Chapter 1100: Pirates of the Caribbean Premiere
The lights in the screening room dimmed, leaving only the light on the big screen, leading all the audience into this fantastic adventure at sea.
The story takes place in the Caribbean Sea, where pirates are said to be most active. This mysterious sea is located in the western Atlantic Ocean, between North and South America. It has blue seas and blue skies, bright sunshine, and crystal clear water. In the 17th century, this was the only way for European merchant fleets to reach America. Therefore, pirate activities at that time were very rampant, not only attacking passing merchants, but even the royal fleet.
The movie begins with a navy ship slowly approaching in the fog, and a little girl dressed in 17th century costume stands on the bow singing a pirate song.
At this time, the little girl also found a small raft floating on the sea with a little boy lying on it. The people on the boat rescued the little boy, but when they turned around, they saw a burned merchant ship floating on the sea, and the remains of the merchant ship were scattered on the sea nearby, which was shocking.
Merchant ships usually have very good defensive weapons, and to see them destroyed like this, people speculated that the merchant ship must have been attacked by pirates.
On the other side, the little boy also woke up, but he only had time to say his name was Will Turner before he fell asleep again.
But the little girl found a gold coin with a skull pattern on it, which was a pirate symbol, but in order to protect little Will, the girl hid the gold coin.
But at this time, a ship with a black pirate flag floated through the thick fog! In the blink of an eye, eight years passed, and the little girl grew into a beautiful girl. Her name was Elizabeth, the daughter of the Governor of Royal Port.
For eight years, Elizabeth had never forgotten this incident from her childhood. When she recalled it this time, she couldn't help but take out the skull gold coin and wear it around her neck.
Today is Norrington's promotion ceremony. Elizabeth's father thinks Norrington is a very good candidate for son-in-law and really hopes that his daughter can marry Norrington, but Elizabeth is not interested in this marriage.
But at her father's request, she still put on the dress that was so tight that she couldn't breathe.
At this time, Will, the little boy who was rescued eight years ago, also came to visit Elizabeth's father and presented him with the sword he made by himself.
The direct verbal interaction between Will and Elizabeth after they grow up makes the audience feel the undercurrent of affection between the two, but due to the disparity in their status and the obstruction of Elizabeth's father, the two can only maintain superficial politeness and unfamiliarity.
At this moment, a magnificent background music suddenly sounded, and a man with a tricorn hat, dirty braids, smoky makeup, and a rebellious look on his body stood on the crossbar of the sail, facing the sea breeze, looking firmly at the coastline ahead.
This appearance was undoubtedly very brilliant, but before the audience could cheer for Lin Fan's appearance, the whole scene was wrong the next second! The character played by Lin Fan suddenly jumped down from the horizontal bar, and his feet were directly submerged by the water in the cabin. Then he began to frantically take the small wooden bucket and pour the water out of the cabin.
Because, this little sailboat, it leaks! Water! This sudden turn of events almost broke the audience's back. After all, no one can accept that such a handsome character at the beginning would collapse so badly in the next second!
At least give us some time to prepare! Turning so fast, aren't you afraid of flipping over?
Obviously, Lin Fan was not afraid at all. Because even at such an embarrassing moment, the magnificent music in the background never stopped, which made the whole scene look even more funny.
However, the camera turned and saw three skeletons hanging on the port. The man threw away the barrel in his hand, took off his hat and pressed it against his chest to greet them.
At the harbor, the busy crowd also saw the man and his extremely unique sailboat - the hull had completely sunk into the water, with only the mast supporting the sail still standing stubbornly in the air.
The man stood proudly on the top of the mast, and calmly stepped onto the dock before the entire ship completely sank. His sturdy sailboat was also completely swallowed by the sea.
How should I describe this whole process? It is tragic, yet also a bit humorous and heroic.
It makes people want to laugh, but also feels a little bit disrespectful.
But if I don’t laugh, I can’t seem to hold it back.
In short, the audience was in a dilemma.
But in addition to this, the audience also noticed that Lin Fan's role this time was a pirate.
It’s not like Lin Fan hasn’t played villain roles before, such as King Zhou in Investiture of the Gods, but it has to be admitted that due to his outstanding looks, it’s difficult for him to play an ugly role.
Whether it is Ning Caichen at the beginning, Liang Shanbo later, or even the reporter in "Roman Holiday" and Jack in "Titanic", they are all handsome guys. Although their styles span ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries, each character has his own charm.
When it comes to appearance, Lin Fan has never lost.
But if you don't look closely, you can't recognize that it's Lin Fan's face when he plays the pirate Jack! His makeup is so unique! He wears a retro tricorn hat with a red headscarf underneath, a head full of dirty braids, and his hair is decorated with unknown bones, beads, coins, and other small things. He has smoky makeup on his face and a small mustache. The key is that he twists his waist three times with every step he takes, and he twists his waist even more than the Victoria's Secret Angels!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
This role completely subverted Lin Fan's previous image! The audience and fans were completely unable to accept it at once. Everyone suspected that Lin Fan had encountered some major changes, which was why he "ruined" himself and designed such a strange and contradictory role for himself.
However, discerning film critics, media reporters, and colleagues clearly saw Lin Fan's breakthrough in this role.
This is not only a breakthrough in personal image, but also a breakthrough in role and acting skills!
A good-looking person plays another good-looking character, which is a level that ordinary actors can achieve.
But for an actor who is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with his outstanding looks to play a role that is completely different from himself, this is progress.
The pirate role played by Lin Fan at this time is more than just an improvement in acting skills.
Maybe the audience hasn't noticed it yet, but film critics, media reporters, and colleagues have already seen that this character is not only the pinnacle of image, but also has a deeper personal charm waiting for the audience to discover, analyze, appreciate or criticize.
