Chapter 620 Little Gilbert’s Appeal


Chapter 620 Little Gilbert’s Appeal

"The huge octopus, the pirates who are a mixture of humans and marine creatures, the exquisitely crafted pirate ships, etc., show their charming charm in the atmospheric and exciting music.

The most thrilling thing is the moment when Davy Jones's huge pet octopus wreaks havoc on the Royal Battleship Edinburgh. Its super destructive power is really breathtaking. ”

"Johnny Depp's charismatic performance enhances the film, and Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley's interactions are entertaining enough.

Of course, if the producer of the film was not Gilbert Jr., I don't think the sequel movie would be very good. ”

"Director Stephen Sommers has completed the task very well and given the audience enough surprises. I think the second part is a work that comprehensively surpasses the first."

"Without Johnny Depp's performance and the charismatic Captain Jack Sparrow, the film would probably be another ostentatious production that doesn't live up to its name.

But the plot is too obscure and complicated, and some parts are too loose and even end without explanation; in addition, the performances of the mass pirates are not as interesting as the first part. ”

After the premiere, comments about "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" flooded online media.

This is where online media has an advantage over traditional paper media in that it can respond quickly. Today's Hollywood is paying more and more attention to online promotion.

However, they still don't pay enough attention to it. They must know that the Internet is not only fast in response, but also a multi-functional entertainment platform.

But as Warner and Disney lay out their online platforms, Hollywood will definitely attach great importance to the online field in the future. Perhaps when Netflix is ​​established, it will be discovered that Internet video resources have long been occupied by major Hollywood companies.

Of course, while Gilbert Jr. has been pushing Warner and Disney to focus on streaming platforms, he is actually a staunch advocate of the big screen.

Little Gilbert believes that you have to watch a movie in a cinema to feel it. Movies are born for the big screen.

When he was a director of major online movies in his previous life, little Gilbert had always hoped that one day he would be able to develop into the big screen, but he was never able to do so and had to be a dog for popular celebrities.

With his current status, those traffic stars are not even qualified to be his dog.

There is no doubt that a movie like "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" needs to be watched on the big screen to be enjoyable and enjoyable.

In recent years, with the development of DVD, the development of Internet videos, and the popularization of the concept of private home theaters, some people will always say that movies can be watched anywhere, and it makes no difference whether or not you go to the cinema.

But in fact, the effect of watching on DVD or computer is far inferior to that in a movie theater, and the Internet is also limited by definition and speed.

As for private home theaters, not everyone can afford them. The most basic ones cost between ten and twenty thousand dollars, and the top ones cost more than hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In contrast, spending more than ten dollars to go to the cinema to watch a movie has become the least stressful consumption.

Little Gilbert believes that as long as the art of movies does not disappear, going to the cinema will still be the cheapest way to get a great movie-watching experience.

Of course, if you don’t care about that, it would actually be good to watch DVDs and videos on the Internet in the future.

In North America, a well-developed market, the movie theater business can continue to be booming for a long, long time and will not end so easily.

In fact, Gilbert Jr. once discussed the form of movie expression with Jobs. Jobs believed that the development of technology in the future would replace movie theaters.

For example, VR is a very popular concept nowadays, and you can watch movies through VR glasses.

But if you want to achieve the desired effect, you have to invest a lot of time, manpower and material resources in research and development.

Of course, this is just a fantasy for the future. Whether it can be realized before little Gilbert retires remains to be seen!

After the premiere, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" officially opened its midnight screenings.

After this year's continuous baptism of blockbusters such as "The Last of Us", "Transformers", and "Iron Man", "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" started in July and set off another wave of movie viewing frenzy.

Doug and Zoe are both old fans of Little Gilbert. They have been following and supporting Little Gilbert since his debut in "Shark Beach".

Now they have three children, living a harmonious life, and the whole family is also a fan of little Gilbert. Because of the terrifying background in the trailer of "The Last of Us," the couple ended up watching it on their own. But this time, the three children had been clamoring to watch "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", so the couple took their children to watch the midnight screening.

"Wow." Although they don't have much experience in going to the cinema, the three children are all old movie fans.

Seeing the crowds of people in the cinema, the three children all expressed their amazement.

Doug went to get the tickets, and then bought popcorn, chips, and Coke, and came back to share with the children.

Before the movie started, the family found an empty seat and sat down to chat.

Zoe said: "I saw a big octopus in the trailer, are you afraid?"

The eldest son Jerry said: "Don't be afraid, I will protect my younger brothers and sisters."

Doug praised: "It's great, our Jerry is a man!"

My younger brother Wilson also said: "I'm not afraid either, I want to eat a big octopus."

Sister Lisa hugged Doug's thigh and said, "Dad will protect me, and I'm not afraid either."

An old man with a beard on the side smiled and said: "The little guys are very brave!"

"Hahaha, yes." Doug replied: "Are you here to watch the midnight show too?"

"Of course," the bearded man said, showing his badge: "I am a senior member of the Little Gilbert Fans Association in the Los Angeles area.

I’ve already watched “The Last of Us” and “Iron Man” this year.

After attending the red carpet ceremony of the premiere today, we went to the cinema. ”

Zoe envied: "It's great. We have children to take care of, so we couldn't go to the scene."

"It's okay," the bearded man said: "When the children grow up, they can go. Little Gilbert must still be making movies by then."

"That's right."

In fact, the average movie fans do not have that high support for the films for which Gilbert Jr. is the producer, such as the "Mystery of the Spell" series, the "Fast and Furious" series, and the "Harry Potter" series.

The reason why these series of movies are so popular is that they have their own attractions for movie fans, so they can be filmed one after another.

What is special is the "Matrix" series. When "The Matrix" came out, it shocked a large number of people.

So although Gilbert Jr. will no longer direct it himself, there will still be fans to support it because of the title of the first film. The quality of the last two films did not disappoint, at least they were of a good standard.

As the films produced by Little Gilbert become hits one after another, not to mention movie fans, even ordinary audiences have a kind of trust in the name Little Gilbert.

This kind of trust is not inexplicable. It is accumulated by Gilbert Jr.'s more than ten years of career and the creation of countless box office myths. This is the box office appeal.

No matter what the subject matter of the movie is, as long as little Gilbert's name is in the film's production list, it will always attract a large number of audiences to watch the movie in the cinema.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Black Pearl" is a work directed by Gilbert Jr. It is an original fantasy IP and has also achieved good box office results.

As for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest", this is a sequel movie that inherits the IP, which is different from the first one.

Therefore, Warner and Disney have great expectations for this movie. Internal predictions are that the North American box office will be 280 million US dollars and the global box office will be more than 800 million US dollars.
