The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 641: Turn against each other

In the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" crew, many people don't understand why Fan is targeting Lan Li so much. It's just a personal grievance. Of course, this is the starting point, which is not uncommon in Hollywood, but the real reason is the strong sense of crisis in interests and status.

In Telluride, Fan and Lanly faced each other for the first time, and he deeply felt that in front of Lanly, it was difficult for him to gain the upper hand, and he even fell under the wind many times. That kind of powerful aura. The threat is even stronger than Dawn. This led to the tit-for-tat confrontation between Fan and Lan Li, which can be explained as a disagreement in aura, but it can also be explained as a beast-like dangerous intuition.

Afterwards, a series of small actions in the crew were not so much revenge as temptation and suppression. Fan has been trying to suppress Lan Li. But unfortunately, he didn't succeed, which made Fan definitely feel the threat. He realized that Lan Li had already gained a firm foothold in the crew, and the upward momentum was almost unstoppable, so what's next?

Next will be Fan's loss of power, slowly passing from interest to power in all directions.

Two sequels and a side story? Universal Pictures is simply mad! Six million plus box office dividends? Even if he was in the fourth part of the series, he was treated like this! So what's next? In the next step, Lan Li will further take over the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" series. If even Paul is on Lan Li’s side, then Fan’s status will be in jeopardy, not only in this series, but also in the entire actor career. Development context.

The importance of the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love" series to Fan is even more important than "Mission Impossible" to Tom Cruise, "Pirates of the Caribbean" to Johnny Depp, and "Iron Man" to Xiao Robert Downey.

Outside of "speed and excitement/emotion", Fan has almost no box office results. Since 2005, his career has fallen into a period of total stagnation, "speed and excitement/emotion 4" It is a life-saving straw for Universal Pictures, but is it not for him? Without this series, Fan's first-line position in Hollywood will fall apart, and he can't even compare to rising stars such as Jason Statham and Dawn Johnson.

This is a question of survival. Therefore, he will never compromise!

"I quit!" Fan slammed his hands on the table, like a tiger descending the mountain, supporting the table, his body leaned forward, glared and Tarzan pressed on the top, staring at Neil and Michael with violent arms. With bloodshot eyes, a powerful and terrifying breath rushed toward his face.

There is no doubt that Fan has an absolute advantage in terms of force. Together, Neil and Michael may not be able to withstand three minutes, and the atmosphere of tension is on the verge of breaking out.

At this moment, the office door was smashed open, and Michael's assistant did not even have time to show up. He could only hear the shouts from behind, "Paul, Paul..." The hoarse shouts still failed to stop Paul- Walker's collision, the door that was knocked open swayed and wailed, almost to pieces.

Paul rushed in and looked at the three people in the office as they were about to speak, but he saw the crumbling door out of his line of sight. He quickly moved his hand to hold on to the door, and his expression became embarrassed. He was still not accustomed to using force like this, his eyes looked at Michael, showing an apologetic look.

Just like this interruption, Paul's momentum suddenly stagnated and became lessened; even the atmosphere in the meeting room became slightly stiff, Fan's anger was stuck in his chest, and it was not cathartic, nor was it to swallow. , It is especially uncomfortable to not go up and down.

Paul recovered and turned his head to look 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 roared through. After it spread through the wall, Paul's anger was completely ignited. The more he listened, the more absurd, the more he listened, the more atmosphere, and the more he listened, the more surging! In the end, after all, he couldn't hold back and rushed in.

"Are you crazy? Fan, tell me, are you crazy?" Paul is not a quarrelling person. After holding back for a long time, he just said this sentence, his entire face flushed and he looked incredible. As for Fan, the sincere look in his eyes is not so much accusation as shock. Even now, Paul still can’t believe that Fan will be so bluntly opposed to Ranley’s continuing to join, "Neil has agreed, what are you doing? What are you opposing?"

Paul stood at the door of the office like this, under his furious back, but he was unbelievably sad, "Fan, you are not like this. The original thing is over, and Lan Li has not pursued it. Why do you still miss it? I. I don’t understand why you have to provoke Lan Li over and over again. He is an actor, an actor who is enough to make us ashamed! He has put in so much effort just to make our movie better. Why can't you see these? I thought that even if you can't be friends, at least you won't be enemies."

The disappointment in Paul's eyes pierced Fan's nerves, and his anger broke through his throat, "He is my enemy. Don't be so naive! Look at his current request, 8 million pieces, and 3% of the box office. Dividends..."

"That's what he deserves!" Paul interrupted Fan's words rudely, and yelled back without showing weakness, "Jesus-damn-Christ, this is not your money, this is not yours, those budgets, Those box offices are not yours. Before you enter your pocket, you are not eligible to oppose others from obtaining your own labor income! Universal Pictures has no objections, and the box office market has no objections, so why are you!"

"I am the greatest hero of the entire series!" Fan gritted his teeth, his chest undulating fiercely like a bellows, "This is my series, this is my movie, this is my success! Who is he? But it is. A dedication/chrysanthemum/flower's death/ge/boy! If it were not for betrayal/***, he would not even have the qualifications to face me face to face!

"What about me? Am I not qualified?" Paul was angry from the ground, he has never been so angry, "What about me? Where is Jordan? Where is Tyrese? Where is Gail? I thought, this is us. This is our series! I think we are a big family!" Paul looked at Fan incredible, his hands clenched into fists, his body began to tremble slightly because of too much force.

"Paul, not everything is about you!" Fan raised his voice and tried to suppress Paul.

But Paul didn't buy it at all, and instead of retreating, he said word by word, "So, everything is about you?" The sharp counterattack was so strong that Fan was stunned. "I I never knew, this is just your work! Not mine! Not anyone else’s!"

From the first part of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion", Paul, Fan, and Jordana are the core figures, and they have come to today step by step. Paul always believed that they were a family. Even though they had disagreements during the shooting of the fifth film, deep down, Paul still regarded Fan as a family member, not just a friend, but a family member.

It now seems that it is just his wishful thinking.

Fan was stunned, then irritably slammed his desk again, "Get out of the way, Paul. You know I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?" Paul asked aggressively, this is not him, he is not his usual behavior, but at this moment, he can't help but take a step forward and ask further. The scorching gaze caused Fan to avoid his sight, and Paul shouted, "Fan, what the **** do you mean? If I understand wrongly, then you come and tell me, what the **** is it? What do you mean? Why did Neil have nodded his head and agreed to Renly's joining, but you continue to oppose it? Why did you just say that when Renly joins, you just withdrew?"

Paul like this is a bit scary.

Paul, who has never been angry, has never fought, and has never confronted, but at this moment really feels the anger, even Michael can't help but avoid his sight.

"You're so naive!" Fan muttered in a low voice. He didn't want to tear his face apart with Paul, because he knew how much influence Paul had on the crew, but now Paul left him no other choice. Looking up again, Fan looked at Paul steadfastly, "What he asked for was not only the salary and dividends~lightnovelpub.net~, but also the power of the crew! The power of the producer! Do you know? Next, he will I’m going to be a producer! He’s going to squeeze our scenes! He will even kick me out of the series and make this his series! Do you understand? What I am maintaining is our work, our hard work! "

"Shut up!" Paul said fiercely, but Fan was still chattering, "You are my friend, but he is not! I can guarantee that you can increase your salary, and you can even get a box office dividend of 15 million. How about? This number is good? I believe that not only me, but Neil and Michael must also nod their heads in agreement. Paul, old man, don't ruin our friendship for an anonymous person, let us join forces to create a better sequel. If you are not satisfied, we can discuss the salary figures slowly. We are friends, we are!"

"Shut up!" Paul couldn't bear it anymore, and roared loudly. The voice was so loud that it spread throughout the floor. All the busy people couldn't help but stop their work and vote. Sight.

But Paul didn't seem to notice such an abnormality, he turned a deaf ear, and looked at Fan incredulously, as if it was the first day to know the person in front of him.

He once thought that they were friends, they were partners, and they were family members; but now, the friendship and emotions he cherishes are only worth 15 million U.S. dollars. What he pursued has never been remuneration and dividends. Lan Li understands, but Fan does not. How ridiculous, how ridiculous, the sincere Fan in front of him seemed to mock his past stupidity and innocence.

The anger rolled in his chest, but it gradually cooled down and turned into icy cold. The line of sight became clear, and things that were once unclear, now I finally see clearly, this is what Vanity Fair looks like.
