Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 85 Lin Yuan’s Character

Johnny Depp wrapped in a blanket, shivering as he sat in front of an electric heater.

Although Florida is known as the North American province of Florida, it is still very different after all.

There are many east-west mountain ranges in the country that block the cold air from Siberia from moving south, so the winter temperature in the southern region is relatively not that cold.

North America is not so lucky, as it only has mountains running from north to south, which means that cold air from the poles can quickly push all the way to Florida in the southernmost part of the country.

The severe cold in North America during winter is much stronger than that in China.

It was already November when the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" began, and Florida was already quite warm compared to other places in North America.

But a cold wave had just hit, and the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees overnight. Falling into the icy sea in such weather would be enough to kill Johnny Depp.

"Damn it, he did it on purpose! He embarrassed me like this!" Johnny Depp cursed under his breath.

"Alright! Weren't you the one who initiated the provocation? I've always been against you doing this. If you want to target him in a scene, the right way is to crush him with your acting skills," said Director Verbinski.

"I can't swallow this. I'm going to teach him a lesson."

"You can fight better than Tyson?" Director Verbinski looked at him as if he was a madman.

"..."

Johnny Depp, who was blinded by anger, suddenly calmed down. The man in front of him was the big devil who kicked Tyson away with one kick and scared all the fighters in the United States to avoid him.

"So what if I'm a good fighter? This is not the Middle Ages. No matter how good my kung fu is, can it be more powerful than a gun?" Johnny Depp still replied stubbornly.

"I know you're just talking, but I hope you'll still prioritize filming a good scene. Hurry up and adjust your state of mind. You'll have a scene against Lin Yuan soon, so save your energy for then."

Director Verbinski patted him on the shoulder and stood up to make preparations.

Lin Yuan, who was not far away, looked at the two people talking and did not feel disgusted.

In fact, neither of them is bad at heart, but because of previous conflicts of interest, they have a preconceived hostile stance.

As long as I can intimidate them with my indisputable strength, even if I can't win them over, at least I can work together to make this movie.

Director Verbinski has his professional bottom line. No matter how much he resists it, he will make making a good movie his first goal.

Although he did this, perhaps it was just to do justice to the person who pushed him to this position.

Johnny Depp has been a "weird kid" since he was young, the third type of kid different from good kids and bad kids.

When he was young, he became famous for his handsome face and starred in the youth idol drama "22 Jump Street".

But he really disliked this film and television image that brought him fame and fortune, and resolutely cut off ties with it.

Later, he had his representative screen image "Edward Scissorhands", and then starred in a series of movies including "Sleepy Hollow", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Sweeney Todd", "Alice in Wonderland" and so on.

His images in these films are all weird, very personal and super charming.

Captain Jack Sparrow is a man of both good and evil, fond of scheming and plotting, yet kind-hearted at heart. He is eccentric, eccentric, uninhibited, and brave, making him the absolute soul of the film "Pirates of the Caribbean."

Depp and this role complement each other, so he also reaped the biggest benefits of the film.

After filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", his popularity soared and he truly entered the ranks of top Hollywood male stars.

Anne Hathaway plays Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of the Governor's family, but she is not at all spoiled. On the contrary, she is adventurous, full of wisdom, and has strong commanding abilities. In the end, she even becomes the Pirate King.

This character is also very charming. After Anne plays this role, her popularity will probably be greatly improved. However, Lin Yuan's Will Turner is very awkward. He is a very mediocre character. His main characteristics are: affection and bravery...

It is so unremarkable that in another time and space, Orlando Bloom did not get too much popularity from this role.

Mr. Eisen saw the problem at a glance, so he directly asked the screenwriter to revise the script.

In the new script, Will Turner's character retains his affection, with one more thing added: strength.

It's so strong that it's ridiculous and unbelievable.

The plot in the original script, which was defeated many times, was deleted and revised completely.

Whenever Will Turner appears on the scene, he will have an absolute advantage and crush his enemies.

Filming in this way not only highlights the character of Lin Yuan, after all, such a powerful character is naturally easy to gain high popularity, but also shapes Lin Yuan's screen image.

Director Eisen hopes that Lin Yuan will become an unprecedented kung fu superstar, so the most important point is what is your personality in the eyes of the audience?
For example, when people see Stephen Chow, they think of ordinary people, funny people, and nonsense.

For example, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's character is strong and powerful.

After Lin Yuan starred in several movies and gained a certain degree of initial fame, the most important next step was to establish his own personality.

Mr. Eisen's choice is: powerful.

He hopes that the roles Lin Yuan plays in the future will have a strong image.

In this way, when the audience sees Lin Yuan's face, they will naturally think of him as invincible.

In fact, a character like Lin Yuanli is more effective than the one on screen, because he is even stronger in real life than he is on screen.

He became famous after the duel in which he knocked Tyson unconscious with a kick.

Anyone who knows about this will naturally be convinced of Lin Yuan’s strength.

At this time, coupled with Lin Yuan's powerful role on the big screen and cross-promotion, Lin Yuan's character can soon be firmly implanted in the hearts of movie fans around the world.

Next, they had to shoot a fight scene where Will and Captain Jack met for the first time.

In the original script, the two were fighting back and forth, unable to separate.

At the end of the fight, Will was even subdued by Captain Jack's pistol, and only managed to catch Captain Jack with a sneak attack from his teammates.

Now the script has been changed to have Will crush Captain Jack and beat him the whole time.

After suffering a setback, Captain Jack persisted in dealing with Will in a funny way, but was ultimately defeated and captured.

In fact, such changes did not change the ending where Captain Jack was captured.

Modifying the fighting process does not weaken Captain Jack's charm, but instead highlights his fun.

It highlights the charm of both characters at the same time, which is a very smart win-win change.

Perhaps Johnny Depp has not yet realized the benefits of such a change, and instinctively thinks that his interests have been harmed by such a change, which is why there is today's conflict.

But no matter what he thought, the scene was about to start shooting.

Lin Yuan had already changed his clothes and came to the center of the shooting site with a sharp sword in his hand.
