Piracy detected! This time, Renly left the production of the "Fast and Furious" sequel, and Warner Bros. welcomed Renly with a grand etiquette.

In that room, the "Fast and Furious" sequel was booming. Following Dwayne and Luke, the crew first announced that Michelle Rodriguez was officially returning to the sixth part of the series, and then Jordana Brewster, The contract renewals of actors such as Gal Gadot and Cheng Kang have also been completed.

At that time, Universal Pictures officially announced that "Fast and Furious" will be filmed together with the sixth and seventh sequels, and it has increased the budget in one go, with a single film cost of 125 million Raised to 160 million, officially among the level of super commercial blockbusters.

On the other side, Universal Pictures once again announced that Justin Lin has completed his contract renewal and will continue to helm the sixth film. Now that the script creation is nearing completion, the entire crew is ready to go.

Before the official announcement of the awards season, the two works "Killing Samsara" and "Fast and Furious" made their debut, grabbing people's attention, thanks to the topic maker Renly and "Fast and Furious 5" 300 million in North America, which really attracted a lot of attention and caused a lot of discussion.

On the face of it, both Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures couldn't be more satisfied with the way things were going, and the actors didn't have any opinions. But the major media do not agree.

"Killing Reincarnation" and "Fast and Furious" are two things, but they are also one. Regarding the impact of this incident and the future prospects of these two works, the media are clearly divided into two camps, one supporting and the other opposing.

The so-called supporters support Renly and Universal Pictures. Led by Us Weekly, they believe it's a win-win situation.

As a rookie actor with the most ferocious upward trend in the past two years, Renly has already proved himself in terms of acting skills. After the "Passion/Love 5" small test, Renly needs more opportunities to prove himself in terms of commercial appeal, not just a supporting role, but an upright protagonist, proving that he has the ability to lead the way.

This is critical to Renly's future career development. Not only the performance opportunities of commercial blockbusters, but also the promotion of market value.

The so-called market value refers to the influence of the industry. Commercial work is one part, and artistic work is another. To put it simply, now Focus Pictures is preparing to make an art film to hit the Oscars. They need an actor with outstanding acting skills and a public relations selling point to take on the heavy responsibility. Their options may be Daniel Day-Lewis, maybe Tom Han. Cox, maybe Leonardo DiCaprio. Now, there may also be Renly Hall.

In the past, Renly's works of art have always been produced by independent film companies. After the commercial value is further recognized, the resources of art works will also be fully opened.

After "Winter's Bone", Jennifer Lawrence first took on the supporting role of "X-Men", and then took the lead role of "The Hunger Games", which is the way of development.

"Killing Reincarnation" has revealed limited information so far, only that it is a sci-fi action movie. But this is enough. Almost every top Hollywood actor has starred in sci-fi action movies. This is undoubtedly the most important process for an actor to reach the top. It can not only attract a large number of fixed fans, but also attract a small audience. otaku fans.

For Renly, it was a no-brainer; for Fast and Furious, too.

In the five previous works, "The Fast and the Furious" has never had a single actor appear in the entire series. Even aside from the first three installments of the series, which had frequent personnel changes, the cast of the fourth and fifth installments also featured Michelle Rodriguez, who won a lot of applause in the fourth installment, and then missed the fifth installment. For example, Cheng Kang and Gal Gadot have attracted countless fans in the fourth part, but the scenes in the fifth part have not improved, and they are still playing soy sauce.

"Fast and Furious" is not a series that attracts audiences with actors. Including Fan and Paul, the charm of the characters themselves are mediocre, and they are not enough to show Robert Downey Jr. to "Iron Man" ", Johnny Depp's unique temperament to "Pirates of the Caribbean"; the series of works completely relied on the thrill of drag racing and the pleasure of popcorn to gain the love of a large number of audiences.

Therefore, we changed the actors, kept the freshness of the cast and cast, and at the same time maintained the vitality of the script content, constantly creating more explosions for the audience to enter the cinema, while retaining the familiar elements of the series led by Fan and Paul. , which does more good than harm for the sequel to once again do well.

Gavin Hunter of "US Weekly" concluded that whether it is "Killing Reincarnation" or "Fast and Furious 6", it is worth looking forward to.

Gavin's views are supported by the Chicago Tribune, the Seattle Post, and the New York Post, but they are still in the minority. In the momentum of the entire media, the media with diametrically opposed views have the upper hand, and they still have the upper hand. Mainstream authorities headed by "Los Angeles Times", "Hollywood Reporter", "Variety" and "The New Yorker" The media, all stood on the position of the opposition.

In particular, Cornell McGregor of "Entertainment Weekly" was a leading figure, and he attacked with full force.

Bear the brunt

It is "Fast and Furious 6". Cornell believes that the success of this series of works this summer is due to multiple reasons. The first is that director Justin has made great contributions, and the second is that the previous four works have accumulated enough money. Crowd base, the third is the chemistry between Renly and Fan, and the fourth is the right propaganda and the attention won by the summer season opener.

It is undoubtedly a surprise that Hobbs, played by Renly, has received so much love and support. But now, the film series voluntarily gave up Renly, which undoubtedly means giving up half of the reason for the success of the fifth film in the series, just as the second film in the series gave up Fan, which is the same reason.

Joining Dwayne and Luke, and recalling Michelle, these actions can be seen in the crew's efforts. But making a movie isn't math, it's not a "one plus one equals two" formula, and replacing Renly with Dawn and Luke just doesn't work. The series of movies have never been masters at creating characters and telling stories. Finally, a Hobbes came out, which made the movie sublime, and now it has returned to its original point, which makes it difficult for people to be optimistic about the prospect of the sixth part of the series.

The failure of the second part of the series that year has now been repeated. This is undoubtedly stupid and arrogant.

In Cornell's view, Universal Pictures has always been repeating itself. The rout of the third "Jurassic Park" and the disappointment of the second and third "Fast and Furious" movies are now being staged again. . They will never learn the lesson. "Hollywood is the film company that won't make sequels. This name is well-deserved."

It can be seen from the final conclusion that Cornell's words are sharp and hard to resist. However, compared to Renly, the evaluation of Universal Pictures can only be said to be sprinkled.

Giving up the role of Hobbes is equivalent to Orlando Bloom giving up the role of Legolas in The Lord of the Rings. Although this is only a supporting role, it is a role that has won countless support and love, and it is a role that can gain a broad mass base. If it is a top star like Johnny Depp, it doesn't matter if you give up , the problem is, Renly is not.

Renly is precisely the rookie actor who needs more support, more knowledge, and more background. He should learn from Jennifer Lawrence, firmly grasp the role of "X-Men", and at the same time appear in "The Hunger Games", constantly. After accumulating and constantly polishing, perhaps, the supporting role can also be promoted to the protagonist - history has proved that the Mystique played by Jennifer later became the absolute protagonist of "X-Men: Apocalypse".

If it is said to give up Hobbes, it is too much; then it is foolish to take on the filming of "Killing Samsara".

What is "Killing Reincarnation"? This is not an irony, but a real question. Because in the United States, no one has heard of the original at all.

When people mention Japanese culture, manga, Akira Kurosawa, Haruki Murakami, these are the keywords that people will associate with, not science fiction. The mass base of Japanese sci-fi in the United States is not even comparable to that of South Korea. Before Warner Bros. announced the project this time, reporters didn't even know if "Killing Reincarnation" was ever published in the United States, and it's simply not available in bookstores now -- sales are so low that the publisher refuses to reprint it.

It's true that sci-fi action movies are a vital part of the U.S. movie market, but they're also the most vulnerable genre to fail. Just look at "Blade Runner". The film was scolded in the blood, and the careers of Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford were affected to varying degrees until many years later. Calm down.

After entering the new century, in addition to "Pirates of Dreams", science fiction films have declined in an all-round way, and there are quite a few science fiction films with box office exceeding 100 million, but the cost is expensive, the publicity is expensive, and there are only a handful of works that finally achieve profitability. The box office results of works such as "I Am Legend" and "Men in Black 3" are difficult to satisfy. The only success is "Transformers".

Now, "Killing Samsara" is such a work that is full of countless risks. There is no blessing from a big-name director, no blessing from an excellent script, no blessing from an excellent cast, or even a blessing from high investment. From any point of view, this work is a The prospect is bleak and the risk of failure is so great that it even makes people wonder why Warner Bros. decided to set up the project!

Before that, there was no news about "Killing Samsara" at all, and there is not much progress now, except for Renly, the other lineups are still undecided. This is the best proof. It appears that Renly dropped a must-win project and opted for a must-lose project.

"It was the dumbest decision of Renly Hall's career. One of the things that's ahead."
