After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

Chapter 40:

Having said this, Cage took another distressed look at the wine that Kevin had casually placed beside him. It was the highest-grade wine he had imported from France.

A bottle can cost thousands of dollars.

Don’t think this price is cheap, except for those luxury goods and things that are deliberately hyped.

Wine itself is actually a very cheap and common wine in France.

A bottle of 10,000 dollars is already high-end in high-end.

Even Cage himself, drinking is a fine product of a small cup, and he is reluctant to waste it.

Like Kevin, the cow chews peony and drinks it in big gulps, just like drinking a drink.

The distressed Cage put away the remaining wine, took out a bottle of ice Coke from the refrigerator and handed it to Kevin.

Kevin was so cheap, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then opened the ice Coke and took a sip.

Even on a cold day in December, in the villa, Kevin still likes Ice Coke.

As for the wine, he couldn’t tell whether it was good or bad, but he liked to see Cage’s pain, but he didn’t want to show it in front of him.

As for Cage seeing that he wasn’t all that sincere about casting him as Captain Jack Sparrow, Kevin isn’t surprised.

The image of the two is too different from the previous roles.

Although Cage is willing to challenge unfamiliar roles, but that is also in literary films.

Running into a commercial film, no matter how popular it is, he will miss the award.

This is not in line with Cage’s play style.

It’s impossible for Kevin not to know this, but he’s still coming.

Then there must be other purposes.

Cage stared at Kevin with bright eyes, looking at what he was selling.

“Comfortable!”

The gas bloomed in the mouth, bringing a strong impact, making Kevin feel what it is like to be cool.

Putting down the Coke, Kevin said with satisfaction:

“Do you know an actor named Johnny Depp?”

A trace of complicated emotions flashed on Cage’s face, saying:

“How did you know I knew him.”

Kevin hit haha.

“I heard it by accident.”

“What, do you really know?”

Cage nodded, and said as if he was thinking while recalling:

“His ex-wife, a top makeup artist in Hollywood, has worked with me many times.”

“Because she didn’t want to live an ordinary life with Depp, she chose to divorce. She felt guilty that she asked me to help Depp in order to make up for her debt to Depp.”

“As for Depp…”

“I have to say, he is a genius in acting, a genius actor, you know?”

“He’s the kind of person who can give a character a unique charm.”

“He’s still a jerk, though.”

The complex emotions on Cage’s face.

That guy Depp actually stole his money and went to the bar casually, because he saw that Depp had no place to live, and he let Depp live for free on his own property.

“Then, can you help me contact him?”

Kevin couldn’t help asking.

Cage nodded.

Kevin is looking for him, it must be for the role, although Depp is a jerk, but this does not conflict with him being a good actor.

He is also very happy that Depp can get such a good role.

Agreeing to Kevin’s words, Cage didn’t waste any time, just picked up the phone and called Depp, the **** in his eyes.

After a loving scolding, Kevin vaguely heard the news that Depp was rushing here immediately.

The happy Kevin also showed his skills, took out some meat from the refrigerator, and had a barbecue party with Cage outside, waiting for Depp to arrive.

Like Cage, Kevin is not used to the temperament of strangers at home. Therefore, there is no nanny, chef and bodyguard at home.

Kevin’s approach is to let the bodyguard rent a room in an ordinary house below Beverly Hills, and when he needs it, he will call the bodyguard and driver to come over.

Cage does the same thing.

……

On the other hand, Zack Snyder also received news from Dawson, Hollywood’s hot new director, and invited him to be the assistant director of his new project.

As a music video director, Zack Snyder wants to be a real director all the time.

But there is a big difference between MV directors and film directors.

If there is no accident, Zack Snyder estimates that it will be at least several years before he can get the opportunity he wants.

However, the opportunity came sooner than he thought.

The position of Steve Kevin’s assistant director, this is undoubtedly a way, as long as he does a good job, it can be a great addition to his resume.

Pull some small investment or something, there is a possibility.

After all, you have the qualifications for a big project, and you can still scare many investors if you take it out.

Having been an MV director for several years, Zack Snyder has accumulated some contacts, and now he lacks such an opportunity to take off.

At the moment when he received the news from Dawson, Zach Snyder packed all his luggage, and even the rent was too lazy to ask the landlord to refund it.

Going directly to the address of Chenxi Company, he wants to take root directly near Chenxi.

As his Bole, Zack Snyder is willing to work in this film company as long as Kevin’s Dawn movie doesn’t feel sorry for him.

These are all his thoughts now.

Chapter 64 Depp’s Confidence

…..

Johnny Depp, who has done a lot of shit, heard his good friend and brotherly affection Nicolas Cage call him over.

Immediately declined all his other activities and drove his car towards Cage’s villa.

After more than an hour’s drive, he arrived at Cage’s villa from near Hollywood.

As soon as he came in, he saw Cage having a barbecue party with a stranger he didn’t know.

“Hello, Cage?”

Depp naturally came to their barbecue grill, picked up a half-pound skewer of beef, and ate it.

Kevin also introduced himself.

“I’m the director of Chainsaw, Get Out and Mission: Impossible, Steve Kevin!”

Kevin’s name, along with the popularity of the movie, has long been known to everyone in Hollywood.

Only then did Depp know that the young man in front of him was the most famous up-and-coming director in Hollywood recently.

“Hello, I’m rock star Johnny Depp!”

Depp introduced himself with a smile on his face.

When he debuted, as a singer, although he is better in the film circle now, he is more of a rock singer in his heart.

“Hello, Depp.”

This is another future superstar that Kevin has met.

Unlike his rock-and-roll style in front of the crowd, Depp behaves much more normally in this private gathering.

At least, there is no sense of rebelliousness and weirdness revealed by the clothes outside.

This made Kevin sigh a lot in his heart, Meiyu really developed a lot, and Huaguo will only start playing the character design in the next few years.

At this time, he was already playing in the American entertainment circle early.

Seeing that Kevin and Depp exchanged a few words, Cage then called for the two to pack the fried skewers to the table beside them.

After packing up the fried skewers and taking out some good beers, the three of them had a delicious meal and rested on the large sofa in the living room, ignoring the mess outside.

Anyway, a phone call tomorrow, someone will come to clean up.

After a few chats, Cage got down to business.

“Depp, in the next movie directed by Kevin, I’m going to find you as the male protagonist. Because I don’t know you, I know I know you, and that’s why I found me.”

“You must star in this movie. The actor is very good and can make you a superstar in Hollywood.”

“The most important thing is that this is a big production with a production cost of hundreds of millions of dollars!”

Before this, only one Edward Scissorhands was outstanding, and because of his makeup, it was not easy for people to recognize him.

Although he is not a nobody in Hollywood, he is obviously not a big man either.

For a director of Kevin’s level, asking him to be the male protagonist is tantamount to valuing him.

Depp’s face instantly turned serious.

“What kind of role can I find out about?”

Unlike Nicolas Cage’s solid background, Depp isn’t that picky about roles.

Hollywood stars, with the exception of Cage, actually pursue literary films mostly because they can’t receive the protagonists of commercial films.

If they can receive it, who would put commercial films and not shoot them, and go to shoot some literary films.

Do you really dislike dollars?

Kevin nodded, handed over the script, and explained:

“This is a fantasy film with a huge investment. I think the temperament is very consistent with yours. That’s why I want to ask Cage to contact you in advance.”

“However, because of the huge investment, the only protagonist of this film must be interviewed by senior executives of many companies to pass.”

“I also hope that you can take this role and play the Captain Jack Sparrow in my heart.”

By this time, Kevin was also very nervous.

If Jack Sparrow at this time can’t interpret the charm of Captain Orchid Finger, then he will take a huge risk to choose someone else to play Captain Jack Sparrow.

It’s even possible that the project had to be postponed because there was no suitable role.

Kevin couldn’t have risked not having the right actors to force a Pirates of the Caribbean film, which would have only ruined his reputation.

If in the future, when Kevin’s position in Hollywood is solid, he will make some such high-risk or original films, it doesn’t matter.

But at this time, Kevin will not risk his future because of a small impulse.

…

Depp read the script at a glance and was instantly attracted to this character.

In the Middle Ages, when witches still existed, men became thieves on the sea, hunting everywhere in search of treasures on the sea.

This setting is very attractive.

And everything revolves around the fastest ship in the Caribbean, Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl.

Jack Sparrow is different from the pirates who are generally known to do evil, and also different from the adventurers who are regarded as heroes.

He has the title of one of the nine most powerful pirates in the Caribbean Sea, but his personality is so cynical, even a little girly.

At the same time, he is also a good liar, and his morality and rhythm are questioned.

But with so many shortcomings, he also has many shining points.

In order to save his friend, he is not afraid of danger.
