Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 658: Pearl Harbor

"First of all, in the process of persuading the board of directors, you have to test the attitude of other people in the crew towards shooting the sequel immediately."

Robert Egger told Philip Bierman,

"In this way, once I succeed in persuading the board of directors, the negotiation can start or even be completed quickly-so that our continuous shooting plan has practical meaning."

"……All right!"

Philip Bierman finally took over the task of exploring the path.

——This is why he has a headache now.

Because of this probing work, the first person to ask is naturally the director Charlotte.

As a result, Charlotte's answer was very interesting-

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

——Otherwise, Charlotte didn't say anything, but Philip Bierman knew it well.

This also means that Disney not only has to settle internal disputes as soon as possible, determine the trilogy continuous shooting plan, but also quickly complete negotiations with other actors.

——One of the two cannot be completed, and the continuous shooting plan of "Pirates of the Caribbean" may be in vain.

"I hope Mr. Iger can succeed!"

Up to now, Philip Bierman can only wish his immediate boss so much.

And he himself is going to work on another job that Charlotte requested——

Huge sink in Rosarito, Mexico.

This tank was dug by James Cameron when he was filming "Titanic", and it is very suitable for shooting some seascape scenes where you can see the ship's hull.

——Charlotte visited and inspected there when he was still visiting the crew of "Titanic".

And now, there are many scenes of sailing and naval battles in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", Charlotte naturally hopes to be able to use the available resources.

——After all, compared to renting a ready-made sink directly, whether you dig a new one yourself or shoot directly outside the sea, it’s worse.

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

Therefore, at the stage of preparations for "Pirates of the Caribbean", Charlotte had already rented Rosarito's sink in advance so that he could build a real "Black Pearl" in advance.

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

At least Philip Bierman thinks so.

After all, he also knows how troublesome it is to build a real ship.

Besides, there is no need.

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

This is more troublesome.

Although the reason given by the director is very powerful-

"We have developed some new methods that can simulate more open sea scenes in the tank, which can greatly reduce the actual shooting scenes in the open sea and reduce costs."

——It is a good thing to save money, but this means that if it is not done, the pot that cannot save costs will also be detained by Philip, who is in charge of the matter.

This naturally caused him a headache.

You know, besides the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean", there is actually another one staring at Rosarito's huge sink.

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

This requires Philip Bierman to coordinate.

The advantage is that the investors in the movie "Pearl Harbor" also have Touchstone Pictures under Disney, so the two parties can coordinate;

But the disadvantage is also here——

Because he was a family, Philip couldn't directly grab the right to use the sink and ignored it.

For Philip, this is naturally a nuisance.

********

Fortunately, no matter whether it was troublesome or not, the matter was finally resolved before the shooting of all the interior scenes of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew was completed——

The crew of "Pearl Harbor" is willing to adjust the sequence of shooting and wait for Rosarito's sink to be vacated, which allows the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to extend their rental period smoothly;

And Robert Iger also miraculously persuaded Disney's conservative board of directors to approve the plan for continuous shooting of the trilogy.

——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, which allowed his ambitious plan to pass.

——Of course, among them, director Charlotte Booth's amazing achievements in the past and some samples of the current "Pirates of the Caribbean" rough cut have also played a very persuasive role.

In short, the three-series continuous shooting plan is officially launched.

When Charlotte took the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew to Rosarito to shoot location scenes, negotiations between Philip Bierman and several leading agents also started simultaneously.

——This is also the usual practice of Hollywood.

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

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

*********

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

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

And Depp looked weird like Captain Sparrow and not awake.

"My recent schedule is not full~www.readwn.com~ It’s no problem to spare enough time, and it’s also fun to film with director Charlotte..."

"Can……"

Jenny wanted to say "What should I do with salary?" However, just as in the workplace, salary is generally not discussed with each other, so the actors in the crew do not discuss salary at random.

After all, some people can only take tens of millions, and some can only take tens of thousands. The income gap is so large, once it is said, everyone will be embarrassed to each other.

Fortunately, although Depp looks inattentive on weekdays, he is very good at observing words and colors.

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

Depp whispered to the girl,

"Just leave this to the broker, and they will do it for us-this is their job!"

"Furthermore, the continuous shooting of the crew will make us lose the opportunity to increase the remuneration in the sequel, but because the shooting time has been extended, our remuneration would have been increased. Moreover, we can also strive to make the crew based The results of the subsequent film releases will be awarded a step-by-step remuneration."

"……All right."

Seeing that Depp’s words were exactly the same as the previous manager’s words, Jenny just shrugged.

"If it's just a series of trilogy filming, it may take as little as a year to shoot-I'm a bit unaccustomed to encountering such a major event when I acted as a heroine for the first time."

In response, Depp just blinked mysteriously.

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