Chapter 817: critical eye
A simple but rich and interesting story, which brings out the charm of the captain. If the plot is too rough or even chaotic, the audience won't buy it without waiting for the captain's charm to play out. "Teddy Bell's thoughts on the work are completely in line with Evan Bell, and he can fully understand Evan Bell's nitpicking and requirements for the work. "A movie, if only relying on the charm of the protagonist to attract the audience , then even if it achieves good results at the box office, it is bound to be a tragedy in word of mouth. "
Jerry Bruckheimer opened his mouth and tried to argue some more, but Teddy Bell didn't give him a chance, and went on to say that although there was no violent expression on this honest and honest face, there was a hint of violence in those eyes. The pressing momentum did not give in, "Look at the story you gave me just now, the characters are chaotic and intricate, for an inexplicable treasure, a group of people appear on the stage, and finally the story becomes anticlimactic, such an empty story can even be a fifth-grade elementary school student. Telling. Without the special effects, without the Captain's charisma, this movie would be nothing to watch!"
The battle-hardened Jerry Bruckheimer did not show weakness when confronted by Teddy Bell's aggressive questioning, "A commercial movie, in addition to special effects, in addition to the charm of the characters, what would you like to see? If you want to Watch a great story, and you can choose to watch a drama!"
In fact, Jerry Bruckheimer's words could not have been more correct, but he was facing the stubborn Bell brothers.
"If a commercial movie can't tell a basic story in addition to special effects, and the relationship between the characters is messed up, people will be confused, then the audience will never buy it. You are the audience now. Fool?" Teddy Bell lowered his voice a little, but his voice was very thick, but it made the sense of heaviness more vivid, "Think about 'King Arthur, the war scene is grand enough, and the story is based on history? , but why did it fail at the box office? No one would pay for a movie like this just because the story was a mess, and a wonderful piece of history was adapted so nondescriptly!"
The mention of "King Arthur" immediately touched the scars of Jerry Bruckheimer. This commercial blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars was completely lost. Even with the overseas box office, it still failed to achieve capital preservation. The scolding put Jerry Bruckheimer under tremendous pressure.
Jerry Bruckheimer also got angry, "Then according to you, 'Spider-Man, the box office is fake?' Pirates of the Caribbean, is the first result also a decoration?" I don't care what others do Look, if the script for the sequel doesn't have a full story, I definitely wouldn't agree to take this script! Jerry Bruckheimer was stunned by Teddy Bell's words.
Jerry Bruckheimer originally thought that Teddy Bell's insistence today was just to bargain, because the current Evan Bell's salary is not what it used to be, no 20 million is absolutely impossible to win, and 2,500 It is not impossible to get the first highest salary in the United States of $10,000. But I didn't expect that Teddy Bell didn't talk about remuneration, box office dividends and other treatment, just read the draft script, and started a dispute that would never give in, and even threatened to launch a sequel because the script was not good enough.
Jerry Bruckheimer is well aware that Evan Bell's importance to "Pirates of the Caribbean" is basically irreplaceable. But in the film industry, no one is irreplaceable. Toby Maguire, who became popular with "Spider-Man", put forward new demands on his treatment before the start of the sequel. The request from his agent was $25 million in remuneration or profit from the movie. 10%, this request was directly rejected by Sony Columbia Pictures, they even prepared to give up Tobey Maguire, thus contacting Jake Gyllenhaal, at the last moment, Tobey Maguire compromised , so this is the "Spider-Man's original crew to shoot.
What Jerry Bruckheimer needs to weigh is whether to continue to be tough today and break up with one shot; or leave a little leeway; or choose to compromise... In fact, Jerry Bruckheimer knew that the script was too much Rough, but from Evan Bell's original sculpting of the character of Captain Jack Sparrow, we can see his requirements for the quality of the script, so Jerry Bruckheimer decided to reserve a little leeway after considering it.
As a result, Jerry Bruckheimer said that the script will definitely be perfected, and after the script is further completed, they will meet to discuss cooperation.
However, Teddy Bell is not a fledgling child. He knows that the unpleasant interview today will inevitably have an impact on the preparations for "Pirates of the Caribbean. Jerry Bruckheimer has a superficial set, but he is not sure which set it is in the back." .

Teddy Bell has had a very busy day. He first met Tony Nadal in the morning, then met with the Magic Red band who came to New York from Los Angeles, and then he attended three company meetings. It was time to have dinner with Jerry Bruckheimer, and there was no free time at all.
With the help of Eleven's agent, the commercial contract between Rafael Nadal and Nike was successfully renewed for two years and received a good sponsorship. Under Tony Nadal's trade-off, they signed a brokerage contract with Eleven's agent, and Rafael Nadal became the first athlete under Eleven's agent. Of course, this signing did not attract any media attention, because Rafael Nadal, who is now recovering from injury, can basically be said to have no media attention.
After Evan Bell contacted the Reds, the Reds met with Sean Mayer in Los Angeles the next day. After Shaun-Mayer negotiated with the Magic Red Band head-on, they signed the Magic Red Band to the name of Eleven's agent. Because the headquarters of Eleven's creation is now in New York, the Magic Red Band came to New York. Teddy Bell held two conference calls with Sean Mayer and Claire Days to develop detailed plans for how to promote the album "Songs for Jane." Today Teddy Bell met with the Magic Red, mainly to make some arrangements for their life in New York.
After the Magic Red Band arrived in New York, they met the members of Eleven Creation, which was very uncomfortable for Adam Livy and others, because they were used to being alone over the years, accustomed to being alone, and now they are around Suddenly there are more colleagues who are fighting for their dreams, which makes the band members a little overwhelmed. However, Teddy Bell is not worried, they will find a way to cooperate.
As for the evening meeting, Teddy Bell remained in a brooding state until after returning home.
Jerry Bruckheimer contacted Teddy Bell once in early June. As expected, after a year of preparation, Disney finally decided to put the sequel of "Pirates of the Caribbean" on the schedule. He needs Check out Evan Bell's schedule for the next year. At that time, Evan Bell hadn't met with Ang Lee, and the "Brokeback Mountain" matter was not settled, so Evan Bell had no arrangements for the second half of the year, which made Jerry Bruckheimer feel at ease.
Today, Jerry Bruckheimer and Teddy Bell have dinner together to talk more about the "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel. However, the conversation was obviously not very pleasant.
"Jerry, don't you know Evan's requirements for the script?" Teddy Bell looked at the draft script in front of him, because it was only a draft, so it was only three pages, and Teddy Bell spent less than I finished reading it in ten minutes, but even so, Teddy Bell's face immediately fell when he saw this script.
Jerry Bruckheimer didn't seem to care about Teddy Bell's questioning. He smiled and said, "Teddy. What frame is a commercial blockbuster? Don't you know? Some movies need a story, like' Public Enemy Mechanical; but some movies don't need a story, such as 'Spider-Man.' Pirates of the Caribbean, such a movie belongs to the latter, relying on the charm of Captain Jack Sparrow, enough to support the whole movie ."
Before today's meeting, Jerry Bruckheimer had anticipated the possibility of this happening, which is why he found Teddy Bell instead of Evan Bell: everyone knows that Evan Bell is The sharp-edged thorns never cared about who the other party was. So, for Teddy Bell's reaction~www.wuxiaspot.com~Jerry Bruckheimer has prepared the corresponding words, "Is anyone paying attention to the importance of the story? No. So, I think what we need is An adventure story full of suspense, enriching the film, and then creating large scenes and special effects, allowing the audience to enjoy a visual feast, and at the same time feel the charm of the captain, which is enough to constitute a successful commercial blockbuster."
Jerry Bruckheimer, as one of the most successful producers in the United States at present, his majesty and posture, as early as when Evan Bell first interviewed for "Pirates of the Caribbean", Teddy Bell had seen it, But Evan Bell, who had not yet achieved today's results, didn't care, and Teddy Bell naturally wouldn't care today.
So, for Jerry Bruckheimer's courtesy, Teddy Bell does not buy it.
"Jerry, what kind of results do you think a movie that relies on the charm of the protagonist to attract the audience?" Teddy Bell directly retorted, "'Pirates of the Caribbean, the success of the first film is just Evan's. Charismatic?" Teddy Bell's aura made Jerry Bruckheimer not give an answer right away, he just looked into Teddy Bell's eyes with a thousand thoughts in his heart. Dealing with the Bell brothers has always been a headache.
"In addition to the captain's personal charm, the content is complete, and the adventure journey is full of thorns, one! .
