Chapter 546: New Script, New Bait

It didn't take long for the convoy to enter the Hakone territory.

Hakone, about 90 kilometers from Tokyo, was once a lava-splattered crater hundreds of thousands of years ago, but today it is surrounded by green peaks and babbling streams. Due to volcanic activity, there are many hot springs in this area of Hakone, and Hakone has long been famous for its hot springs, including the famous "Hakone Shichiyu", which is one of the seven hot springs that are considered health resorts. Since the Middle Ages, dignitaries and dignitaries in this area have often come to Hakone for vacations. Today, it is one of Japan's hot spring resorts, and it is crowded with people during holidays.

Fang Mingyuan and Cameron also stopped talking between the two at this time, and shifted their attention to the beautiful scenery outside the window.

"Mr. Fang-kun, Mr. Cameron, we have now entered the territory of Kanagawa Prefecture, Hakone, refers to the collective name of Mt. Hakone and the surrounding area, which belongs to the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park in our country, and is famous for its hot springs and beautiful scenery, and is the first choice for leisure and hot springs on national holidays in our country." Seeing the end of the conversation between the two, Aso Kazuki also began to understand in time, "Hakone has an intoxicating beauty all year round, and in January, it is snow-capped; In April, cherry blossoms bloom here; In July, flowers bloom here; In November, the mountains are full of pampas and reeds, which makes people feel beautiful. ”

Fang Mingyuan and Cameron looked at the green peaks outside the window and the gurgling stream on the side of the highway, which was really pleasing to the eye.

"As early as the middle of the Meiji Emperor, the famous 'Hakone Shichiyu' was already famous all over the world, and there are seven famous hot springs: Yumoto, Tanosawawa, Dojima, Miyashita, Ikura, Ashinoyu, and Koga. And this time, we're going to Ashi-no-yu. However, Hakone later focused on the development of ten hot springs, which is why it is sometimes called 'Hakone Jujuyu'. Hakone is also known as 'Hakone Hachiri', which refers to the Hachiri Road from Odawara via Moto-Hakone to Mishima, and the scenery along the way is very beautiful, so you can enjoy the natural scenery there."

Aso Kazuki then began to introduce the various attractions in Hakone, including the cultural landscapes such as Hakone Shrine, Hakone Sekisho, Sakunon-ji Temple, and Moto-Hakone Stone Buddha Stone Pagodas, as well as natural landscapes such as cedar tree-lined avenues, Owakudani, and Lake Ashi, as well as many museums and parks such as Gora Park, Hakoneen Aquarium, Hakone Sculpture Forest Art Museum, Narukawa Museum of Art, Hakone Museum of Art, Hakone Glass Forest, Hakone Shrine Treasure Hall, and Onshi Hakone Park. Each has its own beauty.

"Fang, I think Miss Aso's tour guide is very competent," Cameron laughed as Aso Kazuki stopped to catch her breath. After a conversation with Fang Mingyuan just now, some cooperation outlines between the two have been basically determined, and Cameron can be said to be in a good mood.

"Isn't that overkill, I can't do without her in these foreign affairs now. James, don't talk nonsense about my military heart," Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Look, that's Lake Ashi" Mitsuri Uda suddenly pointed out the window, surprised.

The crowd looked in the direction she was pointing, and on the right side of the road, a lake with sparkling blue waves flashed, and there were boats on the lake.

"Lake Ashi is the core area of Hakone tourism. This is a volcanic lake formed by volcanic activity, with an area of about 7 square kilometers, and the deepest part of the lake is about 40 meters. Unfortunately, the weather is not very good today, otherwise we should be able to see Mount Kinabalu from here. It is the most famous scenery in Hakone, 'white fans hanging upside down in the East China Sea'." Aso Kazuki said with a sad face.

The sacred mountain in the Japanese population is Mt. Fuji, because the shape of Mt. Fuji resembles an upside-down white fan, and what Kazuki Aso said about "white fan hanging upside down in the sky of the East China Sea" refers to the sight of people seeing Mt. Fuji reflected in the pale blue lake with snow all year round. However, due to dark clouds and low visibility, visitors often do not see Mt. Fuji, so if you can see a clear view of the mountain, it is considered a great blessing for the Japanese.

"It's really beautiful, like a well-painted oil painting," Cameron exclaimed.

Fang Mingyuan turned his head to look at him, and thought: "Compared with landscape painting, oil painting, oil painting can have such an artistic conception?" However, he also understands that for Westerners, it is difficult to appreciate the charm of Chinese landscape painting, and talking to them about this is tantamount to playing the piano to a cow, so he is too lazy to say it.

"Tomorrow, we can go to the lake and hope to have good weather and see Mount Kinabalu." Aso Kazuki smiled, "There are a lot of pleasure boats here, and there are many ......."

"Look at that ship," Cameron suddenly exclaimed, "Doesn't it look like a pirate ship?" ”

Fang Mingyuan followed his gaze, and sure enough, he saw a Western pirate ship in the lake that was somewhat similar to the kind he saw in the movie.

"It's really a replica pirate ship, and their business is very good, and when there are many tourists, they want to take it to visit Lake Ashi, but they have to wait a long time." Mitsuri Uda interjected, "It's a pity that there are no props and costumes here, otherwise we will play as pirates, and it will definitely be very attractive to play on a boat." ”

Fang Mingyuan stretched out his hand and knocked on the door of her head and said, "It's very attractive, but when the time comes, it is estimated that we will have to leave the two of you to play by ourselves."

Everyone else couldn't help but laugh, like Cameron and Mitsuri Uda, who were in the spotlight of the Japanese right now, and if they were to discover their true identities, they wouldn't be able to get out.

"When I saw it, I couldn't help but think of the once famous Caribbean pirates," Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "driving a pirate ship on the boundless ocean, chasing those merchant ships." ”

Cameron also laughed, as an American, how could he not know the Pirates of the Caribbean who once ran rampant in Central America. Even in Disneyland, there are pirate ships.

"I think of a script I had conceived before, which was about pirates of the Caribbean," Fang Mingyuan said leisurely.

"Script" Cameron immediately pricked up his ears, Fang Mingyuan's talent in screenwriting, that is what he has to admit, although he doesn't think that Fang Mingyuan has surpassed himself in this area, but he also has to admit that he is not worse than himself.

"Yes, a ...... based on Pirates of the Caribbean Fantasy film. Fang Mingyuan originally wanted to talk about gods and ghosts, but it was more appropriate to think about magic.

"Fantasy?" Cameron pondered for a moment, wondering how much attention this genre would attract in the United States, if not all.

Fang Mingyuan looked at him with a smile, he wasn't worried at all about whether Cameron would take the bait. The reason why movies like the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series will cause such a big backlash in the whole shijie is because there are not many films of this type in the history of cinema. People are also very curious about the life of pirates in the Middle Ages.

Know that piracy is a criminal who specializes in robbing other ships at sea. This is a fairly old criminal industry, and piracy has a long history, so it can be said that there are ships and pirates. The earliest record of piracy is said to have appeared in 1350 BC, which is recorded on a clay inscription. In the Age of Discovery, due to the development of the maritime industry, piracy was also on the rise. Even in modern times, pirates continue to fight. In Malacca and Africa, piracy is rampant, causing headaches for the local navy.

And since ancient times, whether in Europe, Asia, Africa, or the Americas, there have been pirates, and there are some well-known figures. For example, the national hero of China, Zheng Chenggong's father Zheng Zhilong, was a great pirate who dominated one side at that time.

Another example, the Englishman William. Danbil, who wrote the New Circumnavigation of the Globe, drew a complete map of the South Pacific, and discovered present-day Australia, became an immortal figure in the history of marine meteorology with his book The Treatise on the Winds. And the prototype of the protagonist of the famous novel "Robinson Crusoe", a man named Alexander. The Scots of Serkirk were also discovered by him. He used to be a pirate captain.

Another example, Francis. Drake, the Englishman who climbed the highest peak in the history of Shijie pirates, completed his second circumnavigation of the world after Magellan, and his pirate fleet played an important role in the British defeat of the Spanish Armada. From then on, the former maritime hegemon reluctantly withdrew from the stage of history, and the British Navy gradually took its place and began the conquest of the "empire on which the sun never sets". Drake was also made Lord of England for this, and it is said that he had an affair with the Queen of England at the time.

For another example, Hyreddin, the overlord of the Mediterranean, who is familiar to anyone who has played "The Age of Discovery", is the later marshal of the Ottoman Empire and a hero admired by the Turks for generations. His career as a pirate will only add to his immortal fame.

Because of the fact that there are so many legendary characters, coupled with all the particularity and mystery of pirates themselves, pirates have become a legendary and even magical element in people's concepts.

The combination of these factors, combined with an excellent plot, brilliant performances, realistic scenes and refreshing special effects, made "Pirates of the Caribbean" an instant hit and became a cash cow for the studio

But...... Fang Mingyuan smiled in his heart, I am afraid that in this life, "Pirates of the Caribbean" will belong to Kumho Films, and it will also become a heavy stroke on Cameron's originally red and purple "credit book".
