2040 [Selling Deed]

Summer is too lazy to deal with these hypocritical American filmmakers.

They were in the hall just now, in front of the camera, and they didn't dare to applaud him. Now when they came to this cocktail party and outsiders couldn't see it, they all came to make a relationship.

This double-faced approach was what Xia Tian despised the most, so after a few greetings with them, he walked behind Johnny Depp and patted his shoulder gently, "Long time no see!"

When Johnny Depp turned around and saw Xia Tian’s face, his legs were so scared that he felt weak. He was really afraid of anything he was afraid of. The nightmare he had been worried about for several years finally came today.

"Why, don't you remember me?" Xia Tian smiled slightly when he saw his face turned pale, his eyes were straight, and he looked silent.

"Hello, Mr. Xia~" Johnny Depp said awkwardly.

It was a blessing or not a disaster, it was a disaster that could not be avoided, so he decided to accept his fate.

"Just remember me~" Xia Tian nodded and smiled, then looked at him again, "Looks like you've been doing well in the past few years?"

When he met Johnny Depp a few years ago, his life was like a beggar, living without a fixed place, living in a friend's car, without any food and clothing.

Now Johnny Depp is obviously changing his shotgun. Although his clothes are sloppy, they are obviously carefully tailored and designed, and they are in this punk rock style. This outfit alone is probably more expensive than he paid 4,500 US dollars back then.

"No, no, I'm just a little actor." Johnny Depp waved his hand quickly.

"Little actor?! Little actor who can attend the Golden Globe Awards?" Xia Tian smiled.

As one of the heavyweight awards ceremony in the United States, the Golden Globe Awards is not something that the 18th-tier actors can come in. They are not celebrities and big directors, but they are shortlisted for awards, otherwise they will not get the invitation card at all. Johnny Depp said that he is a young actor and was simply lying.

"I am really a little actor, it's true. Please believe me, I sneaked in." Seeing that Xia Tian didn't believe it, Johnny Depp quickly swears, "I can swear to you!"

"No need, you are a young actor. I just happen to have a drama that can make you famous." Xia Tian smiled slightly.

"No, no, I'm a young actor, I have no fame and no acting skills, so don't use me anymore. I will ruin your investment." Johnny Depp immediately refused when he heard this.

In summer, he asked him to film, and only gave him a thousand dollars in a movie. What's the point of such a small amount of money? If he took on this drama, wouldn't he have to lose his life?

"I'm not afraid, I have confidence in you." Xia Tian shook his head and smiled.

"No, no, I don't have confidence in myself, really." Johnny Depp refused again.

"It's okay, it's enough for me to have confidence in you." Xia Tian smiled.

"No, no, I will definitely ruin your investment." Johnny Depp gritted his teeth and said without letting go.

Although he spent a lot of money, it doesn't mean he really doesn't care about money. He now has a six-digit pay for movies. He only spends 1,000 dollars in summer and wants to ask him to film, unless he is an idiot, he will agree.

"No need to talk too much, I'll take a fancy to you." Seeing that he had refused, Xia Tian had no patience to play with him, and directly issued an ultimatum, "Perform the contract."

"..." Johnny Depp was panicked when he saw Xia Tian really use the contract to talk about things, and hurriedly begged, "Mr. Xia, that contract is unfair. I will double the money to you. Can you return the contract to me, okay?"

"I want to redeem the contract with me, it's too late!" Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "Don't say double it. Even if you give me 450 million US dollars, I won't return the contract to you."

Johnny Depp is one of the most valuable actors in Hollywood and has a strong box office appeal. Not to mention the classic movies he starred in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "The Dead Valley", "Alice in Wonderland", and "Barber Todd", the global box office is as high as more than 4 billion US dollars in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

If you include the revenue from DVD distribution, TV copyright, online video, peripheral products, etc., the total value of "Pirates of the Caribbean" exceeds 20 billion US dollars.

Captain Jack played by Johnny Depp is the core of the entire Pirates of the Caribbean series. Any role can be replaced, and as long as Captain Jack is present, he can create a box office miracle.

Therefore, Johnny Depp's value is at least 10 billion US dollars. So Xia Tian will not let go of such a valuable big star.

When Johnny Depp heard Xia Tian say this, he was stunned, "450 million US dollars?! Are you crazy?"

He is now worth only one million dollars. He is 450 million dollars. He probably won't make any money in his life. Xia Tian only paid him 4500 dollars at that time. After only two years, he dared to ask him for 450 million dollars. This has increased by 100,000 times, and it's just a robbery of money!

"I'm not crazy." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "From the first time I met you, I knew that you had the potential to grow into a big star and would make a lot of money. If not, why did I sign you back then? Do you really think I can't burn it if I have too much money?"

Johnny Depp was stunned when he saw Xia Tian admire him so much. To be honest, he never thought that he would have a chance to become a big star. Therefore, he felt both surprised and happy when he heard Xia Tian say this. However, after he thought that after becoming a big star, he was just a tool to help others make money, so he could no longer be happy.

"I won't film for you. I have a lawyer, I have an agency, I won't surrender to you and be your slave." Johnny Depp said loudly.

He would never do it if he asked him to film a thousand dollars. He originally thought he could spend more money and buy the contract back. Now it seems that Xia Tian doesn't give him this opportunity at all. Since that's the case, he can only ask the agency to help him settle the matter. If it really doesn't work, he has to sue Xia Tian.

"Since that's the case, there is no need to talk anymore. Let's use the law to speak." Xia Tian smiled when he saw this.

The United States is a contract-based society and pays attention to contracts the most. Now he has a contract, and no matter how he fights the lawsuit, he will win.

Moreover, he has money, so he doesn't have to worry about lawyer fees when he sues. Johnny Depp is just a little star, and he can probably pay him until bankruptcy by paying the attorney fees.
