Chapter 363: The Power of Struggle
Rosario, a very ordinary city on the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico. Since James Cameron dug out a huge artificial lake here for filming "Titanic", it has become one of Hollywood's important overseas shooting bases, especially sea battle scenes and water scenes, which many crews will shoot here.
Mexico's low labor costs, geographical advantages that are very close to Los Angeles, and corresponding tax incentives and other policies have jointly created a good film shooting environment.
The only thing that is worried about is the gangsters and drug dealers in Mexico.
But as long as these people don’t cramp their heads, they will never proactively provoke Hollywood crews, otherwise they will inevitably attract the attention of the entire America.
Although the Mexican police are not strong, they are so close to the US-Mexico border that they may face joint strikes from both countries at any time.
James Cameron chose this place as the base for filming "Titanic", which obviously took into account safety factors.
On this day, guns and cannons fired on the artificial lake in the shooting area, and the Black Pearl, which was dragged onto the lake by a tugboat, were in chaos, and a large number of strange-shaped pirates fought on it.
"These pirates look really weird."
Standing on the platform behind the camera boat, Shakira looked at the pirates with unique appearances and said to Ronan: "It took a lot of thought to find so many distinctive actors, right?"
Ronan whispered: "It's okay, Hollywood has never been short of manpower."
Shakira seemed to be touched by this. Thinking of her experience in Los Angeles during this period, she felt that this was too true. There were countless actors, screenwriters, videographers, and people in various behind-the-scenes positions, as well as singers like her.
Hollywood has many job opportunities, but compared to the huge number of job seekers, it seems that there are too few jobs.
Originally when he was in Latin America, Shakira started participating in various singing competitions at the age of ten, standing out from the crowd and becoming a first-line singer. She felt that the competition was fierce and cruel. However, after coming to Los Angeles, she found that compared to the competition in the American entertainment industry, there were some basic courses before.
This is the great waves and the sand can only be successful if those who are capable and have good luck.
Shakira thought she was not bad at all abilities, but if she was lucky... she glanced at Ronan, and it seemed that she was not bad at all.
After the long-range shooting, director Gore Vibinski took the shooting team to the pirate ship, and Ronan also came to the previous shooting ship.
Because he wanted to create lyrics, he asked Shakira to watch and shoot them up close.
The three protagonists, Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Keira Knightley, also appeared on the stage to participate in the shooting, and the main camera was basically revolving around them.
Johnny Depp has been doing many troubles such as being late or drinking on the crew, but when he entered the filming state, he immediately became the pirate captain who attracted everyone's attention.
Even Ronan has to admit that the character Jack Sparrow seems to be born for Johnny Depp.
But the captain is outstanding and the blacksmith is not bad. Christian Bale has been shirtless, revealing his strong muscle lines, and his swordsmanship is also very good.
Among the characters of Pirates of the Caribbean, the little blacksmith is the one with the best swordsmanship.
Christian Bale is worthy of being a rubber man. Standing here and looking at him, he is as strong as Bruce Wayne.
The two characters, Captain and Blacksmith, can be said to have their own characteristics.
By contrast, Miss A Kayla Knightley became a pure vase.
Ronan and Gore Vibinsky have communicated and have similar views on this. Hollywood commercial films, especially pirate films that focus on male characters, let the female characters make a vase safely.
This is also the safest way to deal with female characters in commercial films.
Shakira has been observing carefully that these strange pirates seem to be a bit subverting the tradition, especially the one with smoky makeup, who is as squeaky as a woman.
But strangely, she did not have any disgust, but instead felt that the pirate captain's every move was particularly coordinated, as if she was born to be like this.
This made Shakira's inspiration burst out, and one thing was completely clear in an instant. The lyrics must be themeed with the male protagonist "Pirate Captain".
During the shooting, Ronan found Gore Vibinsky and chatted for a brief moment.
"Overall, it went smoothly," Gore-Vippensky said simply: "We prepared very well, and after the running-in period, most of the work became orderly."
Since Ronan chose Gore Vibinsky, he would certainly give him enough trust and said: "Gor, this video is very suitable for you. You should try your best to use your sense of humor and narrative skills. The film has supernatural elements and allows you to use a lot of special effects."
Gore Vibinski nodded: "Thank you for your support."
Ronan did not disturb Gore Vipensky's work too much. The filming was based on director Gore Vipensky as the main one. The news compiled by all aspects was good, and the final editing rights were in his hands. The final direction of the film was decided by him, the producer.
Besides, the editor is also someone Ronan can truly trust.
Filming restarted, Ronan found Jessica Felton, the former editor-in-chief, who had embarked on the path of producer and served as post-production producer and editing director of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
"Long time no see, Jessie." Ronan opened his arms and hugged Jessica Felton, and said, "You seem to have lost weight."
Jessica Felton's skin turned into a light wheat color, and she became much darker and thinner, but the mountain peaks on her chest were still upright, making her look even more majestic.
"There's no way, follow the crew all day long to the wind and sun." Jessica Felton raised his sun hat.
Ronan said: "You can wait for post-production before joining the crew."
Since Ronan was attracted to his mind, Jessica Felton has no longer been a pure tech mate. At this time, he said: "I want to make further progress in the producer and must follow the crew."
Luo Nan nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Jessica Felton and Ronan had known each other for a long time, and were not polite. They looked at Shakira and said, "There is no way. You have to work harder. You should work harder. You should take beauties everywhere and change candidates often. Which one is the first?"
Ronan laughed and said, "I can't do anything. Jesse, you are single by your strength. I don't have the strength of you, so I can only stay single in this way."
Faced with such words and such a thick face, Jessica Felton opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and finally found himself speechless.
After a while, Jessica Felton shrugged: "At the beginning, when I saw you working so hard, I thought you would be an alternative to Hollywood."
Ronan spread his hands and said, "I'm working very hard now."
Jessica Felton agreed with this sentence: "Indeed, if you work hard, you are no less than anyone in this circle." She frowned slightly: "But you are still different from what I originally thought."
Instead of answering her words, Ronan asked, "Jesse, why do you think a normal man should work so hard?"
"Start a career." Jessica Felton replied immediately, and said, "For the sake of success."
Ronan reminded: "What can these bring?"
Jessica Felton is a technical stream after all: "A huge satisfaction."
Ronan had no choice but to remind him: "Be more popular."
Jessica Felton combined Ronan's reality and thought about it carefully. She was a smart person, so it was not difficult to get an answer: "Money, power and women."
"Jesse." Ronan said with a smile: "You are indeed my confidant."
"I can only say that you are like most men in this world." Jessica Felton said.
Ronan does not deny this: "This is also the motivation to make men fight."
If hard work is not about enjoyment, not about being arrogant, or surrounding beauty, but about becoming a pure and puritanical Puritan, most people will soon lose motivation.
Jessica Felton suddenly said: "When we first started working together, I hid in the room to study editing technology, and I was bored. Occasionally, I thought that if I wanted to find a man in the future, you would be a good choice. Fortunately, I quickly recognized your true face and did not get deceived."
Ronan looked innocent: "Why didn't I realize you had this kind of thought?"
Jessica Felton ignored Ronan's words and said to himself: "Ronan, you are a good friend. I think it is a blessing to be friends with you, but you are definitely not a qualified lover."
Ronan asked directly: "Jesse, is this a good guy card?"
Jessica Felton deliberately straightened her chest and looked even more fierce: "This is a statement in advance, we are friends."
Ronan said: "Don't worry, I am a very principled person."
Jessica Felton is the producer he focuses on training, and after working several times, he has proved that his ability is quite good and may develop well in the production industry in the future.
During the filming interval, Ronan talked to several protagonists for a while. The atmosphere between the actors in the crew was not good, especially the three protagonists got along a little unpleasantly.
Kayla Knightley is okay, but she complains that she has too few scenes and can only act as a vase, and she is a little envious of the paychecks of the two male protagonists.
But with her fame and information, I can only endure it.
By contrast, Christian Bale has a huge opinion on Johnny Depp.
Johnny Depp was late for shooting and was often drunk when shooting dialogue scenes, which made Christian Bale quite dissatisfied.
Ronan specifically found Johnny Depp's agent Tracy Jacob to talk about Johnny Depp's problems and told her that if Johnny Depp did his own thing, he would execute the deduction agreement in the contract...
Johnny Depp still had some concerns about Ronan, a producer with a growing reputation, and then restrained him a lot.
Ronan's week in Rosario, he didn't cause any more trouble.
