adventure film, which is also mixed with the most popular fantasy elements. With the configuration of top-level special effects, the whole film is very beautifully created.

The transcendent visual effects give people a strong immersive feeling, and the "adventure journey" in this atmosphere is far more fascinating than ordinary theaters.

In particular, when Captain Barbossa's evil body came out, forming a shadow of an evil spirit that was several hundred meters tall, covering the entire Caribbean Sea, the evil spirit was released, and the sense of terror was horrifying;

At the juncture of life and death, Will Turner finally understood the words of his father when he was dying, and sacrificed the "Sword of Slaying Evil". Feel.

After the film was over, all the guests stood up and applauded warmly.

A tribute to the first imax blockbuster in history!

Dunn also stood up and shook hands with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Ann Lee, Roland Emmerich and others around him.

Roland Emmerich said excitedly: "Don, no matter what, "The Day After Tomorrow" will be released in imax format! I don't know if this kind of giant-screen film is the future direction of the film, but it is definitely the future The main direction of special effects blockbusters!"

Tang En smiled, "Of course, every major commercial production of Tang En Pictures will be converted into imax format in the future."

The imax company is his, and he must find ways to promote the imax movies.

Even if the imax digital projector has not yet been developed, converting it into a film version of the imax copy will cost a lot, but it is also worth the cost. This is an up-front investment.

Spielberg said: "It can mainly solve the problem of copy costs, and imax movies have a great future."

Tang En said: "As long as the theater chain can see the direction clearly, more imax theaters can be transformed. At that time, mass production can be used to amortize the cost, and even film copies can be profitable. As long as there are 2,000 imax theaters in the United States , you can guarantee a film copy of the imax film, and the cost will be reduced to less than $20,000.”

Spielberg nodded. "A $20,000 copy...compared to the high price of the imax format, it's definitely worth it."

George Lucas, who had been pondering for a long time next to him, smiled slightly, "It depends on the sales of this film. Haha, if the imax theater can be sold out and has a good reputation, presumably those theater lines do not need us to promote, we must take the initiative. The imax theater has been expanded and rebuilt."

Dunn glanced at him, "Don't you think the effect of this film is not good?"

"Okay! Very good!" George Lucas first sighed and then showed a bit of a weird expression, "But how do I feel... The story background of this film is to imitate the planet Suspicion of the war? Isn't that sword of slaying evil the lightsaber in the hands of the Jedi knight?"

Tang En laughed a few times, "George, you are really joking! There is only one sword of slaying evil, but there are many lightsabers for Jedi knights. This is a different setting."

George Lucas is very disapproving, "You can have one sword of killing evil, but you can also have sword of killing evil, spear of killing evil, dagger of killing evil, etc. It can be easily expanded, and then like a Jedi Knight. , form a team.”

Tang En looked at him with a half-smile, "George, you didn't do it on purpose, did you?"

"Um?"

"It's not because the box office of "Star Wars Episode 2" was greatly surpassed by "Spider-Man 2", you are not in a good mood?"

George Lucas gasped: "This has nothing to do with the box office!"

Dunn laughed carelessly.

On July 1, "Pirates League: The Curse of the Black Pearl" completed its premiere in Los Angeles. The whole premiere was very sensational, star-studded and big-name gathered.

On this day, the entertainment focus of almost the United States is on this epoch-making imax film.

On the same day, the famous French magazine "New Observation" made an important selection. The most powerful person in 2001 and 2002 was placed on the head of Vivendi's CEO Jean Messier!

This is an affirmation for Messier!

It seems that Messier is determined to play the platoon of national sentiment to consolidate his position.

It's just Messier's out-of-the-box move, will the shareholders sit idly by?

There is a good show to watch!
