On September 1, after more than a year of planning, the Pirate King prequel was finally officially launched at Studio 12 at Universal Studios. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the backdrop of Singapore City was originally built in Studio 12, this time only a few parts of the set were changed, and the previous structure could be used to save a lot of money.

But even so, this Pirate King prequel is still heavily invested in 120 million production funds, mainly the salary of the actor Zhou You and the salary of the female lead Nicole Kidman.

Zhou You's salary is still 20 million US dollars, and he does not participate in dividends. The actress Kidman has been in the limelight in recent years, and her salary has climbed to $20 million after the Moulin Rouge. Although she is known as box office poison, who made her beautiful, Zhou You took a fancy to her at the beginning.

As for the other heroine, Gracia, not only did she not get paid, but she also invested 20 million US dollars herself, and only had a 5% share of the box office.

Another leading actor was selected by Zhou You to be a brother and robbed of the role of Howling Wind, and now he has the role of the father of Howling Wind, which is worthy of him. His salary is five million dollars, which is neither high nor low. As for Yang Enquan and Liang Hao, due to their fame, although they are newcomers in the film and television industry, their salaries have also risen to the million level.

The story of the prequel begins with Nicole Kidman playing an English girl who is kidnapped by the pirate king played by Fa Ge on the way to Singapore, and although she is later rescued by the British, she is already pregnant with Fa Ge's child, that is, Xiao Feng played by Zhou You.

Such a child who is not treated well on both sides, although he will not be bullied because of his parents' status, has lived in cynicism from all walks of life since he was a child.

The ruthlessness of the father of Howling Wind as the Pirate King, and the humiliation and hatred of the Mother of Howling Wind for this black history, made Howling Wind not appreciate the warmth of family since he was a child, and his heart gradually became indifferent.

The eldest brother played by Yang Eun-quan is the heir to the next Pirate King due to his root red Miao Zheng, and he has received most of the support within the pirates. He suppressed the rise of Xiaofeng in every way, and the scars on Xiaofeng's face were carved by him in a competition.

In addition to Liang Hao and Cai Zhongwei, who grew up together, Xiaofeng has only one uncle who is deeply sympathetic to his plight. He saved Howling Wind and passed on his mastery of Chinese Kung Fu to him, and introduced him to the Philippines in order to escape his pursuit.

On his way to the Philippines, Howling Wind befriended Gracia, who was from Spain. Gracia plays the role of the daughter of an adventurous rich man, and the most admired is the female pirate king of Spanish history, Caterina. She fell in love with the grim Howling Wind at first sight, and offered to sponsor him to return to Singapore to reclaim the throne of the Pirate King.

In the Philippines, Howling Wind meets her uncle's friend, a local witch of high status, and after many trials, learns the curse she does best.

However, the final price of the curse is to use the witch's life as a medium, allowing Howling Wind to gain all of the witch's abilities. The witch who was already in the last years of her life sacrificed her life to make Zhou You a real powerhouse.

It was also at this time that Howling Wind's only uncle who could rely died at the hands of his father, which gave him thoughts of revenge. Gracia financed Howling Wind's three boats, and together with the witch's trusted subordinates, Howling Wind began to sweep away his father's power.

His growing power also attracted the attention of the British, who at first regarded this new pirate with British roots as a mongrel. But as his power grew, the British began to support him.

Not only did the British support it, but the Spaniards also began to support it, which allowed Howling Wind to develop so quickly that he was able to stand up to his father.

The final moment of decisive battle finally came, and Howling Wind killed his father and killed his brother. After sitting on the throne of the pirate king, he also killed his mother, who had been using him and had no love for him, and the story ended in the last teardrop of his mother's death.

In the tears, the final shot is of the British and Spaniards raising their guns.

Yes, the story doesn't quite end. At the very least, Gracia was alive and well when she became Howling Wind's lover and sat with him on the Pirate King's throne, but she didn't appear in Pirates of the Caribbean.

This is deliberately done by the film company, in order to think that if the film does well at the box office, there will be a second prequel. The Disney company even wanted to make this series like Star Wars, and make a big series.

The style of this prequel is completely different from the main sequel, without Captain Jack's gags and nonsense, the style of the whole film is very depressing, sharp, and cold. In the film, the only warmth comes from the love between Howling Wind and Gracia, which is also the only warm color in the film.

In terms of storyline, this seems to be a martial arts feature film of a Hong Kong film, but this is still a pure Hollywood movie. Because in Hong Kong films or mainland films, killing one's father and mother is almost a rebellious existence, and no film will shoot the protagonist like this. No matter how big the hatred is, it is nothing more than a captivity.

But in order to maintain the aggressive style of this film, after countless arguments, it was decided to let Howling Wind kill his parents and eldest brother with his own hands, creating a ruthless pirate king.

If the film is popular, there will be a second prequel to follow. In the second part, it will mainly describe the Pirate King's break with the English and Spaniards, and finally it will be the death of Gracia that makes Howling Wind a ruthless man.

At the opening ceremony, Zhou You really met the actress Nicole Kidman for the first time, this cold and glamorous woman is simply the most perfect woman in Zhou You's mind at this age. The commercials she shot for Chanel and her appearance in the Moulin Rouge made Zhou Yi never get tired of watching.

Especially the eye-opening nude picture, there is always the urge to let Zhou You lick the screen. Although she later became a box office poison, when she got older, the horizontal flesh on her face came out, and her naked figure was no longer so perfect. But at least for now, her fair skin, almost perfect body, and flawless face make Zhou You still fascinated by her.

Although they are both starring, Zhou You actually doesn't have many rivalry scenes with Kidman, but their rivalry is from childhood to the end of the film. In terms of lenses, she travels the most, she is the second most, Gracia is the third, and Fa Ge is the fourth.

She went from a pure girl who was going to come to Singapore to get married, and was **** and gave birth to a child who made her unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life. Therefore, although she still married her husband who served as an officer in the British army because of her interests, she lost the favor she deserved, was depressed all her life, and finally became psychologically evil.

It can be said that in this film, she is the one who needs acting skills the most. Even Fa Ge only needs to play a ruthless and evil pirate king all the time.

Xiaofeng has changed from a child who longs for love to a person like his father, who is cool most of the time, and has most of the action scenes to make up for the shortcomings of his literary drama.

Gracia's role also does not test her acting skills, and yoga and Chinese kung fu, which she has studied with Zhou You for many years, also come in handy. In terms of character, she is very similar to Elizabeth Swan played by Paris, but she is more brilliant.

After all, she is more beautiful than Paris.

The resemblance of their two roles is also deliberately arranged, which is to pave the way for the emotional development of Xiaofeng and Elizabeth in the main story. Anyway, now the importance of the role of the little blacksmith has been greatly diluted, and maybe in the future, the little blacksmith will only be an ordinary captain.

When Zhou Yu entered Studio 12 to shoot, the Disney Company began public relations, hoping that the Bureau of Prisons would relax the policy and allow Zhou Tu to shoot on location in the Caribbean.

The request was quickly approved, but not only did Disney need to vouch for it, but two people needed to follow it. At first, I thought it was a benefit in disguise, and arranged for two people to travel around the Caribbean together. However, it was only later that I learned that the identities of these two people were very suspicious, which made him remember another account in his heart.

In Hollywood, the cost of an actor for a movie is less than half, which is very rare, because no matter how classic a blockbuster is, it also needs famous characters to attract audiences.

But this movie, with a tour, has replaced countless famous characters. In Disney's market research, the role of the Pirate King played by Zhou You is the most anticipated role by all audiences, and the market popularity is even higher than that of Johnny Depp, the star of the first two films.

Moreover, with Zhou You's participation, the sponsors are also generous, and the sponsorship fee for the Pirate King prequel has exceeded 20 million US dollars, which is higher than Zhou You's salary.

It is equivalent to saying that although this movie claims to be an investment of 120 million, in fact, Disney has less than 80 million dollars. This money, for the Disney company, is a loss.

Although he is in Hollywood, Zhou You has been living in seclusion since he was released from prison. Every morning from the villa to the studio, in the afternoon home to be with the children.

Zhongxuan followed Yan Fangqing back to Singapore to go to school, and the four little ones all stayed in Los Angeles. Without her restraint, even the usually shy Zhongzhen also radiated the nature of a child. Although she is only more than a month older than Zhong'an and Zhongge, she also behaves like a young lady and has learned to take care of people.

Especially Zhongyuan, who is one year younger, likes to play with her the most, and even Zhongge likes this sister more than Zhong'an, because Zhong'an is really a little too active.

Zhou You often wonders if the personalities of Zhong'an and Zhongge are reversed. Zhong'an is a girl, not quiet at all, full of energy, and likes to be naughty and bully others. Zhongge has a quiet personality and is like a girl, so he also likes to play with Zhongzhen the most.

"Daddy, help...... Help ......"

Before the car where Zhou You was sitting with Gracia had stopped, Zhong'an ran to the front of the car, and the frightened Batistuta immediately braked suddenly. Zhou You opened the car door, and Zhong'an rushed over and drilled into the car.

Paris chased after her from behind, still screaming. "Zhong'an, your father, mother is back, I want to teach you a lesson."

"What makes you so angry?" Gracia put her arms around Zhong'an, pushed open the door and got out of the car, but then burst out laughing.

Only then did you find that Paris was covered in sand, and standing there, the sand was still falling through her hair and clothes.

Paris trembled with anger, pointed to Zhong'an, who was hiding behind Gracia, and said, "This little villain ruined our results in the afternoon, and then managed to make the other three children cry, making me want to swell her little ass." ”

Hearing her say this, and seeing Gracia's puzzled eyes, Zhong'an seemed to feel that his mother was not safe anymore, and ran around again. Softly said, "Dad, I didn't mean to...... Don't hit me ......"

Zhou You's heart was about to melt, so he hugged her and said, "I won't beat you, but what did you do?" ”

Paris sighed and said angrily, "You go to the backyard to see for yourself, and I'll go change my swimsuit and take a shower." ”

After passing through the hall of the villa, and entering the backyard, the backyard was called lively. The other small ones were there howling and crying, and in front of them was a collapsed castle of wet sand, and at the edge of the castle, there was a large pit in the shape of a human.

Seeing Zhou You come in with Zhong'an in his arms, a few little guys cried even more.

Zhongge is usually the one who relies most on Zhou You, and Zhongxuan and Zhongzhen prefer to be close to their mothers. Zhong'an and Zhongge's mothers are unreliable, Zhong'an has an independent personality, can be coquettish, can socialize, and has less need to travel. The Central Plains has the most contact with Zhou You, but his personality is relatively boring, and he doesn't talk much, so he won't be coquettish.

Zhongge is more afraid of his mother than close, so he is more attached to Zhou You, and now when he sees Zhou You coming in with Zhong'an, he cries even more. ran to Zhou You's side, hugged his legs, and cried a sad heart. "Dad, don't hug my sister...... Don't hug my sister, she's a bad sister. ”

Hearing Zhongge say that she was bad, and seeing a few little ones crying, Zhong'an stopped laughing, and she didn't know where she touched her tears, and she also cried.

Zhou You, one head and two big, squatted down, and hugged Zhongge in his arms. "What happened?"

He sobbed sadly and said, "Sister is bad, crushed our castle......"

A few servants quickly restored the matter. From her lunch break, Paris took her children to build a castle in the sandpit next to the pool. It took a whole afternoon to just pile up the castle and let the servants take pictures with their cameras.

But as soon as the men crouched in front of the castle, the bad Zhong'an jumped down the slide behind him, and the sand immediately buried Paris and the children in the sand.

Knowing what happened, Gracia didn't care that Zhong'an was also crying, and immediately snatched her from Zhou You's arms. "Dad promised not to beat you, but I didn't."

slapped her little ass a few times, and told her not to cry, admitting her mistake to her sister and two younger brothers. Zhong'an cried sadly at this time, but no one felt sorry for her, and Paris kept grimacing at her.

After stripping off a few small ones and putting on a swimming ring, Paris took them to play in the pool. But the sad Zhong'an was not finished, and was taken directly by Gracia to the storage room to close the small black room.
