[US Entertainment] Actor

Despite only staying on the red carpet for six or seven minutes, Ebert received an enthusiastic response from the live audience.In order to be able to see this newly released movie for the first time and get in touch with the big stars on the scene, more than 7 spectators flooded into Disneyland today.

From the dense crowd, Ebert saw at least hundreds of spectators holding their names. They did not occupy the most favorable position, but when Ebert's figure appeared on the red carpet, they still tried their best to speak loudly. Called out his name.

"Ebert!" "Ebert!"

Ebert paused on the side of the red carpet to wave to fans.

The best positions on both sides of the red carpet are undoubtedly the reporters sent by various media. Along the way, the sound of flashing lights and "clicking" to take pictures has never stopped.But Ebert's fans were not bad either. They quickly squeezed to the side of the red carpet, approached Ebert, and handed over paper and pens.

"Your appearance today is so handsome!" A fan held up his large poster, "I have printed every photo of you in recent events, including today's!"

Ebert said thank you repeatedly while signing the autograph.

This fan is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. When she saw the last stroke of Ebert's name on the notebook, she couldn't help showing a bright smile: "Can you sign a few more? Everyone in our dormitory is here. !"

Ebert looked down. At some point, four or five girls of the same age appeared beside the little girl named Cynthia. Everyone had flushed faces, and the excitement was palpable. Ebert couldn't help but nodded. , and wrote a few more signatures on the notebook.

After signing, several little girls laughed and ran away excitedly. Even Cynthia, who was the most courageous, retreated into the crowd and disappeared in an instant.

Ebert wrote a few more autographs and walked from one end of the red carpet to the other in no time.

There, the stars who had walked the red carpet had already sat down one by one.Ebert's seat was arranged on Keira Knightley's left, Johnny Depp was on her right, and director Gore Verbinski sat in the middle of the entire row of seats. Mr. Director gently sipped He pursed his lips and looked straight ahead with a serious expression.

Many movie stars who became famous for their youth comedy came to participate in the red carpet of this premiere, including Anne Hathaway, who is affectionately called "Princess Mia" by fans, and starred in "A Couple Born", this year There is a Lindsay Lohan in "Hot Mom and Spice Girls" in the summer file.

Johnny Depp knocked on Ebert's chair: "Why are you not nervous at all, look at Keira, she doesn't know where to put her hands! And Gore, he looks more than Mr. President serious."

Johnny Depp's complaints drew double stares from Keira Knightley and Gore Verbinski. The actor who is especially good at funny can only shrug his shoulders helplessly: "A little sense of humor nothing."

"Johnny, it's you who owes me too much." When Johnny Depp interrupted, Keira Knightley's expression finally recovered a little bit of life: "This is my first Hollywood movie, I should be nervous .On the contrary, I think this guy Ebert is a freak, he is not nervous at all, why?"

Ebert's relaxation was obvious to all.

Among the actors in "Pirates of the Caribbean", Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush have experienced the most storms. Jeffrey is 52 years old this year. What made him truly famous was "Shining" released in 1996. "The Elegance", this movie won him the first Oscar in Australian history, but Rush was 45 years old at that time, and he had missed the best time to become a top star.

Johnny Depp became famous very early, and his good cooperation with Tim Burton has made him one of the most personal actors in Hollywood, but even he rarely carries a commercial masterpiece alone Experience, although he has played well in films such as "Edward Scissorhands" and "Ed Wood", but in terms of commercial value, he is not only far inferior to Tom Cruise of a similar age, Even Leonardo, who worked together in "A Different Sky", can leave him behind.

Johnny Depp is not unnerved, he just hides the inner nervousness with mature performance and rich experience.

The movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" is far more important to Johnny Depp than Ebert and Keira Knightley. On the one hand, Ebert and Keira are just Johnny's green leaves in this movie, On the other hand, both of them are still very young, and the gains and losses of a movie are nothing.

But if this movie really explodes at the box office, Johnny Depp's play path can be further expanded, and the audience's impression of him will not be limited to the category of niche literary films and grotesque styles. For Johnny, who has passed his 40th birthday, this is undoubtedly an important turning point in his career.

In his opinion, since Ebert does not need to shoulder the burden of the box office, it is understandable for him to relax, but now, Ebert is obviously over-relaxed, and he seems to be full of boundless confidence and energy.

After Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp asked the same question, Ebert pretended to think: "Because I have full confidence in this movie, I think it can earn at least $3 million at the box office. "

"If your expression looks more pious, maybe I will believe it." Keira Knightley rolled her eyes at Ebert, "It's not convincing at all."

Ebert retorted: "Since we've done the film, why don't we have more faith in how it turns out? Johnny, what do you think?"

Johnny Depp fell into a brief silence.

Of course he hoped that the film would be as successful as Ebert said, but the difficulty was too great.

Last year, there were only three movies in the United States with a total box office of more than 3 million US dollars, namely "Spider-Man", "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" and "Harry Potter II: The Vanishing Chamber". In the movie, "Spider-Man" is adapted from Marvel's classic comics and has a wide audience. The latter two are the sequels of the hit movies, "Star Wars Episode 2" and George Lucas's most successful "Star Wars" The series has the same roots, and the "Harry Potter" series is adapted from the world's best-selling fantasy novels. If nothing else, sequels to these two films will also be available soon.

Compared with these three films, "Pirates of the Caribbean" hardly has any inherent advantages. Although it has the support of Jerry Bruckheimer, a gold medal producer, Jerry still has another movie released this summer, directed by Michael Bay. , "Bad Boys 2" starring Will Smith.

If last year's data is difficult to explain, this year's summer file has already started, and there are only a few films that are capable of winning 3 million US dollars.

《海底总动员》至今已经收获2亿7400万美元票房，7月份突破3亿美元指日可待。金·凯瑞和詹妮弗·安妮斯顿主演的《冒牌天神》已经离开了每周的周末票房排行前十，这部电影目前的累计票房是2亿2870万美元，成绩非常可观。

"Matrix 2: Reloaded" reached a cumulative box office of 6 million US dollars at the end of June, slightly inferior to "Finding Nemo". .

These films can be said to be evenly divided, with a total of more than 8 million US dollars in the summer box office, and the film companies involved in the production have made a lot of money.In this series of lists, perhaps the only regret is DreamWorks. The production cost of "Sinbad Legend of the Seven Seas" launched by DreamWorks in the summer is 6000 million US dollars. This week's weekend box office rankings only ranked seventh, and there is no hope of paying back.

"Hulk" produced by Universal Pictures and directed by Ang Lee also participated in the competition for this year's summer vacation. However, the investment of 1 million US dollars has only achieved a box office of 3700 million US dollars so far. The ranking has dropped to No. 1. According to the current trend, unless the film makes some gains in overseas markets, Universal can only swallow the bitter fruit of losses.

The big-name summer file made the situation of "Pirates of the Caribbean" even worse, but even though the main creators were more worried, the premiere of the film was still held as scheduled. The weird music sounded slowly, and the words "Pirates of the Caribbean" gradually became clear in sight.

Both Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, who were still preoccupied, raised their heads and focused their eyes on the screen.

What came into view was a thick fog that could not be melted away and a big ship slowly approaching. A little girl stood on the bow and sang childish songs about pirates.

There was no doubt that it was the infant Governor's daughter, Elizabeth Swan.

Elizabeth's singing was stopped, and Gibbs believed that her singing would be doomed.

Elizabeth stood on the bow again. She found a boy floating up from the bottom of the sea. Then, a merchant ship on the opposite side suddenly burst into flames. The situation seemed critical. Elizabeth was sent by her governor father to take care of the boy named Will Turner. Boy, she finds a coin with a skull on Will Turner's neck.

When she raised the coin to see it more clearly, she suddenly found a ship appeared on the opposite side at some point, with a black flag with a skull printed on it flying.

It's a pirate ship!

The movie has only been screened for 5 minutes, but the coins full of mystery and the pirate ship suddenly appearing in the fog are undoubtedly a very clever beginning. The curiosity of the audience has been aroused. Knowing what that coin means, and what kind of story will happen next, however——

Just when Elizabeth opened her pupils wide and tried to see the boat clearly, her childish clear eyes suddenly transformed into a pair of sly and bright girlish eyes.

Still Elizabeth Swan, but in a teenage version of Elizabeth.

The audience eager to explore the story behind the coin couldn't help sighing.

But the beginning of this story is really good, and they all have a full desire to read it.
