Ace Hollywood

When considering the candidate for Captain Jack, Michael Keaton, Christopher Walken, and Jim Carrey have all entered Jerry's head, but Will Turner has basically not been carefully considered by Jerry, and now Come to think of it, it seems like from the beginning, Jerry subconsciously wanted Daniel to play Will Turner.

According to the character design, Will is tall and handsome, with superb swordsmanship, and has a relationship with Elizabeth. From many aspects, Daniel is the most suitable candidate.

Now several times throughout Hollywood, no one like Will is more suitable than Daniel.

Commonly known as "male vase".

Of course, this does not mean that Daniel's acting skills are not enough. No one can say that he is a double winner of the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar. In addition, Daniel, who is blessed with a large number of Sentinel Awards, is a person who can't act, but relatively speaking, he has super power. High popularity, especially among the young people with the biggest consumption impulse, there is almost no rival. In addition, Daniel's face and figure are too outstanding. Leonardo finished filming "Titanic" because of his length. The appearance of a little white face makes me annoyed. Recently, the direction of reading the script is going in the direction of the neuropathy and Uncle Rough.

Popularity and appearance, if these two points are used in the position of the vase, they are the candidates that any film producer would like to have.

This is Jerry's consideration as a producer.

And Gore Verbinski simply thought that Daniel was not very suitable for the role of Captain Jack, but it was difficult for him to talk about it. If he blocks Daniel with an old-fashioned attitude, it will break the Hollywood rules of favor - of course, you can not sell favors, but first of all you have to accept that others are selling favors, which is called arrogance. But just eating and not pulling is not what you should do.

But Gore still spoke up.

The reason is not difficult to understand, the film means a lot to Gore.

In terms of investment, technical direction, and the experimental significance of the film, if Gore can win this film, stand in Hollywood, and even become a generation of great directors is not impossible.

Under this premise, even if Gore is not very good at playing tricks, he knows how to choose.

After all, this protagonist is really too heavy.

And Daniel's roles in the past, on-line and off-line, were far from the Captain Jack he hoped for. Billy Bob is not going to say, Commodius, Emmett, Legolas, Jason Bourne, and the recent new plays, really don't have the kind of temperament he wants.

In fact, he was not very satisfied with the several candidates proposed by Jerry.

There is only one person he is satisfied with.

Johnny Depp!

Starting from "Edward Scissorhands", Johnny's acting style is most closely related to the mystery, mystery, absurdity and humor he hopes.

And Will Turner is completely different. First, this role is not important. As an Oscar winner, Daniel has no pressure to play. Second, he is just like Jerry. Will's role really seems to be for Tailor made by Daniel. He could imagine how pleasing it would be for him to have a temperament like Commodius's disguise as a medieval blacksmith, when he was flirting with swords and swords.

Now it seems that as long as Daniel agrees to play Will Turner, and then Gore persuades Jerry to bring in Johnny Depp and find a female vase, the result will be the optimal configuration.

But that's the problem.

Is it possible to ask Daniel to play Will?

The biggest difficulty is that Daniel wants to participate in this movie so solemnly, and it is impossible to watch Will. It is a good thing for the movie to make money, but it is the investors, producers, distributors and even the director and the academy. The good thing about the line has nothing to do with a supporting role who is not very heavy. Unless Will can be like Legolas in The Lord of the Rings - now I don't know how many people want to play Legolas themselves. But is it possible? impossible! So it's too hard for Daniel to accept this role from the perspective of the producer and director rather than his own.

The second point, even if Daniel is willing to accept, at Daniel's price, he is playing such an unsatisfactory role, and he can't beat 12 million. As for the split, the possibility needs to be considered. Of course, in the face of a behemoth like Disney, Daniel's request may not be met.

But even the $12 million in fixed pay was way more than they budgeted for the actor who played Will.

The budget cap is only 3 million!

The heroine is more flexible, depending on the celebrity, but it will not exceed 3 million - they will not hire Cameron Diaz or Drew Barrymore-level actors.

Even Captain Jack's salary cap is only 10 million. And if they give out a sharing contract, the basic salary will be further reduced. According to Disney's idea, Captain Jack definitely needs to hire an A coffee, so they have prepared a sharing contract, which is also the way they tend to choose. It is their hope to share some risks. After all, this is not a project destined to make money. It is always good to be able to pull a few more into the water. The actors of Will and Elizabeth, by design, are not eligible to enjoy the share.

Of course, if Daniel really wanted to, he wouldn't have to talk about it at all. With Daniel's popularity and appeal today, he is already an actor who is qualified to talk about sharing.

The last possibility, of course, is to put Daniel aside. If it is expensive and inappropriate, why must it be used?

But things are not so simple.

On the one hand, Robert Iger, the new Disney CEO, has some connection with Daniel and is quite convinced of Daniel's appeal.

Even if he asked for a little psychological comfort, the two works "Legal Blonde" and "The Lord of the Rings" could give him a stable mood.

As the most influential Disney helmsman, Robert's opinion is very important - this is based on Robert's image recognition of Captain Jack, perhaps because he is used to animated movies, and for the one that Gore advocates, Robert Not very cold, although as the CEO of Disney, it is inappropriate to directly intervene, but "Pirates of the Caribbean" is unusual after all.

That's the problem, Gore couldn't convince Robert to let go.

And Robert is on the one hand, Jerry Bruckheimer on the other.

His words were thrown out as early as a year ago, and while they were still talking about "Black Hawk Down", Daniel sold him a lot of face and did not join Ridley Scott's invitation to join the fray, and It was Josh who handed over the role to Jerry's favored Josh. Later, he said that he had a book about pirates in his hand and hoped to invite Daniel. Daniel agreed without even reading the script.

Then now, when Daniel had a clear attitude, Jerry said to him: No, now I don't want you to play.

Even for a gold-medal producer like Jerry, if he wants to do such a thing, he has to wait for someone to laugh at him, and at the same time, he has to bear the preparations for a complete confrontation with Daniel—he is not afraid, but why? Why turn against a superstar with a promising future? This is a circle of harmony and wealth. Even if the flesh and blood behind the back is blurred, it is still hello and me in front of people. Not to mention, today, Daniel and Jerry still have a real friendship.

Daniel wrapped the three decision-makers with the human network he weaved over the past year, just for the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", which can be said to be well-intentioned. But in order to determine Ding's status in the next five to ten years, Daniel had to do this.

……

The news of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trio's discussions soon reached Daniel's ears.

The person who passed the message was someone who no one could have imagined.

Robert Iger!

Michael Eisner was very tough, so the board put the moderate Robert to the position of CEO, but what they didn't understand is that whether a person is tough or not is not only related to personality but also position. Under the circumstances, he had to be gentle, but now it is different, he is already the supreme commander in charge of this aircraft carrier. A five-year term, unless there is a major mistake, the board of directors cannot remove him, which has a significant impact on the stock price. So Robert no longer needs to cover up his true character.

He is equally arbitrary.

He thinks Daniel is suitable for Captain Jack, why not? Jack is a positive character and a lovable character. Why is it inappropriate to find an A-list superstar with excellent acting skills, incomparably handsome, high popularity and amazing appeal? Why is it inappropriate?

This is what Robert had in mind.

As for what Gore described, in his opinion, it was a bit grandstanding, although under Jerry's coordination, he tolerated it. After all, he was not a professional, and Gore was the director. But when Daniel stood in front of him, Robert's forbearance seemed unnecessary.

With a very suitable candidate like Daniel to support Robert's existing imagination of the protagonist of the story, why did he have to go so thrilling? Make the protagonist a non-mainstream character.

During the discussion, Robert also saw that Daniel had a good relationship with Jerry and Gore. Otherwise, with Jerry's toughness, it would be impossible not to support the director he chose. Besides, he himself would not recommend choosing Daniel.

So Robert called Daniel.

Not many people know about Daniel's personal phone number, but people like Robert and Schneider definitely know it.

"Gore." Daniel read out the name. He prepared a lot and even made friends with Gore before he made a fortune. This is calculating Gore, but to be honest, apart from what he thinks in his heart, other aspects and the real There is no difference in making friends. When filming "Midnight Bell", Daniel also gave his thoughts without reservation. Usually, the two families come and go, and naturally, they get along with each other.

But Gore actually really wanted to cut off his hope of starring.

As for Jerry, Daniel knows that Jerry will eventually choose his own. He is not only in the film "Pirates of the Caribbean", but also has more opportunities for cooperation in the future. Besides, Daniel already has a production company under his command and has invested in two films. , the possibility of cooperation is even greater.

So, in fact, Daniel doesn't need to do much, just wait for Jerry to decide, and then Gore gives in.

Is it that easy?

Daniel assured that Johnny Depp has gotten the news at this time. Even if he didn't like such an opportunity before, but now that Daniel is involved, Daniel believes that Depp will change his mind.

How many years has Depp been in the circle, his connections are not comparable to Daniel's. Whether Daniel's first mover can withstand Depp's attack is unknown.

……

As Daniel expected.

Jerry and Robert's attitude made Gore worried that Daniel would finally win the role~www.novelmt.com~ It was a short process from hesitation to firmness, Gore was indeed determined to stop Daniel, so he handed the message to Johnny Depp and Tracy Jacobs.

This movie is not necessarily indispensable to Daniel, but it is extremely important to him, which is what Gore thought.

Depp has recently been living in New York, and after what happened last September, he returned to Los Angeles to live until Christmas, and then back to New York, with work in between, of course.

When we got the news, Tracy and he hesitated a little.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" doesn't look so attractive to them, either in terms of sales or pay. The problem, though, is that Daniel is aggressively fighting for the role.

Is there still a gap between Daniel and Johnny Depp today? The difference only exists in age.

He has even surpassed Depp in pay, an A-list actor whose commercial value has not been proven. In terms of awards, too, Daniel already has an Oscar in his hands, although only a supporting role, but Depp has nothing.

So why can't Depp like movies that Daniel likes?

This is Tracy and Depp's naive thinking, and while it's a bit of a shame, it's practical and practical to think about.

Therefore, basically Depp did not hesitate for a long time and decided to go for this movie.
