Chapter 620 Little Gilbert's Appeal
"The huge octopus, the pirates who are a hybrid of humans and marine life, the finely crafted pirate ship, etc., show their charming charm in the grand and exciting music.

The most thrilling moment was when Davy Jones's giant pet octopus wreaked havoc on the Royal Battleship Edinburgh, and its destructive power was truly breathtaking.

"Johnny Depp's charismatic performance adds a lot to the film, and the interaction between Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley is also interesting enough.

Of course, if the film hadn’t been produced by Gilbert Jr., I don’t think the sequel would have been very good.”

"Director Stephen Sommers did a great job and gave the audience enough surprises. I think the second film is a work that completely surpasses the first one."

"Without Johnny Depp's performance and the charming Captain Jack Sparrow, the film would have been another flashy, ostentatious production that didn't live up to its name.

But the plot is too obscure and complicated, and some parts are too loose or even left unexplained; in addition, the performances of the pirates are not as interesting as in the first film. "

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

This is where online media has an advantage over traditional paper media, which is the ability to respond quickly. And today's Hollywood is also paying more and more attention to online publicity.

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

However, as Warner and Disney develop online platforms, Hollywood will certainly pay more attention to the Internet in the future. Perhaps when Netflix is ​​established, it will be found that Internet video resources have long been occupied by major Hollywood companies.

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

Young Gilbert believes that movies can only be appreciated when watched in a cinema, and that movies are made for the big screen.

When he was a web movie director in his previous life, Gilbert Jr. always hoped that he would be able to develop into the big screen one day. However, this dream has never been realized and he still has to serve as a dog for traffic stars.

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

There is no doubt that a movie like "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" is only enjoyable enough when watched on the big screen.

In recent years, with the development of DVD, the development of Internet video, and the popularization of the concept of private home theater, there are always people saying that movies can be watched anywhere and it makes no difference whether to go to the cinema or not.

But in fact, the quality of watching on DVD or computer is far inferior to that in the cinema, and the Internet is also limited by clarity and speed.

Not everyone can afford a private home theater. The most basic ones cost $10,000 or $20,000, while the most advanced ones cost more than $100,000.

In comparison, spending a dozen dollars to go to the cinema to watch a movie becomes the least stressful consumption.

Gilbert Jr. believes that as long as the art of film 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 those things, it’s also nice to watch the DVD or the video on the Internet in the future.

In North America, a very well-developed market, the cinema business will continue to be hot for a very long time and will not end so easily.

In fact, Gilbert Jr. once discussed the form of film presentation with Jobs, and Jobs believed that future technological development would replace movie theaters.

For example, the VR concept is very popular nowadays, and people watch movies through VR glasses.

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

Of course, this is just a fantasy of the future. It remains to be seen whether it can be realized before Gilbert Jr. retires!

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

After a series of blockbuster hits this year such as "The Last of Us", "Transformers", and "Iron Man", "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" at the beginning of July has set off another wave of movie-watching craze.

Doug and Zoe are both old fans of Gilbert Jr. They have been following and supporting Gilbert Jr. since his debut in "The Shallows".

Now the couple has three children and lives a happy life. The whole family is also a fan of Gilbert Jr. They went to see The Last of Us by themselves because of the scary background in the trailer. But this time, the three children kept clamoring to watch Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, so the couple took the children to watch the midnight show.

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

Looking at the huge crowds in the cinema, all three children expressed amazement.

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

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

Zoe said, "I saw a giant octopus in the trailer. Are you scared?"

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

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

His younger brother Wilson also said: "I'm not afraid either. I still want to eat the giant octopus."

His sister Lisa hugged Doug's thigh and said, "Dad will protect me, so I'm not afraid."

A bearded uncle nearby laughed and said, "These little guys are very brave!"

“Hahaha, yes.” Doug replied, “Are you here for the midnight show too?”

"Of course," the bearded uncle showed his badge and said, "I am a senior member of the Los Angeles area Gilbert Jr. Fans Association.

I have already watched "The Last of Us" and "Iron Man" this year.

After attending the premiere red carpet ceremony today, I came to the cinema. "

Zoe said enviously: "That's great, we have children to take care of, so we couldn't go to the scene."

"It's okay," the bearded uncle said, "The kids can go when they grow up. By then, little Gilbert will still be making movies."

"makes sense."

In fact, the general movie fans do not support the films produced by Gilbert Jr., such as the "Mystery of the Spell" series, the "Fast and Furious" series, and the "Harry Potter" series.

The reason these movie series are so popular is that they all have their own appeal to fans, which is why they can be filmed one after another.

A more special one is "The Matrix" series, which shocked a large number of people when it first came out.

So even though Gilbert Jr. no longer directs the film himself, fans will still support it because of the reputation of the first film. And the quality of the next two films did not disappoint, at least they were of a good standard.

As the films produced by Gilbert Jr. sold out one after another, not only movie fans but even ordinary audiences had a kind of trust in the name of Gilbert Jr.

This trust is not inexplicable. It is the result of Gilbert's more than ten years of career in creating countless box office myths. This is the box office appeal.

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

"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl" is directed by Gilbert Jr., 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 and is different from the first one.

So Warner and Disney have high expectations for this movie, with internal forecasts of $2.8 million at the North American box office and over $8 million worldwide.
