2041【Nicholas Cage】
When Xia Tian saw the person coming, he was stunned and then smiled slightly.
Just saw that this man was tall and not handsome, but he had a strong face and had the aura of a great hero.
If he admits it wrong, this person is also a big star, and he is also a top star, Nicholas Cage!
Nicholas Cage is one of the most familiar Hollywood stars among Chinese people. He has excellent acting skills and has won many awards such as Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Actors Union Awards and other awards.
In addition, his box office appeal is also quite good. His starring roles in "Brave the Deadly Island", "National Treasure", "Air Prison", "Speed 60 Seconds", "King of War" and so on all have very good box office results.
Even after he became the king of bad movies, most of the films starring him failed in North America, but he still has a good box office appeal overseas, especially in the mainland.
Xia Tian also admires this person very much, especially likes his roles in several movies such as "Stickman", "Leaving Las Vegas", "The King of War".
Nicholas Cage has contributed quite exquisite acting skills in these films, which makes people feel that every second is enjoyable. Unlike watching the awkward acting skills of those young actresses and young actors, watching for a second is a destruction of eyes, ears, and soul.
Although Cage also acted in many bad movies in his previous life, Xia Tian knew that it was not because he became arrogant and degenerate after becoming famous, but because he was not careful in investing and owed huge debts, so he had to be forced to shoot more movies to pay off his debts, otherwise he would be in danger of going bankrupt. So it is still worth forgiven.
...
"Are you bullying my friend?" Nicholas Cage turned his head and looked at Xia Tian.
He and Johnny Depp are very close friends, and they have known each other for many years. The fact that Johnny Depp was able to star in "The Ghost Street" was recommended by Cage for him.
When Johnny Depp was an unspoken newcomer, Nicholas Cage was already a little famous. In addition, his uncle Francis Coppola had become famous with "The Godfather" at that time, so Cage also had some connections in Hollywood.
This time Johnny Depp was able to attend the Golden Globes ceremony, and Cage brought him in. He originally wanted to introduce some producers to him at the awards ceremony so that he could get some film contracts.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he was about to introduce, he heard Johnny Depp screaming. Cage thought he was in trouble and immediately came over.
When he turned his head to question Xia Tian and helped his friends stand up, he was stunned when he saw Xia Tian's appearance, "You are Mr. Xia?" He said in surprise, and his momentum suddenly weakened.
Although his uncle Francis Coppola became famous in Hollywood for the "Godfather" series and was the leading director, Xia Tian was the boss of Columbia Pictures. In terms of status, he was nowhere to be higher than his uncle, let alone him, a rising star in Hollywood. In front of others, he had no presumptuous position.
"Nicolas Cage?! Hello, I admire your performance." Xia Tian nodded with a smile, then reached out to him, "I have the opportunity to work together."
"Okay, OK." Nicholas Cage was extremely surprised when he heard this and hurriedly held Xia Tian's hand.
To be honest, he came to the Golden Globes ceremony today, and wanted to find some opportunities for himself to perform.
Although Hollywood produces many movies every year, its excellent works are limited. Although Nicholas Cage does not lack film contracts and can always have work, he also wants to act in more good movies and work with more famous directors.
I originally thought that it would be worthwhile to meet some producers and some famous directors. I never expected that today I would meet Xia Tian, the tycoon in the film industry, which was really a surprise.
When Johnny Depp saw Xia Tian say a few words, he pulled his friend Cage over and coughed quickly, "Nicolah, let's go there first."
"Should you wait a moment." Cage waved his hand.
You should know that Columbia Pictures is the most prosperous film company in Hollywood today, and the movies produced every year are well-known and popular. Being able to cooperate with this big company is the dream of all Hollywood filmmakers. Today, he finally gets to know the big figure in summer and doesn’t take the opportunity to build a relationship, wouldn’t he miss the opportunity?
"Then I'll wait for you there." Johnny Depp couldn't help but feel angry and said coldly when he saw that Cage was just trying to curry favor with Xia Tian and didn't care about him at all.
Nicholas Cage glanced at Johnny Depp in confusion, not understanding why he was so stupid. What a good opportunity to meet summer, why didn't he know how to cherish it?
However, although he didn't understand what Johnny Depp was thinking, Cage was a loyal person after all. Seeing Depp like this, he had to smile at Xia Tian, "Sorry, Mr. Xia, let's lose his companion."
"It's okay, go there." Xia Tian nodded.
...
Nicholas Cage immediately pulled Depp to the side, trying to persuade him.
Johnny Depp once told his grudges with Xia Tian. After listening to it, Cage couldn't help but become stupid, "Tell me, you met Mr. Xia four years ago and signed fifteen film contracts with him, each of which was only one thousand dollars?!" He asked in surprise.
Johnny Depp nodded.
"Why are you so stupid? A drama of a thousand dollars, even making curry coffee will have a higher income than it." Cage said depressedly.
He really didn't expect Johnny Depp to be so short-sighted, selling himself for a thousand dollars. You know, his current salary is at least six digits. If he is the leading actor, he will probably have at least 300,000 US dollars. Now it's one drama, with a total of fifteen movies, and the loss is at least one million US dollars. It's so heartbreaking.
"I even had a problem with eating at that time. I didn't expect to become a star later." Johnny Depp also regretted it. "Besides, he is from Hong Kong, I thought I would never see him again, so I signed him. I never expected that he would become a Hollywood film tycoon now."
"..." Nicholas Cage sighed after hearing his explanation.
He also knew that four years ago, when Johnny Depp was not yet famous, he did a miserable life. He had sold pencils, worked as a clerk, and worked odd jobs. At the worst, he didn't even have a place to live, so he could only be forced to sleep on the streets.
At that time, he was so down and begging for food. Someone was willing to pay him to film, so he naturally couldn't wait to agree. Although it was only a thousand dollars per drama, the price was not low for a person who was about to become a homeless man.
Who would have thought that four years later, this homeless man became a well-known star and an idol of many teenagers in the United States.
