"Wait, Terry, do you mean that Orlando is not very suitable for the role of Will Turner?" A middle-aged man with thin cheeks and sharp eyes asked with a frown.

Terry Rossio spread his hands and said: "I'm not saying that he is not suitable for this role, but I think we may be able to broaden our vision a little bit, not necessarily limited to these few roles, maybe we will meet in the audition to something better."

The middle-aged man who was sitting on the boss chair talking just now was none other than Jerry Bruckheimer, the gold medal producer of civilized Hollywood and the producer of "Pirates of the Caribbean". What they are discussing now is about the film. The question of the candidate for the second male number Will Turner.

Originally, they had reached a consensus on who would play Will Turner in this film, that is, to choose a British actor, but after Terry returned from the World Cup scene, especially after he communicated with Lin Zhimo After that, his thinking changed a little.

Terry began to think about whether he could make the character of Will Turner have a deeper background in the film. Even if the final box office of the film was not satisfactory, he could try to add some content to make it look more reasonable.

Of course, as a fantasy movie itself, it doesn't have to be scientifically logical, but Terry is also very willing to try to add some other interesting things to the film.

But although he is already the screenwriter of the film, Terry can't make a promise on this kind of thing, especially if the screenwriter is co-written by him and his friend Ted Elliott.So he first discussed his ideas with Ted.After the two reached a consensus, they came to the producer Bruckheimer, and he didn't plan to go to the film's director Gore Jabinsky until he passed Bruckheimer.

However, before he told Bruckheimer his opinion, the other party told him that he had already intended to let the British youngster Orlando Bloom play this role, because the requirements for the role were formulated by them at the beginning, and Orlando Bloom also wanted to play the role. Very much in line with some of their previous conditions.

But now Terry has overturned the previous negotiation results, which makes Bruckheimer unhappy. [

"You mean to open the casting?" Bruckheimer asked, frowning at Terry.

Terry thought for a while, and replied: "Actually, it doesn't have to be a public casting, I mean... um..."

Hearing Terry's hesitant words, Bruckheimer said impatiently: "Terry, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Terry glanced at Bruckheimer.Gritting his teeth, he still said, "Actually, I plan to let jemln audition."

Bruckheimer was taken aback.He blurted out and asked, "jemln?"

This name can be said to have stirred up the situation in Hollywood recently. Of course, Bruckheimer is a gold medal producer in the Hollywood film circle, while Lin Zhimo is only half-popular in music.So go ahead and know the name.But all he knew about Lin Zhimo was that he was a very talented musician.As for more understanding, he is not clear.

"You mean to ask a singer to act in a movie?" Bruckheimer didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He didn't expect that Terry came to meet with him today just to make this request. At the same time, he thought that Lin Zhimo didn't know How did you get into this relationship with Terry?

"No. He is not a singer, or he is not only a singer, but his identity also includes actor, screenwriter and director." Terry explained to Bruckheimer.

"Oh?"

Hearing Terry introduce Lin Zhimo in this way, Bruckheimer's curiosity was also aroused: "Tell me about his experience."

Seeing Bruckheimer's expression, Terry knew that there was still hope for this matter, so he told Bruckheimer some things from before Lin Zhimo came to the United States until the two met.When Bruckheimer learned that Lin Zhimo had won the Best Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival, he couldn't help but marvel at Lin Zhimo's versatility.

The more insiders in the entertainment industry are the more amazed by Lin Zhimo's ability, precisely because they know how difficult it is to be able to do this.

"You mean he's still a screenwriter?" Bruckheimer asked suddenly after listening to Terry's introduction.

"Um... yes." Terry suddenly felt that he seemed to have said something too much.

Sure enough, as soon as he answered, he saw Bruckheimer's eyes staring at him closely, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint light shot out from his eyes: "Then, when you and him were in the World Cup, you'd better think about it." Have you had many exchanges?" [

"I think you misunderstood, Jerry, I only had a discussion with him about pirates, and I promise, I didn't tell him anything about this movie." Hear Bruckheimer's words Terry quickly explained the question.

This is a matter of principle, and Terry would never do it.

Bruckheimer took a deep look at Terry.

Terry also looked at Bruckheimer without fear.

Seeing the look in Terry's eyes, Bruckheimer knew he was suspicious, and according to Terry's personality, he shouldn't be able to do such a thing, so he smiled, waved his hand and said, "Terry, of course I believe you, it's just me Unexpectedly, that Chinese man named Jem would have such a great charm, and let you come to me alone for him."

Seeing that Terry's expression didn't seem to be doing anything, and even if he really revealed the script, he would get nothing, so Bruckheimer's expression became more relaxed, and he said in a friendly tone: "Did that singer give you any benefits?" No?"

Terry was also relieved to see that Bruckheimer did not doubt himself, and explained with a wry smile: "If he hadn't become famous recently, I wouldn't have come here, precisely because of his current status. Fame makes me want to invite him to audition."

Bruckheimer was a little puzzled, after all, compared to fame.In "The Lord of the Rings", Orlando Bloom played the role of the elf prince brilliantly, which is admirable.Therefore, Orlando Bloom's reputation is not inferior to that of Lin Zhimo, it should be said that it is still more famous.However, he was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just waited quietly for Terry's explanation.

"When the two of us met for the first time in the World Cup, he was just a well-known actor in China, but now, he has become a legendary singer well-known in the United States. Even children as young as a few years old can sing a song. His song...he's growing up so fast." Terry sighed.

Hearing Terry's words, Bruckheimer nodded in agreement, as the United States, the center of the world economy.Even entertainment is likewise the center of the world.It can be said that if someone makes a name for himself in the American entertainment circle.Then you will gain a group of fans all over the world.

"Lin Zhimo's fame today just shows one point, that is, Lin Zhimo is by no means an ordinary genius, he is the kind of legendary figure with limited possibilities, I really want to see if Lin Zhimo can join What kind of sparks will come out of our crew!" Terry said at the end that his cheeks flushed slightly with excitement.It seemed that Lin Zhimo's scene after joining the crew was outlined in his mind.

No matter what Terry said.Bruckheimer's expression didn't change.As a gold medal filmmaker, he knows when to keep his cool.

Although Terry said a lot of good things about Lin Zhimo, Bruckheimer didn't have any fluctuations in his heart.Because Terry didn't mention the key point after talking for a long time, that is, whether Lin Zhimo's joining can replace Orlando, or how he can do better than Orlando, and can bring more box office and influence to the film .

After all, Lin Zhimo is just a rookie who has just entered Hollywood. Although he has become a popular spicy chicken in the music industry, it is still unknown how much the movie's box office revenue can increase. Moreover, Bruckheimer not only needs to consider the movie quality, he needs to consider Disney's concerns in this regard.

However, when he thought of Disney, Bruckheimer had a flash of inspiration, and his expression suddenly changed, and he murmured: "Perhaps, it's not impossible..."

"what?"

Terry didn't hear Bruckheimer's words clearly and asked.

"Oh, I mean, if Lin Zhimo can join the crew, does the script need to be adapted?" Bruckheimer suppressed his inner thoughts and asked Terry instead.

"Of course, after all, the image gap between Orlando and Lin Zhimo is too great, and the background of this character must be modified." Terry replied immediately, "But no matter how you change it, in this film he is not It will definitely be remembered. After all, there are too many roles for the male protagonist in this film, and there are not many separate shots of the male lead. If, I mean, if there is a second part of this film, then The story about him will be possible."

"Oh, so do you have any comments on the script that will be revised?" Bruckheimer asked again.

"Huh?" Terry glanced at Bruckheimer in surprise. He didn't expect the other party to ask this sentence. Seeing what he meant, he didn't seem to object to Lin Zhimo's joining?

But he still replied: "Actually, I have already prepared some drafts, but I haven't started to revise them yet. But in fact, there are not many revisions. It is probably only a few lines to replace the scenes in the movie. It will not affect the shooting of the film."

Bruckheimer nodded upon hearing the words, pondered for a while and said to Terry: "Well, you can call and ask Lin Zhimo if he is interested in acting in this film, and then we can discuss it later."

Terry was excited when he heard the words, and he sat down for a while, and immediately came out of Bruckheimer's office and called Lin Zhimo.

At this time, Lin Zhimo had just finished recording the Oprah show.

"Oprah, I'm very glad to be on your stage again. I'm very happy to record this show." Lin Zhimo said with a smile and shook hands with Oprah.

"I have to say, jem, your performance on the show just now was great, and I think we will hit a new high in the ratings this time." Oprah also looked at Lin Zhimo with admiration.

Not to mention Lin Zhimo, a Chinese, even some American stars will inevitably feel a little uneasy when facing the recording scene of the Oprah Show, and their performance is usually a little abnormal, but Lin Zhimo's humorous performance on stage just now , full of atmosphere, the whole program can be said to be super long and completed the scheduled goal, and the atmosphere of the scene is also very good.

"I think, maybe you should be a show host, you have great potential in this area." Oprah said again.

"host?"

Lin Zhimo laughed: "I don't have time to be the host, I'd better do my job well first."

Although he was happy with what Oprah agreed with, Lin Zhimo would not feel that he was a host material because of this, and even if he had the opportunity to be a host, Lin Zhimo would not do it. In the virtual world of movies and music. (to be continued..)
