Chatty Hollywood

"First of all, while I'm convincing the board of directors, you have to test the attitude of other people on the crew about filming a sequel immediately."

Robert Egger told Philip Biermann,

"This way once I successfully convince the board of directors, the negotiations can start or even be completed quickly - so that our continuous shooting plan will have practical significance."

"……All right!"

Philip Biermann eventually took over the task of exploring the path.

——This is why he has a headache now.

Because of this exploratory work, the first person to ask was naturally the director Charlotte.

As a result, Charlotte’s answer was very interesting——

"If all the negotiations can be completed before the post-production of the first film begins, or even before the filming is completed, the second and third films can be shot directly. I am willing to direct, otherwise..."

——Otherwise, Charlotte didn’t say anything, but Philip Biermann naturally knew it.

This means that Disney must not only resolve internal disputes as soon as possible and confirm the plan for continuous shooting of the trilogy, but also quickly complete negotiations with other actors.

——If one of the two is not completed, the continuous shooting plan of "Pirates of the Caribbean" may be in vain.

"I hope Mr. Egg can succeed!"

Now, Philip Biermann can only wish his immediate boss this way.

As for himself, he has to work on another job requested by Charlotte——

Huge water tank in Rosarito, Mexico.

This tank was excavated by James Cameron when he was filming "Titanic". It was very suitable for filming some seascape scenes where the hull of the ship could be seen.

——Charlotte visited the place specifically when she was visiting the crew of "Titanic".

Now, the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" has a lot of sailing and naval battle scenes, so Charlotte naturally hopes to make use of existing resources.

——After all, compared to renting a ready-made water tank directly, whether it is digging a new one yourself or shooting directly offshore, it is worse.

——Either the cost is much higher, or the effect may be worse, and it is not safe.

Therefore, during the pre-production stage of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Charlotte had already rented a water tank in Rosarito in advance and had people build a real "Black Pearl" there in advance.

——Of course, it’s something you can only look at.

At least that's what Philippe Biermann thinks.

After all, he also knew how troublesome it was to build a real ship.

Besides, it's not necessary.

However, he did not expect that Charlotte would suddenly ask for an increase in rental time a few days ago.

This is more troublesome.

Although the reasons given by the director are very strong——

"We have developed some new methods that can simulate more offshore scenes in the water tank, which can significantly reduce the number of scenes actually shot offshore and reduce costs."

——It is a good thing to save money, but this means that if it cannot be done, the blame for the inability to save costs will be placed on Philip, who is responsible for this matter.

This naturally gave him a headache.

You know, besides the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean", there is actually another company currently staring at the huge water tank in Rosarito.

——The crew of "Pearl Harbor" directed by Michael Bay is also waiting to use this sink.

This requires coordination by Philip Biermann.

The good thing is that one of the investors in the movie "Pearl Harbor" is Touchstone Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, so the two parties can coordinate;

But the disadvantage is here too——

Because they were considered a family, Philip couldn't just grab the right to use the sink and just ignore it.

For Philip, this was naturally a troublesome matter.

**********

Fortunately, regardless of whether it was troublesome or not, the matter was finally resolved before the filming of all the interior scenes of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew was completed——

The crew of "Pearl Harbor" is willing to adjust the shooting order,

Waiting for the Rosarito water tank to be freed up, allowing the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to extend their lease;

And Robert Iger miraculously convinced Disney's conservative board of directors to approve the plan for a three-part series.

——As far as Philip Bierman knows, President Michael Eisner is still noncommittal about this plan.

However, Robert Iger got the support of Roy Disney, the last member of the Disney family on the Disney board, to get his ambitious plan passed.

——Of course, director Charlotte Booth's amazing past achievements and some of the rough cuts of "Pirates of the Caribbean" also played a big convincing role in this.

In short, the continuous shooting plan of the three dramas has been officially launched.

Just as Charlotte was taking the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to Rosarito to shoot location scenes, negotiations between Philip Biermann and several starring agents also started simultaneously.

——This is also the consistent practice of Hollywood.

——The agent and producer will resolve the disputes behind the scenes and prevent them from affecting the normal work of the crew.

However, as the first producer, Charlotte Booth also serves as the director, so the negotiation work is left to Philip Biermann, the representative from Disney, the largest investor...

*********

"So, Depp, are you going to agree to this continuous shooting plan?"

On the way to Rosarito, Jenny was also asking Johnny Depp about it.

Depp, on the other hand, looked as weird and awake as Captain Sparrow.

"I'm not satisfied with my recent schedule. It's no problem to make enough time, and it's also fun to film with director Charlotte..."

"Can……"

Jenny wanted to say, "What about the salary?" However, just as salaries are generally not discussed among each other in the workplace, actors on the crew also do not discuss salary casually.

After all, some people get tens of millions, and some people can only get tens of thousands. If the income gap is so big, once it is revealed, everyone will be embarrassed.

Fortunately, although Depp usually looks careless, he is very good at observing words and emotions.

"You actually don't have to worry too much about the salary, Jenny!"

Depp whispered to the girl,

"Just leave this kind of thing to the agents and they will take care of it for us - it's their job!"

"Furthermore, although the crew's practice of continuous shooting will cause us to lose the opportunity to increase our pay in the sequel, our pay will have been increased because the shooting time has been extended. What's more, we can also strive for the crew to increase their pay based on Afterwards, based on the results of the film’s release, a step-by-step remuneration will be given.”

"……All right."

Seeing that Depp’s words were exactly the same as what her agent had said before, Jenny just shrugged.

"If it's just a three-part series, it might take a year. It's my first time as a heroine to have such a big event. I'm not used to it."

In response, Depp just blinked mysteriously,

"Don't worry, it won't take that long!"
