chapter 122

Parking lot.

The bearded gentleman made an indignant call.

I'm David Wenham, we talked at the banquet last time, and I wanted to ask you for a favor…"

On the other end of the phone, Harvey frowned as he listened to the little actor in the microphone who he could no longer remember narrating his appeal.

The Lord of the Rings?

The character of Faramir?

He has already sold the right to adapt the film to Martin, and he has no power to meddle, wasting a favor for a small actor who is nothing?

Hehe!

Harvey was ready to hang up, but a word from the other party made him stop his fingers.

"For Nicole's sake, help me, I know you have a good relationship with Martin. "

Nicole Kidman?" asked Harvey in a flurry.

"Yes, it's Nicole Kidman, we're both Australians and she takes good care of me. David Wenham on the other side replied inexplicably.

Harvey grinned and said in a deep tone: "I can promise you to make this call, but whether things work out or not, you need to help me with one thing." "

David Wenham, who was already ill and rushed to the hospital, hurriedly said: "I promised, I owe you a favor, sir!"

"Remember, it's just a phone call, no guarantees. Also, don't lie to me, or you'll be miserable!"

"I won't, sir. "

Hanging up the phone, David Wenham was in a better mood, thinking that with the relationship between Harvey and Martin, there should be no problem in getting back this role.

He did not know that there was already a rift between Harvey and Martin, and the relationship was no longer what it used to be.

Even Harvey is looking forward to the failure of Martin's "Lord of the Rings" series, which is released from his own hands, and if it succeeds, it will not slap him in the face.

So David Wenham's call is better than calling Nicole Kidman, the effect will probably be greater.

Harvey called Peter Jackson, this guy didn't want to beg Martin, he was a chicken thief, anyway, he didn't say who to call just now.

Peter Jackson hung up the phone and said to Martin: "Harvey called, asking for a role for a man named David Wenham, Faramir's role." "

The producer of the new line on the side was stunned, David Wenham, didn't he let him choose another role?

Then his face turned cold.

Huh, this is fancy?!

The name "David Wenham" was on his blacklist.

Martin raised his head lazily, "Isn't Faramir's role set, since everyone is satisfied, don't change it." "

The new line producer immediately nodded and said, "That's right, I think that Orlando is very suitable, there is no need to change it, and Harvey is no longer involved in this project." "

Peter nodded, "I see!"

He also doesn't like Harvey, but he has to respect the other party's power, and he's not a top director yet, so he must have Martin and the new line producers endorse him.

Geng Zhi's "fool" will not survive in Hollywood.

"Next!" exclaimed Peter.

"Gentlemen, I'm David Wenham…"

David Wenham walked into the audition room and first glanced awkwardly at the new line producer, but the other party didn't look at him at all, just looked down at the list on the table.

"You can get started. "

"Uh, okay, okay!"

This performance process was simply torturous for David Wenham.

He could feel that he was in very poor shape.

Now it's all we can hope for Harvey's call.

He walked out of the audition room with a lost soul, already a little regretful in his heart, but it was too late.

Robin baum, who was eating with Orlando Bloom at Mr. Zhou's restaurant, received a phone call.

"Harrow, Jeff… What the... Harvey that bastard… Thank you and thank you Martin for us… Okay, I'll let Orlando prepare well… Uh-huh, understand, bye!"

Hanging up the phone, Robin baum looked afraid.

Orlando, who was sitting opposite, also tensed up and asked softly: "Did Martin's agent call?

"Almost, almost this character is gone!" Robin baum took a sip of wine to suppress himself before continuing, "Someone found Harvey, thanks to you and Martin to talk, Martin helped you talk, this role is set, it's you!"

"Harvey? Harvey Weinstein?"

"Yes, it's that damn fat pig!"

Then Robin baum patted Orlando on the shoulder, "You're lucky, it's a great opportunity to think about this role and get along with Martin on set!"

"Don't worry, I will!"

...

This huge audition for "The Lord of the Rings", after four days of selection, finally ended …

Basically, the main characters in the film have found suitable actors, except for Faramir and the Elf Prince, the actors chosen for the other characters are no different from the original timeline.

Orlando Bloom was happy because the contract for The Lord of the Rings Trilogy had been sent to Robin baum's mailbox, just waiting for the signature to be settled.

Although I was sure before, I didn't sign the contract, and I always felt a little uneasy.

Martin, on the other hand, immediately after the audition, locked himself in his study and worked hard to write.

The appearance of Orlando Bloom reminded him of another blockbuster film series – "Pirates of the Caribbean".

This series of movies produced by Disney in the original timeline has a total of five films, almost all of which are a hit.

The total box office of the series exceeded 4.5 billion US dollars, and the surrounding profit exceeded 10 billion.

It is comparable to "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" to attract money.

In fact, as of 2023, not counting the comic book series, "Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" are the only series with two series with a box office of more than $1 billion.

Now it's all in Martin's pocket.

...

Fifteen days, it only took fifteen days Martin to complete the script for all five episodes of "Pirates of the Caribbean" –

The super body control ability gives him the ability to type like a tentacle.

That's right, Martin now doesn't have to write by hand and uses computer typing instead.

This is also a change in life with technology.

...

"What, Martin filed a new script in the Screenwriters' Guild again?

Warner Bros.'s Alanhorn couldn't sit still, he really jumped up from behind his desk, "Contact Martin immediately, we Warner Bros. must win this series." "

"But…" the manager who reported it to him hesitated.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Boss, but the script Martin filed this time is a pirate movie!"

"Huh?"

Alanhorn sat back.
