"Evan, today we are just proposing this plan for the first time, you can think about it again." Robert-Iger is still unwilling to give up, "The script has not been released yet, maybe after the script is written, you will Rekindled interest?"

​​

Evan Bell was not angry when he heard this. His idea was indeed shocking to many people. In "Pirates of the Caribbean", Captain Jack Sparrow was the absolute protagonist, and the box office was very good, and even He once won an Oscar nomination for Evan Bell, and now the producers are willing to show enough sincerity in the script, and believe that the remuneration and box office dividends will not be low, such a role is indeed very few people can refuse. But Evan Bell is different. He does not act for the sake of fame or profit, but just enjoys the process of acting, so simple.

​​

Therefore, the role of Captain Jack Sparrow has lost its appeal to Evan Bell, and he feels that he does not need to continue to persist.

​​

However, Evan Bell knew that this was just his own idea, and most people would not understand it, let alone Robert Eagle and Jerry Bruckheimer? Presumably they came today with great confidence to convince Evan Bell. As a result, this proposal was made, and it was directly rejected by Evan Bell.

​​

"Jerry, I don't know if you remember my first interview for 'Pirates of the Caribbean'." That's a distant memory, before Robert Eagle was in power and Evan Bell was a newcomer Just a young actor who has been in the industry for more than a year. "I challenged your authority as a producer for the role of Captain Jack Sparrow, and I remember it didn't seem very good, and if Gore was not on my side, I probably wouldn't be in it either. The movie is over."

​​

Jerry Bruckheimer's memory was turned out little by little with Evan Bell's words. Evan Bell went on to say, "Remember my attitude? If it weren't for such a full-fledged Captain Jack Sparrow, I'd rather not perform." Jerry Bruckheimer couldn't help nodding, he seemed to Some understand, "The same is true now, for me, the role of Captain Jack Sparrow has already played to the extreme. Even if I play it again, it will be difficult to make another breakthrough. This matter itself is no longer attractive. Strength. It makes sense."

​​

Jerry Bruckheimer understood what Evan Bell meant, but he still couldn't. Because it's hard to imagine, "Pirates of the Caribbean looks like a sure-fire project that Evan Bell would refuse. But think about it, in fact, when "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" Evan Bell didn't care anymore , if Jerry Bruckheimer had not compromised to change the script, then Evan Bell would not have appeared in the second and third sequels. So, now in the fourth installment, Evan Bell's blunt refusal doesn't seem to have such an impact.

​​

"Evan, what if I'm willing to increase the pay?" Robert Eagle didn't fully understand what Evan Bell meant at this time. After all, Evan Bell interviewed "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the entanglement between the start of the sequel, Robert -Iger didn't participate directly, just heard about it, so the feeling is not so profound, "Disney is willing to offer a salary of 65 million to invite you to star in the fourth film, are you willing?"

​​

Sixty-five million? If Evan Bell really takes over, then he will definitely be the first paid person in Hollywood history. But then again, Disney can't be so disregarded, "Even if Pirates of the Caribbean invests 300 million, almost one-fifth is on Evan Bell's salary, so it is not so easy to recover the cost. So, even if It is really this salary, so it is impossible for Evan Bell to get box office dividends.

​​

"In Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Evan Bell's salary plus box office dividends, after deducting taxes, actually got about 70 million in income. Now the price that Robert Eagle offers, in short, is to buy If the price is cut off, there will definitely be no box office dividends in the future. Thinking about it this way, it is not so shocking.

​​

"Robert, Robert," Evan Bell couldn't help laughing, but it wasn't a happy smile, but a somewhat awkward expression. He could also directly feel the desire and directness in Robert Eagle's voice. Generally speaking, whether it is Evan Bell, Robert Eagle, or Jerry Bruckheimer, they will not express their inner emotions so bluntly, because it is very unfavorable in business negotiations. But obviously, the impact brought by Evan Bell today was too violent, causing both of them to lose their sense of proportion. "Calm and calm."

​​

Evan Bell restrained his smile. Although he had some unpleasantness with Disney before, it was all a matter of shopping malls. In terms of work cooperation, there was no real hatred between the two sides. "I don't want to continue to play 'Pirates of the Caribbean, not because It's not because of the paycheck, it's not because of you guys, it's just my personal reasons, I don't want to continue playing the role of Captain Jack Sparrow."

​​

Just when Robert Eagle wanted to say something, Evan Bell went on to say, interrupting him, "If Disney has other plans to cooperate with Eleven Studio, I'd still welcome it. It's always been welcome. Yes." What Evan Bell didn't say is that if Disney is willing to leave Hulu and provide video resources to uTube, it is definitely something they can't ask for.

​​

When Robert Eagle heard this, his face that was slightly rosy due to excitement gradually darkened, but he still maintained his last sanity, after all, he had been sitting in the position of Disney CEO for so long. Time, and he has always been forbearance, so just for a moment, he regained his calm, "Evan, is there really no room for manoeuvre? Don't you want to read the script?"

​​

Evan Bell smiled again, "Robert, I know we're not friends," these straightforward words made Robert Eagle and Jerry Bruckheimer glance at each other, "but When it comes to the work, I've always been straight to the point. For example, I have a problem with the script, for example, I have a problem with the pay. Likewise, for example, I don't want to be in the script, so that's it. I won't dawdle. It is also a good move for both of us to delay your time."

​​

When it comes to business, talk about business, talk about things. Evan Bell believes that in the "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", there is no need to entangle with Disney all the time, so as to save the cooperation and make extra troubles. In fact, the same is true for other works. Evan Bell rejects others simply and neatly, and the same is true for rejected words, such as "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". After David Fincher came up with reasonable reasons, Evan Bell also It didn't go on any longer.

​​

Jerry Bruckheimer also understands what Evan Bell means. If "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is over, then end the project as soon as possible, there is no need to spend more time; if Disney still intends to continue shooting this sequel, then Whether to continue to use the role of Captain Jack Sparrow-then we have to select actors, or replace the new protagonist, we must also plan ahead.

​​

Evan Bell's "brutal" direct rejection is indeed good for both parties, which also allows Disney to get into the state as soon as possible without wasting time.

​​

Although he was rejected by Evan Bell, Jerry Bruckheimer was still very annoyed at this time, but he had to admit that Jerry Bruckheimer still admired Evan Bell's neatness. Unlike some actors, who procrastinate and dawdle, the result is actually to raise their own pay. Here, Jerry Bruckheimer finally understood why so many people wanted to work with Evan Bell, and also understood what Evan Bell meant by the so-called work first. Knowing Evan Bell for six years, Jerry Bruckheimer really has a good impression of Evan Bell today.

​​

After being rejected by others, he began to appreciate him. Jerry Bruckheimer couldn't help laughing, this is really a ridiculous situation, can it be considered a joy in hardship?

​​

Jerry Bruckheimer looked at Robert Eagle and indicated that he had no more words to say It was considered that he accepted Evan Bell's statement. Robert Eagle will be here today. Actually, it's not just about "Pirates of the Caribbean 4". The main purpose is to show affection to Evan Bell. Whether it is Disney or TV station, he still hopes to have a relationship with Eleven Studio in the future. opportunities for cooperation. Now "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", the cooperation seems impossible, so Robert - Eagle show it?

​​

Robert Iger was also thinking about it at this time. In fact, it is unlikely that he would get angry and slam the door with his character. After thinking about it, Robert Iger breathed a long sigh of relief. Man, I know what you mean, but I still think that if the script for 'Pirates of the Caribbean 4' is written, you can read it.

​​

If you change your mind by then, that would be great. "If not, so what, Robert Eagle didn't say it after all.

​​

Evan Bell reluctantly smiled and nodded, "I promise, I will read the script." This is also a promise. In fact, Evan Bell has watched "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" in his last life, except for the amazing Except for the mermaid, I can't remember it at all now.

​​

Robert Eagle stretched out his right hand, "I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

​​

Evan Bell nodded again and again, "Of course, this is also my idea." He took Robert Eagle's right hand and shook it hard to express his friendliness.
