Chapter 616: Shipwreck Island
Charlotte is talking about the famous "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.
Some people say that the purpose of the film's original shooting was to promote the pirate ship project launched by Disneyland.
As a result, such a movie, which was supposed to be like a commercial film, made Disney make a lot of money, and also brought out a classic film and television image of Jack Sparrow.
Now, Charlotte thinks about this movie, but it has something to do with Robert Iger.
It is rumored that it was because of the misjudgment of the film that Disney's "tyrant" Michael Eisner was gradually accepted by the Disney board of directors because he was behind the times, and Robert Iger was given more power as a result, and finally overturned the former's rule over Disney a few years later.
Charlotte, on the other hand, was interested in Pirates of the Caribbean, but she didn't intend to push for change within Disney.
- Again, it doesn't have any definite benefit for him.
Charlotte is actually interested in the Black Pearl in the movie, and the "Flying Dutchman" that will appear in the second part in the future.
The latter, in particular, has the ability to dive underwater, which would be of great use to Charlotte's exploration of the sea if it were to be embodied in reality.
ββIn this regard, it is incomparable to all kinds of deep submersibles made by science and technology at present.
As for the purpose of his desire to explore the sea, it was because of the mysterious "Lord of the Abyss" that the Lord of Hell had told him before.
Charlotte found similar information in the knowledge and information left behind by Jack the Ripper.
However, Jack is equally secretive about the Lord of the Abyss.
Charlotte studied for a long time, but only found that Jack the Ripper's judgment of the Lord of the Abyss was likely to be the same as his-
Jack also believes that the other party should be a mysterious existence hidden in the depths of the ocean.
- After all, this can be seen from the series of aliases spoken by the Lord of Hell about the Lord of the Abyss.
Going further than Charlotte, Jack the Ripper seems to have studied the other party's hiding place-
Shipwreck Island!
Charlotte looked up the name of the place that existed in the Ripper's memory for a while.
There is no such island in this world.
Although, Zakynthos in Greece is known as the "Bay of Shipwrecks" and is a famous tourist attraction.
But this name is derived from 1983 -
At that time, a smuggling ship was wrecked and stranded here while transporting cigarettes.
Since then, a rusty old iron ship has been crossed by steep cliffs, clear blue waters, and white sand beaches, and this is a visually striking sight that has earned Zakynthos the nickname "Shipwreck Bay".
However, the information about Shipwreck Island left by Jack the Ripper should be earlier than 1983 in Charlotte's opinion.
- After all, according to Jack's remaining memory information, some time clues are still clearly visible.
What's more, "Shipwreck Bay" and "Shipwreck Island" are not the same in terms of meaning......
However, Charlotte is not completely missing the clue.
In fact, he did find the existence of "Shipwreck Island" - only in the middle.
Among the works of science fiction writer Alexander Belyaev, known as the "father of science fiction in the former Soviet Union", there is one called "Shipwreck Island".
In this sci-fi, Shipwreck Island is a fictional island in the heart of the Bermuda Triangle, formed by a collection of shipwrecks that have sunk here over thousands of years.
According to Belyaev's setting, the shipwrecked island is both the cause and the result of various mysterious accidents in the Bermuda Triangle.
- From a scientific point of view, this is naturally impossible.
After all, even in the 21st century, scientific research on Bermuda has yielded little results.
Many people even feel that the so-called "mystery of the Bermuda Triangle" is itself a false proposition.
It's the same as the accident-prone section of the highway - there can't be some mysterious mystery in every accident-prone section, right?
If Charlotte didn't know sorcery, he would agree with that.
But as a man of sorcery and occultism, Charlotte knew that somewhere, when most people felt that there was terror somewhere, there would be terror there.
This is the power that comes from the human heart.
It's just that the impact of this mysterious power may not be visible to ordinary people, which makes people feel even more mysterious.
And if the information about this "shipwreck island" left by Jack the Ripper is the "shipwreck island" mentioned in Alexander Belyaev, then it can explain a lot of problems -
First of all, as one of the most mysterious seas on earth, the Bermuda Triangle, especially the Sargasso Sea in the center, is indeed a more suitable hiding place for the Lord of the Abyss;
- The Sargasso Sea is also the place where the "Shipwreck Island" is located in the book "Shipwreck Island".
And if the Lord of the Abyss is hiding here, it can indeed explain the mystery of this sea area.
- It can be said that this inference seems to be quite reasonable.
But how to search in this area was a difficult problem for Charlotte.
After all, even in the 21st century, searching the ocean is difficult.
Not to mention, if Shipwreck Island is really the hiding place of a mysterious being like the Lord of the Abyss, then this place may also be a mysterious existence.
- Ordinary search methods may not be able to detect the existence of this place at all.
Charlotte had been struggling with how to solve this problem before, but the arrival of Robert Iger reminded Charlotte -
After all, in various pirate stories, pirate ships are often associated with mysterious events such as ghosts, not to mention the various fantasy elements in Pirates of the Caribbean itself.
As long as Charlotte completes the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, she will be able to manage to get her own ghost ship or even the "Flying Dutchman", which will make it possible to travel to "Shipwreck Island......
Of course, Robert Iger would not have known the reason for Charlotte's magic.
However, he originally came to Charlotte to cooperate, and now that the latter has shown the idea of cooperation, he naturally will not object.
He directly told Charlotte that Charlotte could create a script for a movie about a pirate ship on her own, and Disney was willing to invest.
- Unconditionally.
This is arguably a rather exaggerated promise.
But Robert Iger didn't see anything wrong with it.
After all, this is an opportunity to work with Charlotte Booth.
Although the pirate genre has not been very popular in the last decade, Iger believes that Charlotte must have a reason to dare to bring up the theme.
- For Charlotte, who has been successful in the field of commercial blockbusters, Robert Iger believes that the other party will not speak indiscriminately.
What he has to do now is to strengthen Charlotte Booth's confidence in the cooperation with Disney and raise funds......
