    In the next scene, Jessica surprisingly had no laughs.

    Although she was still stuck, it was because she was trying so hard to hold back her laughter, but she really didn¡¯t laugh.

    "CUT." Peter shouted stop without hesitation, but he did not blame Jessica, but looked at Lin Xiao curiously, "Lin, what magic did you cast on her? She stopped laughing."

    Lin Xiao looked at Johnny Depp with fiery eyes and said lightly, "I just want her to understand what a good performance is."

    "Learn to be in awe? Oh, oh, very good." Depp shrugged slightly, almost habitually, and threw a friendly smile at Lin Xiao, "Boss Lin, I think your eyes are very wrong very  Ambiguous? Are you sure your boyfriend won¡¯t blame you?¡±

    "" Lin Xiao was silent, he was speechless.

    "Hey, this is just a little joke." Depp carried two cups of coffee over and handed one to Lin Xiao. "I just want to know how you found out about my idea. I only told Peter, and you  He understood my intention within a minute of seeing me. Is this the so-called telepathy?¡±

    "Maybe." Lin Xiao smiled and took it, "THANKYOU, I'm just looking forward to playing an emotional rivalry with you."

    Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Depp laughed mysteriously.

    "Lin, come here, let me tell you a little secret." He raised the captain's famous orchid finger and said, "Hey! Black Pearl! Come here with the captain!"

    The two of them laughed and came to a remote place. Depp stretched out his big hand, "Johnny Depp, Gemini."

    ¡­Lin Xiao suddenly felt that he couldn¡¯t keep up with American thinking.

    "Lin XiaoCapricornprobably"

    The two shook hands vigorously, and Depp stroked his antlers and said with a smile, "This is the first time I have a good chat with you. Although I have always wanted to find a chance to do this, you have been with Cheng, Zhou, and Li recently.  Well, I am not a person who likes to talk nonsense, but I have never been able to find any opportunity to say it. Until you said just now that you wanted to have a scene with me, I had to go with it. "

    Lin Xiao couldn¡¯t laugh or cry. Depp has mild schizophrenia. Almost several movie stars have this symptom, but his seems to be more discerning, especially after Pirates of the Caribbean.

    Depp is probably the first person in recent years that a supporting role has to steal the show and become the protagonist.

    "Lin." Depp restrained his smile and pondered for a moment, "That's right, I have a friend Oh, no, brother. He has not been having an easy time recently"

    "Depp, if he needs a position, no problem." Lin Xiao nodded and said, Depp is not one of the ten-person club, regardless of his high reputation from the outside world, but throughout his film history, he has been nominated more than he has won Oscars.  Nominated three times and accompanying him time and time again, without the two major international awards like Lin Xiao sitting there, he couldn't be promoted.

    But even so, there are still 20 million club members. Although there is no dividend, Lin Xiao has no problem selling his face.

    "Lin, that's not the case." Depp shook his head at Lin Xiao and said solemnly, "He is a screenwriter"

    Lin Xiao¡¯s eyes flashed and he didn¡¯t speak.

    The status of screenwriters has now reached the edge of the cliff. Why has AOL Time Warner suffered such a big loss and not taken any big revenge? The first is that they are busy with a big lawsuit with AOL. The lawsuit between the two giants has made Hollywood in the economic crisis  The legal community was completely excited. It was said that all law firms in Los Angeles were mobilized and other teams were invited from Chicago and Washington.  The second one is the huge pressure caused by the sudden unification of the East and West Coast Screenwriters Association and the joint protest.

    This time, even the AFL-CIO didn¡¯t care, the Artists Association watched from afar, and the Big Six were blocked by the screenwriters.

    However, this strike has been going on for almost half a year.

    People like Robert McKee, Sid Field, Bloom and others can survive for a year without any problem. However, Hollywood screenwriters are often not one person, but a huge team. The original screenwriter is called the chief screenwriter.  After it is released, the production company will give it to people to revise. These screenwriters are called script doctors. This is where most low-level screenwriters make money to support their families. Often a script will go through four or five script doctors, but the final screenwriter will only  Write the name of the chief screenwriter.

    Even Spielberg has been a script doctor.  However, after the writers' strike, the temporarily unified Writers Guild of America strictly prohibited all film and television screenwriters from writing, and immediately expelled them once they started writing, resulting in the unemployment of a large number of screenwriters.

    "DeppI have no intention of being a screenwriter" Lin Xiao sighed. He was helpless. He should be low-key when he should be low-key, and he must show his fangs when he shouldn't be.Taking a hard bite of New Line, and then getting involved in the writers' strike will only make other companies needlessly vigilant.

    "It's not that he wants to trouble you to ask him to be the screenwriter" Depp hesitated, then sighed and said, "Actually, he wants to ask you to be the screenwriter Oh, co-screenwriter"

    Lin Xiao frowned. Aren¡¯t Depp¡¯s friends afraid of being expelled?  Being expelled from the Hollywood Association is an ugly stain.

    Suddenly, something flashed in his mind and he blurted out, "Broadway?!"

    Depp nodded approvingly, "Yes, the Writers Association explicitly prohibits writing for TV stations and film companies, but they do not prohibit writing for stage plays! Oh, Lin, you must not underestimate the power of Broadway. If charity is Hollywood  The artist¡¯s lifeline, then Broadway is the second lifeline to keep the artist¡¯s reputation alive!¡±

    Lin Xiao nodded. If he dared to come to Hollywood, he would have done all the homework.  Broadway has maintained the fame of countless artists. Some are fledgling newcomers, and some are second-tier stars who have fallen from the first line. They all use this grand stage to announce their existence to the world from time to time. There are many artists who have been reincarnated through Broadway.  .

    The most typical example is the casting of Sunset Boulevard at that time. Swanson, a silent film star who was out of date for 20 years, reached new heights with this drama.

    He thought for a long time and said carefully, "Depp, we are all members of the same crew. I like you very much"

    "Oh, Lin, I have a girlfriend." Depp showed an "I understand" expression, "You should go find McClain. He must be very happy about your invitation."

    ¡­¡­

    ?????????????????????????????? At a loss for words.

    Regarding Depp's "I understand," Lin Xiao didn't know what to say. Everyone knew that Ian McCann, who played Gandalf and now plays the human high priest in his crew, is a gay man. It's just that the other person is gay.  Not to mention, he had almost forgotten.

    "OK, this is just a joke, Lin, I know what you are worried about. Are you afraid that my friend's script will lower your reputation? I understand that sooner or later you will set foot on Broadway, and no Hollywood artist will give up this aspect.  However, Broadway's requirements for acting skills are surprisingly high. Many artists who are lucky enough to be nominated for Oscars, Golden Palms, and Golden Lions are not qualified, because this is a stage that faces the audience directly, and every flaw of the artist will be completely seen by the audience.  The first play was a flop, and the second play will definitely not turn out well As you might expect, my friend is not very famous, but I have read his scripts and they are impeccable!"

    Depp spoke very solemnly. Lin Xiao thought for a while and said, "Can you reveal it to me?"

    "Of course, this is a story about ballet." Depp personally poured a cup of coffee for Lin Xiao. "It is very interesting, with full characters. Everyone needs extremely high acting skills and deep understanding to be competent. Moreover, this is a story about ballet."  A musical.¡±

    "Where's the name?"

    "Billy Elliot."

    "Ahem!" Lin Xiao almost spit out his coffee and his eyes widened. "Mr. Depp, this joke is not funny at all."

    Depp burst out laughing, "Haha, Lin, you finally couldn't help it. How about it? Are you interested?"

    Lin Xiao smiled bitterly, "Billy ElliottDepp, this is a big joke."

    He knows very well how valuable this name is.

    Maybe the Chinese audience is not familiar with Billy Elliot, but they must be very familiar with the 2000 movie version of it, Out of My World, especially the domestically translated version of "The Dance of My Life".

    This film may not have a very prestigious trophy, but its reputation throughout Europe and America is by no means low.  Ranked as the thirty-ninth most famous film in the UK.

    After making a joke, he got a headache.

    This masterpiece, originally written by Li He, became a movie in 2000. In May 2005, it was adapted into a stage play for the first time and was screened at the Victoria Theater in London. Since then, this film has become one of the few Broadway works that attract money.

    What troubles him is that anyone who gets the copyright for a stage play can arrange it. Copyright is not unique. In other words, you can see a certain director and screenwriter rehearsing Dance of Life in London today, and you can watch it in Paris tomorrow.  When another group of people rehearsed "Out of My World", so many screenwriters and directors wanted to exclude it. Everyone felt that they could do the best. In addition, in the era of the screenwriters' strike, there will definitely be more people interested in it. If De  What Pu participated in was a not very good screenwriter, and his signature meant that he lost more than he gained.

    However, he must remember that in April 2009, the winner of the "Tony Award", the world's largest art stage award and closely linked to Broadway, was none other than Billy Elliot!

    "Who is the screenwriter?"?He asked softly, regarding the stage play, the director is not that important, the screenwriter is more important, especially when Depp personally invited him. Obviously this play is full of stars, and he estimates that they will basically be on the same level as him, in the Ten-person Club  Less than 20 million, but there are a lot of people there. Whether the performance is good or not can be seen by the eyes of others without the director having to speak.

    "Peter Darling."

    Lin Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.

    He didn¡¯t expect that Depp would bring such a great gift.

    This person is the winner of the 2009 Tony Award!  And Billy Elliot shined at the 2009 Tony Awards, winning multiple awards!
