One Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty-Six Future Plans

"Who can tell me that I'm shivering from the cold, but I still don't want to leave? What's going on?"

"Because such a starry sky can't be seen in New York or Los Angeles, it's no wonder that people always say that enjoying the starry sky has become a unique travel destination. How can you see such a pure and bright starry sky when you stay in the city? Just stretch out your right hand, as if you could just pluck off those stars. God, who could deny such a beautiful moment?"

"How do I think, the most likely reason is that our bodies are already stiff. Lying here is obviously a more comfortable choice. If you stand up rashly, the joint problems and muscle problems seem to make people a little overwhelmed, so, just simply Not moving?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The sound of ridicule, jokes, and rants, bathed in the starlight, even though the body has already felt the cold, he is still reluctant to get up and leave.

The laughter calmed down, and Paul sighed softly, "After living in the city for a long time, I still need to return to the embrace of nature and feel this simplicity and simplicity again. If you hadn't invited me to Iceland, I would have thought about it. Go surfing in Malibu. I'm starting to miss surfing again."

It was originally just a simple sigh, but Renly tasted a hint of sigh in his words, so he asked casually, "What, what happened in the crew?"

"Ha. I'm also a nominal producer now, what else can I be unhappy about?" Paul casually said, but he turned his head slightly guilty, glanced at Renly secretly, and then greeted Lanly. Li those bright eyes, he twitched the corners of his mouth a little embarrassedly, "It's still just the trivial things you're used to."

In fact, Paul wasn't going to complain, he wasn't going to tell Renly at all, even if he didn't talk about those trivial things. The remarks just now were just sentimental. But I didn't expect that nothing could be hidden from Renly.

"The conflict between Fan and Dawn in the crew has gradually become public."

Paul is still the same Paul, and every time he judges others behind his back, he is always a little softer. Even Diesel, who is full of contradictions, is no exception.

"He's... always late; and then, more inclined to use doubles." Paul said simply, not adding vinegar or making an opinion, just stating the facts, but in a few words, it still revealed the real situation on the set.

Being late is a disgusting move on any set, but it's undeniable that many big-name actors have that privilege. reason? Big name is on the one hand, on the other hand, it is because of standby time.

mentioned before,

After the actor enters the crew, the standby time needs to occupy most of the time, and it is very common to wait for several hours, so the big-name actors often stay in their mobile trailers to rest. Naturally, if the first scene in the morning doesn't have a part of its own, it's understandable that the actors will be delayed in arriving on set.

Over time, big-name actors are allowed to have the privilege of being late--provided that there is no role for this actor, otherwise, the entire crew is waiting for this actor to start up, which is a real big-name show.

It can be judged from Paul's words that the word he uses is "late", which means that in some of Diesel's scenes or opponents' scenes, Diesel is still late, so that the opponent's actors and the whole The crew stopped and waited for him alone, which was unbearable for the entire crew.

However, because of Diesel's status as a producer and the support of Ron Mayer, the director and other producers could only swallow it.

Going a step further, being late is one thing, doubles are another.

When "Fast and Furious 5" was filmed, the rivalry between Renly and Diesel undoubtedly created a strong spark, and the film was well received after its release. The switch between the real fight and the stand-in, these two shooting methods will inevitably cause a gap in the sense of reality, just look at Tom Cruise's desperate spirit of shooting the "Mission Impossible" series, which is really very important for action movies. important.

However, it is reasonable and reasonable to use doubles for dangerous scenes. After all, actors are still amateurs, and there is still a gap compared to professional martial arts actors.

The reason why Paul specifically pointed out the substitute is obviously because Diesel gradually started to be lazy, refusing to roll up his sleeves in his own scenes and go into battle in person. It's disrespectful and disrespectful to the actors in the same play.

Jason Statham, Dwayne Johnson, Paul Walker, including Michelle Rodriguez, they are all actors in a desperate style, and all the basic martial arts scenes are played in person. Especially Dwayne Johnson, who is a wrestler himself, even more dislikes fake things.

Then, when all the other rival actors were in the battle in person, only Diesel chose to use a stand-in, and it was expected that the balance in everyone's heart would tilt.

First late, then doubles. Diesel in the crew can be described as guilty of public anger. However, he is still safe and sound, even Paul and Dawn can only complain behind their backs, because he is one of the core producers of the entire crew, and even Universal Pictures is standing behind him, which makes him become Unshakeable.

Why is Universal Pictures like this?

In fact, for a simple horizontal comparison, why didn't Disney fire Johnny Depp and choose a new actor to play "Pirates of the Caribbean"? Why didn't Marvel Studios abandon Robert Downey Jr. and choose the new "Iron Man"?

First, the characteristic resonance between them and the characters has been recognized by the audience and integrated with the entire story system; secondly, after choosing new actors, whether they can continue their success and reach the current height, and whether the cost of replacing actors is not. Can be controlled as expected.

Simply put, it is whether the risk and return are proportional. If it is possible, then it is a matter of course to change actors; but if not, then the film production company naturally wants to continue to make money, and it is the most economical way to keep the current actors, and all the "big name" acts, as long as there is no harm and their interests, that is tolerable.

The most intuitive case is the replacement of the three leading actors in "Spider-Man". From Tobey Maguire to Andrew Garfield to Tom Holland, Sony Columbia Pictures has never been soft-hearted; and "Pirates of the Caribbean". "And "Iron Man" did not change actors, just because the existing model can still maximize the benefits, Disney chose an easier path.

The same goes for Vin Diesel with the Fast and the Furious series.

Although Diesel and Paul are the two male protagonists of the series, Paul is an indisputable personality. From the fourth part, the character's face image gradually blurred, thus highlighting Diesel's big man The main core position, and the more and more intense, Diesel's influence in the crew has gradually increased, and it has become one of the biggest signs in the series.

Now when people mention the "Fast and Furious" series, the first image that comes to mind is Diesel, followed by Paul and Dawn.

Universal Pictures also wants to "lazy" to take shortcuts and keep the original mode and continue.

What Paul did not capture was that the current Dawn was actually the original Renly. Diesel focused all his firepower on Dwayne, and it could even be said to target Dwayne consciously. Before Dwayne rises strongly, Diesel must confirm his dominance.

The difference between Dwayne and Renly is that Renly has a lot of choices, and he will not threaten Diesel head-on; while Dwayne is an upstart in action movies, his competition with Diesel is a life-and-death confrontation. , so the conflict is bound to be more direct.

Paul doesn't have much interest in fighting for power and profit. He couldn't understand the conflict between Diesel and Renly at the time, and he can't understand the confrontation between Diesel and Dwayne now; but in fact, the fundamental reason why Diesel and Paul can coexist peacefully is that , Paul has never been eager to dilute Diesel's power, otherwise, the replacement of one of the two male protagonists in Hollywood movies is nothing new.

After saying a simple sentence, Paul sighed and sighed, "To make a movie is to make a movie, why can't it be simpler? We are all working diligently, hoping to shoot a wonderful work, and also hope that the audience can They can enjoy the relaxation and joy that a movie brings, and the whole crew pulls together to accomplish a goal, it's that simple, isn't it?"

"Things are always simple, and the complicated... are people," Renly said calmly.

Paul quietly looked at the stars above the sky, which is why he likes nature so much. There is no dispute or calculation, and everything has maintained the purest and most primitive appearance. "They are fighting each other in the crew every day. , are arguing with each other for some trivial things. The crew has become smoky."

Pulling the corner of his mouth, Paul said softly, "Sometimes, I can't help but have an idea, is it time for me to leave the crew?"

"Dad!" Meadows exclaimed, "Even if he wants to leave, it should be the bald one who leaves!"

"He's only bald, not bald." Renly corrected himself solemnly, and at such a serious moment still earnestly "protecting" Diesel's reputation, before the quarrel emerged, Meadows and Paul couldn't help laughing stand up.

Paul explained with a smile, "It has nothing to do with him. He didn't force me to leave the crew, and he couldn't do it. It's just that I don't think there's anything worth lingering about in such a crew. The people and things I once liked are now all over the place. There is not much left, but I still can't bear the whole production team. We have worked together for 12 years. We have witnessed their marriage and children, as well as those who died of illness and death. We have become family. If we leave now, we will still bear it. ."

Afterwards, Paul turned to look at Renly and Meadow, and laughed to himself, "Besides, I don't know what role I can play after I leave this work, after all, I'm not Renly. Such acting genius."
