Chapter 415 Young Girls (Part )

Pirates are a profession with a very long history, ever since humans learned to build ships and conduct water trade. If you are lucky, you will definitely rob, so pirates appeared.

The earliest clear record of piracy was in the epic poems of Homer in the eighth century BC. But the ancient Greeks did not hate pirates very much, as heroes such as Achilles and Odyssey had done pirate deeds.

Perhaps this is why thieves and robbers on land are despised, but if they are at sea, the moral evaluation will be relatively lenient.

Pirates have a murderous and lenient side, but they are often also a symbol of freedom, courage, and passion.

For example, in the Japanese hot-blooded comic "One Piece", if you become a pirate in real life, you will probably face encirclement and suppression.

But to the anime "One Piece", I say: "I want to be the man of Pirate King..."

I guess other people wouldn't have a big reaction after hearing this. At most, they would think that you are obsessed with anime and have some kind of chuunibyou syndrome.

The reason for this inherent impression may be that the ocean has no clear territorial ownership and advocates a more thorough law of the jungle.

In addition, early pirates were indeed full of adventurous and pioneering spirit. The navigators in the Age of Discovery were more like pirates than navigators.

But without them, the Age of Discovery might not have arrived so early.

Another very important point is that there were usually national political forces behind the pirates in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Especially Britain, which issued privateering licenses to pirates during the Age of Exploration, allowing the pirates to rob on orders and share the money after the robbery.

The famous Captain Drake was knighted by the British royal family because of his outstanding robbery skills and was also given his own fiefdom.

This title is more valuable than little Gilbert's, at least it comes with a fiefdom.

As for little Gilbert, apart from chatting with the Queen, the rest of the time he brought back a few antiques from the British royal treasury.

There were not many pure pirate-themed movies in Hollywood's history, and most of them were flops.

Moreover, if this kind of subject matter were to be filmed in the same way as it was in history, it would be somewhat boring.

In addition, several pirate movies failed in the 1980s and 1990s, so film companies did not dare to touch this subject.

Therefore, this "Pirates of the Caribbean" incorporates elements of horror, adventure, fantasy, comedy, etc., and this direction has been proven to be very successful in the past.

Avril Lavigne took her seat, this wasn't her first time attending a movie premiere.

She attended the premiere of "The Fault in Our Stars" at the end of last year and sang the theme song of the movie.

Today's premiere seemed a little more lively than that day, probably because the summer movie season is approaching.

Soon, the huge theater was full of people. Emma Watson happened to be sitting on the left of Avril Lavigne. She recognized her, this was little Hermione.

Avril Lavigne smiled and talked to Emma Watson: "Are you Hermione? Can we take a photo together later?"

Normally, Emma Watson would not refuse, it seems that the beautiful girl in front of her is her fan.

But looking at the beautiful Avril Lavigne, Emma Watson was furious and responded viciously: "I won't take a photo with you, huh!"

"Uh!" Avril Lavigne scratched her head, wondering what was wrong with the girl next to her. Did she offend her?

Before we had time to find out the reason, the second part of the movie premiere began. The theater, which had been a little noisy just now, suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were on the big screen.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" is not a "Lord of the Rings" series, but as long as Gilbert Jr.'s name is listed as the director, the movie will always be the most watched one in the summer season.

"It's begun, it's begun..." Noel, who was sitting in the back, rubbed his hands expectantly. He became a fan of Gilbert Jr. since the Lord of the Rings series.

Although the story of "The Lord of the Rings" has come to an end, life must go on and movies must continue to be watched.

Noel had previously watched several trailers for "Pirates of the Caribbean" and had developed quite an interest in the film. This time he also used some connections to get the box office for the premiere.

The same was true for Hutchinson, who was watching along. He even said, "Since I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a pirate or looking for pirate treasure.

Thanks to little Gilbert, I made this dream come true.”

"Shh! Stop dreaming, the movie is about to start..." Noel interrupted Hutchinson's fantasy.

The movie opens with the familiar opening credits flashing by, and then the film quickly gets to the point.

The story begins with a girl named Elizabeth Swan, which is the character played by Emma Roberts.

Emma Watson was a little unhappy when she saw Emma Roberts appear. She is also called Emma, ​​so why can she appear in a movie directed by Gilbert Jr.?
Why? Of course it was because the big mouth Julia Roberts had connections. It was just a role with few scenes, so Gilbert Jr. certainly gave Julia Roberts a face.

Emma Roberts felt something magical about seeing her character appear on the big screen. It was really magical.

In fact, she filmed in a set built in a studio, surrounded by green screens. But the film turned out to be very realistic.

Emma Roberts clapped her hands excitedly: "Wow, I look so good!"

Julia Roberts was speechless. She didn't expect her niece to be so narcissistic. The story continues. Although Elizabeth Swan 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.

She then discovered Will Turner as a child, rescued him, and found a pirate's coin on his chest.

Elizabeth Swan immediately hid the coin to avoid being discovered.

Eight years later, Elizabeth wore the pirate coin around her neck. Her father, the governor, wanted to marry Elizabeth to a commodore, and he thought that this commodore named Norrington was a good son-in-law.

But Elizabeth was very opposed to this marriage, especially after she put on the most popular corset in London, she didn't want to marry Norrington even more.

Avril Lavigne thought the dress in the movie was funny, but she would rather die if she had to wear it.

Jeans are so nice, it’s so painful to wear this outfit.

As she was thinking, Avril Lavigne glanced at Emma Watson next to her and thought to herself; this girl would look good in this dress, 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, a noticeable swallowing sound could be heard in the theater.

I guess it’s Orlando Bloom’s female fans who are envious of his body again.

Will Turner sent a sword he made himself. He was obviously interested in Elizabeth Swan, but the class gap between them was too big.

After a brief opening, accompanied by the majestic and exciting BGM, there was a hint of calmness in the panic, a little femininity in the masculinity, the ship was destroyed but the people survived, and Captain Jack Sparrow, who was stronger than the waves, appeared on the stage.

It’s no wonder that Johnny Depp’s charming look as Captain Jack Sparrow really surprised all the guests and fans at the premiere.

Johnny Depp's previous movie roles all had very strange appearances.

When this man with smoky makeup walked calmly onto the deck with his seductive cat steps, a unique charm of his emerged.

I don’t know why, but I think Captain Jack is very cool and handsome.

Avril Lavigne stared at Captain Jack Sparrow with smoky makeup on the big screen and was stunned for a long time. The look was almost the same as hers, except that he was not as pretty as her.

She looked in the direction where director Gilbert Jr. was sitting and muttered to herself; Could it be that Director Gilbert Jr. really likes smoky makeup? No wonder Miss Boone wanted to show her best side.

Avril Lavigne feels that she looks her most beautiful when she wears smoky makeup, so she dressed up like that.

I didn't expect that Miss Boone had such an accurate grasp of Director Gilbert's mind. She is worthy of being Hollywood's gold medal agent.

I have to say that rock girls have a pretty strong imagination.

In fact, the look of Captain Jack was indeed based on the rock guitarist Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. At the beginning, Gilbert Jr. and the stylist talked about a general image.

The reference answer that the stylist found was the image of Jack Sparrow created based on Keith Richards.

The film continues during Avril Lavigne's fantasy.

The purpose of Jack Sparrow's trip was to get a ship so that he could continue his pirate adventure, but it was obvious that the royal soldiers on the dock would not agree, so Jack Sparrow entangled with the soldiers.

On the other side, after Brigadier General Norrington's inauguration ceremony, Norrington took Elizabeth to the top of 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 wondering, was his confession so unpleasant? Did Elizabeth jump into the sea and commit suicide?
In fact, it was because of the corset that Elizabeth felt so uncomfortable that she accidentally fell into the sea.

This scene happened to be discovered by Captain Jack. He went to rescue people first and found the pirate coin on Elizabeth's chest.

When he came ashore, royal soldiers from the dock and the castle rushed over, and Brigadier General Norrington also discovered Jack Sparrow's pirate mark.

So an interesting chase scene began. Captain Jack ran to Will Turner's blacksmith shop under a hail of bullets that could never hit him.

He happened to meet Will Turner, and the two of them played with swords.

The action scenes in "Pirates of the Caribbean" are not traditional action scenes. They do not pursue physical fistfights. Instead, they have a strong acrobatic temperament and often use scene props.

In fact, the design of the action routines comes from the Jacky Cheung Stunt Team, so it has a very obvious Jackie Chan-style movie style.

This is the tone set by the entire opening of the film. Gilbert Jr. hopes that the audience will feel relaxed and happy when participating in Captain Jack's adventure story.

Most of the previous pirate movies showed the bloody side of pirates. They were too scary and not very commercial.

While this is the nature of Pirates, it would not work as a commercial film.

Therefore, adding a lot of commercial elements into the movie and adding comedy and humorous scenes, such as Jackie Chan's action comedy style, is a very good choice.

The effect on site was very good. At least when Captain Jack and Will Turner were fighting, the audience laughed from time to time.

But for the film, this is just the beginning.
