Chapter 305 Fool another one and slap the third one(1/2)
“This is a big project!”
"I can't get any manpower, so I need someone to help me!"
"I've seen all over Hollywood and thought that only you can help me, so I'm here."
"What I said is true, Leonardo can testify for me, so what do you think?"
After Leonardo led Cao Yu to Johnny Depp's house, he saw Cao Yu repeating the line he had persuaded him before and recounted it with Johnny Depp in a very "graceful and generous manner".
And since it was the second time, Cao Yu made more progress in grasping rhythm and emotions, and the effect was more touching.
only……
But when Leonardo heard Cao Yu's words, I read all over Hollywood and felt that only you could help me, and he became a little Spartan.
You just don’t want to use your brain. In other words, there must be a limit!
Damn, I'm still here!
Leonardo was very upset. He felt that he had been tricked by Cao Yu, so after he took Cao Yu to Johnny Depp's house, he turned into a human-shaped decoration that was silent.
After listening to Cao Yu's story, Johnny Depp felt a little moved.
There is no way, Cao Yu is currently in a big spotlight.
Mr. Baiyi, the king of Hollywood, has never failed to debut... and so on, and has almost lifted Cao Yu to the altar in the circle.
At this time, such a person who was almost on the altar came to his home in person and sent him a very sincere invitation.
Johnny Depp didn't know that what he heard was no longer a soup, but a second-hand product.
However, as long as the person involved does not know that this is a second-hand product, as long as the effect is good, the final result is no different from the first soup.
It would even be better, after all, practice makes perfect!
So Johnny Depp was very moved.
"Am I really okay?" Johnny Depp showed a look opposite to his confident and evil character on the screen under Cao Yu's expectant gaze.
Faced with Johnny Depp's unconfident questioning, or asking himself.
Cao Yu was not surprised.
Because he knew that Johnny Depp was different from Little Plum.
Although Johnny Depp is also very good-looking (it is hard to survive in Hollywood than ugly), it is a bit worse than Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Li
Moreover, in terms of resume, he is much different from Li Zi.
Even if Little Little Zi deleted his most brilliant resume [Titanic], he could beat Johnny Depp with the rest of his resume alone.
There is no way, Johnny Depp's evil performance style is a niche performance style without suitable roles to release its charm.
The word niche often represents weakness in the film and television industry, and the attribute of weakness represents lack of opportunities in the film and television industry.
Originally, Johnny Depp should have shined in [Pirates of the Caribbean].
But unfortunately, [Pirates of the Caribbean] was intercepted by Cao Yu as the best stepping stone on the road to growth.
So at this time, Johnny Depp had no representative work, and the performance style was relatively niche.
In addition, his personality is a bit weird due to his displaced childhood.
So Johnny Depp has been doing very unsatisfied over the years.
It is normal to suddenly receive an olive branch from a Hollywood top figure like Cao Yu, which is a bit unconfident and suspicious.
"Believe in my eyes, you think it's OK." Facing Johnny Depp's self-doubted words, Cao Yu said to Johnny Depp with confidence than he originally did.
There is no way, only Cao Yu, who has brought back the evil performance style of Johnny Depp, knows what kind of energy does this man contain in his evil performance style.
It is an unparalleled force. If it is converted into combat power, it is probably a force value that can be obtained by thousands of troops.
Cao Yu had already thought about it and arranged for Little Lizi to be a prince of the Western Regions in the [King Ke] movie universe, and was responsible for using his acting skills, fame and appearance to establish the role.
In the [King of the Knights] movie universe, arrange an identity like a bandit leader in the Western Regions. The specific style is just that it is both good and evil.
"Then...then I'll thank Mr. Cao for his support." Although Johnny Depp's personality is a bit weird, any weird personality will become smooth after being punched and kicked by society.
So after thinking about it, there are only benefits and no harm, Johnny Depp agreed.
"Then you have a happy cooperation!" Cao Yu stretched out his hand and shook with Johnny Depp.
After getting Johnny Depp, Cao Yu was happy inside.
Even happier than getting Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Li
There is no way, the main value of Little Lizi is in her fame. Of course, Little Lizi's strength is also not weak.
But compared with Johnny Depp, who can be crowned as king, it is a bit worse.
(This is true. Although Little Little Little Little is also very strong, Johnny Depp took over the title of King of Hollywood from Will Smith in the [Pirates of the Caribbean] series, and wore this title from 2003 to 2010, and then handed it over to Robert Downey Jr.)
"What kind of role am I going to play?"
When Cao Yu was not happy for long, Johnny Depp was very surprised and led the topic to a place that Cao Yu didn't want to talk about - the script.
Because Cao Yu has no script at all! The script is still being created!
“Uh~”
Cao Yu was a little embarrassed.
However, Cao Yu couldn't blame Johnny Depp, because Hollywood superstars took on roles, but they were different from domestic traffic stars.
I don’t memorize the lines of the script, and when I go to the set, I just have a stern face and count there. Some people even don’t even get to the scene and just cut the pictures.
Hollywood superstars are more like masters with a craftsman spirit when filming. They need to think about the role and actually experience the role life.
The purpose is to make the character more realistic and vivid - some superstars even go to the second hospital to play mental illness well, stay well for a while, and experience the wonderful ideas of their patients.
"The script is still being revised for the time being, and it is useless to watch it now, but Johnny Depp, do you know Chinese?" Sometimes the solution to the problem is not just to directly solve the problem. There is another method called asking for another problem.
Faced with Cao Yu's question that was irrelevant, Johnny Depp shook his head.
Chinese?
Who is going to learn Chinese these days? Are you having nothing to do when you are idle? It’s not very useful. At this time, the words are indeed like this. After all, although the national strength of China is recovering at this time, it is still unknown.
"Then you have to learn it, because the background of this project was in ancient China. In terms of type, it is a more realistic martial arts movie. When shooting, it was also filmed in China, and the staff were all Chinese. So you'd better learn Chinese to facilitate subsequent shooting.
I suggest that when you are learning Chinese, you can also find some martial arts novels. I suggest that you go and see Huang Yi’s [The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty], and pay attention to the character called the Evil King Shi Zhixuan. That character is somewhat similar to the character you play in the movie.”
Cao Yu dragged it out and said a lot of instructions. At this time, Johnny Depp had forgotten about the script.
Instead, he looked at Cao Yu with a daze, and couldn't help but think: Is this the way to success? He also has to learn a language when acting in a movie, and does not give a script, but a novel to read it for himself. Is this the realm of the king of Hollywood?
Johnny Depp was a little confused, and Li Zi, who had been acting as a decoration, was also a little confused after hearing Cao Yu's instructions on Johnny Depp.
Because Leonardo knew that he would have to do what Johnny Depp had to do.
But learning a foreign language, especially learning a Chinese language that has the most difficult language to learn in the world, is really something that makes Leonardo thinks about it.
"Do I want to learn too?" Leonardo asked in a low voice.
Cao Yu glanced at Leonardo with a squint, "What do you think?"
Although it was the tone of a question, Leonardo heard the meaning of the affirmative sentence from it.
Then Cao Yu chatted with Johnny Depp and Little Little after a while, and left alone.
I didn't talk to Johnny Depp about the pay. After all, if Little Li was not very talented, I would have used it as a bargaining chip at the beginning to talk to Cao Yu.
Cao Yu himself felt that he would not propose it for negotiation. After all, Cao Yu is not a negotiating expert, so it is easy to suffer losses when negotiating with others.
After leaving Johnny Depp's house, Cao Yu called Wen Ziren directly.
This family has been busy with his art films recently and is very motivated.
Before that, Cao Yu might just let him do it.
However, when Leonardo and Johnny Depp asked questions about the script continuously, and almost exposed it, Cao Yu felt that he was holding on.
Hurry up and improve other scripts of the [Xiake] movie universe.
Otherwise, there will be easy mistakes!
Cao Yu directly called Wen Ziren, and did not talk nonsense to Wen Ziren, and went directly to the topic.
"Zi Ren, the company has some recent projects but has staff, so you need to come back to help. After this time, aren't you going to make an art film in the next movie? The company gives you an investment of 30 million US dollars, what do you think?"
Without twists and turns, you just use money to smash people.
"Really? I'm back now. Boss, I'm going to devote myself to you until I die!" Wen Ziren on the other side of the phone was very excited.
Because art films have two hardships.
One is artistic. After all, art cannot be taken casually. One lens needs to be thought about each lens, and each lens must be meticulously crafted and full of connotation.
The other is investment. After all, everyone knows that art films are not easy to make money, or they basically lose money.
Therefore, basically no one is willing to invest in art films.
Wouldn't it be nice to have free money and make two commercial movies and make two free money to play with?
