1883 resign yourself to fate
A choice. Fight to the end.
Diesel looked at Fisher's emotionless face. The heat of irritation and anxiety continued to boil in his chest. After all, he couldn't suppress it. He couldn't help but sit up straight. "Suck it up? What do you mean? , can I just accept it now? Can’t I fight back?？”
“……I mean, uh, I mean, can't I team up with Chris Morgan or Hiram Garcia? Even, I can join forces with Neal Moretz, you know, I can sacrifice part of the interests as a bargaining chip, and then in exchange for control within the crew, retain the final say on the script, and the right to make suggestions for casting.”
“Or maybe I can't co-operate with the person in the production department... uh, Amanda Cohen, yes, that's Amanda. She has always complained about Neil, and she had many confrontations with Neil on the set. Conflict, she wasn't afraid of Neil at all, was she? We can join forces to fight for more power and seize control of the crew. Isn’t that possible?？”
“Or else, or else...don't we have projects on hand that we are negotiating with Sony, Disney and Paramount? Have you forgotten? What's the name of that film company from China? What's it called? Is China Film Co., Ltd. a limited company? Is that the name? This is the company that is going to invest in 'The Last Witch Hunter'. We can also unite with them and get them to stand on our side to fight against Renly! Isn't this how Renly treated me before? I can fight back too, right?？”
“Those film investment companies from China are all very wealthy. All they need is a few gold coins leaking from their fingers. This is enough. We can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood and open up overseas markets. , right? Right! It was a gold mining field. You must have heard the rumors, right? The fee for a casual appearance there is millions of dollars, and there is no need to spend any effort at all. And then you can also leverage the capital of Wall Street, and we will have our own strength to compete, eh？”
Diesel is a little crazy.
Fisher did not open his mouth to refute, but just looked at Diesel quietly, waiting for him to pour out all his whims. Then he watched that face become excited again, even slightly distorted, as if it had already It was like he was crushing Renly under his feet..
“Fisher? How about it? What do I think? You can add more based on my ideas. I believe you can come up with a more complete counterattack plan. We still have a chance, right? We can still get Universal to change their mind, we can still take control of the show again, right? "Diesel stared at Fisher with his eyes widened, foaming at the mouth, and asked one question after another, almost going crazy..
But Diesel didn't get a response from Fisher, and gradually, gradually he began to become nervous. The fear once again firmly grasped his heart, tightening it bit by bit, and then the whole heart curled up. , almost unable to breathe, "Why not? You tell me why not? If my plan doesn't work, then you tell me what should I do? Ah! Tell me! Aren't you boasting? International Innovation Management Company is not afraid of that at all Guy? What's going on now? Talk!！”
Fisher was still sitting behind his desk, staring at Diesel with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a corpse..
With such a look, Diesel inexplicably recalled Andy Rogers. When filming "Fast and Furious 5", he caused an accident, causing Renly to be slightly injured in the fight, and then settled down. Di appeared in front of him and spoke cold and biting words with that smiling face.：
“Believe it or not, I can directly ruin your reputation and end your acting career. And Christian Wagner dare not say a word.？”
It turns out that Andy was right. Christian Wagner didn't dare to say a word, and now Fisher Morgan didn't dare to say a word either..
Diesel was stunned again.
“Let me tell you what will happen next." Fisher's tone remained calm, "First, in the 'Fast and Furious' crew, you can cooperate with other producers, but do you think Dawn- Will Johnson and Michelle Rodriguez sit still and wait for death? Why Renly supports them to become producers is because their ambition will never be lower than yours. And do you think Neal Moretz and Amanda Cohen will choose you or Renly?？”
Choose Diesel or Renly?？
This is a math problem, not a difficult one, and it is also the biggest gap between Diesel and Renly.——
When Diesel was still trapped in his own world, caring about his own immediate interests; Renly had raised the entire battlefield to a new level and had become a vague player. Now the two are not on the same level at all, Diesel You also lost the largest capital to compete with it..
“After Paul left, the crew of "Fast and Furious" has completely become an open situation. Renly's promotion and Ron Meyer's concerns can be said to hit it off, leaving no chance for Diesel to fight back. Fisher Clearly understand this, so Diesel's choice to leave the crew is the wisest choice. This will push Universal Pictures into a desperate situation, but Diesel does not have such courage, so things are back to where they started..
“Second, it is the right idea to join forces with other film companies to create a way out, but none of these can help you alleviate the dilemma in the "Fast and Furious" crew. This is to reopen your career situation, even if you leave In the role of Dominic Toledo, you are still not without a job. One thing you must realize is: to Sony, Disney and Paramount, you are not the only one; but to you, they are you life-saving straw.”
As an agent, Fisher is more eager to find a solution than anyone else, because his commission is directly linked to Diesel's income, and he is the one who most hopes that Diesel can continue to be strong..
But equally, as a broker, Fisher must judge the situation calmly, stop losses in time, make correct choices, and then find a better way out. He must not hang himself on a tree. Continuing his career is the most important task..
Looking at Diesel who is still refusing to wake up, Fisher is revealing the truth step by step. He must let Diesel wake up quickly, otherwise things will only get more and more difficult. This is not what Fisher wants to see. Arrived.
“Fan, all you need to worry about now is whether Renly can cover the sky with one hand and influence the decisions of other film companies. What we can be sure of now is that if Renly opens his mouth, both Disney and Sony may consider his suggestions. ……calm! calm! "Seeing that Diesel was about to explode, Fisher kept saying, "Of course they can't be at the mercy of Renly, and we can't just surrender, but the problem is that things will become more difficult and eventually lead to an exchange of interests. In this link, our bargaining chips are not as rich as Renly's..”
“How...how dare he! Why did he want to kill them all! Diesel stammered. The cruel truth caused his brain to completely freeze. Then, Renly's words in the hospital echoed in his mind again: I will make your life worse than death. All the sounds were like this It was strangled deep in the throat..
Fisher knew that his goal had been achieved, "So, we must seize the time now, adjust our mentality and position in time, and take the initiative! Believe me, Renly is not God. He cannot take care of everything. We still have to take care of everything." Have a chance！”
“I need you to cheer up, get back on the set of 'Fast & Furious', and maintain the relationship - at least a semblance of harmony, especially with Paul, who at this stage, no one wants to be an enemy of. , do you understand? Otherwise, the overwhelming public opinion can ruin your career without Renly taking action..”
“At the same time, I will start negotiations with Universal Pictures to strive for as much power and benefit for you as possible. You have advantages that no one else has: Dominic Toledo is the biggest signature of the series, and Universal Pictures will not Even if things get done, they still want to make money. As long as you show your persistence, we still have a chance of winning..”
“In addition, we need to speed up cooperation negotiations with several other projects. If necessary, we can even sacrifice some interests in exchange for cooperation opportunities. The point is that we need to open up the situation and fight for you outside of the 'Fast and Furious' project. To get more performance opportunities, only in this way can we straighten our backs and change the situation.”
Effortlessly, Fisher was fully convinced of his plan. For the sake of long-term interests, short-term interests can be sacrificed. He still hopes that Diesel's career can continue-even if it is temporarily lost in "Fast and Furious 8" After gaining territory, we can regain our advantage in the ninth or even tenth part in the future. This is the right choice..
Diesel still couldn't come to his senses, "Then...then we just admit defeat?" His thoughts were still stuck on the seventh and eighth parts, and his vision was still not far-sighted enough after all..
Facing Diesel's blank eyes, Fisher had no patience to continue explaining, "Yes." He gave the answer simply and neatly..
“There is another way." Fisher's words made Diesel's eyes brighten up again, "You can pray, pray that Renly's career will suffer a waterloo, or even a complete collapse, and then he will be too busy to take care of himself, and naturally he will He has no time or energy to continue attacking you; and Universal Pictures will no longer stand on his side, so things will turn around soon. By the way, there is a chance recently, and you can Fingers crossed, 'Interstellar' is ready to be released soon, and if the box office collapses, maybe we can find an opportunity.”
Fisher was joking, but Diesel was taking it seriously: If "Interstellar" really collapsed at the box office, could he turn it around?？
