Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 661 Periphery

"Mr. Director, even if I say bad things about you secretly, you don't need to punish me like this, right?"

In his mind, River Phoenix complained about his boss Charlotte,

"Besides, let me forget it, if you play like this, you will scare the little girl Jenny!"

"That's exactly what I'm here for!"

The answer in Charlotte's heart made Ruifan stunned.

"Are you testing her mental endurance!?"

"Yes."

There was a hint of malice in Charlotte's words;

"After all, in order to completely eliminate the influence of the Poor God, we have to create an "accident" later - as the heroine, if she can't bear it, it will be in trouble."

"...Your testing method is quite surprising."

Ruifan could only be speechless at this time.

"Who asked you to secretly say bad things about me to her?"

Charlotte is determined to retaliate.

As his headless horseman, Ruifan had no choice but to

"But since it needs to be tested, why don't you test Depp, the other "accidental" participant we scheduled?"

"He is the one who brought this poor god on, so there is no need to think too much about this kind of culprit!"

"...That makes perfect sense!"

Even though he and Depp are good brothers, Ruifan could only answer like this.

**********

Apart from this little "accident", the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" had a smooth trip to Rosarito, Mexico.

When they arrived at the destination, everyone discovered that the huge water tank used to film "Titanic" had completely changed.

Not to mention the various rocks used to simulate the mysterious sea areas in the script, the three huge wooden sailboats in the water tank alone are eye-catching——

The ship that looks very much like the Age of Discovery and is hoisted with a tattered black skull and crossbones flag is undoubtedly the "Black Pearl";

The old-fashioned military brig on one side should be the "Interceptor" in the script - the warship that Will Turner and Jack Sparrow stole and used to save Elizabeth Swann;

As for the wooden warship that looks larger and more majestic, it should be the "Fearless".

——Although this "Dreadnought" is not the famous Dreadnought-class battleship that triggered the naval arms race in the Western world before World War I, in the story of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is also a symbol of the British Navy.

"The "Dreadnought" is actually designed with reference to the famous "Victory" battleship in British naval history - it is said that it was General Nelson's flagship in the Battle of Trafalgar, and he was also killed on that ship. "

Charlotte introduced to the crew members proudly,

"I commissioned professionals to build these three ships, trying to restore the historical situation at the end of the heyday of piracy in the 18th century. How about it? Not bad, right?"

"..."

——More than good! ?

Not to mention people like Jenny, who is playing a heroine for the first time and is exposed to commercial blockbusters, even veteran actors like Johnny Depp can't help but grow their mouths when they see such a highly restored old-fashioned wooden boat.

"These three ships can't really sail, can they?"

Surprised, he even revealed that in order to play Captain Jack Sparrow well, he specially asked a dentist to have four gold teeth placed on him.

"It's possible to sail, but it's not fast, and you can't go too far out to sea!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"Ultimately, these are still props for filming - but having said that, the fact that they can be towed here from the dock where they were built also indirectly illustrates their seaworthiness!"

"That's true."

For a moment, the crew members all started whispering.

After all, everyone has been in Hollywood for so long, so they are quite knowledgeable. Naturally, they can understand that the majestic and majestic buildings, including ships, in movies are often just models and some tattered props that appear to be what they are on the surface. .

——This is also the reason why some action actors can resist hammer-headed steel pipes and other percussion instruments in the film.

After all, those props are likely to be made of soft plastic or silicone, or even edible cornflakes and candy if you're a bit tougher.

——Not to mention resisting the blow forcefully, a stronger actor may even destroy the props if he is not careful.

Things like breaking the sword when swinging it, punching through the wall with one punch, etc., were really normal things during the filming of the movie.

Even James Cameron, a man with obsessive-compulsive disorder, can't do anything using real props.

——He might be able to spend tens or even millions on ordering a batch of tableware just for the sake of the White Star Company's logo, but he would never be willing to rebuild a real Titanic.

——Of course, it is possible that he would be willing to give it up, but Fox, which was almost bankrupt at the time, would never be willing to give it up.

In short, the beautiful ship in the movie was nothing more than a half-built hull at the time of filming.

——Not to mention the power system, there is basically no decoration done.

Therefore, everyone is still very surprised that the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was willing to build three wooden ships that look very exquisite and can actually sail on the sea.

Fortunately, the director immediately gave an explanation——

"Actually, there are two reasons for making it so real -"

He held out a finger,

"One is that our movie may be shot in a trilogy. Everyone should know this. Therefore, it is better to make many props stronger. After all, it is still very troublesome if they break midway. Especially because we are still a movie with Water-related movies - you know, "Waterworld" has encountered this situation..."

When the director talked about "Waterworld", which directly led to Hollywood's "discoloration", the people in the props and scenery team immediately understood.

——You know, one of the important reasons why "Future Water World" was such a mess is because its cost was too high.

The main reason for the high cost is that the film was shot on the beach. Affected by tides and weather, the sets were often destroyed, so they had to be constantly repaired.

——Time, the cost is naturally...

“So, when shooting at the beach, it’s better to have sturdy props and scenery. If they get damaged repeatedly, the cost would be worse than using real ones!”

Everyone understood the director's intention.

At this time, Charlotte stretched out a second finger,

"The second reason why we used such a real wooden warship is that after we finished shooting the movie, I had to entrust the manufacturer to continue to perfect it and make it into a ship that can really sail on the open sea - because, someone has already Bought these ships!”

"What!?"

Seeing everyone's demented expressions, the director smiled and said,

"Let's just think of these ships as the biggest peripheral products of our movie!"
