Paul Walker officially announced that after filming "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 7", he will leave the crew and end his career as Brian O'Connor.

Originally, this matter should be kept secret, but the development of the matter has not been able to conceal success after all.

After the traffic accident, when Paul was confined to bed, the crew had to consider various possibilities, because Paul’s condition had many variables, which also forced the screenwriters to consider other different endings for the film, which naturally included Paul. Regrettably, I couldn't escape the ending of Death Scythe, so conceiving a perfect ending for Brian O'Connor became a big problem for the screenwriters.

Later, Paul survived near death and recovered smoothly, and the crew was back on track, ready to complete the follow-up filming work according to the original idea; but unexpectedly, Paul decided to leave after careful consideration, even if Universal Pictures repeated many times. Persuasion also failed to change his mind, which also made the screenwriters have to re-adopt the ending that had been refrigerated before: officially bid farewell to Brian O'Connor in the movie ending.

The revision and change of the script naturally caused a lot of speculation within the crew.

Seeing that the speculation of the matter is getting more and more outrageous, in order to avoid infighting in the crew, and to avoid chaos in the team, and may even shift all the fault responsibility to Diesel, and then detonate all the mines that have hidden the crew for a long time. Take the initiative to come forward to clarify misunderstandings, and tell all the staff about the future, to avoid riots and confusion.

As a result, the matter has evolved from a confidential state to a semi-public state; furthermore, the matter has reached this point, Paul and Universal Pictures have reached a consensus after discussion, and they simply announced it in one go, actively explaining instead of passively waiting for the news. , All the bad things that may happen in the follow-up filming work of the crew are killed in the cradle in advance.

The semi-public state becomes a fully public state.

Although Paul and Universal Pictures have tried their best to explain all the twists and turns, but as Paul expected, he lived as Brian O’Connor for thirteen years. He is closely related to the crew of the crew. There is no way to pull the vines away immediately, and the distance between closeness and closeness has also led to inevitable position problems; what's more, in the past two years, Diesel has already caused a mess within the crew in order to control power. Everyone Can feel the crisis:

After Paul leaves, will the crew be controlled by Diesel?

The problem is here. Diesel is neither Renly nor Paul. He is definitely not a broad-minded shopkeeper. On the contrary, he is a type who needs to emphasize his sense of existence all the time. Furthermore, he needs to truly feel himself. The power of control, which also means that the crew is unlikely to be calm.

Some people like Diesel, and they are naturally happy to see it; but there are more people who don’t. Some like Paul, some reject Diesel, some want to be alone, and some support Dawn Johnson or Michel Rodri. Gerz or Tyrese Gibson and others, so what is going to happen now?

Since the success of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 4", the crew has always maintained a balance of "Diesel VS Paul". Even if it is Renly and Dawn, they have not been able to break such a situation, Diesel The prestige check and balance between Paul and Paul has also become the focus of the crew's balance, but now the balance has been broken, and no one can predict the direction of the next thing.

Will Diesel bloodbath the crew? Will Diesel rule out dissidents? Will Diesel control the overall situation? Furthermore, will Diesel, who has been increasing his role now, turn the movie into his own one-man show? So, where will the other characters and the story go? Where is the future of the film series? Without the constraints, will Diesel let go of his hands and feet uncontrollably? Will the crew have a full reshuffle?

Question marks after another began to surface, but no one could explain, even Diesel's cronies could not predict the next move.

Everything is unknown.

But obviously, it turns out that these worries are unnecessary. Ordinary workers have not been able to see a high level of management strategizing. The power struggle is obviously not a "black and white" mathematical problem. After the balance of "Paul VS Diesel" is broken, there may be many changes in the power structure. variable.

For example, the entire crew was completely shuffled and power was completely redistributed. Even Diesel became the target of the attack and weakening.

Some people say that this is a game played by Renly and Paul; but others say that this is a game that Universal Pictures has acquiesced in—things are far less simple than it seems.

Obviously, Universal Pictures has also realized that Diesel may be the dominant one, which will also change the overall power structure of the "speed and excitement/sentiment" crew. So, what does this mean? The crew of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is the best portrayal.

Because of Johnny Depp’s absolute strength, especially when Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom both withdrew from the project, this also made Johnny’s salary swell like a snowball, and may even need to occupy the crew. Fifty percent or more of the cost budget.

Under such circumstances, Disney's balance of payments is becoming more and more difficult. The fourth part of the series in 2011 was far below the expected effect, so that the fifth part of the series was always in the dystocia stage. But the real difficulty is Disney, not Johnny, because Johnny has stood in an invincible position with the recognition of Captain Jack Sparrow. Only Disney will be stuck in the dilemma between choices. hard to decide.

Does the whole development context sound familiar? "Speed ​​and excitement/emotion" is like this now.

Paul's departure—corresponding to the withdrawal of Keira and Orlando, and the rise of Diesel—corresponding to Johnny’s dominance. The next thing is foreseeable. Diesel can completely rely on his own against Dominic- The popularity and recognition of Toledo's role is used to control the crew; and Diesel is more ambitious than Johnny. Johnny is only asking for pay, but Diesel also requires control of the crew. He hopes Follow in the footsteps of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

Obviously, Universal Pictures does not want to get into Disney's troubles.

For the insiders, they can see a series of strategizing at the beginning of the year, forcing Universal Pictures to make a choice; but further, senior insiders can also see that Universal Pictures actually acquiesced in allowing this to happen. With the promotion of Lanli, the shuffle was completed smoothly, redistributing all the powers of the entire series of projects.

The game between power and interest is far from simple.

Finally, the "speed and excitement/emotion" crew has completed the reshuffle.

The crew that is currently preparing to shoot the seventh part still hasn’t changed much. They must work hard to complete the remake work, otherwise they may not be able to catch up with next year’s release schedule. This is the top priority; but the top crew can already feel the power. Frequent scheduling.

According to rumors, the eighth part of the series has been officially established. Dawn Johnson, Jason Statham, Michel Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson will all join Van Diesel’s ranks and become a joint A member of the producer; if nothing else, they will all be eligible for box office dividends. Among them, Jason and Tyrese are both 1.5%, Michelle is 2%, and Dawn and Diesel is 3%.

Relatively speaking, the number of paid pays has been slightly reduced. Only Diesel still maintains a level of 10 million, which shows his specialness-after all, he is still a veteran and an absolute protagonist; but it is worth noting that, Luda-Chris, Luke-Evans and Elsa-Pataki (Elsa-Pataky) starred in the previous works and other actors will increase their pay figures.

This also means that the main actors have received more attention. If Diesel wants to protest, then he must face the anger of the entire crew, and even the anger of the major Hollywood agencies.

This is not all.

Because now the seventh part is still in the midst of making up for filming, Universal Pictures has not rashly started to make plans for the next one. At present, everything is still in the discussion stage; but what is certain is that Universal Pictures is thinking about it. Inviting big-name actors to join the eighth part to play the big villain is a reference to the usual practice of the "007" series.

Regardless of whether this plan can take place, Universal Pictures' plan to further weaken the influence of the Diesel crew is already a certainty.

After reshuffling the cards, the crew now has another look:

Dawn Johnson is enough to confront Diesel head-on~www.novelhall.com~ He also has Jason’s support. In addition, Luke Evans and Elsa Partage are also weak actors. Get closer to them; Michelle, as the representative of the actress, is on her own. The relationship between her and Diesel seems to be close but opposite, because they are both fighting for more drama weight.

The most important thing is that Tyrese Gibson has also joined the ranks of producers, which is a betrayal for Diesel——

Tyrese has always been Diesel’s most steadfast supporter, but Diesel did not applaud Tyrese’s promotion and promotion. On the contrary, he believes that Tyrese is sharing his own interests and at the same time weakening. With his own power, such a betrayal caused a quarrel between Diesel and Tyrese. Not only did Tyrese fail to become an ally of Diesel, but he was also isolated.

Now Diesel is in a dilemma.

Originally, Diesel thought this was his own battlefield, and he still took the initiative, especially Paul's departure, which was worth applauding and celebrating. But before there was time to cheer, things had evolved into a different look.

In a blink of an eye, Diesel was already standing by the abyss, his situation was becoming more and more difficult and more dangerous, but he still didn't know what was going on.
