Chapter 296 Talking about life with Charlize. . .
The Port of San Pedro in Los Angeles, located on the southwest coast of California, is one of the most famous ports in the United States. It handles 70% of the total cargo volume on the West Coast of the United States!
Most of the scenes in "Pirates of the Caribbean" will be shot here.
After dealing with some matters in Los Angeles, just as the outside media was hyping up Julia Roberts' car scandal, Xia Shang and a group of crew members had quietly arrived at the hotel in San Francisco. Filming location in Puerto Pedro.
At this moment, in this shooting base, there are a large number of staff, actors and crew members of the film shooting.
With the arrival of Xia Shang, the film director, at this moment, the preparations for the film have also reached the final stage.
As another year of development for Baofeng Film Company, after entering 1998, under the circumstances of the world economic downturn, Baofeng Film Company has not stopped its rapid progress.
The two films "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" were initially decided to be filmed. As early as last year, it was confirmed that the "Star Wars Prequel Trilogy" would be co-produced with Industrial Light and Magic. Roberts is in a romantic comedy "Runaway Bride", Angelina Jolie is about to start the second episode of "Tomb Raider", "The Matrix" has been ordered for a long time, in addition, there is another film that is not yet available American Beauty below.
If nothing else happens, after the filming of these films is completed this year, they will become the flagship films of Baofeng Pictures next year.
In addition to these, Baofeng Pictures will also launch a new round of development for some small-scale films and outsourced films.
With such a move, even large companies like Disney Pictures, Paramount Pictures, etc. may not have it.
All of this shows that Baofeng Film Company is entering a highly developed stage.
No one can stop him from moving forward.
At this moment, many people and many news media may not have noticed this series of actions by Baofeng Pictures, but I believe that they will soon attract countless exclamations!
"Perhaps, one day, I will stand on the top of the world and shout the king of the world This day will not be too far away!" Looking at the San Pedro Harbor from a distance, the people who are constantly coming in and out Giant ship, at this moment, Xia Shang's mood was like a whistle, unable to calm down for a long time!
"What are you thinking about?" A magnetic voice came from behind, and a tall and graceful figure stood side by side with him.
The tight dark clothes on her body outline her charming and hot figure, which is concave and convex, exquisite and charming. Her beautiful face is facing the sea breeze blowing from afar, and her silver hair is flying in the wind, slightly messy, for her Added a bit of laziness.
It looks really charming.
"Charlie, what is your dream in life!" Xia Shang turned his head slightly and glanced at her, without concealing the appreciation and enthusiasm in his eyes.
"We have talked about this issue several times, why don't you change the topic?" Charlize Theron's beautifully manicured hands gently stroked her messy hair, with a hint of coquettishness on her face. .
Xia Shang could not help but be stunned when he looked at the charming look on her face. However, after all, the two of them had been getting along for a long time, and their resistance to her charm had increased invisibly, and they soon returned to normal.
"Are you familiar with the plot of "Pirates of the Caribbean"? Then let's talk about the character of Elizabeth In your opinion, what is her character like?"
¡°Beautiful yet wild and difficult to train!¡± Charlize Theron replied almost without thinking.
Hearing this, Xia Shang nodded involuntarily. Although Charlize Theron's words were simple, they fully revealed the character of the heroine of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Recalling every plot about her in the film, it was indeed You can see her personality.
However, when talking about the heroine Elizabeth Swann, Xia Shang couldn't help but think of Keira Knightley, the British rose. In his memory, Keira Knightley was definitely the most popular one. The role of Elizabeth is vividly interpreted.
Elizabeth Swann and Keira Knightley are like one person. . . It's just a pity that Keira Knightley is too young, otherwise, he would definitely choose her to play the role of Elizabeth Swann.
But, then againComing back, when it comes to appearance and acting skills, Charlize Theron doesn't seem to lose anything to the other party, at least in Xia Shang's own eyes, that's the view.
"I hope she can give me a surprise!" Xia Shang's eyes touched Charlize Theron's beautiful face, and he couldn't help but retract his thoughts.
¡°The character Elizabeth is very similar to you, equally beautiful and charming, equally wild and hard to train¡± Xia Shang said with a smile to Charlize Theron.
"In your eyesI am a wild and untamable woman?"
"She is also an unreasonable woman." Xia Shang looked at her and couldn't help laughing, and then added: "Actually, every woman is like this!"
"The same is true for Angelina Jolie and Monica Bellucci? The same is true for Sophie Marceau? The same is true for Julia Roberts?" Charlize Theron's face darkened, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly. , kept asking.
"Oops!" Xia Shang's face turned dark when he heard the other party's words, but he still nodded: "Sometimes!"
"Then what kind of character do you think Will Turner is?"
Will Turner is one of the male protagonists of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and Elizabeth's childhood sweetheart in the film. When the filming of the film begins, Xia Shang himself will play this role.
"Infatuation and bravery!" Xia Shang smiled, and then added the same sentence: "Every man is like this when facing the woman he loves."
"Are you praising yourself?" After listening to Xia Shang's words, Charlize Theron couldn't help but look sarcastic.
"In fact, let me tell you another fact. If Will Turner was not an infatuated man, how could he get the love of the beautiful and touching Elizabeth? If it weren't for his bravery, how could he get out of a group of crazy people? He rescued Elizabeth from the hands of pirates and returned home with the beauty in his arms!" Xia Shang shrugged and defended.
"What you said is the plot of the film, and Will himself is also an out-and-out pirate."
"Will is a pirate, and Elizabeth is a pirate girl. In short, everyone is a pirate In fact, this is a movie about pirates."
""
Not far away from the busy San Pedro Harbor, Xia Shang and Charlize Theron were chatting happily. Their joyful laughter spread throughout the harbor, making it seem warm.
As the male and female protagonists on the shores of San Pedro Port, Xia Shang and Charlize Theron did not realize that the relationship between them had gone far beyond the level of ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend.
???????????????? But the two of them had a good understanding and didn¡¯t pierce the last layer of window paper. In their busy lives, they enjoyed this kind of relaxed environment.
Returning to the crew, after last-minute preparations, on the first day of March 1998, the first film in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, "The Curse of the Black Pearl", was finally released in this beautiful and busy Saint Petersburg. On the shore of Port Pedro, the clarion call to start shooting was sounded.
The opening ceremony of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was not widely publicized and was held in a relatively conservative manner. But even so, the opening of the film still attracted the attention of many news media.
After all, this is because Xia Shang is no longer the young boy he once was. He is a young Hollywood director, a talented Hollywood director, the best director in Hollywood, and reporters from many news media may not know what they think of Xia Shang. I am surprised every moment.
At the 69th Academy Awards, Xia Shang defeated Anthony Minghella and Joel - the directors of "The English Patient", "Fargo", "Sex Book" and "Secrets and Lies" Cohen, Milos Forman and Mike Ray unexpectedly won the Oscar for Best Director.
But this has ushered in more controversy. "The Sixth Sense" was a box office hit. The film is good and gives people a shocking feeling. But in the final analysis, the film is still too commercial. With this This film won an award, which makes people feel unhappy.
But this year, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director for "Titanic" and was nominated for the Best Director Award at the 70th Academy Awards. All reporters, film critics, Hollywood producers, etc. will think this is reasonable. things that should be done.
What's more, in the film "Pirates of the Caribbean", there is also Johnny Depp, a popular Hollywood actor, and Geoffrey Rush, last year's Oscar winner. It seems that the film is a bit unobtrusive. no.
The only surprising thing is that the talented Hollywood director Xia Shang will personally play the leading role in the film. This news has made countless Xia Shang?¡¯s movie fans are full of expectations to see him in the film!
I still remember, when was the last time I saw him in a movie? A year ago, or two years ago, on "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." . .
Not to mention the intense attention from the outside world and the expectations of movie fans, at this moment, the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has also begun busy filming work after a simple opening ceremony.
In "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", the plot of the film begins with a shipwreck. The story takes place in the legendary Caribbean. The governor of Port Royal and his daughter Elizabeth saved their lives from being attacked by pirates. Will Turner was buried at sea and later gave him up to a swordsmith who was often drunk for adoption.
At the same time, young Elizabeth got an ancient Spanish coin from Will Turner, and this ancient coin was also the cause of cholera!
Then a few years later, Elizabeth and Will Turner both grew up. Elizabeth, who was sleeping, was awakened by the scene where she met Will a few years ago. She couldn't help but think of the things she had hidden deep in the drawer. That ancient Spanish coin, so she put it around her neck.
The sudden entry of the Governor shocked Elizabeth, so she had no time to take off the ancient coin from her neck. Then, under the service of the waiter, she began to change into noble clothes and attend the promotion ceremony of Brigadier General Ni. But it is a pity that Elizabeth, who is wild and difficult to train, is obviously very uncomfortable with such clothes, and she even feels breathless!
After the infatuated Will Turner met his love, Elizabeth, their identities were so strange that he did not have the courage to confess his love, so he could only look at each other from a distance and drive away in a carriage!
And just as Port Royal held another promotion ceremony for Brigadier General Ni, Port Royal also welcomed a special guest, that is the famous pirate captain Jack!
The bohemian Jack Sparrow, who is both good and evil, is a young pirate active in the Caribbean. He owns the feared "Black Pearl" pirate ship. For him, the most comfortable life is to drive the "Black Pearl" Wander around the Caribbean and rob passing ships freely.
But unfortunately, these leisurely and carefree days are over after all - he was betrayed by his first mate Barbossa. Not only was his cherished pirate ship "Black Pearl" stolen by Barbossa, but he was also stolen by Barbossa. Abandoned on a deserted island, after much trouble, he arrived at Port Royal!
His iconic pirate three-legged hat, pistol with only one bullet, and compass that never rotates make him the most special pirate.
Arranging the plot of the film and shooting each shot seems to be a very simple matter, but when it comes to actual shooting, it is not that simple.
For this movie, he has watched it many times in his previous life. It can be said that he knows every scene in it. At this moment, beside him, there are Terry Rossio and Te De Elliott are the two creators of the film, but even so, it still seemed a bit difficult when filming first started!
Both actors and directors need a certain period of adaptation when they start filming a film. Obviously, Xia Shang, as well as some actors such as Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron, are still at this stage.
"Cut!" After nearly a whole day of filming, according to the plot, the famous Captain Jack Sparrow finally appeared, but unfortunately, Johnny Depp was still out of shape at this moment.
"It seems that Mr. Johnny is still wandering around." After seeing that his performance was not as bohemian, righteous and evil as he remembered, Xia Shang couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"I thought I could do well, but in fact, unfortunately, maybe I haven't found the feeling yet." Johnny Depp also had some annoyance on his face.
"Actually, I don't think this is your problem alone. Charlie, Jeffrey, me, and even most of the people present didn't perform very well." Xia Shang patted Johnny on the shoulder and said with a smile. .
"However, it doesn't matter. This year has just begun anyway, and the Oscars haven't come yet. We still have a lot of time!"
Xia Shang changed the topic and said to everyone that although he would have a strict attitude during his work, he was not incapable of adapting. At this moment, after all, "Pirates of the Caribbean" had just started filming, and he didn't want to expose everyone to it. Too much pressure.
"I think it's so cute that you can say these words today." Thinking of the other party's sternness and seriousness when we were filming "Shakespeare in Love", now Charlize Theron heard him After her speech, that beautiful face??, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Everyone needs time to adapt, right?" Xia Shang shrugged at her.
"It seems that you will be as strict as before in the future?" Charlize Theron's eyes kept flashing.
"I think at least you need to be fully mentally prepared. I will not relax my requirements on you just because of the relationship between the two of us."
"I like your severity!"
Xia Shang took a deep look at Charlize Theron, who had a strange look in his eyes. He couldn't help but wonder what her words meant, but he soon shook his head and turned to everyone.
"Everyone can take a rest first. Of course, we can also discuss how to shoot the next plot."
His words immediately caused ripples in the crew. They sat together in twos and threes and started talking. Of course, more people were still chatting somewhere.
"I think Captain Jack Sparrow's appearance is very special and exciting. What about you? Johnny" Seeing Johnny Depp's pensive look from time to time, Xia Shang walked towards him.
"Yes, I have watched every plot about Jack many times. I feel that I can play him well. Maybe you won't believe it, Mr. Director, there are many times when I dream that I become I became a pirate galloping on the sea, and I think I started to like the character of Captain Jack Sparrow." Johnny Depp seemed slightly excited and spoke incoherently.
"I think I have every reason to believe that you will give us a unique Jack. How about trying it again?" Xia Shang shrugged and suggested with a smile.
"Of course, I'm ready again." Johnny Depp smiled and nodded. At the same time, with the help of makeup artists, costume designers and others, he sorted out his special set of decorations.
At the same time, with Xia Shang's order, the entire crew became busy again. On some ancient-looking ships on the seaside, some extras were already in place.
Photographer Darius Woski, who has shot many films, also adjusted the camera lens and pointed it at the distant sea, piers, and steep cliffs. While taking pictures, he also began to follow the instructions of the film. The plot of the script goes down!
In the distance, Jack was thrown to a desert island by the villain Captain Barbossa, starring Geoffrey Rush. After a lot of hard work, he finally arrived at Port Royal. On the gallows on the seaside, there were the corpses of pirates and The font of 'Nothing Happens to Pirates' is intimidating.
And these did not make him feel scared, but the legendary Captain Jack, the slowly sinking but still moving forward ship he drove attracted the attention of many people at the port. . .
