Chapter 170. [I'm going to play this play]

Los Angeles, Chinatown, Dream Pictures.

Early in the morning, the secretary told Yi Feiyang that there was an appointment with an actor named Johnny Depp yesterday and wanted to visit him today.

Ha, looks like that invitation has worked! The first thought that flashed through Yi Feiyang's mind was this.

Why would Yi Feiyang take the initiative to invite Johnny Depp to meet? The reason is very simple, he is unwilling to let such an excellent superstar fall into the hands of Lionsgate.

Although Lionsgate and Dream are about to invest in the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" together as partners, in Yi Feiyang's view, filming is secondary, and the most important thing is to poach Depp for his own use!

Yi Feiyang said: Johnny Depp is a very personal person, if he does not encounter a lawsuit, it will be difficult for a company like Dream Pictures to successfully invite him to come to "negotiate". It's not that Johnny Depp has a big spectrum, but because this guy doesn't do things logically, you don't want to use anything to sway him. But now...... After all, Depp has been in Hollywood for so long and has become mature, although the edges and corners of his personality have not been polished, but he is no longer as willful as before.

"Boss, Mr. Johnny Depp has arrived, are you inviting him in?" The secretary knocked on the door and walked in, smiling at Yi Feiyang.

"No, I'll go and greet ...... myself"

Yi Feiyang's move made the secretary feel a little stunned, Dream Pictures has been established for so long, and no one has let him greet him personally, even Gusta, who is the president of Lionsgate. There is no such treatment either.

Johnny Depp, who was waiting outside, didn't expect Yi Feiyang to come out to greet him in person, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Hello, Mr. Depp, I'm Yi Feiyang, you can call me 'Yi'." Yi Feiyang stretched out his hand very kindly. While talking, he looked at the famous "pirate captain" in his previous life, his cheeks were thin, his eyes should be a little short-sighted, and he squinted slightly when he looked at people, and. He's not very tall. Yi Feiyang felt that he was not even tall, but his expression was very nervous, if he put on a pointed hat and rode a broom. You can directly transform into a male wizard.

"Hi. Hello! Depp seems to be very unaccustomed to being treated so warmly. I felt that Yi Feiyang held his hand, generous and powerful. The eyes are burning and seem to be able to see into people's hearts.

This is an energetic guy. Johnny Depp moved his wrist that was almost numb, and secretly labeled Yi Feiyang.

"You think we might as well go to the living room and talk, by the way, what do you want to order, coffee or milk tea?"

"Coffee is fine!"

"GOOD!JENNY, TWO CUPS OF COFFEE!" Yi Feiyang snapped his fingers at the female secretary, and then Depp walked towards the living room.

"How did you feel when you first came to our company?" After sitting down, Yi Feiyang asked Depp how he felt.

Depp smiled, "It's pretty good, yes." ”

"Are you interested in working with our company?"

"What?" Depp didn't expect Yi Feiyang to be so direct.

Yi Feiyang shrugged, "That's right, our company is going to co-produce a movie with Lionsgate, I think the role of the actor is very suitable for you, so I recommended it to Mr. Gusta over there, but I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"But what am I for you? I mean, you have so many choices, but you chose me, and you should understand my recent situation, which is full of lawsuits and troublesome. Depp is quite down-to-earth, and he directly told his old bottom.

Yi Feiyang smiled, "I'm thinking about the role, not lawsuits and scandals!" If you're suitable, I'll choose you, it's as simple as that! ”

For Yi Feiyang's crisp and neat answer, Depp admired it a little, men, you should do this, mother-in-law and mother are so annoying.

"So may I ask, what is the theme of this play?"

"Pirates! Specifically, it belongs to fantasy films! ”

"What about the story?"

Yi Feiyang knows that Daode Pu is very picky about the script, as long as the script has his appetite, he is willing to act even if the salary is low, on the contrary, if the script is not his appetite, even if you offer him a sky-high price, he may not necessarily accept it. It can't be helped, that's one of the reasons why he's called a "Hollywood freak" for something.

"Oh, dear friend, this is the outline of the story I wrote, you can read it first!" Yi Feiyang handed over the script in advance.

Depp took the script, flipped through it, and then read it carefully.

During this time, the female secretary knocked on the door and came in with two cups of coffee.

Yi Feiyang motioned to her not to disturb Depp to read the script, and just put the coffee down.

Time passed slowly, and Depp read the script very seriously, looking like a crazy novel fan, reading his favorite novels.

Yi Feiyang gently picked up the coffee cup, drinking coffee while paying attention to Depp's expression.

Depp's brows flickered, he touched his nose from time to time, saw something interesting, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it was obvious that this script was very much to his liking.

Yi Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, in his previous life, Johnny Depp was reluctant to play the role of Captain "Jack" at first, and the person the director fancied was not Depp...... Michael. Keaton, Kim. Carey and Christopher. Walken was once the candidate to play Captain Jack. It's a pity that these three male stars are either inappropriate or seasick, and the most helpless director Gore found Depp,

But Depp's first sentence after reading the script was: "Shit! ”

This made Gore angry and asked him, "What shit is for you?" ”

Depp said: "I mean the role I'm going to play is shit!" ”

"Hah, what kind of person do you think Captain Jack should be?"

So Depp said the role in his mind, uninhibited, both good and evil...... The two argued like this, which contributed to the success of this play.

At present, the script that Yi Feiyang handed over to Depp is the product of the dispute between Depp and Gore in the previous life, and it can almost be said that it is written by copying Depp's personal ideas, do you say it can not suit his appetite?

About ten minutes later.

Johnny Depp took a deep breath, closed the script outline, and said to Yi Feiyang: "Man, this script is great!" Especially the character of Captain Jack, I feel like I'm a shadow of myself! Yes, that's what it feels like, it's kind, it's familiar! ”

Nonsense, the play itself is tailor-made for you, can it not be kind?! Yi Feiyang thought so in his heart, and said: "Hehe, it seems that you are very satisfied with this role, but before you accept this role, I still need to put forward one condition......"

Yi Feiyang's sudden sentence made Depp slightly stunned, "Conditions? What are the conditions? ”

Depp was really confused by Yi Feiyang, although he is not a big-name star, and his career has not been very smooth recently, but it is good that he is willing to take over this drama, and the other party even has to put forward conditions......

"It's a simple condition, but it may be a bit ...... for you I hope you can do your teeth, you know, you play a pirate role that needs to have very special teeth, whether it is when you are talking or smiling, to give the audience an intuitive feeling that is...... He's a pirate! Yi Feiyang said very seriously.

In fact, in his previous life, in order to be able to play the role of a pirate vividly, Johnny. Depp asked the dentist to set himself with 4 gold teeth, one 14K gold, one 18K gold, one 22K gold, and the last one was white gold.

But now Yi Feiyang took the initiative to ask him to correct his teeth, which made Depp a little overwhelmed.

Damn, I haven't started the show yet, so I put forward such a strange condition, this China Yi is really interesting!

Johnny Depp touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then asked: "If I don't agree to this condition, can't I be the leading actor in this play?" ”

Yi Feiyang shook his head, "No, you're still the hero, it's just ...... It's a little far from the actor in my mind. ”

Depp suddenly smiled, and smiled pleasantly.

"Oh my God, I've finally met someone who is harsher than me!" He said, "To be honest, I actually came here just to try my luck, but I didn't expect to meet such a great script and see such a great character...... I like him, I love the character of Captain Jack, and I agree with your suggestion to fix your teeth in order to flesh out the character! ”

"Then again, man, I really don't know if you and I are heart-to-heart, but before you made this condition, this thought crossed my mind, and I asked myself, what should Captain Jack look like? Dirty, scruffy, or raunchy? Eventually, I noticed a lot of tooth problems in the portrayal of pirates in the movies, most of these guys have gold teeth, gold tooth pirates, they look rough, savage, brave, and ...... Greedy! ”

Johnny Depp gushes about his opinion of the character "Captain Jack".

His thinking jumps very fast, sometimes Yi Feiyang can't even keep up with his jump, fortunately, Yi Feiyang "knows the roots" of his role, and occasionally says a few words, which are basically the essence, which makes Depp constantly stunned, too penetrating, too penetrating, he has never met a screenwriter who can make the characters in his script so full and three-dimensional, as if this character is not just created, but standing in front of him, a living person!

Yi Feiyang's talent "unintentionally" showed completely impressed Johnny Depp.

In Depp's view, Hollywood's evaluation of Yi Feiyang is very correct, and China Yi is definitely an unparalleled genius!

Therefore, after talking about the characters in the script, Johnny Depp took the initiative to hold Yi Feiyang's hand and said: "Dear Yi, if nothing else, just for the character of Captain Jack, I will play this play!" (To be continued......)
