Chatty Hollywood

? “We succeeded!”

Standing in the Disney office, Philip Biermann, who had stayed up all night, shouted excitedly to his staff.

And his subordinates also threw various reports in their hands into the air to vent their excitement.

There is no way, because "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a huge trilogy project, Philip Biermann and his team are under a lot of pressure within Disney.

——Even though the partner is Charlotte Booth, a super director who has never failed, and Disney Pictures Chairman Robert Iger also fully supports it, this is a super big project after all.

Anyway, as long as "Pirates of the Caribbean" fails, Philip can leave the film industry.

Therefore, even if it is not Philip who is really under pressure, he is not having an easy time these days.

In particular, after "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" was revised again, a large part of the publicity work was done by Philip Biermann and his men.

This naturally made them more nervous.

Fortunately, "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", like Charlotte Booth's previous movies, has achieved great success.

——No, it should be said to be better! !

After all, it broke the midnight box office record on the first night it was released, which is definitely an exaggeration.

Generally speaking, the ones with the highest box office at midnight are usually the sequels of some blockbusters, but "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is an out-and-out original movie.

"Perhaps since the global box office of "Sherlock Holmes" exceeded the billion-dollar mark, Charlotte Booth's box office appeal has increased again!"

Philip Biermann feels that every movie in Charlotte has a sequel effect.

Of course, this is a good thing for Philip today...

**********

In fact, it was not just Disney people who were celebrating, even Charlotte herself was stunned when she saw the exaggerated midnight box office after getting up in the morning.

Then, of course, it was his regular way of celebrating.

——Although his wife Charlize sometimes claims to be cold,

However, under Charlotte's offensive, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is passionate...

In short, by the time the "celebration" was over, it was already afternoon, and many movie reviews about "Pirates of the Caribbean" had already come out——

Among them, the vast majority were praised.

After all, the quality of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is indeed high, and Disney's publicity staff are not idle...

However, Charlotte was not very interested in general compliments. Instead, a film review by Derek Icker in Empire magazine made Charlotte find it interesting——

"Actually, I didn't want to give a positive review before "Pirates of the Caribbean" was officially released!"

Charlize leaned in Charlotte's arms and read this film review to her husband,

"It's not that I'm deliberately looking for trouble. In fact, I have already watched the movie at the previous internal preview of "Pirates of the Caribbean."

"By the standards of general commercial films, it is indeed quite good, but compared to Charlotte Booth's previous films, this film does not feel like it is a cut above the rest."

"At least it's not beyond the level of Sherlock Holmes."

"While stylistically, Pirates of the Caribbean has a very unique style because of Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow, in terms of narrative and pacing, Charlotte Booth's performance on this film , but not as perfect as in Sherlock Holmes."

"——Compared with the innovative narrative and reasoning methods in "Detective Sherlock Holmes", "Pirates of the Caribbean" is relatively mediocre in this regard."

"Okay, I admit that this may be a bit harsh. However, when faced with a genius who is always creating miracles, film critics will be somewhat harsh."

"So, my lack of praise is relative to Charlotte Booth's own level."

"However, after watching the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean" last night, I overturned my thoughts——"

"Charlotte Booth once again sped up the pace of the early stages of the movie to enhance the special effects scenes."

"Then his special effects scenes don't stand alone - they're perfectly integrated into the narrative."

"In this regard, even Charlotte Booth's previous films have failed to achieve this. But this time, he did it perfectly."

"It makes me want to praise him."

"You know, compared to those special effects that are made purely for the scene, this kind of special effects that are perfectly integrated with the narrative is really eye-catching..."

At this point, Charlize stopped.

"I remember that Derek never really liked your movies, right?"

The girl leaning on Charlotte's chest looked up and asked,

"He said it so nicely this time. Has he finally changed his stance?"

"That shouldn't happen!"

Charlotte shook her head;

"I guess some of the final changes I made to "Pirates of the Caribbean" this time are in line with the tastes of film critics!"

"Like when I acted ugly in The Devil Wears Prada?"

"Roughly the same!"

Charlotte nodded,

"Although my revision this time is not for them, film critics... are always a little self-righteous."

"..."

Although what Charlotte said was very rude, Charlize had to admit that what he said did make sense.

*******

In contrast, Jenny, who played the heroine for the first time, was not as calm and composed as Charlotte.

This girl barely managed to fall asleep yesterday after tossing half the food. After seeing the midnight box office results today, she started reading various movie reviews——

According to Jenny's agent, with this kind of box office performance, the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is inevitable, and Jenny only needs to focus on how much benefit she can get from it.

Fortunately, although the most eye-catching movie is Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Night have received a lot of praise——

"Compared to the casual, funny and unique Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner's style looks very upright. However, when he gets along with Captain Jack Sparrow, he always gives people the feeling of a cold-faced smiler - —In a way, this is more interesting than purely funny.”

Richard Manson, who has always been good at evaluating actors’ acting skills, commented in an article,

"As a newcomer, Jenny, who plays Elizabeth, is also amazing - Elizabeth exudes a charming quirkiness and wild charm."

"And the most rare thing is the spark she exudes when she gets along with Will Turner and Captain Jack Sparrow."

"Although according to the plot, this is not a love triangle story, but -"
