After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood - Chapter 268
This has also led to fierce competition from Marvel movies.
And this kind of competition has led to the occurrence of various unspoken rules.
This kind of thing is bound to appear, and Kevin didn’t intend to stop it, and he couldn’t stop it.
As long as the person you choose has no major problems and fits the character’s character traits, that’s enough.
The outside world is promoting Marvel and Spider-Man 2 in various ways, and Kevin is busy with his own infinite universe series.
The script has been finalized and the films chosen are 007 and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Among them, 007 is too much, and there is not much plot content. If you hire an actor, it is a big supporting role. In addition, it has been ten years, and the protagonist at that time is almost out of breath now.
The cost is actually not high.
But the main plot in the second half, Pirates of the Caribbean, is expensive.
If Johnny Depp is to be the partner, or to play his famous character Captain Jack Sparrow, he can’t agree to the low salary.
Even if he himself agreed, the brokerage company behind him could not agree.
But Kevin has already sent an invitation to Johnny Depp, and now he is waiting for his reply.
Beverly Hills, in a manor on the top of the mountain, watching the script in his hand, Johnny Depp fell into silence.
The agent on the side urged:
“Depp, you have taken this script and read it for a few days. It’s time to give Director Kevin a reply. He is Steve Kevin after all.”
For three full days, no reply has been given yet, which is something that offends people.
Ordinary people don’t care.
This is Steve Kevin’s new movie. Even if you don’t want to play it, it shouldn’t be sloppy, and I don’t know what Depp thinks.
Ten thousand thoughts passed through the agent’s mind, but in the end it was not as straightforward as he said.
After all, he is relying on Depp to eat, and Depp must be the priority in everything, otherwise, he may be replaced at any time.
Depp listened to the agent’s words.
I was thinking in my heart whether to accept this very special drama.
It’s really interesting to play Captain Jack Sparrow in a movie.
Still familiar scenes, but interacting with other people.
The script is not so perfect. What Johnny Depp got is only a part of the script, but that’s what makes it very special.
Of course, the consideration of the script is still second.
The point is whether he wants to reconcile with Steve Kevin over this matter.
If he was still a little careful when the first Pirates of the Caribbean was released, then followed by Steve Kevin’s step-by-step success.
Johnny Depp put away all his careful thoughts and filmed the sequel of Pirates of the Caribbean in accordance with the contract.
However, because of the previous little actions, he somewhat offended Kevin, and in addition to this project, he never received the film project of Chenxi Films.
This is obviously not a good thing for an actor who wants to develop in Hollywood.
It’s a pity that he has not been able to find a suitable opportunity to ease the relationship between the two. Now that he finally got this invitation, he is thinking about how to use this opportunity to ease the relationship with Kevin.
After thinking for a while in his heart, Depp raised his head and looked at the agent and said;
“Call Chenxi Film Company and say I agree, but I want to meet with Director Kevin to discuss the film remuneration.”
After hearing this, the agent was a little confused.
You must know that things like remuneration are generally negotiated by the agent to prevent the negotiation from breaking down.
cause unhappiness on both sides.
Mr. Depp, where is this game?
The agent’s face was somewhat bitter, and he kept thinking about various possibilities in his heart.
Depp is not a fool either, looking at his agent’s face, he knows what he is thinking.
Seeing this, he calmly explained:
“I’m going to lower my salary and ease the relationship with Director Kevin by the way. Don’t think too much about it.”
As soon as these words came out, the broker was relieved.
His face turned happy, as if Depp had finally made the most important choice in his life.
“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away, about tomorrow?”
“tomorrow!”
Depp nodded.
・・・
Time flies to ten o’clock in the morning the next day.
Johnny Depp came to Kevin’s office on time.
As soon as he entered the door, Depp saw Kevin writing something on a piece of paper. He was not very curious, but just had a trademark smile on his face and greeted Kevin familiarly.
“Hi Kevin, long time no see.”
“really.”
Kevin responded lightly, and then said directly:
“As long as you promise to participate in unlimited roles, Chenxi Film is willing to give you 30 million US dollars in remuneration.”
If it were an ordinary commercial blockbuster, Depp would be worth 20 million dollars.
But only the infinite series is different.
He is going to play Captain Jack Sparrow in the movie, and the plot will also involve the plot of the Pirates of the Caribbean, so Kevin directly offered such a high price.
Of course, when Depp was cast in the role of Captain Jack Sparrow, he was worth the price.
Kevin has always been fair in his work. Although the price he sometimes gives is low, it is also a normal regulation of the market price, and it will not be too low.
Depp is worth the price, and Kevin will give it naturally.
“Twenty million dollars is enough. This is an ordinary commercial film, and I’m just a supporting role. It’s more than thirty million dollars.”
Kevin’s face was serious, and he took a deep look at Johnny Depp before slowly showing a smile.
In any case, since Depp is willing to surrender his identity to be the match, he is still the match as Jack Sparrow.
At the same time, the salary will be reduced.
Kevin still has to accept this favor.
Of course, this kind of human relationship does not need to be so clear verbally, everyone knows it well.
Since Depp gave this attitude, Kevin is not unable to accept Depp now.
After all, he has a great relationship with Nicolas Cage,
Kevin has to take care of this aspect to some extent.
“Visit at my house in a few days and call on Cage.”
Kevin gave a calm command, and then he turned his mouth and chatted with Depp about the movie Infinite.
Chapter 392 Something about “Infinite”
Depp also had a smile on his face, and Kevin’s attitude was obviously intended to reconcile with him.
Of course, to say it was a reconciliation, in fact, it means that he doesn’t care much about what he did in the first place.
After such a long time, in fact, Kevin didn’t take things to heart at all, because he thought too much.
Chatting and chatting, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman came together.
This is also arranged by Kevin.
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are coming into the Dawn movie, with a bit of a show.
Of course, this is actually a matter of mutual benefit.
He could use Cruise for a lower price, and Cruise would get his film.
Both parties are satisfied with the result.
“Depp, why are you here too? You are also involved in the new movie?”
As soon as Cruise entered the door, he saw Depp.
Although not very familiar, but they are all big stars in the circle, and the play paths do not overlap very much.
There is no conflict of interest between them, and there is still some friendship.
Depp nodded and said hello to Cruise and Nicole Kidman respectively.
At the same time, his eyes scrutinized the two of them quietly.
The situation of Nicole Kidman and Kevin is not a secret, and many people know about it, but in this circle, there are too many similar things.
This is actually not rare.
It’s more exaggerated than this, playing with a few people, everywhere.
After all, the moral standards of Americans are much lower than those of the mainland.
Once this kind of thing breaks out in mainland China, the career is basically ruined, so it is usually more one-on-one, and people in the circle who are not going to make trouble know it.
Everyone can only vaguely hear some wind noises.
Hollywood is different, drug addicts and nieces are everywhere.
Even so, they can’t shake their status in the circle, and they have little impact on their careers.
It is also Harvey Weinstein, because he likes to be forced, and at the same time, he does not fulfill his promise after the fact, and offends too many female stars.
Under the targeting of people with a heart, he was directly dismounted and put into prison.
To be honest, anyone with a discerning eye can see that someone is actually targeting Harvey Weinstein.
Of course, I’m talking about a past life here, not the Harvey Weinstein that Kevin got into now.
Just those few female stars who wanted to get Harvey Weinstein in, but didn’t have the ability.
Miramax is not small.
Most likely, which giant Harvey Weinstein has offended.
Only then did he dug out these black materials, and after adding fuel to the flames, they were sent directly to him.
For other things that you like and I wish, as long as the parties do not jump out, the American people will eat melons at most, and will not cause too much controversy.
After all, American freedom is to do whatever I want as long as I don’t interfere with other people.
This freedom is both good and bad.
I don’t do much analysis, anyway, as long as it is your own will, this is their freedom, and the American people don’t make other statements.
I can only say that it is really cool to be a star in the United States. As long as you don’t offend the capital, you can do whatever you want.
Will Smith, all kinds of self-destruction on TV shows, nothing happened.
If you change the continent, in one sentence, you will be banned immediately.
From a capital point of view, Kevin certainly likes the United States.
But if it is from the perspective of ordinary people, this kind of star will 100% bring down many people.
The ban.
After looking at it, Depp didn’t say anything about this kind of thing, just pretend he doesn’t know.
His own private life is also quite chaotic, the eldest brother does not talk about the second brother.
He just didn’t touch other people’s wives. .
