"Two billion dollars."

"Twenty...cough cough, wait, cough cough...what... two billion? Are you sure the unit is'billion ()'?" Paul was choked by his saliva directly, and coughed violently. His face was flushed red, like a cooked shrimp, but his eyes still stared at Lan Li in disbelief, trying to verify further.

Lan Li smiled and nodded in affirmation.

Mei Duo, who was sitting at the side, was already so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, so she stared at Lan Li blankly. The astonished expression made Lan Li couldn't help but laugh, "Medie, close your mouth, and the flies are about to fly in. "But Mei Duo still didn't respond. Finally, Lan Li raised her right hand, dragged Mei Duo's chin, and gently closed it.

Paul took a moment to relax, but his brain is still in a mess, "You mean, this is just the first start-up capital? I mean, I know it’s definitely not easy for a production company. It’s all you need to make a movie. Funding and investment are far beyond imagination, but...is this just the first start-up capital?

Paul is an actor himself, and he has also served as a producer. Naturally, he knows the specific process of the film production industry better, but at this time he was still frightened.

Five million dollars can be used to set up an independent film production company, but Renly now needs...2 billion?

Lan Li nodded and replied in the affirmative, "Are you interested in learning about Sisyphus Pictures' development blueprint now?" Only when you understand Lan Li's concept can you truly understand that 2 billion US dollars is just the first step. .

"No..." Paul paused, seeming to think seriously about Renly's proposal, and then repeated it again and again, "No, no. Forget it. Even if it is a five million dollar proposal, I will have a headache; and now it is For a two billion proposal, things are obviously more complicated. Reading the proposal just makes me more confused."

"But at least you should think about it. This is not a trivial matter." Lanly returned to the topic just now. Before Paul could speak out to defend himself, he went on to explain, "Paul, I know about your management. There is not much interest. Even the proposal to be a producer at the beginning gave you quite a headache, and so did I. However, the Sisyphus Films business requires us to spend more energy. Are you sure you want to participate in it? "

According to Paul's personality, he is bound to hesitate, at least hesitate, but he didn't expect that, he directly said, "Remember our last topic: Should I continue to act in'speed and excitement/emotion'?"

"I have already decided. After I leave the hospital, I will reunite with the crew to finish the filming of the seventh part, and then formally terminate the contract with Universal Pictures and leave the series." Paul said lightly of his decision. .

Unexpectedly, but reasonable.

Mei Duo looked at Paul in surprise, and even Lan Li showed an unexpected look. For Paul, the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" series is not only a set of film works, but also a spiritual sustenance. Those crew members are his family, and the content of the movie is his passion, but now, he has decided to leave and bid farewell to the past. This is not an easy decision.

However, Paul looked extraordinarily free and easy and said with a smile, "I can continue to stay on the crew. I believe that they very much hope that I can stay. I can become a legend and keep my name and the series of movies together forever; But Lanly, if I stay there forever, I will never be able to start again, right?"

Paul stared at Lan Li, his bright and sunny eyes were so hot, falling heavily on Lan Li's shoulders, and then Lan Li gently expressed his approval with his jaws: break and then stand without breaking. This is the simplest truth, but not everyone can execute it in this way.

Because humans are greedy animals, this is nature and nature, always thinking about the best of both worlds, always thinking about the blessing of the people, always refuse to let go-why can't Paul not only star in "speed and excitement / affection" and open up a new career? ? Why does Paul have to give up "speed and excitement" to be able to open a new situation?

The problem is here, why not?

Yeah, why?

Not only Paul, look at Van Diesel, look at Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise and others. They all made brilliant achievements because of the success of a role, but also because The success of this role restrained his hands and feet. If they don't cut the close connection between themselves and the characters, they will never be able to find a "new" start.

The actors in the Marvel series are mostly like this.

This is also the reason why Lan Li was reluctant to take over the role of Marvel from the beginning-or DC. There are gains and losses. Behind the gains, you will inevitably face misses and losses. If you choose a superhero or a series of movies, you will inevitably abandon your own personality; if you choose your own personality, you will most likely miss those waves. A surge of popularity.

Now Paul faces a choice again.

"And I want to start again." Paul said calmly.

Behind such a simple sentence, it is too complicated to start-no one can really understand how much the accident of this car accident has had on Paul's life trajectory, not even Lanly. Only Paul knew that all the vicissitudes and intricacies were hidden in this simple sentence.

Mei Duo still couldn't react, and fell into a brief state of blankness.

Until now, Mei Duo still remembers the first time he watched his father's performance on the big screen.

Although Paul never missed Meadow’s childhood, Meadow did not have much impression of Paul’s work. Both his father and mother were silent-occasionally mentioning that Paul was an office worker who needed to travel frequently. Hawaii is a remote place with simple folk customs and simple life. The Internet is developed but the children cannot be kept in the room. Mei Duo still prefers to play outdoors. Outdoor activities such as surfing, mountain climbing and rock climbing have filled her life. Makes Mei Duo never know his father's fame.

So later, when Mei Duo accidentally heard the name "Paul Walker" from her classmates, she foolishly joked with everyone, "Hey, the actor's name is exactly the same as my father's name", and then a group of their friends I was still there, pretending that Mei Duo was the heroine in "The Princess Diaries", unexpectedly discovered that his father was really the famous actor Paul Walker, and then triggered a romantic and wonderful journey to Hollywood...and so on.

While fantasizing, joking, and joking, Mei Duo and her friends went to the cinema with enthusiasm, ready to watch "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 4"-Mei Duo was only nine years old at the time, and the movie rating was PG- 13. This also means that they are not allowed to watch this movie. As a result, a group of little guys sneaked into the auditorium in the dark. The thrilling story is still vivid.

But more importantly, when Medot saw Paul on the big screen, that moment is still lifelike.

The "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" series is obviously more than just a set of movies for Mei Duo; but now, Paul has decided to leave the series officially?

Paul seemed to be aware of Mei Duo’s surprise and astonishment. He cast a small smile at his daughter, "I hope to watch Mei Duo grow up, watch her stumble and smash her head, and watch her again. Stand up and create a world with your own hands." The plain words are moving, but they are not the whole story. "I also hope to be an actor and regain the enthusiasm I started at the beginning. Maybe I won't become a master with outstanding acting skills, but I can still perform a different life on film."

For Meadow and for himself, Paul made the decision to turn around and leave.

Mei Duo greeted his father's sight, a thin layer of warmth appeared in his eyes, biting his lower lip lightly, and nodding vigorously to express affirmation.

Paul's smile bloomed, and his eyes returned to Lan Li, "So, I decided to join. No matter how much risk I need to face, I have no problem."

Renly could feel Paul's firm conviction. He didn't say much, but only gently expressed his agreement with his jaw.

"Looking back, I need to meet with my accountant to see how much assets I still have. UU reading www.uukanshu.com these years, all my expenses have been concentrated in the garage, maybe I can put some Transfer the collection to friends..." At this point, Paul noticed the surprise in Lan Li's eyes, and he quickly explained.

"It's not about selling irons, but just sharing with each other. You know, for us car lovers, it is also one of the values ​​of collection to be able to meet friends who admire good cars. My collection has exceeded fifty cars in the future. Surely he won't run out for drag racing so frequently, Mei Duo will definitely not agree."

There is no need to say anything, Renly and Paul can see Mei Duo put on a "mother Yaksha" look, as if saying: If you dare to drag the car indiscriminately, you can figure it out?

Lanly and Paul both laughed.

"So, I can transfer some of the collections to my fellow fans. The value of a good car should be reflected on the road, not in the garage. In addition, I will sort out some working capital funds, and finally I will write you a copy. Check." Paul said simply, "Compared to your assets, I may not be too much here, but at least, I can help get closer to the 2 billion goal."

Lan Li could feel Paul’s full support. Without much words, thanks were pale and weak. Their friendship far exceeded those polite remarks, so Lan Li joked with a chuckle, "This is terrible." , The responsibility is getting bigger and bigger. Originally, I just thought that it’s okay to bankrupt myself, anyway, I don’t care too much. But now the problem is serious. For Mei Duo, I should roll up my sleeves and work hard. "

Not for Paul, but for May's dowry?

"Lan Li!" Looking at the overwhelmingly happy Lan Li and Paul, Mei Duo rolled his eyes and exclaimed.
