01.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" filming continues.
The shooting locations of this movie are all in Human World, Josh Kenny Port, Plague Islands, taverns, casinos... All the scenes that appear in the movie can be found in reality. This will bring some surprises to the audience, and it will also bring some tourists to these places.
Hill also specially acquired a tavern and renamed it the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' tavern, which appeared quite frequently in the movie. This is not for convenience, but for the sake of keeping the fat and water from flowing into the fields of outsiders. After the movie ended, Hill planned to put the wine brewed by the demons into the menu, and then raised the price as a whole, and advertised it in the magazine, saying that this was one of the filming locations of "Pirates of the Caribbean". After that, post a few more posters in it, put some figures, actor props, etc., and I guess it will attract many fans. Hill still believes in the popularity of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.
OK, plan to pass √
The Swan House is borrowed from Baker's previous house in Josh Kenny, and it can be remodeled a little. Baker hired two servants to do the daily cleaning, and they also made cameo appearances.
Leona Bell, one of the five ambassadors of the Dark Holy See, carried out the loan negotiations in other places. The negotiations went smoothly, and the other party had no reason to refuse. After all, it was a multi-purpose thing. However, some people showed a greedy side, Leona didn't say much, and directly changed people and places. Captain Rhodes thought that the necromancer would use terrifying means to intimidate the other party to agree. Leona replied: "Obviously switching to another company saves energy. Sometimes I choose terror because terror is the most effective, not because I like bloody methods. We are just pursuing the highest efficiency." Captain Rhodes listened. Thinking about it, he felt that he seemed to have misunderstood the Dark Holy See before.
When borrowing the venue, Leona didn't even pay gold coins, and everything was done with the goods and coins from the Demon Realm Mall. This made the stingy Hill very comfortable.
There is no problem with the acting skills of the actors. The worst acting skill among the leading actors is Carl who plays Will Turner, but his level is also above the passing line.
Carl is a clever young man, otherwise he would not have been chosen as an apprentice by the first mate of the Dead Bird. You must know that under normal circumstances, this kind of apprentice means a successor. While being clever, the future first mate of the death bird has a righteousness that is different from other pirates, which is why Hill asked him to play Will. Because even after Will became a pirate, he always had this feeling in his body.
Hill was actually a little surprised why the master and apprentice felt this way. He chatted with the first officer while filming, and learned that the first officer used to be a member of the Imperial Navy.
That's the reason, this is the source of that righteousness. But that righteousness is not the kind of silly righteousness, but a feeling from the heart. He's a pirate, he's scheming, but he's not mean. -This feeling.
Hill didn't ask for the specific story of the first mate. He could feel the sadness of the first mate when he said this. When he first came to this world, he was very interested in the stories of all kinds of people, so he wanted to ask about them. Gradually, he pieced together an era that was not worthy of praise from the stories of various people—the demons and humans. So he lost the habit.
If only he could make this era a little better... Occasionally, the thought crosses his mind. Then Hill laughed to himself. Let's take care of the demons first, it's too ambitious to think so big, as Xi Jinping said, look up at the starry sky and keep your feet on the ground. Empty talk harms the country, but hard work rejuvenates the country.
"Most people in this era have a story." They were walking by the sea, and the sea breeze was blowing in front of them, Hill said.
In the distance, the cliffs of the coast rose, and they formed a pale natural barrier, and people could only go ashore from the side port.
"Indeed," said the mate, "but the important thing is now."
"It's a pity you can understand that," Hill said.
"What a pity?" asked the first mate.
"If you can't see through it, I'll use your past to seduce you." Hill said, "I'm a demon after all."
"Oh, you must be joking, Greenwald." The mate laughed. "I'm not capable."
Hill also smiled, "I am a very principled person when it comes to judging things."
"oh?"
"My principle is to see, feel, and feel." Hill laughed.
The first officer also laughed loudly, "You are a guy a hundred times worse than pirates!"
"Don't say that about your director," Hill said, "beware I made you sleep with pigs in your first appearance."
"You're joking again, Greenwald," said the mate.
"I am not kidding."
"Then you are a thousand times worse than pirates," said the mate.
In fact, Gibbs played by the first mate did sleep in the pigsty when he appeared in the first "Pirates of the Caribbean", and Hill did not intend to change this plot. Ha ha.
Hill laughed again. The two returned with a smile like this. Leona stood by the side of the boat and knelt down on one knee when she saw Hill, "Your Highness, His Majesty Monroe has arrived."
Hill told the people under his command that his identity in the human world is the 'Prince of the Demon World', so he asked everyone to call him His Highness.
"Ah, here he is." Hill nodded with a smile.
The first officer next to me was taken aback, Your Majesty? What identity? Pope
After Leona finished speaking, Monroe had already appeared from the cabin, and Captain Rhodes was accompanying him, and it seemed that the two got along well.
"Monroe." Hill greeted in a good mood, "Come and find me~"
"No, I'm here to find Rhodes." Monroe said straightforwardly.
Hill: "..."
Hill: "Do you believe that I will cry for you?"
"Please don't make trouble, my king." Monroe said helplessly.
"My king?" Rhodes repeated.
Leona immediately said, "Her Majesty Monroe has pledged allegiance to His Royal Highness, so he will use this address." She was quite clever.
The first mate was startled, and automatically made up his mind: Has the Pope of the Dark Vatican already pledged his allegiance to this prince? It means that there is a great possibility that he will inherit the position of Demon King in the future!
After a little thought, Monroe understood what Leona meant, so he added, "Well, he is my king alone."
To others, this sentence was a supplement to Leona's, but Hill couldn't help but want to hehe after hearing it.
King alone~
Because of the special relationship between the Death Bird and the Dark Vatican, Monroe hoped that the Dead Bird would join the Dark Vatican. As one of the four pirate kings, Captain Rhodes still has a great influence in this sea area. It is worth Monroe to treat with caution. In addition, it is necessary for him to go to the Plague Islands to see how the dark church branch is doing there. In summary, he came to Josh Kenny first.
"This is a matter between the two of you, so I won't interfere." Hill once again relaxed his power, "I'm only in charge of making movies."
"And my king, the activity funds are about to run out." Monroe said.
"Well, I'm also responsible for providing money." Hill said, "...how do you feel that I've had a bad time with you?"
"But you have power over me," Monroe said.
"Domination. Hey. Okay."
Monroe stayed on the set for the time being, and brought him along when they went to the Plague Islands to film.
02.
Elizabeth, who just woke up from a dream, found the pirate gold coin she got from Will. She touched the gold coin with her eyes downcast. Her eyes looked dreamy under the light of the candlestick.
What she was stroking at this time was not gold coins, but her own dream about pirates.
Then she suddenly smiled again and held the gold coin tightly. At this time, the gold coin symbolized Will Turner for her, representing the person she likes and her love.
Then she put the gold coin around her neck and quietly looked at herself in the mirror. At this moment, there was no smile on her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. This signifies that this noble girl also has her own concerns.
The change in expression in the past few seconds was as good as it could be, and all of this was the result of Olivia's own thinking.
Every night, the protagonists will sit together under the lamp to discuss the plot, analyze each other's characters, and Hill will watch and give some pointers on the lines. Sometimes it is very windy outside. Hill looks at the misty night outside, and then looks at the people around him who study the film seriously. He feels that such a crew life is not bad.
Olivia's acting skills are quite good now. Judging from the scene just now, it can be found that she has already entered this role—or she was originally this role.
After the scene, Hill put the projection stone back in place: "Your acting has improved again."
Previously, Hill only used one or two projection stones to shoot each time. Now he uses multiple shots each time. There will be many shots to choose from in the final editing and post-production. Very difficult magic practice. Now that he can master so much magic information mixing and extraction, it is also related to the fact that he has been making movies and animations for post-production.
"Thank you for your affirmation." Olivia raised the corner of her skirt and saluted, "I learned a lot of new things in Winter City, and I also gained a new understanding of acting."
"I can see it." Hill said, "Being alone makes people grow faster, and real acting skills need life experience to hone."
"I have to thank Mr. Greenwald for giving me this opportunity, and I also have to thank you, sir, for your guidance all the time." Olivia said.
Hill could see that Olivia was quite sincere.
"You worked very hard, and you also have a good father." Hill smiled, and stopped continuing this topic, but ordered to start preparing for the next scene.
Olivia is very good, but she can enter Hill's vision first because she is the daughter of old Jackson. During the chat with Jackson Sr., Hill learned that their father-daughter relationship used to be mediocre, but the relationship gradually improved, and Hill didn't mind giving it a push.
Olivia was taken aback after hearing Hill's words. Is His Highness Greenwald reminding her to care more about her father? Ah, it seems to be true. If it wasn't for her father's cooperation with His Highness, many benefits would not be her turn. She couldn't help being ashamed that she only thought about other people and forgot to thank her father.
So after filming, Olivia returned to Magnolia City for two days, and brought up the incident with old Jackson. At the time, old Jackson was also a little emotional, "He always subverts my imagination of demons." Later, Later, the old Jackson mentioned this matter, and Hill replied: "Isn't it good to help others? It's good to help others, both emotionally and in terms of interests." He thought of the "Godfather" One sentence: "However, I will help others, and I will not sacrifice myself for others." "The Godfather", after the first two serials of "A Song of Ice and Fire", let's serialize this.
And back to filming.
When filming Jack Sparrow, Captain Rod's wonderful performance surprised everyone around him. He staggers around, sometimes looks crazy, and the first time he pops his orchid fingers, his crew almost jumped into the sea in fright. His eyes are sometimes drunken and hazy, sometimes cynical, and occasionally cold and sharp when others can't see them. Hill said before that wonderful acting skills depend on the honing of life. Captain Rhodes is definitely not as good as Johnny Depp in acting skills, but as a real pirate, his life experience must be better than that of people in peaceful times. Much richer.
At the beginning, some pirates muttered that his appearance was too detrimental to the image of the captain. Some pirates thought he looked like a sissy, and also looked like a gay. In fact, Disney on Earth designed this for himself by Johnny Depp. The same question was raised about the shape of the movie, but they agreed with Johnny Depp's insistence, so the classic image of Captain Jack was born.
Hill ignored the protests of these pirates, he just put them nearby and let them watch his captain's performance, and then the image of Captain Jack quickly convinced them... "Well, it does look like a powerful person "The pirates admitted, but a bystander laughed out loud when Captain Jack was playing with the navy, and Hill glared at him, ready to let the laughter go later.
The actors who played the navy were also pirates, and the islanders were jumping with excitement when they got the navy clothes on board. In order to make them appear more disciplined, Hill gave them military training for a few days in advance, which is the kind of military training on Earth.
By the way, most of the pirates' costumes are their own, Olivia's aristocratic costumes are also his own, and the navy's clothes are borrowed from Emperor Yulan, which saves a lot of cost for Hill.
Both Captain Rhodes and Olivia will interpret the details according to their own ideas. This kind of free play within a certain range can make the characters more vivid, and Hill encourages them to do this. Of course he wouldn't deliberately restore the original movie perfectly, that would outweigh the gain.
03.
At night, in Joan Baker's house, Hill, Olivia and Captain Rhodes sat in the study, discussing the plot and analyzing the characters.
Josh Kenny is in the south, and it is a seaport city, so the temperature in winter is not particularly low.
The weather tonight is not very good, I can hear the strong wind blowing outside, and the glass is also crackling and crackling. There is a candlestick on the desk, and a fire is burning in the fireplace. These are the two light sources in the study. They are not bright, but they look very soft. Compared with the cold wind of the winter night outside, it even gave birth to a sense of warmth.
"According to the plot, Will and Elizabeth made some wrong judgments, or betrayed Jack several times, but Jack only pissed off Norrington at the end. Can you say that?" Olivia asked.
"Yes, but this statement is too one-sided." Hill said, "Those judgments cannot be called mistakes. Will and Elizabeth are already excellent, but Jack will have a better way. He is as smart as a deal with the devil." It’s been the same—normal people are incomparable to him.”
"I don't think Jack has thought of a better solution in advance. He just has a general direction in his mind, and he is going to play it by ear when the time comes." Captain Rhodes put forward his own opinion.
"Yes. Captain Jack is such a person." Hill felt very relieved, Captain Rhodes' research on Jack was really deep.
"Crazy, but a genius." Captain Rhodes said a line in the movie, "Madness and greatness go hand in hand."
"Well... I was thinking, Will and I said something bad to Captain Jack. Although Captain Jack has his own ideas, he has been helping us and saved me. In the end, not only was Norling Dun caught it, and was treated like that by me and Will... Will Jack accept it?" Olivia looked at Captain Rhodes, "Captain?"
"Pirates are like this." Captain Rhodes said, "I accept it. Although I may be a little emotionally concerned, it's okay. If I have to care about it every time I am treated like this, I should have been pissed off or crazy... Well, although Now I'm actually kind of crazy."
Olivia said she was amused by the last sentence, and then she sighed, "But I think I'm a little embarrassed that we treated you this way."
"You are not pirates. If you can trust Jack at will, it means that you can also trust others at will, and you will be deceived even worse." Hill said. Also on Earth, there are indeed some people who don’t like Elizabeth and Will, but everyone stands on their own standpoints. As an audience, everyone has the perspective of God, but they don’t. They are already powerful enough.
"That's right..." Olivia nodded, "Although I understand, sometimes I feel that we should be passionate and sincere, no matter how high the price is."
"This may lead to death." Captain Rhodes reminded.
"But I've lived like that at least once." Olivia's eyes sparkled, "It's like Will told me I love you at the end, and then went to the execution ground to save you. He knew it might be useless, but he Still did it. I actually think it gave Elizabeth the courage to stand directly next to Will in front of her father and Norrington at the end."
Their way of chatting is very interesting, it is "I" for a while, and the name of the character is used for a while, but everyone can understand each other.
After hearing Olivia's words, Rhodes' eyes seemed to flash faintly, "Yes, you are right."
"OK, I believe you have grasped the feeling here, are there any other questions?" Hill said.
"Hmm." Olivia nodded, she thought for a while, and suddenly said, "How does Jack feel about Elizabeth?" She looked at Rhodes, "Captain Jack?"
Rhodes said without hesitation: "I like it very much... because you are very beautiful, have a brain, and can fight, which is rare." It seems that he has also thought about this issue.
There is no filming of the two getting along on the isolated island yet, but they have read the script. In the script, after a drunken chat, Captain Jack put his arm around Elizabeth, and although Elizabeth said words of resistance, she did not push him away. .
"This reason sounds a bit sad, it's too simple." Olivia said, "Is there no deeper level?"
"These are enough to make many people tempted. I believe that if there is a sequel, if you continue to float on the sea, there will be more pirates who like you, and they are all excellent pirates." Rhodes said, "Only good enough pirates That’s why I think they are worthy of you.”
"That's true." Hill gave an affirmative answer. In the movie, many people are indeed tempted by Olivia, including Chow Yun-fat, the pirate king of Singapore who appeared later.
"But it won't help," Olivia shook her head, she said disapprovingly, "I love Will, unless..."
"Unless I intervene, right?" Captain Rhodes showed a Jack-like smile at Olivia.
"...but I still love Will." Olivia said after a moment of hesitation.
Hill looked at them like this from the side, feeling very funny.
Shoot a movie, go deep into the heart of a character to play her, and then know that that character has a faint ambiguity with another character, and the two are sitting here currently discussing. Geez, this feels like fun.
Hill thought.
"Interesting." Captain Rhodes said while playing with the dagger, he has almost completely entered the state of Captain Jack at the moment, "I understand that a pirate is not suitable for marriage. But you can sleep with me and then not be responsible for me. You know me Don't mind, Elizabeth."
Olivia breathed heavily for a few seconds, "... I admit that I like you a little bit, but I also understand the reason quite well. I yearned for pirates since I was a child, but you appeared, saved me, and broke my peaceful life , you are very strong, you fit all my imagination of pirates, to some extent you represent my dream, but at the same time I understand that people like you love the sea the most. My love for Will is beyond doubt, I would like you, but I know what I want."
"Are you trying to convince yourself, baby." Captain Rhodes smiled, a cynical smile, "You love Will, I admit it, but the reason why you said you only like me is: you think you Not attractive enough for me isn't it? I love the sea so don't put loving you first, your pride won't allow you to choose a man who doesn't put you first, right? "
Olivia stood up abruptly, picked up the sword over there and pointed at Captain Rhodes: "Shut up, pirate."
Hill, who was watching with gusto, was taken aback, "Wait, calm down, you are acting, don't make a real fuss."
Olivia was confused for a while, and then she came to her senses. She put down her sword and smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, Captain Rhodes, I, I got too into the drama."
Captain Rhodes smiled wryly: "Sorry, I'm a little too into the drama."
Hill was dying of laughter beside him.
This is so funny hahaha. Put tidbits, put tidbits, hahaha.
