Ning Yuan really didn't think that Bruckheimer would invite him to audition for the lead role in his next movie.

is not a supporting role, let alone a soy sauce party, but the protagonist with the most important scenes!

Even if the timeline is out of order, combined with his evaluation of Cui Da, there is a high probability that it will be "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Captain Jack, who wears smoky makeup, often sways his waist and tilts his orchid fingers, looks like a mother.

Although this makeup is Depp's own creation as Jack, if he hadn't insisted on it, the filmmakers wouldn't have wanted to make such a risky look come out.

After all, the male protagonists of Hollywood blockbusters in the past were either heroes like Superman and Team America, or they were also wild and stout like Schwarzenegger or Stallone, and they were not easy to provoke at first glance.

But about Captain Jack's character, in the first part, it is also said through the mouth of the old man with a round face and beard, the first mate Gibbs, that Jack was once betrayed by his first mate Barbossa and thrown him to an island, and since then he has become like this.

Then Elizabeth said: No wonder he was always so strange.

This strangeness is not to say that it is shocking, but to soften the ferocity and evil of the pirate, which needs to be adjusted through the details of movements and postures.

Naturally, the choice of roles cannot be found in strong men.

Therefore, even if there is no Depp's smoky makeup, when filming, the protagonist will be required to act less like a pirate.

Because this is a commercial film, not a documentary, first of all, at the box office, it must cater to the perceptions of all ages.

If even the protagonist, Captain Jack, looked like Barbossa, or his menacing appearance, would the children like it? I don't think their parents would show them, and a large number of women wouldn't like it.

This point is also one of the reasons for the failure of Zhang Jizhong's "Journey to the West", he did restore it according to the description, but the 86 version is like telling a fairy tale, but because it is a fairy tale, there is no fierce and evil appearance of the original work, and there are no dark curves and curves, so it is suitable for all ages.

Secondly, the largest producer of this film is Disney, whose theme parks also have a very heavy weight in the revenue composition, which is basically the same as film and television entertainment.

After this movie, Caribbean theme parks will also be built, and if the protagonist is too vicious, children will not come, except for those adrenaline-seeking teenagers.

In this world, children and women earn the best money, and Disney fulfills the dreams of children and women, such as a wonderful world and a pink princess dream.

Captain Jack, who is a little girly, a little out of tune, and a little funny, and Elizabeth, a beautiful princess, plus the handsome Will. The three of them are matched to fit Disney's line.

Although this is a big Disney production, the first part cost 140 million, but before Depp acted in this movie, except for "Edward Scissorhands", there was no too well-known masterpiece, in addition, it was "The Adventures of Heroic Boys" that he wrote, directed and acted in, which was nominated for the Cannes Palme d'Or.

These achievements have made him quite famous, but in terms of appeal, he is much worse than those big names, especially for Captain Jack's influence.

In fact, the first choice for this movie to invite at the beginning was Jim Carrey - in the initial character design, I wanted to create a protagonist with a sense of comic, which is in line with Jim Carrey's identity as the king of comedy, and can also form a contrast with everyone's traditional concept of pirates.

At this time, Jim Carrey has been in 99 and 00 for two consecutive years, and has won the Golden Globe Award twice for "Truman's World" and "The Man on the Moon", especially the former, before Ning Yuan came back, Douban scored more than 9 points, reaching 9.3 points, and it was evaluated by more than one million people.

In fact, as early as 94, Jim Carrey won a box office of 350 million with "Strange Heroes in Disguise", which cost only more than 10 million. was also released in 94, as well as his masterpiece "Detective Plane Head".

This year can also be regarded as the explosive year of his ascension, and the top 15 at the US box office, the movies he starred in occupy four seats.

Naturally, Jim Carrey is more appealing than Depp, and his comedic image can also be perfectly combined with Captain Jack.

But it's a pity that Jim Carrey also had another "Impostor" that made him famous later.

One is a dark-oriented pirate movie with an uncertain future, and the other is a comedy film that he is good at, and there is more room for play, and Jim Carrey did not hesitate to choose the latter.

This choice gave Depp a chance.

Although "The Impostor" also achieved good results and solidified Jim Carrey's achievements, compared to "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is far from the end of the story.

Of course, whether the Caribbean has made Depp or Depp has made the Caribbean, there is no doubt that if Ning Yuan can really kill Depp and get this role, he will inevitably leap from the first line of China to the first line of the world.

When Bruckheimer left, he made an appointment with Ning Yuan to come to his office for a detailed discussion.

learned that Ning Yuan was photographed by a Hollywood producer and invited to audition, although he didn't know what movie it was, it was enough to make the whole crew stunned.

Even Jiang Youyou looked at Ning Yuan with some astonishment: "What kind of luck are you?"

But then she reacted: "No, I'm not saying that your acting skills are bad, it's just, it's just too unexpected, this is Bruckheimer." ”

Jiang Zhiqiang said with a smile: "This also shows that Ning Yuan is excellent, of course, there must be an element of luck, because he also came up with the idea after watching this drama." ”

Regarding the process of meeting, although only Ang Lee and Jiang Zhiqiang were present, Jiang Youyou and they also listened to Jiang Zhiqiang briefly afterwards - because Bruckheimer did mention that Ning Yuan played Cui Da after Shen De's transformation, and his image and temperament have a lot in common with his role in his new movie.

There's an element of luck to that.

When he came back to his senses, Meng Hui immediately shouted, "Ning Yuan, calculate for yourself, how many meals you owe us!"

Ning Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "I didn't mean it. ”

owed food several times before, Meng Hui was not there when Ning Yuan returned to the capital, he came back to Ning Yuan and went out to film, or although they were all together, they were busy with things.

Although we went out to eat together in Xiangjiang last time, Jiang Youyou finally paid the bill, because she said that when she came to her land, as a local, of course she had to pay.

Jiang Youyou also hummed: "Don't forget, there is also my feast." ”

"Remember, I remember. ”

After speaking, Ning Yuan waved his hand, and said: "But I have to say, now it's just an invitation to audition, whether it works or not, don't spread this matter first, in case any media pokes it out, it's embarrassing for me if it doesn't happen, even if it happens, they have to come first to announce it, and it's not good for me to leak it here." ”

Meng Hui said angrily: "Do you think I'm such a broken person? When I was in the circle, you were still playing with mud." ”
