Paul Walker is awake!

As the largest, most authoritative and most concentrated gossip news gathering place in the industry, TMZ website got the news from the secret channels as soon as possible and took the lead in announcing the good news.

In an instant, the frenzy of discussion on social networks exploded, and the overwhelming sound of blessings poured out, and the mood of joy and joy turned into exclamations and exclamations everywhere, which seemed to have become the happiest and most beautiful news since the beginning of 2014, and no one was an exception.

Immediately afterwards, Caleb Walker and Cody Walker issued an official statement through the "Los Angeles Times" on behalf of Paul, officially confirming the news that Paul is out of danger, but he still needs to recuperate and rest for a period of time, Paul is now looking forward to returning to his work as an actor after recovery, and sincerely thanks the majority of supporters for their care and blessings.

Regardless of whether you like the "Fast and Thrill/Love" series, whether you like Paul Walker or not, or even whether you like movies or not, you can see that everyone has expressed their blessings overnight, and the chain effect is far beyond imagination, in the face of life, old age, sickness and death, it seems that everyone is on the same front, I don't know whether to be happy or sad, this accident has made Paul's popularity and influence reach a new high in his career.

The curtain of the New Year slowly opened, and Paul's accident and escape from death undoubtedly added a different color to the year, and the warm winter sun of California quietly passed through the layers of clouds and mist, sprinkled on the entire North American continent, bringing a little warmth, but no one could predict what impact it would have on the whole year.

At least for now, it's inevitable that Fast & Thrill 7 will suffer.

Before the film is yet to be made, all sorts of discussions on social media platforms have begun to boil: whether the film will be able to complete the production on time, will Paul's accidental injury affect the character's role in the film, will the film's subsequent arrangements for the role be changed, will the film's scheduled release schedule be affected, and so on.

Universal Pictures officials responded immediately.

All filming will be temporarily halted, the scheduled release date will be postponed accordingly, and the crew will wait indefinitely for Paul to return to the crew once he recovers.

Paul is an integral part of the Fast & Thrill crew, he's a key part of the family, and his characters and story are an asset to the whole film. With our sincere and sincere blessings, we look forward to Paul being able to join us again in our battle. ”

Actors and directors including Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson have also taken a stand, and they will wait patiently for Paul no matter how long it takes.

Universal's response was undoubtedly timely and in place, leading to numerous voices of support on social networks, with all viewers saying that they would wait patiently for Paul's return, and that they would actually show their support by buying tickets to go to theaters on the occasion of the film's release.

As a result, "Fast and Thrilling" was forced to postpone its release time, and it was destined to miss this year's annual schedule, which was a heavy blow to Universal's promotion plan, but it is uncertain now, perhaps it is a blessing in disguise, giving the film more potential at the box office.

Paul's accident, "Fast and Thrilling/Emotional" is not the only work that has been directly affected, and the filming schedule of "Interstellar" has also been indirectly affected.

But unlike "speed and excitement", the rumors of "Interstellar" are just circulating in the industry.

It is rumored that the insiders of the "Interstellar" crew accused Lan Li of taking care of one thing and losing the other, and frequently went to the hospital to visit Paul and delayed the filming progress of the crew.

There is no doubt within the crew about the friendship between Lan Li and Paul, and they also express sympathy and pity for Paul's situation, but Lan Li ignores all the other staff of the entire huge crew for personal matters, which is extremely amateurish behavior, and is far from Lan Li's consistent "dedicated and professional" image. It's hard to disagree.

As for the reason behind it, whether it is the past reputation is just an image project, and there are countless actors who are different in Hollywood, or whether it is the behavior of a big name after a huge success and has lost its usual good qualities?

The point is that Lan Li's self-serving big-name actions seem to offend the public outrage – or key people.

News is always surging within Hollywood, and many people in the industry have heard about the rumors, but most of them are holding a posture of standing by and watching, as if they are waiting for the show to play out.

Then, TMZ was once again in the spotlight, piercing the window paper.

TMZ was the first to break the news that there was a conflict within the crew of "Interstellar", and pointed the finger at Lan Li, saying that Lan Li's disprofessional attitude was being criticized, and rumors of playing big names were endless. However, no further definite information has been obtained on the main content of the contradictions.

This also makes Lanli once again the focus on social networking platforms.

TMZ then went on to break the news that the senior management of "Interstellar" expressed strong dissatisfaction with Lan Li's repeated visits to Paul in the hospital and affected the filming work of the crew, and even after communication, Lan Li still refused to change his teachings, and the entire crew of more than 400 staff members had to wait for Lan Li.

The trend of public opinion on the Internet suddenly diverged, some people supported Lan Li, thinking that Lan Li attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and in the face of accidents, of course, friends are more important; some people support the high-level, thinking that Lan Li is not professional enough, and it affects the work of the entire crew because of personal matters, which is irresponsible.

That's the end of TMZ's revelations, no further inside story has been revealed, who did Lan Li offend? What is the internal attitude of the top management of the crew? Does this have an impact on the filming and subsequent distribution of the film? and so on, all the questions are left to the audience to speculate on their own.

Industry insiders are also secretive, and no more insider revelations have come out, which has made things more and more confusing, but reporters or other relevant people who really know the ins and outs of the situation have quickly figured out the general outline of the whole incident: Obviously, the contradiction between Thomas Toole and Ranley Hall has gradually surfaced.

On the one hand, there are the top investment producers in the industry who have close ties to Wall Street, and they have money and power in their hands, even the helm of the big six film companies cannot be taken lightly, and on the other hand, there are the top superstars who have changed the market structure of the entire film industry, and their commercial value is enough to make any film company tempted.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and one will be injured when two tigers fight, so who will be able to have the last laugh this time? Faintly, it actually makes people a little excited.

What is even more worth savoring is that Warner Bros. did not stand up for the first time to curb the rumors, as if he had been killed by surprise, is this what Kevin Tsujihara meant, or is it the attitude of middle management? This seems to be meaningful.

Onlookers are watching the buzz, and those involved are suffering — and this is the CEO of Universal Pictures, Ron Meyer, not Interstellar and the top brass of Warner Bros.

The conflict between Thomas Toole and Ranley Hall is becoming more and more tricky for Universal Pictures, especially the knock-on effects of Paul Walker's accident, which makes Ron Meyer have to be cautious, and he can now finally understand Kevin Tsujihara's feelings-

Regardless of the relationship between Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros., the only link between them is "Interstellar", but the next thing will be Universal Pictures to take over, which also means that for a long time to come, Ron Meyer will still need to continue to deal with Thomas Tole, and a little carelessness may be that Ron Meyer loses his job.

However, these measurements and games are the worries of high-level people, and for art creators, their ideas are much simpler.

Christopher Nolan was interviewed by phone from the New York Times, "Ridiculous! Ridiculous!" This is Christopher's attitude towards the rumors, "Lan Li's dedication has never been doubted! In the past time, the filming work of the crew has never been delayed because of Lan Li's relationship, on the contrary, Emma and I have always been worried about Lan Li's state, but Lan Li still completed all the work arrangements conscientiously. His professional attitude and dedication are admirable, and those false rumors are the biggest harm to such an excellent actor. ”

Not only Christopher, but Emma Thomas also expressed a similar opinion, "I can guarantee that the filming of the crew is still on the normal track, without any delays and delays. Personally, after this collaboration, my love for Lan Li has reached a higher level, and you should really look at his state when he was working on the crew. ”

"I don't want to answer such a stupid question. This is Jessica Chastain's response to reporters, and then she herself thinks it is too ridiculous and laughs, "First of all, even if Lan Li delayed the filming schedule for the sake of his friends, I don't think it's a selfish performance, we are actors, but we are all ordinary people before we become actors, in the midst of grief and pain, we do our job dutifully, this is what we strive to achieve, but it is not something that can be achieved all the time, even Superman has his own pain, isn't it?"

"Secondly, I want to confront each other. I hope that anyone who has made such rumors will stand in front of me and confront me directly, and I can assure you that they are all false!" Jessica took a stand in her own unique and tough way.
