Jerry's action is fast, or rather, Disney really values the Pirates of the Caribbean series right now.

On the weekend of the second week of the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", Jerry got Cheng Long done.

Cheng Long doesn't have many drama appointments in Hollywood.

Except for "Ace Agent", which has not yet been determined when it will be filmed, Cheng Long currently has no film appointments for Hollywood, and he has returned to Hong Kong Island to film.

His "Baby Project" on Hong Kong Island has just finished filming, and the work plan for the next two years has not yet been decided.

As soon as Jerry came to the door, Cheng Long almost didn't do any pulling, and immediately agreed to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

What are you kidding, he knows exactly how hot this IP is in Hollywood now!

Seeing that the second North American box office has exceeded $200 million, and other countries around the world are also in full swing, it will be a movie with a box office of at least $700 million.

Being able to participate in the filming of such a movie is definitely a good cake for Cheng Long.

And although the character of Howling Wind is a pirate, he is not a villain.

Or there is no pure villain in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", everyone is a pirate, and it is commonplace for you to betray me and me betray you.

Acting in this movie is not a break of his precept that he is not in Hollywood to play a villain.

Although Xiao Feng only has about fifteen or sixteen minutes of footage in the feature film, his role can be regarded as running through the entire "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", and it is still very important in terms of importance.

With a salary of $10 million, Jerry took Cheng Long and quickly signed a contract with him.

Although this price is definitely more expensive than Chow Runfu's four million US dollars, the fame and status of the two in Hollywood are not the same.

In addition to Cheng Long, Liu Yifei also quickly signed a contract with the crew.

With Wu Yuan as a guarantor, Liu Yifei is of course a thousand willing.

Liu Xiaoli was even happier.

This is a super A-level production of Hollywood, and Liu Yifei can be regarded as the second female lead.

Although not like Kayla, the character is present throughout the series.

But at least in the second half of the third part, the character of Howling Wind Daughter follows the trio on adventures throughout the whole process and finds the end of the world together.

In the script, Howling Wind's daughter once followed the route of the map and went to the end of the world, so she set off as a guide with the trio of Captain Jack.

Although she is just a background board most of the time on the road, at least she shows her face in front of the camera!

This is a gold-plated super A-level blockbuster in Laiwu, and Liu Yifei can also promote himself as an "international superstar" in China, which can be compared to the international chapter.

Although the salary given is only a symbolic $500,000, this money is also higher than Liu Yifei's salary in China.

What else is there to say about this?

Sign it, sign it right away!

Liu Xiaoli, who was originally doing a new biography promotion activity with her daughter in China, canceled all the follow-up activities as soon as possible, flew to the United States with Liu Yifei, and signed a contract with Disney.

However, because of her busy work, after a brief meeting at Disney, Liu Yifei flew back to China with her mother, and she still has a lot of publicity to do.

And Wu Yuan, after staying in the United States for half a month, also plans to return to China to be busy with his own affairs.

After the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the box office results are no longer something he can influence.

The film has been in theaters for two weeks in North America and has grossed more than $280 million.

After being released in more than 20 countries around the world, the box office results were also very gratifying, winning the weekly box office championship in more than a dozen countries.

The pirate ship is still very fast, cleaving the waves around the world and killing the global film market.

Characters such as Captain Jack, Elizabeth, and Will have also become a hot topic among fans around the world.

The wave of discussion and movie-watching caused by the second part far exceeded that of the first part, which also made Disney and the main creators of the crew very excited, and they worked hard to promote it around the world.

Fortunately, in the contract signed by Wu Yuan and Disney, he is only required to participate in the premiere event, and he does not need to participate in the whole process of daily publicity.

After appearing on several TV talk shows in North America and the United Kingdom with Depp and others, and accepting several media interviews, Wu Yuan stepped on the plane back to China without incident.

There is one thing that has been waiting for Wu Yuan to deal with.

Director Zhang Yimou called Wu Yuan several times and asked him to meet and discuss some things, and Wu Yuan verbally agreed, but he never went to see Zhang Yimou.

Now it's dragged and dragged until "The City Full of Golden Armor" has been completed, and Wu Yuan hasn't gone to see Zhang Yimou yet.

Although Zhang Yimou expressed his understanding and told Wu Yuan that work was important, he could wait for Wu Yuan to finish the matter at hand and talk about it when he was free.

But Wu Yuan didn't drag it out, and now that "Pirates of the Caribbean" has also been released, the design drawings of "Gravity" have been almost done, and they have entered the stage of actual props and scene construction.

Wu Yuan, who had nothing to do for the time being, found director Zhang Yimou as soon as he returned to China.

Wu Yuan met director Zhang Yimou in a very special place.

Building 3 of Beiyuan Convention Center, the office of the creative team of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

Here, Zhang Yimou is having a heated discussion with the team he formed for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and a lot of brainstorming is being generated.

Yes, the opening ceremony of the 08 Beijing Olympics was finally won by the team directed by Zhang Yimou.

At that time, in the first half of last year, when the first, second, and third rounds of solicitation meetings and bidding plan discussions were held, Wu Yuan was all absent.

He was filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" in the United States at the time, and he didn't have time to return to China to participate in the bidding.

The main bidder was director Kaigo, and he did read the poem during the first round of meetings

It's a pity that Wu Yuan didn't witness this legendary scene with his own eyes.

However, he also heard later that the main reason for Director Kaigo's defeat was not because he read poetry, but because his plan did not meet the psychological expectations of the leadership.

In the end, Zhang Yimou, who was more well prepared, had a more atmospheric plan and a great country bearing, still won the post of chief director of the opening ceremony.

Since then, he has been preparing for the opening ceremony with his team.

Even when filming "The City is Full of Golden Armor", his Olympic preparation team has been with the group, and when Zhang Yimou was filming, they watched or discussed it by themselves.

When Zhang Yimou had time halfway, he set up a small tent on the set and held a meeting with the team in the tent to discuss.

From January this year to the present, more than half a year has passed, and the overall design and program flow arrangement of the opening ceremony have basically taken shape under the discussion of the team, and only some details are still being improved.

Zhang Yimou met Wu Yuan in the office of the creative team at the opening ceremony this time, which made Wu Yuan very strange.

Generally speaking, such important places are forbidden to unrelated persons.

"Director Zhang, what do you mean by inviting me here?" Wu Yuan asked with some curiosity.

A bright smile appeared on Zhang Yimou's face, and he patted Wu Yuan's shoulder heavily: "Of course, I asked Director Wu to guide our opening ceremony plan." ”

"I think about it, this Beijing Olympics, we must show and use some advanced technology at the opening ceremony, so that the world can see that our China is also a modern science and technology power."

"So I wondered if I could use the special effects technology of the film in the opening ceremony."

"Among all the directors in China, Director Wu has the deepest understanding and most professional knowledge of film special effects technology."

"So I can only have a thick old face, please guide us and give some advice."

Using film special effects technology for the opening ceremony?

Wu Yuan's eyes rolled, and he immediately had an idea in his heart.

"Let's go in, let's go in and talk." Zhang Yimou warmly hugged him and walked into the conference room.

More than 20 main persons in charge of Zhang Yimou's creative team at the opening ceremony were already sitting in the conference room at this time.

Seeing Zhang Yimou walking in with Wu Yuan, everyone stood up with a smile on their faces and greeted Wu Yuan.

"Hello Director Wu."

Wu Yuan also nodded calmly: "Hello everyone, sit down." ”

"Director Zhang, what specific charter do you have, let's hear about it?"

Today is the third watch, and there are two more chapters in the early morning, and one chapter will add a thousand more words.
