Chapter 459: A Blockbuster Strikes
PS: xiexie ruthless feather and lonely care reward!
On July 9, 2003, the Chinese Grand Theater in New York once again attracted the attention of the whole Shijie.
The most famous theater in Hollywood and even in Shijie today ushered in the premiere of the magical masterpiece "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Disney has an extraordinary influence in the American entertainment industry, so countless celebrities have received invitations to attend the premiere and walk the red carpet at this ceremony.
As the first and second leading actor in the movie, Johnny. For the first time, Depp and Choi Jung-won stepped on the red carpet at the same time.
Because there is only one heroine in "Pirates of the Caribbean", the other supporting roles are not enough to partner with the two male leads. So Gore came up with the brilliant idea of having three lead actors appear together.
Kayla in a light blue evening dress. Knightley held the arms of the two male leads, walked slowly on the red carpet with a smile, and murdered countless films.
Charismatic Johnny. Depp, the noble and handsome Choi Jung-won, and the temperamental Kayla. Knightley, as soon as the three leading actors appeared, it aroused the greatest enthusiasm of the onlookers.
The cheers began with their appearance and continued until they entered the theater at the end of the interview.
It shows how strong the expectations for the film were, and how effective the crew's month-and-a-half-month global campaign was.
Unlike the Asian film industry, which likes to have a lot of interviews and interactions before the movie starts, Hollywood gets straight to the point.
Usually after the premiere of the movie, a thank-you reception is held to entertain the guests and facilitate socializing.
Sitting in the first row, Cui Zhengyuan's mood was still very excited.
In his two lives, he had watched every part of "Pirates of the Caribbean", but he watched it alone at home in a home theater.
It is not possible to go to the cinema, and the nature of his work dictates that he does not have so much time.
The dailies I saw in the editing room before were just loose films. There is no character dialogue and no sound effects, so it looks naturally discounted.
The movie was a success. There have been no negative changes due to the change of one of the leading actors.
Or it can be said that the strength of the Disney company and the directorial kilometers of Gore are beyond doubt.
Johnny. The perfect performances of Depp and Choi Jung-won, as well as Jeffrey. Rush is old and strong, showing a wonderful scene.
The outstanding performance of these three people overshadows the other characters in the film. At least Cui Zhengyuan noticed that during the movie, Kayla next to him kept biting her lip and staring at the big screen.
As an idealistic and ambitious actor, no one wants their roles to be as brilliant as others.
Can't compare to Johnny. Depp and Jeffrey. Forget about Rush's old drama bones, even Cui Zhengyuan, who starred for the first time, pressed her head.
It would be strange if Kayla could be happy.
Also haode is dimly lit in the cinema. In addition, the movie is so exciting, so except for Choi Jung-won, no one notices Kayla's unswervingness.
Otherwise, maybe tomorrow the newspaper will see the news of the pirate crew's infighting.
Returning to the screening of the movie, originally as the plot progressed, the audience thought that it was an action blockbuster that recreated medieval pirates.
Therefore, some people can't help but start muttering in their hearts, where does the magic come from?
Among the many promotional activities, many of the trailers have been announced. But about the core part of the film, Gore has been very secretive.
Since people can't guess the plot. It also makes people suspect that this movie is suspected of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.
But when the crew of the Black Pearl and Captain Barbossa transformed into skeletons under the moonlight's astonished gaze from Elizabeth, the audience erupted in exclamation.
As the plot unfolds further. The origin of the Aztec gold coins and the curse on the Black Pearl form a thread throughout.
A deceitful Caribbean pirate, a hypocritical and ruthless British colonist.
The absence of faith and honor, the harsh living environment and the greed for wealth.
The unique pictures of that era are vividly reproduced in front of people, and the significance of a deep understanding of an era far exceeds the audience's expectations for the film itself.
When the scene of zuihou fell, the theater was full of applause.
All the main creative staff of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew. took the stage collectively and took a curtain call for half an hour before the premiere ended perfectly.
Happy Gore is like a child. With champagne in hand, he drenched everyone over. Not to be outdone, others fought back.
By Zuihou, the premiere scene turned into a huge carnival party. Everyone, young and old, had a blast.
Cui Zhengyuan also let go of his calm, grabbed a bottle of champagne in one hand, and ran from one side to the other without letting anyone go.
Later, he even rushed to the audience, and in a curse, sprayed champagne as a high-pressure water gun.
This completely chaotic scene, and some reporters' cameras were drenched. Enraged, the men also found Champagne to join the warband.
While I was proud of the scene I had created, the back collar was suddenly pulled open, and the bottle of champagne was poured in.
Well, not only is there alcohol on the head, but even the inside of the pants has become washed.
was attacked by someone, Cui Zhengyuan turned back to look for the enemy, and happened to see Kayla. Knightley was holding the empty bottle and looking at his joke.
With an evil smile, Cui Zhengyuan immediately rushed over, bound to catch this goblin for revenge.
As early as when Choi Jung-won's face became weird, Kayla sensed that something was wrong. But she was wearing an evening dress and high heels, and she couldn't run fast if she wanted to.
In two steps, Cui Zhengyuan caught up, pulled open the upper part of the evening dress, and returned the color in the same way.
It's just that this time caught Cui Zhengyuan off guard, and his face suddenly became anxious.
In order to bring out the figure of the evening dress, Kayla's inside is completely vacuum.
The deep V-neck of the evening dress had already slightly exposed a proud cleavage, and when he pulled it, his entire chest was immediately unreserved. Inadvertently, Cui Zhengyuan did a salty wet guy.
"Kayla, I'm sorry, I ...... I...... I didn't mean to. Cui Zhengyuan raised his hands. Panicked and vigorous.
But Kayla had gone crazy and apparently didn't care about his misdeeds. Rushed up and grabbed him by the neck, his lake-like eyes full of smiles. "Lance, how is my figure? Did it make you feel excited? ”
The two of them were close at hand, and as Kayla spoke, the scent of blue musk came to her face.
Kayla's movements were so big that her whole body was sticking up. In order to stand firm, Choi Jung-won also had to hold her willow waist to keep her balance. "It's ...... Very well, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful British woman as you. ”
Cui Zhengyuan's praise makes women very applicable. Leaned over and kissed him on the lips. Then they pushed him away and snatched the champagne from his hand. "Haha, Lance, though I admit you're pretty charming. But you're too small, and your kissing skills are too bad, not my ideal type. ”
She was talking about the kiss scene between two people in the movie. There were a total of forty-eight NG times in that scene, and each time it was caused by Cui Zhengyuan's unqualified work.
Frustrated, he stood there and watched Kayla sneak past from behind. Johnny will be ready to go into hiding. Depp poured a chicken in the soup.
"Grandma's, is it wrong to grow small? Brother is an innocent and handsome guy, how can he stand you open European and American Yanmar. After suffering a loss in action, Cui Zhengyuan had no choice but to fight back in his heart.
After the premiere. When it was released in the United States and Europe the next day, the reviews of the major movie-related media were freshly released.
There is no doubt that no matter who says it, there can only be a lot of praise for "Pirates of the Caribbean".
At a time when all the movies are trying to show the high-tech liliang. This slightly retro movie theme is completely like a dark horse full of momentum.
The logic of the plot is rigorous, and the conception is ingenious and exciting. The actors' acting skills are superb, the director's skills are profound, and the special effects are realistic and shocking.
The elements that a commercial blockbuster should have, "Pirates of the Caribbean" are not lacking.
In this way, if it does not succeed, then there is no heavenly reason.
In the first week of its release, the movie swept $37 million at the box office in North America, directly reaching the top of the list.
Not only that, but this data is constantly soaring. It can be expected that by the time the movie is taken off the shelves, the final box office will definitely not be less than 300 million.
This is what Gore revealed to Choi Jung-won during the small talk.
When talking about this achievement, Gore's face is full of pride.
The box office exceeded 100 million, which means that he has officially stepped into the ranks of top directors.
But Choi Zhengyuan knows the real situation, the original history, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" in North America box office is about 305 million US dollars, and the global box office is as high as 650 million US dollars.
The profit margins were quite high, which also prompted the Disney Company to speed up preparations for the second and third sequels.
In this life, I have my own participation, and I dare not say what impact it will have on the North American box office. But I believe that the global box office figures will definitely be higher than the original history.
If nothing else, Asia alone will contribute a large part of Liliang.
After all, compared to Orlando. Bloom came, and his popularity in Asia is definitely not comparable.
His guess proved to be quite accurate.
In the second week, the North American box office rose to $41 million. Compared to the previous week, the increase is okay.
But as the world premiere began, a crazy scene arrived. The UK market, along with the Asian market and the Australian market, jointly contributed $137 million.
Don't underestimate this number, you must know that the premiere data of the just-hit "Lord of the Rings" in the global market are not as gorgeous as "Pirates of the Caribbean".
All in all, only the $156 million of "Titanic" is slightly higher.
The second-highest first-week record at the global box office in history made Disney's executives happy.
In addition to Disney, there is no one who is most excited than the Korean media.
The first artist in the country's history to star in a Hollywood movie has set the second-highest box office record in history, which is certainly worth mentioning.
As a result, the scene when Choi Jung-won won the Grammy Rookie Award reappeared again, and this time he performed even crazier.
Even some people who have lost their minds loudly announced that the golden age of South Korea's entertainment industry has arrived.
With Cui Zhengyuan's way out, more people will go abroad and become shijie-level superstars.
They don't care, in fact, the main reason for the success of this movie is that Disney's promotional planning is done well. Depp's Captain Jack is charismatic, and objective factors such as the special effects and subject matter of the movie are likable.
To be honest, there is no problem with Choi Jung-won's acting skills. But he played Will. Turner is not a man who can influence the film.
It's just that at this time, even he, the person concerned, is not capable of extinguishing the blind optimism that has emerged in South Korea. (To be continued......)
