Chapter 145 Gore's Bad Thing

When considering the candidates for Captain Jack, Michael Keaton, Christopher Walken, and Jim Carrey had all entered Jerry's mind, but Will Turner was basically not considered carefully by Jerry. Come to think of it, it seems like Jerry subconsciously wanted Daniel to play Will Turner from the very beginning.

According to the character design, Will is tall and handsome, with superb swordsmanship, and has a relationship with Elizabeth. From many aspects, Daniel is the most suitable candidate.

Counting the entire Hollywood now, there is no one who is more suitable for a role like Will than Daniel.

Commonly known as "male vase".

Of course, this is not to say that Daniel's acting skills are not good enough. No one can say that Daniel, who won the Golden Globe and Oscar, plus a large number of outpost awards, is a person who can't act, but relatively speaking, he possesses super talent. High popularity, especially among the teenagers who have the greatest consumption impulse, there is almost no rival. In addition, Daniel's face and figure are too outstanding. Leonardo finished filming "Titanic", because he grew up He is very troubled by the look of a little boy. Recently, the direction of reading scripts is going in the direction of crazy and rough uncles.

Popularity and appearance, if these two points are used in the position of the vase, it is almost the candidate that any film producer hopes to have.

This is Jerry, as a producer consideration.

On the other hand, Gore Verbinski simply thought that Daniel was not very suitable for the role of Captain Jack, but it was difficult for him to tell. He had a quick talk at the beginning, which caused Daniel a little trouble, and the friendship between the two, If he blocks Daniel with an old-fashioned attitude, it will break Hollywood's rules of favor-of course it can be so, you don't have to sell favors, but first of all you have to not accept others' favors, this is called arrogance. But just eating and not eating is not what you should do.

But Gore spoke up anyway.

It's not hard to see why, and the film means a lot to Gore.

Investment, technical direction, and the tentative significance of the film, if Gore can win this film, it is not impossible to gain a foothold in Hollywood, and even become a generation of great directors.

Under this premise, even if Gore is not very good at playing tricks, he still knows how to choose.

After all, the protagonist is really too heavy.

And the roles that Daniel has played in the past, online and offline, are far from the Captain Jack he hoped for. Billy Bob didn't say that Commodius, Emmett, Legolas, Jason Bourne, and the last few new plays really didn't have the temperament he wanted.

In fact, he was not very satisfied with the candidates proposed by Jerry.

There is only one man he is satisfied with.

Johnny Depp!

Starting from "Edward Scissorhands", Johnny's performance style is most closely related to the mystery, mystery, absurdity, and humor he hopes.

But Will Turner is completely different. First, this role is not important. As an Oscar winner, Daniel plays without pressure. Second, he is just like Jerry. Will’s role really seems to be for Made by Daniel. He could even imagine how pleasing it would be to be dressed as a medieval blacksmith with the temperament of Commodius when he wields swords and makes love.

Now it seems that as long as Daniel agrees to play Will Turner, and then Gore convinces Jerry to invite Johnny Depp and find a female vase, the result will be the optimal configuration.

But that's the problem.

Is it possible to ask Daniel to play Will?

The biggest difficulty is that Daniel wants to participate in this movie so seriously, it is absolutely impossible to watch Will come. It is a good thing for a movie to make money, but it is the investor, the producer, the distributor, and even the director and theater. The good thing about the line has nothing to do with a supporting role that doesn't take too much weight. Unless Will can be like Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings"-now I don't know how many people want to play Legolas. But is it possible? impossible! So for Daniel to accept this role from the perspective of the producer and director instead of his own perspective, it is simply too difficult.

The second point, even if Daniel is willing to accept, at Daniel's price, playing such an unsatisfactory role, 12 million won't be enough. As for the share, the possibility needs to be considered. Of course, in front of a behemoth like Disney, Daniel's demands may not be met.

But even a fixed salary of 12 million is far more than what they budgeted for the actor who played Will.

The budget cap is only three million!

The heroine is more flexible, depending on the status, but it will not exceed three million-they will not hire Cameron Diaz or Drew Barrymore-level actors.

Even for Captain Jack, the salary limit is only 10 million. And if they offer a sharing contract, the base remuneration will be further reduced. According to Disney's thinking, Captain Jack must hire an A-lister, so they prepared a sharing contract, which is also the way they prefer to choose. It is what they want to share some risks. After all, this is not a project that is destined to make money. It is always good to be able to pull in more water. The actors of Will and Elizabeth are not eligible to enjoy the share according to the design.

Of course, if Daniel really wanted to, he wouldn't have nothing to talk about. With Daniel's popularity and appeal today, he is already an actor who is qualified to talk about the share.

The last possibility, of course, is to leave Daniel alone. If it is expensive and unsuitable, why must it be used.

But things are not that simple.

Robert Iger is on the one hand, the new CEO of Disney has some connections with Daniel, and is quite convinced of Daniel's appeal.

Even if he is looking for a little psychological comfort, the two works of "Legally Blonde" and "Lord of the Rings" can give him peace of mind.

As the helm of Disney with the most right to speak, Robert's opinion is very important-this is based on Robert's image recognition of Captain Jack, perhaps because he is used to making animated movies. For the set that Gore advocates, Robert Not very cold, although as the CEO of Disney, it is inappropriate to directly intervene, but "Pirates of the Caribbean" is unusual after all.

Here's the problem, Gore couldn't convince Robert to let go.

And Robert is on the one hand and Jerry Bruckheimer on the other.

His words were thrown out as early as a year ago. When they were still talking about "Black Hawk Down", Daniel sold him a big face and did not join Ridley Scott's invitation to join the competition, but It was Josh who handed over the role to Jerry's favorite. Later he said that he had a book about pirates that he was preparing and hoped to invite Daniel, but Daniel agreed without even reading the script.

And now, Daniel has a clear attitude, and Jerry told him: No, I don't want you to act now.

Even a gold medal producer like Jerry would have to wait to be ridiculed if he did such a thing, and at the same time, he would have to bear the preparation of a full-scale confrontation with Daniel—he was not afraid, but why would he? Why would you want to fall out with a promising superstar? This is a friendly circle that makes money, even if the blood on the back is torn, people still love each other. Not to mention, today, Daniel and Jerry still have a real friendship.

Daniel used the human relationship network he had woven over the past year to wrap the three decision-makers in it, just for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, which can be described as well-intentioned. But in order to determine Ding Ding's status in the next five to ten years, Daniel had to act like this.

...

The news of the discussion of the trio in "Pirates of the Caribbean" soon reached Daniel's ears.

The message came from someone no one would have expected.

Robert Iger!

Michael Eisner is very tough, so the board of directors put Robert, who is gentler, into the CEO position, but what they didn't understand was that whether a person is tough or not is not only related to personality but also to position. Under the circumstances, he had to be gentle, but it was different now, he was already the supreme commander in charge of this aircraft carrier. For a term of five years, unless there is a major mistake, it is impossible for the board of directors to remove him, which has a great impact on the stock price. So Robert no longer needed to hide his true character.

He was equally dogmatic.

He thinks Daniel is suitable for Captain Jack, why not? Jack is a positive character and a lovable character. Why is it inappropriate to cast an A-list superstar with outstanding acting skills, incomparable handsomeness, high popularity and amazing charisma? Why is it inappropriate?

This is Robert's inner thought.

As for the appearance described by Gore, in his opinion, it was a bit grandstanding, although under the coordination of Jerry, he tolerated it. After all, he is not a professional, and Gore is the director. But when Daniel stood in front of him, Robert's forbearance seemed unnecessary.

With Daniel as an extremely suitable candidate to support Robert's existing imagination of the protagonist of the story, why must he go so dangerously? Create the protagonist as a non-mainstream character.

During the discussion, Robert also saw that Daniel had friendship with Jerry and Gore. Otherwise, with Jerry's toughness, it would be impossible not to support the director he chose. Besides, he himself did not recommend Daniel.

So Robert called Daniel.

Not many people know about Daniel's private phone number, but people like Robert and Schneider must know about it.

"Gore." Daniel pronounced the name. He prepared a lot, and even made friends with Gore before he made a fortune. There is no difference in making friends. When filming "Midnight Ring", Daniel also gave his thoughts without reservation. Usually, the two families come and go naturally, and they get along with each other.

But Gore actually wanted to cut off his hope of starring.

As for Jerry, Daniel knew that Jerry would choose himself in the end. He not only made the film "Pirates of the Caribbean", but also had many opportunities to cooperate in the future. Besides, Daniel already had a production company under his hands and invested in two films. , the possibility of cooperation is even greater.

So, really, Daniel doesn't have to do much, just wait for Jerry to decide, and then Gore gives in.

Is it that easy?

Daniel assured that Johnny Depp has got the news at this moment, even though he didn't think much about such an opportunity before, but now that Daniel is involved, Daniel believes that Depp will change his mind.

Depp has been in the circle for many years, and his personal connections are not comparable to Daniel's. Whether Daniel's initiative can withstand Depp's attack is unknown.

...

As Daniel expected.

The attitude of Jerry and Robert made Gore worry that Daniel would finally win the role. It was a short process from hesitation to firmness. Gore had indeed made up his mind to stop Daniel, so he passed the news to Johnny Depp and Tracy Jacobs.

This movie is not necessarily indispensable to Daniel, but it is extremely important to him, which is what Gore thinks.

Depp has recently lived in New York. After the incident last September, he returned to Los Angeles to live until Christmas, and then returned to New York, of course, with work in between.

When he heard the news, Tracy hesitated a little with him.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" is not that attractive to them, no matter in terms of appearance or pay. But the problem is, Daniel is fighting hard for the role.

Is there still a gap between today's Daniel and Johnny Depp? The only difference is age.

In terms of pay, he has even surpassed Depp - an A-list actor whose commercial value has not been proven. The same is true for awards, Daniel already has an Oscar in his hand, although it is only a supporting role, but Depp has nothing.

So why can't Depp watch movies that Daniel can watch?

This is Tracy and Depp's unadorned, shameful, but practical and practical way of thinking.

So, basically Depp didn't hesitate for a long time and decided to go for the movie.
