Zhang Fan was on one side of the case, while Johnny Depp and Bohm were on the opposite side. All three of them were now standing still and not talking, and Johnny Depp's undressing had stopped.

After a while, Johnny Depp slowly turned to look at Zhang Fan, who was standing not far away. Although the lights here are dim and Zhang Fan's appearance is not clear, the meaning of this name has made Johnny Depp completely sober up from the anesthesia of alcohol.

"Zhang Fan? Is that Zhang Fan? Johnny Depp looked at Zhang Fan with some uncertainty.

"I'm Zhang Fan." Zhang Fan laughed, "But I don't know which one you're referring to?" ”

"This is Mr. Zhang Fan." Bohm came to Zhang Fan's side and introduced Johnny Depp to "shoot who can become a millionaire, Iron Man, the Avengers." The Mr. Zhang who owns Pixar! ”

Bohm's mood was also impatient. Under normal circumstances, no investor or director would like to see an actor like this. If it was someone with a bad temper, maybe he would have left directly before!

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang." After forcibly waking up from the anesthesia of alcohol, Johnny Depp's expression was visibly flustered. He naturally knows Zhang Fan's reputation in Hollywood, and now coming to him is like pie in the sky. But his appearance is very likely to leave a bad impression on Zhang Fan, and once he loses the opportunity to appear in Zhang Fan's works, Johnny Depp will definitely be depressed to the point of going crazy.

"Can we talk about that now?" Zhang Fan didn't get angry, just asked with a smile.

"Absolutely." Johnny Depp hurriedly cleaned up the messy environment around him. Bottles of wine, cigarettes, all kinds of fruits, and even some feminine products were all thrown away. Bohm on the side also stepped forward to help. After all, the actor and his agent are essentially one.

Things can be cleaned up quickly, but the smell of alcohol and smoke mixed with other strange smells in the air does not dissipate so easily.

"Mr. Zhang, why don't we change places?" Looking at Johnny Depp, who was a little at a loss, Bohm stepped forward to ask.

"It's okay, just talk about it." Zhang Fan shook his head and sat down on the sofa.

"I'm Johnny Depp." Johnny Depp, who came to his senses, sat down on the side and introduced himself to Zhang Fan: "I don't know what Mr. Zhang is looking for me?" ”

"I'm going to make a series of films recently." Zhang Fan calmly recounted his intentions, "It is a series of pirate-themed movies. I think you're very suitable to play the role of the pirate captain in the film, so I came here to invite you to join the crew. ”

After listening to Zhang Fan's words, Johnny Depp and Bohm glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

If someone else had come and said these things, Johnny Depp would not have been so happy. But Zhang Fan is different. Zhang Fan may not feel much about himself, but every movie he has made that has been a big success is called a legend throughout Hollywood.

At least until Zhang Fan fails, any actor who wants to get ahead will want to work with him. At this time, Zhang Fan took the initiative to come to the door, which was like an angel for Johnny Depp.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your kindness." Johnny Depp didn't wait for his agent to speak, and took the initiative to respond: "I really hope to be able to cooperate with Mr. Zhang." ”

Bohm glared at Johnny Depp, confessing so directly, and then the contract negotiation will be at a disadvantage!

Regarding the matter of cooperating with Zhang Fan, neither Johnny Depp nor Bohm has any opinions, or even can't ask for it. However, unlike the eager Johnny Depp, Bohm wants to fight for better treatment for his actors.

"Mr. Zhang." Johnny Depp ignored his agent and asked Zhang Fan directly, "I want to ask, is this pirate-themed movie of yours a literary film?" ”

Johnny Depp has long been abandoned by the mainstream film market over the years, and he has no opportunity to perform except in some literary films. He has already vomited in literary films now, and he really doesn't want to make this type of movie anymore.

Zhang Fan smiled and shook his head: "I don't seem to have ever made a literary film, right?" This movie is not a literary film, it is an authentic commercial blockbuster, and it is also a series. ”

"Series?" Johnny Depp was slightly stunned: "Trilogy? ”

"Nope." Zhang Fan shook his head: "It is estimated that the shooting plan is five." ”

'Shh~~~' Johnny Depp and Bohm both inhaled sharply.

This is a commercial film, not a low-cost literary film. The production cost of commercial films is very terrifying, plus the publicity, copying and distribution costs of each film. Every big-budget commercial film can't be said to be a big-budget without an investment of more than $100 million.

And Zhang Fan is going to shoot as many as five films in one go, which is really a very terrifying thing. So much investment, and it's still a pirate genre that's not popular with the market. If it weren't for Zhang Fanlai's investment in production, Johnny Depp would think that it would be something that only a madman would do.

Zhang Fan is not a madman, he has a golden finger. That's why I dared to invest so much in five films in one go.

"Don't believe me?" Zhang Fan chuckled, took out a cigarette and gave one to Johnny Depp.

"Not really." Johnny Depp skillfully lit a cigarette, and after putting away the lighter, he remembered that Zhang Fan was also a smoker. Hurriedly took out the lighter again and lit it for Zhang Fan, and then spoke: "In Hollywood, no one will not believe you." Because you've proven yourself with strength. ”

Hollywood is a real world that only believes in strength, and people with strength will be recognized no matter what they do.

"Hmm." Zhang Fan smiled and nodded, "I'm a person who speaks more directly, and I'll be straightforward in terms of treatment." What I give is the bottom line, if you can accept it, then we will talk about the script and the preliminary training later. If you can't accept it, then you will have the opportunity to cooperate again next time. ”

If Johnny Depp can't accept the salary offered by Zhang Fan, there will be no possibility of cooperation in the future. Zhang Fan said this is just a scene. It's not that Zhang Fan has a small belly, because Johnny Depp refuses and is unwilling to cooperate anymore. It's because Johnny Depp doesn't have any outstanding works other than Pirates of the Caribbean!

Zhang Fan's vision of investment is not very high, if there is no gold finger, he is just an ordinary person. is like Johnny Depp at this time, Zhang Fan knew that he could play Captain Jack Sparrow, so he came to him. If it weren't for the Pirates of the Caribbean, he wouldn't have looked for Johnny Depp.

"Twelve million dollars. Twenty-five percent increase per film. "Zhang Fan offered his own price" This salary is definitely very fair for the current Depp. ”

Not only is it fair, but it is simply beyond expectations. Now Depp has been in the middle of small-budget literary films because of his depression over the years, and his salary has never gone up at all. Johnny Depp was still thinking in his heart that even if Zhang Fan gave a salary of more than $8 million, he would already be satisfied. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan not only gave more, but also gave follow-up room for growth. This is simply a joy for Depp.

Zhang Fan's bidding code is stuck on the psychological bottom line of these actors. Doesn't give too much and doesn't make them feel too little.

Even if these actors want to star in their own films, if the price offered is too small, even if they really agree to star, their investment will definitely be affected and the quality of the film will be affected. And if you shoot a sequel later, it is estimated that the increase in salary can be related to a few months.

Rather than that, it's better to give them a price that is enough to impress them at the beginning, and thus lay the foundation for everything. With sufficient salary guarantee, the actors will definitely be more engaged in filming, because they all want to become famous with movies and the income from subsequent films.

The world is real, and money is the foundation of most things.

As an agent, Bohm instinctively wanted to open his mouth to say something. But Zhang Fan raised his hand to interrupt before he could speak, "Don't speak, this is my final condition." Don't bargain, don't do things that don't work in a word. ”

Facing Zhang Fan's strength, Bohm frowned slightly. However, after glancing at Johnny Depp, who was already full of excitement on the side, he finally nodded helplessly.

If it were anyone else, Bohm wouldn't be so angry. If they can't talk about anything, what else do they need to do? It's definitely nice to do it directly by the actors themselves. If it works, accept it, and if it doesn't, pull it. There is no such thing as a broker. How could Bohm possibly accept it?

It's just that the person facing Zhang Fan at this time is Zhang Fan, and Johnny Depp needs a chance to turn over too much now. Even if Bohm was not satisfied in his heart, he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

But at this time, Bohm had already prepared himself in his heart. Once Johnny Depp becomes popular with Zhang Fan's movies, he must talk to Zhang Fan about the salary increase!

Even if it is an agreed salary, it is not impossible to negotiate, the difference is only in the importance and fame. Once Johnny Depp really becomes popular, it will naturally be much more confident to use the follow-up shooting of this series as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Zhang Fan than now.

Bohm's idea is indeed very good, after all, in such a series with a huge investment, investors usually rarely get the whole project into trouble because they think that the salary is nothing compared to the overall investment. It's more important to get your film shot on time than to add millions of dollars to your salary.

Doing business is all about making money, especially when the capital is not much, and everything is easy to discuss. Even Zhang Fan's film company at this time could hardly afford a huge loss of more than a billion dollars. Of course, not many companies can afford to lose this kind of money.

Of course, Bohm wouldn't really instigate Johnny Depp to ruin the series, after all, if they did, the anger of revenge from Zhang Fan would be unbearable. All they want is a little more pay.

But this kind of idea is difficult to realize in front of Zhang Fan.
