Chapter 116 "Pirates of the Caribbean" Premiere!
The opening of a new series is definitely not something that Wu Yuan and Elard can discuss in a few words.

But both of them were very interested in this plan and made a preliminary verbal agreement. After "Pirates of the Caribbean" is released, everyone will sit down and discuss it in detail.

Wu Yuan is not worried that after hearing the idea of ​​"Kingsman", Elad would dare to leave the Light Age and go it alone.

Are you kidding me, New Line is not the only film production company in Hollywood.

When Wu Yuan proposed this plan, he had already decided that no matter whether New Line finally agreed to cooperate or not, he would push forward the plan of the "Kingsman" series.

The difference is that if New Line agrees, it will add the prequel "Rush Hour 3". If it doesn't agree, he will immediately turn around and find Fox or Universal to cooperate in promoting the "Kingsman" project.

Anyway, relying solely on the Guangshidai family, it is true that such a large-scale series cannot be produced, and only low-cost comedy series can be produced.

"Then let's settle it first, and we'll talk about it in detail later." Wu Yuan clinked glasses with Elard with a smile on his face, and the two drank the champagne in the glasses together.

During the lunch, neither of them ate much, but they were both very satisfied with the lunch event.

Taking advantage of the last moment, Wu Yuan ate something in a hurry. After barely filling his stomach, he followed the creative team of the crew and left the lunch room first.

He has not forgotten business.

Today is the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

By the end of the luncheon, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

In an hour, the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean" begins.

The premiere was held right next to the Pirates of the Caribbean project in Disneyland.

Disney spent huge sums of money to build a temporary screening hall directly on the square, using all the latest film projection equipment. The entire screening hall can accommodate 1200 people watching movies at the same time.

The film critics and some professional media invited to watch the movie are already checking their credentials to enter the venue.

After Wu Yuan joined Depp, Jerry and others, the main creator of "Pirates of the Caribbean" entered the screening room through another internal passage ahead of others.

"Daniel, you're going to speak on stage as a representative of the crew, are you ready?" Jerry asked worriedly.

He was deeply afraid that Wu Yuan would speak arrogantly again and boast about something that would be difficult to achieve in Haikou.

"Of course I'm ready." Wu Yuan looked relaxed, "Jerry, don't worry, I've never been someone who talks nonsense."

"Don't you have confidence in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and don't think this movie will be a big hit at the box office?"

Can I say I have no confidence? Jerry cried in his heart.

For the first film in this series, his goal is really just to save money. As long as he can save money and accumulate popularity and change the public's impression of pirate movies, the next two sequels will have the capital to sell well.

As for the first movie being a hit, Jerry really couldn't imagine it being that good.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed so readily at the beginning that if the global box office of the first film could exceed [-] million US dollars, he would increase the director's fee for Wu Yuan. Didn't he just think that this condition was impossible to achieve.

"Of course I hope it will sell well, but we should be conservative in our predictions." Jerry said tactfully.

"Okay, I get it."

Seeing Wu Yuan's absent-minded response, KK sitting behind the two of them covered his mouth and snickered, why didn't he find the director so "rebellious" before.

More than half an hour later, Harvey Cotton led a group of the most important guests to the finale.

His presence also represented the official start of the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1".

After watching the VIPs who came with him sit in the second row, Harvey took the microphone and walked to the big screen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon!"

"I'm Harvey Cotton, Vice President of Walt Disney Pictures, and welcome to the premiere of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl."

"The preparation of this movie was really not easy."

"The idea of ​​shooting this film actually came from the theme park of the same name in Disneyland."

“After producer Jerry brought in Shrek writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio to get the script in place, he started looking for actors and directors.”

"In the end, we invited Daniel Wu, who is very good in terms of box office and awards, to direct the film."

"Depp is joined by Orlando and our beautiful British girl Keira Knightley."

"Although this film tells a fantasy story, the creators have not slack off on the relevant historical background. We specially invited historian Peter Twist as a consultant."

"He imparted relevant historical knowledge to various departments of the crew, from the customs of the time, details of dress, to daily life, navigation and military conditions and so on."

"In order to make this movie successfully, every staff member on the crew did their best to complete the task in hand."

"I'm also very honored that in the end we did it and presented a fantasy adventure to audiences all over the world!"

"I hope everyone will like this movie and this new fantasy adventure world created by Disney."

"So, please invite Daniel, the director of this film, I believe he has a lot to talk to you about."

Wu Yuan put down his upturned legs, got up and walked to the front of the stage, took the microphone from Harvey Cotton, exchanged places with him, and faced the thousands of guests present.

"Honestly, I don't really know what to say."

A burst of laughter sounded from the audience.

Wu Yuan intentionally made a serious expression: "Don't laugh, I'm really not joking."

"For a director, when the filming is finished, everything is over, at least as a director, it is all over."

"As for whether this movie will be loved by the audience in the end, the decision is not in the hands of the director, but in the hands of you."

"All I can do is to make this movie with my heart and try my best to make the best shot."

"And the only thing I can say to you is one sentence."

""Pirates of the Caribbean" is definitely a movie that is worth the price of admission and has endless aftertaste after watching it!"

Wu Yuan finished his speech cleanly and sat back in his seat.

The constant whispers and sparse movements in the auditorium gradually disappeared with the dimming of the lights, and everything returned to calm.

The sound of "Zizizi" film starting to rotate sounded, and the picture lit up on the big screen.

There's no opening sequence that's common with Disney animated films.

Coming up is the subtitle of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" wrapped in flames and full of pirate style.

The title appeared briefly for a few seconds before disappearing, and a sea full of fog appeared in front of the eyes of all audiences.

"Wow—"

A gorgeous warship, facing the wind and waves, rushed straight towards the audience.

"We are pirates~ We do all kinds of evil~ We burn, kill and loot~" In the background sound, the sweet childish voice of the little girl is singing a chilling song.

The legendary journey of "Pirates of the Caribbean" officially begins at this moment.

A pirate ship called the Black Pearl is about to set sail and smash all obstacles in its way!
