The roaring motor sounded across the streets of Rio de Janeiro, and two muscle sports cars rushed past the streets. The speed of the storm was even impossible to see the appearance of the car at all, as if only two silver-gray lightning flashes were slid by.

Even the images captured by high-speed cameras are not particularly clear.

"It's so satisfying!"

Standing under the big sun umbrella in the temporarily rented open-air cafe on the street, Paul Walker couldn't help but envy in his eyes, "This is the speed that men should have to drive!"

Gal Gadot said, "It's over 150 miles per hour, and it's too dangerous for ordinary people to control it."

Matthew nodded in agreement and said in a more stressful tone, "With such a fast speed, if you are a little surprised, the car will definitely be destroyed."

"You two!" Paul Walker looked at Matthew and Gal Gadot and shook his head. "I just sighed, is it necessary to say that it is so serious?"

Terrys Gibson interrupted, "I don't dare to drive so fast anyway."

The two cars drove back again, and now it is much slower than the lightning speed when they went there.

Matthew didn't say much, but instead took a look at the route of the car. In order to film a few street racing scenes, the crew spent a lot of professional drivers and sealed four streets in Rio de Janeiro.

In New York, it is impossible to block four main roads like this, unless it was taken in the early morning, but in Rio de Janeiro, as long as money is in the way, these are easy to deal with.

Even the local government in Rio de Janeiro sent a large number of police to assist the crew in blocking the streets and shooting.

The two cars parked on the side of the road near the open-air cafe. Matthew and Paul Walker walked over and prepared to get in and take a photo.

The two professional drivers just filmed the scenes of him and Paul Walker. The crew will shoot them again, and then through the post-production editing, they will drive and run wildly.

Matthew came to Mercedes-Benz, which was a shooting car specially made by Mercedes-Benz for him, and he was very familiar with it.

Paul Walker was already in the car and excitedly fiddled with the specially made Dodge Challenger.

Justin Lin walked over at this time and reminded Matthew and Paul Walker, "Please follow the scheduled route!" He specifically reminded Paul Walker, "Stay the speed and be consistent with Matthew."

Almost everyone in the crew knew that Paul Walker had a tendency to drive.

"Don't worry!" Paul Walker nodded, "I'll pay attention."

With Justin Lin's order, the shooting began soon.

A Mercedes-Benz amg and a Dodge Challenger started slowly and drove forward at a speed of no more than thirty miles.

The car was slow, but Matthew and Paul Walker frequently controlled the car to allow the photographer on the back seat to take pictures of the required images.

The two cars arrived at the intersection and stopped.

The filming was paused, and Matthew and Paul Walker did not get out of the car, but waited for Justin Lin's order.

"start!"

Justin Lin's voice came from the loudspeaker. Matthew stepped on the accelerator and the Mercedes-Benz Amg rushed out, but the speed was still not more than thirty miles.

A car chased after him, and then the "bang-bang-bang-bang-bang" gunshots rang one after another.

Matthew lowered the window, controlled the car with one hand, raised the short-tube squirt with the other hand, and shot the car on the side.

The gun gun muzzle sprayed out of gunpowder, and the glass of the passenger driver next to him broke and fell all over the ground. The stunt actor in the driver's seat seemed to be shot and fell down, and the "out of control" car rushed to the side of the road.

More cars chased after this, and gunfire sounded again.

Soon, the rear window glass of Matthew's car and the passenger glass of the passenger car were broken.

At this critical moment, a black motorcycle appeared from behind the pursuer like a ghost. The rider's long hair was floating. Although he was wearing large windproof sunglasses, it was still easy to see that this was Gal Gadot.

Gal Gadot caught up with the pursuers, had an extra pistol in his hand, and shot continuously at the front. There was a tire-like airflow in the tire parts of several cars.

Of course, these cars did not happen unexpectedly.

The filming stopped at this time, Matthew, Paul Walker and Gal Gadot evacuated from the set, and the remaining speed, collision, overturn and explosion scenes will naturally be completed by stunt actors.

Matthew and Paul Walker are both in the car and there is basically no need to play. However, Gal Gadot is not wearing a helmet in the scene design, and occasionally some frontal close-ups are taken with a tragic live background.

Gil Gadot's role as Giselle appears without a helmet, which seems a bit unreasonable, but after discussing with Justin Lin, Matthew still adopted this design. After all, there are too many unreasonable action scenes in the film, and this is not bad.

Like the previous one, Giselle is an independent and powerful character. For example, in the design of this scene, the two protagonists Sean and Brian use Giselle as the most important surprise soldiers of the ambush gang, which fully demonstrates the design of Giselle's gun experts.

Matthew knew very well that the "Fast and Furious" series is exactly the opposite of the "Twilight" series. The latter's audience is concentrated on young women, while the former's audience is definitely mainly male. However, the huge difference in investment scale between the two determines that "Twilight" can ignore male audiences, while the "Fast and Furious" series must attract some female audiences.

In addition to the appeal he and Paul Walker naturally have, the role of Giselle is actually designed specifically for female audiences.

Strong and independent do not need men to save him. Instead, he will save a man at critical moments, which is in line with the preferences of today's female audiences.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this era, the princess characters in the movies who are always waiting for the prince to save them are outdated.

Even Disney Animation Studio, where Princess and Princess makers, has begun to have princesses taking the initiative to go out of the birdcage to see the world.

It won't take long for a strong female character to become an important branch on the big screen.

The crew's filming has been on the streets of Rio de Janeiro. Almost every day, vehicles crash and scrap, and occasionally explosions will be heard in several blocks.

Unlike the filming where it was almost undisturbed, traffic in the Rio de Janeiro area was rapidly deteriorating. When the crew filmed later, there were frequent traffic jams in the adjacent streets.

However, few Brazilians came to find trouble for the crew, except for a small gangster.

A little gangster didn't know what was going on, so he sneaked into four streets of filming, and then injured a prop artist in the crew, but was brutally suppressed by the crew's security team.

Since then, no gang members from Rio de Janeiro have come to make trouble.

The security in Rio de Janeiro is very poor. It is well known that it is a city of God and a city of sin. But everyone knows that the top crews from Hollywood are not easy to mess with. Those big gangs are not stupid. There are so many businesses to do, so why provoke these large international groups? Those small gangs can't even deal with the security hired by the crew.

The shooting of street speed scenes and action scenes has been smooth. By mid-March, the crew's shooting in Rio de Janeiro had reached the end.

The filming in Brazil is about to end, and most of the actors left Rio de Janeiro, and the main actors were soon left with Matthew alone.

Finally, on March 20, the crew completed its last scene in Rio de Janeiro and returned to Los Angeles.

But when he returned to Los Angeles, before he could rest, Matthew was involved in the publicity.

Studio 13, Sky Dance Pictures and Disney Pictures jointly convened a press conference, requiring him and Justin Lin to attend in order to cooperate with the early promotion of the film.

The concept of large-scale promotion and promotion has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts in Hollywood.

In September last year, Paramount Pictures bought out the release of "Spiritual: Ghost Records" and created a miracle in which a small-scale horror film won a big box office.

This film, which only has three people, costs $11,000, sold for more than $100 million in North American box office!

Everyone was amazed at it and was discussing the return on investment ratio of $11,000 and $100 million.

Only people in the circle know how much Paramount has invested in this film. After seeing that the film has the potential to sell well, Paramount spent more than $6 million to expand the scale of screenings.

Although it didn't cost much to buy out the copyright, the investment in publicity and promotion is more than US$20 million.

Without large-scale publicity and promotion, this film would not be successful.

At the press conference, facing interviews from many reporters, Matthew did not reserve the film he had invested in.

"We started with the idea of ​​"Fast and Furious 5" as a high point in the series. We hope that the film can be the highest in all aspects of the series, such as the length of the car chase scene, the complexity of the relationship between the characters, and even the production cost."

In front of the camera, Matthew seemed very confident. "I have a lot of confidence in "Fast and Furious 5", because the whole movie is more recognized by the audience than the other one. This is a movie series that has been moving upward. Then when it comes to the fifth part, we need to make a phased summary of the entire series, so many ideas that I wanted to use before but were not put into the movie for various reasons, as long as it is worth operating."

He specifically talked about the shooting in Brazil. "There was a scene that took place on the streets of Rio de Janeiro. The protagonists were chased by dozens of police cars and traveled through the entire city. I had never seen such a scene before. It was so shocking! Such action scenes were never seen by the audience, and most importantly, they were all real shots! So this movie will definitely become the most classic work in the series!"

After this year's Oscars, Studio 13, Sky Dance Pictures and Disney Pictures made efforts at the same time to carry out a certain scale of preliminary promotion for "Fast and Furious 5", making this film popular.
Chapter completed!
