Chapter 73: She'scute

After the tone of the overall movie is accepted by the audience, as long as the next plot is not very brainless and outrageous, and can barely make sense in the case of qualified rhythm, the audience will not continue to play, but will be immersed in the selling points of the movie, for example, Captain Jack's nonsensical flickering, the style of jumping back and forth between the serious and the absurd to promote the plot, and the excitement mixed with funny fights, can make the audience full of interest, ignoring the time passed, and a small burst of laughter in the theater from time to time, Sometimes there is also a whispered discussion. Baidu: Real name + - Some viewers are still uncertain about the relationship between Elizabeth and Will and Captain Jack.

Captain Jack is the starring role, and emotional scenes are arranged according to convention, but in the first meeting, that is, in the rivalry scene where Captain Jack rescues Elizabeth and kidnaps her to escape in a blink of an eye, Captain Jack and Elizabeth do not show any emotional attraction to each other, but have a feeling of 'deceit'. Elizabeth spoke for Jack at first, but after Jack held her hostage, she was obviously annoyed, and she was looking for an opportunity to break free from Jack's hostage, but she saw through it for Jack one by one.

Seeing Elizabeth trying to trip over Jack, but instead was tripped by Captain Jack and stumbled, almost falling into the water again, Jack shrank behind her and bent □ the water, everyone's guns shifted, and the Governor was so nervous that he even shouted not to make a move, Roger couldn't help but chuckle, "Seriously ridiculous, interesting." Johnny and Jennifer are emotionally coordinated and very mellow in this scene, which should be the result of many exercises, and it can be said that there is also a spark between them - a spark of confrontation. ”

"If Will is her loyal follower, then Jack is a formidable enemy who can compete with her, which is also the usual method of expressive sexual tension in film and television dramas, will there be a love triangle later? I hope not, it would be too cheesy. Kenneth's eyebrows furrowed slightly. For a film with such a theme, the love scene cannot dominate. ”

Soon, Jack managed to escape, and ushered in an action scene with Josh, this fight was funny, and it ended very abruptly, and it was full of exclamations and laughter - although so far, the audience has not been given much information, and it feels like the main plot has not fully unfolded, and the pace seems to be a little slow, but as long as it is always interesting and eye-catching, many people actually don't mind this.

After Jack was imprisoned, the Black Pearl, which had been mentioned before, finally made an official debut, and when Captain Jack first appeared, many people speculated that he was the captain of the Black Pearl, but he lost his ship for some reason. And the Black Pearl lived up to the expectations of the audience, as soon as it appeared, it bombarded the port majestically, landed and plundered, which was completely a ferocious pirate style.

Although civilians began to fall at this time, the picture of Captain Jack and others trying to escape from the dog in prison tried to take the key from the dog's mouth, which greatly diluted the tension and seriousness, and still maintained a generally pleasant and relaxed viewing atmosphere.

At the same time that this secret was gradually revealed, Elizabeth, who was in the governor's mansion, also sensed the crisis, and the pirates shouted for the mansion, and it seemed that their invasion of the mansion was inevitable. After the butler was killed, the mansion was breached in an instant, and although Elizabeth fled in all directions, she was still blocked in the cloakroom after many funny details.

Through the crack in the cabinet door, Elizabeth could see the two pirates searching around the room, and when she heard them offer the 'gold coin', she took out her gold coin necklace and stared at it for a moment, revealing the expression that seemed to be evil, but this time she came to her senses in an instant.

“think。” She whispered to herself, suddenly reaching out frantically and inserting her hair into her hair for a while, her facial features tangled, revealing a vivid expression of collapse, "Think, Elizabeth." ”

After the surreal chase and the curse of the gold coin, there was suddenly such a realistic life-like crazy expression, although it was just an ordinary shot, there was nothing to set off, but this detail still aroused a lot of audience laughter, "OhmyGod, She'sfun." ”

The camera has been giving Elizabeth a close-up, when her expression is slowly lit up by hope, when she raises her head, the camera turns, and the audience finds that the two pirates have already opened the cabinet door, standing in front of Elizabeth and waiting for her to come back to her senses, watching her raise her head, one of them grinned toothily, the other winked at her, and there was a chuckle in the theater. Kenneth also laughed and shook his head, "Cheesy, but useful." ”

"Here you are, little darling." Just now in the fight was used by Elizabeth to warm. Said the skinny pirate with a hot bed, salivating and reaching for Elizabeth.

But Elizabeth rolled her eyes, and instead raised her head and chest, revealing a reserved expression of a lady, and her conversation was unusually elegant, "Good evening, gentlemen." Since the meeting is inevitable, I'm afraid I'll have to ask Parley. ”

Seeing her wearing tattered clothes and pretending to be a big lady with a bird's nest on her head, this repeatedly brewing face-changing laugh made another meritorious service, watching Elizabeth in the movie use the Parley Codex, as if she was very good at fooling the two pirates, and the two rough pirates were so stunned that they even began to use ' Milady' came to call her, and the audience was nervous and amused, and when the group of three stepped out of the mansion, a pirate opened the door for her first, and made a gesture of respect, and finally burst into laughter in the movie theater.

“ohmygod,she’sfun!” Lena, a lucky viewer who drew tickets for the premiere, wiped her tears and sighed with her friend who had just met next door, both of whom were Johnny. Depp's fans, that's why they participated in the lottery, of course, they also hit it off at first sight and quickly chatted.

“toldyou。” The first person to say this was Nicky, who had a crush on Elizabeth earlier, "Come to think of it, we were worried that the movie would be boring. ”

After a brief exchange of views, the two of them were back to watching, and now for them, there was very little garbage time for the whole film. Having Jack appear is of course their happy time, but the handsome Josh and the funny and beautiful Elizabeth also make them full of affection, and they don't find the plot they lead boring at all.

"That scene just now is very powerful." Kenneth has a deeper perspective on this scene, "She needs to deal with three emotions at the same time - panic at the bottom, wrestling at the middle* and camouflage at the top, and it's not easy to explain this series of emotional changes in an orderly manner in the staggered cameras, but Jennifer does a good job." Of course...... This also has the credit of the editors. ”

The first few sets of shots are interspersed with the performance of Elizabeth constantly looking for an opportunity to fight back while fooling the two pirates, and at the same time using her elegant performance to cover up the flaws, and after several temptations, she did not find an opportunity, so she left with the pirates. The emotional changes during these face changes are more layered than the previous face changes, panic, reluctance and fighting thoughts are all expressed through the muscle movements on one face, and they can also be convincing under the exaggerated interpretation required by the style, making people laugh rather than making people play, which shows that Jennifer at least has more than average acting skills.

"In comparison, Josh's acting skills seem to be a little monotonous, his expression is not as vivid as Jennifer's, and it can be said that his acting skills are shallower." Roger is also thinking about the performance of the actors in this play, "And Jennifer has reached the level where she can have a play in her eyes, alas, this is the characteristic of an actress, who always matures faster than a male actor." ”

In the fierce fight, Will noticed that Elizabeth was kidnapped, of course he wanted to save his sweetheart, and the movie was officially divided into two lines, one line is Elizabeth's experience on the Black Pearl, and the other is Will and Jack's efforts to rescue Elizabeth and find the Black Pearl.

The audience was also fully engaged, applauding Captain Jack's creative and cunning strategy of stealing the ship—a ridiculous but clever and, above all, hilarious, and then a terrifying inhalation of Elizabeth's aboard the Black Pearl, which would turn to laughter from time to time. - Elizabeth's several fights with Captain Barbossa on the Black Pearl, although the main purpose is to explain the plot, but Elizabeth's playful character has not changed, for example, when she negotiated with Barbossa, at first she arrogantly used the attitude of the eldest lady to exchange gold coins for the safety of the port, but when Barbossa asked her identity, Elizabeth, who realized that her strategy was wrong, immediately shrunk her shoulders, imitating the maid's cowering appearance, and humbly claimed that she was just "Elizabeth, the maid of the Doge's Palace. Turner".

"I thought you were a young lady!" The one-eyed pirate who had a 'milady' just now shouted indignantly, which also sparked laughter.

There are such funny details of the dialogue, horror and absurdity are smoothly combined, the audience is sometimes frightened, sometimes laughing, when seeing the pirates turn into skeletons in the moonlight, the realistic special effects even let a few screams in the theater, but soon, this terrifying atmosphere is so frightened that Elizabeth runs around, and on the way, the funny scene of snatching a skeleton's arm and fighting with pirates in the way is ruined, and laughter resounded in the theater.

“she’scute!” Nicky was already quite involved in the plot, so Lena didn't bother her, but thought to herself, "Andpretty! I'd like to see more of her performances...... Let's look for information when we get back. ”

"Well, Wibinski's aesthetic taste has grown by leaps and bounds in this film." Kenneth couldn't help but acknowledge the highlights of the film, "Look, her deep purple dress and blonde hair are circling around the pirate ship, and there are a few shots that are really picturesque." ”

In the following plot, Elizabeth's scenes gradually decreased, but Barbossa, Jack and Will gradually increased, but this did not affect the audience's interest in watching the movie, because - hell, each part is still full of fun, Jack's repeated defections without discipline, childlike switching sides, and the mystery of Will's life all attract their attention.

However, this does not mean that the audience has lost interest in Elizabeth, they still maintain their feelings about Elizabeth's beauty, in several shots, Elizabeth's beauty is like an oil painting, especially the conversation between her and Will revealing her life experience under the lamp, both men and women are today's top appearances, even middle-aged audiences who have passed the age of dreaming feel that this is a very eye-catching feast for the eyes.

"I'm sorry that the blacksmith's hands are so rough." Will said a little uncomfortably, his brown hair slipped a few strands, creating a shadow in front of his eyes, making his eyes brighter, the chiaroscuro of the whole picture stronger, and the atmosphere more oppressive.

"It's not like you need to stop." Elizabeth also lost her previous eccentricity, and she looked at Will affectionately, as if she wanted all words to be spoken through her eyes.

Both of them fell silent, Elizabeth took Will's hand and leaned towards her chest, the beauty and ambiguity of this scene aroused the gasps of the female audience, whether it was Nicky or Lena, a thought passed through their hearts at the same time, "They look so compatible, they feel so good!" ”

Since the film is halfway through and there is no interaction between Jack and Elizabeth, the audience has initially affirmed that the emotional line of this movie only exists between Elizabeth and Will, and they have begun to put aside their feelings to like the couple, and they are eagerly looking forward to the opportunity for the two to go further. - The style of this film has built up confidence in the audience that the protagonist will not die, and it should be said that it will be a happy ending.

Most viewers still want to see comedy, which makes them more appreciative of the professionalism of the naval battles that followed, and of course, the funny details interspersed with it.

After a complicated dispute, Will, whose identity is revealed, is captured by Barbossa's gang, and Elizabeth is exiled to the sandbar where the captain was exiled along with Captain Jack. Jack seemed to have lost all his fighting spirit, and only wanted to drink the rum, and Elizabeth, in the midst of a helpless argument, glanced at the bottle in her hand and made a very classic expression that had appeared many times before - a smile but not a smile, and with a roll of her eyes, it was obvious that she had an idea.

"Clever girl." Roger is now also in the plot, he touched his lips, "I guess they're going to have an interesting rivalry next." ”

Sure enough, Elizabeth's clever words and persuasion of Jack to drink are also very interesting, the two of them are singing like crazy without any image for a while, and then they are very realistic and affectionate, talking sweet words to each other.

"When I first saw you, I was sure." Jack's hand took Elizabeth's shoulder, "You fell in love with me at first sight. ”

Elizabeth obediently leaned into Jack's arms, rolling her eyes and saying sweetly, "Oh, Jack, you're embarrassing a lady." ”

The audience couldn't help but laugh - although Jack was clearly acting on the scene, and Elizabeth had another purpose, they couldn't help but admit that the two of them were acting in a way that was not funny. However, compared to these little jokes, the audience's attention is now more focused on the plot, and everyone is looking forward to how the current situation will end.

"In the end, it still depends on his three-inch tongue." Kenneth is still not very satisfied with the plot, except for the occasional amusement of the highlights, most of the time he is patient, but in the final big □, he still cheers up, "Jack is indeed a little clever at the right time, well, the scene of the skeletons raiding from the bottom of the sea is also very creative, and they finally use this feature." ”

In 2003, such realistic special effects were already a very selling point, and although they were very short-lived, they were still a great thrill for the audience. What's more, compared to brainless action movies, the war in "Pirates of the Caribbean" has always been very strategic, from the very beginning when Jack stole the ship, to the later when he did not hesitate to steal the cursed gold coins in order to have the advantage of immortality, and the mutual calculation between him and Barbossa, although full of joy, it is indeed based on strategy, not simply by force to win. This is also a kind of enjoyment for some viewers with good brains.

"Well, did you finally come up with a theme at the end?" When Elizabeth asks Jack's crew to 'hell with the Codex', Kenneth ponders, "Are pirates greedy and cold-blooded animals like Barbossa, or romantic and chivalrous representatives like Jack?" But this theme is a bit barely ......"

Roger didn't have the same persistence as Kenneth, but focused on appreciating the interesting details, including the vivid group portraits of the characters, as well as interesting combat details, such as the use of pirates who would turn into skeletons in the moonlight, and the characteristics of * in the shadows, blowing up a group of skeletons, and the duel between the governor and one hand, etc., of course, there are beautiful close-ups of Elizabeth and Will from all angles.

When all the battles are over and the curse is lifted, Jack, who has saved everything, falls to the point of being hanged, but before he dies, Elizabeth finally confesses his heart to Will, and Commodore Norrington also has the beauty of an adult, the flying parrot hints at the arrival of the Black Pearl, and the cunning Captain Jack escapes again - before leaving, he also takes advantage of Elizabeth.

When Elizabeth and Will looked at each other affectionately on the lookout where Commodore Norrington proposed at that time, the feelings that had been brewing through a whole film finally broke out, and Elizabeth, who had always been 'cheeky', finally felt shy, her eyes drifted, her lips pursed, and even her facial features were wrinkled with nervousness, but Will's affectionate gaze and smile did not change at all.

The faces of the two slowly approached, Elizabeth's expression slowly calmed down, she looked at Will happily and affectionately, a touching smile appeared on her beautiful face, and in a large shot of the long shot, the lips of the two finally kissed together......

"Oh!" Lena was so moved that she covered her chest, and Nicky on one side also made a small strange noise—a voice that girls tend to make when they are very moved. "Although Norrington is a little pitiful, this ending is so beautiful, so beautiful."

"All aspects are quite good, the details are well done, the beginning and the end echo each other, the subplots are well connected, the chaos is orderly, and the progression of the relationship between the characters is also clear. Will and Jack's relationship has been twisting and turning, and the relationship between Will and Elizabeth, Elizabeth and Jack has been deepening in clever and thorough and absurd twists and turns...... Well, this should be a good work, and I think the market reaction can at least pay off. "Roger didn't pay much attention to the end of this typical commercial film, and only spent half of his energy on watching." I'll give a thumbs up. ”

Kenneth was also thinking about how to write his film review, "Elizabeth is indeed a highlight, which is undeniable, and now it seems that Disney chose her wisely, it can be said that the actors in this film are all good, the weakest point is Will, but she also completed her role well." But the director has a big problem, the pace is too long and slow, of course, the small characters are vividly portrayed, but the number seems to be too much...... I want to know Jennifer. Jefferson's professional background, I remember that her performance in CSI was completely different from that of Elizabeth today, in addition to the character of the character, the acting style was also very different, which was surprising for the girl's age......"

In addition to the crew, film critics, and invited guests, most of the hundreds of audience members in the theater were selected through various activities, and they did not think as much as the film critics, but gave themselves affirmation with enthusiastic applause and cheers. Maybe "Pirates of the Caribbean" lacks substance, maybe the theme is not clear, maybe the pace is a little slow, but it is funny, the details are rich, and the actors are very charismatic, whether it is funny, special effects, love, war or a very personalized, cool protagonist, it is what the audience wants to see. They had a pleasant two hours, and of course they had to repay the crew with a round of applause.

"Great performance, Johnny."

"I'm so happy for you, Vanessa, I saw the picture of the baby, she's so - but - love."

After the film was shown, Disney of course prepared a party for the opening ceremony of the stars, company executives and crew, and after a brief speech by producer Jerry, the guests walked back and forth in the venue, talking about various topics. - Of course, most of the conversation revolved around Pirates of the Caribbean, after all, after the premiere, the crew wanted to hear from the audience.

"What is the box office estimate? No, I can't give an answer right now, you know it's a complicated question......" spoke to media analysts from investment institutions. "Yes, more data is needed...... But in terms of my personal experience, I'm very satisfied......"

Although the opening reception was relatively grand, the atmosphere at the venue was not very exciting, which was also due to the extremely popular 'release anxiety' among the crew and even the production company. With the film coming out in a week's time, no one knows what the box office performance will be, and while the reviews from audiences and most critics today are relatively positive, there are also many well-received films that have received a fiasco of boos in the market. At this time, no amount of good signals is enough, and the parties are always uneasy in their hearts, and the more they have to bear the box office, the more worried they are that the attempt will fail.

After a few brief post-opening interviews, Jenny, the only one in the audience who wasn't worried about the box office, immediately returned to the reception, listening to Judy's in-ear tips and glancing at the executives who needed attention to say hello. Although there are no unspoken rules in Hollywood, or at least at her current level, good interpersonal relationships are of course always beneficial and harmless to a star.

"Hi Mr. Henryl, nice to meet you......"

"Ah, Elizabeth, you're very attractive in the film......"

Judy and Mary followed left and right, halfway around the venue, and Jenny felt that she was almost exhausted, but of course, it was good to note that most of the praise she received.

"Hello, Miss Jefferson." From time to time, people stop her to express their appreciation, such as the young man at the moment, "I just want to say that you are very charming in the film - honestly, I can't wait to use my relationship to get a copy of the master tape so that I can replay some of your clips again and again." ”

Jenny looked at Judy, who shook her head slightly, "Thank you very much for admiring, mr-"

"Mogill." The young man smiled confidently and stepped forward to shake Jenny's hand, "Benjamin. Mogill, I'm a small investor and a friend of Mike's. ”

He said that Mike, should be Disney CEO Michael. Eisner.

"Ok, Mr. Mogill—" said Jenny.

"Call me Benjamin." Benjamin made no secret of his interest in Jenny, his eyes fixed on her.

"OK, Benjamin." Jenny didn't need to be too smart to know that Eisner couldn't possibly invite a nobody to the premiere, so she followed Benjamin's words and said, "Of course you can call me Jennifer — thank you so much for the compliment, I think I can count on you to give us a little more box office." ”

"Of course." Benjamin grinned, "You can definitely count on me — in fact, I want to tell you that I'm a big fan of yours in New York, and I almost do it three nights a week with your Chicago." ”

"Wow." Jenny smiled and winked at Judy, feeling like she had met Stalker.

Judy stepped forward knowingly, "Mr. Mogill, if you don't mind, Jenny and-"

"Can you give us a minute?" Mogill made a pitiful look at Judy, "Just for a minute? ”

Judy couldn't be too tough on him because of his status, so he had to step aside in a sneering manner, and Mogill motioned for Jenny to walk with him to the edge of the room, and Jenny could only barely keep her smile smiling, but could only comply without disrupting the social atmosphere.

"That's right, Jennifer—Miss Jefferson, and though it's offensive, I have to say that I was surprised when a friend of mine, who knew I liked you, told me you were applying for a loan." Mogill said that while he was humble in his words, his expression had nothing to do with humility, and instead he confidently maintained eye contact. "Of course, I know that young actresses often have some financial crises, but IMHO, a beautiful young lady shouldn't have such worries...... I am very willing to solve your problems, even if you want to pick the moon in the sky, I will contact NASA, as long as you say a word, I can solve it for you. ”

Jenny smiled, "Ah, Mr. Mogill, thank you very much for your appreciation, but, again—"

"Talk to Mike about me, talk to your agent." Benjamin held out his hand to her and motioned for her to shake her goodbye. "Don't be in a hurry to refuse."

With a mysterious smile, he left.
