Best Movie Star

Chapter 581: Andrew Stanton

"Pirates of the Caribbean: At the World's End" is well-placed and its opening weekend coincides with Memorial Day in the United States, a long holiday weekend. Disney Studios has high hopes for the film's box office prospects. Since May 25, it will be released in more than 4,300 theaters in North America at the same time, 110 more theaters than the number of theaters when "Spider-Man 3" premiered at the beginning of the month, a record high.

Before the premiere, a series of good news broke out one after another. For example, Johnny Depp claimed that the film would sell well at the box office and would marry his girlfriend Vanessa, and some Japanese fans were shocked because they witnessed Johnny Depp coming to Tokyo for publicity. Excited to the point of fainting, North American film critics claim that Johnny Depp's acting in Captain Jack Sparrow has been superb, and so on.

Compared with the previous two films, although Matthew and Keira Knightley also participated in a series of publicity announcements before the screening, the publicity plan of Disney Pictures is completely based on Johnny Depp and Captain Jack Sparrow. host.

The reason is very simple. Before the release of the film, Disney Pictures has injected a stimulant into the pirate fans around the world. The famous producer Jerry Bruckheimer is planning "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", and Johnny Depp has agreed to continue. Plays Captain Jack Sparrow.

The roles of Matthew and Keira Knightley have not been explained, but it is clear to the discerning person that Will Turner and Elizabeth Taylor will withdraw from the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

On the day of the premiere, Disneyland in California was full of people, but these were not tourists, but the "pirate fans" who came to the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End" early in the morning. Matthew, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley gather at Disneyland again after a worldwide "pirate" craze.

The premiere was an unprecedented event, with thousands of fans coming to occupy space at 6am, and some even lining up at Disneyland the night before to meet Johnny Depp and Matthew, and many more Fans dressed up as pirates with toy knives in hand to celebrate the release of a new movie.

There were screams on both sides of the long red carpet. Of course, the screams with the highest decibels must belong to the two leading actors, Johnny Depp and Matthew. The appearance of the two made the audience crazy. Disney also arranged for a drum band and Acrobatic performance, the atmosphere is very warm, even "Mickey Mouse" and "Donald Duck" and many other classic Disney characters also put on pirate costumes to add to the fun.

Walt Disney is negotiating a new Disneyland on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" has successfully passed the trial and will land in theaters on the other side of the ocean in mid-June. Disney Pictures specially added East to the premiere. element.

The Chinese title of "Pirates of the Caribbean III" was actually written on the huge billboard on the red carpet, making Chinese the only non-English language that appeared at the premiere, and there were also double dragons painted on the pillars of the billboard.

In addition, the famous movie star Pony Ma and the basketball star who killed everyone in seconds with just his height were also welcomed on the red carpet.

Matthew took Alexandra Daddario in his arms and walked on the red carpet just behind the little Marco couple. When passing the interview area, Marco greeted him with a charming smile, and Matthew also greeted him with his Back with a warm smile.

Of course, that's all.

During the filming, he had seen Brother Ma on the set more than once, but he never planned to run over to talk to Brother Ma in Chinese. First, his predecessor had never learned Chinese, and secondly, Brother Ma didn't seem to be very good at Mandarin. I usually speak Cantonese.

As for the set of almost making friends, I didn't even think about it.

Indeed, like many people living there who like to watch movies, he also likes Pony Ma, but he likes Nicolas Cage more than Pony. work doesn't matter much.

Frankly speaking, actors are divided into circles. Just like Hollywood has Australian gangs, British gangs and Spanish gangs, Matthew can't break into the circle that Pony is in.

Of course, he had no intention of breaking in.

After a brief interview, Matthew walked into the theater and walked down the long passage to the VIP waiting room, when Alexandra Daddario suddenly said, "Does Disney not take you seriously? There's a lot less publicity for you and your characters than last time."

Matthew knew this for a long time, and said as he walked, "It's normal, Disney Pictures doesn't need me to be in Pirates of the Caribbean 4."

In fact, it's not just propaganda. He had seen the finished sample film in Gore Verbinski before, and Jerry Bruckheimer had also greeted him early. Will Turner's role in this film is relatively Because the second part is a little less, and there is no particularly outstanding place, the film also transitioned from the previous dual-core to the single-core with Jack Sparrow as the core.

In other words, in addition to Elizabeth Swan, who was on the sidelines in the second installment, Will Turner is also starting to step aside.

The purpose of Disney Pictures is obvious, to completely establish the core position of Captain Jack Sparrow, and subsequent sequels will only be filmed and produced around the captain.

From the studio's point of view, this is normal, and Matthew doesn't say much, after all, he has no power to dictate post-production, and the series has made him a lot of money.

Of course, his promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End" is also to complete the work, not as exhausted as "Transformers".

"Hi, Matthew! Hi, Anna."

The voice of Helen Herman's greeting came from the opposite side, and Alexandra Daddario smiled and said hello to her agent.

Matthew glanced at Helen Herman first, then at the brown-haired middle-aged man with glasses who followed her.

Helen Herman gave Alexandra Daddario a wink, and Alexandra Daddario immediately understood and said, "I'll go to the bathroom."

She got out of here quickly.

Helen Herman introduced the two sides, "Andrew, this is Matthew. Matthew, this is Andrew Stanton."

Matthew immediately stretched out his hand to shake hands with him. "You're Nemo's father. It's an honor to meet you."

"You're too kind, Matthew." Andrew Stanton spoke slowly. "I've always wanted to meet you, but never had the chance."

He is not without regrets, "Some time ago, Helen said that you would go to the celebration reception of Disney and Pixar, but I couldn't find you. In addition, I have been busy recently, so I didn't see you until today."

Matthew explained simply, "I have to cooperate with Disney's promotion plan, so I can only be absent from the reception." He remembered the movie adaptation of "The Princess of Mars" that Helen Herman had mentioned, and simply asked, "Andrew, you What's up?"

Andrew Stanton said with a smile, "I was very touched by what you said about Megatron at the Transformers announcement two days ago." He was obviously not joking, "I was hosting "Toys". The script writing of "Toy Story 3", your words about saying goodbye to people and toys are sobering, I want "Toy Story 3" to learn from it properly, okay?"

Hearing this, Matthew was somewhat embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned enough to not show the slightest bit, and said, "Of course, I like Pixar's animation very much."

This kind of thing, even if the other party doesn't say hello, it will be used if it is used. In a place like Hollywood, no one will say anything.

"I say thank you for Pixar Studios." Andrew Stanton finished this sentence with a smile, and then changed the subject. He looked at Helen Herman and said, "Helen said just now that he has told you..."

He looked around and saw no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "Tell you about my plan to adapt "Princess of Mars", are you interested?"

Matthew didn't answer him, but said, "I've been taking time to read the original book recently, but I'm too busy with work, and I haven't finished reading "Mars Princess~www.readwn.com~" Andrew Stanton nodded and said, "This is not urgent, I am adapting the script. "

Hearing that he is working on two scripts at the same time, Matthew is not surprised at all. Behind a well-known screenwriter, there are often more small screenwriters serving him, as long as he controls the general direction.

Matthew thought about it and said, "The name of "The Princess of Mars" is not good? It sounds like a female movie."

Speaking of which, he recalled how he felt. It was an inexplicably familiar plot, very much like a junior YY at a certain point in the past. If the name was not chosen well, the male frequency text made a female frequency name, and 80% of it would be thrown. street.

"It will be changed in the later stage." Andrew Stanton is very sincere, "Matthew, I plan to make these three "Mars" into a true interstellar epic trilogy."

At the moment of speaking, his whole person's momentum changed, and there was an indescribable confidence, "I made a preliminary plan, the first production budget is not less than 200 million US dollars!"

"Two hundred million dollars?" Matthew came to the interest, such a cost can be said to be the top production in Hollywood, and asked, "When do you plan to start this project?"

Andrew Stanton replied in a low voice, "I'm currently working on an animated feature film at Pixar Studios, and after finishing this feature film, I plan to start preparing for the "Mars" trilogy." He looked at Matthew, He said sincerely, "Matthew, this is a sci-fi action movie. The male protagonist is a very powerful warrior. No one is more suitable for this role than you."

Matthew thought about it for a while and said, "After you finish the script, can you give me a copy first? I'll give you an answer after reading the script."

"No problem." Andrew Stanton laughed. "I'll keep in touch with Helen."
