Fan could detect Neil's burning gaze, and in a trance, he returned to the condescending contempt and contempt that he had when he first joined the ranks of "Fast and Furious 4" producers a few years ago. , that kind of insignificance and helplessness, Fan knew, and Neil also pushed the mistake on him.
First Michael, then Neil.
That look was clearly saying: Apologize, he must apologize to Paul, he must save Paul, or this disaster will never end. Fan wanted to straighten his back, and angrily turned back, letting Renly get out and Paul getting out too. But, he knew he couldn't. He needs Paul to stay, he needs Paul to keep the whole crew intact, he needs Paul to convince the rest of the cast to stay too. Sometimes, for some things, absolute power will not work, such as popular sentiment.
Fan lowered his head and lowered his eyes, avoiding Neil's sight. He lost.
Neil ignored Fan and continued, "And then there is the candidate to replace Renly. We must react quickly and not allow the damage to continue to expand." Neil took a deep breath, and his smile couldn't help but add a bit of bitterness, "The longer it takes, the more The higher the price we have to pay.”
Right now, people in the industry are speculating about the relationship between the "Fast and the Furious" crew and Renly, especially between Renly and Van.
The best solution is to complete the contract renewal with Renly as soon as possible, and complete it beautifully. In this way, not only will the rumors be cleared up, but they can also take the moral high ground - Renly is releasing that information purely to win a higher paycheck.
However, Renly cut off the way back in a decisive way, and had no intention of continuing the negotiation at all, cutting off all possibilities.
Now, they can let the wind out, Renly's behavior is just to get a higher salary, but they must find an actor to replace Renly as soon as possible before the truth is revealed. The longer they drag on, the more disadvantaged they'll be, either by signing replacement actors for a higher price, or by taking another big gamble like they did last year when they dug up Renly, in either case, Fast and Furious 6 is risky. will go straight up.
Neil had to admit that Renly's last move was too ruthless, putting the entire crew in jail. However, Neil knew Renly's true intentions - Paul Walker. Neil also agrees that Fan's ambitions 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 Renly had dug a hole, Neil not only had to jump himself, but also pushed both Fan and Michael down.
"What do you mean, the longer the time, the greater the price?" Michael frowned and looked puzzled.
Neil looked at Michael 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 completed an amazing move in the dark; and because of Renly Hall's decisiveness, he really did Abandoned without any hesitation, gave up cleanly, showing the atmosphere and calmness of a top superstar.
The development of things has twists and turns, and he has completely failed to keep up with the progress. Looking back now, when he fought for Dawn's 3.5 million salary, he looked like a child playing a house, not only immature, but also simple enough to be ashamed to death.
The only consolation is that Andy didn't accomplish such a feat alone, with the support of an entire creative artist agency behind him. No wonder the top big-name brokers see innovative artist brokerages as the ultimate challenge, and the level is truly different.
However, Jack didn't know why Andy needed Dawn's cooperation in the first place.
So far, all he has done is to reject Michael once. But the problem is that besides Dawn, there are many suitable action actors in Hollywood. If Michael just needs to divert his target, or threaten Renly, they have countless options. One Dawn rejected "Fast and the Furious," not all action actors.
Jack can't see the big picture, and this feeling is a bit suffocating and a bit excited. Suddenly, the door to the office opened, and the assistant's head popped in, whispering, "Neil-H-Moretz's number is on line four."
Jack was stunned for half a second, then put the newspaper in his hand on the table, "Okay, take it in." His eyes fell on the newspaper, and the headline on the entertainment page was, "Renly Hall is confirmed to be in 'Killing Samsara', The first challenge to a commercial film lead." Then he picked up the phone, trying to keep his voice sounding normal. "Jack Wallace was talking."
Renly will be absent from the production of the "Fast and Furious" sequel, and the rumor will naturally die, which means that the biggest contributor to the miracle of the fifth part of the series - at least one of them, will not be able to appear on the big screen again. Such an explosive news, in the relatively deserted autumn season, is completely comparable to nuclear weapons. The turbulent mushroom cloud has attracted everyone's attention. However, before the reaction of the media and the Internet could explode, the development of the incident took a turning point again. .
Universal Pictures officially announced that the sixth and seventh "Fast and the Furious" have officially completed the renewal of Paul Walker's contract, and they have ensured that this will be a blockbuster signing that truly empowers Paul The same status as Fan ensures that the two biggest heroes of the series will continue to meet the audience on the big screen.
According to industry rumors, Paul's condition for signing two sequels is 15 million US dollars, 7% of the box office dividends, and at the same time ranks among the producers.

This level of signing is at the top level for any crew, which is equal to Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and others. At the moment, it may be slightly inferior to Johnny Depp and Robert Tang Jr. That's it; even in the "Fast and Furious" own crew, Paul has already been on an equal footing with Fan Ping, the only difference is that Fan's box office bonus is 8%, an increase of one percentage point.
If the sixth "Fast and Furious" film can still make $300 million in North America, then Paul's pre-tax salary will reach $36 million.
There is no doubt that after missing Renly, the "Fast and Furious" crew finally showed enough sincerity to keep one of the biggest contributors to the success of the series; at the same time, this also "shattered" the previous rumors , In the sequel, the scenes will not be all tilted towards Fan, but will find a balance between Paul and Fan, which is also considered 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 Paul's acting career has been named a producer, not to mention whether Paul will actually participate in the creation of the film, but it can be confirmed that this is the sequel to "Fast and Furious" It is good news for Xi Da Pu Ben.
The media frenzy caused by the first news has not had time to ferment, and then Universal Pictures released the second and third news.
"Fast and Furious 6" signed a contract with Dwayne Johnson, confirming that Dwayne will appear in at least one work. The specific role has not yet been determined, but it is certain that the role will be very heavy. Dawn affirmed it. He said that he missed the cooperation with Renly, which was disappointing, but it is worth looking forward to working with Fan and Paul.
"Fast and Furious 6" signed a contract with Luke Evans. At present, 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 stated that he wants to play the villain, preferably the ultimate villain, which is bound to be fun.
Whether it is Dawn or Luke, the industry has not heard any further news, and it is unknown at what price Universal Pictures completed the signing. But what is certain is that the preparations for the sixth "Fast and the Furious" show a thriving scene, unaffected by Renly's exit.
On the contrary, the addition of Dawn and Luke not only fills the vacancy left by Renly, but also strengthens the lineup, and the sequel is really worth looking forward to. Not only that, the "Fast and Furious" crew is still seeking the cooperation of Jason Statham, and the role and remuneration are still under intense discussion.
On the surface, the "Fast & Furious" sequel is finally back on track, and audience expectations are slowly rising. But the real insiders know that things are not that simple.
Dawn joined "Fast and Furious 6" with a salary of $5.5 million. The role has not yet been determined, but it is certain that with this contract, Dawn has officially entered the ranks of first-line actors. In the future, for Dawn's work as the leading actor, the salary of 8 million is the bottom line, and 10 million is a high probability event. Just like Renly now.
It was delayed a year, but Dawn still made a career leap.
Luke joined "Fast & Furious 6" for $3 million. This is a qualitative leap for Luke's acting career. Before that, Luke had only served as the male lead in one work. Last year, "No One Survived" was filmed. This work has not yet been released, and the results are naturally unknown. When he took over this work, Lu Gram's salary is $100,000.
Luke has the biggest opportunity in his career.
At the beginning, the "Fast and Furious" crew refused to sign Renly with a salary of 8 million, but now they have made a big circle and signed Dwayne and Luke with a salary of 8.5 million. two new stars.
Of course, for a similar price, but for two actors, and without sacrificing box office dividends, this seems like a good deal. But as anyone in the industry knows, this is a trick to bury yourself. Abandoning Renly, who has been successful, affirmed, and still rising in the fifth film, and chooses brand-new actors and creates brand-new characters, is tantamount to starting from scratch. The point of filming a sequel is an ever-accumulating audience base, which Universal Pictures has now overturned with its own hands.
Absolutely stupid.
But, on the surface, the "Fast and the Furious" crew is happily kicking off a new chapter. As for the true state of mind, it is unknown.
