662 Eerily calm
Piracy detected! It was just a normal piece of news at first, but because of the noise of "Fast and Furious" and Vin Diesel's words, things suddenly became interesting. The reporters were like hyenas, smelling the air. There was an abnormal aura, and then they opened their fangs and swarmed forward, never giving up until they tore off a piece of flesh and blood..
Immediately, reporters surrounded Renly who had just landed at New York's LaGuardia Airport. They did not rush to mention Fan's speech, but directly asked about the specific situation of "Killing Reincarnation".
Renly told the truth. He first confirmed Warner Bros.'s announcement that he would star in "The Killing Cycle"; then he briefly talked about the story and script, and generously expressed his expectations..
If Jeff had been there, he would have laughed out loud, because Renly's answer was clearly the "press conference version" of the original audition - full of talk, but no substance..
Then the reporter couldn't wait to ask, "You decided to star in 'The Killing', what about 'The Fast and the Furious'? What about the next schedule? Do you have any ideas?" Without too many leading questions, It seemed like a normal question, but all the reporters at the scene held their breath. No matter what Renly's answer was, they were ready.——
Questioning the renewal of the "Fast and Furious" contract, questioning the implicit content of Fan's previous words, and questioning the news content in the recent period.
“For me, the most important job now is the 'Killing Reincarnation'." Renly's answer was crisp and clear, without any hesitation. The firmness and decisiveness in his words made the reporters ready to make a move, and the abnormal atmosphere became more and more... Obviously, but they didn't have time to ask questions, and they didn't need to ask questions. Renly's next words shocked everyone..
“As for 'Fast and Furious', unfortunately, I can no longer participate in the subsequent production and performance. I have always looked forward to being a part of the sequel, but life is like this, and farewell will come sooner or later. It's just that this time it comes faster. Here, I wish my partners all the best.”
There was silence, and everyone was stunned. Objectively speaking, this was one of their guesses, or in other words, it was one of the explosive points they were expecting, but at this moment, Renly admitted the fact so lightly, As if this was just a normal thing, without warning, absolutely without warning, they received a hundred thousand critical hits, their brains immediately shut down, there was no room for buffering, and they collectively froze in place..
Such a scene is really very joyful. There are about fifty reporters, there is no sound at all, their eyes are dull and confused, just like the absurd mime in a silent movie. The thick black humor comes to the face..
A faint smile emerged from the depths of his eyes. Renly deeply believed that teasing reporters was an entertainment activity worth promoting, and it was much more interesting than the cheers of movie fans. "Then..." Renly's eyes scanned. After waiting for a while and making sure that there were no questions, he pointed straight ahead and signaled that he was ready to leave..
“What happened on the set? "Someone in the crowd finally came to his senses and shouted loudly. His voice was trembling slightly, but he couldn't tell whether it was because of excitement or panic..
“Nothing happened, everything is fine with the crew." After Renly spoke, his voice couldn't help but have a hint of lightness, and he couldn't help laughing. In this state, looking at the reporter's eyes, he became more and more panicked - what on earth is going on?？
“But why won't you continue to act? "The reporters naturally didn't want to be fooled like this and asked.
Renly didn't panic and shrugged, "In each of the previous five works, some actors were absent. This is the same reason. There is no special reason. It's just how things developed." In the "Fast and Furious" series, no one is indispensable unless he is one of the producers.
“Isn't it related to Vin Diesel? "Renly's frankness disrupted the reporters' overall plan. Some people just threw out the drama without hesitation. "Yesterday, Fan hinted in an interview that you chose this... uh, work and gave up. 'Fast and Furious', is that so? What's the relationship like between you and Van? Do you have any problems between you?？”
Aggressive, asking question after question, trying to corner Renly.
It's a pity that instead of panicking, Renly couldn't help but smile, "Yes, we do have problems between us." This answer made the reporters excitedly raise the recording machine in their hands, "Fan doesn't like surfing. , and he is not a Dahai type of person, which leaves us with a lack of common topics. He is really a difficult person to chat with..”
This is not the first time Renly has said this. The media asked about the relationship between Renly and Paul before, but Fan was not involved. Renly answered in this way. Today, on such an occasion, it adds There are some thought-provoking meanings. Especially when comparing yesterday's Fan and today's Renly, there are huge differences in the attitudes, tone and expressions of the two people, which is really thought-provoking..
“But before in Toronto, you and Paul both said that you are very much looking forward to the sequel." Some reporters are still immersed in their own thoughts, strongly denying reality, unwilling to believe that Renly has completely separated from "Fast and Furious" "There is no chance of a sequel. Or to be more precise, I don't want to believe that my judgment was wrong..
“All I can say is that this is a good wish." Renly shrugged and said with a chuckle, "In fact, I mentioned it to Paul a few days ago about missing the sequel performance. We are both very sorry. I look forward to it. I hope to be able to race in the sequel; and Paul is looking forward to fighting with me. Now it seems that this idea can only be left to the future..”
Renly added calmly, "It's a pity that Van doesn't surf, otherwise we could have discussed it together on the beach, or just chatted while waiting for the waves..”
The relaxed and joyful tone of his speech conveys a message every moment: This is just a normal and innocent Hollywood incident. Regrets are definitely there; disappointments, but not necessarily. Vin Diesel Paul was absent from the second part of the series, Paul Walker was absent from the third part of the series, and now Renly Hall is absent from the sixth part of the series, which doesn't seem to be a big deal..
All the shocks just come from people's determination: they are sure that Universal Pictures will not let go of the rising Renly, they are sure that Renly will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they are sure that the audience's expectations for Hobbes will be responded to. However, This is Hollywood. No one is irreplaceable in Hollywood. If you miss a project, there will be another opportunity..
So, it's that simple？
“So, if the schedule is staggered in the future, or in a more distant future, will you still have the opportunity to star in the series? "You can feel from the question how shocking this news is, and the aftermath has never dissipated. The reporter still holds on to the "Fast and Furious" series tightly and is unwilling to let go..
Renly said with a smile, "We will have to wait until the filming of 'The Killings' is over to find out." He cleverly avoided the core of the question, but also answered the question sideways, but in the current context, The reporters had to think more: Are all the rumors true between Fan and Renly?？
The reporters looked at Renly who was at ease in front of them. They obviously still had countless questions they wanted to ask, but at this time they were all stuck. They all looked at Renly blankly, but one person stammered and asked, "In this regard, What does Paul think?？”
“He wishes me good luck. I wish him good luck, too." Renly replied with a smile, and then took a step forward. Surrounded by assistants and managers, he left the airport, leaving the reporters looking at each other..
“Good luck"? Van just used this expression yesterday, and today Renly uses the same expression again? Is this a coincidence, or is it intentional? Is it really that simple? Is there really nothing fishy about the inside story? Van and Renly really don't Gratitude? Is everything really so simple?？
If you say this, it is estimated that most reporters at the scene will not believe it. They are not innocent children. The uproar of news in the past period has always hinted at the turbulent undercurrent under the calm surface, but now it appears in such a strange way. It ended in such a way that no one can easily believe it..
But what happened? The reporters had no way of knowing, at least not from Renly..
After watching Renly leave, the reporters gradually came to their senses, and their chaotic thoughts gradually became clear: Renly has withdrawn from the sequel production of "Fast and Furious"! The biggest contributor to the box office success of this year's fifth installment of the series will not continue to star! Luke Hobbs' highly anticipated character is leaving the big screen！
What's more, this news doesn't come from Universal, but from Renly！
If it were placed at other times, this would not be a big deal. It might just be that Universal Pictures did not have time to officially release the news, or it might just be that as Renly said, "both parties reached a friendly consensus"; but just a few days ago, Universal Pictures There is also positive news internally. The contract renewal negotiations have made breakthrough progress. Universal Pictures is willing to invite Renly to star in a spin-off and two sequels for a salary of 8 million US dollars. Now what will happen? what's going on？
Could it be that Renly rejected Universal Pictures? Could it be that Renly is still not satisfied with the eight million salary? Could it be that the previous news was just a smoke bomb by Universal Pictures?？
In a duel between production companies and actors, the company always has the upper hand, not to mention that Universal Pictures is one of the six major film companies in Hollywood; but this time, it seems that the actors have the upper hand.！
As a result, reporters started a commotion and scattered to every corner of Hollywood, trying to dig out the truth of the matter.：
“What happened to the crew of "Fast and Furious 5"? What happened during the negotiations for sequels and spin-offs? How did things develop here step by step? What role did Warner Bros. play in the whole process? What's the use? The exciting inside story? What kind of work is "The Killing Cycle"? Why did Renly choose this work? How will things develop next?？
In an instant, Universal Pictures became the center of attention..
