Chapter 169. [Hollywood Bad Boy]
It is said that Hollywood's "bad boy" Johnny Depp is really sad these days, because he was constantly summoned by the police department for carrying marijuana, although he spent $2,500 on bail pending trial, but it hit his star career very hard.
In fact, it's no secret that Hollywood stars love to smoke marijuana, and many actors and directors use it for inspiration. Depp never considered himself a moral model or an actor pacesetter, on the contrary, he liked that kind of free and easy life. To say that he has never been exposed to marijuana is a lie, when he played rock and roll, he smoked it, but he has rarely touched this kind of thing since the movie. Last time, for filming, he did some, hoping to find out the character feeling of that character, and he never wanted to be caught by the damn patrolman.
I have to say that Depp thinks that he has been very bad lately, and everything is not going well. The newly filmed drama cannot be released on time, many film companies do not want to see themselves, and those Hollywood media also implicitly want to "block" themselves...... Whoever made the relationship with the media very stiff either gave the middle finger to the reporters, or scolded the three generations of the ancestors of those paparazzi reporters.
In short, Johnny Depp feels like a homeless man abandoned by Hollywood, decadent, languishing, and in a state of collapse.
"Depp, I know you're upset, but you still have to drink less!"
In a tavern, Nicolas Cage persuaded Johnny Depp, who had been drinking sullenly, with a wry smile on his face.
Speaking of Cage and Depp's friendship, it is very low-key in Hollywood. Many years ago, Johnny Depp formed a rock band and played super crazy, but unfortunately, he was in debt due to the band's disbandment. At this time, his ex-wife also announced her divorce from him. Give up this hopeless "bad boy". Depp was really miserable at that time. The house was given to his ex-wife, there was no food, no housing, and he was almost like a homeless man.
The ex-wife couldn't bear to see him go down so badly, of course, in private, she felt that she had betrayed Depp and was sorry for him, so she introduced Cage to him. At first, the two of them didn't like each other, but Cage introduced Depp to an agent and made Depp an actor.
During this time, Cage selflessly took care of the down-and-out Depp and lent his house to Depp to live in, but Depp was still young at the time, and took Cage's dozens of dollars to go to the bar in the middle of the night, and later said in an interview: "I have done a lot of bad things, but this is the worst one I have done." ”
As for the future, feng shui takes turns. Cage doesn't know what's wrong with Lu Dao, and he has been taking on films since 2000. Except for "Ghost Rider" and "National Treasure", which are not bad, the other films are really confusing after watching. In fact, since 09, Cage has broken out a series of asset problems such as tax evasion, tax evasion, and investment failure. It seems that his decision-making ability to choose films and daughters-in-law has been contagious to the financial aspect, and in three years, he has gone from a Hollywood real estate tycoon to a bankrupt, so in turn, Depp, who became popular with "Pirates of the Caribbean", gave Cage a blank check with no upper limit.
It can be seen that the friendship between Cage and Depp is very enviable, and Hong Kong singer Eason Chan's famous song "Best Friend" has a bone-to-bone interpretation of long-term old friends: "In the past, I shared you, and it was not enough to drink on my knees, and it was not enough to pour all night, I have been happier than you." There are many things that can only be given to you in this life, and they will be kept until they are eternal, how can others understand ...... clearly"
Generally speaking, friendship is the most important part of life, whether it is a Hollywood star or an ordinary person, so, "after all, it is rare to have the best friend." ”
"Depp, stop drinking!" Seeing Johnny Depp pouring one cup after another, Nicolas Cage snatched the wine glass from his hand, "Man, you can only drink more and more sad, where is the proud Depp in the past?" Drinking is only for fun, not for spoiling the body, you know? ”
The table was full of food, but unfortunately the two of them only moved very little, but they asked for a lot of wine. Two of the bottles of whiskey were empty, and most of them went into Depp's stomach, thanks to his good drink, otherwise it wouldn't be just now.
"Depp, although you are riddled with lawsuits now, it is nothing at all compared to before, yes, man, do you mean that you can't even get through this little difficulty?" Nicolas Cage snatched Depp's wine glass.
Johnny Depp finally restrained his drinking, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Cage, why do you think I've been so unlucky lately?" I've just made the same mistakes that many actors have made, so why are those guys staring at me? For what? ”
Nicolas Cage took a sip of his wine and said, "For what?" The reason is simple, they are jealous of you and hate you! On the flip side, man, you're in a terrible relationship! ”
"Is it bad? I can't be like you, face those bastards and smile, yes, I can't! They are so hypocritical and too pretentious, I hate such people! ”
"I hate it too, man. But we have to face them, because we are actors, they are the media, we have to learn not only to act on the screen, but also to learn to act in life, this is the actor! ”
"Actors? How do I feel like a bitch! Depp smiled wryly.
"You're so immature, my dear Depp. If you want to really get along in Hollywood, you've got to get rid of your damn likes and dislikes! ”
"I can't do it, because then I'm not myself!" Depp shrugged and poured himself another glass of wine.
Nicolas Cage shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Know, man, what I actually like the most is you, no matter what other people think, just be yourself...... Because I'm lacking that! With that, Cage raised his glass and clinked glasses with Depp.
Putting down the wine glass, "If you want, Depp, I can introduce you to the boss of Fox, I've been helping their company make a movie recently, and the people over there are very good!" Nicolas Cage said to Johnny Depp.
"No, no need buddy, I don't want you to worry about me anymore." Depp leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath, "What's more, such a favor will have to be repaid sooner or later, what will you do then?" I don't want to see you embarrassed, and I don't want you to make some bad movies because of me! ”
"Hah, man, what are you talking about? I'm not the kind of guy who has no righteousness, I will definitely accompany you to the very end, even if it is ......" Nicolas Cage said excitedly, "Even if I really have to take on a few bad movies, I don't care!" God, it's been a long time since I've tried to make that kind of bad movie, and I miss it, hehe......"
Johnny Depp interrupted him and said with a wry smile, "I know that you are the most righteous, otherwise you wouldn't have been with me until now." But it's still the same sentence, I'll solve my own affairs, now that I've grown up, I'm no longer the hairy boy who just came to Hollywood! ”
"You guy, no matter how old you are, you're the bad boy in my eyes...... But what do you do next? Cage was still a little worried.
Johnny Depp looked at Cage, who was worried about him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, man, it's okay, I'm looking away now." I was able to make up for everything I didn't have the time and energy to do, yes, to play football, to play rock 'n' roll......"
"Okay then, man, even if it's a vacation, you can rest well and make a comeback in the future!"
"Well, you're right, come, let's have a drink, for the sake of friendship!" Johnny Depp raised his glass, as free and easy as ever.
"For friendship!" The two looked at each other and smiled, raised their glasses and toasted.
There is a kind of friend who does not need to be reciprocated for giving, and does not need to be received for giving; There is a kind of friend that you can forget when you are happy and always think of when you are lonely; There is a kind of friend, ordinary but great, plain but sincere; There is a kind of friend who can always resonate and always have a tacit understanding.
The two who helped each other walked crookedly on the deserted street, shouting twice happily and sadly, startling the people who fell asleep and scolding.
"Dude, you can go back, yes, leave me alone!" Depp said to Cage.
"Hey, are you driving me away, man? Can't you let me stay with you for one night? ”
"How could it be, I was afraid that my dear sister-in-law would call me again and scold me, yes, I was afraid of her!" As he spoke, Depp habitually opened the mailbox and grabbed a handful of letters.
"Look, what the hell is there...... Electricity bill, reminder bill, what is this? Milk Reservation ...... Well, this one is, it's an invitation, Dream Pictures...... Damn, this name is a little familiar......" Johnny Depp opened a pair of drunken eyes and looked at the name on the invitation with a puzzled expression, "FeiYangYi, ha, it's still a Chinese name......"
"Hey, man, what are you looking at, so engrossed?" Nicolas Cage snatched the invitation, looked at the address and name on it, and said very enviously, "It turned out to be that magical magician China Yi, even if he is the most popular recently, I heard that he is going to PK the box office of the next drama with the Wachowski brothers!" ”
China easy?!
That legendary horror director?!
For this mysterious Chinese director, Johnny Depp has heard his story many times.
Filming scares people to death!
Any drama can break 100 million!
The most amazing thing is that he has only been in the industry for more than a year!
Like a comet in the Hollywood sky, it shines so brightly that you can't open your eyes!
Now, is it that such a person sends a letter to invite himself......
Without waiting for Johnny Depp to finish thinking,
"Depp, maybe this time you'll be saved. Yes, man, although he is not a super director yet, his eccentric style and incredible creativity are enough to make you stunned! Nicolas Cage said excitedly, very happy about the turnaround of the good brother.
Yes, China Yi also has a nickname called "Miracle Yang", and he can create miracles the most!
As soon as Johnny Depp thought of this, he secretly decided: go to Dream Pictures tomorrow and try his luck. (To be continued......)
