Chapter 569: 2 people who are also teachers and friends
"Hollywood starts with animation ( to find the latest chapters!
France somewhere - Johnny Depp's house.
In 1998, when Depp was filming the film "The Ninth Door" in France, he met and started a relationship with French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis;
In 1999, his daughter Lily Rose Depp was born;
Since then, for at least three to five months a year, John Nedup has stayed in France, not in the United States.
"Huh, didn't Mr. Deville come today?" asked his wife Vanessa.
(Deville Zron, male, Depp’s agent.)
Depp, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room and reading the newspaper, nodded gently: "I'm not here now. I don't know if I can come later. Anyway, if you want to have lunch, you can do more.
Wife Vanessa nodded, then into the kitchen.
Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived~
People Well, that is without talking.
Less than half an hour later, the agent Deville Zron arrived.
"Depp, I have good news for you." Agent Deville said
Hearing that, Depp put down the newspaper in his hand and poured a cup of coffee for Deville himself: "This is your favorite coffee, no sugar or milk."
The agent Deville took out a stack of contracts from the briefcase he carried, and said with a smile: "Although Wald Pictures did not fully accept our offer, the latest contract has greatly increased your remuneration. It can be seen that they are sincere. "
Moment, Depp will take over the contract and began to read.
[Film "Pirates of the Caribbean" contract. 】
Actor Captain Jack: Actor Johnny Depp;
Contract method: package trilogy (not a single movie);
"Pirates of the Caribbean" star paycheck: $ 9.0 million;
"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" starred fee: 13 million US dollars;
"Pirates of the Caribbean 3" film pay: $16 million;
In addition, the contract also marked high liquidated damages and as many as 20 detailed requirements...
1, hotel occupancy during the shooting, shuttle bus;
2. Obey the shooting requirements of the director team and the production team, and cannot be absent without reason;
3. If you are absent from shooting under unreasonable circumstances, you need to bear the corresponding losses of the crew;
......
"Wald Pictures What does this mean?"
"The remuneration has increased a lot, but there are too many requirements for details."
"Absent from filming for no reason?"
"They assumed I was such a person do?!"
Depp only scanned a few pages of the contract with more than a dozen pages, and then threw the contract aside, looking slightly upset.
Brokers Deville cheeky embarrassment.
Why would raise so many requirements?
It's really because of Depp's stinky problems...
He loves to drink very much, and it can even be said to be to the level of alcoholism!
Too much alcohol and absent from the filming crew the next day is definitely not one or two times for Depp.
In the original time and space, when Depp was filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", he had been absent from filming many times for no reason. Many directors and producers personally went to the hotel to pull him off the set.
The original filming cycle of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" was 16 weeks, but due to Depp's multiple absences, the filming cycle was forced to 19 weeks.
It took 3 weeks!
The producer paid an extra up to 4 million US dollars for this!
The ancients said: Anti-microbial failure.
As for Zhuke and Wald Pictures, they don't want to spend extra money. Naturally, they must strictly restrict him in some aspects, even if Depp and Zhuke have a good personal relationship!
"Deville, is it necessary to sign a trilogy contract for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie?" Depp said coldly.
"Ok!"
The agent Deville said emphatically: "Wald will not give up on this point. However, I also suggest that you sign it. After all, the production cost of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is as high as 140 million U.S. dollars. It is definitely Wald. Pictures of key projects in Germany. "
"The script written by Mr. Zucker Wald himself, you can't miss it."
The voice fell.
Depp moved slightly.
Although he has a tempered temper and often conflicts with the production company in the eyes of many people, he knows Zhu Ke's energy.
Zhuke, the gold medal screenwriter!
"Well, I can sign a trilogy contract, but you can talk about the salary." Depp compromised.
"Hahaha, no problem."
The agent Deville was immediately happy and laughed: "The first film is paid 9 million US dollars. I am absolutely unreasonable. What do you think of the 10 million US dollars?"
Depp also laughed.
......
at dusk.
Suddenly a guest arrives at Depp's home in France.
"Hi, Tim, why do you come without saying hello?!"
Depp became happy when he saw the person who appeared suddenly.
—Tim Bolton!
That's right, the person who came here was Tim Bolton, a great Hollywood director who was also a mentor and friend of Depp.
"Batman", "Batman Returns", "Edward Scissorhands", "Guillotine Valley", "Battle of the Apes", "Alice in Wonderland"...
Including the famous animated film "Zombie Bride", which is directed by Tim Bolton.
Among them, John Needup is really well known to North American audiences because he starred in the film "Edward Scissorhands" directed by Tim Bolton.
Relationship between the two is better, friend and teacher.
"Tim, everyone says I have a bad temper. Only you, Tim Bolton, can take care of me. I think it makes sense." Depp gave a warm hug.
Hearing this, Tim Bolton shook his head and smiled: "You, you, it's time to stop your temper."
When filming the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", Depp was absent from filming many times, but when he appeared in the film "Alice in Wonderland", he never missed the filming.
This is Tim Bolton's influence!
Depp really respects him!
"You came here this time...?"
Depp asked curiously.
Tim Bolton took out a bunch of contracts with a smile, and said, "I want to invite you to play the leading role in the movie "Battle of the Apes"?"
Depp: "..."
.......
That night, it was 9 pm French time.
Zhuke, who was in Los Angeles, was having afternoon tea at the moment when he suddenly received a call from Depp from France.
(In terms of time difference, France is 6 hours faster than the United States.)
"what?!"
"You promised to appear in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie. This is really great news. For the good news you brought to me~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I think I will definitely drink two more glasses for this afternoon tea. ."
Hearing this news, Zhu Ke was naturally very happy.
Captain Jack, the soul character of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, is definitely Depp. No way, the charm he added to Captain Jack is a classic in movie history.
but!
The bad news is here!
"Zuke, I can participate in "Pirates of the Caribbean", but I can't join the group immediately. I need to participate in the Tim-directed film "Battle of the Apes" first." John Needup's voice came over the phone.
Hearing the news, Zhu Ke was slightly taken aback.
In the impression of the traveler Zhu Ke, "Battle of the Apes" is a very classic movie, which should have been released as early as July 2001.
But now it hasn't been shot yet? !
"Is this the butterfly effect that I brought?" Zhu Ke secretly asked in his heart.
In the end, Zhuke agreed to Depp's vision.
-Postpone the filming of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", wait for Depp's schedule!
"This is him. Otherwise, I will change to another movie. I will definitely change the actors as soon as possible. The captain Jack in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie is changed to someone else. What will the final result be?"
The production company is waiting for a certain actor's schedule...
Not to mention it is very common, but it is also not a minority.
In the original time and space, Warner Corporation and director Christopher Nolan, after the project of the movie "Inception", in order to wait for the little plum, didn't they just wait for more than half a year!
There are many, many things like this.
The phone hangs up.
Zhuke called Kevin Fitch: "The contract can be signed, but the filming of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie will be postponed. It is estimated that it will not start until February 2002 at the earliest."
"" The first update is sent.
