Chapter 1788

"Two billion dollars."

"Twenty... Cough, wait, cough... What..."? Two billion? Are you sure the unit is billion Paul was directly choked by his own saliva, coughed violently, and his whole face turned red, just like a ripe shrimp, but his eyes still looked at lanli in disbelief, trying to further verify.

Lenley nodded his head with a smile.

Mei duo, who was sitting on one side, was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She just stared at Lan Li. Lan Li couldn't help laughing because of her stunned expression. "Mei duo, close your mouth, the fly is about to fly in." But Meiduo still did not respond. At last, lanli raised his right hand, dragged Meiduo's chin and closed it gently.

Paul calmed down a little, but his brain was still in a mess. "You mean, this is just the first start-up fund? I mean, I know it's not easy for a production company to make a movie. It takes a lot of money and investment to make a movie, but... It's just the first start-up money? "

Paul himself is an actor, and he once worked as a producer. Naturally, he can't understand the specific process of the film production industry any more, but he was still shocked at this time.

Five million dollars is enough to set up an independent film production company, and now blue Lee needs... Two billion?

Lenley nodded in the affirmative, "are you interested in learning about Sisyphus pictures' blueprint now?" Only when we understand the idea of Langley can we really understand that two billion dollars is only the first step.

"No..." Paul pauses for a moment, seems to think seriously about the proposal, and then repeats, "no, No. Forget it. Even a five million dollar proposal would give me a headache; Now it's a two billion proposal. It's obviously more complicated. Reading the proposal just makes me more confused. "

"But at least you should think about it. It's not a small thing." Langley went back to the topic. Without waiting for Paul to explain, he went on to explain, "Paul, I know you don't have much interest in business management. Even the proposal to be a producer at the beginning gives you a headache, and so do I. However, the business of Sisyphus film needs us to spend more energy. Are you sure you want to participate in it? "

According to Paul's character, he is bound to be hesitant, at least hesitant, but he said directly, "remember our last topic: should I continue to play 'speed and passion'

"I've decided that after I leave the hospital, I'll join the crew and finish filming the seventh film. Then I'll officially terminate my contract with universal pictures and leave the series." In this way, Paul understated his decision.

Unexpected, but reasonable.

MeDo looked at Paul in surprise, and even Langley showed an unexpected look. For Paul, the "speed and passion" series is not only a set of film works, but also a spiritual sustenance. Those crew members are his family, and the content of the film is his passion. But now, he has decided to leave and say goodbye to the past, It was not an easy decision.

However, Paul seemed very free and easy and said with a smile, "I can stay in the cast. I believe they very much hope that I can stay. I can become a legend and keep my name together with the series of films forever; But Langley, if I stay there all the time, I'll never be able to start over, right? "

Paul looked at lenley, his bright and sunny eyes were so hot that they fell heavily on his shoulder. Then lenley gently agreed: break and stand, never break and never stand. This is the simplest truth, but not everyone can implement it.

Because human beings are greedy animals, which is nature as well as nature. They always think of the best of both worlds, always think of the best of both worlds, and always refuse to let go - why can't Paul play "speed and passion" and open up a new career? Why does Paul have to give up "speed and passion" to open up a new situation?

That's the problem. Why not?

Yeah, why?

Not only Paul, but also van diesel, Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, etc. they are all brilliant because of the success of a role, but also tied hands and feet because of the success of the role. They will never be able to find a "brand new" start without breaking their close ties with their characters.

Most of the actors in the marvel series are like this.

That's why Langley didn't want to take over the role of Marvel from the beginning - or DC, too. If you choose a superhero or a series of movies, you will inevitably give up your personality; If you choose your own personality, you are likely to miss those surging waves of popularity.

Now, once again, Paul faces a choice.

"And I want to start over." Paul said calmly.

Behind such a simple sentence, it is too complicated to start with - no one can really understand how much impact this accident had on Paul's life, not even Langley. Only Paul himself knows that all the vicissitudes and complications are hidden in this simple sentence.

MeDo was still unable to respond and fell into a short blank state.

Until now, meDo still remembers the first time she saw her father perform on the big screen.

Although Paul never missed meDo's childhood, meDo didn't have much impression of Paul's work. Both his father and mother kept quiet - occasionally mentioned that Paul was an office worker who needed to travel a lot. Hawaii is a place with simple folk customs and simple life. The Internet is developed, but it can't keep the children in the room. MeDo still prefers to play outdoors, surf, climb mountains, climb rocks and so on. Outdoor activities fill her life, which also makes meDo never get to know her father's fame.

As like as two peas, she was very silly to joke with everyone when she heard about the name of Paul Walker. "Well, the actor is exactly the same as my father," and then their group of small buddy still fantasies about it, pretending that maid was the heroine in the princess diary. I found out by accident that my father was really a famous actor Paul Walker, and then I started a romantic and wonderful trip to Hollywood... And so on.

Laughing and fantasizing, meDo and her friends rushed to the cinema to watch "speed and passion 4" - meDo was only nine years old at that time, and the film rating was PG-13, which meant they were not allowed to watch the film. As a result, a group of kids sneaked into the screening hall, That thrilling story is still fresh in my mind.

But more importantly, when meDo saw Paul on the big screen, the moment was still vivid.

"Speed and passion" series is obviously more than a movie for meDo; But now, Paul has decided to leave the series?

Paul seems to be aware of meDo's surprise and consternation. He throws a shallow smile at his daughter. "I hope to watch meDo grow up, see her tumble and fall, see her stand up again, and create a world with her own hands." Simple words are moving, but that's not all“ I also hope to become an actor and regain my original enthusiasm. Maybe I won't become a master with outstanding acting skills, but I can still perform a different life in the film. "

For the sake of meDo and himself, Paul made the decision to turn around and leave.

Mei duo met her father's eyes. A thin layer of warmth appeared in her eyes. She bit her lower lip gently and nodded her head to express her affirmation.

Paul's smile opened, and his eyes returned to lenley. "So, I decided to join. No matter how much risk I have to face, I have no problem. "

Raleigh could feel Paul's firm belief. He didn't say anything more, but he just nodded his approval.

"Looking back, I need to meet my accountant to see how many assets I have on hand. Over the years, all my expenses have been concentrated in the garage. Maybe I can transfer some of my collections to my friends... "Speaking of this, Paul noticed the accident in lanli's eyes, and he quickly explained.

"It's not selling iron by smashing the pot, it's just sharing with each other. You know, for our car lovers, it's also one of the values of our collection to meet friends who appreciate good cars. My collection has already exceeded 50 cars. In the future, I'm sure I won't run out to drag racing so frequently. MeDo won't agree. "

Don't need to say anything more, Langley and Paul can see meDo put on a "female night fork" look, as if to say: if you dare to drag racing again, you will do it?

Raleigh and Paul both laughed.

"So I can transfer some of my collections to my friends. The value of a good car should be on the road, not in the garage. Besides, I'll sort out some of my working capital and finally I'll write you a check. " Paul simply said, "compared to your assets, I may not have much here, but at least I can help get close to the 2 billion target."

Langley could feel Paul's full support without too much words. Thanks seemed pale and powerless. Their friendship had far exceeded those polite words. So Langley joked with a smile, "it's bad. The responsibility is getting bigger and bigger. Originally, I just thought that it doesn't matter if I go bankrupt. Anyway, I don't care too much. But now the problem is serious. For meDo, I should roll up my sleeves and work hard. "

Not for Paul, but for meDo's dowry?

"Lan Li!" Looking at the happy Langley and Paul, meDo rolled a big white eye and exclaimed.
