Chapter 284: Premiere Press Conference

May 20, Los Angeles.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3", in the familiar old place Disneyland, held the premiere of the new film.

Wu Yuan, Cheng Long, and Liu Yifei, who had been busy in China for a week, did not miss the premiere in the end, and flew from China to Los Angeles early in the morning.

As the finale of the first phase of the IP of "Pirates of the Caribbean", this film is no less important than "Avengers: Endgame" is to the entire Marvel Universe.

In addition, after a week of rescue work, the disaster situation in Sichuan Province has gradually stabilized, and materials from all over the world have basically been delivered, and are being imported into the hands of the victims in the province in an orderly and continuous manner.

Even if Wu Yuan stayed in China, he didn't have anything else important to participate in, so he chartered a plane again and flew back to Los Angeles with Cheng Long and Liu Yifei.

It's just that the mood of the three of them is not very high, after all, they have seen so many touching and heart-wrenching news and disaster deeds in China, which really makes them unable to be happy.

"Let's go, cheer up." Wu Yuan, who was wearing a suit, rubbed his face, showed a faint smile on his face, and beckoned to Liu Yifei: "As a professional actor, you have to be dedicated." ”

"Today is the day of the release of the new movie, it is a great joy, don't lose your face."

Liu Yifei, who was also dressed up, wearing a pale pink long skirt dress and wearing a lot of luxury brand jewelry, barely smiled.

As a pillow person, Wu Yuan could of course see that her smile was very professional, but it was enough to deal with today's occasion.

took her out of the dressing room and met with Cheng Long who was waiting at the door, and the three of them walked into the premiere from the staff passage.

Depp, Kayla and others, who had already been prepared, were already here to welcome the guests.

"Daniel, I thought you weren't going to be here today." Seeing Wu Yuan's appearance, Kayla breathed a sigh of relief and greeted her and comforted: "God will bless the people of Huaxia who have been affected by the disaster, don't be too sad." ”

For Kayla, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is the end of her journey in the series.

Maybe there will be a fourth or fifth part in the future, and Captain Jack will continue his adventures, but there will be no more Elizabeth Swan.

The story that belongs to Elizabeth Swan and Will Turner is over.

As a farewell work, Kayla certainly hopes that everything will go smoothly for the film, including the premiere.

If Wu Yuan, the director, couldn't attend the premiere, she felt that she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Now that Wu Yuan is not absent, of course she is very happy.

For Kayla, Wu Yuan can be regarded as the leader of her acting path.

At the age of 17, she entered the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and became the world-famous British Rose, and was later promoted by Wu Yuan to participate in the filming of "Rush Hour 3", and once again became the number one commercial film in North America.

It can be said that Kayla's actor career and the highlight moments are all due to Wu Yuan.

In the past so many years, she has participated in many movies, but the box office of other movies combined is not as high as the box office of "Rush Hour 3", let alone the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

If Liu Yifei is Wu Yuan's Yuan girl in Huaxia, then Kayla is Wu Yuan's Yuan girl in Hollywood.

It's just a pity that Kayla didn't become Wu Yuan's girlfriend like Liu Yifei.

glanced at Liu Yifei, who had been standing beside Wu Yuan with a smile in her eyes, with some envy in her eyes, Kayla took the initiative to pull her and whispered about the recent situation.

Several other actors also gathered around Wu Yuan and Cheng Long, greeted them, and expressed their condolences to the disaster in Huaxia.

In this way, after greeting for a while, until Jerry and Disney executives arrived at the scene one after another, the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was about to begin.

Media reporters and film critics who had been waiting outside for a long time all entered the venue one after another.

Film critics were ushered into the screening room first, waiting for the premiere to begin.

The media, on the other hand, were invited to the interview hall.

The creators of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" led by Jerry and Wu Yuan were interviewed by reporters in the interview hall together.

This time, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" brings together almost all the actors of the previous work, it is a phased ending, there are too many topics to talk about, and reporters are full of desire to interview.

Of course, inevitably, Wu Yuan was also asked some very sensitive questions.

"Director Daniel, it is rumored that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" will be the last work of this series directed by you, and you will not direct the subsequent sequel, is it true?"

Faced with this question from the reporter of "Los Angeles Entertainment News", Wu Yuan had nothing to sell, and replied bluntly: "Yes." ”

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3 will be the final film in this series, and this story will end in my hands."

"Of course, Captain Jack's adventure doesn't end there, and in the future, Disney will find a director to succeed me and continue to create the Pirates of the Caribbean world."

"I'm sure it's going to be an equally interesting story."

The reporters in the audience immediately caused an uproar and uproar.

The news that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is Wu Yuan's last Pirates of the Caribbean series of movies has long been rumored on the Internet, but it has never been officially confirmed.

Unexpectedly, it was now confirmed by Wu Yuan himself.

This is unacceptable to many journalists.

Yes, there are quite a few journalists on the scene who are also fans of Pirates of the Caribbean.

This is a super blockbuster with two films grossing $1.7 billion worldwide, and the outside world's box office predictions for the third part are all expected to reach at least $800 million or more.

At the moment in 2008, "Pirates of the Caribbean" can definitely rank among the top five in Hollywood's various series.

With such a high-quality super IP, Wu Yuan would actually give up the follow-up directing and give it to others, this news is too surprising.

A reporter from the Hollywood Times, with some emotion, stood up and said: "Daniel, this is not a sane decision, the Pirates of the Caribbean series cannot live without you. ”

"You and Depp are both an indispensable part of this series, and no matter who loses, this series will no longer shine."

"This is bad news for Pirates of the Caribbean fans around the world!"

Well, Wu Yuan can understand how disappointed and sad fans will be when they learn the news, but he still shrugged his shoulders and said a little helplessly: "Pirates of the Caribbean is my brainchild, and it is also one of the best commercial films I have ever directed, and I don't want to part with it." ”

"But seriously, man, three 'Pirates of the Caribbean' in a row has drained my head."

"Honestly, I don't have any new ideas for the set anymore."

"It's a new and original fantasy story, and unlike those superhero movies, there's no comic book plot that can provide a constant source of inspiration."

"I've run out of inspiration and can't work on this series anymore, so maybe it's better to change the director than to stay here."

"I'm sure Disney will find a successor for Pirates of the Caribbean who is not inferior to me."

At this time, producer Jerry also took over the conversation in a timely manner: "We don't have any plans for the follow-up sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean yet, and everything in the future is still unknown, and Daniel may return to the series at some point." ”

"Instead of worrying about these uncertain futures, let's pay more attention to "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", which will premiere today."

The topic was pulled back on track by Jerry again, and other reporters stood up again and asked questions to Depp and other actors.

It's just that as the finale of the first stage, the sad mood still occupies the main emotional expression of the actors.

Kayla and Orlando, as well as Jeffrey as Barbossa, Bill as David Jones, and even Jack Davenport as Brigadier General Norrington, will say goodbye to Pirates of the Caribbean.

They will inevitably review their bits and pieces in this series of movies with sadness in interviews.

Even Depp, who has always been very socially phobic in front of the media, rarely remembered the past filming and expressed his gratitude to several co-actors.

was supposed to be a joyful premiere interview session, but the creators were full of sadness one by one, and even shed tears on the scene several times.

Like Kayla, a little girl, she thanked Wu Yuan in public with a handful of snot and tears, as if she was holding a farewell meeting.

To be precise, for the leading actors other than Depp, today's premiere interview is indeed their farewell ceremony to "Pirates of the Caribbean".

There are only Cheng Long and Liu Yifei, the two new actors who joined the third part, and they don't feel anything about it, and they can conduct interviews more normally.

Especially Liu Yifei, in today's interview, she has gained the attention of Wu Yuan and Depp, and is even more popular with reporters than Cheng Long.

Who called her the most novel "traffic hot" now!

Cheng Long has been in Haolaiwu for more than ten years, and North American reporters are also very familiar with him, but the content of the interview is actually not much.

Liu Yifei is different, she is a new popular star, an English single exploded around the world, many reporters were curious about her everything, and asked her about her situation one after another.

"Yes, my main business is actually an actor."

"My film debut was a Chinese-language film directed by Wu Yuan."

"Singing is my hobby, and so is acting, and I will try my best to balance the two."

"Wei'er is a very cool character, she is the daughter of the Singapore pirate Wang Xiaofeng, and she is a female pirate who is very good at fighting, and everyone will see it in the movie in a while."

Liu Yifei maintained a professional smirk, answering one question after another with ease.

The second half of the reporter's interview session almost became a one-man show for her, but it also diluted the sad atmosphere of the creators in the first half.

Soon, the interview session of more than half an hour came to an end under the urging of the master of ceremonies, and under the reluctant eyes of the reporters, the creators got up and left the interview hall.

The reporters at the scene also had to hand in all the electronic equipment and follow them to the screening hall.

Here, the film critics, who have numbered as many as 100 people, have long been impatient.

The premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is about to officially begin!
