Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

The establishment of the Pirates of the Caribbean project is naturally not so simple.

Originally, Pirates of the Caribbean was made by Disney Company in consideration of the small number of tourists in its own amusement park pirate ride project, and tried to make a promotional film that would help its own amusement park project.

Later, the pirate pleasure ship project was officially renamed Pirates of the Caribbean, and many interactive games such as treasure heist elements were added.

It is enough to prove how much benefit Disney has gained in this project.

That's more revenue than Pirates of the Caribbean box office, which is why Kevin chose to shoot Pirates of the Caribbean early.

However, Kevin is not in a hurry to authorize in this regard, in fact, MGM itself has the existence of an amusement park, located in Las Vegas.

However, compared with Disneyland, it is undoubtedly a lot worse.

In the future, after he masters Marvel, or MGM, that time is the time to deeply develop these IPs.

Until then, he must firmly control the external authorization of Pirates of the Caribbean in his own hands.

In fact, for Pirates of the Caribbean, Kevin takes much more seriously than what Mission Impossible and Chainsaw and Desperate.

No matter what time it is, fantasy IP is always more powerful than urban themes.

For that kind of fantasy and magnificent world, people all over the world have a common yearning.

.....

There was an assistant running, and Kevin's whole person was much more relaxed.

In addition to going out to buy every few days, all the chores Kevin handed over to Ellie to run, and Ellie was willing to give Kevin's orders.

Although tired, Ellie was able to reach countless big people from these processes that she had no access to before.

This is a child of an ordinary middle-class family like her, a character completely out of reach, which has countless benefits for her future development in Hollywood.

As for Kevin, after having an assistant, of course, he enjoys life in the villa.

At the same time, I was thinking about the plot of Pirates of the Caribbean.

In the first Pirates of the Caribbean, the original hero and heroine were actually Elizabeth Swan, the daughter of the governor, and Will Turner, the apprentice of the blacksmith.

This point is guessed by most people from the plot scenes.

But after the movie was released, Jack Sparrow's charm conquered everyone.

The original hero and heroine were completely covered up under his light.

At that time, in fact, Pirates of the Caribbean already had only one protagonist, that is, Captain Jack Sparrow.

In theory, he would better use the original Jack Sparrow, that is, Johnny Depp.

But...

Can Chinese New Year's Eve-year-old Johnny Depp show the superb acting skills and character charm that he should have shown in Pirates of the Caribbean ten years later.

This made Kevin somewhat suspicious.

As for Johnny Depp's disrepute, Kevin, as an outsider, is not very good to comment.

The matter between him and his ex-wife was boiling over and flipped many times at the same time.

Discerning people seem to have multiple capitals behind it, and the final result is Johnny Depp, who was removed from the Pirates of the Caribbean.

All this seems to be in name, but it is not easy to say whether Disney no longer wants to bear Depp's high salary and box office share.

In order to make sense to restart the Caribbean series.

But if Depp is really a scumbag, it is not impossible.

But at least, Depp at this time was more betrayed.

Not yet a scumbag at that time, a villain boycotted by Hollywood.

Thinking of this, Kevin no longer hesitated.

Although he did not have any friendship with Depp, Depp and Nicolas Cage had an unusual friendship in his memories of his previous life.

It's definitely okay to contact Cage with Johnny Depp.

But thinking of this, Kevin's face was slightly embarrassed.

Said that a good movie for Nicolas Cage turned out to be delayed again and again because of various variables.

Or, by the way, ask Cage if he wants to play Captain Jack Sparrow?

With this idea, Kevin directly took the Pirates of the Caribbean plan and walked towards Nicolas Cage's villa.

....

Among Nicolas Cage's villas.

Cage is admiring his collection.

As a superstar, his income is very substantial, with an annual income of tens of millions of dollars, which is enough to support any luxury of his life.

What he likes most is investing in real estate, buying luxury cars, and collecting comics.

Of course, something strange will always arouse his desire to collect.

For example, the young Tyrannosaurus rex skull fossil in front of him is like a priceless treasure in his eyes, of course, the person who sold it to him did not recognize the goods, and he only spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy this skull.

"Ding-dong!"

When the doorbell rang, Cage came to the monitor and saw Kevin, who suddenly came to visit.

As a neighbor, the initial visit to Cage was only a courtesy acquaintance.

But soon, after learning about Kevin's experience, he developed an appreciative mind.

In this way, after some contacts, he and Kevin became good friends with a lot of age difference.

Facing Kevin's arrival, he was also very happy and hurried to the door.

"Hello, Kevin!"

"Cage!"

The two hugged, and then walked into Cage's villa together.

Unlike Kevin's villa, Cage's villa is much larger, and there are many Roman statues in the courtyard.

It looks completely different from the villa of the average person.

Kevin, who was not used to it too early, did not care about those, but just handed the project proposal in his hand to Cage.

Then he took out a bottle of top-quality wine from Cage's refrigerator, took out two glasses, and poured two.

Only then quietly waited for Cage to slowly watch the script.

"Pirates of the Caribbean?"

Cage frowned and looked at the script carefully.

The script is actually not complicated, which is also the usual story rhythm of big-budget movies.

From this point of view, Kevin did not engage in anything unconventional.

On the contrary, it is a very mature commercial film director, but to be honest, Cage and commercial film directors do not have much contact with at present.

Cage is now pursuing more challenging roles.

Of course, in layman's terms, in fact, the goals of the films he is choosing now are all aimed at winning awards.

There is no such pure commercial film as Pirates of the Caribbean.

However, I have to say that he felt the charm of Captain Jack Sparrow from the script alone, and he could think that this would inevitably be another classic character in film history.

This couldn't help but make him hesitate.

But in the end, Cage sighed.

Although he really wanted to play it, it was hard for him to imagine what a sissy pirate captain would look like in him.
