After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Page 268

This has also led to fierce competition for Marvel movies.

And this kind of competition has led to the occurrence of various unspoken rules.

This kind of thing is bound to happen, 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 movies chosen are 007 and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Among them, 007 is too much, and there is not much plot content. If an actor is hired, it can be regarded as a big supporting role. In addition, it has been ten years, and the protagonist at that time is almost out of date now.

The cost is actually not high.

But the main plot in the second half, Pirates of the Caribbean, the cost is high.

Asking Johnny Depp to do the supporting role, or playing his famous role as Captain Jack Sparrow, he couldn't agree to the low salary.

Even if he himself agreed, the brokerage company behind him couldn't possibly 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 hill, looking at the script in his hand, Johnny Depp fell into silence.

The broker on the side urged:

"Depp, you've been reading this script for a few days, and it's time to give Director Kevin a reply. He is Steve Kevin after all."

It's been three full days and no reply has been given. This is a relatively offensive thing.

Ordinary people can forget it.

This is Steve Kevin's new movie. Even if you don't want to act, you shouldn't be dragging your feet. I don't know what Depp thinks.

There were 1 thoughts in the agent's mind, but in the end it was not as straightforward as what he said.

After all, he relies on Depp for food, and Depp must be given priority in everything, otherwise, he may be replaced at any time.

Depp listened to the manager's words.

But I was thinking in my heart whether I should accept this very special play.

In the movie, playing Captain Jack Sparrow, it's really interesting.

It's still a familiar scene, but with interaction with other people.

The script is not so perfect, what Johnny Depp got is only a part of the script, but this is already extremely special.

Of course, the consideration of the script is still secondary.

The point is, should he ease the relationship with Steve Kevin on this matter.

If he was a little cautious when the first Pirates of the Caribbean was released, then later, with Steve Kevin's success step by step.

Johnny Depp put away all his little thoughts, and filmed the sequel of Pirates of the Caribbean with peace of mind according to the contract.

However, because of the previous small actions, Kevin was somewhat offended. Except for this project, he was never able to receive the film project of Chenxi Films again.

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 about it in his heart, Depp raised his head, looked at his manager and said;

"Call Chenxi Film Company and tell me that I agree, but I want to meet with director Kevin to discuss the film's salary."

After hearing these words, the agent was a little confused.

You must know that things like salary are generally left to the agent to discuss, so as to prevent the negotiation from falling apart.

cause discomfort to both parties.

Uncle Depp, where is this playing?

The manager's face was somewhat bitter, and he kept thinking about various possibilities in his heart.

Depp is not an idiot either. Looking at the manager's face, he knew what he was thinking.

Seeing this, he calmly explained:

"I'm going to reduce the pay, and just ease the relationship with Director Kevin, don't think too much."

As soon as these words came out, the manager 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, the time is tomorrow?"

"tomorrow!"

Depp nodded.

·····

The time flashed to ten o'clock in the morning of the next day.

Johnny Depp arrived at 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 with a signature smile on his face, he greeted Kevin familiarly.

"Hi Kevin, long time no see."

"really."

Kevin responded lightly, and then said directly:

"As long as you agree to participate in Unlimited, Chenxi Films is willing to give you a salary of 3000 million U.S. dollars."

If he starred in an ordinary commercial blockbuster, Depp would be worth $2000 million.

But only the Infinity series is different.

He wants to play Captain Jack Sparrow in the movie, and the plot will also involve the plot of Pirates of the Caribbean, so Kevin directly offered such a high price.

Certainly, Depp was worth the price when he took on the role of Captain Jack Sparrow.

Kevin has always done things fairly. Although the prices given are sometimes low, they are all part of the normal regulation of market prices and will not be too low.

Depp is worth the price, and Kevin will naturally give it.

"2000 million US dollars is enough, this is an ordinary commercial film, and I am only a supporting role, 3000 million US dollars is more."

Kevin's face was serious, he took a deep look at Johnny Depp, and then slowly smiled.

In any case, since Depp is willing to surrender his identity as a partner, he will still be a partner as Jack Sparrow.

At the same time, the salary will be lowered.

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.

Now that Depp has given this attitude, Kevin is not unable to accept Depp now.

After all, his relationship with Nicolas Cage is too good,

Kevin has to take care of this aspect more or less.

"Come to my house as a guest in a few days and call Cage."

Kevin calmly asked, and then changed his mouth, and chatted with Depp about the movie Infinity.

Chapter 392 The thing about "Infinity"

There was also a smile on Depp's face, and Kevin's attitude obviously meant to reconcile with him.

Of course, to say it was a reconciliation meant that they didn't really bother with him about what he did back then.

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 over together.

This is also arranged by Kevin.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's entry into the morning light movie should be somewhat expressive.

Of course, this is actually a matter of mutual benefit.

He was able to use Cruise as a superstar for a lower price, and Cruise was able to get his movie star.

Both parties are quite satisfied with the result.

···

"Depp, why are you here? You also participated in the new movie?"

As soon as Cruise walked in, he saw Depp.

Although they are not very familiar, they are all big stars in the circle, and their play paths don't quite overlap.

There is no conflict of interest between each other, and there is still a little friendship.

Depp nodded and greeted Cruise and Nicole Kidman respectively.

At the same time, his gaze quietly sized up the two of them.

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 is more exaggerated than this to play in exchange, several people play together, everywhere.

After all, the moral standards of Americans are much lower than those of mainland China.

Once this kind of thing breaks out in mainland China, the business will basically fail, so there are usually more one-on-one one-on-one, so that people in the circle will not know about it.

Everyone can only vaguely hear some wind.

Hollywood is different. Drug addicts and nieces are everywhere.

Even so, it will not shake their status in the circle, and it will have little impact on their careers.

That’s Harvey Weinstein, because he likes to be coercive, and at the same time promises afterwards, but he doesn’t keep them, he has offended too many female stars.

Under the targeting of someone with a heart, he was directly dismounted and thrown into prison.

To be honest, anyone with a discerning eye can see that someone is actually targeting Harvey Weinstein.

Of course, this is talking about the previous life, not the Harvey Weinstein that Kevin is getting into now.

Just those few female stars, if they want to get Harvey Weinstein in, they don't have the ability.

Miramax is not small.

Most likely which titan Harvey Weinstein offended.

Only then did he dig out these black materials of his, and contributed to the flames, and sent them directly to him.

For other matters that you like and I wish, as long as the person concerned does not jump out, the American people will eat melons at most and will not cause too much controversy.

After all, the freedom of Americans is to do whatever I want as long as I don't interfere with other people.

This kind of freedom has its advantages and disadvantages.

I don’t want to do more analysis. Anyway, as long as it’s what you like and what I want, this is their freedom, and the American people don’t make other expressions.

It can only be said that being a star in the United States is really cool, as long as you don't offend the capital, you can do whatever you want.

Will Smith, all kinds of self-explosions in the TV show, nothing happened.

If you change the continent, in a word, you will be banned immediately.

From a capital perspective, Kevin certainly likes the United States.

But from the point of view of ordinary people, this kind of star will 100% bring down many people.

It should be blocked.

After looking at it, Depp didn't say anything about this kind of thing, just pretend he didn't know.

His own private life is also quite messy, not to mention the elder brother.

He just didn't touch other people's wives. .
