2349 Take the initiative
2015In April of this year, there is still a full month left before this summer's summer release. Universal Pictures' "Fast and Furious 7", which spent US$190 million to create, was officially released, adhering to the series' consistent "spring release strategy." Try to avoid the crowds of summer as much as possible and seize the time of late spring and early summer to warm up for the upcoming midsummer craze. This strategy has achieved excellent results in the past few years, and they choose to continue to stick to it..
This series of movies is undoubtedly an anomaly in Hollywood. It once experienced a double failure in word-of-mouth and box office for the third part, and was almost cut in half. However, it later regained its status in the fourth part, and in the fifth part Reached its peak, although the sixth part fell back slightly, it has still become one of the most vital series in North America..
The fifth work invited Renly, who was emerging at the time, to play FBI agent Luke Hobbes. This was considered a masterpiece of the series and is still one of the most charming characters on the big screen. However, Universal Pictures regrets that There was no way they could keep Renly in the cast list.
Until now, Universal Pictures' decision to miss Renly still makes countless movie fans brood. They can't help but assume: What if Renly is still around?？
But this is Hollywood. Movie series are eternal, and the main actors come and go. In the alternation of coming and going, only the movie itself can survive for a long time. Take a look. In the "Spider-Man" series, Sony Columbia Pictures has officially announced that it will abandon Andrew Garfield and officially start the casting process for a new Spider-Man, who will also become the third Spider-Man..
“"Doctor Who", "007", "Sherlock Holmes", etc. etc. are all like this..
What's even more regrettable is that Paul Walker, who grew up with the series of movies, has also officially confirmed his decision to leave the role of Brian O'Connor after the seventh movie. One of the two core members will officially be absent.
No one can blame Paul.
After experiencing a near-death car accident at the beginning of last year, it is a rare miracle that Paul can stand in front of movie fans. After that, for the sake of his family and himself, Paul decided to say goodbye to Brian O'Connor after careful consideration. Fans except Apart from sending my blessings with tears in my eyes, the only thing I can do is to go to the cinema to support the work "Fast and Furious 7" and say goodbye to the memories of my youth..
It is precisely because of this that the release of "Fast and Furious 7" has a unique and special significance.
Universal Pictures has shown absolute importance to it. From the preliminary publicity to the premiere ceremonies around the world, it has given the highest level of grand treatment, just like a carnival party, sending Paul off in the grandest and most lively way. Looking forward to the fans. able to reciprocate enthusiasm.
However, for Vin Diesel, this is not an easy task.
Paul is only part of the reason. Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson are the real main reasons..
“The filming schedule for "Fast and Furious 8" has been determined early, and all actors have successfully completed their signings. This also means that no matter what happens, the eighth movie is inevitable; however, Diesel and other actors The discordant rumors have spread uncontrollably..
Four actors, represented by Dwayne Johnson, joined the ranks of producers and divided the rights in Diesel's hands, weakening Diesel's control over the crew and triggering a small-scale power struggle within Universal Pictures. Rumors broke that Paul was actually forced out by Diesel.
Although the rumors have been clarified and Paul also issued an official statement, the noisy rumors on social networks have never dissipated. Negative remarks against Diesel are following, which will not only affect Diesel's image, but also This further affected Diesel's market appeal, and the final result was that Diesel, Dawn and others were at a disadvantage in the power struggle, losing territory step by step..
Not good, very bad.
On the contrary, Renly is no longer troubled by Diesel - that guy's position has climbed too high and too far, and is out of reach, not to mention Diesel, even Steven Spielberg Even the top guys in the industry like Tom Hanks have no choice but to succumb..
Diesel still doesn't like Renly, and even hates him. The behavior of those "hereditary nobles" is like sand in his eyes, which Diesel can't tolerate..
But in the whole of Hollywood, are there more than just one or two disgusting guys? Diesel can now accept Renly's arrogance and annoyingness, pretend that the guy doesn't exist, completely shake off the influence, and then focus on dealing with the jackals and tigers around him..
Do you regret it?？
Of course Diesel has thought about this issue, and he has regretted it and hesitated over it, but after seriously thinking about the results, he came to a definite and certain conclusion.：
If he had it to do over again, he would still make the same choice.
Renly's achievements just proved Diesel's original fears.：
He did surpass Diesel, he did achieve great things, and he did break the deadlock - Dawn and Jason, how could they have become the masters in such a short time without Renly's help? What about the filmmaker? Michelle and Tyrese, without Renly's instigation, how could they stand on the opposite side of Diesel?？
And Paul, Paul, who had never had any ambition or ambition, how could he have separated from Diesel without Renly's instigation?？
Diesel was right from the beginning. He expected that Renly would be a problem. His only regret was that he didn't strike harder and pinned down Renly before he got up. Death, in the final analysis, he was too kind and soft-hearted..
As for now, whether it's regret or regret, it's a done deal, so just accept it calmly. He is an upright character and will never dwell on the past. Since the world has been turned upside down, he will move on. His opponent Now that we have become Dawn and Michelle, let them compete to see what will happen in "Fast and Furious 8" and who can have the last laugh..
But before getting into "Fast & Furious 8," Diesel has one more problem to face: the London premiere of "Fast & Furious 7".
“The problem isn't Renly, it's the knock-on effects of "Renly's presence".
It is certain that Dawn and Jason's group will definitely surround Renly, not to mention Renly, which also means that Diesel may be isolated.——
In a highly anticipated event like the premiere, every move, word and deed may become the focus of analysis by netizens. How should Diesel quietly turn the tide? More importantly, even if Diesel is willing to approach Renly and extend an olive branch, what if Renly refuses?？
headache.
According to Diesel's usual habits, he tends to be more inclined to appear in the finale, letting all the spotlight and attention of the audience focus on himself, enjoying the pleasure of dominating the world; and, "speed and excitement" The premiere of "Love" is the only stage where Diesel can show himself. He can't get such treatment at other award ceremonies or movies. Who can blame him for enjoying his good time?？
But today, after careful consideration, Diesel unexpectedly chose to be the first to arrive at the premiere venue - Trafalgar Square, to take a preemptive strike.
Fans attending the London premiere packed the entire square to the brim, like the meandering Thames River converging here, vast and turbulent; the bright and coquettish red carpet started from the next street outside the square, extended all the way down, and then circled around. The outside of the square circled, like a question mark, the barb entered the inside of the square, and finally merged into the stage directly in front, gathering the focus of more than 5,000 people in the audience..
Diesel's first arrival at Trafalgar Square successfully set off a tsunami of cheers from the entire audience, gradually igniting the red carpet one by one. The noisy and dazzling frenzy was witnessed by the media present. The enthusiasm of fans of "Fast and Furious", and as the absolute core protagonist of the series, Diesel's popularity is still difficult to shake - even when Paul Walker was still on the crew, it was difficult to compare with Diesel..
With a bright smile on his face, Diesel interacted with the scene easily and freely, welcoming friends from all over the world as a host. After arriving at the center stage, he started fan service under the guidance of the host. Whether it was an interaction or an interview, he seemed to be at ease, and his naive smile revealed sincerity and enthusiasm. The cheers and shouts of the fans present were never able to calm down..
“Ahhhhh！”
“Ahhhhh！”
At the beginning of the red carpet, there was a burst of hoarse and fanatical screams, which were faintly out of control due to excessive excitement. The popping and popping sounds were like vibrations coming from deep underground, and the rumbling tremors were transmitted through the soles of the feet. Scalp, it seems a storm is brewing.
Diesel, who was being interviewed on the stage, took the initiative to stop, listened carefully for a moment, and then said into the microphone, "I guess it is our old friend who has arrived at the scene, what do you think?"？”
The host was slightly stunned, unable to keep up with Diesel's thoughts, and asked hesitantly, "You mean... Renly Hall？”
It was mainly an accident. He didn't expect Diesel to actually mention Renly on his own initiative, looking eager to try and making a warm welcome gesture..
Diesel did not hesitate, and just followed his original plan and said with a smile, "Of course, who else besides him can ignite such enthusiasm? Otherwise, let's make a bet to see if Renly arrives. the scene.”
