The movie "The Revenant" is not the first time that Song Zheng has thought about inviting Leonardo DiCaprio, when he was preparing for "Inception", Song Zheng thought about cooperating with Xiao Lizi once, but at that time, although he was firmly in the first line in China, and even in the world, he was able to be a first-line actor, but the director's works are not influential enough in the world, especially in the United States, and only one "True Lies" can be used.

At that time, Song Zheng asked Lionsgate to contact Xiao Lizi, but they didn't agree, but this time it was different, although Song Zheng's "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" failed to reach the top of this year's Golden Globe Awards, but it also won three awards.

If you send another invitation to DiCaprio at this time, I think the other party will also seriously consider it.

Back at the hotel, Song Zheng took a shower and called Shang Jie directly, asking her to contact someone from Lionsgate and send an invitation to Leonardo DiCaprio.

The script of "The Revenant", Song Zheng has already been adapted, and the idea of making this movie, Song Zheng had it after filming "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", and spent a lot of money to buy the film and television adaptation rights, and recently, it has only been constantly polishing.

The script was sent, and all that remained was to wait for news from the United States.

Although Song Zheng is a little regretful that he can't play the actor Glass, if he can win an Oscar by himself, he is also full of a sense of accomplishment.

Just imagine, Xiao Lizi has failed to hit the Oscar three times in a row so far, if he starred in his works and won this long-awaited actor crown, wouldn't it be more able to prove Song Zheng's ability.

Moreover, even if there is no reason for the plot, Song Zheng really can't play the role of Glass, and now this "Mourning for the Heavenly King" is almost about to take his life, if he plays another "The Revenant" next, even if he doesn't die, he has to be pulled out of a layer of skin.

Not to mention, if Song Zheng still chooses to direct and act in a movie that tortures the actor so much, can he hold it, just crawled out of the icy river, and then arranged the work of the crew, even if he just thinks about it, Song Zheng can only give up.

Lionsgate is also very concerned about the cooperation with 1+1 company, the previous few cooperations have made them a lot of money, and now Song Zheng has a new plan, they naturally have to fight with 120,000 points of spirit.

"Leonardo DiCaprio?

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Brian Goodsmith was first concerned about this issue, and the previous successful cooperation experience had given him an almost superstitious confidence in Song Zheng.

"I think so, Ms. Shang of 1+1 said so on the phone, and Mr. Song specified that he wanted Leonardo DiCaprio to play the leading role in his new film!"

Goodsmith thought for a while and said, "Okay! I believe in the vision of the Chinese Song, Alexander, you are in charge of this matter, contact Leonardo DiCaprio, but we can't just focus on him alone, the last time the Chinese Song "Inception", DiCaprio refused, if he still does not choose the Chinese Song, we also need to have alternative actors to recommend to the Chinese Song!"

Alexander, as Goodsmith's assistant, naturally knows the mind of his boss, Leonardo DiCaprio, although he is not the top star in Hollywood, but his international influence is very great, and the honor brought by the big ship back then is indeed enough for him to eat for a lifetime.

Lionsgate's business model has always been budget-conscious, and DiCaprio's salary is not low, and it is obviously not Goodsmith's favorite candidate.

This time, it was only because Song Zheng specified that he wanted him, and as a partner who brought huge benefits to Lionsgate, Goodsmith could not take Song Zheng's opinion lightly.

Alexander's actions were fast, leaving the company, he contacted Leonardo DiCaprio's agent at the first time, and after explaining his intentions, the other party promised to tell DiCaprio that as for whether to meet or not, it depends on DiCaprio's attitude.

When the agent called, Leonardo DiCaprio was on holiday in the Maldives, another year of empty four, and he also needed a vacation to adjust his condition and prepare for the coming year.

Naked, lying on the beach by the sea, enjoying the winter sun, but Xiao Lizi's heart is not as relaxed and comfortable as it seems.

As a representative of Hollywood's young fame, Xiao Lizi is definitely an alternative, although he will also enjoy life, although there will be times for indulgence, but when it comes to work, he is notoriously serious in Hollywood, and even for a role, he does not hesitate to destroy his image, a prince charming in the minds of fans, can be ruined by himself into a fat uncle in minutes.

"Hey, Jesse, what's the news today!"

Rest was disturbed, Xiao Lizi did not have any dissatisfaction, for him to come, there is no conflict between rest and work.

In fact, even during his vacation in the Maldives, he didn't really leave his work, and his agent would always send him some scripts every now and then, but none of those scripts could satisfy him.

No matter how high the salary offered by the producer, DiCaprio did not nod, for him now, money is not so important, at least it is no longer an essential thing, he has worked hard in Hollywood for so many years, he has long accumulated a lot of wealth, enough for him to enjoy food and clothing for a lifetime.

What can really make him value is only honor now, only the Oscar golden man he has been dreaming about, especially after three consecutive impact defeats, his desire for that trophy has reached a level that he can't understand.

That's almost an obsession.

Now DiCaprio chooses scripts, almost rushing to the Oscar, those purely commercial films, there is no way to arouse his interest, at least before he gets that trophy and becomes famous, he only wants to shoot works that can help him hit the Oscars.

"Leo! I did get a script, but I don't recommend you to play it!"

DiCaprio was still lazy just now, and when he heard the agent say this, he suddenly became interested: "Oh! Why?"

The agent was silent for a while before saying: "I don't know why, it's just that after reading the script, I think that if you want to star in this movie, you must first be prepared to be killed by the director at any time." ”

DiCaprio laughed, "What? Killed? Is it a Chainsaw Killer movie?"

"Leo! Have you seen Michael Penck's "The Revenant"? This script is based on Michael Penck's adaptation, I just read this script, and I feel creepy, the plots described in it have not only been retained by the script, but also upgraded, and after reading this script, my only thought is that this screenwriter is a complete pervert!"

DiCaprio couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he had indeed seen the original version of "The Revenant", which had also been adapted into a movie before, and he still remembered some of the descriptions of the male protagonist Glass surviving in the wilderness.

It's just that the movie was not a success, and it can even be said that the adaptation was very unsuccessful, and the core of the story was completely replaced by wilderness survival and revenge.

"Who gave you the script?"

Although he has basically crossed the horn in his heart, DiCaprio still wants to see what the script that was said to be perverted by his agent is like.

"Lionsgate, but it doesn't seem that they produced it independently, but with a company from China, Leo, have you seen "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds"?"

DiCaprio was taken aback and said, "Are you talking about the Chinese Song Dynasty?"

"That's right, it's him, this script is adapted from the Chinese Song Dynasty, how about it? If you're interested, I can send you the script now, whether you want to meet the other party or not, I'll wait for your news!"

Chinese Song!

DiCaprio was stunned by the news, he naturally remembered that Song Zheng's "Inception" had invited him to play the leading role before, but at that time, he wanted to hit the Oscar and rejected the movie, and the final result proved that his choice was completely wrong, and the movie he starred in during the same period, whether it was the box office or word of mouth, was completely destroyed by "Inception".

For this reason, DiCaprio also regretted it for a long time, although "Inception" could not help him dream of an Oscar in advance, but that movie definitely helped him take his career to the next level.

Just look at the media's evaluation of "Inception", it is a science fiction movie destined to be a classic.

Originally, DiCaprio thought that he was destined to miss Song Zheng, a director from China, but who knew that Song Zheng would send him an invitation again.

Although DiCaprio is still not optimistic about Song Zheng's adaptation of "The Revenant" this time, he does not dare to make a decision easily.

Perhaps, the Chinese Song Dynasty will be able to create a miracle again.

Of course, what made DiCaprio make this decision was the outstanding performance of Song Zheng's "Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" at this year's Golden Globe Awards.

"Alright, Jesse, send me the script now, I'll see it now!"

With that, DiCaprio hung up the phone, got up and left the beach, and walked in the direction of the hotel.
