Chatty Hollywood

? “This will definitely become a classic of multi-line narrative movies!”

In the screening room, Johnny Depp muttered to himself.

It’s not like he hasn’t participated in previous internal previews of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2.”

However, because Charlotte revised it over and over again, it was impossible for most of the creative staff, including Depp, to see what he had revised over and over again.

——Everyone is very busy!

Moreover, in Depp's opinion, the version at the first preview screening was actually quite good.

Therefore, he did not attend the next few preview screenings.

Therefore, when he saw the released version of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" that Charlotte had revised several times and was finally satisfied with, he was shocked.

"Phoenix, you have been following Director Charlotte. Do you know how this movie has undergone such a dramatic change?"

He asked his friend River Phoenix who was sitting next to him.

——Of course, River’s external identity is Phoenix Retton, the rising star who plays Will Turner.

——This is why Depp did not directly call him "Rifan".

Ruifan shook his head and whispered to Depp,

"Although I, as a ghost, often do things for him, I don't always follow him - that's Alexis' job."

"Well, it seems that even if they become ghosts, there are still differences between men and women!"

Depp stuck out his tongue,

"So, as a man among ghosts, what exactly do you think of the man over there?"

——The person he was talking about over there was Jenny, who played Elizabeth Swann in the movie.

——That is, Alexis’ sister in real life.

Because the Charlotte version of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is a three-part series, the three leading actors have been together day and night for more than half a year, and have experienced "shipwrecks" together, so their friendship is quite good.

——Of course, this is Ruifan’s opinion.

In the view of Ruifan’s good gay friend Depp,

There is some "female love" between Ruifan and Jenny.

——That’s why he said this to Ruifan.

In response, Ruifan gave a wry smile.

Although Charlotte once told him that as long as he was willing, the other party could help him bridge the gap between humans and ghosts and have an "unresolved love between humans and ghosts."

But in the final analysis, Ruifan doesn't think he is such an emotional person.

Moreover, Jenny is not——

Ruifan, who had been in Hollywood both before and after his death, could tell that she was a good girl, but very career-minded.

Just like those career-minded Hollywood actresses, Jenny may have a slight affection for him, but it will never affect her career development.

And in Hollywood, where there are countless temptations and frequent separations, how long can such good feelings last?

Especially Ruifan himself is a ghost...

Anyway, after the filming of the previous "Pirates of the Caribbean" series ended, River and Jenny had not met a few times in total.

——The two of them had neither the time nor the inclination to further develop and sublimate their vague good feelings.

In fact, if the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" hadn't required the entire crew to be present for promotion, then Riveran wouldn't know when he would be able to see Jenny again...

"Well, this is your own business after all!"

Seeing his good friend acting so sincerely, Depp didn't say anything.

Having said that, his appearance when facing Winona was probably more exaggerated - after all, the words "Winona Forever" are still tattooed on his body.

"If Director Charlotte hadn't been there to help pull the strings...wait a minute!"

Depp suddenly felt that he had thought of a suitable person to help...

*********

Compared to Depp, Lillian is much more serious about watching movies.

——She finally came.

Moreover, in order to avoid being harassed by tabloid reporters, she used magic to slightly change her appearance.

——Although it's not as good as Charlotte's Evil God Disguise, demons can still change their appearance, but it's just not long-lasting enough.

Just like now——

Because she was completely attracted by the fast-paced and multi-line narrative of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the spell she cast had unknowingly failed.

Fortunately, everyone else sitting next to her was also immersed in the movie, and no one noticed the change in her appearance.

Especially when several story lines in the movie finally come together and Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Commodore Noddington begin to fight for the box containing the heart of Octopus-head Captain Davy Jones, the movie's appeal rises again reached a height.

And when the Black Pearl finally faced the giant octopus-like Kraken, the time Charlotte had worked so hard to speed up the progress of the movie was finally utilized to the maximum extent——

This version of the scene where the crew of the Black Pearl fights against the Kraken has far better visual effects than the version in Charlotte's original time and space.

Charlotte made full use of the principle of relative lenses and shot a large number of visually impactful shots.

Many viewers in front of the big screen even had the illusion that the huge tentacles of the Kraken were rolling towards them.

"This confusing sense of reality is almost like a spell!"

The snake demon Lilian sighed in relief.

*********

Of course, no matter how wonderful the story is, it will eventually come to an end——

After shooting and hitting the explosives, thus severely injuring the Kraken, Captain Jack, who originally wanted to escape but eventually returned, finally gave the order to abandon ship.

But he himself, in a rare act of bravery, decided to stay behind and face the North Sea monster alone.

——Here, Charlotte finally gave up the original plot of Elizabeth deceiving Captain Jack with a kiss in time and space.

Some literary and artistic people may think this is a manifestation of human nature, but in Charlotte's view, this is a bloody act that disgusts the audience.

Especially at the climax of the movie.

When this kind of twist occurs, it will give people the feeling of meeting a beautiful girl in a bar, then entering the hotel, everything is ready, only to see that the thing between her legs is bigger than you.

——What a mess!

I'm afraid this is the only word that can describe this feeling.

As a director who is closer to the audience, Charlotte is not prepared to die like this——

He asked Will Turner and Elizabeth to find opportunities to hint to Captain Jack at the end that they had realized that what Captain Davy Jones was chasing was not actually the crew of the Black Pearl, but just Jack. .

However, out of friendship, they chose to bear the burden with Jack.

And this friendship, in turn, influenced Jack, making him finally become a hero and make the decision to sacrifice himself to save everyone.

And this is also in line with the Western tradition that the captain will always sink with the ship.

Therefore, the audience will only feel that at the end of the movie, the three protagonists who have been in constant disputes finally understand each other.

The character's personality was also sublimated at the last moment.

Then, the crew of the Black Pearl, who had lost Captain Jack, had a solid reason to rescue Jack, who was captured and taken to the end of the world...
