Looking back on the past, Universal Pictures chose Renly because of Dwayne Johnson's remuneration issues, and then started a year-long tug of war because of Renly's remuneration issues. Universal Pictures was cautious and even stingy. The stinginess is obvious, and this is one of the important indicators of Lang Mayer's operating company.
But this time, the "Fast & Furious 8" crew's remuneration issue was a mess. From Paul's notification to Universal Pictures of his final decision, to the finalization of all remuneration negotiations, it only took time before and after. It's only been two weeks, and the dust has settled before Diesel realizes the seriousness of the problem.
reason?
In order to avoid greater loss of interests and more disputes over interests, the heroes of Universal Pictures found a new relative balance point by sacrificing a small part of their interests, and re-established the tone without any hesitation or hesitation.
In the face of real interests, Diesel can also be sacrificed, and Ron Mayer's reversal doesn't even require more thought. The progress of the whole process was a thunderous one, and Ron Mayer once again showed his iron fist, a far cry from the previous image of procrastination and indecision.
After this incident, it can be concluded that it is not that Diesel cannot be replaced, it is just that he has not found a way to check and balance; it is not that Ron Mayer is petty, but there is not enough interest for him to show decisiveness. As one of the six major Hollywood film companies, even if Universal Pictures is stingy and stingy, the interests they care about are not what ordinary small companies can covet.
So, did Diesel resist?
Of course he couldn't be captured. Through himself and through Fisher and his agency, Diesel put enormous pressure on Universal Pictures: he also threatened the crew to quit! If Universal Pictures doesn't increase his box office dividend percentage, he's going to walk away like Paul.
This is Diesel's trump card!
Diesel thought that Universal Pictures would compromise, and Paul's exit made them unable to bear the departure of another pillar, otherwise the "Fast and Furious" series may be completely suspended, which is a heavy blow to the audience, Universal The film industry is bound to do everything in its power to save Diesel.
But this time Diesel lost his grasp of the situation.
Universal Pictures did not rush to negotiate with Diesel, but used a "drag" word to stabilize Diesel, neither refusing nor agreeing, but kept crying about its difficult situation and complaining about the smog of the crew. , is constantly emphasizing the importance of Diesel to the crew, and constantly expressing that the crew is now facing a fork in the road... Basically, Diesel says what he likes to listen to.
But the problem is that Diesel can't see Ron Mayer, or even Neil Moretz, the biggest producer of the "Fast and Furious" series, and can only fight with the producer responsible for the budget. In this way, there has been no decision or movement. It seems that Diesel is enjoying unique treatment, but things have not progressed at all, let alone the solution and promotion of the core issues.
Universal Pictures once again showed the profound meaning of the phrase "Ginger is still old and spicy". Diesel was stuck in a position where he couldn't go up or down. It was like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to advance or retreat, and then Diesel heard the latest situation——
The rumors centered on Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, and the rumors centered on Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster, are both on the agenda.
Universal Pictures has been actively promoting the project to create the Luke Hobbes story after the initial success of "Fast & Furious 5". The project was strongly opposed by Diesel, and Renly was unmoved, which also forced Universal Pictures to shelve the idea of an expanded universe.
Now it's all over again.
Dwayne and Jason's rumored project was expected, but Michelle and Jordana's project was a surprise -
Jordana has always played Dominic Toledo's sister and Brian O'Connor's wife Mia in the series, but this role has always lacked more room to play because of the innate relationship, lack of fighting and drag racing The role of the show is more of a home image in the rear, which also makes Jordana's performance opportunities very limited.
After Paul left the crew, the biggest suspense was actually: What should Jordana do?
According to the plot, Brian O'Connor left, and Mia Toledo should also leave. Although she is still Dominic Toledo's sister, if Mia appears, Brian's whereabouts will change. It is very ambiguous/ambiguous, which is very tricky for the subsequent plot arrangement.
But now Universal Pictures has an answer: Jordana will join Michelle in a spinoff film that tells the story of Mia and Letty, Dominic’s girlfriend and Mia’s teenage friend. , the adventure story between them does have a lot of room for development.
It can tell the story before Mia and Brian met, it can tell the story of Mia sneaking out after handing over the family to Brian, it can tell the story of Letty help Mia when she encounters difficulties, it can tell the story of Mia and Letty dumping Open the story of the men creating a world of their own, and also tell the story of the men who are responsible for the trouble and the women who are responsible for cleaning up... and so on, the space for imagination between the characters is endless, and there is no need to worry about Paul's absence. The impact will come, because Diesel will also be absent from this rumor.
Predictably, this was a strong push after Paul left the set
One, he would never want his departure to affect Jordana's career. This is the last thing Paul wants to see, so the rumored project is logical.
The difference from the previously stillborn project is that for the two rumored projects this time, Universal Pictures is very determined, bypassing Diesel directly, pushing the project hard, and now it has been officially put on the agenda; at the same time , The rumored project was also approved by the actors involved, and they all actively participated in it, which also became the direct driving force of the project.
In other words, regardless of Diesel's consent, Universal Pictures has decided to expand the "Fast and Furious" universe. Just like the Marvel universe, popular characters can gradually develop their own independent rumors. This is undoubtedly true. It is the ultimate goal that Universal Pictures has always hoped to achieve.
If Diesel can agree, that would be the best; but even if Diesel disagrees, and even quits the series, Universal Pictures is psychologically prepared - Diesel even realized a possibility, if he Also left the crew, will Universal Pictures spend a lot of money to re-invite Renly and Paul back? And then recreate the series?
This idea has just emerged as a bud, and it has already started to grow wildly.
Paul left the crew, with Renly escorting him, he didn't need to worry about future performance opportunities at all; but Diesel left the crew, what else could he do? "Fast and Furious" is all there is to him.
What else can he do? Does he have any other options? Although he also wanted to walk away impulsively, he left Universal Pictures and "Fast and Furious" behind in a rage, and struttingly announced that he had abandoned the constraints of the series and was still able to make a fortune Heaven and earth, but... he still can't do it after all.
He can't do it!
Diesel's whole person was completely despaired: Universal Pictures was determined that he would not leave.
As a result, Diesel was stuck in a very embarrassing position. On the one hand, he refused to compromise, he refused to sign the eighth cooperation agreement, he also refused to approve the project of the rumored film, and even refused to have his power in the crew divided up; On the one hand, he was helpless, all his attempts and efforts could not open up the situation and change the status quo, and his eyes were blank.
After experiencing repeated blows at the beginning of the year, just when he thought that things couldn't get any worse, the cruel reality was pushing him to the edge of the abyss, crumbling and precarious.
"Why? Can you tell me, why?" Diesel raised his head and looked at Fisher. Those eyes that had lost their luster seemed to have grown dim and old, and even the wrinkles between the brows were dyed A layer of tiredness and depression lingered, making the surrounding air gloomy.
Fisher met Diesel's gaze, thinking about how he should answer.
He can be said to be hype, for example, the current dormancy is for the future rise, for example, Universal Pictures is just bluffing and dare not give up Diesel, for example, Diesel should re-deploy the layout with Michelle and Tyrese, Another example is that the one who has the last laugh is the real winner. Another example is that the strength of Universal Pictures is just an empty shell. Diesel can still exert enough pressure on foreign films... and so on. There are a thousand kinds of agents. There are 10,000 ways to fool your actors, and the words in those scenes can make the actors dizzy.
But he can also tell the truth, the most direct and cruel truth.
"Fan, we haven't worked together for a long time, but I know you're a smart guy, and those guys who think you're just an athlete are all wrong. So, do you want to solve the problem, or do you want the cruel truth?" Fisher Er is a ruthless agent, if Diesel is of no use value, he can give up Diesel without hesitation now, even without any hesitation, between feeding honey and arsenic, Fisher. Er chose the latter.
Diesel's brain is like a mess, and there is no way to function normally. The situation has been completely out of control recently, and he doesn't know what to do. Looking at Fisher now, the first reaction in my mind is: He doesn't want to know the truth, because the truth is often overwhelming; but... Is there any way out for him?
He is now standing in the abyss, and there is no way to retreat! To retreat again is to be smashed to pieces.
"The truth." Diesel found that his voice was terribly hoarse, like a homeless man who hadn't had a full meal for ten days and a half months, so embarrassed.
