1587 Initiating intention to quit
Reluctant to part with it.
Paul is an actor who attaches great importance to friendship. For many ordinary viewers, one of the core reasons why Paul has not left the "Fast and Furious" crew is that his acting career is relatively narrow and he is not qualified to perform in other works. He and This is true for Diesel; but for Paul, what he can't bear to part with is always the partners he knows well and fights side by side with..
Of course, Paul would not deny this either.
When he originally chose to return to the fourth part of the series, it was indeed because his career had reached a bottleneck. Returning to a sequel series was obviously a simpler and more relaxed choice; but now that times have changed, Paul no longer needs to worry about his career and income. Well, in the past two years, he has four other works besides "Fast and Furious". What's more, he has never been the type to be greedy for more power and a better life. If he chooses to turn around and leave, it will be completely no problem.
From the first "Fast and Furious" in 2001 to now, twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye. No one thought that this series could develop to what it is today. Over the years, the crew members have come and gone. Turn around, some leave forever, some leave and come back, and some follow all the way... Just like a big family, they spend a long time with each other in a playful manner..
After all, I still can’t bear it..
But unexpectedly, Paul had the intention to quit for the first time today, which made Renly slightly surprised, "Have things really reached such a bad point?？”
“No, it's not." Paul chuckled, "I'm just tired of these trivial intrigues. I really like this crew, but now the crew is starting to divide sides, Fan..." At this point, Paul paused. , exhaled lightly, and his smile couldn't help but turn bitter, "You know him, he will never stop or give up..”
What Paul didn't say was that Dawn wouldn't back down either. Because in the field of action movies, Diesel and Dawn are already head-to-head opponents, with partially overlapping styles and characteristics, so it's impossible for them to coexist peacefully..
Renly agreed with this.
If we follow the historical trajectory, after Paul passed away, the Diesel family dominated the "Fast and Furious" crew, but later Dawn also gradually established a foothold in Hollywood.——
Especially in 2015, the HBO series "The Players" and "Armageddon" brought Dawn to the front line for the first time. Later, "Oolong", "Moana", "Jumanji: The Jungle Book" "The huge success of his works such as "The Big Brother" has made him the new money-grabbing king, and he has confirmed to star in the DC Universe's "Black Adam", officially joining the superhero family..
Dawn's upward curve is more stable and solid than Diesel's. More importantly, Dawn himself is a rugby player and a wrestler. He is bold and generous, has no airs, and has an enthusiastic and direct personality. This makes him a popular player in the Hollywood industry. The popularity outside has opened up the situation.
Therefore, during the filming of "Fast and Furious 8", the conflict between Diesel and Dawn was directly announced to the public, and they were completely at odds. Dawn won the commanding heights of public opinion, and many people in the industry stood on Dawn's side..
On the one hand, Diesel learned that Universal Pictures was preparing to start spin-offs for the characters of Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, and he was the last to know. In anger, he asked Universal Pictures to " The Easter eggs at the end of the movie "Fast and Furious 8" that paved the way for the spin-off have been deleted.
At that time, Universal Pictures had sent the copies to major theaters, and reporters from major media had already watched the full version during internal test screenings; but Diesel refused to give in, got furious, and forcefully forced Universal Pictures to The industry changed its mind, removed all copies, deleted the Easter eggs, and then re-released it. The Easter eggs were included in the Blu-ray disc..
On the other hand, Dawn also refused to compromise, and even refused to shake hands and make peace during the promotion of "Fast and Furious 8". At that time, Dawn had successfully joined the forefront, and he did not need to beg to join "Fast and Furious 8". series, but Universal Pictures begged Dawn to stay..
Especially now that Paul has passed away, Universal Pictures hopes to support Dawn and Jason to form a new triangle with Diesel to continue shooting the series of movies for a long time. Therefore, although Universal Pictures is The Easter egg was forced to be removed, but the rumored movie was still on the agenda and officially approved..
At the same time, Diesel still did not give up his protest, repeatedly emphasizing that he absolutely absolutely protested against the filming of the spin-off movie, and even threatened to withdraw from the series of movies..
At the same time, Michelle Rodriguez expressed dissatisfaction because the crew put all the focus on the three male actors and completely ignored their female counterparts. "The Fast and the Furious/ "Love" series can be successful, and female characters definitely occupy a part of the credit book. Michelle believes that they should get more respect..
Such a move made the sensitive Diesel furious. He found Michelle head-on and accused Michelle of betraying his trust. He asked Michelle to choose a side, otherwise the matter would not be over. This also forced Michelle to Schell had to publicly state that she had no intention of targeting Diesel and was merely protesting to the film company..
Faced with Diesel's jumping up and down, Dawn didn't even care - he should finally understand Renly's decision after "Fast and Furious 5", because he also decisively stated publicly that he was very He may be absent from the filming of "Fast and Furious 9"; and he has privately given Universal Pictures an ultimatum. He is not just talking about it. He will "definitely" be absent from the ninth part of the series..
Diesel threatens to quit.
Dawn might as well just quit..
Universal Pictures immediately understood the strong connection. They emphasized that the spin-off series was imperative, and simply postponed the filming of the ninth part. In line with Dawn's schedule, they took the lead in filming the spin-off series and temporarily shelved the ninth part; Then he ordered Diesel to ease the conflict between him and Dawn, otherwise the ninth film will continue to be shelved..
Until Renly was reborn, the matter still could not be effectively resolved: because Dawn's schedule was already full, even if he was busy all year round, Dawn was always unhurried after the Gaiden series was put on the agenda. , did not start filming immediately; and there has been no more news about the ninth part of the series..
Now, Paul has understood this: there is no way for Diesel and Dawn to coexist, just like Diesel refused to compromise with Renly..
The difference between Renly and Dawn is that Renly is still an artistic actor in the final analysis. He always maintains a relaxed attitude that focuses on participation in commercial movies and chooses to leave the "Fast and Furious" series. Renly does not need any struggle and struggle at all. Hesitant; but Dao En must try his best to fight for himself and cannot give up easily. Only when his wings are full can he be able to completely break his skin..
After Paul sighed deeply, he looked at Renly and said half-jokingly, "Otherwise, if you return to our series now and join the filming of the eighth part, then the crew will become exciting again..”
Universal Pictures is negotiating with Renly about two series of works, "Fast and Furious" and "Jurassic Park". Of course, Paul cannot know anything about it, but now all the decision-making power is in Renly's hands. Universal Pictures accidentally dug a hole and buried itself in it, but now it’s in trouble..
Thinking further, with Dawn before him and Renly behind him, Diesel is now facing a huge crisis, and the alarm is sounding all over, so it is not difficult to understand his strength in the crew; and actions such as being late are also tests. Keeping the bottom line and limits of Universal Pictures in mind, and planning based on Ron Meyer’s reaction attitude. This is also a possibility..
From Renly's point of view, Diesel has never understood that actors can coexist with each other instead of being enemies; it's just that for Diesel, power and control are obviously more important than the work itself..
However, this is just Renly's own speculation. He has not spoken to Diesel and knows nothing about the International Innovation Management Company's blueprint..
Before Renly could answer, Meadow was already excited, "Okay, okay! That must be very exciting! Renly fights Dwayne Johnson, wait, no, Renly is also an FBI agent, so it's Lanly Li and Dawn team up to fight Vin Diesel, haha, just thinking about it, I'm looking forward to it！”
“What about me? Paul raised his voice in protest.
Mei Duo, however, had already begun to think, "Otherwise, you should surrender and join Renly in killing everyone. No, no, no, you and Renly should confront each other head-on, fall in love and kill each other, eh, eh, I think this is better It looks good, you know, it’s just a kind of brotherhood but they have to be stained with each other’s blood.……”
What is the direction of this story?？
Renly shook his head slightly, "Rather than wade through the muddy waters together, it's better for us to start our own business together.？”
Renly half-jokingly suggested, "We could look for the right ideas to work together on, like on 'Edge of Tomorrow.' Like, a remake of 'Ocean's Eleven'? And then bring in Ryan Gosling, Jessica - Call up Chastain, Tom Holland, Rooney Mara, etc., and maybe ask Jake Gyllenhaal if he's interested..”
However, the blueprint outlined in a few words made Meadow stop completely and widened his eyes, "Wow! Wait, wow! This must be very exciting! You can work together to make your own Avengers!" I will definitely use my pocket money to go to the cinema to show my support！”
“Haha." Meadow's joy and excitement made Paul's mood clear again, "Things can't be that easy..”
“but! However, as long as Renly calls, I don’t think anyone will refuse, right? "Mei Duo couldn't hold back her excitement and sat up directly. She looked at Renly expectantly, her shining eyes like the dazzling stars twinkling in the sky..
Renly also discussed it enthusiastically, "Maybe we can hold a party, call everyone together, and then we can write a script ourselves, just like the one by James Franco and Seth Rogen this summer. Comedy movies like 'Armageddon' where everyone plays themselves in the movie is a nice idea.”
“"The End of the World", a spoof comedy from the Bad Boys, is Renly serious?？
Paul couldn't help laughing while lying next to him..
