"There's something wrong with the setting of this dragon setting......" Eiichiro Oda said in his thick Japanese-accented English, greeted with a sideways look. Everyone looked at him, this was a script template written by the director, and it was finally decided after everyone revised and perfected it.

Hollywood screenwriters don't have a high status and can revise the script before filming, but big screenwriters often don't allow others to change the script. Even if the script is changed, once it is set, it will not be changed again.

When Oda said this when he was nearly halfway through the start of filming, he undoubtedly denied all the previous work of himself and his colleagues, which was their dereliction of duty.

"It's not a wise way to mention it, and I don't think there's anything wrong with the dragon's setting." Ted Elliott shook his head in direct denial.

Terry Rucio also said: "I'm afraid now is not the time to discuss the script, the topic we want to study is the filming of the big war later." ”

Even Chen Tiandu, when he heard this topic at first glance, felt a trace of disgust, and instinctively wanted to put it aside. But then when he saw Eiichiro Oda's embarrassed appearance, his heart moved, and he thought about it: "Oda raised this question, and he was mentally prepared to be denied, but he still brought it up......"

After a long silence, he regained his composure and said, "Oda, you carefully explain your opinion. ”

Oda was encouraged, looked at him gratefully, and said seriously, "Actually, it's too early to say this, because this may be the later storyline." I'm not sure if you'll use me in the next installment, so I have to say it now. ”

Chen Tiandu originally set the character of the evil dragon "Gregory", which was a reference to the classic Smaug in "The Hobbit", and also to make up for a deficiency in the original work. In the original "The Curse of the Black Pearl", it was the human side that won in the end. Barbossa died. Only one Easter egg remains. Monkey Jack swims along the waterway into the Treasure Land and picks up a gold Aztec coin in his coffin and transforms into an undead monkey, which also resurrects Barbossa for the next episode.

But there is a flaw here, and it stands to reason that Commodore Norrington on the human side could not have left so much wealth unattended. If they hadn't entered the Treasure Land, they wouldn't know that there were gold coins in it. But the capture of a captive is immediately known at the first trial. But there was no mention of it in the original work, and there was no silver in the sequel, and he couldn't understand what the mentality of the creators at that time was, but he himself felt that there were loopholes in this place, which would make the biggest interest of the film - the treasure, completely become a formality.

The reason why it is so important is also because Chen Tiandu's treasure land is more luxurious.

The overwhelming mountain of gold, the treasure land where the gold coins will make a noise all the way, is indeed much more dazzling than the original work in the hasty placement of some golden fakes, so it must be taken seriously.

Then Chen Tiandu placed the role of an evil dragon "Gregory" here. It appears at the end of the credits, scaring away the human fleet and taking over the treasure cave at the most critical moment.

After Jack Sparrow escapes from the gallows. Regain control of the Black Pearl. Unwilling to lose their gold coins, the desire for profit is the characteristic of pirates, and they want to return here alone to try to challenge the evil dragon.

He used his ability to speak beastly language to trick Gregory into going to the Land of Death to find his dead mother, the dragon crystal of the mother dragon.

"But why would he know where the she-dragon's bones are buried?"

The premise is this: Jack's father, Edward, happened to be lucky enough to stab the old dragon, and Jack was watered with dragon blood when he was a child. This could also explain the source of Jack's superpowers, which are able to understand dragon language and speak to dolphins and control beasts.

Although Gregory is a dragon, he is a young dragon, and he has not a high IQ and has been successfully deceived by Jack. At the same time, it also paved the way for the sequel "Gathering Soul Coffin" and "The End of the World", where Jack was devoured by a sea monster and entered the land of death to meet Gregory again.

In this setting, the evil dragon will always be the peak of power, and it is the same existence as the goddess of the sea, and it is impossible for humans to defeat it. But the three consecutive episodes only appeared as a surprise at the end of the film, which did not affect the balance of power in the whole film, and it was not until the end of the battle that I finally understood. Render a big high|tide. Speaking of which, it is also a reference to the appearance of Smaug in "The Hobbit", anyway, Smaug will not become his thing, and he will not care what will happen to "The Hobbit" when the time comes.

He originally proposed this setting, and then gathered the wisdom of everyone to modify and improve it, and it became the exquisite layout it is today. Everyone also agreed that this is a classic setting that will forever remain in the annals of photo history.

But Oda would actually deny it, he really wanted to hear what this Japanese man had to say.

Oda immediately explained his reasoning, "Gregory's preference for sleeping in gold coins and other settings are fine, including appearances and other settings. However, Jack's father, Edward, is a 'dragon slayer hero', who once stabbed the dragon and led the dragon to die of his injuries, which indirectly became a dragon slayer hero, but there is a problem with the setting. ”

"I remember a line from Gregory who smelled the same blood on Jack before he misunderstood Jack and believed his lies."

But even if he kept it a secret from the young dragon, the fact that Jack's father had a murderous feud with it could not be changed. The young dragon didn't know, but the audience knew, and in the eyes of the audience, Jack knew it. This is already a sinister character between the enemy and the enemy, and the smiling face is not smiling, which is very detrimental to the likable image of the protagonist. ”

"And ......," he paused, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Chen Tiandu and the others had already been brought into thinking by his words, and seeing Oda hesitating, he knocked on the table and said, "Keep talking." ”

Oda listened to his willingness to listen, his face was even more grateful, and his talent was affirmed, and he was slightly excited: "And I don't know if there will be more after the three episodes, because there is no ending for Gregory in the three episodes, I want to ...... There should also be a sequel. ”

There are too many factors for Hollywood movies to make sequels, and if the box office is on the street and the word of mouth is bad, don't think about sequels. But Chen Tiandu's movie has set a rhythm of more than three episodes from the beginning, whether it is his strength or confidence, then he should pave the way for the follow-up from the beginning. Just like his comics, if the back forgets the front, it will be unfinished. If there is no one behind, it is a eunuch.

"There will be." Chen Tiandu affirmed, "Say what you think, are you worried about the bad ending in the end?" After all, our planning has only progressed hastily to a trilogy, and the focus is on this one. ”

"Yes, that's what I meant. The deceit between the enemy and the enemy, and the fact that Jack has been deceiving the dragon, makes him seem too sinister. The image of a thief can be there, and betrayal is normal, but the setting of the protagonist's image will be too insidious all the way, which will make the audience disgusted. And most importantly, if this dragon is not too bad, it will end up fighting Jack for revenge. I'm afraid that by then, the audience will already like this dragon and can't bear to watch it die. ”

Chen Tiandu pondered for a moment again and said, "Let's discuss whether there is a crisis in this regard." ”

He had already spoken, and there was no need for everyone to disdain the Japanese and discuss it one after another.

"A notorious and notorious pirate, marauder, robber and robber." That's how Captain Jack Sparrow is described.

Transitioning between a pirate genius and a bubbly maniac, Jack has enemies in every port. Jack Sparrow has gained a lot of attention for his unique behavior, which is characterized by walking hobbly and a bit wild after being slightly drunk, waving his arms and gesticulating, which makes him seem unable to concentrate and may even be confused.

Peck said, "...... But he's not a big villain, and setting it too insidious does defeat the original intention. But it seems that none of this has anything to do with the first part, we have time to discuss. As one of the producers, he is most afraid of overspending, but the boss is a guy who "does not care about the cost".

"No, I think the basics have to be clear, after all, we were going to do a set from the beginning." McConaway disagreed, "but ...... As Peck said, fortunately, these problems are not related to the first part, even if we smell the dragon's blood, but we do not explain the source of Jack's supernatural abilities, we have many ways to make up for it. ”

"I think image or something is simply putting shackles on yourself. Jack is free, he's a pirate, what image does he need? People are too worried. Ted said.

Everyone talked about it, and in the end, the problem was fed back to Chen Tiandu.

Chen Tiandu agreed with Ted's statement and said to Eiichiro Oda: "The image problems you mentioned earlier are all secondary, and Jack Sparrow does not have Zài image problems, because in the second part, he betrayed Will Turner in order to survive." For a person who wants to live, there is no image that can restrain him, and freedom is his image. I think Oda's last sentence is the point, is it necessary for Jack to maintain a hatred with Gregory? ”

"We can't predict a lot of things in the future, and according to our assumptions, Gregory really doesn't have much bad behavior, maybe Gregory doesn't deserve to die then?"

At this point, he paused, remembered something, and said, "Peck, help me send me an audition offer to Robert Downey Jr. and ask him if he'd like to play a dragon." ”

Peck was stunned: "That addict? ”

With some hesitation, he said: "Chen, Robert Downey Jr.'s acting skills are fine, but are you sure he can play a dragon well?" Will Gregory be played by him as a poisonous dragon? ”

"Hey, Peck. It's not a good idea to talk about that, so let's let him audition first. ”

"Just kidding. Well, you're the boss, you have the final say. Peck smiled and said, "At least Robert Downey Jr.'s acting skills are still reassuring." (To be continued......)
