Gusta, who thought he was by no means ignorant, felt his heart suddenly sink. He really didn't understand why Yi Feiyang changed "Pirates of Somalia" to "Pirates of the Caribbean"? It seems that Somali pirates are more powerful now.
There is also a little more news, and the pirates in the Caribbean are a bit "outdated".
However, Gusta still has great confidence in Yi Feiyang, otherwise he would not have approached him to partner with him.
"How about it? Do you accept my proposal?" Yi Feiyang asked Gusta with a smile. "If you accept it, I have a very good story about these pirates. Yes, it is very interesting and can be made into a movie.
Absolutely amazing!”
Gusta was startled, about the story of Pirates of the Caribbean? How come he hadn't heard of it? God, if such an unpopular story was made into a movie, wouldn't it be the kind of thing that would have a very bad box office reputation?!
Yi Feiyang's proposal made Gusta, who was so ambitious and ready to show off his talents and even called out to the outside world that he was a movie tycoon, hesitant and said to himself, "Dear Yi, please don't give me a bad movie."
!You know, there are a lot of pinkeye guys out there waiting to laugh at my jokes!
"Yi, I believe in your choice. You must have your reasons for saying this, but I still want to hear your magical Caribbean story first." Gusta said very cautiously.
Yi Feiyang leaned back on the boss's chair, lying on it in an extremely comfortable posture, and said: "Okay, now it's bedtime story time..."
"This story takes place in the 17th century, in the Caribbean, where pirates are said to be most active. The funny and charming Jack Sparrow is a pirate active in the Caribbean and owns his own pirate ship, the 'Black Pearl'. For him,
The most comfortable life is to sail the "Black Pearl" around the Caribbean and rob passing ships freely.
But unfortunately, his enemy, the scheming Captain Barbarossa, stole his 'Black Pearl'. Barbossa was a villain who did all kinds of evil. After he robbed Jack's 'Black Pearl', he became even more rampant.
.Rogued in the Caribbean and became the overlord of the entire Caribbean."
At first, Gusta listened indifferently. He had never heard of any pirate stories, so he probably thought this story was similar to those.
"Once, Barbossa's gang attacked the small town of Port Royal and kidnapped the governor's daughter, Elizabeth Swann, and Elizabeth's childhood sweetheart, blacksmith apprentice Will Turner, and tried every means to rescue them.
He stole Captain Jack from prison, stole the fastest warship "Interceptor" of the British Royal Fleet, and quickly pursued the "Black Pearl".
During the fight, Will and Jack discovered that Barbarossa and his pirates were carrying a spell. Every moonlight night, they turned into undead skeletons, and Elizabeth was the one who unlocked the spell.
key……"
Gusta's originally casual eyes became curious. He began to listen attentively to Yi Feiyang's story about this strange Pirates of the Caribbean. He was full of interest in the "Birdman" pirate captain Jack in the story, and even more in "Moonlight".
The design of "Night Transforms into an Undead Skeleton" feels extremely weird.
You know, traditional pirate stories are nothing more than treasure hunts on desert islands, but the story of Pirates of the Caribbean told by Yi Feiyang breaks away from this model and moves towards a weirder and more fantastic realm.
So much so that after Yi Feiyang finished telling the entire Pirates of the Caribbean story, Gusta hadn't woken up yet and was still immersed in the story and couldn't extricate himself.
God, what a story is this?!
Captain Jack's wisdom, bravery, and humor, Captain Barbossa's domineering, weirdness, and the infatuation of the blacksmith boy. The beauty of the governor's daughter... This is simply an adventure novel in the Verne style!
Seeing Gusta keeping silent while touching the mustache, Yi Feiyang was not in a hurry, picked up the tea and took a slow sip. In his opinion, he was willing to contribute this "Pirates of the Caribbean" and make a fortune together.
He is kind enough. If Gusta is unwilling to invest in filming, Yi Feiyang will live alone. Anyway, he has more than 40 million in hand now, so it is no problem to make a blockbuster.
What's more, Yi Feiyang clearly knows that "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" will gross 600 million U.S. dollars worldwide in the future. Not only is it a hit at the box office, but critics are also generally optimistic about the film, creating a number of comparable films.
Star Wars fans and Superman fans have a huge, fanatical and loyal group of pirate fans. With their expectations and support, the two sequels of this series, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Treasure" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" are
It has set new records one after another at the box office, with global box office reaching 1 billion and 957 million US dollars respectively.
Yi Feiyang is definitely not the kind of philanthropist who dislikes having too much money, so deep down in his heart, he even hopes that Gusta can refuse his proposal. Then, he can openly film this movie alone and make a lot of money.
Special fishing, eat to a full stomach.
It's a pity that Yi Feiyang's good wishes came to nothing, due to his vivid and penetrating storytelling tongue. Gusta slapped his thigh and said, "That's it, dear Yi, let's make this movie!"
"Ah?" Someone who was drinking tea leisurely almost spit out the tea in one mouthful, "Ahem, why don't you think about it carefully?"
"I won't consider it anymore, I believe you!"
"No, you are a very cautious person. I hope you can think again and not make a decision too quickly."
"No, since James Wan was beaten away by you last time, I have vowed not to hesitate or hesitate anymore. As long as I feel good, I will make a decision immediately!"
Yi Feiyang: "...?!!"
"But I also want to make it clear that I only write the script and will not be the director of this play?"
"What? You're not a director? Did I hear you right?" Gusta looked at Yi Feiyang in surprise, "Don't you mean you want to compete with the Wachowski brothers through this drama?"
"Of course not!" Yi Feiyang smiled, nonsense, he knew very well that although "Pirates of the Caribbean" is very good, with a global box office of 600 million, "The Matrix 2" is even better, with a global box office of 7.8
Yiyi, if you really rely on this drama to compete with others at the box office, you will only lose.
"Then I don't understand. What scene do you want to shoot?"
"This...if I said I haven't thought about it yet, would you believe it?"
"Yi, we are old friends, do you want to hide it even from me?" Gusta looked a little unhappy.
Yi Feiyang smiled bitterly, "Really, I really don't have any plans now."
"Okay, look at your bitter face... Even if I misunderstood you, then tell me, if you don't direct this play, who will do it?"
"I have already chosen the director, it just depends on how you feel..."
"Oh, who is it? Come and listen?"
"It's...Gore Verbinski!"
Phew! This time Gusta almost spit out the tea.
Why Gusta had such a big reaction when he heard this name? Mainly because this "Gore Verbinski" is too famous. Not because he is talented, on the contrary, because he is too bad!
By the way, Gore Verbinski graduated from the Film School of the University of Southern California. He has been a restless person since he was in school. He first worked for the poetry club, which announced its closure after publishing its first collection of poems; then he worked for the baseball team.
, the baseball team went from second place in the state to last place directly after the game; in the end, the band was announced to be disbanded within two days of its formation.
But our poor brother "Gore" was not discouraged. He directly sold the instruments of the disbanded band, exchanged them for a super 8mm camera, and began to tinker with short film shooting.
This time he was lucky. It didn't take long for him to start trying to shoot commercials and music videos. He got better and better, and even collaborated with big brands including Nike, Coca-Cola, Budweiser, etc.
Gore, who was so lucky, actually won four Clio Awards, the "Oscars of the advertising industry", and the Cannes Silver Lion for Advertising.
During that time, our Mr. Gore was really high-spirited and felt that he was a fucking genius and the illegitimate son of God. He was so lucky and so dazzling that he was almost blinded by the light... So he made a bold decision to start
Make a movie.
Lady luck became his aunt, making his 1997 debut film "Ratcatcher" a blockbuster; this black comedy instantly made him the most talented commercial director in Hollywood, and many film companies offered him an olive branch.
Our Director Al Gore is awesome. At his level, if we want to collaborate on a movie, we have to work with the kings and queens. So after picking and choosing, he collaborated with two top stars, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts.
"Dangerous Lovers".
He originally thought that this drama would become a big hit and that he would make another step towards his reputation as a genius director and become a super director, but... the unlucky goddess who had not been there for a long time came on horseback and pressed him directly onto the bed...
...The film only earned 6,800 at the box office with a cost of 38 million US dollars!
This data makes investors cry without tears!
Because excluding the box office share and cruel taxes, this movie lost at least tens of millions!
But that's not the worst part. The worst part is that since he lost money at the box office, Director Gore will always pay for whatever he shoots. This has made him so unlucky that no one dares to mess with him anymore, let alone film with him.
Now, Yi Feiyang actually recommends such an "unlucky guy" to be the director of "Pirates of the Caribbean". How can Gusta not be surprised?
Seeing Gusta looking at him with an unbelievable look, Yi Feiyang had no choice but to explain: "Dear Gusta, you don't have to look at me like that. I know that I chose Gore Verbinski to do this.
The director of this drama did take a big risk, but I have my reasons!"
Reason? What reason?!
Could it be that this bad guy Gore can wear underwear and transform into Superman?! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
