Hollywood has a relatively fixed template for the selection of male protagonists in commercial blockbusters. Although Renly has proven his ability in "Fast and Furious 5", it is still not enough. Big studios like Universal are reluctant to take risks lightly, and it would be perfect if they could strike a deal with Renly the way Chris Evans signed on "Captain America."

If it was just that, there was no need for Michael Forte's attitude to be so strong and arrogant. They could sit down at both ends of the negotiating table, slowly negotiate, slowly seesaw, slowly calculate, and proceed calmly. .

This is Hollywood, miss today's collaboration, there is always tomorrow's collaboration, unless it's one of the three giants of DreamWorks Jeffrey Katzenberg (Jeffrey Katzenberg) and former Disney CEO Michael Ai A mortal enemy like michael-eisner, no one will tear his face.

Dwayne Johnson missed out on "Fast \u0026 Furious 5" and ended up joining "The Expendables," but his relationship with Universal wasn't much affected.

But this is the "Fast and the Furious" series, which belongs to Vin Diesel's series. When Universal Pictures was filming the fourth film, one of the conditions for Fan's return was the producer, and he was not a fake name, but a real person with real power. Therefore, it can be clearly seen in the fourth and fifth parts that the key climax/climax scenes belong to Fan, and Paul is almost reduced to a foil, especially in the fifth part.

Fan is a producer on the series and has close ties to several senior executives at Universal. During the filming of the fifth film, the conflict between Fan and Renly was not a secret within Universal Pictures. When talking about the sequel, how to deal with the relationship between Fan and Renly became the most difficult problem. the problem.

Obviously, Fan is an integral part of the Fast and Furious series, and Renly is not.

However, this time Fan Xue was obedient. He didn't address Renly directly, but spoke out about the entire project.

First, the real protagonist of this series is not Fan or Paul, but the racing car. No actor should be above, and no actor can be above; Behind the dazzling performance is the credit of the entire crew. If the remuneration is to be increased, then all the cast should be rewarded, especially those veterans who have joined from the first film; thirdly, the role allocation of the two sequels should be The plot serves, rather than being actor-centric, and besides Renly, other actors should also increase their role.

In this way, he wholeheartedly spoke for the film and considered the company, and further won the support of Universal Pictures for Fan.

In recent times, Renly's upward momentum has been too ferocious, from awards season acclaim, even if not inferior to Natalie Portman; to a series of news events brought fame, Renly's high-quality word of mouth has gradually spread; and then the summer season has swept thousands of troops, and the comprehensive attention of the media and netizens is really terrifying.

It is no exaggeration to say that Renly is hot right now. At such a juncture, Universal Pictures is still seriously thinking about the possibility of rumors, which will undoubtedly further fuel Renly's momentum, and it also means that Universal Pictures will further lose its advantage in the negotiation of the remuneration.

In Vin Diesel's words, "We need to show our fists."

Inside Universal Pictures, there was a fierce dispute. One school of thought believed that the rumored film should not be mentioned for the time being, and that the two sequel films should be mentioned attentively, showing enough sincerity to invite Renly to be a part of the series, and The soft approach to negotiation is not only because Renly's future potential is worthy of recognition, but also because innovative artist agencies are not good at it.

But this view has met with opposition. The main reason is that the rumored movie cannot be delayed, because they plan to shoot the two sequels together, and the rumored movie will be released before the sixth one, seize the latest hot spots, take advantage of the trend, and reduce the risk of failure, if the two sequels are released. After that, there are too many variables, and no one knows what will happen in three years.

In the end, it was Michael Fordry who made the decision. In order to avoid the Dwayne Johnson incident again, he decided to adopt a strong method, seize the commanding heights, kill Renly's spirit, and then start the follow-up negotiations. In the final analysis, Renly, whose foundation is too shallow, still has insufficient deterrence, and has not been able to form an effective threat. Instead, it has inspired the toughness of large film companies.

In Andy's view, the 0.5% box office dividend of "Fast and Furious 5" is a sticking point for Universal Pictures, which is one of the important reasons why Michael is tough to the end. The only uncertainty now is whether Ron Mayer, the CEO, knows and holds what attitude, which is crucial to the next cooperation negotiations.

However, compared to Lang and Michael, what really caught Andy's attention was Vin Diesel.

Because Andy knows that for Universal Pictures, in the final analysis, it is actually the division of interests. As long as it is profitable, they are willing to compromise, just like in the fifth filming process, in order to make the filming go smoothly, even Fan can was sacrificed, so neither Lang nor Michael was a problem. But Fan is different.

There is a personal grudge between Fan and Renly. Andy is very firm, certain and sure, Fan will never let go easily. Once Renly gains an advantage in terms of remuneration and dividends, Fan's rights and advantages within the crew will be reduced, which also means that the confrontation between him and Renly will continue in the future filming.

, and, more than likely, he will be left behind.

Fan is a smart guy who will give full play to his strengths.

So, how should Andy respond?

Talk about a sequel to The Fast and the Furious has only just kicked off, and it's destined to be a marathon negotiation that no one will give up easily. But everyone seems to have forgotten one point, Andy is like this, Michael is like this, so is Fan: What about Paul Walker?

Not only in the "Fast and Furious" crew, but also in Hollywood, and even in daily life, Paul is a very low-key person, conscientious, sincere, dedicated, always devoted to himself In his work, there is no ambition, no publicity, no provocation, and no greed. To put it positively, it means dedication and concentration; but to put it negatively, it means a weak sense of presence.

Although Paul is not the producer of the "Fast and Furious" series, but as a veteran of the series, he is the most important part of the crew along with Jordana Brewster and Vin Diesel. And compared to Jordana, Paul has been an absolute hero since the first movie, and his voice within the crew should not be underestimated.

But this time, with regard to the production and discussion of the sequel, Paul's name has never appeared, which is really baffling. Could it be that Paul is not going to renew his contract and give up acting in the sequels that follow? If not, then why did Paul disappear? Or, did Paul go surfing on that secluded, hidden beach again?

Soon after, Andy got the exact news, but the answer made him really dumbfounded: Paul appeared on the set of "Transcendence" and visited the class in person.

Nathan-Pryce received a notice from the production team and came to the playground outside the teaching building. At a glance, he saw Paul with a bright smile on his face. He couldn't help but stunned and walked over quickly, "Paul , is it really you? When they told me just now, I thought they were playing a prank. Why did you come here?"

Paul laughed, "Come and visit. I think you should have a cup of iced coffee." He patted Nathan on the shoulder, turned around and pointed to the back, a mobile food truck was parked on the side of the road In the parking space of , the staff who were taking a break lined up in front of the dining car, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces, "By the way, I paid a hundred cups in advance, is this enough? Do you need me to add more?"

"Uh...enough, enough." Nathan nodded again and again, "There are less than sixty people in the crew today. That's enough."

"Where's Renly? What does he want to drink?" Paul put his hands on his hips and let out a light breath, seemingly satisfied with the effect of his visit gift, "The last time he was in Seattle, he said he didn't even taste me I gave it to him today. However, I remember when he was on the set, he only drank black coffee without sugar and milk, right?"

"No, it's not." Nathan laughed, "In 'Fast \u0026 Furious 5', Renly had to control his diet, and the fight scenes every day were very tight and required high concentration, so He only drinks black coffee. Usually, he doesn't drink coffee very often." As he spoke, Nathan began to recall and muttered to himself, "Is it because of the British relationship? He is different from He will drink different coffees at different times, such as after a meal, he will never drink a latte, and also during afternoon tea."

The real aristocrats are very strict with every detail of life, and the meals and desserts that can be selected at different time points are different. For example, for latte, the Italian way is to add pure milk, while the American way is to add milk foam, which also means that it contains sugar, and is generally only consumed at breakfast. If you choose a latte after lunch dessert or afternoon tea, it seems to be saying, "I'm not full" or "I need to add sugar", which is really rude to aristocrats.

Paul and Nathan looked at each other, but neither could find an answer. "Then I'll go over and ask Renly in person, and then I'll talk about it." Paul looked left and right, but he didn't see Renly's figure. "What about him? Are you preparing for the next scene?" Paul retracted his gaze and blinked. Blinking his eyes, he asked meaningfully, "How is Renly doing? Is everything okay?"

"Very good." Nathan nodded without any hesitation. "He thinks a lot, but overall he's in very good shape." That's the truth. Especially compared to the "cancer-fighting me". "It's rest time, but the next scene is about to start."

Paul retracted his chin, "No problem, then wait. It's just right, I can watch and observe."
