Chapter 298： The captain's grandma

What does this look like, a drug-riding gun?

Tracy Jacobs could hardly help saying what was in his heart, but in the end he closed his mouth tightly. He had persuaded him before, but Johnny Depp cared and liked the character so much that he couldn't listen to it.

Forcing Johnny Depp to give up will only bring a rift between the two.

But Tracy Jacobs didn’t do nothing. After Johnny Depp shook a little further, he whispered to Ronan, "Is this really good? From a business perspective Very risky!"

Ronan glanced at Tracy Jacobs and said calmly: "Very good! Depp's understanding of this character is much better than I expected!"

"What?" Tracy Jacobs was a little surprised.

Ronan stopped talking to Tracy Jacobdo, and said to Johnny Depp again: "Depp, you did a great job! This is the crazy pirate captain I want."

In previous lives, someone once commented on Captain Jack Sparrow, a crazy and funny coquettish bitch!

This is not to belittle, but to praise!

Johnny Depp stopped abruptly, turned around, pinched the orchid finger, and said to Ronan, "I thought of another idea?"

Ronan looked at him: "Just say it."

Inviting Johnny Depp from the very beginning gave him plenty of performance space.

Johnny Depp barked his teeth and pointed to the snow-white teeth: "Will it be better to have a few gold teeth inlay?"

Does Captain Jack have gold teeth? Ronan recalled it, and it seemed that he had forgotten the matter, walked over and circled Depp, and said, "This is a good idea."

He emphasized his tone: "Depp, I find you are too suitable for this role."

Hearing this, Tracy Jacobs couldn't help but complain: Isn't it that Hugh Jackman is the most suitable actor candidate?

She looked at Ronan and Johnny Depp in the heated discussion, and she had a feeling: Johnny Depp, an old madman, did he meet a young madman?

You know, there are too few people who can share a common language with Johnny Depp.

Tim Burton, the famous Hollywood director of ghost possession; Revan Phoenix, who sucked himself to death by taking drugs; Keanu Reeves, a star who turned himself into a tramp...

Forget it, she can't control and doesn't want to deal with the madman's affairs.

Johnny Depp squeezed orchid fingers, twisted his waist, and said to Ronan in the tone of a pirate captain: "The protagonist of Hollywood is too stereotyped and formatted."

Ronan nodded and said, "Traditional pirate movies have long been outdated. It is difficult for ordinary pirate captains to arouse the audience's interest, so I set Captain Jack to be an unpredictable hero or lunatic that the audience has never seen.

"Yes! This is what I think." Johnny Depp further said: "I think he will never change, he is like that. Usually people look for his character arc when observing a character, and Captain Jack It will not develop in any direction."

Such an answer is too unreasonable, but this answer is not Captain Jack?

Ronan thought it was too Captain Jack and too Depp.

Johnny Depp continued: "After studying the script and the character setting, I think Captain Jack is the kind of instinct-driven person, who eats and sleeps when he wants to eat, and drinks when he wants to drink. He is not the kind of seeking Self-salvation, or a role with deep thinking about self-existence. He does not have too many desires, and there are not too many weaknesses; as long as he is a process, you can't use any results to seduce him.

"Depp, shape this role as you want." Since Ronan became a producer, he has never had such a degree of freedom as a crew member.

Johnny Depp gave a strange salute: "As you wish."

It seems that he has entered Jack Sparrow's state.

Ronan watched Johnny Depp continue to improve some of Captain Jack's behavioral expressions, and couldn't help sighing: Before everyone said Depp was born for Edward, in fact Depp was born for Jack Sparrow.

When Johnny Depp met Jack Sparrow, Mars hit the earth!

At the end of the afternoon’s makeup try, both Ronan and Johnny Depp returned with satisfaction.

The next day, Ronan was in the crew office of Warner Studios again and interviewed a person in charge of Dark Horse Comics about the possibility of cooperation.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" is a film that must be serialized. In addition to the movie itself, there are many profitable places in the surrounding area, and the surrounding area can in turn promote the film series.

Ronan intends to cooperate with Dark Horse Comics and release the "Caribbean Comics" drawing board or comics after the movie is released, so as to effectively supplement Captain Jack Sparrow's film journey with a more complete story.

From the very beginning to create the script, Ronan put forward the requirements of the trilogy story to the screenwriter department of Shahai Entertainment, and then gave a simple story outline. In addition to continuing to write the scripts for the next two movies, the screenwriting department also Write a larger Pirates of the Caribbean story.

Ronan's plan is to launch and comics, just like the "Star Wars" series, to expand and explain more stories.

After all, the length of the movie is limited, and many things cannot be explained clearly.

At present, the screenwriting department has written many story paragraphs.

For example, the friendship between Captain Jack and David Jones.

It is impossible for these to be explained in detail in the movie, but there will be detailed descriptions in the related peripheral works that are going to cooperate with Dark Horse Comics.

Captain Jack worked in the hands of Kurlet-Beckert of the East India Trading Company in the early days. In exchange, Beckett would send him a ship.

Beckett asked Captain Jack to transport the slaves, but Jack released them privately. Beckett then set fire to the entire ship, and when he was dying, Jack summoned David Jones and made an exchange as mentioned in the movie.

Captain Jack was also charged with piracy for refusing to participate in the slave trade.

At the beginning of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, the audience saw Jack Sparrow already as a pirate captain with a case. Perhaps they would intuitively think that Captain Jack was wanted for pirate robbery, but this is not the case.

Jack Sparrow still maintained a pretty good relationship with the East India Trading Company at the beginning. The whole thing was because he and Beckett turned their faces for slavery.

In addition, there is an important character that will appear in comics or stories-Captain Jack's grandmother.

To put it simply, Jack was abused by his grandmother when he was a child and almost died.

The screenwriters have only written the outline of this paragraph so far, but Ronan thinks it is not bad: Captain Jack's grandmother is also a female pirate herself, cruel and cold-blooded to abuse her grandson, and almost killed Jack several times. It is also because of this that Jack ran away from home and eventually became a pirate.

Waiting for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie to be a big success, you can let Jack Sparrow's grandma as the protagonist, shooting a "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Of course, it must be the San Fernando Valley version.

It must be very selling point, and there will be many fans interested.

After all, it's Jack Sparrow's grandma!

Also, one thing will be explained in these stories, Jack Sparrow is the worst swordsman of all the main characters.

The saber on the captain's body is basically just a good-looking sword. When in danger, Jack's best policy is always to run away!

Ronan provided the outline, but many screenwriters from the screenwriting team have effectively expanded this outline under the Hollywood team model.

For commercial movies, this assembly line team combat model, both in efficiency and intellect, far exceeds individual performance.

Even the screenwriters are preparing to make Jack Sparrow connect with real characters.

A young screenwriter submitted a proposal to Ronan. Benjamin Franklin's knowledge of electricity came from Captain Jack.

According to the screenwriter, in the history textbook, Jack's name appeared on the list of electric discoveries.

Just like Washington DC, Vampire Hunter Lincoln, Ronan was also very interested in letting Captain Jack spoof the founding father or president of the United States, and agreed to this plan.

The screenwriter quickly wrote a short story: When he was a child, Jack once told a little boy named "Benny" (Benjamin’s nickname) that he had a trick about kites and keys; when he grew up, Jack still missed the little boy. I hope he remembers the little trick he taught him!

Ronan was not too satisfied and asked the screenwriter to rewrite, adding the kite boy Benny to the ranks of people who slapped Captain Jack.

Since October, the situation in North America has gradually improved. Although the 9/11 incident will be carved on the country and the public forever like a scar, it is time enough to be temporarily forgotten. Before the pain of the wound is completely dissipated, Hollywood compares Smart people will not touch the content and themes related to the World Trade Center and the terrorist incident of the plane.

With the strong intervention of the Huashengda authorities, the social economy is gradually recovering, and even the stock market, which has previously plummeted, has a slow upward trend.

I have to say The United States has a sound market economy, a sound economic foundation, and a leading position in technological innovation. In the long term, the "911 incident" will not have much impact on the United States, let alone destroy the US economy.

Of course, industries such as insurance, aviation, and tourism will be greatly affected, and the negative impact will take a long time to eliminate.

In addition, there is an opposite voice—the effect of "breaking the rich economy".

Some people believe that after this incident, the increase in government spending will boost the economy and end the original economic recession.

This view is certainly too optimistic.

Ronan knows very well that the next economic crisis will not take long.

With strong government intervention, the stock market is getting rid of its downturn, and everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

However, in this not a long time, Ronan has achieved his goal.
