Together with Victor, Chen Tiandu borrowed a helicopter from his neighbor Johnny's family, and Johnny personally flew him to New York. Airplanes, usually feel that they are not very useful, but when they are used, they hate less. Through this, he made up his mind to buy an airplane.

After flying for a few hours, I was notified on the plane radio that the skies over New York had been grounded. The South Building of the World Trade Center has all collapsed, the Pentagon has been bombed, and the United States is now very nervous. I had to land in a nearby town and drive there. When I finally saw Kate, it was almost dark, and Kate saw him and threw herself over with cheers, her excitement overflowing.

"It's okay, it's okay." He patted Kate's back and comforted her, and Kate, who has always been free and easy, also blushed, how can this posture be the same as patting a little pet. It was already nightfall when I returned to Los Angeles that day, and after thanking Johnny for helping him all day, I finally returned home.

The next day, the sun rose as usual. But yesterday's terrorist attack, which shocked the entire planet, will forever remain in the memory of the world. The twin towers of the World Trade Center have completely collapsed, the ruins are blazing with fires, and rescuers are clearing the rubble and rescuing the survivors buried in the rubble, and the whole of New York remains in a semi-paralyzed state. Fortunately, Chen Tiandu went early, and when they arrived home, the half-abandoned Pentagon issued a notice that all civil aviation flights in the United States were grounded, 48 states stopped one qiē commercial and private flights, and the entire United States airspace was banned for three days; All military districts sounded the first-level alarm, and it is estimated that the nuclear bomb button has been taken out for later use.

The entire economy was also paralyzed, and folk rumors spread everywhere; The U.S. military around the world is on high alert, and war seems to be on the verge of breaking out......

All entertainment news is also covered. Movies released at the same time were tragically affected. All without exception. September 10~16. "Baseball Coach," a baseball-themed melodrama starring Keanu Reeves, led the North American box office charts this weekend and eventually won the weekend box office, but it was only $10.1 million.

In the three days starting Friday, the top 12 films on the charts grossed $54 million, but unexpectedly increased by 43 percent compared to the same period last year, according to Sunday Distribution. Because last year was during the Olympic Games, it was even more miserable.

Preparations for the film are suspended. Everyone is watching the situation happen.

It wasn't until a week later that the news seemed to come out that four civilian planes had been hijacked by Taliban elements, two hit the World Trade Center, one hit the Pentagon, and one crashed in Pennsylvania. More than 2,000 people are now expected to have been killed, including 246 passengers on four planes, workers at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and hundreds of rescue workers who lost their lives.

During these days, almost all the crews in Hollywood stopped work and rested.

Hollywood's usual hustle and bustle is gone, and even the media that are busy denigrating and belittling "Pirates of the Caribbean" have all changed their layouts, but they will not really escape the catastrophe. When the storm subsides, it is estimated that he will come up with something to talk about again.

There was also a grand TV show for disaster relief fundraising. Superstar-studded. Although the American people pay attention to freedom, if anyone strikes a thunder at this time, it is really a dead end.

Chen Tiandu has also been at home during this time, and the crew reunited a week later. The casting process is suspended, but the post-production preparations will not stop.

In addition to bringing in Eiichiro Oda as a creative consultant, the writers of "Pirates of the Caribbean" also hired Ted Elliott and Terry Rocyano, the screenwriters of "Shrek", to help refine and revise the script. Ted and Terry are very impressed by the supernatural elements in Chen's script, and Chen Tiandu gives them a general idea of the follow-up film and asks them to help set up a reasonable hierarchy.

Eiichiro Oda, on the other hand, had a lot of ideas, and he suggested that the pirate's treasure island could be set up more mysteriously, and the entrance was set underwater, entering the empty cave in the mountain.

After hearing Chen Tiandu's introduction to the plot of the second and third parts, Tiyì moved the expedition from the ground to the sky, and the sailboat could use an updraft to reach all the way to the sky, reaching the sky and clouds that ordinary people could not reach. And there are also inhabitants on the Sky Island, and there are even ferries, but they are not paddling but swimming in the clouds. It's a singular race of seclusion, and there's all sorts of incredible ......

This setting is so novel that it really amazes everyone. He said that he was going to use it in the follow-up plot of his manga "One Piece", and that if "Pirates of the Caribbean" was willing to adopt the plot, he could give up drawing it in "One Piece".

But if this novel setting is made into a real movie, the investment cost will definitely be more. Moving from the ground to the air will greatly weaken the meaning of the realistic theme, and the taste of magic will be stronger, and no one can say what the final result will be.

But Chen Tiandu still agreed to him: "I will provide the general framework of the script, you can improve it, as long as it is reasonable, I will definitely shoot it." ”

There are also skills about warships and pirate ships, as well as the overall setting of the magic skills of the main characters, the daughter of the sea god has powerful magical abilities, the Flying Dutchman is a cursed ship, the Black Pearl is an undead pirate ship, etc., all need to have a suitable setting.

Because Chen Tiandu is not just creating a movie, but a huge movie series.

In Chen Tiandu's script, Jack Sparrow has no supernatural abilities, and even if he is exiled to a desert island, he escapes by a passing ship. This adds to the joke. But there are also objections to this, and Tedtiyì said: "Just give Jack a supernatural ability that allows him to talk to large sea creatures such as dolphins and sharks, but dolphins don't necessarily listen to him and need some bribes." There will even be some jokes in between, so that it can also be a sense of joy. ”

Chen Tiandu was a little dumbfounded, wouldn't it be completed into a magical nautical story in the air. You must know that these two people are still the screenwriters of the original work, and they actually denied the original setting at this moment. But he didn't veto it at all, and the improvement of Captain Jack's strength would not be too obvious, after all, there would be Blackbeard's supernatural abilities in the future. Add a joke factor and a sense of mystery to the main character. Harmless. He felt that he could consider it.

Several people were encouraged, and their brains were suddenly opened.

even wants to give Elizabeth in the later stage a weakened version of the skill with the same ability as the "Queen of the Sea", so that she can "calm the storm". This ability is incredible in the Caribbean, and Chen Tiandu also did not deny it, because there is a setting of undead races in the first part, cannibals and Norwegian sea monsters appear in the second part, and the Grim Reaper territory where souls gather appears in the third part. There is even a mermaid race in the fourth part, an elven race in the fifth, and a snake man race in the sixth......

With so many supernatural settings, what else is impossible. But now is the working time of the first work, and he will come up with the follow-up scripts one after another, and after the success of the first part, it will not be too late to reunite with the old part.

Although "Pirates of the Caribbean" tells a fantasy story, Chen Tiandu and other main creators dare not be sloppy about the relevant historical background, and if they are separated from the historical background, the sense of substitution will be greatly lost. Not all fantasy movies after all. can have an audience base like "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings".

The producers brought in Peter Tswester, a respected historian, as an advisor.

Tvester studied the history of the 16th and 20th centuries and imparted his knowledge of history to various parts of the crew. From the customs of the time, the details of dress, to daily life, navigation and military conditions, and so on.

Speaking at the script workshop, Twist said: "A pirate is a person who commits a crime on the high seas, so 'pirate' is a very broad term that can be defined as piracy as long as it is the act of stealing and destroying property in open water. Originally an individual, casual and untrained, piracy became more and more sophisticated. During the war, for example, the government allowed some people to raid enemy shipping and then share the proceeds with the sailors, which was legal at the time, and was called wanton plundering. ”

"At that time, the Netherlands, Britain, Spain and other countries all had their own wanton plundering ships, that is, warships changed their flags and changed their faces to plunder. Many shipowners and sailors recognized this way of survival, and after the war ended, they continued to act in this way, and became pirates. With the help of his knowledge, the pirates in the film do not have real character archetypes, and they also reflect what real pirates do, adding a lot of realism.

The small islands of the Caribbean are ideal for pirates, as a steady stream of merchant ships carrying treasure and goods pass through. However, pirate treasure has always been just a rumor, and in fact there is no evidence. Historical records show that the typical pirate would splurge on his belongings and have no leftovers.

A specific period was also specified for the film, and in order to give the story a rough outline of the era, the period between 1720 and 1750 was chosen, at the end of the heyday of piracy.

More than three weeks have passed since 911, the United States has already lifted the alarm for terrorist attacks, planes have resumed sailing, and the fire in the ruins of the World Trade Center has been extinguished.

And life goes on, and the whole of America seems to have returned to its original order.

The biggest shadow left by the 911 incident is planes, terrorists, and personal safety; The same is true in Hollywood, where almost all A-list stars with a salary of more than 10 million have canceled their plans to shoot overseas films, including superstars Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Jim Carrey, Will Smith, ...... Countless stars, as well as big producers, directors, etc., have made it clear in unison that they will no longer be trapeze artists for the time being, and they are only willing to stay in China.

The fourth season of the nation's most-watched CBS reality TV series, "Survivor," was originally scheduled to travel to the Middle East for filming, but has also been canceled. Americans enjoy freedom and are more afraid of death, and the celebrities are all rich and more desperate. The film crew, actors, and crew of the entire crew of "Survivor" gave up their high salaries and didn't want to go to the Middle East to play their lives, so naturally they couldn't finish it.

The Middle East tops the list of unsafe places in the world as rated by the United States, and Canada and Australia are likely to be attacked. Fortunately, China is not among them, and it will be next year when it is the turn of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to be filmed, so it will not be affected too much.

It's just that the crew of "Fast and Thrilling" that is being prepared will inevitably suffer an impact, and after the script of the second sequel is preliminarily determined, the plot also needs to be filmed in many places overseas. The specific shooting plan should also be postponed or another time and place should be selected.

It's just that everyone in the crew is already a big star, and the schedule is not easy to coordinate. As a result, the next filming may also be delayed until next year.

And the casting of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has finally restarted, but Disney suddenly has a bad news.

PS: I thought about whether to add some spice to "Pirates of the Caribbean", after all, in the eyes of fans, this movie is perfect, and any small modification is a continuation of the dog's tail. But I'm writing a crooked novel, and I'm not really writing a screenplay. If you copy it, it's very easy, and it doesn't cost so many brain cells, but it seems too insincere and uninnovative to write like that, and I guess you don't want to read the repetition. After thinking about it, I decided to continue to add some changes willfully. But rest assured, it's all a harmless fantasy setting that will maintain the essence of the original movie. I hope you will support! (To be continued......)
