Chapter 122
PARKING LOT.
The bearded gentleman made a phone call angrily
"Hello, is this Mr. Weinstein? I'm David Wenham. We talked last time at the banquet. I want to ask you a favor.……"
On the other end of the phone, Harvey frowned as he listened to the little actor he couldn't remember who was on the phone narrating his demands.
Lord of the Rings?
The character Faramir?
He had already sold the rights to adapt the movie to Martin and had no right to intervene. Wasting a favor for a useless actor? hehe!
Harvey was ready to hang up the phone, but the other person's words made him stop.
"For Nicole's sake, help me, I know you're on good terms with Martin"
"Nicole? Which Nicole? Nicole Kidman?" Harvey asked a series of questions
"Yes, it’s Nicole Kidman. We are both Australians and she takes good care of me. David Wenhan on the other side replied inexplicably.
Harvey grinned and said in a deep tone:"I can promise you to make this call, but no matter whether it succeeds or not, you need to help me do one thing." David Wenhan, who was already ill and rushed to the doctor, said hurriedly:"
I agreed, I owe you a favor, sir!""
"Remember, it’s just a call, no guarantees. Also, don’t lie to me, otherwise you will be miserable!"
"I won't, sir."
After hanging up the phone, David Wenhan felt a little better, thinking that given the relationship between Harvey and Martin, it should be no problem to get this role back.
Little did he know that a rift had already developed between Harvey and Martin, and the relationship was no longer what it was before.
Harvey even hoped that Martin's"Lord of the Rings" series would fail. This movie was released from his own hands. If it succeeded, it would be a slap in the face.
So David Wenham might as well have called Nicole. Kidman would probably have a greater effect.
Harvey called Peter Jackson. This guy didn't want to beg Martin. He was a thief. Anyway, he didn't say who to call just now.
Peter Jackson hung up the phone and said to Martin Said:"Harvey called, asking for a role for a man named David Wenham, the role of Faramir."
The New Line producer on the side was stunned for a moment, David Wenhan? Didn't I ask him to choose another role?
Then his face turned cold.
Haha, is this a fancy?!
"The name"David Wenham" was on his blacklist.
Martin raised his head lazily,"Isn't Faramir's role decided? Since everyone is satisfied, let's not change it.
The New Line producer immediately nodded and said,"Yes, I think Orlando is very suitable. There is no need to change it, and Harvey is no longer involved in this project.""
Peter nodded,"I understand!"
He doesn't like Harvey either, but he must respect the other party's power. He is not a top director yet, so he must be endorsed by Martin and New Line Producers.
Upright"idiots" cannot survive in Hollywood.
"Next! cried Peter
"Gentlemen, my name is David Wenham……"
David Wenham walked into the audition room and glanced at New Line Productions awkwardly, but the other party didn't look at him at all, he just looked down at the list on the table.
"you can start"
"Uh, okay, okay!"
This performance process was simply torturous for David Wenhan.
He could feel that his condition was very poor.
Now he could only hope for Harvey's call.
He walked out of the audition room in despair, already feeling some regret in his heart. But it was too late.
Robinbaum was dining at Mr. Chow's with Orlando Bloom when he received a call
"Hello, Jeff...what...that bastard Harvey...thank you, and thank you for us Martin...Okay, I'll let Orlando get ready...Yeah, okay, got it, bye! After hanging up the phone, Robinbaum looked scared.
Orlando, who was sitting opposite, also became nervous and asked softly:"Is it Martin's agent who called?" what happened? Is there a change in the character?"
"Almost, almost this character was gone! Robinbaum took a sip of wine to calm himself down, and then continued,"Someone found Harvey. Fortunately, you got in touch with Martin. Martin spoke for you. This role has been decided, and it's you!""
"Harvey? Harvey Weinstein?" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Yes, that damn fat pig! Then Robinbaum patted Orlando on the shoulder and said,"You are lucky. Think about this role carefully and build a good relationship with Martin on the set. This is an excellent opportunity!""
"Don't worry, I will!"
…………
《This huge audition for"The Lord of the Rings" finally came to a successful conclusion after four days of selection 0...
Basically, suitable actors have been found for the main characters in the film. Except for Faramir and the Elf Prince, the actors chosen for other roles are no different from those in the original timeline.
Orlando Bloom is very happy because the contract for"The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" has been sent to Robin Baum's mailbox and is just waiting to be signed.
Although it was confirmed before, I still felt a little uneasy when I didn't sign the contract.
And Martin, after the audition, immediately locked himself in his study and wrote hard.
The appearance of Orlando Bloom reminds him of another blockbuster movie series——《Pirates of the Caribbean".
This series of movies produced by Disney in the original timeline has a total of five movies, and almost all of them have been hits.
The total box office of the series exceeds 4.5 billion US dollars, and the peripheral profits exceed 10 billion US dollars.
It's comparable to"Lord of the Rings"》、《Harry Potter's money-making tool.
In fact, as of 2023, excluding comic book series movies,"Pirates of the Caribbean"》、《Lord of the Rings》、《"Harry Potter" is the only film series in the series to have two films that grossed more than $1 billion at the box office.
Now it's all in Martin's hands
…………
In fifteen days, it took Martin only fifteen days to complete the scripts for all five episodes of"Pirates of the Caribbean" - his super body control ability gave him the ability to type like a tentacle monster.
That's right, Martin no longer writes by hand and instead types on a computer.
This can be regarded as technology changing life, right?
…………
"What, Martin filed a new script with the Writers Guild again? Five movies in a series?
Alan Horn of Warner Bros. couldn't sit still. He really jumped up from behind his desk,"Contact Martin immediately. We at Warner Bros. must win this series.""
"But……"The manager who reported the matter to him was hesitant
"What are you waiting for?"
"Boss, but the script Martin is filing for this time is a pirate movie!"
"Um?"
Alan Horn sat back.
(Brothers, please take care of me. Please give me some comments, flowers, collections, and rewards. Thank you.）
