"Hello, Mr. Keaton. Sid smiled and greeted the somewhat bowed middle-aged man across the table.

"Hello, Mr. Leon. The casting director on the other side was the first candidate for "Captain Jack" at Sid's request.

This Michael Keaton, if there are Marvel fans, may shout "Vulture", yes, he is the villain "Vulture" in "Spider-Man Homecoming".

But in fact, Michael Keaton's earliest famous character is actually the classic character "Batman" of DC Comics, or he is the real "original Batman"!

But after resigning from "Batman 3" that year, Michael Keaton became a star, and in nearly ten years, he quickly became a second-rate actor.

After Sid sent out the special effects, costumes, sets and other content, he immediately carried out the casting of the main characters, and after quickly selecting Captain Barbossa, General Norrington and other important supporting roles according to the original character list, the main role of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is now left with the role of "Captain Jack".

This also "forced" Sid to personally participate in the final casting, and the casting director Ze recommended three candidates to Sid for "the original Batman" Michael Keaton, "comedy god" Jim Carrey, and "villain professional" Christopher Walken.

But to be honest, Sid wasn't very happy with all three of them.

For Sid, Christopher Walken is too old, and Michael Keaton's acting style is rigorous and serious, which does not fit the role of the coquettish and funny Captain Jack at all, but is more suitable for villain-type roles.

As for Jim Carrey, who was recommended in the end, his comedy performance style is not bad, but on the one hand, his comedy performance style is too easy to overdo it, after all, Jim Carrey's nonsensical comedy style is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Sid is afraid that he will not be able to handle the scale of Captain Jack.

And this, after Sid asked him to try to "his orchid fingers" and play the sassy Captain Jack, Jim Carrey's slightly thin performance showed his shortcomings.

What's more, when everyone sees Jim Carrey's face, they want to laugh, and it is difficult for the audience to accept that he plays a different role than before.

In addition, Jim Carrey is still a standard first-line celebrity, and his salary and dividends in comedy are no less than Tom Cruise.

So, in the end, Sid still asked about a certain current second-rate actor.

"I'm not happy with all three. Sid said directly to the casting director.

This can't help but make the casting director have a big head, she and her team have gone through all the actors of Hollywood age and meet Sid's requirements, and only then did they select Michael Keaton, Jim Carrey and Christopher Walken.

Now Sid's dissatisfaction has wiped out their previous work, which can't help but give her a headache.

Sid looked at the casting director's wry smile and decided not to embarrass the other party anymore, so he said directly: "What about Johnny Depp?"

"Johnny Depp?" the casting director was stunned for a moment before remembering this former "rising star", of course, has now become a flower of tomorrow.

Speaking of Johnny Depp, we have to mention his series of "glorious deeds" in the 8th and 90s of the last century.

It is said that if you want to enter the industry in Hollywood, you generally have to have a master or nobleman to support you, even if it is a "monster" like Sid, you must also use the channel of gold agent Ali Emmanuel to enter Hollywood.

And Johnny Depp's noble man is the Oscar winner Nicolas Cage, who was later in the limelight.

Taking advantage of Cage's east wind, Johnny Depp starred in the movie for the first time, starring in "Edward Scissorhands" directed by Tim Burton, with this classic gothic role, Johnny Depp became famous in Hollywood.

Later, in "Bonnie and Joan", "Different Sky", and "Don Juan", he showed his talent for comprehensive role control, and was worshiped as a male god by countless girls.

But when the time entered the 90s, Johnny Depp, who was addicted to playing with Tim Burton, was quite obsessed with weird characters.

In order to collaborate with Tim Burton on the alternative black and white film "Ed Wood", he pushed down the famous "Burning Years".

Then he burst with self-confidence, and in order to write, direct, and act in "The Adventures of Hero Boys", he rejected James Cameron's "Titanic". And this movie, which he directed and acted in, did not even enter the cinema for release.

At the same time, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, and Ryvan Phoenix, who were in their prime at the time, were called the three major playboys in Hollywood. The three good friends oversmoked together and floated too long together, but in the end, Ryvan Phoenix died at the door of Johnny Depp's bar due to oversucking.

This is when he and Keanu Reeves wake up from their addiction to solitude.

Keanu Reeves was lucky enough to take over "Life and Death" and "The Matrix", allowing him to make a comeback. And Johnny Depp, who missed two great opportunities, naturally disappeared from people's sight.

In addition, time has entered the 21st century, and a new generation of actors has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the popular film style is also very different from before.

The original "rising star" has become a second-rate actor who can only appear in small and medium-budget movies, and such people are everywhere in Hollywood.

The loud phone ringing woke Johnny Depp from a hangover headache.

"Damn—" He struggled to move his body on the bed while holding his head, when the woman next to him suddenly sat up, and then he felt a lightness around him, and a sound of footsteps from near to far went into the distance.

Then the noisy phone finally stopped, and after a moment of silence, the familiar footsteps returned, and then a delicate body of warm nephrite was close to his arms, and a female voice with a French accent woke him up: "Honey, it's Tracey's call, she said there was an emergency." ”

"Urgent?" Johnny Depp finally opened his eyes and saw an exotic beauty in front of him, and then he immediately stopped the beauty with a smile, "I think there is a more important urgent matter to solve in the morning." ”

"Don't make a fuss. The exotic beauty smiled and slapped Johnny Depp's claws, and then stuffed the phone into his hand, "Listen to Tracy's tone, it seems really important, you can listen to it first." ”
