Chapter 619 "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is coming
On June 30th, the new film "Mission: Impossible 3" starring Tom Cruise will be released.
Unaffected by divorce and various negative news, Tom Cruise's appeal is quite astonishing. The film took in $60.35 million at the box office in its first week.
It is worth noting that Paramount is quite satisfied with this first-week box office, and the film's overseas performance is also quite good.
If "Mission: Impossible 3" repeats the route of its previous life, Paramount will probably be quite desperate and there will be a storm.
But under normal circumstances, although the profit is not much, at least it will not strain the relationship between Paramount and Tom Cruise.
Little Gilbert didn't go to support it, but he still helped promote it on social accounts.
At the same time, he also said to Tom Cruise: "As agreed last time, I will play a cool agent."
Tom Cruise said no problem: "Of course man, he must be a cool agent."
The interaction between the two attracted the attention of many people. Some people left a message saying that they were already looking forward to the appearance of little Gilbert in "Mission: Impossible".
It's not uncommon for directors to guest star in movies, and little Gilbert has also made guest appearances in a few movies, not too many.
"Mission: Impossible 3" only lasted for a week. On July 7, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" was released.
Ever since Gilbert Jr.'s "Pirates of the Caribbean", the hype for the second installment has never stopped. And this time the director has been changed for the sequel, which makes fans a little worried.
But fortunately, the original cast is back, with Johnny Depp continuing to play the charming Captain Jack Sparrow, Orlando Bloom continuing to play Will Turner, and Keira Knightley playing Elizabeth Swann. .
The biggest surprise is the return of Geoffrey Rush, who was so impressive as Captain Barbossa in the last episode, and he returns in this episode.
This is a film for which he is the producer. Little Gilbert took time out and went to the premiere with Scarlett to support it.
Because of the influence left by the previous film, the film has still accumulated a certain number of fans. In addition, the quality of the trailer is quite good, and the premiere day was quite lively.
Walking quickly down the red carpet as usual, little Gilbert met the creators.
Everyone respects him as a great director, especially Orlando Bloom, who is currently involved in the "Hobbit" project, and naturally hopes that Gilbert Jr. will support him.
"Director Gilbert Jr."
"Orlando, how are you doing lately? I heard you are resuming training?" Little Gilbert asked.
Orlando Bloom said: "Yes, the skills I practiced while filming "The Lord of the Rings" are already outdated, so I need to pick them up again."
"That's good," little Gilbert nodded and said, "I have watched the internal preview version of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". Your performance is very good and you have made great progress. Keep up the good work."
"Thank you, director, I will try my best." Orlando Bloom looked delighted.
After Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley also came to speak. Scarlett looked at Keira Knightley's mediocre figure and nodded with satisfaction. Little Gilbert looked down on such a woman.
After chatting with Keira Knightley, little Gilbert finally saw Johnny Depp.
This Hollywood weirdo always wears weird costumes, even for movie premieres. In public, this is actually extremely disrespectful behavior.
However, in this country that pursues freedom, is unconventional, and shows itself to be unique, Johnny Depp has been loved by a large number of fans.
Based on this, others will not care about some disrespectful behaviors, but it can also bring topics.
"John, did you get high again last night?" Little Gilbert asked when he saw Johnny Depp looking dazed.
Johnny Depp smiled and said: "Hey! Director Gilbert, you don't know how hot those girls were last night."
Little Gilbert frowned: "Although this is your private life, I still want to remind you to pay attention. Your image is related to the success or failure of the movie, so you need to be extra careful."
Little Gilbert's serious reminder made Johnny Depp serious, and he promised: "I will pay attention, Little Gilbert, Director."
There is nothing to say about the movie watching. Director Stephen Sommers fulfilled Little Gilbert's requirements very well and produced an excellent commercial film. It is worth mentioning that the Rolling Stones' Gene Richards guest-starred as Captain Jack Sparrow's father in the film. When Johnny Depp played Captain Jack Sparrow, his prototype was Gene Richards.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" adopts the model of two and three parts being produced together, just like the two and three parts of "The Matrix". The second part will be released this year, and the third part will be released next year depending on the situation.
Judging from the reputation of the previous preview screenings, the quality of the film is still quite good.
After the film screening, little Gilbert asked Scarlett how she felt: "How do you feel?"
Scarlett thought for a while and replied: "I think it's pretty good, the picture has improved a lot, and the plot is full of highlights. Especially Johnny Depp's performance, no wonder many people like it."
Gilbert Jr. said: "Johnny Depp received a salary of 40 million U.S. dollars from the two films, as well as part of the box office share, which is not a bad treatment for him."
"If the movie continues to be a hit, will there be a sequel?" Scarlett asked.
"This is natural. Even if I don't want to do it, Warner and Disney will not miss it."
"Then you have to be careful, just in case Johnny Depp opens his mouth. Now it seems that the film is inseparable from his wonderful performance."
Scarlett is right. The last time Johnny Depp played Captain Jack Sparrow, he was nominated for an Oscar.
Although this is more of a credit to public relations, it at least proves how deeply rooted Johnny Depp's Captain Jack is in the hearts of the people.
Little Gilbert naturally knew Johnny Depp's importance to the series, but he didn't think he could convince Johnny Depp to reduce his pay just by asking.
Even if Johnny Depp is willing, there are so many people around him. Agents, friends, and family would not agree.
Sometimes a star is not just a star, but a huge interest group can be formed around the star. These interest groups are actually sucking blood from the star.
You said, can celebrities not know this? Of course I know, but celebrities also need these vampires to satisfy certain aspects of their needs, such as vanity.
There is a very special profession in Hollywood called celebrity friends. These friends eat, drink and have fun with the stars. They also have fun with the stars, play with women, men or both, and even have parties together.
The role of a close friend is to flatter the star and make him feel comfortable.
Because of the relationship between close friends, Hollywood has caused many scandals. All the bad things about Angelina Jolie in her early days were exposed to the media by her friends.
Therefore, most people in Hollywood have some problems with their brains.
Later, little Gilbert accepted an interview with the media and praised the crew and creators.
"This is a great team, they have done a great job." Gilbert Jr. said: "There is a very interesting thing.
Stephen told me that when the crew was filming in the Dominican Republic, just having to deal with food was a big hassle.
600 crew members went to Dominica, and more than 400 people were hired locally in Dominica.
For this island country that presents the Caribbean style of 200 years ago, the filming of the film made the place very lively.
On important shooting days, the catering department prepares three meals a day for 780 to 840 people. Breakfast alone requires 1,100 to 1,500 eggs, 100 to 160 pounds of bacon, 80 loaves of bread, 50 pounds of sausages, more than 10 boxes of fruit, etc. wait.
All food is shipped locally from the United States, except for Dominican produce.
Regarding the dietary issue alone, the crew made great efforts to ensure the completion of the film.
Here, I would like to express my respect to the crew and hope that everyone will like this movie. ”
The premiere ended in a lively manner, and the media attention was quite high.
Maybe it's because of the previous film, or maybe it's because the film's production is really excellent. After it was released, the film burst out with incredible energy.
