Chapter 223: Stormy Waves
Such disturbances also made the Japanese feel a lot of pressure. However, they could still bear the pressure, so they kept resisting the mutual review of textbooks.
Just like what they said, as long as they are shameless in doing this kind of thing, there is really nothing we can do to them.
Liu Hongmin didn't think that he could get rid of the Japanese with one strike, he hadn't used his ultimate move yet!
He went to the Jinpeng Hotel every morning to supervise the Renjiao Society in reviewing the Japanese textbooks. He had lunch with Li Lizhen at noon, and locked himself in the study to write in the afternoon.
The story of the third "Pirates of the Caribbean" is mainly based on the plot of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 4".
In order to lift the curse of the Flying Dutchman, Captain Jack used the magic compass to find clues about the Fountain of Youth. But there were others looking for the Fountain of Youth, and they were very powerful opponents, the notorious and terrifying pirate "Blackbeard". At the same time, Captain Barbossa took advantage of the news that Spain was also looking for the Fountain of Youth, obtained the command of a fleet from the King of England, and also joined the journey to find the Fountain of Youth.
In the process of searching for the Fountain of Youth, Captain Jack met "Blackbeard" unexpectedly. "Blackbeard" used magic to sink the Black Pearl, and Captain Jack jumped off the ship with his crew and fled. At sea, he was separated from his crew. In order to continue searching for the Fountain of Youth, he went to a seaport and wanted to get a boat and recruit a few crew members. But when he heard Captain Jack recruiting crew members, Captain Jack was stunned. I just arrived!
Captain Jack fought with the fake Captain Jack, and it turned out that the fake Captain Jack was actually his old lover Angelica. Angelica attracted Captain Jack's attention, had someone sedate Captain Jack and took him to the Queen Anne's Revenge of "Blackbeard".
On the ship, Captain Jack hadn't seen Blackbeard for a week, so he instigated the sailors to rebel. Just when he was about to succeed, Blackbeard appeared. Blackbeard used magic to punish the crew and warned Captain Jack. Captain Jack had to pretend to be friendly with Blackbeard and got the reason why Blackbeard was looking for the fountain of youth from Angelica. It turned out that Blackbeard used magic to get a prophecy that he would be killed by a lame man in two weeks. It is rumored that the fountain of youth has the ability to change fate, so Blackbeard wants to use the fountain of youth to break the prophecy.
Captain Jack followed Blackbeard to Brownsea Island, captured the mermaid, and was forced by Blackbeard to look for the Holy Grail. As a result, he met Captain Barbossa. Just when the two were on the verge of a fight, they found that the Holy Grail had been taken away by the Spanish. The two went to steal the Holy Grail, but were caught by the Spanish and tied to a tree.
The two who loved and hated each other calmed down and talked heart to heart. When Captain Jack learned that Barbosa wanted to assassinate "Blackbeard", he immediately reached a cooperation with him. He climbed up the coconut tree and used ropes to make noise to distract the guards. Barbosa's men took the opportunity to rescue Barbosa, and then attacked the Spanish camp and seized the Holy Grail.
Captain Jack took the Holy Grail to Blackbeard and exchanged it for the magic compass. Then he gave the magic compass to the first mate and asked him to take back the Black Pearl.
Finally, they arrived at the location of the Fountain of Youth. Blackbeard mixed the holy spring with the tears of the mermaid and was about to drink it. Barbosa and the Spaniard appeared at the same time and attacked Blackbeard's men.
Blackbeard asked Angelica to lead the battle, and then he found a safe place to fight the Fountain of Youth. Captain Jack attacked from behind, but Blackbeard was prepared. Because he was holding the Holy Grail, he had no way to take out the magic sword. But he was so powerful that he could just pick up an ordinary long sword and suppress Captain Jack.
Barbossa had been hiding behind a rock not long after the fight began, keeping an eye on Blackbeard. Captain Jack saw where Barbossa was hiding and led Blackbeard there. Barbossa launched a surprise attack, stabbing Blackbeard with a sword coated with poison.
Captain Jack touched the Holy Grail and protected the Fountain of Youth inside. He said hello to Barbossa and immediately ran away. However, the Spaniard saw Captain Jack taking the Holy Grail and immediately chased after him. Everyone also chased after him.
Captain Jack fled all the way to the seaside, where the first mate was already waiting. Just as they were about to board the Black Pearl, Barbossa and Angelica caught up with them and helped them sail away. The Spaniards and Blackbeard's men soon caught up, and the three parties launched a naval battle. Just as the Black Pearl could not hold on, the Flying Dutchman emerged from the bottom of the sea and defeated the Spaniards and the Queen Anne's Revenge. Captain Jack gave the Fountain of Youth to Will Turner, who drank the Fountain of Youth, lifted the curse of the Flying Dutchman, and reunited with Elizabeth.
Liu Hongmin had already written this outline. Because the plot had changed a lot, Liu Hongmin gave it a lot of consideration.
It is said that pregnancy can make people stupid for three years. When Li Lizhen became pregnant, Liu Hongmin felt that he was also infected. Before writing "The Forgotten Catastrophe", he had no desire to create.
After finishing "The Forgotten Catastrophe", Liu Hongmin did not have much desire to create. However, in order to publish it, he had to force himself to create and write the third part of "Pirates of the Caribbean", "On Strange Tides".
"Turbulent Waves" has about 250,000 words, and Liu Hongmin finished writing it in less than a month.
After copying the manuscript, Liu Hongmin called Richard. Richard was very happy to hear that the manuscript was completed, "Mr. Liu, I will send someone to Beijing to sign the contract with you immediately."
Random House was very efficient, and someone flew from Hong Kong to Beijing the next day. After signing the contract, the other party immediately took the manuscript and flew directly to the United States.
Richard immediately arranged for a translator to translate the manuscript and then print it for sale as soon as possible.
The Pirates of the Caribbean series is already a world-famous bestseller, and it has quality assurance. The sooner it goes on sale, the sooner it can make money, so Random House naturally took it seriously.
The translation was done using the same translation that was used for the second part of Pirates of the Caribbean. They were very familiar with the process and were able to translate very quickly. In less than a month, the translation and printing were completed. Random House immediately shipped On Stranger Tides to all parts of the world, along with The Forgotten Catastrophe.
Thanks to the reputation of the first two films, "The Storm Riders" immediately set off a sales frenzy as soon as it was released.
The first two books were released at the end of the year, and readers thought the third book would be released at the end of the year as well, but it was actually released in September. This surprised readers, and they rushed to bookstores to buy it.
