Depp's Confidence

Johnny Depp, who has done a lot of shit, heard his good friend and brotherly affection Nicolas Cage call him over.

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

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

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

"Hello, Cage?"

Depp naturally came to their barbecue grill, picked up a half-pound skewer of beef, and ate it.

Kevin also introduced himself.

"I'm the director of Chainsaw, 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.

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

Depp introduced himself with a smile on his face.

When he debuted, as a singer, although he is better in the movie circle now, he is more of a rock singer in his heart.

"Hello, Depp."

This is another future superstar that Kevin has met.

Unlike his rock-and-roll style in front of the crowd, Depp behaves much more normally in this private gathering.

At least, there is no sense of rebelliousness and weirdness revealed by the clothes outside.

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

At this time, he was already playing in the American entertainment circle early.

Seeing that Kevin and Depp exchanged a few words, Cage then called for the two to pack the fried skewers to the table beside them.

After packing up the fried skewers and taking out some good beers, the three of them had a delicious meal, and they all lay down on the large sofa in the living room to rest, ignoring the mess outside.

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

After a few chats, Cage got down to business.

"Depp, in the next movie directed by Kevin, I am going to find you as the male protagonist. Because I don't know you, I know that I know you, and that's why I found me."

"You must star in this movie. The actor is very good 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 this, only one Edward Scissorhands was outstanding, and because of his makeup, it was not easy for people to recognize him.

Although he is not a nobody in Hollywood, he is obviously not a big man either.

For a director of Kevin's level, asking him to be the male protagonist is tantamount to valuing him.

Depp's face instantly turned serious.

"What kind of role can I find out about?"

Unlike Nicolas Cage's solid background, Depp isn't that picky about roles.

Hollywood stars, with the exception of Cage, actually pursue literary films because they cannot receive the protagonists of commercial films.

If they can receive it, who would put commercial films and not shoot them, and go to shoot some literary films.

Do you really dislike dollars?

Kevin nodded, handed over the script, and explained:

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

"However, because of the huge investment, the only protagonist of this film must be interviewed by senior executives of many companies to pass."

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

By this time, Kevin was also very nervous.

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

It's even possible that the project had to be postponed because there was no suitable role.

Kevin couldn't have risked not having the right actors and forced to film Pirates of the Caribbean, that would have only ruined his reputation.

If in the future, when Kevin's position in Hollywood is solid, he will make some such high-risk or original films, 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 to 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, Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl.

Jack Sparrow is different from the pirates who are generally known to do evil, and also different from those adventurers who are regarded as heroes.

He has the title of one of the nine most powerful pirates in the Caribbean Sea, but his personality is so cynical, even a little girly.

At the same time, he is also a good liar, and his morality and rhythm are questioned.

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

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

It is such a complex and not single character that establishes a very three-dimensional and vivid image of the captain.

The moment he read the script, Depp knew he had to get the role.

A character who must be remembered in film history, if he misses it, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Looking at the silent two, Johnny Depp said confidently:

"Leave it to me, Director Kevin, this role is mine."

Kevin nodded.

"A week later, come to MGM's Pirates of the Caribbean cast to audition for the male lead, I believe in you."

Looking at Depp's confident eyes, Kevin was instantly convinced by him.

There are always people who talk about hard work, but in Kevin's view, talent is often the most important part of these arts.

As far as Liu Tianwang in the previous life is concerned, in terms of singing, he can't compare to Zhang Tianwang, and in terms of acting skills, there is also a huge gap with Liang.

No matter how hard he tried, the gap between him and others was visible to the naked eye.

Not to say he is bad, but to make a point.

The importance of talent in the film industry.

And Nicolas Cage and Johnny Depp are without a doubt that kind of genius.

This kind of talent, assuring Kevin that he can play well shows that he has this kind of confidence.

And Kevin is willing to believe in the promise of his genius.

In the next time, Kevin didn't say much.

After eating and drinking, Julie went out to pick up the show, and there were no women in his villa.

Simply spend one night in Cage's villa.

Drink some beer and get a good night's sleep.....
