Chapter 167 Obsession

"Hoo ~~~~~~~~"

After reading the script sent by his agent in one go, DiCaprio couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and fell into a contradiction in his heart against the sea breeze blowing hard.

Should I accept the invitation to star in this movie?

If purely from the quality of the script, there is no doubt that Song Zheng's adaptation of "The Revenant" is very successful, especially the portrayal of the character of Glass, DiCaprio is very excited when he watches it.

In particular, Song Zheng's special treatment of Glass, in which Glass doesn't even have a single line, and if he wants to express this role, he can only rely on body movements, expressions, eyes, and even breathing.

Even just thinking about it, DiCaprio found it interesting, and if he played the role, it would definitely be a very interesting challenge.

However, DiCaprio hesitated, mainly because if he played the role of Glass, it would be very cruel for him to physically challenge.

The most difficult thing for DiCaprio to accept is that he is a vegetarian, but in the story, he is required to eat raw fish and shrimp, eat raw animal offal, and hide in the carcass of horses to keep warm.

"That guy is really a pervert!"

DiCaprio took a deep puff of his cigarette and exhaled a thick smoke that he didn't know what to decide.

If he wanted to make it easier for himself, the best choice was to give up the script, but DiCaprio was not reconciled, and he could almost conclude that the film would definitely help him chase the statuette.

DiCaprio thought about it for a while, but finally took out his mobile phone and called his agent, and the call was connected.

"Leo, I think you should have made a choice now, right?"

DiCaprio smiled and said, "Jesse, what is your opinion? You should want me to do this movie, right?"

The agent paused for a moment and laughed: "If from my professional point of view, I don't want you to act in this movie, the difficulty of this movie will definitely make you have no energy to do other things, and it will definitely affect you, as well as my income, but, as your friend, Leo, I know how eager you are to get that little golden man, and this movie is your best chance!"

DiCaprio couldn't help frowning and said, "You're so optimistic about this movie?"

You should know that Chinese Song is not only an excellent director, he is also an excellent actor, a former double actor in Cannes and Berlin, and his achievements in his acting career are enough for many actors to look up to. ”

"What the hell are you going to say?" DiCaprio seemed to understand, but he was a little confused, and couldn't help but ask.

"What am I going to say, my God! Leo! It's so hard that you can't even figure out such a simple truth? He can play this movie himself, although he is not the author of the original book, but this is his adapted script, and in his story, no one knows the character of Glass better than him, but why would he let you play it?"

DiCaprio was stunned, the agent said too much, so he couldn't react for a while.

"Maybe in his heart, there is no one more suitable for this role than you, and you are the only person to play this role!"

The agent's last words made DiCaprio, who was still hesitating, tilt the balance in his heart.

It's just that~~~~~~~

"I can stick to other challenges, Jesse, you should know my professionalism as an actor, but ~~~~~ some challenges ~~~~~~"

"Leo, forget that you're a vegetarian, and if you still want to get that little golden man, you'll have to make any sacrifice, including one you can't imagine, you'll have to accept it!"

The agent didn't give DiCaprio time to hesitate at all, and loudly encouraged, of course, he didn't do it entirely for DiCaprio's acting career, but more importantly for himself.

Although DiCaprio now has a high popularity in the international film industry, he is still a line away from the real top actor, and this line is the Oscar statuette.

You must know that Hollywood is the most realistic place, whether or not it has that little golden man is directly related to the division of actors' grades, and those producers often pay their salaries through the division of actors' grades when selecting actors.

Even DiCaprio is the same, don't look at his super popularity, but because he does not have the crown of Oscar, he is always one step away from the top actor, and this step represents many things, the most intuitive is the salary, money, and interests.

Therefore, the Oscar winner is not only an obsession in DiCaprio's heart, but also for his agent.

As an insider, agent Jesse can naturally see what Song Zheng's script represents, isn't this kind of tone what those people in the academy like the most?

"Alright, Jesse, don't talk about it, how do I contact China Song? I want to hear what he has to say?"

On the Lionsgate side, DiCaprio has no interest in contacting him at all, the other party is a businessman, and there is no way to understand his art, but Song Zheng is different, the double actor of Cannes Berlin, in terms of professionalism, DiCaprio does not dare to say that he will be stronger than Song Zheng.

The agent was stunned by DiCaprio's question, and then couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Okay! I will get the contact information of China Song as soon as possible!"

With that, the agent hung up.

Putting down the phone, DiCaprio, looking at the darkening sky outside, his mind was a little confused, while supporting him to take the script, but on the other hand, he was constantly persuading him to give up the script and choose a more relaxed life.

You are still very young, and you still have many opportunities to hit the Oscar in the future, so there is no need to rush at all.

When DiCaprio was about to be shaken by the voice in his heart, the phone rang, a text message was sent, looking at the number on it, the original wavering mind disappeared immediately, and pressed it without hesitation.

"Hey, I'm Song Zheng!"

DiCaprio didn't understand what Song Zheng said, but he still understood the word "Song Zheng", took a deep breath, and said, "Hello! Director Song, I'm Leonardo DiCaprio!"
