Chapter 223 Depp scolded Disney's chairman
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
Starting from March, Disney Pictures' promotion and marketing of "Pirates of the Caribbean" gradually began to make efforts. As late March approached, Disneyland held a carnival. Disney Pictures and Disneyland called a grand media event on the square in front of Disneyland, California, to let the main creators of the film get along with media reporters.
Before this, relevant publicity and promotion work had been carried out.
For example, after the New Year, such news gradually spread in North American media, saying that Johnny Depp has British royal blood and is a cousin with Elizabeth II...
"Is this true?"
In a large makeup trailer in front of Disneyland, Kayla Knightley, who had already put on makeup, snatched the newspaper from Matthew and began to read it softly.
"The famous movie star Johnny Depp is considered to be kinship with the British royal family and is the same person as Queen Elizabeth's grandfather twenty generations ago."
Even with Johnny Depp's cheeky face, it's a bit embarrassing for such news hype.
Matthew also scratched his head. This Hollywood promotional hype is simply using everything to attract attention. Compared with this news, the promotional plan that he and Kayla Knightley have not yet started is a conscientious plan.
Kayla Knightley is still reading, "Nick Ballart, a researcher on ABC TV's program "Who Do You Think You Are?", disclosed to the media that he found evidence that Johnny Depp and the British royal family are really kinship. Nick Ballart is also the editor-in-chief of "Your Family History". He said: Johnny Depp and Elizabeth's 20th great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-gre
Matthew could see that Johnny Depp, who gradually completed Captain Jack Sparrow's outfit, was also quite helpless.
Kayla Knightley read the last and most critical sentence of the report at this time, "regardless of whether Johnny Depp is involved in the British royal family, his new work "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" will be released as scheduled on July 7 this year."
In fact, all the previous content is to introduce the last sentence.
"Depp!" Kayla Knightley asked again, "Is there a little authenticity?"
"I don't know." Johnny Depp stood up from the makeup mirror and walked to the opposite side of Kayla Knightley. "This one is going to go back 500 years ago and ask me about my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather."
Matthew, in Will Turner's outfit, grabbed a prop sword next to him and hung it on his waist, and said, "It's probably the news carefully created by the crew."
Johnny Depp also said, "They know more about my ancestors than I do."
At this time, a staff member informed them that it was time to go out. Johnny Depp took the lead, and Matthew walked out with Keira Knightley, who was wearing British lady clothes.
They walked into the event site along a specially set up passage and were immediately surrounded by media reporters.
According to the previous plan, Matthew, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley all acted alone in order to face more journalists and media and create as much news as possible.
Matthew stood in front of a huge "Black Pearl" setting, and more than a dozen reporters gathered around him. It is not difficult to find out from the tags on the chests of these reporters that they cover media platforms such as newspapers, magazines, TV stations and the Internet.
These journalists had communicated with Disney in advance, and there was no problem with order. A reporter from The Hollywood Reporter took the lead and asked, "Matthew, before you entered Hollywood, you worked in a variety of careers in construction workers and drivers. What made you choose to be an actor?"
Matthew thought about it and gave a patterned answer, "If I were an actor, I could become anyone, play different roles, and experience different experiences. I am very excited about this opportunity and prospect."
He smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm too indecisive and don't know whether I want to be a driver, a construction worker, or something else. When I watch TV, movies and dramas, I often think that if I'm an actor, I can be someone I want to be who I am. This may be my actor complex. I don't want to escape or hide. As a young man, I'm very confident in growing up and optimistic about my future life."
Another female reporter asked, “What does the performance mean to you?”
Matthew replied without thinking, "For me now, performance is my life!"
The reporter's question then was a bit sharp, "Why did you choose a movie like "Pirates of the Caribbean"? Don't you know that the Pirates movie has fallen?"
"I have loved Pirates movies since I was a child," Matthew started to talk nonsense again, but he just made nonsense according to the crew's promotional settings. "Black Pirates, Captain's Blood and Treasure Island are all movies I like. To this day, the charm of these pirates is as good as ever. We are not shooting a traditional pirate movie. I believe that "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" will be more in line with the tastes of modern audiences."
These are the calibers set by the crew in promotion, and Matthew will certainly abide by them, continuing, "Screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rosio incorporated fascinating supernatural elements into the story of the film, and during the filming of the film, the two accompanied them from beginning to end."
For example, any crew is extremely skilled in deliberately letting go of movie fans. "In fact, after completing "Aladdin" in 1992, Elliot and Rosio wanted to create a pirate film script, but no film company was interested in this idea at that time, and their ideas were brewing for a full 10 years."
If there is some basis for what happened before, if such a film has been brewing and planning for ten years, it is just to create gimmicks and nonsense.
Well... Ten years ago, the two screenwriters thought they could write a pirate script, and then did nothing. Ten years later, a pirate movie written by them was born, so it took ten years to prepare.
In the years since he came here, Matthew has discovered that almost all Hollywood blockbusters will promote the film for many years in promotional marketing. Of course, these are all fooling words.
Why do you say that? Because the media and audiences just use this trick.
Hollywood has a complete market operation system, and promotion is like Hollywood's film production assembly line, with a large number of effective templates.
For example, the fake relationship between Matthew and Kayla Knightley, which has not been implemented, is almost inevitable for the male and female protagonists in a Hollywood movie. A large number of couples are also created. Existences like love are sometimes treated as business in Hollywood.
There are precedents to refer to when the relationship is exposed, when the public kisses are publicly, when they live together, when they get engaged, and when they break up.
Even in order to achieve better publicity results, it is not impossible to have a fake marriage.
It is still circulating in the circle. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, who have divorced, are typical examples of a manipulated marriage.
It is estimated that only they, their agents, and Scientology know the truth best.
The interview went smoothly, and there were Disney news public relations staff following each other to prevent unexpected situations.
Then, Matthew, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley gathered in front of a huge advertising poster used by Disney to promote the Pirates of the Caribbean and the Pirates of the Caribbean tour. All three of them were always showing their friendship forever.
Of course, compared to the ordinary crew, the relationship between Matthew, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley is indeed much better.
After the event, the three of them walked around the back of the billboard and built a huge tent here, where Jerry Brookheimer and some senior Disney executives were all here.
There were fewer reporters around. As he walked towards the entrance of the tent, Kayla Knightley pulled Matthew and let Johnny Depp walk in front alone.
"Thank you for your Christmas and New Year's gifts." Kayla Knightley whispered Matthew, "Do you often please girls like this?"
Matthew shrugged slightly, and did not deny it, "I have given my ex-girlfriend this way."
Kayla Knightley looked at Matthew, "Do you have an ex-girlfriend?" She widened her eyes, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Everyone said it was an ex-girlfriend." Matthew spread his hands, "I've broken up long ago and will not have any impact on our next plan."
Johnny Depp in front just walked to the door of the tent and suddenly stopped. Matthew and Keira Knightley also stopped and stood next to Johnny Depp.
Because in the tent, Michael Eisner, chairman of Walt Disney, was complaining to Jerry Brookheimer, and the protagonist in the conversation was Johnny Depp.
"They can't accept this role! The fans can't accept it!" Michael Eisner didn't seem to notice the door. "Johnny Depp will ruin this movie! Do you know what I feel after watching the sample clip? What's wrong with this guy? Is he a little mentally retarded? Is he drunk? Is he a gay!"
Johnny Depp's face looked very ugly, and anyone who said this would be unhappy.
"Depp..."
Matthew expected something was wrong and wanted to remind Johnny Depp, but before he could say it, Johnny Depp strode to Michael Eisner.
Johnny Depp stretched out his orchid finger, shook his ecstasy steps, and pointed at Michael Eisner in a squint, saying, "Disney female leader, don't you know? All my characters are gay!"
Chapter completed!
