Chapter 645: Exposure (Ask for Collection)
In Charlotte's original time and space "Pirates of the Caribbean", whether it is Orlando Klum who plays Will Turner or Keira Knightley who plays Elizabeth, in front of Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow, they are all stars hidden by the bright moon.
Even if he also bears the name of the protagonist, it is completely different.
Of course, after summarizing the success factors of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the producers also gave Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan some of Jack Sparrow's madness and funny in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", which more or less strengthened the scenes of the two.
However, the problem is too much -
In the first installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, Will Turner and Elizabeth have relatively orthodox characters, while Jack Sparrow does his best to go off the beaten track.
The whole story, just like the requirements of the art of war, is to match and win by chance.
Whether it is the story structure or the setting between the characters, it is all orderly, which is why "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been successful.
However, in the second and third parts, there are too many funny and crazy absurd elements.
This not only affects the narrative of the movie, makes the already complex and lengthy plot more difficult to understand, but also makes all the characters a little crazy.
Instead, the settings of different characters overlap, making them less attractive and recognizable.
It also makes the behavior of some characters very weird, and it is difficult for the audience to understand.
You know, not everyone is Johnny Depp, who can perform the absurd and funny so naturally.
Whether it is Elizabeth or Will Turner, the behavior in the second and third parts seems a bit deliberate and unnatural because more absurd elements are added.
And this is also the reason why many veteran audiences and Hollywood judges don't like Jim Carrey.
The king of comedy, who can be called the "Star of Hollywood Week", is used to acting in comedies, and there is indeed some pyrotechnics in the performance.
This is not a problem in comedy, but "Pirates of the Caribbean", which only integrates comedic elements and is essentially a fantasy blockbuster, is not harmonious enough.
...... All of the above is the reason why Charlotte's original time and space had a worse evaluation of the second and third parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean" than the first one.
Charlotte is now filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", so naturally she wants to avoid this problem.
Therefore, in his original plan, the first part of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was originally intended to be modeled after the one in the original time and space, and did not particularly strengthen Will Turner and Elizabeth.
But the problem is that he didn't take into account the huge difference in acting skills between Raven Phoenix and Orlando Bloom, and he didn't expect that Alexis's sister Jenny would also become an unexpected variable.
"If the two of them are allowed to play freely, then in the original plan, the balance between the three protagonists will be completely broken, and the character settings will definitely overlap, and eighty percent will be unbalanced. 」
After a few days of filming, realizing that the problem was caused by her own casting, Charlotte scratched her head in distress.
"However, if you limit the performance of the two, it will be too wasteful of their abilities......
In a way, Charlotte is also a greedy guy.
He often cheats with spells, and is used to having both fish and bear's paws.
So this time, he didn't directly think about how to choose, but wanted to find a third way.
- In the final analysis, it is still the psychology of "I want it".
Fortunately, after hard thinking and meditation, he really thought of it-
"First of all, Johnny, your Jack Sparrow character doesn't need to change. ”
Charlotte said to Depp first,
"This character is one of the biggest highlights of our film, and naturally it is necessary to maintain it – however, your current performance is not stretching enough, so, you need to open yourself up further!"
"Open!?"
Depp deliberately spread his legs wide,
"Is that so?"
“...... There's a lady here, Johnny!"
Charlotte coughed deliberately and glanced at Jenny's chastity ring, which made Depp react as well.
"I'm sorry, Jenny!"
He immediately apologized.
"It's okay!"
Jenny really didn't care much about that.
However, in order to conform to her own setting, she still waved her hand and deliberately lowered her head, revealing a slightly shy expression.
However, because of this, she didn't notice that Depp showed a "I see" expression on his face because of her slightly slow reaction.
However, many times Charlotte, who has a delicate heart, notices.
He sent a stern "don't talk too much" gaze past.
Depp shrugged his shoulders, but didn't make a sound, just opened his mouth and made a "you're the boss, you have the final say" mouth shape.
— and all of this was done in the split second that Jenny lowered her gaze.
After Jenny quickly returned to normal, Charlotte continued,
"Depp basically doesn't need to adjust, and Rui ...... Ryton!"
Charlotte looked at Raven on the side,
"Your character remains the same on the surface, but on the inside it needs to be overhauled!
"What do you mean?"
A curious look appeared on Rivan's face.
- It's rare to be able to play the leading role once, and Ruifan, who is addicted to drama, naturally hopes to play a relatively complex role.
Originally, Will Turner's role was just a poor boy who simply liked a noble lady, except that his background was a little complicated, everything else was very simple.
This actually made Ruifan a little dissatisfied.
So, now Charlotte wants to modify the character design, which just meets his needs-
"When you play Will Turner again, in addition to the superficial performance we originally demanded, at a deep level, you also need to show Will Turner's inferiority complex and ambition, and gradually complete his gradual transformation from simplicity at the beginning to gradual maturity in the later stage. ”
Charlotte explains,
In this way, the average audience can still see the simple and happy story of the poor boy who finally got the beauty, and those who like to think can also see Will Turner's inner journey that is not simple, can this be done?"
"No problem!"
Rivan nodded.
- After this modification, Will Turner's performance has become much more difficult, but as an acting genius, Rivan likes such difficult performances.
Moreover, after talking to Charlotte, Raven, who knew that "Pirates of the Caribbean" might be made into a trilogy, also realized that such a modification of the character setting would also be conducive to the development of the subsequent sequel.
- Will Turner is no longer so simple, so that the subsequent story will be more reasonable.
Of course, Charlotte's modification of Will Turner's character setting is not only these-
"In order to make this character maintain the characteristics of the male protagonist of an orthodox fantasy story, while also fitting the funny and absurd style of the movie, I need him to be a cold-faced smiler-like character!"
Mr. Director directly stated his thoughtful thoughts.
