After leaving Boston and returning to Los Angeles, Sun Ziming left the website to George Hemmer to prepare, and put all his mind on "Pirates of the South Seas".

The success of "Pirates of the Caribbean", in addition to the breathtaking undead ship special effects and pirate ship battle scenes, is actually the most important thing is the role of Captain Jack, otherwise the handsome combination of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley will not be able to support the whole film. Captain Jack's gothic-style down-and-out dress, some sissy movements, his seemingly decadent but never-give-up character, and of course, his ubiquitous cleverness and selfishness, all make people inexplicably fond of him. And if this role is played by Johnny? Depp came to act, Sun Ziming was not worried at all, but Fa Ge played it, which really made him scared.

Although Fa Ge lost the fat of his whole body and regained his youthful handsomeness at his request, he tried his best to imitate Johnny Depp's acting style. But after the film was made, seeing that everyone didn't laugh much when they should laugh, and leaned forward and backward when they shouldn't, Sun Ziming beat the drum in his heart, and even Fa Ge, who has always been optimistic, was very nervous.

From the preparation to the completion of this film, there have been disputes within the light and shadow company, if it weren't for Sun Ziming's prestige, maybe the leading actor would have been replaced. Although the film has not yet started filming, it has begun to make money, the theater chain has given 100 million pre-sales, and the insurance company has given a loan of 60 million, and the investment in the whole film is only 130 million. In other words, as long as this movie is made, no matter what the box office is, Light and Shadow can earn 30 million.

However, this is not the case, since Sun Ziming came to the United States to develop, which film has not been a box office hit? The big sale here does not refer to the simple high box office, but the extremely high ratio of investment to output, such as "Home/alone" invested 1.1 million and produced a box office of more than 260 million, which created today's myth of light and shadow! Now because of helping himself, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has become "Pirates of the South Seas", if the box office is a big hit, it will be fine, if the box office is not satisfactory, how can Fa Ge be embarrassed?

For Sun Ziming, it is another kind of worry, if this movie can't make Fa Ge really become a Hollywood first-line actor, then he really has no choice. In the future, when the actors of Hong Kong Light and Shadow Group and South Korea's Hangang Group come to Hollywood, it will really just come to gild and rub the red carpet.

…………

It's useless to worry, and finally came to the premiere of "Pirates of the South Seas", Sun Ziming and Fa Ge almost didn't bother to enjoy the film, but instead paid attention to the audience's reactions.

The story takes place in the legend that pirates were most active in Asia and the South Pacific. This vast sea is located in the Indian subcontinent, where the sea is blue, the sun is shining, and the sea is crystal clear.

Jack Chow is a young pirate active in this area, with his own "Black Pearl" pirate ship, and a group of black, white, and yellow people, anyway, they are a mess of men. For him, the most comfortable life is to sail the "Black Pearl" and take his group of soldiers like the International Legion, roaming the Indian Ocean, freely robbing passing ships.

Unfortunately, however, these days of leisure and freedom are finally over - he is deceived by the pirate leader Barbossa, and even his cherished "Black Pearl" pirate ship is stolen by Barbossa. Commanding a group of pirates, Barbossa is an all-evil villain, who not only robs his property, but also kills everyone on board.

Passing ships were terrified when they passed through the South Pacific, and they were most afraid of encountering Barbossa's gang. After robbing Jack's "Black Pearl" pirate ship, Barbossa became even more rampant, rampaging in the South Pacific, and became the hegemon of the entire South Pacific for a while.

As his power grows stronger, so does Barbossa's greedy ambition for immortality. He tries to unlock the secret of the legendary Cursed Gold Coin to immortalize himself, but unexpectedly he is cursed by evil - every full moon night, Barbossa and the rest of the crew of the "Black Pearl" will turn into skeletons, and will be abstinent from sex for life, unable to enjoy sex and food, or even walk normally.

Barbossa, who has turned into an undead skeleton, leads the "Black Pearl" in the South Pacific to be even more unscrupulous. Once, they sailed the ship into the port of Singapore and kidnapped the Governor's daughter, Elizabeth? Swann - because the girl wore a mysterious gold coin around her neck. Will Turner, a blacksmith apprentice with Elizabeth's childhood sweetheart, is filled with grief and anger when he sees his beloved girl captured by pirates. Coincidentally, Jack, who was once the captain of the "Black Pearl" pirate ship? Zhou was also imprisoned in the prison of this small seaside town because of his status as a pirate.

Will the blacksmith managed to rescue Jack from prison, and the two stole the Interceptor, the fastest warship in the British Royal Fleet. In order to save the girl Elizabeth whom Will loved, Jack drove the "Interceptor" warship to quickly chase the "Black Pearl" in order to recapture the "Black Pearl" that originally belonged to him.

The pirates thought that Elizabeth, who was wearing a mysterious gold coin, could help them unravel the mysterious spells on her body, and wanted to use her blood to cast sorcery. Just as the moment of the moment, Will the Blacksmith and Jack the Pirate drove up in the warship, and behind them, Norrington, the royal officer who was in pursuit of the warship. So, the pirates pulled up the "skull flag", Jack drew his pistol and sword, Will waved a broadsword, Norrington commanded his men to raise their spears, and a fierce battle ......between man and ghost began.

In the 140-minute movie, the audience goes from noisy to quiet, and then laughs, exclaims, and exclamations from time to time as the story unfolds, completely immersed in the movie, but this does not make Sun Ziming and Fa Ge feel relaxed. The people who can come to the premiere are either guests, film critics or professional fans, who may not be comfortable with a yellow person as the leading actor at the beginning of the film, but they will be moved by the wonderful story. However, ordinary movie fans are not necessarily, and they can ignore the yellow race to play the leading role, which does not mean that ordinary movie fans are the same. Racial discrimination, although everyone says that there is no such thing, it is ubiquitous. In this magical land of the United States, although the social status of the yellow race has begun to rise, it is still a third-class citizen who is not even as good as a black person, only a little higher than Mexicans and Latinos.

After the movie was over, there was applause and cheers in the theater, Sun Ziming and the main creative staff of the crew accepted everyone's congratulations, and immediately drove back to the company, waiting for feedback to the public relations department personnel of various theaters in the city. The success of Chinese theater only represents the recognition of film critics and professional film fans, and what is needed now is the recognition of ordinary movie fans.

At this time, in theaters throughout the greater Los Angeles area, audiences who had just finished watching "Pirates of the South Seas" also walked out of the screening hall while discussing.

'There are pirates in Asia, too?' Didn't they produce tea and porcelain? ’

'Phew, how did you get those skeletons?' ’

'Hey, why do I think Jack is a bit like Andy in Shawshank?' ’

'Well, it's a good film, I love it!' ’

‘Year! China Ming doesn't make bad movies! ’
