"First of all, in my process of convincing the board, you need to test the attitude of the rest of the crew towards shooting a sequel right away. ”

Robert Egger said to Philip Bierman,

"Once I've managed to convince the board, the negotiations can start and even finish quickly – so that our continuous shooting plan can make sense. ”

“...... Alright!"

Philip Bierman eventually took on the task of finding the way.

That's why he has a headache right now.

Because of this tentative work, the first person to ask is naturally the director Charlotte.

As a result, Charlotte's answer was very interesting -

"If I can complete all the negotiations before the post-production of the first film starts, or even before the end of shooting, I can start shooting the second and third parts directly, I am willing to direct, otherwise ......"

- Otherwise, Charlotte didn't say anything, but Philip Bierman naturally knew it.

This also means that Disney must not only resolve internal disputes as soon as possible and determine the three-part continuous production plan, but also quickly complete negotiations with other actors.

- One of the two can't be completed, and the filming plan of "Pirates of the Caribbean" may be in vain.

"Let's hope Mr. Egger succeeds!"

Now, Philip Bierman can only bless his immediate boss like this.

And he himself is going to do another job that Charlotte has asked for-

A huge sink in Rosarito, Mexico.

This sink was excavated by James Cameron when he was filming "Titanic", and it is very suitable for filming some sea scenes where you can see the hull of the ship.

- When Charlotte was still visiting the crew of "Titanic", she specially visited and inspected there.

And now, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has a lot of scenes of navigation and naval battles, and Charlotte naturally wants to be able to use the resources available.

- After all, it's worse than renting a ready-made sink, whether it's digging one again yourself, or shooting directly in the open sea.

- Either the cost is a lot higher, or the effect may be less effective and less secure.

Therefore, during the preparation stage of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Charlotte had already rented a tank in Rosarrito in advance, and asked people to build a real "Black Pearl" in advance.

- Of course, it's a product that can only be seen.

At least that's what Philip Bierman thinks.

After all, he also knows how troublesome it is to build a real ship.

Besides, there is no need.

However, he didn't expect Charlotte to suddenly ask for an increase in the rental time a few days ago.

That's more troublesome.

Although the reason given by Mr. Director is very strong -

"We've come up with new ways to simulate more scenes from the open sea in the tank, which can significantly reduce the cost of actually shooting in the open sea. ”

- It's a good thing to save money, but this means that if you can't do it, the pot that can't save costs will be detained on Philip, who is in charge of the matter.

Naturally, this gave him a lot of headaches.

You know, at present, in addition to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew, there is actually another one staring at the huge sink in Rosarito.

- The crew of "Pearl Harbor" directed by Michael Bay is also waiting to use this sink.

This is where Philip Bierman comes in.

The advantage is that among the investors of the film "Pearl Harbor", Disney's Touchstone Pictures also has Disney, so the two sides can coordinate;

But the disadvantage is also here-

Because it was a family, Philip couldn't just grab the right to use the sink and didn't care about it at all.

For Philip, naturally, this was a nuisance.

Fortunately, no matter whether it was troublesome or not, the matter was finally resolved before the filming of all the interior scenes of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew was completed-

The "Pearl Harbor" crew was willing to adjust the filming sequence and wait for the sink in Rosarrito to vacate, which allowed the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew to smoothly extend their leases;

And Robert Iger miraculously persuaded Disney's conservative board of directors to approve the plan for a three-part series.

- As far as Philip Bierman knows, President Michael Eisner is still noncommittal about this plan.

However, Robert Iger was supported by Roy Disney, the last member of the Disney family on the Disney board, which allowed his ambitious plan to pass.

- Of course, director Charlotte Booth's astonishing achievements in the past, as well as some of the rough cuts of "Pirates of the Caribbean" at present, have also played a great role in persuasion.

In short, the three-drama continuous filming plan is officially launched.

Just when Charlotte took the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to Rosarito to shoot the location scene, the negotiations between Philip Bierman and several starring agents also started at the same time.

This is also a consistent practice in Hollywood.

- The agent and the producer will settle the conflict of interests behind it and not let it affect the normal work of the crew.

However, Charlotte Booth, the first producer, also served as a director, so the negotiation was left to Philip Bierman, the representative of Disney, the largest investor......

"So, Depp, are you going to agree to this continuous shooting plan?"

On the way to Rosarito, Jenny was also asking Johnny Depp about it.

And Depp looks as weird as Captain Sparrow and doesn't wake up,

"I'm not happy with my schedule lately, so it's no problem to make enough time, and it's fun to shoot with director Charlotte......"

"......"

Jenny was tempted to say, "What about the salary?", but just as the workplace generally doesn't discuss salaries with each other, the actors in the crew don't discuss salaries casually.

After all, some people take tens of millions, some people can only take tens of thousands, and the income gap is so big that once you say it, everyone will be very embarrassed to each other.

Fortunately, although Depp looks casual on weekdays, he is very good in terms of observing words and feelings.

"You don't have to worry too much about pay, Jenny!"

Depp whispered to the girl,

"Leave this kind of thing to the broker, and they'll take care of it for us – it's their job!"

"Moreover, although the crew's continuous filming will make us lose the opportunity to increase our salary in the sequel later, because the filming time is extended, our salary will have been increased. What's more, we can also strive for the crew to give a ladder salary based on the results of the subsequent movie releases. ”

“...... All right. ”

Seeing that Depp's words were exactly the same as what Mr. Agent said before, Jenny only shrugged her shoulders,

"If it's just a trilogy, it may take a year to shoot - I'm a little unaccustomed to this kind of big event when I first played the heroine. ”

In this regard, Depp just pretended to blink mysteriously,

"Don't worry, it won't take that long!"
