"Congratulations." Neil-h-Moretz said to Andy with a big smile on his face. This is to congratulate Renly on the achievement of such an excellent first commercial film. This is a real achievement for a newcomer actor who is an independent art film. Rare, can be described as an important step.

Andy sat on the sofa contentedly and relaxed all over, because the air conditioning in this office is enough, it is really refreshing, and even with a relaxed tone, "Congratulations."

This is to congratulate the gratifying box office of "Fast and Furious 5". Renly just gained fame, but Universal Pictures has gained fame and fortune. As the lead producer, Neil made a lot of money. Full bowl.

Andy's eyes then fell on Michael Forte, and he added, "Congratulations." This caused Michael to close his chin with a smile.

"We just finished the 'Fast and Furious 5' meeting." Neil didn't continue to be polite, and directly stirred up the topic. After all, in name, Andy will go to the airport to pick up people later, and they only have three Ten minutes, not to mention, all the courtesies and temptations have been completed just now, and there is no need to continue to play tricks now.

"In my mind and Vin Diesel, the sequel exists." Neil said a fact that the whole Hollywood knows, "but how to unfold this story is an extremely difficult thing. On the one hand, We wanted to be able to replicate the story frame of the fifth film; on the other hand, we didn't want to repeat ourselves, but we wanted to take the movie to a bigger, more exciting realm. To that end, we talked a lot Second, Fan made a lot of positive and useful suggestions."

Andy raised his chin slightly and nodded meaningfully, "It seems that some people did not relax during the promotion period."

Previously, due to the successive tit-for-tat incidents within the crew, under the intentional promotion of Andy, Ron Mayer, the CEO of Universal Pictures, shook the CEO of Universal Pictures, and issued orders directly from the highest level, which made Fan honest. But now it seems that the cooperative relationship between Fan and Universal Pictures has not been substantively shaken. Fan still plays an important role in the negotiation of the sequel. Does this mean that——

In the fifth part, Dominic's scenes of constantly acting handsome/coercive and racing alone will continue into the sequel? Correspondingly, is it difficult for Hobbes' role to be substantially improved? After all, even Paul Walker's Bryan was on the verge of being a backdrop.

Neil's two sentences seem to be meaningful and meaningful, and there is a lot of information. Andy got it, and Michael got it too.

Michael didn't wink or change his face, just took the conversation quietly, "We hope the sequel can bring more surprises, not only faster speed, bigger scenes, but also more exciting stories and stories. Fights. That said, in the sequel, the racing shots will be bigger and more exciting than the previous ones."

Andy remained calm, and said a polite remark with a smile, "That's really exciting. I can't imagine what a more exciting racing scene would be like."

Michael nodded with satisfaction, "In our opinion, the fifth work is just a transitional work, and the bigger story is yet to come. Even Lang has expressed high expectations for the sequel, and he hopes that we can make this The film was made to be a work comparable to 'Italian Mission' and 'French Drug Network'."

Both are classic crime movies and contain plenty of drag racing scenes. The former was released in 1969 and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Later, the 2003 "Steal the Day" was a remake; the latter was released in 1971 and won the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor in the following year. , Best Adapted Screenplay and other five Golden Figures, there is a remake of the same name in 2014.

Andy's smile bloomed, and he exaggeratedly exclaimed, "This is an unmatched benchmark."

Comparing the "Fast and Furious" series with these two, in Andy's view, it is more like overdoing it, and the expansion of ambition seems to be overdone. But is this a real idea, or a strategic shock? It's hard to fathom what Universal Pictures thinks about the sequel.

Michael didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Andy's words, but nodded in affirmation, "Long hopes that there will be pure car culture in this film, and can bring this culture into pure action films, And let the culture and spirit represented by this series be a role model for future films.”

"Wow." Andy didn't make any comments, he just sighed, but this sigh was enough and contained all kinds of rich information. As for how to interpret it, it was up to Michael and Neil.

In Michael and Neil's brief opening remarks, the two revealed the same message: the sequel will be more grand, but the two people's focus is different, Michael's focus is on "movie", Neil's focus is It's "Vin Diesel".

what does that mean? There can be different interpretations, but in Andy's view, it is a signal from Universal Pictures. In the sequel, drag racing is the absolute protagonist, and the others are supporting roles, which means that they will not give Renly A more important position, at least not in terms of salary. And Neil's hint shows that Fan still plays an important role in this project. Obviously, the tit-for-tat situation between Fan and Renly is not good news.

Of course, this is just a blink of an eye, Andy's first information processing may be biased. The specific situation still has to be investigated, reconsidered, and discussed after going back. Just like Dwayne Johnson's

Like a tug-of-war, raising the level of pay is not something that can be achieved overnight.

But apparently, Universal Pictures has already started to pre-empt. This is not surprising, the posture of the six major Hollywood studios is obvious.

For Andy's reaction, Michael nodded slightly, as if satisfied, then turned his head to look at Neil with a smile, and Neil took over the conversation and continued, "This past time, We talk about stories all the time, starting from the framework, and then to the context of the story, which is not an easy task, and we need the wisdom of more people."

"Gary-scott-thompson, who has been with us since part one, chris-morgan, who has been with us since part three, and this time around, Two producers, cyton-townsend, alexander-dostal, and Justin Lin, Vin Diesel, and me. We've been talking and trying to write a A more rational and grander script.”

Neil's words were long and fragmented, with a huge amount of information. Andy was keenly aware of one of the messages: Vin Diesel. This is the second time Neil has highlighted Fan's role, which is really interesting. Not because of Neil's repeated emphasis, but because of Neil's repeated emphasis in front of Michael.

If Neil just wanted to warn Andy, he could have mentioned it privately; but he chose to do it when Michael was there, and when he was communicating the grand plan for the whole movie, which is intriguing . It seems that between Neil and Michael, there seems to be an inside story that can be slowly excavated.

The larger the crew, the more complicated the interpersonal relationship. Not to mention the famous movie "Future Water World", an important part of the failure is that the internal relations of the crew have not been able to coordinate successfully; even the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is full of internal disputes, Jerry Bruckheimer (jerry-bruckheimer) )'s rampant dominance has indeed brought about a lot of problems.

"I believe Michael's words now, the racing scene this time will be beyond imagination." Andy remained calm, said a polite scene, and continued to listen carefully.

Neil couldn't help chuckling, then nodded affirmatively, "Yes, we will have more roaring vehicles, more characters, and the relationship between the characters will also be reorganized. This is an unimaginable Then, we found that there is simply no way a movie can hold so much content, and now it's just a framework, and we've come up with at least one hundred and fifty to two hundred pages of script."

According to the convention of Hollywood type films, one page of script is equivalent to one minute of the finished film, so this is one hundred and fifty minutes to two hundred minutes of conception. Although there are obvious differences between the concept and the finished product, this aspect shows the strong ambition of Universal Pictures.

"So, we started to think, should we divide this sequel into two parts?" Neil's words made Andy's eyes light up.

Warner Bros. split the finale of "Harry Potter" into two parts, and it achieved unimaginable success, and then Summit Entertainment also planned to make the fourth part of "Twilight" into two parts. This trend is on the rise. For critics, it's a disaster; for the commercial box office, it's a recipe for money.

Universal Pictures is indeed aggressive, if it doesn't start, it will be two sequels together at the beginning. It is conceivable that "Fast and Furious 5" has set off a stormy wave within Universal Pictures, North America 300 million plus a series of works, which has given them more confidence, exerted more imagination, and can't wait to want it. Create your own ace project.

"In other words, the sixth and seventh episodes are actually one story, and we intend to complete the filming of these two films in a back-to-back manner. The racing culture, character stories, and vehicle modifications in the films will definitely be refreshing. Neil continued to add.

Michael immediately said, "In these two works, the role of Luke Hobbs occupies an important position, and we are very optimistic about Renly's prospects."

After such a long and trivial foreshadowing, now the point is finally here. However, Michael's sincere words had no weight in Andy's eyes, he chuckled lightly, "It was a very pleasant process to act in this work, the film has achieved such an excellent result, and Renly enjoyed it very much. , to be able to participate in the creation of the sequel, which is more interesting."

The skin smiles and the flesh does not smile, but opens his eyes and speaks nonsense.
