Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 672 The Flying Dutchman

"...So, when you are shooting, you must let go of your imagination!"

After telling the actors about the scene, Sherlock showed everyone the monster images designed by the production designers for the crew of the "Flying Dutchman", and then announced the start of filming.

At this time, the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" had left Rosarito, Mexico, and arrived in the Dominican Republic.

This is an island country in the Caribbean where the crew will shoot some of the exterior scenes for the second part.

The crew members of the "Flying Dutchman" also made their official debut.

——This is why Charlotte uses her own dream connection shooting method.

Of course, there is still a small problem——

Who will play Captain Octopus Head Davy Jones?

Originally, Charlotte's "Pirates of the Caribbean" was only planning to shoot the first part, and there was no cast preparation for the second and third parts.

After Disney approved his trilogy continuous shooting plan, Philip Biermann, under the command of Charlotte, urgently searched for subsequent actors.

Fortunately, most of the actors in the Pirates trilogy actually appeared in all three films, so it is not troublesome to find them.

However, they ran into trouble when looking for the big boss in the second and third parts, Captain Davy Jones, the octopus head——

Several suitable target schedules are fully booked, but as the filming progresses, Captain Octopus Head will soon appear on the scene.

So, Charlotte simply made a decision——

"I'm going to guest star as Davy Jones!"

**********

Jenny had never expected that the director would make a guest appearance as the villain BOSS and star opposite herself.

Although I know that many directors have a hobby of making cameos or acting as humanoid props in their films - such as Hitchcock and Francis Coppola - Jenny has never encountered it herself.

Therefore, Jenny, who feels that she is a very professional actor, is not optimistic about the director's guest appearance.

However, when she secretly told Phoenix Retton these opinions, he laughed.

"Jenny, don't you know? Our director has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor - you don't need to worry about his acting skills at all."

"What!?"

Jenny was startled.

The young girl felt that she was indeed ignorant.

However, she was still not convinced,

"But even if his acting skills are good, the role of Davy Jones is still very difficult, right? Especially when performing during motion capture - we have been groping for a long time in this regard, but we haven't found any tricks yet!"

"Well..."

Phoenix didn't answer at the time.

When she saw the director telling them the play in different ways today, and then showing everyone the various monster images designed by the artists, Jenny realized that the director was beginning to use his own methods to guide their performance.

"But can imagination alone solve our previous problems?"

Jenny still couldn’t believe it.

However, when it came time to actually shoot, Jenny found that the shooting went surprisingly smoothly——

With a little imagination, Jenny could imagine the actors in front of her wearing motion-capture tights with capture points all over their bodies as the monster crew members on the "Flying Dutchman".

This made Jenny's performance suddenly feel much more natural.

And looking at the looks of other people, they seem to be in a much better condition.

The imagination of the entire crew seemed to be completely unified at this moment, which made Jenny wonder.

"It seems that Mr. Director's method is really effective!"

Thinking about this, Jenny also looked forward to the director's guest appearance as the octopus-headed captain Davy Jones...

*********

However, Jenny soon discovered that her expectations were not enough——

"What a strong aura!"

When the director who played Davy Jones appeared on the scene, Jenny felt that the atmosphere of the entire shooting scene changed directly——

Originally, everyone was just performing the characters they played, but now, under the director's powerful Big Boss aura, everyone is simply the characters they play.

Just like Jenny herself, she felt that she had really turned into Elizabeth Swann now, trembling in front of the octopus-headed captain Davy Jones.

She even felt that she could see the octopus tentacles on the opponent's chin, and those tentacles were waving autonomously, as if they had a will of their own.

"..."

Jenny couldn’t help but shudder.

"Cut!"

At this time, the photographer, who temporarily took over from the director to control the shooting progress, called a pause, and the director returned to his seat and began to check the results of the shooting.

"How is it? Am I right?"

Phoenix Retton on the side whispered beside Jenny,

"Since Mr. Director is so good at guiding actors to perform, then his own performance level can't be too bad either!"

Jenny nodded.

Johnny Depp on the other side also came over——

"I knew that his acting skills were great, but what I didn't expect was that he could actually guide us in shooting motion capture shots like this."

"Maybe the director has prepared a technical reserve plan and is just waiting for the artists to complete the design of the monster image."

Jenny said thoughtfully.

As she said that, she looked at Depp and Phoenix,

"Speaking of which, your relationship seems to have gotten much better recently, right?"

"us!?"

Both Depp and Phoenix were stunned. After that, Depp was the first to react.

"I used to be with Rui...no, Phoenix was just not familiar enough."

He shook his body and smiled like Jack Sparrow.

"Now that we have experienced a shipwreck together, we are familiar with each other a lot, and our relationship will naturally become closer!"

"Yeah?"

Jenny looked at the two men in front of her slightly suspiciously - she didn't have any "Brokeback Mountain"-style imagination.

——That movie hasn’t been shot yet!

Jenny just felt that these two men must be hiding something from her.

After all, it can be seen from the title——

Depp originally wanted to call Phoenix Retton by his last name, but later changed it directly to the other person's first name - calling him by his first name or even his nickname, isn't it a sign of a good relationship?

*******

Of course, Jenny is neither Sherlock Holmes nor Agatha Christie’s “old cat” Miss Marple.

——She doesn’t know everything about these things.

And, experiencing something together really deepens relationships between people.

In fact, the relationship between Jenny and Phoenix and Depp has improved a lot because of the shipwreck.

——Otherwise, she would not have dared to secretly discuss Mr. Director with Phoenix.

It's just that, in comparison, the relationship between the two men is much closer.

"Didn't you say that people of the same sex repel each other?"

Jenny thought doubtfully.

However, Jenny could also see that even if she continued this topic, she probably wouldn’t be able to ask anything else,

"What do you think the director and the photographer are talking about there?"

She began to change the subject,

"I always feel like they weren't studying the footage they just shot!"
