Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 225: Night on Phi Phi Island

At ten o'clock in the evening, the cool sea breeze blew into the house, causing the curtains to flutter in the wind.

Lin Yuan was looking through the script and tomorrow's shooting plan. He was always meticulous about his work and strived to do his best.

The script was the outline he had drawn up, and he had read the shooting plan many times. At this moment, these contents seemed to be imprinted in his mind.

In short, the general plot of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is as follows:

The story continues from the end of the previous movie, with Turner, played by Lin Yuan, and Elizabeth, played by Anne, letting Captain Jack go.

And Brigadier General Norrington acquiesced to all this.

Turner and Elizabeth were about to get married, but everything was disrupted with the arrival of Lord Beckett, a senior figure in the East India Company.

Lord Beckett immediately announced the arrest of Turner and Elizabeth on the charge of releasing Captain Jack, a serious criminal on death row in the empire.

For this crime, both men will also be sentenced to death.

So Turner and Elizabeth were thrown into prison.

But in fact, Lord Beckett's purpose was not really to take the lives of the two people. He just wanted to use this as a threat to force Turner to help him find something.

It is the compass in Captain Jack's hand.

The compass has the magical power to point to where your heart desires. The compass needle will point you in the direction of whatever you desire most in your heart.

Turner was forced to make a deal with Lord Beckett and embark on a journey to find Captain Jack.

Lord Beckett wants Jack's compass in order to find a heart locked in the Dead Man's Chest.

That is the heart of Davy Jones, the most powerful ghost captain in the ocean. If he can obtain this heart, he can control Davy Jones and become the true master of the four seas.

The entire plot of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" revolves around Turner, Captain Jack and his crew searching for and seizing the heart, and facing the obstruction of Davy Jones.

The fantasy special effects in this movie are far superior to those in the first "Pirates of the Caribbean".

In the first film, there were mainly just some special effects showing the undead spirits of the crew members.

But in the second part, Disney began to use a lot of fantasy special effects, which would bring great visual impact to the audience.

The first thing to mention is Davy Jones, the strongest villain in this game.

According to legend, there is a ghost ship called the "Flying Dutchman" in the deep ocean, whose main responsibility is to lead the souls of those who died at sea to the underworld.

It can be said to be the European and American version of the Ferryman of the Dead, and Davy Jones is the captain of this ghost ship.

Because legend has it that anyone who sees Davy Jones will die, there is no record of his appearance, which worried Disney's art team.

In the end, Disney still referred to the image of Cthulhu and designed the appearance of Davy Jones based on an octopus.

In the movie, Davy Jones's face is covered with octopus tentacles, one hand is a crab claw, and the other hand is a tentacle. Such visual effects were enough to amaze audiences around the world in 2003.

In addition, this game also features the giant octopus, the Kraken, and the seafood crew under Davy Jones who were cursed and transformed into "shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

Therefore, in terms of visual effects, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is definitely an expression that transcends its time.

But it was more troublesome for Lin Yuan.

In the first movie, he fought against humans with a sword. Even the cursed crew of the Black Pearl were immortal, and their fighting power was still within the scope of humans.

But in the second movie, there is not only an army of seafood, Captain Cthulhu Davy Jones, but also the Kraken, a giant North Sea monster that can easily destroy a battleship.

As a result, Turner's combat effectiveness positioning becomes very awkward.

How should I deal with this?
Can Turner's fighting power be used to fight against these fantastical creatures?

Even if the protagonist's fighting power is enough to fight against the ghost crew, he can't use a sword to chop the Kraken, right?

The protagonist has no extraordinary powers, nor is it appropriate for him to have any.

Therefore, while the fight scenes in this film aren't dangerous, they require Lin Yuan to design them. He must use more convincing fighting moves to convince the audience and reinforce Turner's invincible character: even when facing monstrous enemies, Turner remains powerful and reliable.

"what!"

"what!"

"Oh!"

Just as Lin Yuan was thinking, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the window.

He soon understood: the wife rental agencies here in Thailand are very efficient. The crew members placed the order in the morning and the people were sent to the hotel in the evening.

That guy Meng Tao lives next door to him, and this is the sound they make when they are doing their work!

It’s not that the hotel’s soundproofing is bad, but Lin Yuan and Meng Tao both opened the windows of their rooms, so the sound came from outside the window.

Lin Yuan didn't want to say anything about his "degeneration" during this period.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

This is also a way for Meng Tao to balance his inner pain.

In any case, Meng Tao has helped him a lot in the past two years, and Lin Yuan can only support him as much as possible.

but!

It's too much for you to not close the window when doing things!

"what!"

"what!"

Suddenly, a similar sound was heard downstairs in Lin Yuan's building - Depp lived in that room.

Damn, these two guys are getting closer and closer, and their habits are becoming similar.

Lin Yuan walked to the window helplessly and said goodbye to the refreshing sea breeze of Phi Phi Island.

After closing the window, Lin Yuan sat back on his bed and fiddled with his gun.

He carefully wiped the gun in his hand, as if he was caressing his lover's skin.

His technique was up and down, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, as if he had years of experience.

What are you thinking?

It’s a real spear!
In front of Lin Yuan, there was a spear that had been disassembled into sections.

The gun head is definitely made of fine steel, but the gun barrel is partly made of fine ash wood and partly made of carbon fiber.

This is the weapon he specially customized for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

After all, the long sword is still too elegant.

If he still uses a long sword to fight the fantasy enemies in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", on the one hand, the visual effect will appear unconvincing, and on the other hand, it will cause aesthetic fatigue to the audience.

So Lin Yuan’s main weapon in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" will be a spear!

The spear, as the king of all weapons, is extremely powerful when used, and its momentum is far greater than that of the sword.

Lin Yuan believes that with his extraordinary marksmanship, he can bring a completely different and amazing experience to the audience in this movie.

He also believes that this stunning effect is not inferior to the special effects created by Disney with a lot of money.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door.
