Chatty Hollywood

Compared with the Disney executives who are both looking forward to and worried in the office, the audience who watched the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering of Souls" in the cinema are much happier.

In the projection hall, the air-conditioning was inhaled for a while, and the sound of the roar of laughter changed for a while, reflecting the level of everyone's devotion.

Just like Richard Manson, as a film critic, he originally came to experience the performance level of the actors, but he saw half of it and was completely lost in the world of movies.

——You know, he had participated in an internal preview of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" before.

However, he heard that director Charlotte adjusted the editing, soundtrack and special effects significantly after the internal audition, and even made up some shots, so in a responsible attitude, he prepared to watch it again.

——As a result, looking at it, he forgot his job as a film critic.

Of course, I can’t say that I have forgotten everything-

"The public release version has indeed changed a lot compared to the internal trial release. Let alone special effects music or something-ah, it's Krakente (North Sea Giant Monster)!-Hey, where did I sum it up just now!?-Ah, The flying Dutchman dived, this section is really cool..."

--like this.

So, sometimes, interest and work are the same thing, which is not a good thing.

That means you can't enjoy the fun of your own interests...

In contrast, fans like Emily are more pure.

This time, she still came with Jaina.

But from the beginning of the movie, she didn’t have time to communicate with Jaina—

First came the appearance of Lord Beckett, which forcibly ended the wedding of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, who had come together so easily in the previous movie.

Then, Will Turner was asked to find Captain Jack and retrieve the magical compass in his hand, otherwise he and Elizabeth would be sentenced to hang.

Then, as soon as the screen turned, Captain Jack, played by Johnny Depp, appeared...

"It's so fast-paced!"

Emily sighed.

As a senior movie fan, she feels that the rhythm of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is much faster than the first one, and there is almost a feeling that what is happening on the big screen is rushing to the face.

In particular, because Will Turner, Captain Jack and Elizabeth are separated in action in the story, a multi-line narrative method is used in the film.

——Ordinarily, it is fast-paced and multi-line narrative, which should make viewers feel very confused and difficult to understand.

However, Emily did not feel this way at all.

Although because of the fast pace, she did not see some details too clearly.

However, the main line of the story has always been clear in her mind.

——In this case, the fast pace that would make people feel overwhelmed, in turn became an attraction that attracted her to further immerse herself in the movie world.

Moreover, Emily doesn't know what's going on, and always feels that in this "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", there is a feeling of "Mention the devil, the devil will appear"——

In a movie, the switching between several story lines is often when a person in front mentions the name of the person in the other line, and then the camera is switched over immediately.

After switching over, the mentioned person often exists in a very interesting state.

This often results in a very good smile.

——Anyway, Emily has been amused several times because of this switch.

Among them, the funny girly captain Jack Sparrow is the most frequent, and the sneer Will Turner and the quirky Elizabeth are not too much.

This trick is actually a common method when switching clips in Hollywood movies.

However, this time Charlotte used this method to its limit...

*********

As Charlotte said when studying the editing plan of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the multi-line narrative is not the real reason for the failure of his original time and space "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

——The chaos and procrastination caused by multi-line narration, so that the climax period lasts too short and not enough to burn, which is the key to the problem.

In this regard, Charlotte strengthened the narrative over and over again through editing and reshooting;

On the one hand, it speeds up the progress of the film in non-climax segments by using lens language and other methods that do not take too much time, so as to allow more time for special effects shots in climax segments.

After all, martial arts in the world can only be broken quickly!

What's more, Charlotte from the future knows very well that after entering the 21st century, the rhythm of movies has been faster and faster.

In this case, he speeds up the rhythm of the movie, which can be regarded as the general trend...

********

Of course, not all viewers were sunk by Charlotte's fast-paced blitz and multi-line narrative.

Professional film critics like Kenneth Turan who tried to participate in every internal preview of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" can barely maintain their professional qualities.

"Charlotte Booth really solved the dead knot in this movie in the end!"

——Will try to participate in every internal preview of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", although it is because Kenneth Turan has become a fanboy of the director level of Charlotte, and every movie of Charlotte wants to study one time.

On the other hand, because of his professional sensitivity as a film critic, he instinctively discovered some problems with the internal preview version of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

When he watched the first internal screening, although he thought the movie was great, he still felt a little awkward.

This made him a little curious.

After participating in several internal auditions, he finally summarized the problem——

"In several internal trial releases ~www.readwn.com~ the narrative and rhythm of the film have some subtle problems. It is generally difficult to see even if it is a film critic, but if it is released like that, the audience experience will definitely be affected. Impact—Charlotte Booth must have discovered this problem, so he revised it over and over again—but I didn't expect him to actually solve it, or to such an extent!”

Kenneth felt that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was actually a difficult movie to make.

The expanded world view and complicated story based on the first part, but multi-line narrative is inevitable;

And because of the need to undertake the third story, the settlement of this movie cannot be regarded as the true ending.

——In this case, finding the way to success is like finding the only cyan thread among the countless tangled blue threads. 99.99% is impossible.

But Charlotte Booth did it--

"He has used his narrative ability and rhythm control ability to the limit!"

Kenneth Turan sighed.

"Especially in terms of lens language and editing, it has reached a super **** level-without these help, the switching between the multiple narrative lines of this film will not be so smooth and natural-this "Caribbean "Pirates 2: Soul Gathering Coffin" will become a classic in multi-line narrative commercial movies!"
