Chapter 283: Love Triangle (1)
No one can deny the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean", even if the total investment in several of its films has reached a staggering 800 million, but it has brought a huge profit.
In fact, you only need to look at the salary of Johnny Depp, who plays the male protagonist Captain Jack, to understand a thing or two. He got a sky-high salary of $55.6 million for the fourth part, and of course there are dividends in it, but anyway, he has become one of the highest-paid male stars in later generations.
However, there is also news that his salary is too inflated, and some people have calculated that his movies can earn back an average of $1.2 for $1, which is far less than other top stars. Why is there anyone willing to pay a lot of money for him to star? The reason is "Pirates of the Caribbean", the movie that made him popular all over the world!
Now that Layla has it, it means that the entire series of pirate ships in the future will bring her at least $3.7 billion at the box office, which will also become the cornerstone of her movie empire. This is just a simple box office, counting the income from peripherals, CDs and theme parks that can continue to send her "nutrients", this movie alone can allow her to develop the company!
And most importantly, the importance of the role of the captain. If you want to make Roy the top movie star in Hollywood in the shortest possible time, there is no better role for him than Captain Jack.
Captain Jack's handsome, bohemian, and both righteous and evil performances have a lot of similarities with Roy, and Leila even thinks that the guy's true colors are enough, and he is not needed to show his acting skills at all.
Is Johnny Depp good at acting? To be honest, it's really good, he played a pirate like no other. When he filmed "Edward Scissorhands" and won the Golden Globe, he was already known as a genius. Captain Jack took his charm to the extreme, and then he became popular.
How is Roy's acting? If you give him a score, Leila will give him a 90. This is a pretty high score, his acting skills are a God-given talent, just look at his performance in "SA", really playing a teenager in a desperate situation wonderfully.
It's so good that the audience just watched his performance in the movie and didn't notice his beautiful face.
How do you not let people put an actor in the vase because of his looks? That's it! Let the audience see his character instead of his appearance, which is the best acting performance!
But it is not impossible to say that there are shortcomings, and according to Leila, he still has a lot of room for improvement. Of course, these can be slowly excavated in the future, and movies like "Pirates of the Caribbean" don't actually need too superb acting skills. It's just a commercial film, it's enough to make money, who cares if he can play an Oscar for Best Actor?
The Oscars seem to like deeper themes, such as magic sci-fi commercial films, at most a few small awards such as special effects, soundtracks, photography, makeup, etc., if you want to win the best actor and actress, the best director and the best picture, don't get your hopes up.
Besides, whether it is her or Roy, both of them are hard at age, and even if they make an Oscar-level film, it is unlikely that they will win any awards, so she has not thought about winning awards at all since she made movies.
The next day, Leila wakes up to the chirping of birds outside her window.
She worked too late last night, and if she hadn't known that she still had work during the day, she would have liked to spend the morning in a comfortable bed.
Putting on a pajama coat, she stepped out of the room and smelled the rich, creamy scent of bread.
"Is it bread today? ”
"Yes. It's going to be fine right away, you go wash up. Claire's voice came from the kitchen.
“OK。 Leila yawned and walked slowly to the bathroom.
Americans usually take a shower in the morning, which makes Leila a little uncomfortable for a long time after she was reborn. As a pure oriental soul, she still thinks that washing at night can have a comfortable dream. Later, she learned that she did this because foreigners pay more attention to appearance, and like to make out the best look and go out of the house to go to school or work.
She has always felt that it probably has something to do with the heavy smell of foreigners' hair, otherwise why would the perfume industry abroad be so developed?
Coming out of the bathroom, she sat down at the dining table and saw Claire setting a table for breakfast.
"Why did you think about making toast today?" Leila took a piece of bread and put it in her mouth, the freshly baked bread was fragrant and appetizing. Although she usually eats more Chinese-style breakfast, it is not bad to change the menu occasionally.
Claire placed a glass jar in front of her: "This is the begonia jam sent by Zeni, he highly recommends that you try the bread." ”
"It turned out to be him. Leila nodded, scooping a spoonful with a small spoon and placing it on top of the bread. As soon as she entered her mouth, the sweet and sour taste instantly filled her mouth: "This is not bad." It was the first time she knew that begonia fruit could also be used to make sauce.
Claire saw that she was eating happily, and her smile widened: "If you like it, it's fine." By the way, put the newspaper you want in the living room and read it after eating. ”
"Got it. Leila answered, but the person had already left the table and walked to the couch in front of the TV. But instead of opening the thick stack of newspapers, she turned on the TV and switched between news channels.
Sure enough, on one of the news channels, Leila saw a picture of Nabhani with his name underneath, as well as the identity of the prince and the assets in his hands.
"It seems that those reporters are really capable. "I only saw Nabhani last night, and I have already turned out all the old bottoms of other people this morning.
I also want to know that the reporters are interested in his identity because he appeared on the filming location and appeared at the crew's carnival party. I believe that Fai Ze already knew this news at this time, but I don't know how annoyed her expression would be at this time?
Just fantasizing about the furious Faizz, Lyla laughed happily. While she listened to the news about the prince's energy in their country, she watched her crew and movies pop up in it from time to time to make a familiar face. She has always welcomed this kind of "advertisement" that does not cost money, can have a huge impact and topicality.
But soon she couldn't laugh anymore, her body nestled in the sofa straightened, and the bread in her hand fell directly onto the coffee table.
Because on TV, a photo of her and Fajze was placed on either side of Naibhani, accompanied by a striking subtitle - "Love triangle?"
What the hell is this!, Lyra tried to flip the table.
