The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 2349: Take the initiative

In April 2015, a full month before this year’s summer vacation, Universal Pictures’ “Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 7”, which was built at a cost of US$190 million, was officially released, sticking to the “spring file strategy” of the series. , To avoid the crowds of summer as much as possible, seize the time of late spring and early summer to warm up for the upcoming midsummer frenzy. This strategy has achieved excellent results in the past few years, and they chose to continue to stick to it.

This series of movies is undoubtedly a different kind of Hollywood. It has experienced the double fiasco of the third word-of-mouth and box office, and almost suffered a cut, but then regained its status in the fourth stage and regained its status in the fifth. At its peak, even though the sixth part fell slightly, it still became one of the most vigorous series of works in North America.

The fifth work invited the up-and-coming Renly to star in fbi agent Luke Hobbs. This is considered to be the magical touch of the series, and it is still one of the most attractive characters on the big screen, but Universal Pictures regrets Land failed to keep Lan Li on the list of actors.

Until now, Universal Pictures’ decision to miss Renli’s decision still left countless fans on their minds. They couldn’t help but assume: What if Renli is still there?

But this is Hollywood, the series of movies are eternal, and the main actors come and go, come and go, and only the film itself can survive for a long time. For the "Spider-Man" series, Sony Columbia Pictures has officially announced that it will give up Andrew Garfield and officially start the casting of the new Spider-Man, and this one will also become the third Spider-Man.

"Doctor Who", "007", "Holmes" and so on are all like this.

What's even more regrettable is that Paul Walker, who grew up with the series of films, has also formally confirmed the decision to turn around and leave the role of Brian O'Connor after the seventh film is over. This also means that the series will One of the two cores is about to be officially absent.

No one can blame Paul.

At the beginning of last year, he experienced a near-death car accident. It is a rare miracle that Paul can stand in front of fans. After that, Paul decided to bid farewell to Brian O’Connor for his family and himself. After that, Paul decided to bid farewell to Brian O’Connor. Apart from sending blessings full of tears, the only thing I can do is to go into the cinema to support the work "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 7" and bid farewell to my youthful memories.

It is precisely because of this that the release of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 7" has a special meaning out of the ordinary.

Universal Pictures has shown its absolute importance. From the initial promotion to the premiere ceremonies around the world, it has given the highest level of grand treatment in all aspects, like a carnival party, sending off Paul in the most grand and lively way, looking forward to the fans Be able to report enthusiasm.

However, for Van Diesel, this is not an easy task.

Paul is only part of the reason. Talents such as Dawn Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson are the real main reasons.

The filming schedule of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 8" has been set early, and all the actors have successfully completed the signing, which also means that no matter what happens, the eighth film is imperative; however, Diesel and others The rumors of the actors' incompatibility have spread uncontrollably.

Four actors represented by Dawn Johnson entered the ranks of producers, divided up Diesel’s power, weakened Diesel’s control over the crew, and triggered a small-scale power struggle within Universal Pictures. Rumors broke out that Paul was actually driven away by Diesel.

Although the rumors have been clarified and Paul also issued an official statement, the rumors on social networks have never been able to dissipate. The negative remarks directed at Diesel have followed. This will not only affect Diesel’s image, but also It further affected Diesel's market appeal, and the final result was that Diesel and Dawn and others fell in the middle of the power struggle and lost their territory step by step.

Not good, very bad.

Instead, it was Renly, and now it is no longer bothering Diesel. That guy's position has climbed too high and too far, out of reach, let alone Diesel, even Steven Spielberg and Tom -A top-notch boss in the industry like Hanks has no choice but to bow down.

Diesel still didn't like Lanli, and even hated Lanli. Those "hereditary aristocrats" were like sand in his eyes, which made Diesel intolerable.

But in the whole Hollywood, there are more than one or two disgusting guys? Diesel can now calmly accept Lan Li's arrogance and annoyance, pretend that the guy does not exist, completely shake off the influence, and then concentrate on dealing with the wolves and tigers around him.

Regret it?

Of course Diesel had thought about this question, and he had regretted and hesitated and repeated it, but after serious consideration, he came to an exact and affirmative conclusion:

If he did it again, he would still make the same choice.

Renly’s achievements just proved Diesel’s original concerns:

He did surpass Diesel, he did brilliantly, and he did break the deadlock between Dawn and Jason. Without the help of Renly, how could they have become producers in such a short time? What? Michel and Tyrese, if there is no instigation by Ren Li, how can they stand on the opposite side of Diesel?

There is also Paul, Paul, who has never bred two-mindedness nor ambitious, how could he be separated from Diesel without the instigation of Renly?

Diesel was right from the beginning. He anticipated that the Blue Ly would be a trouble. His only regret was that he had not been able to start to be more ruthless, and he had not been able to push the guy severely before Renly took off. Death, in the final analysis, he was too soft-hearted.

As for now, whether it is regret or regret, it's done, so just accept it calmly. He is an upright character, and he will never indulge in the past hummingly there. Since the world has turned upside down, then he will move on. His opponent has become the group of Dawn and Michel, so let them come. Let's take a look at what will happen in "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 8", and who can have the last laugh.

However, before entering "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 8", Diesel still has a problem to face: the London premiere of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 7".

The "problem" is not the blue gift, but the knock-on effect brought about by "the blue gift's presence."

To be sure, Dawn and Jason are bound to surround Lanly, not to mention Lanly. This also means that Diesel may be isolated.

In a highly anticipated occasion like the premiere, every move, every word and deed may become the focus of analysis by netizens. How should Diesel turn the tide quietly? More importantly, even if Diesel is willing to approach Renli and extend an olive branch, what if Renli refuses?

It's a headache.

According to Diesel’s usual habits, he tends to be more inclined to make final appearances, so that all the spotlights and the attention of the audience are focused on himself, enjoying the pleasure/sense of dominating the world; and, "speed and excitement The premiere of "Love" is the only stage where Diesel can show himself. In other award ceremonies or movies, he can't get such treatment. Who blames him for enjoying his good time?

But today, after careful deliberation, Diesel unexpectedly chose to be the first to arrive at the premiere in Trafalgar Square, preemptively.

Fans attending the London premiere crowded the entire square, as if the winding Thames meet here, vast and turbulent; the bright and coquettish red carpet started from the next street outside the square, extended all the way, and then went around. The periphery of the square turned in a circle, like a question mark, the barb entered 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 detonated cheers like a tsunami from the audience, and gradually ignited one by one along the red carpet. The noisy and dazzling frenzy was witnessed by the media present " "Speed ​​and excitement/love" is the passion of fans, and Diesel, as the absolute core protagonist of the series, is still hard to shake. Even when Paul Walker is still on the crew, it is difficult to match 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 on the center stage, he started fan service under the guidance of the host on the scene. Both interactions and interviews seem to be easy to do, and the naive smile reveals sincerity and enthusiasm, so that the cheers and shouts of the fans on the scene have never been able to calm down.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

At the beginning of the red carpet, there was a frantic scream of exhaustion~lightnovelpub.net~ I was too excited and vaguely lost control. The popping sound was like a vibration from deep underground, rumbling. The tremor was conveyed to the scalp through the soles of the feet, and it seemed that a storm was 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 our old friend arrived at the scene, what do you think?"

The host was slightly stunned, his thoughts could not keep up with Diesel's rhythm, and he hesitantly asked, "You mean... Lanly-Hall?"

The main thing was accident. He didn't expect Diesel to take the initiative to bring up Lan Li, and he eagerly made a gesture of warm welcome.

Diesel didn’t hesitate, but said with a smile as he planned, “Of course, who else can ignite such enthusiasm besides him? Otherwise, let’s bet and see if Lanly arrives. To the scene."
