In the subtitles, "He's a Pirate", composed by Hans Zimmer, sounds again, and unlike when Jack Sparrow appears, Shakira's singing voice is accompanied by the music.

The Latin style of singing further mobilized the atmosphere of the scene.

The moment the credits fell, thunderous applause echoed through the Kodak Theater like a storm, violently calling people who had no other idea than just to applaud with everyone, because the "Pirates of the Caribbean" that had just been screened deserved such applause.

Two security guards in the theater's vestibule, hearing the prolonged applause, looked curiously at the entrance of the hall, but the closed door blocked their view.

"Five minutes, huh?" the black security guard asked his companion next to him, "The applause lasted so long?"

The white security guard was a little surprised, and said: "I stayed here at the Oscars this year, and the audience gave a standing ovation during the tribute session, and the applause was not so enthusiastic and lasted so long." ”

The black security guard chimed in: "I was backstage, and the results of the awards for Best Actor and Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture were announced, and the applause was not so enthusiastic. ”

The applause continued, and it did not abate in the slightest, as if the emotions of the audience needed to be vented through this channel.

"Is this Pirates of the Caribbean really that good?" asked the white security guard.

The black security guard, who has worked at the Kodak Theater for several years, is also well-informed, saying, "Good movies always stir people's emotions." ”

In the hall of the Kodak Theater, Ronan saw the non-stop applause, and hurriedly greeted: "Everyone in the crew, go to the stage for a curtain call!"

These applause are spontaneous and not pre-arranged.

Ronan led the team, and the main creative staff, including director Gore Wipinski and the four main protagonists, walked on the stage together and bowed to the audience.

Listening to the thunderous applause and seeing everyone cheering for him, Christian Bale was very emotional, this is a treatment that he couldn't enjoy when he starred in literary films in the past.

Only by standing at the center of this spontaneous storm of spectators can you know that this feeling is crazy!

Keira Knightley bowed and covered her mouth with her hand, two lines of tears slowly flowing.

As for whether she is really moved or her acting skills are natural, it doesn't matter at all, because she is enjoying the moment.

Gore Verbinski was standing on Ronan's left-hand side and was equally thrilled that the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean was a clear success!

All the doubts! All the ridicule of his pirate films! What is the calculation under the applause of the audience? These thousands of viewers on the other side are the best representatives of the market and the basis for the survival of a commercial film!

Gore Verbinski turned his head to look at Ronan, some time ago an old classmate mocked him for taking on the pirate movie as "a mistake for life at the first sight of Ronan", that was pure fart! Ronan was clearly his goddess of luck!

No, it's the god of luck!

On Ronan's right-hand side, Jessica Felton, like the rest of the crew, once again bowed in thanks to the tidal wave of applause, but she pressed her neckline tightly with one hand to keep it from going out.

There are also many inconveniences in being too big, such as bowing like now, without doing some precautionary work, those two large balls hang down, which can directly smash the neckline open.

The applause finally thinned out, and the crew's curtain call ended, Jessica Filton turned around and hugged Ronan and said, "We made it!"

Ronan smiled and said, "Yes, Jesse, we made it!"

Everyone on the crew was hugging each other, as if the film had been a success.

In the auditorium, Michael Eisner didn't say a word, turned and walked towards the exit of the hall.

He has many years of experience in the live-action film industry, and although as a straight man of steel, he is still not used to looking at the twisted pirate captain, but he has his own judgment in his heart that this "Pirates of the Caribbean" may be a great success.

The next thing to consider is not whether Johnny Depp and Jack Sparrow are gay or not, but what kind of benefits Disney can gain from this pirate whirlwind that is very likely to blow?

There are Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland!

Ron Meyer also left the hall with some envy, fate is sometimes so unfair, like him and Ronan Anderson now.

"The Incredible Hulk", which was initiated by him, is itself a top hit comic book character, has a wide audience base, carries the wave of success of Marvel superhero movies "X-Men" and "Spider-Man", and has Ang Lee, who won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, at the helm, but it failed miserably at the box office.

Look at Pirates of the Caribbean.

It is a film genre that has long since declined, the script comes from the original, without any fan base, the actor appeal is similar to "The Incredible Hulk", and the director is the previously unknown Gore Verbinski.

The result?

Although the film has just premiered, it is not difficult for Ron Meyer, with years of experience in the industry, to judge that this is very likely to reverse the decline of pirate films.

Not to mention anything else, it is also a first-line top production, looking at the reaction of the premiere audience, it is not difficult to guess how big the gap is in the final market response of these two films.

Perhaps when it comes to the North American film market in 2003 in the future, "The Incredible Hulk" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" will become the typical of the year.

Well...... Typical of failures and successes.

At the end of the premiere, since Jessica Filton didn't have a car, Ronan invited her into her car and sent her home.

Just along the way, Jessica Filton moved to a new home this year, right in Beverly Hills.

"I thought you'd stay in that apartment all the time. ”

Sitting in the car, Ronan smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to buy a mansion too." ”

Jessica Felton shrugged slightly, a small gesture that was enough to cause the mountain to shake: "Technomaniacs also have the power to pursue a high quality of life. ”

Ronan nodded: "Your new home is good. ”

Jessica Felton said, "I took out a loan to buy a house that big, or I wouldn't have been able to afford it. She sighed: "The mortgage is on my head, and I suddenly find that I am more motivated to work." ”

Ronan couldn't help but laugh: "You should buy a bigger house." ”

"Okay to make you squeeze labor even more?" Jessica Filton has a great relationship with Ronan, and she doesn't need to look ahead and backward when she speaks: "I'm going to join the crew of "Mean Girls" next week for post-production. ”

Ronan said: "Jesse, your work in post-production is very good, the success of this "Pirates of the Caribbean" is inseparable from the editing you precede, I have to control the overall situation of the company, and it is impossible to be too specific to participate in the specific production of a certain film project." ”

He glanced at Jessica Felton and said, "With you as the post-producer, I can rest assured that I can do a lot of the work, and it also ensures that I have enough energy to do other work." ”

The two have been working together since Ronan's first film after coming to Los Angeles, "Project Human Eradication", and they are trusted partners and excellent friends.

Jessica Felton was also not polite to Ronan, saying, "I've lost ten pounds this year. Ronan, I'm about to be taken for a robot by you. ”

Ronan laughed and said, "Jesse, this is a capable person who works harder." ”

Jessica Filton put away the joke and said with a serious face: "Actually, I like this work-life rhythm very much, it makes me feel very fulfilling. ”

Ronan spread his hands: "So, Jesse, you are the real feminist." ”

Dropping off Jessica Felton, Ronan returns to the Eternalworld Manor alone.

At the Kodak Theatre, Greymane had just walked to the antechamber when he was stopped by a man with a badge that read "Cinema Score".

"Hello. The other party first gave a signature pen: "Can you ask a question?"

Greymane took the pen and said, "Of course. ”

The man asked, "Can you rate the Pirates of the Caribbean that you just watched?"

"A+!" said Greymane without hesitation, "This film definitely deserves an A+!"

There was an older person next to him, who seemed to hear the conversation between the two, and suddenly interjected: "Is there a better rating than A+?"

The investigator looked at the other side in surprise.

Varian smiled and scratched his head, saying, "This film is fantastic, it deserves a better rating than an A+!"

"Yes!" echoed again: "I have watched more than a dozen pirate movies, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" is the best!"

Someone else shouted: "A+! A+! must be A+! If this film doesn't give the highest score, what other film is worth such a rating this year?"

Then there was a bearded man who was intoxicated: "Captain Jack Sparrow is so beautiful! I don't know who chose Depp, and I don't know who has this vision! I feel like he knows better than Tim Burton what kind of role is suitable for Johnny Depp!"

As the people in the front hall of the Kodak Theater dispersed, the investigator did not finish his work, and stopped the last audience member who came out of the main hall and asked the same question after giving out a small gift.

"Captain Jack Sparrow alone is worth an A+!"

This is a female audience, but she is also addicted to the charm of the pirate captain and can't extricate herself: "This pirate captain is so handsome! Bohemian! domineering and exposed! full of pride! The ultimate of a man!"

Watching the young female audience member leave with a bit of a nymphomaniac, the survey consultant ended the evening's work and looked down at his stats, all of which were "A+!"

Among them, the lowest rating is also A!

The survey consultant gathered a few colleagues and briefly inquired about the statistics on their side, and found that they were basically the same as his.

The average score of the premiere audience on the spot is "A+"!

What does this mean? The investigator was a little stunned, because he knew very well that the audience of the premiere was so popular that "Pirates of the Caribbean" was about to take off!

Could it be that this pirate film is going to completely break the reality of the continuous sinking of this genre of films, and then soar into the sky?
