When he left Disney headquarters and sat on his Lamborghini, Zhang Fan did not start the car directly and left, but squeezed his fists hard and waved it twice!

After working hard for so long, I can finally see the hope of successfully winning Disney. Zhang Fan's mood at this time was as excited as if he was about to explode. Maybe Disney won't be as valuable as Alibaba, but that's Zhang's goal. After planning for so long, it has finally reached the stage where it is about to succeed, and it is the same excitement to be anyone.

Disney's shareholders were coerced or threatened by Zhang Fan to sign a contract agreement with Zhang Fan that seemed to them to be very generous. In order to prove that he has enough ability to lead Disney better, Zhang Fan chose pirate ships as the theme from the traditional projects of Disneyland to shoot a pirate movie.

If Zhang Fan's pirate-themed movie exceeds $750 million at the global box office, then Disney's shareholders who participated in the misappropriation of the company's money for futures investment will have to sell their shares to Zhang Fan at a parity price. And if the box office does not reach $750 million, then Zhang Fan will sell his shares in Disney, which these shareholders previously pledged to Citibank, at a fair price.

Whether or not he can do this, Zhang Fan will promise that he will never poke out the embezzlement of the company's money by Disney's shareholders.

Such a contract stipulates that Disney's shareholders have taken advantage of it in every respect. In fact, it is true, and they can't really agree to bet on Disney unless they see the hope of taking advantage of it.

In the eyes of these shareholders, there is no hope for pirate-themed movies at all, not only because of the extremely tragic Cut Throat Island of the year, but also because with the development of the times, movies with this genre have been gradually abandoned. After all, how many young people who were born and grew up in the Internet age would like to watch pirates? And even pirates with wooden sailboats? Even many people don't know that there have been such pirates in history. Without these viewing foundations, pirate-themed movies will naturally be lonely.

It is precisely because of these reasons that these shareholders decided to accept Zhang Fan's request, so as to completely cover up the matter.

However, what these people didn't think about, or subconsciously didn't want to think about, was that it was not the first time that Zhang Fan had sent this kind of thing to the door to deliver benefits. Zhang Fan had done this to these shareholders before, and that time Disney lost its vital Pixar company.

It can even be said that the reason why Disney has been frustrated all the way to the point where it is today is largely because Pixar was taken away by Zhang Fan. The loss of Pixar was a very heavy blow to Disney, and it was long-term.

After getting what he wanted, Zhang Fan immediately began to prepare for the filming plan.

Pirate movies are indeed in decline, but that refers to pirate movies in the traditional sense. Pirates of the Caribbean's strong magical and witty humor is completely different from the traditional pirate movies that rely on history and bloody cruelty.

There is hardly any real blood among the pirates of the Caribbean, and more of it is just a rendering. This is completely different in traditional pirate movies, where there is as much bloody and cruel as it can be. The old-fashioned directors relied on plasma and severed arms to fill their films.

Not to mention the magical colors, with the support of modern computer technology, many previously whimsical ideas can now be perfectly presented in front of everyone. This is the most important reason why the film industry is growing by leaps and bounds on a massive scale in this era.

The magic of Pirates of the Caribbean seems so real, as if it were all real. This kind of strong visual impact is not comparable to the magic that relies on background patterns and models to render.

In addition to these, it is crucial that the actors' performances are excellent.

In old-fashioned pirate movies, pirates are all murderous-looking, sloppy, dirty, and evil-doering. And the characters of justice, such as the British Royal Navy, have always been tall and handsome, and the jade tree is in the wind. This may have something to do with the fact that most of the directors are British immigrants. This mode is as much as the main theme movie, and it makes people helpless.

And in the subversive Pirates of the Caribbean movie, the pirates begin to become less bad pus, while the positive image of the navy begins to blur. Coupled with the excellent performances of the actors, the success of this iconoclastic pirate movie is not due to luck.

Then there is the plot, Pirates of the Caribbean has abandoned the traditional passage where the heroine and the male protagonist have to be together. Chose to have the heroine and supporting actor together. In the eyes of most filmmakers, this approach is in line with the audience's movie-watching psychology, but in this era, there are too many stories, and the audience prefers to watch different results.

Zhang Fan's film company is now working very hard, and there are many plans for the next shooting. There is the third part of Iron Man, there is the second part of Hulk and Thor, and Captain America. There are X-Men series movies, the first step of Little Spider, the first Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean, who are crucial to Zhang Fan.

Each of these films requires a lot of investment, and each of them has an investment of at least hundreds of millions of dollars. In other studios, even the biggest Hollywood companies don't have the ability and courage to support the production of so many big-budget films at the same time.

It's not just the cost reason, it's more important that so much investment can't determine who can make a profit. Hollywood's approach is to come one by one, not all together. After all, the huge loss of each movie is a heavy blow to the film company, and they don't have the strong confidence of Zhang Fan.

In fact, if Zhang Fan didn't have a golden finger, he would not have spent so much money to make movies in one go. It is also a reaction to cautiously test the market like other film companies, and will not produce until there is enough confidence and accumulation.

And now, Zhang Fan has a golden finger, saying that he will not let go of these hens who can lay golden eggs.

Zhang Fan handed over all the other films to the company to be responsible. Both the director and the actors are arranged by the company. You only need to shoot according to the planning script provided by Zhang Fan. And his main focus is on the Pirates of the Caribbean. Because this movie is about whether he can win the Disney company.

The first thing to do in the preparation of the film is to find the actors. Zhang Fan doesn't have the idea of being unconventional, since the actors of this movie in the parallel world have performed this movie extremely well, there is no need to replace it. Zhang Fan naturally wanted to find these actors who had proven themselves to play roles.

In the entire Pirates of the Caribbean movie series, the most important role is Captain Jack Sparrow. This is the soul of the entire series of movies. As for the other actors and actresses, in front of him, they were all green leaves that set off the red flowers. Such an important actor, of course, Zhang Fan was invited in person.

Johnny Depp, the first work that entered Hollywood was the famous Ghost Street, a classic movie scene in many infinite streams. Later, he starred in the famous Scissorhands Edward and became a representative figure of literary students.

The actor, who wanted to be a rock star at the beginning, has fallen since Edward Scissorhands. became a famous playboy in Hollywood, addicted to women and alcohol. Of course, there are also drugs that are almost inevitably needed in this industry.

Now the Golden Globe Award winner for Best Actor has no chance to act, and no film company or director dares to use him. The scene at this moment is even more tragic than that of Robert Downey Jr., who came out of prison.

But Zhang Fan doesn't care about Johnny Depp's things outside of work, which is someone's private matter. As long as he can get the job done, he doesn't care what he does in private. Hollywood actors do have a very positive image. But most of them are the same existence as Johnny Depp. They will become lost after becoming famous and rich, the difference is only that some people can find themselves after being lost, while others are completely sunk.

The heroine Keira Knightley is looking for an opportunity in Hollywood at this time, and as long as she hands over an olive branch, she will never be refused. Women in Hollywood, especially those who have not yet reached the front line, are willing to give anything in order to be able to appear in movies and thus embark on the road to fame. The scene where the big-mouthed Julia Roberts directly asked her agent who she had to sleep with to get the role has never disappeared in Hollywood. It was a very painless thing to invite Keira Knightley.

As for the blacksmith of the second male lead, to be honest, there is no problem for anyone to play this role. However, in order to avoid trouble, Zhang Fan still chose Orlando Bloom, who was popular in the Lord of the Rings series of movies because of his role as the elf prince.

Orlando Bloom hasn't had a great show since The Lord of the Rings. With the passage of time, his worth and fame are also declining. If Zhang Fan gives an invitation, even if it is the second male lead, he can't refuse it. After all, Zhang Fan's fame in the entire world film industry at this time is unbelievable. Not only the audience is looking forward to his works, but the actors are also looking forward to playing the role in Zhang Fan's works. Because that's almost a guarantee of success.

And in terms of scenes, the famous Black Pearl is naturally going to be a real sailing ship. At the same time, a small town from hundreds of years ago will be built. The location was going to a location in the Gulf of Mexico to shoot. Add to that the costumes, make-ups, and props of all kinds of characters, including pirates and townspeople, as well as Royal Navy soldiers. The preparatory work in the early stage can be described as a thousand things.
