"The Curse of the Black Pearl" is another example of Sino-American cooperation, with the addition of two Chinese characters: Zhou Yunfa and Li Bingbing.

Zhou Yunfa was also invited by Chen Lin, and after reading the script, he felt very exciting, and was very interested in challenging the role of a pirate, so he readily agreed to make a cameo.

And Li Bingbing's mood is like a poor and scared person who suddenly won the 5 million lottery, and there is a feeling of being stunned by good luck.

She felt how lucky she was, there were several actresses in the company who were more famous than her, and the boss took a fancy to her and chose her to participate in Pirates of the Caribbean and she was also the number one female.

What a big opportunity this is, just look at Feng Shaofeng.

Since Feng Shaofeng played the Lord of the Rings elf prince, that guy was like taking a helicopter, rubbing ~~ and soaring into the sky.

Not to mention that his current salary for a single film is 10 million yuan, and there are no more than 10 people in the domestic film industry who are worth more than 10 million, and only Liu Dehua, Chen Long, Zhou Xingchi, and Tony Leung in Hong Kong have more than 10 million yuan.

And his TV series salary is 180,000 yuan per episode, which exceeds the company's internal artists Zhang Weijian's salary of 150,000, Nicholas Tse's 130,000, and Huang Xiaoming's salary of 120,000, and also exceeds the mainland superstar Chen Daoming's worth of 160,000 yuan to become the most valuable actor in domestic TV dramas.

In addition, his advertising endorsement fee has risen 100 times, from a small advertisement of 100,000 yuan to a major international brand of 10 million yuan.

Feng Shaofeng's real example told all the artists of Jade Emperor Entertainment that once you are selected by the boss to participate in international blockbusters, you should be ready to soar into the sky, red and purple.

Now this great opportunity has fallen on Li Bingbing's head, she knows that this is the boss's cultivation of her, she swears in her heart that she will perform hard and redouble her efforts, she knows that only this is the best way to repay the boss.

The press conference lasted two hours, and that evening Chen Lin took Johnny with him. Depp. Li Bingbing and some other crew members returned to Shanghai in China by plane.

Chen Lin rented a luxury apartment for Depp to live in, and at the same time instructed Li Bingbing to compensate him to look around in Shanghai first, and two days later everyone met to go to the shipyard to watch the launch of the Black Pearl.

Depp has been to China before, but that was 10 years ago, and when he saw the earth-shaking changes in China 10 years later, he called out "My God." ”

Depp had a lot of fun with beautiful women, visited many places in two days, and took no less than a thousand photos in the digital camera.

This is for Hollywood stars to really feel the rapid development of China, so much so that on the way to the shipyard with Chen Lin, they talked about the new things they saw in the past two days.

Chen Lin smiled without saying a word, and heard Depp talk non-stop along the way. The car drove for 1 hour and arrived at the dock by the port.

The captain's manager was waiting for them for a long time, Chen Lin, Depp, Li Bingbing and several accompanying bodyguards went to the dock accompanied by the captain's manager.

The shipyard occupies a large area, and it took five minutes for everyone to see the dock, when a black, 17th-century European-style antique brig came into view.

"Oh my God." Depp let out an exclamation when he saw the Black Pearl, and involuntarily quickened his pace and walked over.

The others hurriedly followed. When I walked up to the Black Pearl, I finally felt its ingenuity.

With a total length of 30 meters, the Black Pearl is the fastest ship in the Caribbean Sea in the film, and the whole ship is structurally well designed. The sleek hull and tremendous power made it extremely fast, and the ship was equipped with 32 16-pounder cannons, which was definitely well-equipped for its time.

Both the hull and sails are black. It is beneficial for it to hide at night and go deep behind enemy lines. This is also why in the first part of the movie, the Black Pearl can unknowingly touch Port Royal to attack.

Jade Emperor Jiahe Company did not hesitate to spend 30 million yuan this time. Modeled after the 17th-century style "Lady Washington", the antique brig built the Black Pearl.

After the Black Pearl was launched, it was loaded onto a container ferry from the upper seaport and arrived at the port of St. Vincent on the Caribbean coast, where the film was filmed.

At this time, the shipyard manager informed that the launching ceremony was about to begin, and invited Chen Lin, the buyer, to observe.

For every boat built, a simple launching ceremony is held at the shipyard, even if it's a special movie prop.

The ceremony is as simple as placing a pig's head, a fruit platter, lighting incense candles and firecrackers to worship the sea god to bless the ship with peace and smooth sailing.

"Crackling-" Amid the sound of firecrackers and the applause of thousands of shipyard workers, the Black Pearl slowly went into the water.

At this time, Chen Lin proposed to experience it on the ship, and the manager of the shipyard nodded in agreement, although the Black Pearl is a movie prop, it is completely built according to the real ship, and there is no problem with manned sailing.

Chen Lin, Depp, Li Bingbing and others boarded the Black Pearl with great interest.

The space on the ship was larger than expected, the upper and lower floors could accommodate 100 people, and the 32 16-pounder cannons on board were genuine except for the absence of shells.

In order to pursue impeccable authenticity, not only were the guns real, but weapons experts were also brought in to train the actors on how to manipulate the guns of the era. At the same time, the sailors on board are also real sailors hired for money.

After Chen Lin and the others visited the cabin, they came to the deck.

Everyone stood at the bow of the ship, facing the sea breeze, and the sound of the pirate flag fluttering in the wind overhead, and the skull knife and fork marks on it were particularly mysterious.

At this moment, Chen Lin and the others seemed to travel through time and space, placing themselves in the Age of Discovery, which lasted for hundreds of years.

"Ah~~" At this time, Depp suddenly shouted loudly, and this ingenious Black Pearl made him very excited: "Jason, this is my Black Pearl, it's amazing." ”

"Yes, this is your ship, Captain Jack."

"Hahaha, I have a hunch that this Caribbean shooting will be a very beautiful journey, I can't wait now, do you feel the same way?"

"I feel the same way, I have a very special feeling as soon as I stand on this ship, and I really want the film to start shooting as soon as possible, and officially our pirate journey."

"You're right, Jason I'll leave tomorrow and head to the Caribbean."

"Okay."

Originally, Chen Lin wanted to stay with Depp for a few more days, but seeing his excited appearance, his mind should have flown a long time ago, and he agreed to let him leave tomorrow.

The Black Pearl will also be loaded into containers tomorrow and set sail for the Caribbean port of St. Vincent.

The next day, Johnny. Depp, Li Bingbing and other crew members left Shanghai and flew to the Caribbean, where the filming took place. Chen Lin didn't follow, he went to visit the Hong Kong blue-blooded crew. (To be continued......)
