Fan can feel Neil's burning eyes. In a trance, he goes back to the condescending scorn and disdain, the insignificance and helplessness when he first joined the ranks of "speed and passion 4" producers a few years ago. Fan knows that Neil has also pushed the mistake on him.
First Michael, then Neil.
The eyes clearly said: apologize, he must apologize to Paul, he must save Paul, otherwise this disaster will be endless. Fan wanted to straighten his back, angrily took it back, let lanli roll, let Paul roll too. But he knows he can't. He needs Paul to stay, he needs Paul to keep the whole crew intact, he needs Paul to convince the other actors to stay. Sometimes, there are some things, such as popular support, where absolute power doesn't work.
Van lowered his head and eyes, avoiding Neil's gaze. He lost.
Neil did not continue to pay attention to fan, and then said, "then there is the replacement of Langley, we must respond quickly, can not let the damage continue to expand." Neil took a deep breath. There was more bitterness in his smile. "The longer it takes, the more we have to pay."
Now, people in the industry are speculating about the relationship between the "speed and passion" crew and Lan Li, especially the relationship between Lan Li and fan.
The best solution is to renew the contract with lanli at the first time and finish it beautifully. Even if you give up part of your interests, you will stop losing as soon as possible. In this way, not only can they clarify the rumors, but they can also occupy the moral high ground - lenley released the news purely to win higher film pay.
However, Lan Li cut off the back road in a decisive way. He had no intention to continue the negotiation and cut off all possibilities.
Now, they can let out the wind that lanli's behavior is just to strive for higher film pay, but they must find an actor to replace lanli as soon as possible before the truth comes out. The longer the delay, the more unfavorable they will be. Either they will sign a contract to replace the actors with a higher price, or they will gamble again like last year's mining of lanli. In either case, the risk of "speed and passion 6" will rise sharply.
Neil had to admit that the last move of Langley was too cruel, which made the whole crew in prison. However, Neil knows the real intention of Langley - Paul Walker. Neil also agrees that fan's ambition and arrogance have been inflated and almost out of control. They need someone to contain fan. Paul is undoubtedly the best choice.
So, even if he knew that Langley had dug a hole, Neil would not only jump himself, but also push van and Michael down.
"What is the longer the time, the greater the cost?" Michael frowned, puzzled.
Neil looks at Michael like a layman and sighs.
Jack Wallace is stunned, because Andy Rogers's wrist is dazzling, hiding behind the news, but he has done amazing things secretly; Even more, because of the decisive decision of Langley hall, he really gave up without any hesitation and gave up cleanly, showing the atmosphere and calm of the top stars.
The development of things is full of twists and turns. He can't keep up with the progress at all. Looking back, when he was fighting for 3.5 million yuan for Donne, it looks like a kid's family. It's not only immature, but also simple. It's shameful enough to die.
The only consolation is that Andy didn't accomplish such a feat alone. He has the support of an entire innovative artist agency behind him. It's no wonder that the top brokers regard the innovative artist agency as the ultimate challenge, and the level is really different.
However, Jack does not know why Andy needed the cooperation of dawn at the beginning.
So far, all he has done is turn Michael down once. But the problem is, besides dawn, there are many suitable action actors in Hollywood. If Michael just needs to shift his target or threaten Langley, they have many choices. A Donne refuses "speed and passion." it's impossible for all action actors to refuse.
Jack can't see the whole situation. This kind of feeling is a bit subdued and excited. All of a sudden, the door of the office opened and the assistant's head popped in, whispering, "Neil h. Moritz's phone is on line 4."
Jack was stunned for half a second and put the newspaper on the desk. "OK, come in." The attention fell on the newspaper and the entertainment headline, which was that "Langley hall decided to play the role of" samsara of killing "and challenged the leading role of a commercial film for the first time". Then he picked up the phone and tried to make his voice sound normal. "Jack Wallace is talking."
Lanli is about to miss the production of the sequel of "speed and passion", and the biography will naturally die, which means that the biggest contributor to the miracle of the fifth series, at least one of them, will not be able to appear on the big screen again. Such a strong news, in the relatively cold autumn, is completely comparable to nuclear weapons, and the turbulent mushroom cloud has attracted everyone's attention. However, before the media and the Internet have had time to explode, the development of the event has taken another turn.
Universal Pictures officially announced that the sixth and seventh films of "speed and passion" have officially completed the contract renewal work with Paul Walker, and they ensure that this will be a heavyweight signing, truly giving Paul and fan equal status, and ensuring that the two greatest heroes of the series will continue to meet the audience on the big screen.
According to industry rumors, Paul signed two sequels on the condition of $15 million, 7% box office bonus and being a producer.
This level of signing is at the top of any production group, which is equal to Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and others. At present, it may be slightly inferior to Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr; Even in his own "speed and passion" crew, Paul and fan Ping have been sitting side by side. The only difference is that fan's box office bonus is 8%, one percentage point more.
If the sixth film of "speed and passion" can still make 300 million box office in North America, Paul's pre tax film salary will reach 36 million US dollars.
There is no doubt that after missing lanli, the "speed and passion" crew finally showed enough sincerity to retain one of the most successful heroes in the series; At the same time, it also "shatters" the previous rumors. In the sequel, the play will not all lean towards fan, but find a balance between Paul and fan. This move is also regarded by the outside world as a sign of the continuation of the friendship between fan and Paul.
After signing the contract, it will be Paul's first time to become a famous producer in his career. It's not to say whether Paul will really participate in the film creation, but it can be confirmed that this is good news for the sequel of "speed and passion".
The media frenzy caused by the first news has not yet been fermented, and then Universal Pictures released the second and third news.
"Speed and passion 6" has signed a contract with dawn Johnson to make sure that dawn will play at least one work. The specific role has not been decided yet, but it is certain that the play will be very heavy. Donne confirmed that he missed the cooperation with Langley, which was disappointing, but it is worth looking forward to cooperating with van der Waals and Paul.
"Speed and passion 6" has signed a contract with Luke Evans. At present, there is only one contract for the work, and the details of the role have not been determined. The crew is actively discussing with the screenwriter. In an interview, Luke said he wanted to play the role of villain, preferably the ultimate villain, which is bound to be very interesting.
Whether it's dawn or Luke, the industry hasn't heard any further news. It doesn't know what price Universal Pictures has completed the signing. But it is certain that the preparation for the sixth film of "speed and passion" has shown a prosperous scene, and it has not been affected by the withdrawal of lenley.
On the contrary, the joining of Wayne and Luke not only filled the vacancy of Langley's departure, but also strengthened the lineup. The sequel is really worth looking forward to. Not only that, the "speed and passion" crew is still seeking the cooperation of Jason stanson. At present, the role and remuneration are still under intensive discussion.
On the surface, "speed and passion" sequel is finally back on track, and the audience's expectations are slowly rising. But real insiders know that things are not that simple.
Donne joined "speed and passion 6" for $5.5 million. The role has not been confirmed yet, but it is certain that with this contract, Donne has officially become a front-line actor. In the future, when Donne plays the leading actor, 8 million is the bottom line, and 10 million is a high probability event. It's just like the blue rite now.
After a year's delay, dawn made a career leap.
Luke joined speed and passion 6 for $3 million. This is a qualitative leap forward for Luke's acting career. Before that, Luke only played the leading role in one work. Last year, he shot "no one survived". This work has not been released so far, so the result is not known. When he took over this work, Luke was paid 100000 US dollars.
Luke has the biggest chance of his career.
At the beginning, the "speed and passion" crew refused to sign Lan Li for 8 million yuan. Now they have made a big circle, signing dawn and Luke for 8.5 million yuan, winning two new stars in one breath.
Of course, the similar price, but in exchange for two actors, and do not sacrifice the box office bonus, this seems to be a good deal. But any one in the industry knows that this is a trick to bury himself. To give up the successful, affirmed and rising lanli in the fifth film, to choose new actors and create new roles is to start from scratch. The significance of shooting sequels lies in the accumulation of audience base, which has been overthrown by Universal Pictures.
Absolutely stupid.
On the surface, however, the "speed and passion" crew is cheerfully opening a new chapter. As for the true situation of the heart, it is not known.
