Chapter five hundred and fifty second man's way

"Vin Diesel's role?"

This also reminded everyone here, including Matthew and David Ellison, to be in thought.

After a few seconds, Matthew took the lead and said, "The first part of "Fast and Furious" is the most successful one with the reputation and box office. I have been on the crew of "Fast and Furious". One thing is very clear. Originally, the absolute male lead of this movie was police officer Brian played by Paul Walker, and Vin Diesel's role was the second male lead. But Vin Diesel pulled most of the investment in this film, and then changed the script and character settings, which led to the situation of a two-man lead."

He said without hesitation, "Vin Diesel is the core of this film. Since we are ready to return Paul Walker and Jordanna Brewster, the character Dominic Toreto must be explained."

In any case, the "Fast and Furious" series has a certain audience base. The rental of videotapes and discs in the past two years has further expanded the scope of the video. If you throw it away, it would be a waste.

"Let Vin Diesel's character die." David Ellison was obviously not angry. "I just came up with an idea. Because Vin Diesel's character was killed, Brian and Mia came out again to take revenge for Dominic Toreto."

Matthew thought about it, "It seems pretty good."

The bald ceo wrote it in the notebook again and said, "This can be included in the scope of the script."

"The script creation must be a unified plan for the trilogy." Matthew reminded again.

Since he has obtained the copyright of this series, he must of course maximize his interests. He will be prepared for the failure of the project and also be prepared for success.

A few years ago, most Hollywood movies sequels were like the first and second parts of Fast and Furious, with basically no clear plan. It was always after the first part was successful that the sequel was put on the agenda.

Most sequels are only planned on paper before they start. If a certain film is lost, then there will be no more. Film companies are always careful and can only estimate how much box office the next sequel may be, so as to decide how much production cost it is to invest.

At the same time, the producer will never deliberately innovate the content of the sequel. The best strategy is nothing more than copying the success of the previous film intact, using larger investment and publicity scale to further expand the influence of the series and gain more audience attention.

All of these real purposes are only one: to allow more audiences to contribute to the box office and stuff more money into their pockets.

The "Fast and Furious" series can be said to be a typical example. Two male actors who are not worth more than the actors in the third tier and second tier are more expensive than the actors. However, they became so popular that they both gained box office and reputation, so that Universal Pictures did not understand what was going on, so they hurriedly invested in sequel development and simply doubled their investment in "Fast and Furious 2". However, the box office in North America was lowered, and fortunately they still made money, so they increased their investment cautiously and quickly continued to shoot the third part, and in the end, the box office and reputation were both defeated.

An unexpectedly successful brand was accidentally smashed again. Now Matthew and David Ellison are trying to bring it back to life.

"You have confidence?"

Returning to the car of Angel Brokerage, Helen Herman asked Matthew, "Are you investing tens of millions of dollars, are you sure you can make a profit?"

Matthew shrugged, "Who can be 100% sure of this kind of thing?" he said slowly, "I can afford it."

Hearing this, Helen Hermann thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "You can really afford it." She sighed, "I really don't know what to say, you are so lucky."

She heard Amanda say that Matthew has been consuming Apple stocks in the market in recent years. Now Apple's stock has risen sharply, and the first generation of smartphones developed by Apple will be on sale soon. Everyone inside and outside the industry is optimistic about Apple and Steve Jobs. Apple's market value is very likely to rise like a rocket.

The Apple stocks this guy bought not only can maintain value, but it will probably double their net worth at least, right?

Helen Herman asked curiously, "You spent so much money on Apple stocks? Just bet it will definitely rise?"

"I'm not betting on apples." Matthew was full of bullshit, "I'm betting on Steve Jobs. I betting on Steve Jobs will make the apple shine again, just like in the 1980s."

Where can I win if I buy stocks 100%, even Buffett, the stock god, will fail.

He added, "My luck is very good... Well, this good luck will continue to the Fast and Furious series."

"I hope." Helen Hermann said this and was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Actually, there is a question, I've always been very curious."

Matthew turned his head and looked at her, "Ask, we are old friends, there is nothing we can't say."

Helen Hermann was not polite and asked directly, "Did you want to take the copyright of the "Fast and Furious" series because of Vin Diesel?"

"Why do you think so?" Matthew was definitely not nothing to say.

"If you have ideas about racing and action-type movies, with David Ellison's support for you, you can work together to create a brand new series. Why do you have to keep the "Fast and Furious" series?" Helen Hermann's sense of touch was very keen. "I heard that you and Vin Diesel had another conflict at the Victoria's Secret show last month."

There was something else that didn't say, but she might not know, but she knew very well that Matthew was a person who would have to take revenge.

Of course Matthew would not admit, "You're thinking too much, Helen Vin Diesel wants to return to this series after the New Year. Am I predicting the uncertainty? Of course, after he wants to return, I'm really determined to win this series."

Of course this is nonsense. Cutting Van Diesel's future is of course one of the main reasons, but his subsequent words are real ideas.

"Helen, although "Tokyo Drift" lost both reputation and box office, the trilogy still accumulated a certain audience base after filming. Among the special audience, the name is also quite good. We won the copyright and then filmed the fourth part, and the risk will be much smaller."

He said seriously, "What if we start a new movie? The risks are multiplied, and you don't know that non-adapted non-sequel original commercial films have been in poor condition in recent years, and very few can really sell well."

Hearing this, Helen Hermann nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense. There are too few successful cases of original large-scale commercial films in recent years. Even if there are successful people, they are basically works by first-line directors. It is impossible for this series to invite top directors."

Speaking of this, she looked at Matthew, "You are becoming more mature and considering problems more comprehensively than before."

Matthew smiled, "People always grow."

Helen Hermann then said, "It doesn't make any sense for you to retaliate against Van Diesel in this way. He doesn't have the Fast and Furious series and can always find other opportunities."

"You said it's possible." Matthew agreed with Helen Herman's words. "Without Fast and Furious, he may have other action movies. But if the opportunity is here, I can't do nothing. This is just the beginning. He also provoked David. I discussed with David that I must dig a hole and bury Vin Diesel."

What Matthew didn't expect was that when he returned to the Angel Agency, he saw the opportunity.

When he came to Helen Herman's office, Helen Herman turned on the computer and according to the assistant, he went to Yahoo Entertainment and tmz to look at it. Vin Diesel's words attacking Matthew and the pictures quoted were all forwarded by the two websites intact.

In addition to the Internet, the tabloids brought by the assistant are also full of related gossip reports, such as "Van Diesel's angrily criticizing Matthew Horner for not being a man" and other reports are emerging one after another.

Then, Matthew and his assistant asked for a laptop, log in to the Facebook account that he applied for in November last year, and then found Vin Diesel. There was no problem with forwarding from Yahoo Entertainment and TMZ. Vin Diesel was just calling him a man.

"Elaine has been on a business trip in Europe recently." Matthew shook his head while looking, "Or we'll get news this morning."

Helen Herman sneered, "Vin Diesel is just hype. I've checked before that in addition to operating the "Fast and Furious" series and starring in "A New Age of Life and Death", he is also competing for the leading role of a film called "The Deadly Driver". Such controversial remarks are very useful to him."

Matthew nodded, but didn't say anything, his head kept thinking because he found that this was a good opportunity to dig a hole.

"Helen, do you think we can handle this?" Matthew leaned closer and murmured to Helen Herman. Helen Herman nodded while listening. After a while, he said, "Originally, Universal Pictures will release relevant announcements with Sky Dance Pictures in the past two days. David came forward and asked them to add a few more words. Vin Diesel has no value to Universal Pictures. You have had pleasant cooperation with Universal Pictures before, and may cooperate in the future. I guess there is no big problem."

She smiled rarely, "Actors of tough guy types should have tough guy types, and this makes sense. By the way, wait for Elaine to come back on the weekend."

As soon as he finished speaking, David Ellison called and talked about this. Matthew told him what he was thinking just now. David Ellison immediately said that he was calling Universal Pictures in person, and that it was now the honeymoon period on both sides.

In the following day, Universal Pictures and Sky Dance Pictures issued statements respectively, revealing the details of the transaction and the transaction through their respective channels, and highlighting that Vin Diesel was secretly making trouble after seeing Matthew and David Ellison intend to buy the copyright. Universal Pictures never thought of working with Vin Diesel again.

These are enough to make the Facebook posts of Vin Diesel turn into nonsense.
