In a lounge inside Disneyland.

"Hey, Depp, long time no see!"

"KK, you're a lot prettier again."

Wu Yuan smiled and opened his hand, hugging Depp and Keira Knightley, who had just entered the door.

"Director, you will return to Huaxia after filming this movie, we can't see you if we want to." Depp patted Wu Yuan's back with his backhand and teased with a smile.

Wu Yuan smiled and said, "Haha, it's okay, when the second part starts filming, we can see each other every day again." ”

However, his words did not resonate much, and Depp's expression became solemn.

"Director, do you think this movie can be a big hit at the box office?"

The closer it is to the release, the more pressure Depp will have in his heart.

This "Pirates of the Caribbean" is absolutely one, and the whole story revolves around the pirate Jack Sparrow.

If this movie is successful, then he will make the most profits, and fame, status, and money will roll in.

But once this movie fails, Depp will also fall into the abyss and become a "box office poison", which will be avoided by Hollywood Capital.

This circle is so realistic, one wrong step will be doomed, and Depp's pressure is about to burst.

If the first part hits the street at the box office, where will there be a second part.

"Rest assured, I'm confident in the Pirates of the Caribbean project, and Disney is confident too." Wu Yuan comforted with a smile.

Perhaps initially, Disney did not expect that the Pirates of the Caribbean series would become one of the most successful series of Hollywood films.

But in a week's time, the road to the king of the series will begin.

Wu Yuan has seen the finished film, although he did not participate in the final editing, soundtrack, etc., but he also has the right to make final recommendations.

After watching the finished film in advance, Wu Yuan felt that the effect of his version was still very good.

Although because of the different directors, the shots shot by Wu Yuan are still more delicate than the original, but the entire story line has not changed in any way.

The soundtrack is still a classic Hans Zimmer.

In the absence of major changes, the original "Pirates of the Caribbean" can get a global box office of 600 million US dollars, so Wu Yuan's version can certainly be.

Maybe he will do better, after all, he is much more famous than Gore Verbinski, at least in Europe and Asia, relying on his fame, he can sell more box office.

"Depp, don't worry, the directors said it would be successful, and it will definitely be successful." Keira Knightley was also relieved.

Seventeen-year-old Keira Knightley is a heartless one.

Although she is the heroine, she doesn't feel that she can carry the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" at all, let alone any pressure at all.

Being able to play such a big production is already pie in the sky for her.

She should be the most confident of all the actors in this movie, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!

"What are you talking about?"

The door to the break room is pushed open again, and Orlando walks in with Jeffrey Rush, who plays Barbossa.

Jerry, who came in behind them, clapped his hands and shouted, "Everyone, the press conference is ready, you should go on the field to face the bombardment of reporters." ”

"Remember the script and the sample answer that I showed you earlier."

"Especially KK, if the reporters ask any sharp questions and you don't know how to answer them, don't talk and let Depp answer them for you."

Kayla nodded nervously.

"Very good, let's go!"

Everyone stood up and followed Jerry towards the set up interview room.

"They're coming!"

The side door of the interview hall was opened, and Jerry and Wu Yuan led the creators to the interview seat from the side passage.

Before they could sit down, the reporters in the audience stood up impatiently and wanted to ask questions.

The staff who maintained order on the scene had no choice but to pick up the microphone and emphasize again: "Gentlemen reporters, please interview one by one in an orderly manner, don't scramble, okay?" ”

"This interview session lasted a full hour, and I believe everyone has the opportunity to ask questions."

After leading the creators to sit down, Jerry didn't talk much nonsense and gave the host a look.

The host who received the look immediately began to control the scene.

"Mr. Reporter, second in the second row, please ask a question first."

The reporter from the "Los Angeles Entertainment News" stood up excitedly and pointed the microphone at Wu Yuan, who was sitting in the center of the interview seat: "Director Wu, why did you take this movie?" ”

"The pirate genre hasn't been successful for years, aren't you afraid that this movie will fail just as well?"

At the moment, most of the media predicted that "Pirates of the Caribbean" would be a failure, especially with such a large investment, almost no media thought that the film would pay off, let alone sell well.

"Just because someone else fails doesn't mean I'll fail too." Breaking the microphone down, Wu Yuan said confidently: "Pirates of the Caribbean is a fantasy adventure movie, just like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", but it is even cooler than "Raiders of the Lost Ark". ”

"When I saw the script, I didn't hesitate to say yes to take it, because I believe that this film will be a success!"

"This is a wonderful, fantasy blockbuster for all ages!"

Another reporter stood up: "Then Director Wu, what are your expectations for the box office of this movie?" ”

"I think Pirates of the Caribbean will achieve more than 200 million box office in North America, and at least 500 million worldwide!"

The reporter's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "Dollars? ”

"Of course." Wu Yuan couldn't help laughing: "Could it be the yen, or the VND?" ”

The reporters in the audience immediately exploded, and the discussion was everywhere, and they all blushed with excitement and had thick necks.

I didn't expect it!

Wu Yuan is actually such an arrogant director, I didn't see it before!

200 million box office in North America, 500 million box office in the world, such a result dare to shout out?

This is a pirate movie!

Hey, the reporters on the scene all showed excited smiles on their faces, they like this kind of director who dares to shoot guns, isn't this topic coming, isn't the headline coming!

Even Jerry in the interview booth was frightened by Wu Yuan's prediction.

In fact, Disney didn't dare to think it was so beautiful.

Disney's project "Pirates of the Caribbean" is to make "peripheral movies" for Disneyland.

It is to drive the fame and popularity of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in Disney Park, in order to sell more tickets.

So for Disney, the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is OK as long as it doesn't lose money, and it doesn't matter if it even loses a little.

As the most proficient film company in the United States, they have a way to make money back in the peripheral field.

Disney's internal expectations for this movie are only $300 million worldwide, and if they can have such results, they are willing to continue to make a sequel.

Now Wu Yuan is so confident, as soon as he shouts, it will be a global box office of 500 million, so he is not afraid that the final box office will not even be half?

This will be laughed at by this group of reporters, and all kinds of ridicule and ridicule will swarm in and eat Wu Yuan.

Jerry tugged at the hem of Wu Yuan's clothes, hoping that he would calm down.

However, Wu Yuan didn't care at all, and still said confidently: "$500 million is just my expected bottom line, and I believe that the final box office results may be higher!" ”

In the United States, Wu Yuan set up a character for himself as a young and frivolous genius director!

Young people in their early 20s aren't crazy, so when are they crazy?

He is not crazy, how can he conquer North American teenagers?

The next generation of authentic rice flags, just like this!

In the North American entertainment industry, humility and kindness are not easy to use, and they will only be looked down upon!

Wu Yuan's age is not suitable for taking this old man's route, he has to be crazy, and he is proud!

As long as you have the strength, as long as you have crazy capital, it will only be loved by teenagers!
