"Long time no see." Ronan hugged Jessica Felton gently, then took a step back, looked at her carefully, and said, "Jesse, your skin looks healthier."

Jessica Felton had no choice but to say I'm going to be black."

Ronan simply said, "It's really dark."

Jessica Felton is a typical Latin mixed race. His skin color was close to wheat color, but now he has more sunlight and has a tendency to change like chocolate color.

Although it has turned dark, Jessica Felton is still the most beautiful crew of the Pirates of the Caribbean.

How many women can have a body proportion and appearance similar to Jessica Alba, and a spectacular mountain like Salma Hayek?

The crew started filming again at this time, and Jessica Felton greeted Ronan: "Let's talk in a different place."

Ronan followed her to the nearby studio office, turned on the air conditioner, and the heat in the air was finally blocked outside the door.

Jessica Felton poured Ronan a glass of water and asked, "What did you say to Depp?"

Ronan took the water cup and said, "Tell him to be a good captain."

"That's it?" Jessica Felton didn't believe it.

"That's it." Ronan shrugged: "You have told him everything you should say, there is no need for me to say more."

He raised his thumbs up at Jessica Felton: "Jesse, you're doing a great job."

Jessica Felton shook her head: "I can't afford it. Ronan, to be honest, I have no good idea to deal with Johnny Depp except for what I'm doing now."

Luo Nan picked up the water cup and said before drinking it: "Same, if it were me, there would be no other good way."

Could it be that it is really a complete tear-up with Johnny Depp? Then change to an actor or something? It doesn't matter other series, but Captain Jack Sparrow, except Johnny Depp, fans probably won't recognize other actors.

Unless you use a stand-in plus a special effect, the production cost will increase a lot and can only be regarded as the last choice.

Jessica Felton sighed and said, "It's not easy for producers, it's even harder for producers of sequels. It's really hard for everyone to have their own ways."

Ronan laughed: "The Pirates of the Caribbean series has its own special features, and the strategy you use is very good. For people like Johnny Depp, you have to fight and coax."

Jessica Felton said: "Will you still have to shoot a sequel after the trilogy is finished?"

"Not for a short time." Ronan thought carefully and said, "Before 2010, I will not shoot this series again. It needs to be sealed for a while to avoid aesthetic fatigue."

Jessica Felton nodded slightly: "This way my job will be done better."

Ronan simply said: "If you continue filming, Johnny Depp will really become the biggest problem for the crew. You know the influence of "The Curse of the Black Pearl", Captain Jack Sparrow became popular all over the world. After these two sequels are released, as long as there is no big accident, Johnny Depp will directly equate with Captain Jack Sparrow."

Jessica Felton understood what Ronan meant: "The Curse of the Black Pearl brought Johnny Depp into the ranks of Hollywood's first-tier stars. These two films were successful. For the Pirates of the Caribbean series, he would be a superstar... This bad personality and professional qualities are a headache to think about."

Ronan smiled: "So, let's wait a few more years, and who knows what Johnny Depp will develop in the future."

Captain Jack Sparrow once made Johnny Depp, but also restricted Johnny Depp.

After chatting about Johnny Depp, Jessica Felton turned to her current work and said: "It is estimated that the crew will leave Baja California as early as mid-next month and go to the Caribbean to shoot outdoor scenes."

Ronan asked, "How are you preparing?"

Jessica Felton took out a thick plan and said, "This is a plan based on the situation provided by the staff at the Tamashita Station."

Ronan waved his hand directly: "Just say it simply."

Jessica Felton organized the language slightly and said: "I had a meeting with Gore and two other associate producers to study it. The shooting plan should be considered as logistics. This time, to board more islands, more ships are needed. It looks like shooting a road movie, but the road is replaced by water."

Ronan nodded slightly, Jessica Felton continued: "The first stop in the Caribbean is Dominican. The local political situation is relatively stable, and the outdoor scene is suitable for shooting requirements, but the hardware facilities are slightly worse. The crew has nearly a thousand cast and crew members, which may have to be distributed in hundreds of hotels to stay. I have done statistics and only transporting the entire class every day requires 150 drivers. In addition, if you want to control the financial expenditure of the crew, you will also need 40 logistics support and procurement personnel in each group that is scattered at the same time in shooting locations."

Not to mention anything else, you must coordinate your meals and drinking water alone. People without certain organizational capabilities cannot do this job at all.

Jessica Felton rubbed her forehead and said, "The crew also selected Ikzumas and Grand Bahamas for filming. There are few hotels and restaurants in some areas, and the infrastructure is very short of. Outing locations are no longer as in studios, and all aspects need to be considered. If the film is to be filmed smoothly, the huge crew team needs more cumbersome and comprehensive logistics support."

This position is really very training-oriented. Although the preparations are taken care of by their own professional teams, they still have to be summarized in Jessica Felton, with the production team she led to coordinate and make decisions.

Last week, the logistics team submitted a report about the crew's diet in the Dominican diet.

During the shooting, they have to prepare three meals a day for 500 to 800 people based on their work on the day. It is estimated that breakfast alone will require 1,000 to 1,500 eggs, 100 to 160 pounds of bacon, 80 bread, 50 pounds of sausage, more than 10 boxes of fruit, etc.

Except for locally produced in Dominican countries, all foods need to be shipped from the United States to the local area.

It is hard to imagine how much work and money such a huge crew would have without sitting in this position.

Why did Jessica Felton take Jessica Felton so seriously? Not to mention the preparations and expenses made in filming, just the catering expenses spent on a day in the crew is a rather terrifying expense.

In the past, when Jessica Felton was just a simple editor, it felt incredible to see the production costs of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars announced by some film companies. It was influenced by some Internet views and believed that there might be a huge amount of moisture in it, or even the possibility of money laundering.

But since he served as a post-production producer, this view quickly reversed. The expenses of a slightly larger crew are like flowing. Perhaps the actual expenditure of some films is different from the public figures, but there will be no significant difference. For example, a medium-sized crew, it is normal for hundreds of people to be over.

Not to mention anything else, the expenditure on food, clothing, housing and transportation is quite huge.

If it is placed on the shooting, if it is not controlled, it will be like a bottomless pit.

Jessica Felton carefully studied the actual expenditure of "The Curse of the Black Pearl", and the property involved was quite amazing.

The crew used more than 6,000 single-way tickets; nearly 300 mobile phones were used in Rosario; at most 200 walkie-talkies were used to coordinate shooting; 550 boxes of clothing were used for shooting; 360 barrels of smoke-generating materials; the sound effects department used more than 6,000 batteries of various colors; more than 300,000 feet of rope; the total length of the film used for shooting even reached 218 miles.

This shows where the budget of more than 100 million US dollars was spent.

Ronan has heard Jessica Felton's simple description and said, "Jesse, your character changes very quickly."

Jessica Felton believed in his work: "It's a bit difficult, but it's not difficult for me."

Ronan no longer asked anything else and said directly: "I feel relieved to leave this crew to you. I hope one day I will see a female producer who is more successful than Catherine Kennedy."

"I won't let you down." Jessica Felton took a sip of water and asked, "How long are you going to stay in Baja California this time?"

Ronan said, "I'll leave tomorrow."

Jessica Felton frowned slightly: "Are you so anxious?"

Ronan said with a smile: "There is still a lot of work in Los Angeles. My Pacific Film Foundation is going to deliver to several investors, and new investors are joining. "Lost Tokyo" directed by Sofia Coppola is hitting the Oscars, and I also need to stand up for this film in time. The most important thing is that Relativity Entertainment is about to start a large-scale acquisition involving hundreds of millions of dollars of funds, and some occasions require me to be present in person."

Hearing the last sentence, Jessica Felton became interested: "Acquiring hundreds of millions of dollars?"

Ronan nodded slightly.

Jessica Felton asked, “Is it easier to reveal it?”

Ronan has enough trust in her and said that he had reminded her before: "The plan has not been made public yet, so don't spread it. Robert Eiger has made a plan to acquire Yijiang Film."

"Yijiang Film?" Jessica Felton was puzzled: "This company has developed in recent years..."

Ronan reminded: "Film Library. Yijiang Film has a film library that Relativity Entertainment does not have. According to the data obtained by Robert Eiger's latest survey, it has the copyright of nearly 7,000 films, including famous films such as "The First Blood", "Terminator", "Comprehensive Memories" and "Instinct".

Jessica Felton knew about these films, picked up the cup and raised it to Ronan: "I wish you success in relativity entertainment."

Luo Nan held up the water cup and responded: "Thank you."
