Chapter 290: The Movie-Watching Craze for Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Swords and Horses

Chapter 290 The viewing craze of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 makes Danfei a big hit!

"Daniel, think about it again. Don't make a decision so hastily."

"We at Warner are very sincere."

"A salary of 10 million US dollars, plus 5% of the global box office share, this is the price of the top director."

Fyodor Oliver still offered Wu Yuan a condition, trying to tempt him with this condition.

Directors are not like actors. Top actors can get 20 million US dollars + 15% of the global box office share, but top directors can only get half.

But this half is not a small amount. If a movie can make more than 500 million US dollars at the global box office, then 5% of the box office share is 25 million US dollars. With the fixed salary, one movie can make 35 million US dollars, which is more than 200 million RMB.

This is really not a small amount of money. Even if Wu Yuan has an independent film company, it is impossible for him to look down on this money.

However, Wu Yuan remained unmoved. He just looked at him indifferently and shook his head firmly.

If it was "Man of Steel", he felt that he could still save it, and maybe he could create the best Superman movie in the new century.

"Green Lantern" is fine, but it is not right from the root. If you want to correct it or even turn it into something good, you need to spend a lot of energy, and the final box office risk will be very high.

Wu Yuan has already established his status in the field of commercial films, so there is no need to gamble his reputation on the success of this movie.

On the other hand, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is being released in North America.

As the world's largest ticket warehouse for this series, North American fans are the most enthusiastic in supporting this movie.

All 4,362 cinemas in North America are full of screenings of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

Countless young fans flocked in, waving their money to buy tickets for this movie.

"Are the tickets for 5pm sold out?"

"What about the tickets for 7pm?"

"Sold out too?"

"There must be tickets for after 10pm?"

"Damn it! 12pm is 12pm, give me two!"

Jack, who lives in the suburbs of Houston, took two movie tickets from the ticket seller in a somewhat irritated manner, squeezed out of the crowd, took out his newly bought iPhone, and called his girlfriend in distress.

"Iris, I'm so sorry, all the daytime tickets are sold out today, I only bought two tickets for the midnight show."

"Oh! Honey, I definitely didn't mean it, it's really that the tickets for Pirates of the Caribbean 3 are too popular."

"You know, this is Daniel's last time directing Pirates of the Caribbean, and no one wants to miss this finale."

"Don't worry, I will definitely send you home safely after the movie."

"Yes, I'm not that kind of person."

"OK! I'll pick you up on time, bye, honey!"

He was still worried before the call, but after the call, there was only a smile on his face.

A man next to him who had bought tickets and was about to line up to watch the movie stared at Jack with envy, then looked at his girlfriend in his arms and sighed in his heart.

They were watching the 3pm show, and they just happened to go for dinner after the show. How could he use an excuse to keep his girlfriend instead of sending her back!

It was wonderful that this guy could buy tickets for the midnight show.

His girlfriend seemed to notice his expression and reached out to pinch his arm: "Why, are you envious?"

"NO!" He shook his head quickly: "It's too dangerous to watch midnight shows. The show ends too late. It's not safe at all."

Unlike what many people think, although the midnight show of movies was indeed the first to be born in North America, and the midnight premiere was also the first to be done in North America.

But now, theaters and movie fans in North America are no longer willing to watch midnight movies.

The reason is very simple. In a country where guns are not banned and robbery has always been rampant, it is too dangerous to hang out outside at two or three in the morning.

In terms of safety, the United States really can't be compared with China.

Of course, this also shows from the side that in order to pass the review, these two American men are still very adventurous.

Two blocks away, at the door of another cinema.

Liszt held a movie ticket and walked into the No. 2 screening room with anticipation.

"After waiting for so long, it's finally released." He muttered to himself, and with excitement and excitement on his face, he quickly found his seat and sat down.

Liszt is a fanatical fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. He has been madly in love with this series of movies since the first one was released.

Captain Jack, who is full of personality, the beautiful Elizabeth Swan, and the shining Will Turner, all make him love them so much.

Of course, Wu Yuan, who created this movie series and created this series of stories himself, is also one of Liszt's favorite directors.

Well, forgive most ordinary movie fans, they really don't pay attention to who is the screenwriter of a movie, but only pay attention to the actors and directors.

In the eyes of most ordinary people, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is the joint achievement of Wu Yuan and the actors.

Even though Wu Yuan was actually a tool director in the first and second parts, and hardly participated in too many script decisions.

"I heard that this movie is the finale of this series?"

"After the third film, except for Captain Jack, other characters will not appear in the subsequent sequels?"

"So this is the last Caribbean adventure story of Elizabeth and Will?"

Listening to the various discussions of other fans about this movie, Liszt frowned.

In order to prevent spoilers, after the news of the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" came out, he deliberately did not pay attention to any discussions after the premiere, just for fear that the story would be spoiled by others before watching the feature film.

But he never expected that some spoilers would be revealed when the movie was about to be screened.

It can only be said that fans like him who resolutely do not read the premiere reviews and audience feedback are really rare.

With an anxious heart, Liszt subconsciously twisted his buttocks, and after waiting for another seven or eight minutes, he finally waited for the movie to start.

The two-and-a-half-hour feature film has no boring moments throughout. From going to Singapore to find Xiaofeng to get the route map to the end of the world, to going to the end of the world to rescue Jack, returning to Singapore with Jack to hold a pirate conference, confronting the British Navy, fighting internally, and introducing the Seven Seas Pirate King and the Poseidon...

One after another, the plot always makes Lister feel relieved when he just breathes a sigh of relief.

Constant quarrels, conflicts, fights, and frequent Royal Navy sneak attacks.

Large-scale naval battles, Wei'er's close combat with various pirates and the navy with cold weapons, and the huge whale made with special effects...

Various visual impacts make Lister feel addicted.

His expectations are not wrong at all. This is a perfect commercial fantasy blockbuster!

Until the end of the story, the naval battle between the super-large pirates of the Seven Seas and the Royal Navy is a visual feast. The fantasy naval battle of the Age of Discovery under the storm, lightning and thunder is so cool.

At a time when Marvel superhero movies have not yet started and Avatar's Pandora has not yet appeared, the special effects naval battle in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is the most pinnacle special effects scene at present, enough to make any audience scream with excitement after watching it.

Until the end of the film, Will succeeded the captain of the Flying Dutchman and made a vow with Elizabeth to see each other once in ten years. When they hugged each other on the beach, Liszt sighed with melancholy.

The story of Elizabeth and Will ended here.

Even if they may return again in the future sequels, they will definitely not be the protagonists. They will show up as gimmicks or introductions to lead to new adventures.

Liszt, who has seen countless Hollywood blockbusters, knows these commercial movie routines too well.

Although he doesn't know the phrase "My youth is over".

But Liszt, who has watched Pirates of the Caribbean 1 since high school and has now graduated from college, still collapsed in his seat and sighed with melancholy when the scrolling subtitles appeared on the big screen.

At this time, the discussion around me sounded here.

"It's over."

"Yes."

"A pretty perfect ending."

"Maybe there will be a sequel in the future, after all, doesn't the ending lead to the clue of the Fountain of Youth?"

"But that will be a new story, a new adventure for Captain Jack."

"Will was enslaved by the Flying Dutchman?"

"Captain Jack will definitely save him, right?"

Liszt smiled silently, stood up and walked out of the theater in a low-key manner.

It was evening at this time, and the orange sunset slowly fell in the sky.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in the sky, Liszt took out his mobile phone, connected to the 3G network, and edited a blog post on his main Facebook.

"I just finished watching "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". Daniel Wu did not disappoint me and brought me another fantasy masterpiece."

"Depp's performance in the movie is still so perfect, and the English rose is still so beautiful."

"The most surprising thing is the appearance of Crystal Liu. I didn't expect that such a singer who sings sweet songs can be so cool in fighting scenes. She is simply the best actress I have ever seen!"

"In short, this is a perfect series finale. I strongly recommend everyone to watch it!"

At the end of the blog post, he also brought up the new topic function launched by Facebook and selected the topic of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

Soon, his blog post appeared in the topic square.

As long as the netizens who are playing Facebook open the search bar, they can see the hottest topics at the moment.

And "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is the first in the real-time hot topics!

All kinds of fans who have watched this movie are discussing everything about this movie in the topic square.

Depp, Keira, and Orlando's performance in the movie were all picked out and talked about.

Of course, Liu Yifei, who undertook most of the close combat scenes in this movie, is also the focus of discussion among fans!

In the first two movies, the action scenes were basically pirate melees, without any aesthetics.

But Liu Yifei's Wei Er in the third movie is different. Her fighting scenes in the movie are as beautiful as a painting, and she fully embodies the temperament of Chinese martial arts!

The Americans really like Chinese Kung Fu!

Liu Yifei, who just made a name for herself in North America with the song "Call Me Maybe", has not waited for her "sweet girl" impression to be deeply rooted in people's hearts. Her martial arts image has become popular again in North America!

"Come!"

"Hollywood needs actresses who can act in such cool fighting scenes!"

"Let Crystal play more fighting roles of this style!"

I fell asleep in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Here's a beautiful photo to refresh myself.
