Somewhere in France - Johnny Depp's home.

In 1998, when Depp was filming the film "The Ninth Door" in France, he met French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis and started a relationship with him;

In 1999, his daughter Lily Rose Depp was born;

Since then, at least 3 to 5 months of a year, John Niedep stayed in France, not in the United States.

"Huh, did Mr. Deville not come today?" asked his wife Vanessa.

(Deville Zlon, male, Depp's agent.)

Depp, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper in the living room, nodded gently: "I don't know if I'm not here now, and I won't know if I'll come later. Anyway, if you want to make lunch, you might as well do it."

Wife Vanessa nodded and entered the kitchen.

Say Cao Cao is here~

As for people, they just chant without reason.

Less than half an hour later, agent Deville Zron arrived.

"Dep, I've brought you good news," said agent Deville.

Hearing this, Depp put down the newspaper in his hand and poured a cup of coffee for Deville himself: "This is your favorite coffee, no sugar or milk."

Agent Deville took out a stack of contracts from the briefcase he carried with him and said with a smile: "Although Wald Pictures has not fully accepted our offer, the latest contract has greatly increased your pay, which shows that they are sincere."

At that moment, Depp took over the contract and started watching.

[Contract for the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean".]

Leading actor Captain Jack: actor Johnny Depp;

Contract method: Packaging trilogy (not a single movie);

"Pirates of the Caribbean 1" paid $9 million;

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" paid $13 million;

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3" paid for $16 million;

In addition, the contract also marked high liquidated damages and as many as 20 detailed requirements...

1. A special car pick-up will be taken by a hotel during the shooting period;

2 Obey the shooting requirements of the director and producers and must not be absent without reason;

3 If you are absent from filming under unreasonable circumstances, you will have to bear the corresponding losses of the crew;

......

"What does Wald Pictures mean?"

"The pay has increased a lot, but there are too many details."

"Absent from shooting for no reason?"

"Do they think I am such a person?!"

Depp only scanned a few pages for a contract of more than ten pages and threw the contract aside, looking a little unhappy.

Agent Deville looked embarrassed.

Why are there so many requests?

It's because Depp has many odor problems...

He loves drinking very much, and can even be said to be at the level of alcoholism!

After drinking too much, he was absent from the crew filming the next day, which is definitely not once or twice for Depp.

In the original time and space, Depp had been absent from filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" many times when filming. There were many directors and producers who went to the hotel to pull him down the set.

The original shooting cycle of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" was 16 weeks, but due to Depp's absence from shooting many times, the shooting cycle was crushed to 19 weeks.

It took 3 weeks to delay!

The producers paid an additional $4 million for this!

The ancients said: Prevent the problem from escaping.

Zhuke and Wald Pictures don’t want to spend extra money, so they naturally have to strictly limit him in some aspects, even if Depp and Zhuke have a good personal relationship!

"Dowell, do I have to sign a trilogy contract for the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean"?" Depp said coldly.

"Um!"

Agent Deville said heavily: "Walder will not give up on this. However, I also recommend that you sign it. After all, the production cost of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is as high as $140 million, which is definitely a key project of Wald Pictures."

"You can't miss the script written by Mr. Juke Wald himself."

The words fell.

Depp was slightly moved.

Although he has a very bad temper and often conflicts with production companies in the eyes of many people, he knows Zhuke's energy.

Zhuke, the gold medal screenwriter!

"Okay, I can sign a trilogy contract, but you can talk about the pay." Depp compromised.

"Hahaha, no problem."

The agent Deville was immediately happy and laughed: "The first film paid 9 million US dollars, I absolutely unreasonable. What do you think is the number of $10 million?"

Depp also laughed.

......

In the evening.

At Depp's home in France, a guest suddenly came.

"Hey, Tim, why did you come without calling?!"

Depp couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the person who suddenly appeared.

——Tim Burton!

That's right, the person who came was Tim Burton, the Hollywood director who was both a teacher and a friend to Depp.

"Batman", "Batman Return", "Edward Scissors Hand", "Blackhead Valley", "Battle of the Apes", "Alice in Wonderland"...

It includes the famous animated film "The Bride of the Zombie", which is a film directed by Tim Burton.

Among them, John Niedep is truly well-known to North American audiences because he starred in the movie "Edward Scissor Hand" directed by Tim Burton.

The two have a good relationship, both teachers and friends.

"Tim, everyone says I have a bad temper, only you, Tim Burton, can control me well, I think it makes sense." Depp gave a warm hug.

Upon hearing this, Tim Burton shook his head and smiled, "You, it's time to stop his temper."

Depp was absent from filming the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", but when he starred in the movie "Alice in Wonderland", he never missed the movie.

This is Tim Burton’s influence!

Depp really respects him!

"You're here this time...?"

Depp asked curiously.

Tim Burton took out a stack of contracts with a smile and said, "I want to invite you to play the leading role in the movie "Battle of the Apes"?"

Depp: "..."

.........

That night, 9 o'clock in the evening of France time.

Juke, who was far away in Los Angeles, was having afternoon tea at this moment when he suddenly received a call from Depp from France.

(In terms of time difference, France is 6 hours faster than America.)

"What?!"

"You promised to star in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, which is really great news. For the good news you brought to me, I think I will definitely have two more drinks of afternoon tea today."

When Zhu Ke heard this news, he was naturally very pleased.

Captain Jack, the soul character in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", is definitely the one who must have Depp. There is no way, the charm he attached to Captain Jack is a classic in film history.

But!

Bad news is coming!

"Zuke, I can participate in "Pirates of the Caribbean", but I can't join the group immediately. I need to participate in the movie "The Battle of the Planet of the Apes" directed by Tim." The voice of John Niedep came from the phone.

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Ke was slightly stunned.

In the impression of the time traveler Zhuke, "The Battle of the Planet of the Apes" is a very classic movie that should have been released as early as July 2001.

But it hasn't been filmed yet?!

"Is this the butterfly effect I brought?" Zucker said in his heart.

Finally, Zucker agreed to Depp's idea.

——Post the filming of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" and wait for Depp's schedule!

"This is him, otherwise I will change the actors as soon as possible if I change to other movies. Captain Jack in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" may change to someone else, maybe what the final effect will be?"

The production company is waiting for a certain actor's schedule...

Not to mention it is very common, but it is not a minority.
