Chapter 298: The Captain's Grandmother
What is this like, a drug-addicted sissy?
Tracy Jacob almost couldn't help but say what was in his heart, but finally closed his mouth, he had been persuaded before, but Johnny Depp cared so much about and liked the character that he couldn't listen to it at all.
Forcing Johnny Depp to give up can only bring a rift between the two.
But Tracy Jacob didn't do nothing, and after Johnny Depp shook his way away, he whispered to Ronan: "Is this really good?
Ronan glanced at Tracy Jacob and said calmly: "Very good! Depp's understanding of this role is much better than I expected!"
"What?" Tracy Jacob was a little surprised.
Ronan didn't say anything more to Tracy Jacobdo, and once again said to Johnny Depp, "Depp, you're doing a great job! ”
In a previous life, someone once commented on Captain Jack Sparrow - crazy and funny bewitching slut!
It's not a disparagement, it's a compliment!
Johnny Depp suddenly stopped, turned around, pinched his orchid finger, and said to Ronan, "I have another idea?"
Ronan looked at him, "Just say." ”
From the very beginning, Johnny Depp was invited, leaving him enough room to perform.
Johnny Depp bared his teeth and pointed to the snow-white teeth: "Would it be better to have a few gold teeth inlaid with it?" ”
Does Captain Jack have gold teeth?Ronan recalled, as if he had forgotten about it, walked over and circled Depp, and said, "That's a good idea." ”
He accentuated: "Depp, I find you too suitable for this role." ”
Hearing this, Tracy Jacob couldn't help but complain in his heart: Didn't Hugh Jackman say that he was the most suitable actor candidate?
She looked at Ronan and Johnny Depp in a heated discussion, and had a feeling: Johnny Depp, an old madman, didn't he meet a young little madman?
You know, there are too few people who can have a common language with Johnny Depp.
Tim Burton, Hollywood's famous ghost-possessed director, Raven Phoenix, who took drugs to suck himself to death, and Keanu Reeves, a star who tosses himself into a homeless man......
Forget it, she can't control the affairs between madmen and madmen, and she doesn't want to care.
Johnny Depp pinched his orchid fingers, twisted his waist, and said to Ronan in the tone of a pirate captain: "Hollywood's protagonists are too stereotyped and formatted. ”
Ronan nodded and said, "Traditional pirate movies have long been outdated, and it is difficult for ordinary pirate captains to arouse the audience's interest, so I set Captain Jack as a hero or madman who the audience has never seen and is unpredictable. ”
"Yes, that's what I thought. Johnny Depp further said: "I don't think anything will ever change for him, he is like that. Usually people look for a character when looking for their character arcs, and Captain Jack doesn't go in any direction. ”
Such an answer is too unreasonable, but this kind of answer, isn't it Captain Jack?
Ronan thinks too Captain Jack, too Depp.
Johnny Depp continued: "After studying the script and character setting, I felt that Captain Jack was the kind of person who was driven by instinct, eating and sleeping whenever he wanted, and drinking when he wanted to drink. He is not the kind of character who seeks self-redemption, or who thinks deeply about his own existence. He doesn't have too many desires, he doesn't have too many weaknesses, he just wants the process, and you can't tempt him with any result. ”
"Depp, create this character according to your ideas. "Since Ronan became a producer, there has never been such a degree of freedom from the crew.
Johnny Depp made a strange salute: "As you wish." ”
It seems that he has entered the state of Jack Sparrow.
Ronan watched Johnny Depp continue to refine some of Captain Jack's behavioral expressions, and couldn't help but sigh: Everyone said that Depp was born for Edward, but in fact, Depp was born for Jack Sparrow.
When Johnny Depp meets Jack Sparrow, Mars crashes into Earth!
At the end of the afternoon makeup try-on, both Ronan and Johnny Depp were satisfied.
The next day, Ronan was in the studio of Warner Studios and discussed the possibility of cooperation with a person in charge of Dark Horse Comics.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" is an inevitable series of movies, in addition to the movie itself, there are many places that can be profitable around, and the surrounding areas can also promote the movie series in turn.
Ronan plans to cooperate with Dark Horse Comics, and after the release of the movie, he will release a drawing board or comic book for "Caribbean Comics" to effectively complement Captain Jack Sparrow's cinematic journey with a more complete story.
From the very beginning of writing the script, Ronan put forward the requirements of the trilogy story to the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment, and also gave a simple story outline, and the screenwriting department in addition to continuing to write the scripts of the next two movies, is also writing a larger Pirates of the Caribbean story.
Ronan's plan is to launch and comics, just like the Star Wars series, with more story expansion and explanation.
After all, the movie is limited in length, and many things cannot be explained one by one.
At present, the screenwriting department has written a lot of story paragraphs.
For example, the friendship between Captain Jack and Davy Jones.
These cannot be explained in detail in the movie, but there will be detailed descriptions in the related peripheral works that are ready to cooperate with Dark Horse Comics.
Captain Jack had earlier worked under the East India Trading Company's Coulette-Beckett in exchange for Beckett giving him a ship.
Beckett asks Captain Jack to transport the slaves, but Jack lets them go. Beckett then set fire to the entire ship, and when he was dying, Jack summoned Davy Jones and made a quid pro quo that would be 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 sees Jack Sparrow as a pirate captain with a case, and may intuitively think that Captain Jack is wanted for pirate robbery, but this is not the case.
Jack Sparrow initially maintained a fairly good relationship with the East India Trading Company, which was caused by his falling out with Beckett over slavery.
In addition, there is another important character who will appear in the 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 writers have only written an outline for this paragraph, but Ronan thinks it's not bad: Captain Jack's grandmother is also a female pirate herself, with a cruel and cold-blooded personality that often abuses her little grandson, and almost kills Jack several times. It is also because of this that Jack runs away from home and eventually becomes a pirate.
When the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie is a big success, Jack Sparrow's grandmother can be used as the main character to shoot a "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Of course, it has to be the San Fernando Valley version.
It will definitely be very selling and will be of interest to many fans.
It's Jack Sparrow's grandmother, after all!
Also, one of the things that will be told in these stories is that Jack Sparrow is the worst swordsman of all the main characters.
The captain's saber is basically just a good look, and when in danger, Jack's best strategy is always to run away!
Ronan provided an outline, but the screenwriters with a large screenwriting team effectively expanded the outline in the Hollywood team model.
For commercial films, this kind of assembly line team combat mode, whether it is efficiency or brain holes, far exceeds individual play.
Even, the writers spoofed the preparation for Jack Sparrow to connect with real people.
There was a young screenwriter who submitted a proposal to Ronan, and Benjamin Franklin's knowledge of electricity came from Captain Jack.
According to the screenwriter, Jack's name appears in history textbooks on the list of discoveries of electricity.
Like Washington, the vampire hunter, and the like, Ronan was also interested in having Captain Jack spoof the founding father or president of the United States, and agreed to the plan.
The screenwriter quickly wrote a little story: as a child, Jack told a little boy named "Benny" (Benjamin's nickname) a little trick about kites and keys, and as he grew up, Jack remembered the little trick he had taught him!
Ronan wasn't too satisfied, so he asked the screenwriter to rewrite and add Benny the Kite Man to the ranks of those who slapped Captain Jack.
Since October, the situation in North America has gradually improved, although the 911 incident will be like a scar, forever engraved on the body of this country and the public, but time is enough for people to forget for a while, until the pain of the wound completely dissipates, Hollywood's smarter people will not touch the content and themes related to the World Trade Center and the plane terror incident.
With the strong intervention of the Huashengda authorities, the social economy is gradually recovering, and even the stock market, which had plummeted before, has a slow upward trend.
It has to be said that the US market economy is perfect, the economic foundation is good, and it has a leading position in scientific and technological innovation, and the "911 incident" will not have much impact on the United States in the long run, still less will it destroy the US economy.
Of course, the insurance, aviation, tourism and other industries are more affected, and the negative impact will be eliminated for a long time.
In addition, there is a contrary voice - the role of the "rich economy".
Some believe that after this incident, the increase in government spending will boost the economy and end the original recession.
This view is, of course, too optimistic.
Ronan is well aware that it won't be long before the next economic crisis will appear.
With strong government intervention, the stock market is coming out of the doldrums, and it seems that everything is starting to move in a good direction.
However, in this short period of time, Ronan has already achieved his goal.
