The idea of Orlando Bloom was something Nanaya had thought of recently.
Although the popularity of this elf prince has been declining due to "Kingdom of Heaven", he still has a certain popularity base.
Letting him play a not-so-important role and gain popularity can be considered a kind of utilization of waste, although Bloom is far from being a waste.
After all, even Keanu Reeves can rejuvenate his acting career with the "John Wick" series, so maybe the Elf Prince can also find a suitable role to soar to fame?
Nanaya doesn't have much else in his hands, but he has a lot of characters for movie series."
Not to mention that he has already played the role of the Knight of the Lake in Nanaya's hands. He can play the role many times when filming the movie or web series about the Knights of the Round Table in the future.
Marvel also has many important supporting actors who need to make cameo appearances in several movies, and one of them can be given to Orlando Bloom.
Of course, forget about the leading role, unless this guy can grow another 20 kilograms of muscle, he is too thin.
Nanaya did not explain these things to the other party, but he also mentioned some of them in a slightly vague way.
The general meaning is, if he can perform well in FZ.
If there is a chance in the future, I will continue to seek cooperation with him.
Bloom immediately showed great interest and said that he would do his best.
If it were a few years ago, when the "Lord of the Rings" series was at its peak, Orlando Bloom probably wouldn't even bother to agree to such an illusory promise.
But now he had to pretend to be very happy and bow and nod to Nanaya, the popular director.
Even though Bloom is one of the protagonists of today's celebration party, he is not having a good time.
A duck knows first when the water in the river warms in spring. Only Orlando Bloom knows best what his current situation in Hollywood is.
Hollywood's top studios won't cooperate with him anymore, and second- and third-tier companies will probably only provide some bad movies in an attempt to overdraw their limited fame.
This is the norm for losers in Hollywood. Not only Orlando Bloom, but also Nicolas Cage is no exception.
Of course, Cage's problem is more of a debt crisis.
"This is the result of reckless investment without planning."
When Bloom mentioned Cage vaguely, Nanaya sighed.
In fact, Nanaya felt that Uncle Cage's debt crisis broke out too quickly. If he could have waited until China's film industry developed, he wouldn't have had to take on bad Hollywood movies and could have just come to China.
With the uncle's popularity in China and his status as a Hollywood star, he can get a considerable salary even if it is just a cameo.
Take, for example, "The City" starring Mark Damon.
And it will not affect his status in Hollywood much. After all, North American audiences rarely watch Asian movies, except for some special genre film fans.
I can only say that some things are destined by God.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these bad things."
Bloom probably saw some of himself in Cage, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Director Kiryu, let me introduce you to some actors from Hollywood."
"OK."
Nanaya originally came to this party for this purpose, and since Bloom was willing to act as a bridge, he naturally would not miss it.
There were quite a few people coming to the party tonight. In addition to Bloom, the other two members of the Pirate Triangle also came to the set.
Nanaya greeted both Uncle Depp and Keira Knightley, but did not chat with them in detail.
Because both of them are extremely busy, unlike Bloom who messed up big projects, they are both quite sought-after types in Hollywood right now.
It's just that Uncle Depp's condition was not very good. He had drunk a lot even though he was in a public place.
As soon as Nanaya got close to the other person, he could smell the strong smell of alcohol.
Although he had heard rumors about Uncle Depp's alcoholism in his previous life, it was only when he actually met him that Nanaya realized how serious this guy's condition was.
This is simply alcoholism.
"Hello, Director Kiryu." Depp said, with his index finger raised, "I hope to have a chance to work with you next time... I really like the role of Medea in the movie. She's very interesting."
Listening to the other party's unclear words, Nanaya estimated that the other party would forget about him in 10 minutes.
Nanaya was almost unable to communicate with Depp in this state, and could only exchange a few pleasantries before ending the conversation.
"Is he always like this?"
Nanaya frowned and asked in a low voice.
"In his own words, this helps him get into the role quickly," Bloom said helplessly, "but in fact, everyone knows that he just likes drinking."
"Of course, he's very nice to his fans and friends, but this guy is just a little...how do I put it..."
Nanaya continued: "Unreliable?"
"Yes."
Bloom replied helplessly: "During the filming, he was delayed several times due to hangovers, but Disney suppressed it and no one knew about it."
Nanaya shrugged: "Because Captain Jack is so charming."
If it were an ordinary actor, Disney might not have gone to so much trouble to cover it up, but they were really unwilling to give up Captain Jack, their cash cow.
But Depp's personality of living for the moment, just like Captain Jack, makes him a perfect fit for the role, but it also brings him a lot of trouble.
This is the time when Depp is doing the best, and nothing can be seen yet.
But when the audience gets tired of his acting skills of eating all the delicious food in the world, he will encounter all kinds of problems.
"Yeah, I think he'll be miserable in the future."
Bloom nodded in sympathy.
Afterwards, Bloom took Nanaya to meet many stars from Hollywood.
It's a pity that Nanaya's idea of picking up bargains did not come true, but he did get to know quite a few second-tier celebrities, which expanded the number of celebrity contact information in Nanaya's hands.
Coincidentally, at this time, Shion also ended her communication with Lucas.
When she saw Nanaya, she said excitedly, "Nanaya, did you know? We have the copyright to Star Wars!"
"Ha?"
Nanaya was shocked by Shion's words.
[Sister, I just asked you to talk to me. Did you convince Lucas to sell the company to you? You are too efficient!]
Fortunately, after Shion explained it clearly, Nanaya understood the general situation.
Shion obtained the online broadcasting rights for "Star Wars".
Everyone is familiar with the story of "Star Wars: A New Hope"'s comeback in word of mouth and box office.
But before the movie was released on a large scale, the almost unanimous criticism made Lucas himself lose confidence in "Star Wars".
At the time, Lucas only wanted to release the film as soon as possible to recoup his investment, so he signed a fairly loose distribution agreement with Fox.
But Lucas was also lucky.
Because before Star Wars, movie-related products were completely dispensable. Apart from Disney's cartoon characters, live-action movies didn't make much money, so they were not taken seriously at all.
So Fox left the copyright of "Star Wars" peripherals to Lucas like throwing away a piece of meat bone.
In other words, Fox did not discuss anything surrounding the movie with Lucas from the beginning because they believed that releasing this movie would basically be a losing business.
Then Fox got hit hard in the face, and it was very swollen.
"But in fact, there is no Internet copyright in the agreement between Fox and Lucas. They only agreed on the rights to broadcast in theaters and offline videotapes. Even the DVD copyright was only added in the last two years."
Shion said with a blushing face.
When signing A New Hope, Fox had not thought about this at all because of his arrogant attitude.
After the release of "A New Hope", Fox's attitude towards Lucas took a 180-degree turn, and they were almost calling him daddy.
Therefore, Fox's distribution agreements after "A New Hope" were very loose, for fear that Lucas would kick them out and work with other film companies.
There is no question of online copyright.
Because she owns the [See Moon] video website, Shion is very sensitive about this matter.
When she discovered this situation during a chat with Lucas, she immediately asked about it in detail.
As a result, after Lucas recalled the past, he immediately slapped his thigh.
"I really didn't sell the copyright back then!"
After that, things went smoothly and Shion and Lucas reached a verbal agreement.
It was agreed that Eagle Summit would send special legal personnel to verify the "Star Wars" agreement tomorrow, and they would immediately start cooperation if the loophole was confirmed.
"If all goes well, we'll be able to see the Star Wars series on [See Moon] in August!" Shion said proudly.
Because of the popularity of "Star Wars", Shion has been wanting to get this movie for a long time.
But considering her bad relationship with Fox, Shion didn't even think about testing the waters.
This time it was really a complete surprise.
"As long as you work hard, there is no fence-sitter that cannot be dug out." Ziyuan sneered behind her folding fan, "Nanaya is right."
"That's not what I meant at all. But...never mind."
At the very least, Washimine has established a cooperative relationship with Lucas, which also provides a foundation for further poaching in the future.
As for whether Fox would be furious, Nanaya believed that they would, but they would just be helpless and furious.
After all, the relationship between Washimine and Fox was already very bad, and this was no exception.
And Lucas is even more inferior to them.
If Lucas was really pissed off by such a small matter, and the old man took Lucasfilm to join other companies, then all the senior executives of Fox would probably be hung on the rooftop of the Fox Building by Murdoch.
Let me tell you a joke. Back then, Fox was really afraid of James Cameron because of his reckless behavior on "Titanic".
From then on, Fox imposed many restrictions on directors and particularly advocated the producer-centered system.
"Kingdom of Heaven" and "X-Men 3" are both victims of this system.
But in the final analysis, Fox is just a paper tiger, because when Cameron is filming "Avatar", Fox still treats him as its own father.
At the end of the day, Hollywood is all about profit.
