Chapter 345: A Great Success

At this moment, there are countless people who are paying attention to this movie. Some people hope that Zhang Fan can continue his glory and make a hugely successful film, while others secretly curse that Zhang Fan's myth will fall on this pirate-themed movie that is almost frowned upon by everyone.

And at this moment, whether they are optimistic about Zhang Fan or curse Zhang Fan, they are all sitting in the cinema together waiting to watch this movie.

When Zhang Fan, Johnny Depp and other main creators of the crew came to the stage to express their gratitude and accepted an interview with reporters. The lights in the cinema gradually dimmed, and Pirates of the Caribbean officially began to be released.

The opening paragraph is nothing special, the ship moves forward in a thick fog and encounters the victims, saying obscure words to set off the terrifying atmosphere. This kind of scene made many people express their disappointment in their hearts. It's too bland, and there's nothing special to speak of.

The corners of Disney's mouths couldn't help but knock, if this movie was only to this extent, then Zhang Fan would definitely end in failure! This form of pirate movie has long been eliminated by the market, and it seems that Zhang Fan has run out of talent.

Lin Yueying, who was sitting next to Zhang Fan, grabbed Zhang Fan's hand with some concern, wanting to comfort him. But I didn't expect to touch a smooth and slender hand. Looking sideways, it was actually his sister Lin Yueqing.

It's really embarrassing. Fortunately, the lights in the movie theater were dim at this time, and no one saw her crimson face.

The movie continues to play on the big screen, and the camera quickly shifts from a dim, gloomy and oppressive environment to a sunny harbor with a blue sea and blue sky. It is also accompanied by impassioned and majestic music, which makes people's spirits instantly lifted.

The film's real and only protagonist, Captain Jack Sparrow, makes his debut to the sound of the music.

Smoky eyebrows, a sexy mustache, braided hair, a red bandana, crumpled pants and a triangular hat. This bizarre outfit made many people smile in an instant. In particular, a large gold tooth looks vibrant.

Jack Sparrow stood on top of the mast with the sail of the ship, and the whole person was majestic and imposing. It's as if sweeping across the sea with an invincible armada.

However, when the camera opens, the audience is stunned to find that there is no Armada, only a small sampan that is constantly leaking. When the imposing Jack Sparrow jumped off the mast and began to pour the water into the boat, the movie theater erupted in laughter.

This scene is so dramatic, with complete black humor plus a reversal. It made almost everyone feel a burst of relief. Many viewers have already realized at this time that this is not a bloody and violent pirate movie in the traditional sense at all, but a joyful comedy movie that most audiences like the most and is most suitable for screening in cinemas!

People who were still worried about Zhang Fan before put their minds at ease and began to pay attention to the movie. And those who want to see Zhang Fan's jokes have a stiff face, especially those from Disney. are all veterans who have been in this industry for many years, and these people know best what kind of movies the audience likes and may succeed.

The camera continues to stretch to the shore, as the advancing but equally sinking sampan finally reaches the shore before the mast is submerged under the water, as the locals around the harbour watch. Captain Jack Sparrow, on the other hand, stepped onto the boardwalk with a relaxed face.

By the time the dock tax collector was serious about charging the berthing fee for Jack Sparrow's sunken sampan, the movie theater was full of laughter. Lin Yueying and the others sitting next to Zhang Fan were already laughing and leaning back, it was really funny.

Listening to the laughter of the audience, Johnny Depp and other actors were full of joy when they watched it. Zhang Fan told them that this is not a pirate movie in the traditional sense, but a comedy that makes the audience laugh. Zhang Fan did it, and it was indeed too interesting.

While making the audience laugh, the narrative plot of this film does not have the slightest pause. Unlike the actors in traditional movies who can tell what position they stand by looking at their faces and outfits, Pirates of the Caribbean, starting with the only protagonist, Jax Sparrow, all the actors have turned the image upside down.

The shrewd and capable Jack Sparrow has always done it for himself, but bad luck always happens.

And Wiltner, the blacksmith who is definitely the number one character in traditional pirate movies, has no idea of becoming a savior to fight pirates. Everything he does is for the sake of beautiful women. No matter what happens, there's no way to affect this.

As for the Doge's daughter, Elizabeth, the standard vase character has some sparkles. Especially the part where the Black Pearl eats apples is not bad.

And the veteran Jeffrey Rush played the role of the ghost pirate leader of the opposite number one to life. This is not a vicious traditional pirate. Although arrogant and persistent. But he is a man who is good at controlling the crew, and is far more suitable to be a captain than Jack Sparrow.

In the movie, Jeffrey Rush and his ghost pirates are madly pursuing to be a living person, not a ghostly one. In the end, they did achieve their goal, but it was accompanied by death. If you want to get, you have to pay. This is perfectly interpreted.

The plot of Pirates of the Caribbean is actually not new, it is just an alternative game of officers and soldiers catching thieves. But compared to those flesh-and-blood traditional pirate movies. There is no cruelty or inner torment in Pirates of the Caribbean. Only stupid officers and soldiers are fighting wits and courage with interesting pirates.

Although there are many fights and killings in the movie, there is no sense of blood. Zhang Fan was not prepared to let blood appear in this movie before filming. This is not a movie that relies on bloody scenes to stimulate the audience to make gimmicks.

When Jack Sparrow returns to his Black Pearl at the end of the movie, majestic music plays. The end credits begin to appear, and the lights of the cinema come on. Everyone stood up and applauded vigorously, both genuinely and falsely. The whole cinema burst into applause.

Many very satisfied viewers chanted the names of the actors in the play, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Although the Disney people were applauding, their faces were much more ugly. After seeing the effect of this movie called Pirates of the Caribbean, The Curse of the Black Pearl, they already have the most intuitive and profound understanding of how it works.

It's a very good movie, a very addictive movie to watch.

With such an excellent work, coupled with the previous large-scale publicity and shockingly large distribution channels. It can't be said to be 100% successful, but the odds of getting good results are already limitless.

The market of the modern world film industry is not complicated, and the world film industry generally uses the North American movie box office as a weather vane. Except for some films with strong regional characteristics or very special characteristics, as long as it is a film that can succeed in North America, it will generally not be too bad in the world. Roughly how much box office in North America will be able to achieve overseas.

However, with the continuous and rapid development of the Chinese film market in recent years, this industry law that has lasted for decades is constantly being broken. With the take-off of China's economy and the rapid prosperity of the film market, it may overtake North America as the largest source of the world's box office in a few years.

Zhang Fan didn't really care about the reaction of the audience who came to attend the premiere of the movie. After all, these people are invited, except for some mavericks or special opponents, basically no one will not give face at this time. What can really make people see through the box office trend are those real audiences.

The premiere ended quickly, and after saying goodbye to many invited guests, Zhang Fan took the crew to the Hilton Hotel to hold a celebration banquet.

Americans are so fond of having parties that it has even developed into a culture. It's the same culture that Chinese people like to eat in restaurants when they have something. Zhang Fan is ready for a lively party tonight, a grand party that will not return all night.

He also had no way to go home, the Lin sisters and Li Ruhui were all there. It must be extremely embarrassing for him to go home, and it is not a good choice to accompany anyone. Then I had to have a good time outside and never return all night.

When Zhang Fan and the crew were having fun all night, the midnight scene of Pirates of the Caribbean also officially began.

The next afternoon, Zhang Fan, who woke up after being drunk, received an investigation report from the audience at the midnight show. More than 95 percent of viewers gave the Pirates of the Caribbean movie an A score or higher. Only a small percentage of the audience gave a score of B or less. This made Zhang Fan breathe a long sigh of relief.

Only the audience's reaction is the key to what really determines the direction of a film. Now that the audience has responded well, it naturally makes Zhang Fan feel at ease.

As the audience survey report shows, on Friday, the first day of the official release of Pirates of the Caribbean. The total box office of the day plus the midnight show was $117 million! This result means that the film must be a blockbuster production!

On Saturday, the movie hit a high box office, grossing more than $120 million. On Sunday, it declined, but it remained above $100 million.

In three days over the weekend, Pirates of the Caribbean had already earned more than $340 million at the box office. This is already a number that many big-budget movies can't reach.

Disney everyone was mourned after getting the news, and they knew that Zhang Fan's entry into Disney was unstoppable. Unless the film suffers a crushing failure in the overseas box office market, it will hardly be difficult to break $750 million at the box office!

And Zhang Fan has already gone to Citibank to seek support at this time, and he needs a large sum of money to buy Disney shares!
