The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 664: 1 faint move

Fan could perceive Neil’s scorching gaze, in a daze, and once again returned to the contempt and contempt when he first joined the ranks of the producers of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 4" a few years ago. , The insignificance and helplessness of being at a loss, Fan knew that Neil had also pushed the mistake to him.

First Michael, then Neil.

The gaze was clearly saying: apologize, he must apologize to Paul, he must restore Paul, otherwise the disaster will be endless. Fan wanted to straighten his waist, and went back angrily, letting Lan Li roll, and let Paul roll too. But, he knew he couldn't. He needs Paul to stay, he needs Paul to keep the whole crew intact, and he needs Paul to persuade the other actors to stay. Sometimes, for certain things, absolute power does not work, such as popular support.

Fan lowered his head, lowered his eyes, avoiding Neal's sight. He lost.

Neil ignored Fan and continued, "Then there are candidates to replace Renly. We must react quickly and not allow the damage to continue to expand." Neil took a deep breath, his smile couldn't help but bitter, "The longer the time," The greater the price we need to pay."

Now, people in the industry are speculating about the relationship between the "speed and excitement/sentiment" crew and Lan Li, especially the relationship between Lan Li and Fan.

The best solution is to complete the contract renewal work with Lanli as soon as possible, and it must be done beautifully. Even if part of the profit is given up, it will not hesitate to stop the loss as soon as possible. In this way, not only will the rumors be clarified, but they can also occupy the moral commanding heights-Lan Li releases those news purely to win higher rewards.

However, Lan Li cut off the back road in a decisive manner, had no intention of continuing the negotiation, and cut off all possibilities.

Now, they can let out the news, Lan Li’s behavior is just to fight for higher pay, but they must find an actor to replace Lan Li as soon as possible before the truth is revealed. The longer the delay, the more disadvantaged they will be, either by signing a contract with a higher price to replace the actors, or betting again like last year's digging in the blue gift. In either case, the risks of "speed and excitement/emotion 6" are all Will rise straight up.

Neil had to admit that Renly's last move to draw a salary from the bottom of the tank was really too harsh and put the entire crew in a jailed situation. However, Neil knows Renly's true intentions-Paul Walker. Neil also agrees that Fan's ambition and arrogance have swelled and are almost out of control. They need someone to contain Fan, and Paul is undoubtedly the best choice.

So, even knowing that Lanly had dug a pit, Neil not only had to jump down himself, but also had to push both Fan and Michael down.

"What does it mean that the longer the time, the greater the cost?" Michael frowned and his face was puzzled.

Neil looked at Michael, who was like a layman, and sighed inwardly.

Jack Wallace was stunned, because Andy Rogers’s wrist was dazzling, hidden behind a lot of news, but he secretly finished an amazing move; moreover, because of Lanly Hall’s decisive action, it was really Give up, without any hesitation, give up cleanly, showing the atmosphere and calmness of a top superstar.

The development of the matter had twists and turns, and he was completely unable to keep up with the progress. Thinking back now, the way he used to fight for Dawn’s 3.5 million pieces of money at the beginning looks like a child’s house, not only immature, but simple, it is really embarrassing to death.

The only consolation is that Andy did not accomplish such a feat alone, behind him is the support of a whole innovative artist agency. No wonder the top big-name brokers regard innovative artist brokerage companies as the ultimate challenge, and the level is indeed different.

However, Jack didn't know why Andy needed Dawn's cooperation in the first place.

So far, all he has done is just reject Michael once. But the problem is that besides Dawn, there are a lot of suitable action actors in Hollywood. If Michael just needs to change the target or threaten Renly, their choices are endless. A Dawn rejected "speed and excitement", it is impossible for all action actors to reject it.

Jack can't see the whole picture, this feeling is a bit frustrated, and a bit excited. Suddenly, the door of the office was pushed open, and the assistant's head came in and said in a low voice, "Neil H-Moritz is on line 4."

Jack froze for half a second, put the newspaper in his hand on the table, "Okay, come in." His eyes fell on the newspaper, and the headline of the entertainment page was astonishing, "Len Li-Hall is sure to star in the'Reincarnation of Killing'. "Challenge the protagonist of a commercial movie for the first time", and then he answered the phone, trying to make his voice sound normal, "Jack Wallace is talking."

Lan Li is about to be absent from the production of the sequel of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion", and the rumor will naturally die. This means that the biggest contributor to the fifth miracle in the series-at least one of them, missed the appearance of the big screen again. Such breaking news, in the relatively deserted autumn file, was completely comparable to nuclear weapons. The turbulent mushroom cloud attracted everyone’s attention. However, before the reaction of the media and the Internet had time to burst, the development of the event had another turning point. .

Universal Pictures officially announced that the sixth and seventh parts of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" have officially completed the contract renewal with Paul Walker, and they have ensured that this will be a blockbuster signing, which truly gives Paul The same status as Fan guarantees that the two biggest heroes of the series will continue to meet with the audience on the big screen.

According to industry rumors, Paul’s terms for signing the two sequels are 15 million U.S. dollars in remuneration, a 7% box office dividend, and he is also among the producers.

This level of signing is at the top level of any crew, and it is equal to Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and others. At the moment, it may be slightly inferior to Johnny Depp and Robert Don Jr. That's it; even in the crew of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion", Paul is already on par with Fan Ping. The only difference is that Fan's box office dividend is 8%, which is one more percentage point.

If the sixth part of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" can still get a box office of 300 million in North America, then Paul's pre-tax remuneration will reach 36 million U.S. dollars.

Undoubtedly, after missing the blue ceremony, the "speed and excitement/love" crew finally showed enough sincerity to retain one of the most successful heroes of the series; at the same time, this also "smashed" the previous rumors. In the sequel, the scenes will not all be tilted towards Fan, but to find a balance between Paul and Fan. This action is also regarded by the outside world as a sign of the continuation of the friendship between Fan and Paul.

After the signing is completed, this will be the first time that Paul has been named a producer in his career as an actor. Not to mention whether Paul will actually participate in the creation of the film, but what can be confirmed is that this is the sequel to the "speed and passion" That is good news for Xi Da Pu Ben.

The media frenzy triggered by the first news had not had time to ferment, and then Universal Pictures released the second and third news.

"Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 6" has signed a contract with Dawn Johnson, confirming that Dawn will appear in at least one work. The specific role has not yet been determined, but it is certain that the drama will be very heavy. Dawn gave affirmation. He said that he missed the cooperation with Lan Li, which was disappointing, but it is worth looking forward to working with Fan and Paul.

"Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 6" has signed a contract with Luke Evans. Currently, there is only a contract for one work, and the details of the role have not yet been determined. The crew is actively discussing with the screenwriter. In an interview, Luke said that he hopes to play the role of the villain, preferably the ultimate villain, which is bound to be very interesting.

Whether it is Dawn or Luke, the industry has not heard any further news, and I don't know at what price Universal Pictures has completed the contract. But what is certain is that the bidding for the sixth part of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" presents a thriving scene, and has not been affected by Lan Li's withdrawal in the slightest.

On the contrary, the joining of Dawn and Luke not only filled the vacancy left by Lan Li, but also strengthened the lineup. The sequel is really worth looking forward to. Not only that, the "speed and excitement/emotion" crew is still seeking the cooperation of Jason Statham, and the role and pay are still under intense discussion.

On the surface, the "speed and excitement/emotion" sequel is finally back on track, and the audience's expectations are slowly rising. But the real insiders know that things are not that simple.

Dawn joined "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 6" with a salary of US$5.5 million. The role has not yet been determined, but it is certain that with this contract, Dawn has officially joined the ranks of first-line actors. In the future, Dawn will play the actor's work. Eight million dollars is the bottom line, and ten million is a high probability event. It's like Lan Li now.

It was postponed for a year, but Dawn still achieved a career leap.

Luke joined "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion~lightnovelpub.net~" with a salary of three million US dollars. This is a qualitative leap for Luke’s actor career. Before that, Luke only served as one The actor of the work, "No Survival" was filmed last year. This work has not yet been released, and the results are naturally unknown. When he took over the filming of this work, Luke was paid 100,000 U.S. dollars.

Luke ushered in the greatest opportunity of his career.

At the beginning, the "speed and excitement/sentiment" crew refused to sign a blue gift with a salary of 8 million yuan. Now it has gone around a big circle and still signed Dawn and Luke with a salary of 8.5 million yuan. Two new stars.

Of course, two actors were exchanged for similar prices without sacrificing box office dividends. This seemed like a good deal. But anyone in the industry knows that this is a trick to bury oneself. Abandoning the successful, affirmed, and rising Lan Li in the fifth installment, choosing a brand-new actor, and creating a brand-new role is tantamount to starting from scratch. The significance of shooting the sequel lies in the accumulation of audience base, and now Universal Pictures has personally overthrown this foundation.

Absolutely faint.

However, on the surface, the "speed and excitement/emotion" crew opened a new chapter with joy. As for the inner truth, it is not known.
