"Who can tell me that I'm shivering with cold, but I still don't want to leave? What's going on? "
"Because you can't see stars like this in New York or Los Angeles, it's no wonder people always say that nowadays, appreciating the stars has become a unique place to travel. Staying in the city, how can you see such a pure and bright star sky? Just stick out your right hand, as if you can pick the stars directly. God, who can refuse such a good time? "
"How can I feel that the most likely reason is that our bodies are already stiff. It's obviously a more comfortable choice to lie here. If we stand up rashly, it seems that people can't bear the joint and muscle problems. So, why don't we move at all?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Make complaints about, laugh at and talk loudly, and bathe in the starlight, even though the body has felt the cold, still reluctant to get up and leave.
When the laughter subsided, Paul sighed softly, "after living in the city for a long time, we still need to go back to the embrace of nature and feel the simplicity again. If you hadn't invited me to Iceland, I would have wanted to go surfing in Malibu. I miss surfing again
Originally, it was just a simple exclamation, but Lan Li savored a trace of regret in his words, so he asked, "why, what's wrong with the crew?"
"Ha. Now that I'm a nominal producer, what else can I be unhappy about? " Paul casually perfunctory, but still slightly guilty to turn his head, secretly glanced at Lan Li, and then met Lan Li's bright eyes, he slightly embarrassed to pull the corners of his mouth, "is still those used to trivial things."
In fact, Paul didn't plan to complain. He didn't plan to tell Langley about the trivial things. What I said just now is just a reflection. But I didn't expect that nothing could be hidden from Lan Li.
"The conflict between van and dawn in the cast has gradually become public."
Paul is still the same Paul. Every time he judges others behind his back, he is always a little soft spoken. Even for the contradictory diesel is no exception.
"He... Is always late; Then, they are more inclined to use doubles. " Paul simply said that he didn't add fuel to the story or express his views. He just stated the facts, but the words still revealed the real situation of the set.
It's disgusting to be late for any cast, but it's undeniable that many big name actors have such privileges. reason? Big name is on the one hand, on the other hand, because of standby time.
It has been mentioned before that the standby time of an actor needs to take up most of the time after he enters the cast. It's very common to wait for a few hours, so the famous actors often stay in their mobile trailers to have a rest. Naturally, if the first scene in the morning doesn't have its own part, it's understandable that the actor delays arriving on the set.
As time goes by, a big name actor will be allowed to be late - provided that there is no part of the actor, otherwise, the whole crew will be waiting for the actor to turn on, which is the real big name.
It can be judged from Paul's words that the word he uses is "late", which means that in some of his plays or his opponent's plays, he is still late. It's hard for the whole crew to stop and wait for him alone.
However, because of the producer's identity and the support of Lang Meyer, the director and other producers have to swallow their anger.
Further, being late is one thing, and being a double is another.
At the beginning of shooting "speed and passion 5", the rival plays of Langley and diesel undoubtedly created a strong spark, and the film was highly praised after it was released. The real fight and the switch of doubles, these two shooting methods will inevitably lead to a realistic gap. Just look at Tom Cruise's desperate spirit of shooting "mission impossible" series, which is really very important for action movies.
However, it is reasonable to use doubles in dangerous scenes. After all, actors are still amateurs, which is still far behind professional martial arts actors.
The reason why Paul specially named the stand in is obviously that diesel gradually began to be lazy and refused to roll up his sleeves in his own part of the play. If it wasn't for the special close-up, all the stand ins would work for him - it's not only unprofessional, but also disrespectful for his fellow actors.
Jason stanson, Donne Johnson, Paul Walker, including Michelle Rodriguez, are all desperate actors. They are all involved in basic martial arts. Especially Donne Johnson, who was born as a wrestler, didn't like fake things any more.
So, when all the other actors in the opponent's play are on the scene in person, only diesel chooses to use the stand in, and it is expected that the balance in everyone's mind will tilt.
First late, then double. It can be said that diesel made a lot of anger in the crew. But unshakable safe and sound, even Paul and dawn could only make complaints about him, because he was one of the core producers of the entire group, and the chain film industry was standing behind him, which made him unshakable.
Why is universal pictures like this?
In fact, we can make a simple horizontal comparison. Why don't Disney fire Johnny Depp and choose a new actor to play "Pirates of the Caribbean"? Why don't Marvel give up Robert Downey Jr. and choose the new iron man?
First of all, the special resonance between them and the characters has been recognized by the audience and integrated into the whole story system; Secondly, after selecting new actors, whether they can continue to succeed, whether they can reach the present height, and whether the cost of replacing actors can be controlled in the expectation.
In short, it is whether the risk and return can be proportional. If you can, it's a matter of course to change actors; But if not, then the film production companies naturally hope to continue to make money. It is the most economical way to keep the current actors, and all the "big name" acts can be tolerated as long as their interests are not harmed.
The most intuitive case is the replacement of the three leading roles of "Spider Man". From Toby Maguire to Andrew Garfield to Tom Holland, Sony Columbia Pictures has never been soft handed; But "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Iron Man" did not change actors, because the existing mode can still maximize the benefits, Disney chose a more relaxed way.
The same is true of van diesel's "speed and passion" series.
Since the fourth film, the face image of the characters has gradually become blurred, which highlights the core position of the male protagonist of the series, and the more he plays, the more influential he is in the drama group, which seems to have become one of the biggest signs of the series.
Now when people talk about the "speed and passion" series, the first image that comes to mind is diesel, followed by Paul and dawn.
Universal pictures also wants to be "lazy" and take a shortcut to maintain its inherent mode.
What Paul didn't catch is that the current dawn is actually the original blue rite. Before the strong rise of dawn, diesel must confirm his dominant position.
What's different between dawn and lenley is that lenley has so many choices that he won't directly threaten diesel; However, Donne is the upstart in action movies. The competition between him and diesel is a life and death battle, so the conflict is bound to be more direct.
Paul didn't have much interest in fighting for power and profit. At the beginning, he couldn't understand the conflict between Russell and Langley, and now he can't understand the confrontation between Russell and dawn; But in fact, the fundamental reason for their peaceful coexistence lies in that Paul has never been eager to dilute his power. Otherwise, it is nothing new to replace one of the two male masterpieces in Hollywood movies.
After a simple sentence, Paul sighed, "making a movie is making a movie. Why can't it be simple? We are all working diligently, hoping to shoot a wonderful work, and also hope that the audience can enjoy the relaxation and pleasure brought by the film. The whole crew is working together to achieve a goal, which is so simple, isn't it good? "
"Things have always been simple, and the complicated... Are people." Lanli said calmly.
Paul quietly looks at the stars above the sky, which is the reason why he likes nature so much. There is no dispute or calculation, and everything keeps the purest and most primitive appearance. "They fight each other every day for trivial things. The cast has become a mess. "
At the end of the day, Paul whispered, "sometimes I have an idea. Is it time for me to leave the cast?"
"Daddy MeDo exclaimed, "even if you want to leave, it should be the bald man who left!"
"He's bald, not bald." Langley seriously corrected that, in such a serious moment, but also seriously "defend" Diesel's reputation, the quarrel has not yet emerged, meDo and Paul can not help laughing.
Paul explained with a smile, "it's nothing to do with him. He didn't force me to leave the crew, and he couldn't do it. However, I don't think there is anything to be nostalgic about such a production group. There are not many people and things I used to like. However, I still can't bear to part with the whole production team. We have worked together for 12 years and witnessed their marriage, birth and death. We have all become family members. If we leave now, I still can't bear it. "
Later, Paul turned his head and looked at lenley and meDo, laughing and joking to himself, "what's more, I don't know what role I can play after I leave this work. After all, I'm not such a talent as lenley."
