Chapter 415 Young Girls (Part 2)
Piracy is a profession with a very long history, ever since humans learned to build ships and carry out water trade. If there is luck, there will be people to rob, so pirates appear.
The earliest clear record of piracy is "Homer's Epic" in the eighth century BC. But the ancient Greeks did not hate pirates very much. Legendary heroes such as Achilles and Odyssey all committed pirates' deeds.
Perhaps because of this, thieves and robbers on land will be despised, but if it is changed to sea, the moral evaluation will be relatively loose.
Pirates have a loose side of killing, but they often become a symbol of freedom, courage, and passion.
For example, in the popular comic "One Piece" from the island country, if you become a pirate in reality, you will probably face encirclement and suppression.
But say to the "One Piece" anime: "I am the man who wants to be the Pirate King..."
It is estimated that others will not have a big reaction after hearing this. At most, they will think that you are obsessed with watching anime and have some chuunibyou.
The reason for this inherent impression may be that the ocean does not have clear territorial ownership and advocates a more thorough law of the jungle.
In addition, the early pirates were indeed full of adventurous and pioneering spirit. Those navigators in the Age of Discovery were actually more appropriately called pirates than navigators.
But without them, the era of geographical discovery might not have arrived so early.
Another very important point is that there were usually national political forces behind pirates in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Especially the United Kingdom, during the Age of Discovery, issued privateering licenses to pirates, allowing them to plunder on orders and share the money with everyone after they were done.
The famous Captain Drake was knighted by the British royal family because of his outstanding robbery skills, and he also had his own fief.
This title is more valuable than little Gilbert's, and at least it also comes with a fief.
As for little Gilbert, apart from a few chats with the Queen, all he had left were a few antiques brought from the British royal family's treasury.
Previously, there were not many pure pirate-themed movies in Hollywood history, and most of them were blockbusters.
Moreover, this kind of subject matter would be somewhat boring if it were shot as it was historically.
In addition, several pirate movies hit the streets continuously in the 1980s and 1990s, but film companies did not dare to touch this subject.
Therefore, this "Pirates of the Caribbean" incorporates horror, adventure, fantasy, comedy and other elements. Previous lives have proven that this direction is very successful.
Avril Lavigne sat down in her seat. This wasn't her first movie premiere.
She attended the premiere of "Heartbeat" at the end of last year and sang the movie's theme song.
Today's premiere looks a little more lively than that day, probably because the summer season is coming.
After a while, the huge theater was filled with people, and Emma Watson happened to be sitting on the left of Avril Lavigne. She also recognized that this was little Hermione.
Avril Lavigne smiled and talked to Emma Watson: "Are you Hermione? Can we take a photo later?"
Normally, Emma Watson would not refuse. It seems that the beautiful young lady in front of her is her fan.
But looking at the beautiful Avril Lavigne, Emma Watson became angry and responded viciously: "I won't take a photo with you, huh!"
"Uh!" Avril Lavigne scratched her head. She didn't know what was wrong with the girl next to her. Did she offend her?
Before I could explore the root cause, the second part of the movie premiere began. The movie theater that was a little noisy just now fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were turned to the big screen.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" is not the "Lord of the Rings" series, but as long as Gilbert's name is listed as the director, the movie will always be the most watched one in the summer.
"It's started, it's started..." Noel, who was sitting in the back, rubbed his hands expectantly. He has been a fan of Little Gilbert since the "Lord of the Rings" series.
Although the story of "Lord of the Rings" has come to an end, life must go on and movies must continue to be watched.
Noel had seen several trailers of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and became very interested in the film. This time he also made some connections and won the box office of the premiere.
Hutchinson, who was watching from the side, was in the same situation. He even said: "I have dreamed of being a pirate since I was a child, or looking for pirate treasures.
Thanks to little Gilbert for making this dream come true. "
"Shh! Stop dreaming, the movie is about to start..." Noel interrupted Hutchinson's thoughts.
At the beginning of the movie, the familiar title flashed by, and the movie quickly got to the point.
The story begins with a girl called Elizabeth Swann, the character played by Emma Roberts.
Emma Watson was a little unhappy when she saw Emma Roberts appear. Also named Emma, why can she appear in a movie directed by Gilbert Jr.?
Why? Of course, it was because the big-mouthed Julia Roberts left. She was just a character with a small role. Of course, little Gilbert gave Julia Roberts some face.
Seeing her character on the big screen feels magical to Emma Roberts. It's really magical.
In fact, when filming, she shot in a scene set up in a studio, surrounded by green screens. But when the movie was made, the effect was very realistic.
Emma Roberts clapped her little hands excitedly: "Wow, I look great!"
Julia Roberts was speechless. She never expected that her niece would be so narcissistic. The story continues. Although Elizabeth Swann is the daughter of the governor, she has longed for the life of a pirate since she was a child. When she went to sea with her father, she sang pirate songs on the bow of the ship.
Then she discovered Will Turner as a child and rescued him, discovering a pirate's coin on his chest.
Elizabeth Swann immediately hid the coin to avoid being discovered.
Fast forward eight years, and Elizabeth wears the pirate coin around her neck. The governor's father wanted to marry Elizabeth to a commodore. He thought that the commodore named Norrington was a quick son-in-law.
But Elizabeth was very opposed to this marriage, especially after wearing the most popular corset in London, and she didn't want to marry Norrington.
Looking at this outfit in the film, Avril Lavigne thought it was funny, but if she were asked to wear this outfit, she would rather die.
What a nice pair of jeans. Wearing this outfit is torture.
After thinking about it, Avril Lavigne glanced at Emma Watson next to her and thought to herself; This damn girl looks good in this dress, and looks better than her in a magic robe...
Will Turner, who was rescued eight years ago, is now a blacksmith.
When Will Turner, played by Orlando Bloom, appeared, the sound of saliva and swallowing could be heard in the theater.
I guess it's Orlando Bloom's female fans who are coveting his body again.
Will Turner sent a sword he made himself. He was obviously interested in Elizabeth Swann, but the class gap between the two was too big.
After a brief opening, accompanied by the powerful and exciting BGM, Captain Jack Sparrow, who is calm in the panic, masculine and a little girly, can destroy the ship and survive, and is stronger than me, appears on the stage.
Not to mention, the enchanting appearance of Captain Jack Sparrow played by Johnny Depp really shocked all the guests and fans at the premiere.
Johnny Depp's previous movie roles also had weird looks.
When this man with smoky make-up walked calmly onto the deck with enchanting cat steps, a charm that was unique to him emerged spontaneously.
I don’t know why, but I think Captain Jack is very cool and handsome.
Avril Lavigne looked at Captain Jack Sparrow with smoky make-up on the big screen and was stunned for a long time. Except that this appearance was not as beautiful as her own, it was almost the same.
She looked towards the direction where director Gilbert Little was sitting and murmured in her mind; Could it be that Director Gilbert Little really liked smoky makeup, no wonder Miss Boone wanted to show her most beautiful side.
Avril Lavigne thinks she is most beautiful when she wears smoky makeup, so she dresses like this.
Unexpectedly, Miss Boone grasped Director Gilbert's thoughts so accurately. She is worthy of being a gold medal agent in Hollywood.
I have to say that rock girls have a little bit of brain power.
In fact, Captain Jack Sparrow's appearance is indeed based on the rock guitarist Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. What Gilbert told his stylist at the beginning was a general image.
The reference answer that the stylist found was the image of Jack Sparrow created by Keith Richards.
The film continues during Avril Lavigne's fantasy.
The purpose of Jack Sparrow's trip is to get a ship so that he can continue his pirate adventure career. But apparently the royal soldiers on the docks would not agree, so Jack Sparrow struggled with the soldiers.
On the other side, after Commodore Norrington's inauguration ceremony, Norrington took Elizabeth to the castle wall to watch the sea.
Norrington was talking about love when he turned around and found Elizabeth jumping into the sea. He was still surprised. Was his confession so ugly? Elizabeth couldn't bear it and committed suicide by jumping into the sea?
In fact, it was because of the corset that the corset made Elizabeth feel uncomfortable and accidentally fell into the sea.
Just as this scene was discovered by Captain Jack, he went to rescue people first and discovered the pirate coin on Elizabeth's chest.
When he landed, royal soldiers from the dock and the castle rushed over, and Commodore Norrington also discovered Jack Sparrow's pirate mark.
So an interesting chase scene began. Captain Jack braved a hail of bullets that would never hit him and ran to Will Turner's blacksmith shop.
They happened to run into Will Turner, and the two had some fun with swords.
The action scenes of "Pirates of the Caribbean" are not traditional action scenes. They do not pursue physical and physical action. Instead, they have a strong acrobatic temperament and often use scene props.
In fact, the design of the action routines comes from the Marriage Class, so it has a very obvious Cheng Long-style movie style.
This is the tone set by the opening of the entire film. Little Gilbert hopes that the audience will feel relaxed and happy when participating in the adventure story of Captain Jack Sparrow.
Most of the previous pirate movies reflected the bloody side of pirates, which were too scary and not too commercial.
Although this is the essence of pirates, it does not work as a commercial film.
Therefore, it is a very good choice to add a lot of commercial elements to the movie and add comedy and humorous scenes, such as Cheng Long's action comedy style.
The effect was very good when viewed live, at least when Captain Jack and Will Turner were fighting, the audience would laugh from time to time.
But for the film, this is just the beginning.
