In recent years, we have seen Disney adapt the animations we know well into live-action versions. The global success of "Aladdin" this year of US$1.035 billion and the US$1.617.8 billion of "The Lion King" also proves the cleverness of Disney's strategy of "new wine in old bottles".
Currently, Disney’s animated works have been changed to "Maleficent 2", which is currently in theaters. "Miss and the Tramp" will also be launched on Disney+ on November 12th. By then, we can see how Disney earns this year with this trick. How many banknotes are there.
However, to change the "old story" to a "new skin" approach, Disney obviously does not want to be limited to the animation field. If live-action movies can be "refurbished" for use, Disney feels that it is also possible. For example, "Pirates of the Caribbean."
, as the "Pirates of the Caribbean", which has brought countless honors and favors to Disney, is definitely worth exploring for Disney. The director integrated the information and made statistics on the awards of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Since the first "The Curse of the Black Pearl" was released in 2003, the "Plus" series of films have received a total of 60 nominations in the world's top gold-rich film awards such as Oscars, Golden Globe Awards, Saturn Awards, British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards, etc. ! In addition to the "Best Film" and "Best Visual Category", the "Best Male (Female) Lead" and "Best Male (Female) Matching" are nominated for a minority.
From the first to the fifth "Dead No Correspondence" was released for 15 years, the "Plus" series of films also won a total of 35 awards. Coupled with 5 films accumulating 4 billion US dollars (8 "Fast and Furious" 8 5.8 billion), it can be said that this series is not only a "recyclable" magic weapon for Disney, but also an unfinished story for the audience.
The reason why the audience loves this series is actually inseparable from the protagonist "Captain Jack" played by Johnny Depp. To a certain extent, it can even be said that "Jack made this series live." People like to see Captain Jack's unrestrained freedom with the sea as his home, and to see him turning around in crisis after crisis while being bohemian and humorous.
People have even tied him to "Plus": Would it feel that way if the Pirates of the Caribbean didn't have Captain Jack?
Disney thinks: You can try it. After Disney announced the restart of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the outside world did not seem to see any signs of Uncle De's return. And, it seems that Disney is determined not to let Uncle De return. In this regard, the outside world has also conducted a sufficient analysis: Uncle De is not continued to be favored by Disney, in fact, there are reasons. The biggest reason is the pay issue. According to the data released by Forbes: The pay for each "Pirates of the Caribbean" that De Uncle participates in is as high as 90 million US dollars. What is this number
? Let’s do a simple calculation and add one ninth of it to make a "Venom". If you add 10 million, you can make a "Deadpool 2".
So even the media said: If the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" invites Uncle De to come, it is basically equivalent to "financial suicide." In addition, the global box office of the last "Dead No Proof" was only 8 billion US dollars (note this "only", and then look at today's second push), 95 million US dollars of the 230 million US dollars in production costs were paid by Uncle De , Disney’s "giving up" to Uncle De seems to be justified.
Having said that, let’s talk about a digression: Why did Marvel write Tony to death? Why does Marvel (Disney) like to promote newcomers (but there are exceptions)? In fact, they are all closely related to financial figures. Therefore, Disney is determined not to let Uncle De return to the new version of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Of course, it is not ruled out that in the future new movies, Uncle De will not come to guest appearances, after all, the price of guest appearances and the starring must be different. Moreover, even if Disney is accustomed to "watching everything", in the face of the invitation to "return to temptation," the talkative Uncle De is likely to be there.
However, what is more interesting is that after the "Pirates of the Caribbean" restarted the project, Reid Reese and Paul Wernicke, who wrote the script for "Deadpool", publicly stated on social media: very confident in Write the script with Depp's participation. The attitude of the two screenwriters at the time of
actually showed the attitude of Disney to some extent (Fox had not been acquired at the time, but in fact, Fox employees did not want to beThe speculation will actually be biased towards Disney), so it also made people think that Uncle De "even the opportunity to appear in cameo" was gone?
However, fortunately, this movie has a new trend recently: Disney invited Regal Messing, who wrote the script for this year’s hot drama "Chernobyl", and this "newcomer" did not complete his work independently. He will co-write the script with Ted Elliott, the screenwriter of the "Plus" series.
This is definitely better than having the two "newcomers" write things out at the beginning, and the original series producer Jerry Bruckheimer has also returned. This actually laid some foundation for Depp's "return", after all, they are all "old acquaintances". Therefore, in the future, we still have the opportunity to see De Uncle return to the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" on the screen.
But in the end, I have to add two more sentences: Because he had a bad relationship with his ex-wife Aimee Heard (Meira in "Sea King", there are a lot of stories about the two on the Internet), the state of Uncle De in recent years is actually They are all relatively poor, and most of the reports on Uncle De from the outside world are not worrying.
It seems that Uncle De's consistent "crazy" image in film and television has been "transferred" to reality. As fans, people will definitely worry about this. Moreover, no one wants to see Uncle De depressed all day long.
In short, after the restart of "Pirates of the Caribbean", whether as an individual or a fan of the series, I hope to see Uncle De's face again in the new work. The most important thing is: I also hope that my idol will be well.
