Chapter 699: Triangle
"We made it!"
Standing in Disney's office, Philip Bierman, who had stayed up all night, yelled excitedly at his men.
And his subordinates also threw various reports in their hands into the air to vent their excitement.
There is no way, because of the huge project of "Pirates of the Caribbean", a trilogy of continuous production, Philip Bierman and his team are under a lot of pressure within Disney.
- Even though the partner is Charlotte Booth, a super director who has never failed, and Robert Iger, the chairman of Disney Studios, supports it, but it is a super project after all.
Anyway, as long as Pirates of the Caribbean fails, Philip can leave the film industry.
So, even if it's not Philip who is really under pressure, he's not having a good time these days.
In particular, after the completion of the re-revision of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", a large part of the publicity work was done by Philip Bierman and his men.
This naturally made them even more nervous.
Fortunately, "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", like Charlotte Booth's previous films, was a huge success.
- No, it should be said that it is better!!
After all, on the first night of its release, it broke the box office record at midnight, which is definitely quite exaggerated.
Generally speaking, the high-grossing midnight box office is usually a sequel to some blockbusters, but "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is an out-and-out original movie.
"Maybe since Sherlock Holmes surpassed the $1 billion mark at the global box office, Charlotte Booth's box office appeal has increased again!"
Philip Bierman feels that every Charlotte movie has a sequel effect.
Of course, this is a good thing for Philip today......
In fact, it was not only Disney people who were celebrating, but even Charlotte herself, after getting up in the morning, was stunned when she saw the exaggerated midnight box office.
Then, naturally, it was his usual way of celebrating.
- Although his wife Charlize sometimes claims to be cold, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is as passionate as Charlotte's offensive......
In short, by the time the "celebration" is over, it is already afternoon, and a lot of film reviews about "Pirates of the Caribbean" have come out-
Among them, praise accounts for the vast majority.
After all, the quality of Pirates of the Caribbean 1 is really good, and Disney's promoters are not dry......
However, Charlotte was not very interested in general compliments, but it was a film review by Derek Ike in "Empire" magazine that made Charlotte find it somewhat interesting-
"Actually, I didn't want to give positive reviews until Pirates of the Caribbean was officially released!"
Charlize leaned into Charlotte's arms and read this movie review to her husband,
"It's not like I'm trying to find fault, in fact, I've seen the film at the previous internal preview of Pirates of the Caribbean. β
"By the standards of a commercial film, it's pretty good, but compared to Charlotte Booth's previous films, this movie doesn't feel like it's going beyond a cut. β
"At least, it doesn't go beyond the level of Sherlock Holmes. β
"Although stylistically, because of the presence of Johnny Depp's Captain Jack, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has a very unique style, but in terms of narrative and pacing, Charlotte Booth's performance on this film is not as perfect as in "Sherlock Holmes". β
Compared to the innovative narrative and reasoning of Sherlock Holmes, Pirates of the Caribbean is mediocre in this respect. β
"Well, I'll admit that this might be a bit demanding. However, when faced with a genius who is always creating miracles, film critics will be somewhat demanding. β
"So, my lack of praise is relative to Charlotte Booth's own level. β
"However, after watching the release version of Pirates of the Caribbean last night, I overturned my idea againβ"
"Charlotte Booth actually sped up the pace of the early stages of the film again to enhance the special effects scenes. β
Then, his special effects scenes don't exist in isolation β they blend perfectly with the narrative. β
In this regard, even Charlotte Booth's own previous films have mostly failed to do this. And this time, he did it perfectly. β
"I can't help but praise him. β
"You know, compared to those special effects that are purely made for the scene, this kind of special effects that perfectly integrate with the narrative is really eye-catching......"
At this point, Charlize paused.
"I remember this Derek has always been a fan of your movies, right?"
The girl leaning on Charlotte's chest looked up and asked,
"What he said this time is so good, has he finally changed his position?"
"Probably not!"
Charlotte shook her head,
"I guess some of my last changes to "Pirates of the Caribbean" this time are very much in line with the taste of film critics!"
"Like I played ugly in 'The Witch Devil'?"
"Almost!"
Charlotte nodded,
"Although I didn't make this revision for them, the critics...... There is always some self-righteousness. β
β......β
Although Charlotte said it very politely, Charlize had to admit that what he said did make sense.
In contrast, Jenny, who played the heroine for the first time, was not as calm and relaxed as Charlotte.
This girl tossed half a night of food yesterday and barely fell asleep, and after seeing the box office results of the midnight stall today, she began to flip through various movie reviews-
According to Jenny's agent, this kind of box office performance, the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is already inevitable, and Jenny only needs to focus on how much benefit she can get from it.
Fortunately, although the most eye-catching in the movie is Johnny Depp's Captain Jack, Will Turner and Elizabeth Night have received a lot of praise -
"Will Turner's style seems to be right compared to Captain Jack, who is rambling and uniquely styled, but when he gets along with Captain Jack, he always feels like a smiling man - in a way, it's more interesting than pure funny. β
Richard Manson, who has always been good at evaluating actors' acting skills, wrote an article commenting,
And as a newcomer, Elizabeth's actor Jenny is also amazing - Elizabeth exudes a charming eccentricity and wild charm. β
And the rarest thing is the kind of spark she exudes when she gets along with Will Turner and Captain Jack. β
"It's not a love triangle story, butβ"
