Friday, January 7th.

[Pirates of the Caribbean 2] premiere.

Disney Pictures took Zhang Nan's preferences into consideration and held the premiere at the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood.

on the red carpet.

Zhang Nan showed up in the same way as before - waving to the fans on both sides of the red carpet with a smile, and then walked quickly down the red carpet.

There were old paparazzi on both sides of the red carpet who released the shutter of their cameras, looked at Zhang Nan's back and said with emotion: "Other celebrities can't wait to make all the twists and turns on the red carpet, or not even one step." She stood still and took pictures, but this one did the exact opposite. Many of her peers who didn’t have good photography skills were forced to change careers because they couldn’t capture her red carpet photos.”

After hearing this, many paparazzi nodded with deep understanding.

……

Inside the theater.

Zhang Nan walked in quickly and was quickly surrounded by a crowd of people.

This is also normal. After all, he was the main star in the promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

But Zhang Nan was already very good at dealing with situations like this, so with a few skilled moves, he was able to get rid of the people surrounding him.

As a result, as soon as a group of people were dismissed, Johnny Depp and his agent came together.

"Zhang," Johnny Depp greeted.

Hearing Johnny Depp's greeting, Zhang Nan couldn't help but react. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and praised Johnny Depp: "I watched [Charlie and the Chocolate Factory], and you were so evil in it." Typical performance style, very distinctive.”

When Johnny Depp heard this, he smiled smugly at first, and then thought about "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" which was supposed to be released in July. Under the pressure of "Jurassic Century 1" starring Zhang Nan, he was Being forced to change the schedule, he quickly lowered his head and said implicitly: "The script is better."

Johnny Depp is not a reserved person.

It's not that he has an arrogant personality, but his personal temperament is a little weird.

For example, spending millions of dollars to send a friend's ashes to the sky in a cannon according to the friend's last wish.

If you are not a weird person, you can't do it at all.

But no matter how weird a person is, they can't help but be reserved when they are crushed by absolute strength.

Because I can't be arrogant at all.

[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory] has done well at the box office, taking in more than 4 million US dollars worldwide, close to [-] million US dollars.

But "Jurassic World 1" in the same period grossed US$16.5 billion at the global box office.

[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory] is not even a fraction of [Jurassic World 1].

Moreover, it is not Zhang Nan’s first time that [Jurassic World 1] has exceeded one billion U.S. dollars in global box office.

The most important thing is, if the results of [Pirates of the Caribbean 1] were not as good as those of Zhang Nan.

Well, Johnny Depp, relying solely on the global box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" of more than 7 million US dollars, might be able to show off in front of Zhang Nan.

But the current situation is——

[Pirates of the Caribbean 1] Zhang Nan is the main character.

[Pirates of the Caribbean 2], Zhang Nan was hired by Disney Pictures at a cost of US$6.1 million.

Judging from the salary, Zhang Nan is undoubtedly the leading figure and core figure in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. He, Johnny Depp, is just an important puzzle piece in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

In this case, Johnny Depp was really beaten in all directions in front of Zhang Nan, and he couldn't stand up at all.

Zhang Nan was a little surprised when he saw Johnny Depp's implicit answer, thinking that Johnny Depp might be a little restrained.

In addition, his contribution to "Pirates of the Caribbean" was in vain, so Zhang Nan encouraged Johnny Depp with a compensatory attitude: "The script is good on one hand, but more importantly, your performance is After "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", your salary has increased a lot!" Johnny Depp's mouth was a little bitter when he heard Zhang Nan talking about the salary.

After the global box office of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" reached US$1000 million, his salary for starring in a single film has indeed experienced a huge increase, from several million US dollars before to more than 500 million US dollars now, almost [-] US dollars. Looks like [-] million US dollars.

But the problem is, success is also a failure, and failure is a failure.

His cult performance style is so distinctive that it conflicts a bit with the protagonists of normal commercial blockbusters.

This resulted in a situation.

That is, his salary has gone up, and his reputation has also greatly increased, but there are only a handful of film offers coming for him to star in.

Looking at Johnny Depp's bitter face, Zhang Nan knew that there might be something wrong with him when he mentioned the salary.

Then Zhang Nan thought about it and realized that he had indeed said something wrong.

Because Johnny Depp in the original time and space, although he is a top Hollywood star, is indeed quite restricted in terms of film contracts.

If I were to count them all, it would be [Charlie and the Chocolate Factory], [Pirates of the Caribbean] series, [Alice's Travels], plus a little bit of [Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 1.2].

[Fantastic Beasts 1.2] The reason why it is a little bit is because Johnny Depp had a few cameo scenes in it, but it was returned by Warner Pictures because of a family scandal.

"No film appointment?" Zhang Nan had a plan in mind, so he said this deliberately.

Johnny Depp paused after hearing this and nodded.

Seeing this, Zhang Nan took advantage of the situation and said: "If possible, you can free up next year's schedule and wait for my news."

Johnny Depp was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked uncontrollably: "Is there a project?"

"That's right. I have a cooperation with Warner Pictures on a [Harry Potter] spin-off. I think this kind of fantasy-themed movie is somewhat consistent with your cult style, so I will recommend it to you when the time comes. , it shouldn’t be a problem to get a role.”

'Introducing' Johnny Depp into the [Harry Potter-Voldemort] spin-off series was an idea that came to Zhang Nan's mind.

After all, he played the ultimate villain in [Harry Potter-Voldemort], and the theme story of the movie will also be the specific plot of how to become a villain who is both good and evil.

So how to show the core charm of a villain who is both good and evil?

Naturally, there must be an exceptionally charming Ma Zi.

Ma Zai is so charming, but he, the boss, is made to look awesome even if he doesn't do anything.

So is there anything more charming than Johnny Depp's cult-style Captain Jack Sparrow?
No more.

Because Johnny Depp of the original time and space rose to the top of Hollywood just by relying on this very personal cult style.

Letting a top Hollywood star be a pawn, such an indispensable thing... Zhang Nan found it a bit exciting just thinking about it.

what!
wrong.

It's only 2006, and Robert Downey Jr. seems to have changed his mind and is about to evolve in the direction of Iron Man.

At this time, if I give Robert Downey Jr. a little sweetness, I should be able to win him over.

When the time comes, I, Voldemort's two great pawns, will be ready.

One is the left arm - Captain Jack Sparrow, who is both evil and good, and the other is the right arm - Iron Man, who is both good and evil.

Just ask the entire Hogwarts wizarding community, who can arm-wrestle with me?

I don’t even know how to lose.
