After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Having said that, Cage took another distressed look at the wine that Kevin put aside at random, it was the most high-end wine he had imported from France.

A bottle costs tens of thousands of dollars.

Don't think the 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 [-] US dollars is already a high-end of the high-end.

Even Cage himself drank the delicate taste of a small cup, and he was reluctant to waste it.

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

Distressed, Cage put away the rest of the wine, took out a bottle of iced Coke from the refrigerator and handed it to Kevin.

Kevin was so mean, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then opened the iced Coke and took a big gulp of himself.

Even on this cold day in December, Kevin still likes iced Coke in the villa.

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

As for the fact that Cage saw that he was not so sincere in letting him play Captain Jack Sparrow, Kevin is not surprised.

The images of these two are too different from the previous roles.

Although Cage is willing to challenge the characters he is not familiar with, it should also be in literary films.

When it comes to commercial films, no matter how popular they are, he will never get an award.

This is not in line with Cage's play.

It's impossible for Kevin not to know this, but he still came to the door.

Then there must be other purposes.

Cage stared at Kevin with piercing eyes, seeing what he was trying to trick.

"Comfortable!"

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

After putting down the Coke, Kevin said with satisfaction:

"Do you know an actor named Johnny Depp?"

A trace of complicated emotions flashed across Cage's face, and said:

"How do you know I know him?"

Kevin laughed.

"I heard it by chance."

"Why, do you really know each other?"

Cage nodded, and said with a look of recalling and thinking:

"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. In order to make up for what she owed Depp, she felt guilty, so she asked me to help Depp."

"As for Depp..."

"I have to say, he is a genius in acting, a genius actor, do you know that?"

"He's the kind of person who can give a character a unique charm."

"Still, he's a jerk."

Cage had mixed emotions on his face.

Depp that guy actually stole his money and went to the bar to be cool. Fortunately, he saw that Depp had no place to live, so he let Depp live in his property for free.

"Then, can you contact him for me?"

Kevin couldn't help asking.

Cage nodded.

Kevin looked 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.

After agreeing to Kevin's words, Cage didn't waste any time, and directly picked up the phone and called Depp, the jerk in his eyes.

After scolding and scolding full of love, Kevin vaguely heard the news that Depp was coming here soon.

The happy Kevin also showed his skills, took out some meat from the refrigerator, and held a barbecue party outside with Cage, waiting for Depp's arrival.

Kevin, like Cage, is not used to the temper of strangers at home, so there is no nanny, chef and bodyguard at home.

Kevin's approach was to let the bodyguard rent a room in an ordinary residence below Beverly Hills, and when he needed it, he would call the bodyguard and driver to come over.

Cage did the same thing.

......

On the other side, Zach Schneider also received a message from Dawson, Hollywood's hottest up-and-coming director, inviting him to be the assistant director of his new project.

As a MV director, Zach Schneider wants to be a real director all the time.

But there is a world of difference between a MV director and a film director.

If there is no accident, Zach Schneider estimates that it will be at least several years before he will be able to get the opportunity he wants.

However, the opportunity came sooner than he thought.

The position of Steve Kevin's assistant director is undoubtedly a path. As long as he does a good job, he can greatly add to his resume.

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

After all, it has the qualifications of a big project, and it can still bluff many investors.

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

The moment he received the news from Dawson, Zach Schneider packed all his luggage, and he was too lazy to ask the landlord to refund the rent.

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

As his Bole, Zach Schneider is willing to work in this film company as long as Kevin's Dawn movie does not disappoint him.

This is all he thinks now.

Chapter 64 Depp's Confidence

.....

Johnny Depp, who has done a lot of assholes, hears his best friend, Nicolas Cage, who has brotherly feelings at the same time, calling him over.

Immediately declined all his other activities, and drove his own car towards Cage's villa.

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

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

"Hello, Cage?"

Depp came to their barbecue very naturally, picked up a string of beef skewers weighing half a catty, and started to eat.

Kevin also introduced himself.

"I'm the director of Saw, 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.

"Hi, I'm rock star Johnny Depp!"

With a smile on his face, Depp introduced himself.

When he debuted, as a singer, although he is doing better in the film industry now, he still calls himself a rock singer more in his heart.

"Hello, Depp."

This is another future superstar that Kevin has seen.

Different from his kind of rock fan in front of the crowd, Depp behaved much more normal in this kind of private gathering.

At least, there is no rebellious feeling and weird smell revealed by the appearance outside.

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

At this time, he had already played in the American entertainment circle early.

Seeing Kevin and Depp exchanged a few words, Cage then called out to the two to pack the fried skewers on the side table.

After tidying up the fried skewers and taking out some good beer, the three of them had a good meal and then lay down on the big sofa in the living room to rest, completely ignoring the mess outside.

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

After chatting for a while, Cage finally got down to business.

"Depp, for the next movie directed by Kevin, I'm going to find you as the male lead, because I don't know you, but I know you, so I found me."

"You must act in this movie. The leading actor is very brilliant 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 that, only Edward Scissorhands was outstanding, and because of the makeup, it was not easy to recognize him.

Although he wouldn't be a nobody in Hollywood, but obviously, he wasn't a big shot either.

For a director of Kevin's level, finding him as the male lead is tantamount to valuing him.

Depp's face instantly became serious.

"What kind of role is it, can I find out more about it?"

Unlike Nicolas Cage's strong background, Depp is not that picky about roles.

Hollywood stars, except for Cage, most of them pursue literary films because they can't get the leading roles in commercial films.

If you can receive it, who would not shoot a commercial film and run to shoot some literary film.

Do you really think that US dollars are not fragrant?

Kevin nodded, handed over the script, and explained:

"This is a fantasy film with a huge investment. I think the temperament matches yours very well. That's why I want to ask Cage to contact you in advance."

"However, due to the huge investment, the sole protagonist of this movie will definitely have to go through interviews with the senior management of many companies before he can pass."

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

By this time, Kevin was also very nervous.

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

It is even possible that the project had to be postponed because there were no suitable roles.

It is impossible for Kevin to risk not having the right actors to forcefully shoot Pirates of the Caribbean, which will only ruin his reputation.

If in the future, when Kevin's position in Hollywood is stable, he will make some high-risk or original films, then 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 by this character.

In the Middle Ages, when witches still existed, men became thieves on the sea, hunting everywhere, looking for treasures on the sea.

This setting is very attractive.

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

Jack Sparrow is different from the villainous pirates that most people think of, and he is 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 character is so cynical and even a bit sissy.

At the same time, he is also a liar who is good at lying, and his morality and rhythm have been questioned.

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

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