Chapter 98: Not Simple Supporting Roles
"Walt Disney didn't say much. How we talked about it before is still the same now. Our cooperation with Walt Disney on [Pirates of the Caribbean] is very strong."
"And the [Pirates of the Caribbean] production team's preliminary preparations have gone very smoothly, and the roles of the villain and the second male lead have been determined." It's not like Jerry didn't know that Cao Yu was changing the subject.
But there is nothing he can do, who calls Cao Yu his boss?
"Oh, who are they?" After hearing that the first and second male characters were confirmed, Cao Yu was a little curious. After all, this would be his partner for the next period of time, and Cao Yu was also curious whether this character was still him in his previous life.
Those two people in my memory.
"On the other hand, Geoffrey Rush, the winner of the 69th Oscar in 1997, played Captain Barbossa. The second actor was Orlando Bloom, a newcomer who is about the same as you, but older than you.
How old are you?" Jerry obviously had enough information, and Cao Yu immediately explained as soon as he asked.
After hearing these two names mentioned by Jerry, Cao Yu's curiosity disappeared, because these two were the original cast members of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in Cao Yu's memory.
To Cao Yu, these two people could be regarded as strange and familiar.
And these two are extraordinary characters. Needless to say, Geoffrey Rush is an Oscar-winning actor who won an Oscar for Best Actor. He also received three Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actor.
.
You know, for most Hollywood stars, being nominated for the Oscar is already a victory.
As for whether you win or not, that depends on your personal luck and the current situation, and you can't force it.
And there is a statuette for the Oscar for Best Actor, plus Geoffrey Rush, who has been nominated for three Oscars for Best Supporting Actor.
In Cao Yu's opinion, his acting skills and strength are really beyond words.
And Geoffrey Rush's very good performance in "Pirates of the Caribbean" also proves Cao Yu's point of view. If there are any shortcomings of Geoffrey Rush, the current shortcoming is that he is not famous enough.
.
Of course, this lack of fame is in comparison with Cao Yu. After all, there are really not many people in Hollywood who are as famous as Cao Yu, with a global box office of 1.3 billion US dollars.
It's here.
For others, Geoffrey Rush is definitely not inferior in terms of fame.
The other male lead, Orlando Bloom, is even more telling. This Orlando Bloom is the elf prince in last year's "The Lord of the Rings".
With the blessing of "Lord of the Rings 1", Orlando Bloom is the only actor in the cast who can rival Cao Yu in terms of fame. Compared with the achievements of "Lord of the Rings 1" last year, it is obvious to all.
It's just that Orlando Bloom is not the protagonist in "The Lord of the Rings", so there is some discount.
But these discounts are all compensated by this guy's good looks. You must know that Orlando Bloom is in [Lord of the Rings 1], and he is responsible for his good looks.
Moreover, Orlando Bloom’s good looks have unique attributes. After all, in an epic fantasy masterpiece like [Lord of the Rings 1], whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, there are really all kinds of weird shapes and high-level characters.
Yes, short, fat, thin, there is no normal, inhuman, human-like, half-human, there is no real person.
Oh! No, there are some that look like humans, or even humans, but the roles are too small and can be ignored.
Therefore, if the other characters in [Lord of the Rings 1] are only considered based on their appearance, they can no longer be regarded as green leaves, but as shit.
In addition, Orlando Bloom is really good-looking and handsome. With this extremely sharp contrast, Orlando Bloom in [Lord of the Rings 1] is almost like a beautifier.
The special effects are the same, it stands out from the crowd, and it attracts fans very well.
And if Cao Yu and Orlando Bloom are really related, they have some origins.
Because if Cao Yu can be considered an unorthodox British actor, then Orlando Bloom is an orthodox British actor.
Born in the UK, raised in the UK, a genuine British actor.
Cao Yu's mentor, Roman, is a well-established boss in the UK. He has some relationship with Orlando Bloom, so Cao Yu and Orlando Bloom are also related.
And if we really want to compare the smoothness of his interpretation, even if Orlando Bloom is compared with Cao Yu, who is open and hanging on the wall, he is not far behind.
Cao Yu got the film contracts of "Spider-Man", "Death is Coming" and "Harry Potter" before he graduated.
Orlando Bloom joined the cast of "The Lord of the Rings" the day after graduation, and it was a trilogy with one signing! It makes no sense that the acting path is so smooth.
At the same time, Cao Yu actually expected these two to join [Pirates of the Caribbean].
Because Cao Yu has the memory of his previous life and knows the original cast of "Pirates of the Caribbean", although he has squeezed out Johnny Depp, if nothing else happens, there should be no changes in other characters.
And with Cao Yu starring in "Pirates of the Caribbean" at this time, for other actors in Hollywood, it is not a project that cannot be avoided.
This is the unspoken rule of Hollywood.
If a movie is successful, it means that in a movie with a male protagonist, the male protagonist and the director get the most benefits and gain the greatest fame; on the contrary, in a movie with a female protagonist, the female protagonist and the director get the most benefits.
, gained the greatest fame.
At the same time, if a movie fails, the lead actor will definitely not be able to run away.
Therefore, although the theme of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is not good, the investment is not small, and it is a big project endorsed by Walt Disney, one of the six major Hollywood companies (in fact, it should be the eight major Hollywood companies now, but United Artists is no longer good, and MGM will also have one this year)
I was deceived once by Bai Gewu, and it was only a few years away from being merged).
In addition, the main responsibility for "Pirates of the Caribbean" has now been taken over by Cao Yu and the director.
This supporting role in "Pirates of the Caribbean" has become a sweetheart.
After all, there is no need to take responsibility. There is no harm in failing. In other words, the harm is acceptable to some people. However, film contracts that can greatly increase exposure and fame are very popular.
Sometimes, if you have one more experience of participating in an A-level production on your resume, it will also be a bright spot for you to apply for other roles in the future.
