After discussion among the main creative staff, it was decided that the character and performance of the protagonist were crucial - this time Daniel really did not intend to be arbitrary, and chose to play Jack only according to his own understanding. One of the important reasons for Sparrow, of course, is that he has made Gore. Verbinski and Johnny. Depp is out, so Jerry and Robert's thinking about the characters is the only realistic way for him to refer to the original, and Daniel has always had respect for a hugely successful work. Even if there is a change, it needs to be based on the confidence that you can make it better, not become elusive.

In fact, Rob's suggestions and work on styling, sets, etc., differed only in detail from the original, because everyone agreed that Captain Jack should be different, and that the inherent image of a pirate was that of a broken hand and then replaced by an iron hook, wearing a huge exaggerated pirate hat, and of course, he had to be a one-eyed dragon, wearing a black dirty blindfold on his side, a scruffy beard, brutal, rude, and insidious. No, Jack wouldn't be like that, so Rob and the stylists created the image for Jack, including these elements that were very different from the modern aesthetic, drawn from the Indians, the tribes of the tropical islands, the thin braids, the colorful pirate suit, the face was added with a darker skin tone, and the eyebrows were twisted and peculiar.

However, there was no Depp's eyeshadow - really, it didn't suit Daniel, and Rob had a whimsical idea when trying it on, and in the discussion of how to design Daniel's face, eyeshadow was not a particularly difficult solution to think of, and they even thought of putting a small string of artificial black pearls on each of Daniel's eyebrows, or putting a gold thread on the forehead to the chin.

Of course, not much of all this whimsy was carried out in the end - it was an alternative captain, but not a clown, and just as he had to have a pirate captain's hat, he had to maintain a minimum image of a pirate, and one could not get the impression that it was a circus gala movie at first glance.

Then add a mustache that is trimmed very symmetrically.

It's Daniel's look like he's never looked before, but it's eye-catching and impressive—oh. This interesting pirate, he's special.

This image that was finally finalized, of course, convinced various departments such as directors, producers, leading actors, costume stylists, art directors, etc., in fact. In Daniel's opinion, at the moment this look is better than the original, and the original Captain Jack is really easy to make people smell Johnny. Some of Depp's personal tastes, starting with "Scissorhands", Tim. Burton and Johnny became Hollywood's most compatible duo – and they would always work together. 8 or 9. This fit planted Johnny with too much Tim. Burton's color, this weird, selfish, obscure character pervades many Johnny's characters, but in Captain Jack's case, most notably the pair of dark circles under his eyes, and the overly whimsical way of behaving.

During the original filming, Robert and Disney executives discussed Johnny's image — some thought he was gay, otherwise there was no way to explain him being so girly, and some said he might be drunk.

It is undeniable that this absurd and distinctive symbolic way has played an important role in shaping the image. But in Daniel's opinion. In a way, this also limits Jack. Sparrow's charisma, one of the future Nine Pirate Kings, captain of the Black Pearl, and a character who crisscrosses the Caribbean, is confined to this narrow characteristic.

It's not necessarily a good thing for Jack.

When Daniel was figuring out the role, he thought that a multi-personality approach might be more suitable for Jack. Sparrow, when he appears, has to be a down-and-out failed pirate leader, with a grotesque appearance and clever teasing that can make him likable. It can also show his depression. In the confrontation with Norrington and Governor Swan, Jack had to show the technical skills of a pirate king with great talent - which was the same as Jason. Byrne is kind of like, separating their professional and personal, that's an alternative agent. This is an alternative pirate, and the success of "Spy" can also be used as a reference. The original Johnny was too childish in his performance, fun enough and interesting, but not cool enough; And on the pirate island, in the prison, Jack also has to show his inner charm, and the fun of the moment can attract people. But he can't charm people, which Johnny does well, but Daniel will not be far behind.

Humor, alternativeness, and novelty are the keynotes, and the different qualities are filling, and the pursuit of freedom and self are the core.

That's a complete Jack. Sparrow - belongs to Daniel. Sandler's Jack. Sparrow, this is a very challenging character, definitely more than just a purely commercial film, its breakthrough design in characters and subject matter will provide space for Daniel's performance to impress audiences and professionals.

In fact, in Daniel's view, "Pirates of the Caribbean" was qualified to become a model of business and literature when it first came out.

Just like "Titanic".

But in the end, "Pirates" is still one step behind, and as he thinks, he blames Johnny for most of it. Depp, who limited Jack's breadth and depth in exchange for the character's outward simplification - something that impressed an audience with less appreciative abilities and felt like it was a remarkable portrayal.

And Daniel, who has a broader vision and no less talent, thinks they have to do the job - to make it more classic - which is the mission of Pirates of the Caribbean. This is also why Daniel pulled the screenwriter to go through some hard twists and forcibly promoted plots in the early stage, and Hollywood commercial films do not need to be exhaustive, but the classics must have no obvious ridiculous mistakes and omissions.

Daniel didn't discuss this idea with anyone else, and no one knew what he thought of Pirates of the Caribbean.

People think that he has done so much, participating in a very detailed preparation process, optimizing the script, recommending the filming location, special effects requirements, etc., just for his own performance reputation and investment returns, as well as preparing for a possible future producer career change, and learning how to be a producer from Jerry is a very rare opportunity.

This work has crossed over the past few months, throughout the promotional work for Spy and Greek Wedding, as well as the entire release of the latter, including the filming of The Impostor.

When Daniel arrived in San Pedro to start work, everything was ready as had been discussed in the past.

And he met Orlando for the first time. Bloom and Jeffrey. Rush, because he politely declined to audition for the two - they had already convinced Daniel with their performance in the film.

Orlando, who is fresh and fresh, is actually a young Englishman with a bad temper and a lot of playfulness, with Jewish ancestry, and it is difficult to say that such a slight blood advantage can really help him - because there are really too many Jews in Hollywood, except at critical moments like the Oscars, when the opponent is white or black.

So he was able to be chosen by Jerry, which was really due to fate in the dark.

After coming to the United States for so long, "God" and "God" every day, Daniel felt that he almost really wanted to believe in Christ God.

Orlando was still a little apprehensive when he faced Daniel.

Daniel is slightly two or three years younger than him, but in this crew, the difference between Daniel and him is basically across the Atlantic.

The gap between the lucky newcomer foreign supporting actor, and the 20 million club member, the second investor, the new superstar, and the absolute protagonist, is not too much to describe.

So he was a little restrained when he met Daniel.

Daniel assured that Orlando is not good at this kind of restraint, and his face and results have kept him at the top of his life in the past.

Given that he once "snatched" what may be the most well-known character in Orlando's life, "Legolas, the Elven Prince", Daniel is still willing to provide him with some help during the filming process.

The original Will. Turner is so non-existent that the whole movie is 90 percent Captain Jack, 5 percent Elizabeth, and the remaining 5 percent of the rest, and he's in the rest.

……

San Pedro is only 30 kilometers from Los Angeles, and after 911, it became a lot more lively because of its proximity to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, two important ports in the United States, and the most likely targets, so emergency services are very serious about it. The draft and vision of the port of San Pedro are much inferior, so Rob put some large-scale war scenes, that is, the scene where Norrington and the Black Pearl fight, in the South Bay.

Of course, Pirates of the Caribbean wasn't the first crew to come here, but they did make a big splash, and they expanded the seascape studio here, and many Caribbean-style props were transported here.

All this is ready before the arrival of the main actors.

That's the benefit of working with a successful, experienced producer, Jerry can do it all.

Miller drove Daniel to San Pedro, while the two Englishmen, Orlando and Kayla, came with the large group, and they couldn't afford Daniel's Porsche - he didn't have a plan, but Wolfgang expressed that hope through Collins, which was also reasonable.

If you soak my daughter, can't you still advertise Porsche? What's more, the limited edition Porsche 911, and there are also big discounts, there really shouldn't be any complaints. (To be continued.) )
