Chatty Hollywood - Chapter 847
Unlike on the other side of the Pacific, where the commercial film market is still in its early stages of development, in cinemas in North America, the surging tsunami triggered by “Pirates of the Caribbean 3” has raged everywhere.
Since 2000, some theaters in North America have tried to show some 3D movies, which has gradually increased the number of 3D theaters in North America. And several blockbusters shot by Charlotte in recent years have played a role in fueling the flames.
Especially with the combination of magic effects and modern technology, “Inception”, which has achieved part of the Yiguoyan 3D effect, has allowed all theater companies to see the potential of this kind of movie.
For this reason, even the number of IMAX large screens has increased in North America over the past year.
And “Pirates of the Caribbean 3” thanks to this blessing-
Because of the influence of “Inception”, many movie-goers who watched the trailer of “Pirates of the Caribbean 3” directly booked tickets to nearby movie theaters with IMAX large screens.
——This brings the online booking amount of “Pirates of the Caribbean 3” to an exaggerated 50 million U.S. dollars.
And this movie did not let them down–
“The battle at the end of the movie alone is worth the price!”
At the entrance of an IMAX movie theater near Burbank, Howard said excitedly to Rajesh as he walked.
“Especially when the “Flying Dutchman” broke through the water and fought against the Lord Beckett’s seat with the “Black Pearl”, it was so handsome!”
“Yes!”
Rajesh also nodded.
“However, this should be the last part of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogy, right? After watching it, there is always a sad feeling!”
“What you said…”
Howard sniffed.
“It seems a bit…”
“right?”
Rajesh continued,
“Especially at the end of the movie, when Captain Jack drove a small boat into the distance, there was a feeling of a pirate story saying goodbye to us.”
“It feels like an unforgettable time in life has passed.”
Howard also understood what his Indian friend meant,
“I don’t know if those people had this feeling of reluctance when they saw the end of the “Star Wars” series?”
“There will definitely be. That’s not what the poem says–“
Rajesh’s rare face faded from the humble expression and became a little literary.
“I believe everything can be heard,
Even foreseeing separation, meeting another self,
And some moments can’t be grasped,
No matter how you go around, what’s gone will inevitably never return…”
“Tagore!?”
“Yes.”
Rajesh nodded.
“His “Life as a Summer Flower”, have you read this poem?”
“That’s not true.”
Howard shook his head.
“It’s just that there is only one Tagore I know of Indian poets.”
“…”
After being choked shamelessly by a friend, Rajesh sighed.
“Anyway, this “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogy series has been with us for more than four years. At the end of this moment, it is normal for us to be a little sad.”
“you’re right!”
Howard nodded.
“Although it is not comparable to those series that span ten or eight years, in recent years, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series is indeed our favorite fantasy movie!”
“Yes, even the fellow Sheldon bought himself a pirate hat…”
“So, after watching this movie, what we bid farewell is actually a period of our own life, isn’t it?”
There was also a little sadness in Howard’s words, but Rajesh showed a weird smile at this moment.
“You are right! But don’t you think it is okay to say goodbye to this kind of thing several times?”
“Yes!”
Howard folded his hands together and slapped his chin.
“Let’s say goodbye to Captain Jack, Will Turner and Miss Elizabeth again!”
“good idea!”
Rajesh nodded.
“By the way, do you want to call Leonard and Sheldon?”
“them!?”
Howard thought for a while,
“Howard took Penny to watch the movie with us. As a result, I didn’t know where in the movie triggered Penny’s tears. As soon as the movie ended, he took Penny to a nearby hotel to comfort her.”
“…Will you be comforted all night?”
“Well, it will comfort you all night.”
Howard raised his eyebrows, but his tone became a little weak.
“Of course, it depends on Leonard’s physical fitness.”
“——That would definitely not be comforting all night!”
After saying this, Rajesh, who was also somewhat weak, became more energetic.
“What about Sheldon?”
“…Let’s hurry up and buy tickets! Seeing the lively atmosphere at the scene, maybe it’s a little later, we won’t be able to buy tickets!”
“you’re right!”
As a result, the two hurried to the ticket office of the cinema, seeming to have forgotten something, some seem to have not forgotten…
******
Of course, realize that this movie is a farewell to the “pirates”, not just Howard and the others.
In fact, many people who have experienced “Pirates of the Caribbean” 1 and 2 and fell in love with these weird pirates have participated in the premiere of “Pirates of the Caribbean 3” driven by their feelings.
And this sentiment is reflected in the box office of the movie. Whatever the two-day break of billions, the North American box office champion, etc., can’t be more commonplace.
Even more, because the premiere of “Pirates of the Caribbean 3” was performed simultaneously on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, or even globally, this caused the visual “tsunami” brought by “Pirates of the Caribbean” to sweep the world all at once.
Take the other side of the Pacific Ocean as an example. “Pirates of the Caribbean 3” suddenly broke many domestic box office records previously held by “Titanic”, and quickly became a hot movie ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and it was “on a sack.” Pirates also wreak havoc on island countries and peninsulas.
Especially in island countries, this has always been a rather different box office ranking, relying on various animated theater versions and animated live-action movies to dominate the world, “Pirates of the Caribbean 3” also achieved a crushing effect.
As for traditions such as Europe, there is a pirate tradition, not to mention that there is no cultural barrier to accept “Pirates of the Caribbean 3″…
And all of this finally converged in Disney’s Los Angeles headquarters——
“See what it means, “Pirates of the Caribbean 3” may be able to become a film that can hit the global box office record of “Titanic” after “Inception”!”
Robert Iger, who has secured the top spot in Disney, excitedly raised the box office analysis report in his hand and said to Philip Bierman,
“This situation shows that this series has great potential to continue to tap, I think the fourth part of the plan can already start!”
“However, Director Charlotte has no plans to continue directing this series.”
As Iger’s loyal subordinate, Philip Bierman directly pointed out the biggest problem at present,
“Although we have reached an agreement with the Ghost Party Studios on the copyright plan behind the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series, and also accepted the fact that Charlotte is no longer directing-but for now, this series can be successful. In other words, the most important factor for success to this level may be Charlotte. Without him…”
“Yes!”
Thinking of this most troublesome thing, Robert Iger couldn’t help but get a headache…
