"John, you...you can't do this! We've already agreed, you can't do this!" Melissa finally found her own voice and said anxiously, repeating the same words over and over again, In the panic, Melissa was breaking down little by little.

It's not fair.

Indeed, this is a fact, but it is also a reality.

John ignored Melissa, but looked at Renly and cast an inquiring look, as if asking for Renly's opinion: Should they get closer and complete the exchange of messages? Or should it be communicated in some more confidential way, if it's breaking news?

Renly glanced lightly at the lost Melissa out of the corner of his eye, the corner of his mouth smiled, and said nonchalantly, "I intend to return to the 'Fast & Furious' series, but obviously there are still obstacles now, continue. We can wait and see how things go down there.”

This is a detailed plan drawn up by Andy Rogers.

On the one hand, this is another warning to Vin Diesel. After the "Guardians of the Galaxy" incident, I was worried that Diesel might take anger at Paul Walker or Jason Statham for no reason. Now Renly has released the news that this incident was initiated by him. What's the problem, just let the horse come.

On the other hand, it's a hint to Universal. The focus is not on the "Fast and Furious" series, but on the restart series of "Jurassic Park". Renly took the initiative to extend an olive branch, hoping that Ron Mayer can adjust his mentality as soon as possible and take a brave step in the cooperation negotiation. first step.

In the past, Andy has been looking for the right opportunity and the right way, and deliberately let out the wind; he didn't expect that the opportunity would come to his door, and Renly completed the work smoothly. Spreading it out through the paparazzi in front of him, he will not be suspicious, after all, the time is just right.

Sure enough, John's pupils opened slightly, and he couldn't believe his ears.

John didn't understand the game between Steven Spielberg, Ron Mayer, and Renly Hall, and naturally he couldn't detect the "Jurassic Park" thing, but he immediately Captured the voice over the words - obstruction? What is the hindrance? Vin Diesel's name jumped out instantly.

Now, things are wonderful!

Diesel obviously does not want Renly to return to the series, and Renly also said that Diesel is the only obstacle to the return, plus the negative news that the "Fast and Furious" crew has been disturbing in the past period of time, the development of things. Really intriguing.

By the way, the reason why John is so excited has a story background.

On May 24th, "Fast and Furious 6" and "The Hangover 3" officially premiered on the same day. Despite the lack of Renly's presence, the red carpet of the former's premiere was still very lively and became the most popular this year. One of the most high-profile works in the summer season, and then the box office was released, which can not be said to be disappointing, but it can not be said to be happy.

Ninety-seven million, which is the opening weekend box office of "Fast & Furious 6".

Compared with the fifth installment in the series two years ago, the premiere data has only increased by two million dollars, which is really unsatisfactory; more importantly, before the film was released, industry insiders generally predicted the film's premiere. The weekend data should reach between 120 million and 140 million, but the final premiere data did not break the 100 million threshold, which is inevitably regrettable.

However, the 97 million premiere box office still managed to maintain the level of the previous film. Overall, it is still a gratifying news. To this end, Universal Pictures held a special celebration banquet to congratulate the series of films on continuing the success model, which also means that the grand blueprint of the seventh and eighth films can indeed continue to be promoted.

But then, "Fast and Furious 6" saw an avalanche of 64% in the next week's box office. It only earned $35 million at the weekend box office, with a cumulative box office of 170 million in two weeks. Eleven million dollars.

Horizontal comparison, the same period data of "Fast and Furious 5" is a 38% drop, the weekend box office of 58.9 million US dollars, in addition, the two-week cumulative box office is as high as 193 million US dollars .

It only took two weeks for the sixth part of the series to officially fall behind the previous work, and the box office trend was obviously sluggish, from media word of mouth to audience feedback, which also means that the sixth part wants to hit a new high. It's almost impossible. The subsequent third week saw another 45 percent drop in the box office, confirming people's suspicions.

Although the box office has exceeded 200 million in three weeks, the sixth film's attempt to catch up with the fifth film of 300 million in North America may have been completely wiped out, and even the overseas box office has been far away.

In terms of box office revenue alone, Universal Pictures can still make a lot of money, and this is still a successful sequel; but from the perspective of the long-term layout of the seventh and eighth films, Universal Pictures has begun to worry. , what is the problem? The box office of the sequel does not rise but falls? Series appeal and audience stickiness are declining, what should they do? Has the life force of the series started to wither?

For Universal, which isn't very good at making sequels, it's really worth panicking.

It was against this background that Renly revealed this news, and even if he was thinking on his knees, John could guess what kind of uproar this would cause!

"Wow." John couldn't help but wonder, and couldn't wait to ask, "So, what if the media asks you?"

information

It can't be just rumors, all the media are bound to find the parties to confirm.

"I won't admit it, but I won't deny it." Renly said with a smile, what Andy was looking for was a bigger puzzle, that is, the right to speak against the six major film companies, not just a "speed and Passion" and a Jurassic Park movie, so all Renly needs to do is keep silent and leave everything else to Andy.

John snapped his fingers. "That's enough. That's enough!"

The whole person started chattering back and forth excitedly, and then realized one thing, spread out his right hand, in front of Ren Li, completely broke the memory card, and threw it into the sewer next to him. .

No need for too many words, the meaning could not be clearer. In comparison, Melissa's tricks today are too clumsy and too vulgar, and there is no need for hype. Between the trade-offs, John made it easily selected.

"God! Oh, God!" Melissa covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed in disbelief. Her whole body fell apart like this, and she screamed frantically, "No! No no no! No!"

John completely ignored Melissa's reaction, facing Renly, and glanced at the desperate Melissa from the corner of his eyes, "Sorry for the inconvenience today. Do you need my help? Use public opinion to guide you. , kick her out of the crew?"

"Thanks for the suggestion. But I don't think it matters," Renly said with a smile.

John was still eager to try, trying to do everything he could to thank him, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure," Renly said affirmatively.

John showed a look of disappointment, the kind of regret and embarrassment that he tried to prove his loyalty with all his strength, but had nowhere to vent and nowhere to do anything. , "Then...then I'll leave first. I apologize again for today's incident. There will never be a next time."

Renly smiled and nodded.

John turned around and took two steps, but still turned around reluctantly, "Are you sure? I can help..." Renly didn't say anything, just stared at John with a smile, which made him swallow the words behind him, embarrassed. He waved his hand, turned and left.

John deeply believes that Joey is right and Renly is a good man.

If Renly knew what John was thinking, he would have laughed it off.

It's true that Renly didn't plan to kick Melissa off the set, but not because he's a "good guy."

To be honest, if Renly wants to, it's a matter of one sentence; and the same is true for finding replacement actors, twenty-four hours, up to forty-eight hours can be done, Melissa's role in "Boom Drummer" is not originally. The pivotal key is more of a sign with symbolic meaning.

But Renly's thinking was more comprehensive.

Replacing Melissa now, on the one hand, may affect the filming of "Boom Drummer", and the on-the-spot replacement is full of variables; on the other hand, Melissa's plan may be successful, and she only needs to complain to the media that she was fired because she was fired. There is a reason, the news breaking point has already come out, no matter what the truth is, whether it can be clarified, or whether the follow-up can be completed, Renly will inevitably become a "stepping stone" to help Melissa achieve her goals.

For Renly, there are a lot of things that hate rejection, one of which is affecting the actor's work, and the other is being a stepping stone.

If Melissa was fired, both of them would be fully accounted for; on the contrary, keeping Melissa would be a more sensible and simpler choice.

First, Melissa's role was not much. As Renly said, there were only three scenes before and after. The shooting work was relatively simple and could be completed quickly. Second, it was originally a small matter. With great fanfare, small things become big things, but Melissa can be satisfied.

Thirdly, after the filming was over, times had changed, Renly didn't need to confront Melissa at all, he just needed to let out the wind in the circle, or spread the news through John, he believed that Melissa's life would be even more difficult, It may even have nothing to do with the film industry at all.

There are many ways to deal with this matter, and firing Melissa on the spot is the simplest and most rude, and it has the most problems left. Renly is a decisive man. He will not be soft-hearted or soft-hearted. Even if he decides to take action to solve the problem, he must be neat and prudent, and use the simplest method to achieve the most effective results.

John was wrong and Renly was not a good man. Never was.
