Chapter 24: The Gambling

"I, of course I know I'm sorry for Deborah and Indio, woo......" Robert Downey Jr. was poked in the sore spot by Sid, and when he sat down, he burst into tears and snot in a few moments.

This is probably the first time he has confided in someone in so long, and many words that he can't say to people are spit out: "You know, when I was not addicted, I also thought about quitting, but as soon as that addiction came up, my whole body was like being crawled by ants." Every time, every time, I just want to take a puff at most, just one puff, but, as soon as I suck, I can't stop!"

"I even thought about killing myself! But I never had the guts, yes! I'm a selfish bastard, a bastard without guts!"

Robert Downey Jr. pulled his hair in pain, snot and tears mixed together, and his whole face was covered with filthy karma.

Even Ali on the side showed a speechless expression, but Sid watched all this calmly, and it was beyond Sid's expectation to be able to pull out Robert Downey's inner words so quickly.

Although I don't know if this confession is sincere or acting, Sid didn't come to the prison to make friends today.

But after seeing Robert Downey Jr. crying bitterly, Sid couldn't help but take a handkerchief out of his pocket and hand it over.

"Thank you, thank you. Robert Downey Jr. didn't expect Sid to lend a hand, and he thanked him and took the handkerchief.

"Alright, that's all for today. Sid said lightly: "There is a great man who said that true repentance is not regret, but action. If you really want to make your life meaningful, start by cutting off your weakness and incompetence. ”

"A true warrior is not about how many opponents he reaches, but about being able to defeat his past self. ”

When Ali and Sid walked out of the prison, Ali asked curiously, "Sid, which great man said the words of the 'true warrior' just now?"

Sid looked back amusedly, shrugging without saying a word.

"Oh, no—" Ali immediately understood what Sid meant, "it's you!"

"Alright, Ali, the joke is over, we still have some business to do, and we are not here to visit the prison today. Sid whispered a few words to Ali as he spoke.

Ali's eyes lit up, "So that's the real reason why we're here!!That's a great idea, haha!!"

Sid smiled faintly, "So I didn't say it, we also have something to do today." ”

Within hours of Sid and Ali visiting Robert Downey Jr. in prison, several rumors quickly spread in Hollywood circles.

And these ambiguous and specious rumors soon reached the ears of Tracey Jacob.

"What!?? Sid is looking for Robert Downey Jr.'s lone worm to play "Pirates of the Caribbean"?" asked Johnny Depp in surprise.

His agent, Tracey Jacob, nodded silently, "Now this matter is making a lot of noise in circles, and it is said that Sid himself went to the state jail in Southern California with Ali Emmanuel to visit Robert Downey Jr. ”

"Ali Emmanuel!?" Johnny Depp couldn't stop his eyelids from jumping when he heard the name.

In just a few years, Endeavor elite brokerage has risen by storm in Hollywood brokerage circles, and although there are independent regulations for brokerage companies and film companies in the industry, the relationship between Ali Emmanuel and Sid is well known.

If it weren't for the vigorous cultivation of the fire lion, the Endeavor elite would not have owned a large number of emerging Hollywood popular fried chickens so quickly.

Whether it's Jessica Alba or Rishi Witherspoon, both debuted or became famous from the Fire Lion movie.

Everyone knows what it means for Ali and Sid to come forward together.

"No one knows what they said to Robert Downey Jr., but it is said that after they left, Robert Downey Jr. applied for medical parole in a drug rehabilitation center. Tracey Jacob's words made Johnny Depp's heart sink again.

"Sid's eyes are really vicious. Speaking of which, Tracey Jacob had to admit that Sid's vision was fierce.

Although in the previous audition, Johnny Depp showed a natural fit for the role of "Captain Jack", the kind of weird and humorous performance can indeed only be grasped by Depp, who has been immersed in Tim Burton's movies for a long time.

However, if you want to say that Depp is no one else in Hollywood, it is not true, Robert Downey Jr., who played Chaplin in "The Biography of Chaplin" ten years ago, also has the same kind of performance style with humor and funny bags.

He is also one of the few special actors who has never participated in a Tim Burton movie, but can master the scale here.

It's just that this guy has disappeared from Hollywood for nearly ten years, and no one thinks of him for a while, but now that Sid has thrown out this card, he can't help but mess up Johnny Depp and Tracey Jacob for a while.

"No, No, No——!" Johnny Depp angrily hammered the table.

Tracey Jacob's eyes twinkled, and her brow furrowed.

Johnny Depp saw Tracey Jacob's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Just say anything, Tracey." ”

Tracey Jacob had no choice but to speak: "Aside from the problem of drug addiction, Robert Downey Jr. is indeed one of the few spiritual actors in Hollywood who can play weird and riotous roles, and his "Chaplin's Biography", which was shortlisted for the Oscar that year, is the best proof of this. ”

"Are you going to talk for me, or are you going to talk to that bastard and the poisonous bugs?" Johnny Depp asked angrily.

"I'm just telling the truth. Tracey Jacob sighed, "We have to keep our feet on the ground now before we can turn over." And the fact is that now except for the opportunity of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is simply difficult for any big studio to find us to star in A-level commercial blockbusters. ”

"Johnny, you're not young anymore, and now popular fried chicken like Chris Pine and Jessica Alba is the favorite of young audiences. Tracey Jacob's words are hard to hear, but they are true.

"How about I'm going to meet with Henry first, discuss the terms with him, and then we'll make a decision?" Tracey Jacob's tactful words made Johnny Depp nod silently.

————————————————————

When Tracey Jacob returns to the Fire Lion, she is surprised to find that instead of being hosted by Henry, the production manager, she is being taken to a simple and spacious office.

A young man with black hair was waiting for her, "Hi Tracy, long time no see." ”
