1379 Cut off future troubles
“John, you... you can't do this! We've already agreed, you can't do this! "Melissa finally found her voice and said anxiously, repeating the same words over and over again. In panic, Melissa was breaking down bit by bit..
it's not fair.
Indeed, this is a fact, but it is also reality.
John ignored Melissa, but looked at Renly, casting a questioning look, as if he was seeking Renly's opinion: Should they get closer and complete the exchange of information? Or should communication be conducted in a more confidential manner, if it is breaking news?？
Renly glanced at the lost Melissa with the corner of his sight, and the smile on his lips rose, and he said nonchalantly, "I intend to return to the 'Fast and Furious' series, but obviously there are still obstacles now. Come down and we can wait and see how things will develop..”
This is a detailed plan drawn up by Andy Rogers.
On the one hand, this is another warning to Vin Diesel. After the "Guardians of the Galaxy" incident, there was concern that Diesel might unreasonably vent his anger on people like Paul Walker or Jason Statham, and now Renly Let the news out that this incident was initiated by him. If there are any problems, just come over..
On the other hand, this is a tip to Universal Pictures. The focus is not on the "Fast and Furious" series, but on the reboot series of "Jurassic Park". Renly took the initiative to extend an olive branch and hoped that Ron Meyer would Be able to adjust your mentality as soon as possible and take the first step bravely in cooperation negotiations..
During the past period, Andy had been looking for the right opportunity and the right way to deliberately spread the news; unexpectedly, the opportunity came to his door, and Renly completed the job smoothly. Through the paparazzi in front of him If it spreads, he won't be suspicious, after all, the time is right now.
Sure enough, John's pupils opened slightly and he couldn't believe his ears..
John didn't understand the game between Steven Spielberg, Ron Meyer, and Renly Hall. Naturally, he couldn't find out about "Jurassic Park", but he immediately Captured the underlying message - obstacles? What exactly is the obstacle? Vin Diesel’s name jumped out instantly.
Now, things get exciting！
Diesel obviously does not want Renly to return to the series, and Renly also said that Diesel is the only obstacle to his return. Coupled with the negative news that has been disturbing the "Fast and Furious" crew in the past period, how will things develop? It's really thought-provoking.
By the way, there is a story behind why John is so excited..
On May 24th, "Fast and Furious 6" and "The Hangover 3" officially premiered on the same day. Although Renly was not present, the red carpet of the former's premiere was still bustling and became one of the hottest events this year. One of the most anticipated works of the summer, and then released with great success at the box office, it cannot be said to be disappointing, but it cannot be said to be happy either..
Ninety-seven million, this is the opening weekend box office of "Fast and Furious 6".
Compared with the fifth part of the series two years ago, the premiere figure only increased by two million US dollars, which is really unsatisfactory; more importantly, before the film was released, industry insiders generally predicted the film’s premiere The weekend data should have reached between 120 million and 140 million, but the final premiere data failed to break the 100 million threshold, which is inevitably a regret..
However, the premiere box office of 97 million still successfully maintained the level of the previous movie. Overall, it is still a gratifying news. For this reason, Universal Pictures held a special celebration banquet to congratulate the continuation of the series of movies. A successful model, which also means that the grand blueprint of the seventh and eighth parts can indeed be continuously promoted..
But then, the box office of "Fast and Furious 6" ushered in an avalanche of 64% the next week. It only earned 35 million US dollars in weekend box office, and the cumulative box office in two weeks was 170 million US dollars. eleven million dollars.
For horizontal comparison, the same period data of "Fast and Furious 5" was a 38% drop, with a weekend box office of US$58.9 million. In addition, the cumulative box office in two weeks was as high as US$193 million..
In just two weeks, the sixth part of the series has officially lagged behind the previous one, and the box office trend is obviously sluggish. From media reputation to audience feedback, it has fallen behind. This also means that the sixth part wants to set a new high. It was almost impossible. The following third week saw another 45% box office drop, confirming people's suspicions..
Although the box office has exceeded 200 million in three weeks, the sixth film's possibility of catching up with the fifth film's 300 million in North America has been completely eliminated, and even the overseas box office has been far away..
In terms of pure box office revenue, Universal Pictures can still make a lot of money, and this is still a successful sequel; but from the perspective of the long-term layout of the seventh and eighth films, Universal Pictures is starting to worry. , what went wrong? Will the box office of the sequel fall instead of rising? The appeal and audience stickiness of the series are declining, what should they do? Has the vitality of the series begun to wither?？
For Universal Pictures, which is not good at making sequels, this is indeed something to panic about..
It was against this background that Renly revealed this news. Even if he was thinking on his knees, John could guess what kind of uproar this would cause.！
“Wow." John couldn't help but marvel and couldn't wait to ask, "So, what if the media asks you？”
The news cannot be just rumors. All media will definitely look for the parties involved for confirmation..
“I won't admit it, but I won't deny it either." Renly said with a smile. What Andy is seeking is a bigger puzzle, that is, the right to speak against the six major film companies, not just a "Fast and Furious" movie. /Love" and a "Jurassic Park", so all Renly needs to do is remain silent and leave everything else to Andy.
John snapped his fingers, "That's enough. That's enough！”
The whole person started chattering back and forth excitedly, and then he realized something. He spread his right hand, completely broke the memory card in front of Renly, and threw it into the sewer entrance nearby..
Without too many words, the meaning couldn't be clearer. In comparison, Melissa's trick today was too clumsy and vulgar. There was no need to hype it up. Between the choices, John still made it easily. Made a choice.
“God! Oh, God! "Melissa covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed in disbelief. Her whole body fell apart like this and she screamed crazily, "No! No no no! No！”
John completely ignored Melissa's reaction. He faced Renly and glanced at the desperate Melissa with his peripheral vision. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to you today. Do you need my help? Use the guidance of public opinion." , kicked her out of the crew？”
“Thanks for the suggestion. But I guess it doesn't matter to me." Renly said with a smile..
But John was still eager to give it a try and tried his best to express his gratitude, "Are you sure?？”
“Yes, I'm sure." Renly said with certainty..
John showed a look of disappointment, and it was almost impossible to hide the regret and regret that he was trying his best to prove his loyalty but had nowhere to vent his efforts. But then, he still touched his head and said reluctantly. , "Then...then I'll leave first. I apologize again for today's incident. There will never be a next time.".”
Renly's smiling jaw.
John turned around and took two steps, but still turned around without giving up, "Are you sure? I can help..." Renly didn't say anything, just looked at John with a smile, which made him swallow the words behind him, and he was stunned. He waved his hand, turned and left.
John deeply believed that Joey was right and that Renly was a good man..
If Renly knew what John was thinking, he would laugh it off.
Renly did not intend to kick Melissa out of the crew, but it was not because he was a "good person"”.
To be honest, if Renly wanted to, it would be a one-sentence matter; and the same goes for finding a replacement. It could be done in twenty-four hours, or at most forty-eight hours. Melissa's role in "The Boomstick" was not meant to be The important key is more of a symbol with symbolic meaning..
But Renly's considerations were more comprehensive..
Replacing Melissa now, on the one hand, may affect the filming of "Breaking Drummer", as a last-minute change is inherently full of variables; on the other hand, Melissa's plan may succeed. She only needs to complain to the media that she was fired. There is a reason for the breaking news to come out. No matter what the truth is, whether it can be clarified, or whether the treatment can be completed later, Renly will inevitably become a "stepping stone" to help Melissa achieve her goal..
For Renly, there are many things that he hates and excludes. One of them is affecting his work as an actor, and the other is becoming a stepping stone..
If you fire Melissa, both of them will be taken advantage of; on the contrary, keeping Melissa will be a wiser and simpler choice..
Firstly, Melissa's role scenes are not many. As Renly said, there are only three scenes before and after. The filming work is relatively simple and can be completed quickly; secondly, it is a small matter. If Renly With a lot of fanfare, small things become big things, which actually makes Melissa happy..
Thirdly, after the filming, time passed and Renly did not need to confront Melissa head-on. He only needed to spread the news in the circle, or spread the news through John. He believed that Melissa's life would be even more difficult. It may even have nothing to do with the film industry at all..
There are many ways to deal with this matter. Firing Melissa on the spot is the simplest and crudest, and will leave the most problems. Renly is a decisive person, he will not be soft-hearted, and he will not be soft-hearted. Even if he decides to take action to solve the problem, Then we should be decisive and clear-cut, and achieve the most effective results in the simplest way..
John's idea is wrong, Renly is not a good person. Never has been.
