641 turn against each other
In the "Fast and Furious 5" crew, many people don't understand why Fan is so targeted at Renly. Is it just a personal grudge? Of course, this is the starting point, which is not unusual in Hollywood, but the real reason is the strong sense of crisis in interests and status..
When Fan and Renly faced each other for the first time in Telluride, he deeply felt that it was difficult for him to gain the upper hand in front of Renly, and he was even at a disadvantage many times. The threat posed was even stronger than that of Daun. This led to tit-for-tat confrontation between Fan and Renly, which can be explained by the incompatibility of auras, but it can also be explained by the beast-like dangerous intuition..
The subsequent series of small actions in the crew were more like testing and suppression than revenge. Fan had been trying to suppress Renly. But unfortunately, he failed, which made Fan definitely feel threatened. He realized , Renly has already established a firm foothold in the crew, and his upward momentum is almost unstoppable, so what’s next?？
What will happen next will be Fan's loss of power, slowly passing away from interests to power in all directions..
Two sequels plus a spin-off? Universal Pictures is simply losing their minds and going crazy! Six million plus box office dividends? He was treated like this even in the fourth part of the series! So what’s next? In the next step, Renly will further take over the "Fast and Furious" series. If even Paul stands on Renly's side, then Fan's status will be in jeopardy, not only in this series, but also in the entire actor's career. development context.
“The "Fast and Furious" series is more important to Fan than "Mission: Impossible" is to Tom Cruise, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is to Johnny Depp, and "Iron Man" is to Robert Jr. -Donnie.
Outside of "The Fast and the Furious", Fan has almost no box office success. Since 2005's "Brave Daddy", his career has fallen into a period of complete stagnation. "Fast and the Furious 4" It’s a lifeline for Universal Pictures, so why not for him? Without this series, Fan's front-line status in Hollywood will fall apart, and he will not even compare to rising stars such as Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson..
This is a matter of survival. So, he will never compromise！
“I quit! "Fan slammed his hands on the table. He was like a tiger descending a mountain, supporting the table. He leaned forward, eyes wide open, and the mountain was pressing down on him. He stared at Neil and Michael, his arms with protruding veins and bloodshot eyes. In his eyes, a powerful and terrifying aura rushed towards his face..
There is no doubt that Fan has an absolute advantage in terms of force. Neil and Michael combined may not be able to resist for three minutes, and the tense atmosphere is about to break out..
At this moment, the office door was violently knocked open, and Michael's assistant didn't even have time to appear. He could only hear shouting from behind, "Paul, Paul..." The hoarse shouting still failed to stop Paul - Walker's collision, the door that was knocked open swayed and howled, and was almost torn to pieces..
Paul rushed in and looked at the three people in the office. He was about to speak when he saw the crumbling door from the corner of his eyes. He quickly held the door and his expression became embarrassed. He was still not used to using it like this. He broke in with force and looked at Michael, showing an apologetic look..
Just like this interruption, Paul's momentum suddenly stagnated and became calmer; even the atmosphere in the conference room became slightly stiff, and Fan's anger was stuck in his chest. It was impossible to vent it out, nor to swallow it. , can’t get up or get off the ground, it’s particularly uncomfortable.
Paul came back to his senses, turned his head and looked at Fan, and then his anger burned again. He was originally waiting outside the office because he knew that he was not a producer and was not qualified to participate in the meeting, but Fan's roar broke through After it came out through the wall, Paul's anger was completely ignited. The more he listened, the more ridiculous it became, the more atmosphere he heard, and the more surging it became! In the end, I couldn't hold it back anymore and rushed in..
“Are you crazy? Fan, tell me, are you crazy? "Paul was not one to quarrel. After holding it in for a long time, he just said this sentence. His whole face turned red and he looked at Fan in disbelief. His sincere eyes were more of shock than accusation. Even though Until now, Paul still couldn't believe that Fan would so directly object to Renly's continued joining, "Neil has already agreed, what are you objecting to?"？”
Paul just stood at the door of the office, with an angry back, but an unbelievable sadness, "Fan, you are not like this. What happened back then has already passed, Renly did not pursue it, why are you still thinking about it? I I don’t understand why you want to provoke Renly again and again. He is an actor, an actor who can make us ashamed! He has put in so much effort just to make our movie better, Why can't you see this? I thought that even if you can't be friends, at least you won't be enemies..”
The disappointment in Paul's eyes stung Fan's nerves, and the anger burst into his throat, "He is my enemy. Don't be so naive! Look at what he is asking for now, a salary of 8 million, and 3% of the box office. dividend……”
“That's what he deserves! "Paul interrupted Fan's words rudely and shouted back without any sign of weakness, "Jesus-damn-Christ, this is not your money, this is not yours, those budgets, those box office, are not yours. Before it goes into your pocket, you have no right to object to others getting the income from their own labor! Universal Pictures has no objections, and the box office market has no objections, so why do you have any objections?！”
“I am the biggest contributor to the entire series! Fan gritted his teeth and said, his chest rising and falling like a bellows, "This is my series, this is my movie, this is my success!" who is he? He's just a gay guy who devotes himself to flowers! If he hadn't betrayed /***, he wouldn't even be qualified to face me.！”
“What about me? Am I not qualified? "Paul was extremely angry. He had never been so angry before, "What about me? Where's Jordana? What about Tyrese? Where's Gail? I thought, this is our work! This is our series! I thought we were a big family! "Paul looked at Fan in disbelief, his hands clenched into fists, and his body began to tremble slightly because of too much exertion..
“Not everything is about you, Paul! "Fan raised his voice, trying to suppress Paul..
But Paul didn't buy it at all. Instead of retreating, he advanced and said word by word, "So, everything is about you?" The sharp counterattack was so strong that Fan was actually stunned, "I Never know, this is only your work, not mine!！”
From the first part of "Fast and Furious", Paul, Fan and Jordana have been the core characters. They have come step by step to where they are today. Paul always believes that they are a family, even during the filming of the fifth part. They had their differences, but deep down, Paul still regarded Fan as a family member, not just a friend, but a family member.
Now it seems that it is just his wishful thinking..
Fan was stunned for a moment, then punched the desk again in annoyance, "Get out of here, Paul. You know I didn't mean that.".”
“So what do you mean? "Paul asked aggressively. This was not him. This was not his usual behavior. But at this moment, he couldn't help but take a step forward and pressed further. The hot and turbulent gaze made Fan avoid it. After losing his sight, Paul shouted loudly, "Fan, what the hell do you mean? If I understand it wrong, tell me what the hell do you mean? Why do you continue to object when Nier has already given his nod to Renly's joining? Why did you just say that if Renly joins, you will quit?？”
This kind of Paul is a bit scary.
Paul, who had never been angry, never fought for, and never confronted, was really feeling angry at this moment, and even Michael couldn't help but avoid looking at him..
“You are so naive! "Fan muttered in a low voice. He didn't want to break up with Paul because he knew how influential Paul was on the crew, but now Paul didn't leave him any other choice. He raised his head again, and Fan looked at him intently. Paul, “What he demands is not just salary and dividends, but also the rights of the crew! Producer power! Did you know? The next step is for him to become a producer! He's going to squeeze the drama out of us! He was even about to kick me out of the series and make it his series! Do you understand? What I am maintaining is our work, our hard work！”
“Shut up! Paul said viciously, but Van kept chattering, "You are my friend, but he is not!" I can guarantee that you can increase your salary, and you can even get box office dividends, 15 million, how about it? That’s a good number, right? I believe that not only me, but Neil and Michael must also nod in agreement. Paul, old man, don’t destroy our friendship for an unknown person, let us join forces to create an even better sequel. If you are not satisfied, about the salary We can discuss the numbers slowly. We are friends, we are！”
“Shut up! "Paul couldn't stand it any longer and roared loudly. The sound was so loud that it spread throughout the entire floor. All the people who were busy couldn't help but stop what they were doing and cast their gaze..
But Paul didn't seem to notice such an abnormality, and turned a deaf ear to it, looking at Fan in disbelief, as if today was the first day he got to know the person in front of him..
He once thought that they were friends, they were partners, and they were family; but now, the friendship and affection he cherished were only worth fifteen million dollars. What he pursued was never salary and dividends, Renly understood , but Fan didn't understand. How ridiculous, how absurd. The sincere face in front of Fan seemed to be laughing at his past stupidity and naivety..
Anger was rolling in his chest, but it gradually cooled down and turned into a cold. His vision became clearer. Things that were once unclear can now be seen clearly. This is what Vanity Fair looks like..
