The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 277: Difficulties

Say goodbye to Tom Cruise, Will Smith, and Jeff Catzenberg. Ronan got on his Bentley and asked David to drive to Century City. He asked the agent of United Elite Brokerage. Meet Rethy Jacobs.

Sitting in the car, Ronan first took out the "Pirates of the Caribbean" script and flipped it over. There were a few conceptual drawings of Captain Jack Sparrow.

This was drawn specially by him.

Now that he has memories of his previous life, Ronan is naturally unable to go around and make detours, making Johnny Depp and the stylist work hard to come up with smoky makeup and other looks. There is no need to waste this time.

The shape and personality of Captain Jack Sparrow have been relatively perfect.

After the Copyright Bureau registered the copyright for the characters and stories, the screenwriter department of Shahai Entertainment further improved the script. Ronan had part of the script for the characters. The main line of the script and the story is the same as that of the previous movies. The specific scenes and details need to be polished .

Even though I’ve seen this movie many times and I’m so impressed, I even remember lines like "You almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow", but Ronan still forgets most of the scenes and needs the screenwriters to play. Imagination and creative ability.

Ronan believes that the biggest problem with this crew is the main creative team and funding.

The latter can be raised slowly through multiple channels, and the former should be finalized this year.

The agent he is going to meet this time is called Tracy Jacobs. Among the clients he represents, he has the most core personnel in the previous life series.

A man who played himself as a captain and a real Jack Sparrow.

Yes, it is the famous Hollywood geek Johnny Depp.

From another perspective, this is also a famous killer in Hollywood.

Even in this age, various deeds of Johnny Depp are widely circulated in Hollywood.

Drug use and drug use can only be regarded as Johnny Depp's daily life when he was young.

Fortunately, Johnny Depp has always been covered by Tim Bolton.

How to manage Johnny Depp in the crew is also a headache. Ronan pulled out Johnny Depp's information and frowned slightly while watching.

Perhaps he is older, and Johnny Depp has performed a lot better in the past two years. This may also be the reason why the former Disney Pictures dared to use Depp to star in a major production.

Otherwise, with such an unstable actor, dare to use the first-line large production crew? Not to mention anything else, the third-party guarantee company that is necessary for financing will not pass.

When I was most awake, I encountered the most suitable role. This was the luck of Disney in the past life, and it was also the luck of Johnny Depp.

Ronan briefly considered it and probably shot the first film. Johnny Depp may not be an element that bothers the crew, but it will be difficult to say later.

There have been too many news and gossip reports in previous lives. Among the first-line actors in Hollywood, Johnny Depp can be said to be a typical disengagement.

During the filming of the sequel, it is commonplace to be a few hours late to release the pigeons of the whole crew. It is a daily practice to be drunk on the set to shoot, and it is a basic operation not to remember the lines when shooting on site.

Many people are criticizing Dongfang’s Xiaohua and Xiao Xianrou for saying "1, 2, 3, 4, 5...". Johnny Depp is not much better. Because he doesn’t remember his lines, the live shooting cannot be completed at all. A pirate superstar simply wore wireless headphones and asked the staff to read his lines outside the set while shooting, and then he followed up...

This is not an isolated case. Johnny Depp has such an amateur-level performance on other sets, which can only be said to be a shock.

And the people who leaked the news were not just ordinary staff on the set, but also Kirsten Dunst and Jessica Chastain.

Just as you must never underestimate the professionalism of Tom Cruise, you must not overestimate the professionalism of Johnny Depp.

Thinking of this, Ronan had a headache.

But in the face of huge commercial interests, these are just some headaches.

Johnny Depp’s professionalism may not be considered for the time being, but in the future we must find ways to restrict it.

Ronan came to Century City and met Tracy Jacobs at the arranged coffee shop.

Originally, Ronan wanted to meet Johnny Depp directly, but the freak asked him to find an agent directly, and had no idea of ​​meeting.

Ronan knew very well that he and Johnny Depp's thinking were not in the same dimension at all, and he didn't care.

"Hello, Mr. Anderson."

Seeing Ronan, Tracy Jacobs took the initiative to greet her and shook hands. Ronan shook the hand she handed over and smiled and said, "Hello, Ms. Jacob."

Tracy Jacobs has the side of a typical agent and said politely: "Just call me Tracy."

She invited Ronan to sit down and looked at Ronan calmly.

At the same time, Ronan was also looking at Tracy Jacobs quietly.

This is a middle-aged woman who belongs to the United Elite Brokerage Company, also known as UTA. She is not well-known in the brokerage circle. The most important client is Johnny Depp.

And she has been acting as Johnny Depp's agent since the early nineties.

To put it simply, Johnny Depp trusts her very much.

Ronan heard from CAA people. Tracy Jacobs and Johnny Depp were both in CAA before. It was until 1998 when Tracy Jacobs moved to UTA and took Johnny Depp away. general.

Now UTA has a huge potential director client named Christopher Nolan.

Unfortunately, Ronan does not have the copyright of Batman, and it is impossible to flicker the copyright of the movie from the hands of Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

Tracy Jacob read Ronan's information carefully before coming, and asked with a smile: "I don't know Ronan, you are looking for me..."

Ronan didn't go in circles, and said directly: "I have a movie project in my hands and I want to collaborate with Johnny Depp."

Tracy Jacob asked again: "Can you know what movie project it is?"

Ronan came over to talk about work, opened his briefcase, took out the script and the few conceptual drawings, and said, "This is part of the character script and character setting artwork. You can show it to Johnny Depp."

Tracy Jacobs took it, turned it quickly, and just glanced at the drawing, frowned, because this was obviously a pirate character!

She didn't speak, opened the character script, and looked at it carefully, but the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, because she was completely sure that this character named Jack Sparrow was a pirate, and a down-and-out pirate captain!

Ronan waited quietly, without meaning to speak.

Tracy Jacobs character script was read less than one-third, so I didn’t want to read it again. I read a few set drawings, smoky makeup, orchid hand, what a pirate?

Originally the pirate character is not mainstream enough, this pirate look is even more alternative!

It is simply the non-mainstream of the non-mainstream!

How does the pirate in this set artwork look like GAY?

Tracy Jacob put down the script and artwork, looked at Ronan, and said, "Is this a pirate theme?"

"Yes." Ronan said directly: "A story about a pirate captain on the Caribbean Sea, with some magic and fantasy elements in it."

Tracy Jacob’s words are full of misgivings, but what he says is very technical: "Ronan, I don’t doubt your project, but the pirate theme is outdated. From Carlock Pictures’ Cut Throat "At the beginning, all pirate movies with a larger investment in Hollywood ended in failure without exception."

Ronan knew what the other party had said and did not refute it. He just smiled and said, "Hollywood has no outdated themes, only films that have failed to make."

Tracy Jacob's eyes twitched slightly, and Ronan's senses became a little worse. This young producer and film company owner has indeed achieved amazing film commercial successes in the past two years, but he has self-confidence. A bit overwhelming, right? Where are the permanent winners in Hollywood? A wrong choice will slide into the abyss.

Just like the Carlock Films back then, how beautiful, "Cut Throat Island" killed them.

By the way, the main creative staff did not end well.

Tracy Jacobs wanted to reject this role, but thought that the opposite was the best of the younger generation of Hollywood producers, and said: "But Hollywood-recognized, market-proven, pirate-themed movies are really gone. "

Ronan thought for a while, and briefly said: ""Black Pirates", "Captain's Blood" and "Treasure Island", the charm of these pirate films today is the same as before, and what I prepared is not a traditional one. I believe "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" will be more in line with the tastes of modern audiences."

Tracy Jacobs shook his head and decided to tell the truth: "Depp is not interested in a pirate character." She said, "Sorry, Mr. Anderson, I must be responsible for Depp's future."

While talking, she pushed back the character script and setting sketches placed on the table.

Ronan did not answer, and said calmly: "Let's do it, Tracy. You take back the character script and the setting sketch, and let Johnny Depp take a look first, how about it?"

Tracy Jacobs is a little hesitant~www.NovelMTL.com~Pirates are the subject matter, if you can't touch it, it's better not to touch it...

But the opposite is also a film company owner and successful producer. He refused in person, not even taking the role script, which seems not very good.

The working styles of brokers are mostly sleek, which is the need of work and the necessity of long-term experience.

Tracy Jacobs is no exception, just after hesitating, she took back the character script and the setting sketch, and said: "I will take it back to Depp for a look, but Ronan, you don’t have to hope. No one in Hollywood likes a pirate role."

Ronan said, "I can wait."

Tracy Jacobs took the initiative to say goodbye and left the cafe soon.

Ronan sighed lightly. This was the negative impact brought about by the decline of the pirate theme, and he also lacked the great appeal of Jerry Bruckheimer and Walt Disney.

This project faces many difficulties.
