Looking back, Universal Pictures originally chose Renly because of Dawn Johnson's salary issue. Later, because of his salary issue, it started a long tug-of-war for a year. Universal Pictures was cautious and even stingy. Stingy is obvious, this is one of the important indicators of Long Meyer's operating company.

But this time, the pay issue of the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 8" crew was slashed. From the time Paul informed Universal Pictures of his final decision to the finalization of all pay negotiations, it took only time. It was only two weeks, and the dust settled before Diesel realized the seriousness of the problem.

the reason?

In order to avoid greater loss of profits, but also to avoid more interest disputes, Universal Pictures has found a new relative balance by sacrificing a small part of its profits, and re-established the tone without any hesitation or hesitation.

In the face of real interests, Diesel can also be sacrificed, and Ron Meyer's turnaround does not even require more thinking. The progress of the whole process can be called a thunderbolt, and Lang Meyer has once again shown his own iron fist, which is far from the previous image of procrastination and indecision.

After this, it can be concluded that it is not that Diesel cannot be replaced, but that he has not found a way to check and balance; it is not that Ron Meyer is small, but there is not enough interest to make him show decisiveness. As one of the six major Hollywood studios, 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 can't catch it all. Through Fisher and the agency, Diesel exerted tremendous pressure on Universal Pictures: He also threatened the crew to withdraw! If Universal Pictures does not increase his box office dividend percentage, then he will leave like Paul.

This is Diesel's killer!

Diesel thought Universal Pictures would compromise, and Paul’s withdrawal made them unable to withstand the departure of another pillar, otherwise the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" series might be completely suspended, which would be a heavy blow to the audience, Universal The film industry will inevitably do its best to save Diesel.

But this time Diesel's grasp of the situation has lost his precision.

Universal Pictures did not rush to negotiate with Diesel, but used a "drag" decision to stabilize Diesel, neither refused nor agreed. It was just constantly crying about its difficulties and constantly complaining about the crew’s smog. , 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 can say whatever he likes to listen to.

But the problem is that Diesel can't see Ron Meyer, or even Neil Moretz, the biggest producer of the "Fast and Furious" series. He can only wrestle with the producer in charge of the budget. In this way, there is no decision and no movement. It seems that Diesel is enjoying a unique treatment, but there is no progress at all, let alone the solution and promotion of the core problem.

Universal Pictures once again showed the meaning of the phrase "ginger is still hot". Diesel was stuck in a position where he couldn't go down. There was no way to turn around, and there was no way to borrow the donkey from the slope. It was like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to advance or retreat, and then Diesel heard the latest situation——

The rumor with Dawn Johnson and Jason Statham as the core, and the rumor with Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster as the core are both on the agenda.

After the great success of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5", Universal Pictures has been proactively promoting the creation of Luke Hobbes' rumored project. The project was strongly opposed by Diesel, and Renly was unmoved, which also forced Universal Pictures to shelve the idea of ​​expanding the universe.

Now the old thing is brought up again.

The rumored project of Dawn and Jason had long been expected, but the project of Michelle and Jordana was an unexpected 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 for play, lack of fighting and drag racing due to the innate setting. The role of the scene is more as the image of the homeland of 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 has left, and Mia Toledo should also leave. Although she is still Dominique Toledo’s sister, if Mia appears, Brian’s stay will change. It's very ambiguous/ambiguous, which is very tricky for subsequent plot arrangements.

But now Universal Pictures has the answer: Jordana will join Michelle to make a rumored movie, telling the story of Mia and Letty-Letty is Dominic’s girlfriend and Mia’s young friend , The adventure story between them does have a lot of room for development.

Can tell the story before Mia and Brian met, can tell the story of Mia sneaking out after handing over the family to Brian, can tell the story of Letty encountering difficulties and asking Mia for help, can tell the story of Mia and Letty Men create a story that belongs to their own world, and they can also tell stories where men are responsible for causing troubles and women are responsible for cleaning up...and so on, there is endless space for imagination between the characters, and there is no need to worry about Paul’s absence. The impact of coming, because Diesel will also be absent from this rumor.

It is foreseeable that this is one of the requirements that Paul strongly promoted after he left the crew. He would never want his departure to affect Jordan's career. This is the last thing Paul wants to see, so the rumored project It's a matter of course.

The difference from the previous projects that were still in the womb is that for the two rumored projects, Universal Pictures’ determination is very firm, bypassing Diesel directly, pushing the project hard, and they are now officially put on the agenda; at the same time; , The Outreach Project also got the consent of 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 "speed and excitement/emotion" universe. Just like the Marvel universe, popular characters can gradually open up their own independent biography. This is undoubtedly This is the ultimate goal Universal Pictures has always hoped to achieve.

If Diesel can agree, it is naturally best; but even if Diesel disagrees or even withdraws from the series, Universal Pictures is mentally prepared-Diesel even realizes a possibility if he Also left the crew, will Universal Pictures spend a lot of money to invite Ren Li and Paul back? Then recreate the series?

This idea has just begun to grow wildly after the sprouts emerged.

Paul left the crew and was escorted by Lan Li. He didn't need to worry about future performance opportunities; but Diesel left the crew, what else could he do? "Speed ​​and excitement/emotion" is all he has.

What else can he do? Does he have any other options? Although he also wanted to leave impulsively, he left Universal Pictures and "speed and excitement/love" all behind his head in a rage, and he swaggered to announce that he could still break out after abandoning the shackles of the series. Heaven and earth, but... he still couldn't do it after all.

He can't do it!

Diesel's whole thoughts were ashamed: Universal Pictures was sure 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 on the eighth cooperation agreement, he also refused to establish the project of the rumored film, and he refused to divide his power in the crew; On the one hand, he was helpless, all attempts and efforts were unable to open the situation and change the status quo, and his eyes were blank.

After experiencing repeated defeats at the beginning of the year, just when he thought that things could not get 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 brilliance seemed to be dull and old, and even the wrinkles between the eyebrows were dyed. A layer of fatigue and frustration linger, making the surrounding air gloomy and cold.

Fisher met Diesel's gaze, he was considering how he should answer.

He can be said to be in a state of chaos. For example, the current dormancy is for the rise of the future. For example, Universal Pictures is just a bluff and dare not give up Diesel. For example, Diesel should unite with Michel and Tyrese to redevelop the layout. For example, the one who laughs last is the real winner. For example, Universal Pictures’ strength is just an empty shell. Diesel can still put enough pressure on foreign films...and so on~www.novelhall.com~ The agent has a thousand and ten thousand ways to fool his own actors. Those scenes and words can stun the actors.

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 are a smart person. Those guys who think you're just an athlete have all missed it. So, do you want to solve the problem or the cruel truth?" Fisher Er is a ruthless agent. If Diesel is of no use value, he can now give up Diesel without hesitation, or even hesitate. Between feeding honey and arsenic, Fisher You chose the latter.

Diesel's brain is like a paste, and there is no way to function normally. The situation in the recent period has been completely out of control, and he doesn't know what to do. Now looking at Fisher, the first reaction in his mind is: He doesn't want to know the truth, because the truth is often difficult to resist; but... does he have a way out?

He is standing next to the abyss now, there is no way to retreat! If you retreat, you will be crushed.

"The truth." Diesel found that his voice was horribly hoarse, like a tramp who hadn't had a full meal for ten and a half months, so embarrassed.
