1882 Alone
Diesel suddenly realized that he was already standing on the edge of the abyss, and there was no way to retreat, and if he retreated, he would be crushed to pieces.
What should he do? What else could he do?
"The truth. Although Diesel knew that the truth must be very cruel, and he still did not want to face it if he could, but now he has no way back and no choice. The hoarse voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, just a phrase of syllables, and he could feel the sound tugging at his throat, and the blood began to pour out continuously, but he couldn't stop it.
It's so embarrassing, and there is even a kind of collapse that is desperate.
But Fisher didn't feel it - or rather, he did, but he didn't care, because he wasn't Diesel's psychiatrist, he didn't need to care about Diesel's mental health, if he was sick, please find other places to heal, he was an agent, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the actor's sorrows.
Fisher bowed his head slightly, adjusted his sitting posture, and unpacked all the packages in the most concise way to tell the truth, "The truth is actually very simple, your influence and appeal in the crew have threatened the control of Universal Pictures, they don't want you to continue to dominate the family, otherwise your profit dividends will break through the blockade and there is no upper limit." At this time, Lan Li gave Universal Pictures an opportunity, and Ron Meyer seized it. ”
"Ranley-Hall!" Diesel caught the name in an instant, and his emotions fluctuated again, "Why didn't he want to let me go? I never felt sorry for him, did I? I never threatened his position, did I? Why did he want to be aggressive? Why did he have to take an inch? Why couldn't he let me go? I just wanted to be honest, why did he target me like this?"
Diesel only felt that he was a victim, and all the provocations that were approaching at the beginning were selectively forgotten.
Fisher was not a philanthropic man, and he had no intention of correcting Diesel's extreme ideas — though they all knew how Diesel had broken with his previous agent and came to Fisher.
The original plan was for them to join forces to deal with Lan Li, but Fisher did not expect that the current Lan Li was no longer something that anyone could easily touch, the development of the whole situation was beyond the scope of control, even if they could fight it, it was difficult to reverse the disadvantage, and more importantly, Diesel's matter, Lan Li's advance layout had already laid a net, and Diesel had no chance.
If there is a chance, Fisher still hopes to kill Lan Li's prestige, the first meeting was unpleasant, and what Lan Li insisted on was meaningless in Fisher's eyes, he was very happy to see Lan Li eat deflated, but if the price was to sacrifice his own interests, then he would never do it - he was not a seventeen-year-old hot-blooded youth.
"Do you remember the incident in the hospital at the beginning of the year?" Fisher reminded, and in an instant, he could see that Diesel's face had become very terrifying and gloomy, and even burst out with a hint of murderous aura, but Fisher raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, "I didn't cause it, you don't need to look at me like this." ”
Immediately afterward, Fisher ignored Diesel's anger and shame and continued, "Lan Li reminded him at the time that he has the ability to make your life worse than death, and now he does the same. I dare say he's been laying things out since then, including Paul's turnaround away, including wooing Daun and Jason, and maybe even Michelle, including pushing the production of the Gaiden. With Lan Li's current power and prestige, he could easily pry the lever and then change the whole situation. ”
"Didn't you ask me why? The answer is actually in you, what kind of grievances do you have with Lan Li, so he chose to be so ruthless. To be honest, he doesn't leave you any room for it. "Fisher finally told the truth, the most cruel, the most cold-blooded, and the bloodiest truth.
The answer lies in you. ”
Fisher's understated words struck Diesel like a bolt of lightning, so much so that the muscles of his whole body stiffened.
Diesel squirmed his lips and tried to say something, but found that he didn't say anything right: he wanted to say that he didn't know what Lan Li was crazy about, he wanted to say that it was because he tried to use the song Lan Li gave to Paul as the theme song of the movie, and he wanted to say that it was because Lan Li didn't like him at all...... But all the words got stuck in my throat and stirred up in my head like a pulp.
Why, why, why, why.
Countless question marks echoed in his mind, but he had no answers. He's serious, he doesn't have an answer. He didn't even know how he and Lan Li were on opposite sides, he didn't know how things had come to this point, and even though he knew that the core of the problem was on Lan Li, he still didn't understand what was going on.
Maybe it's because deep down, he never thinks he's done wrong, or maybe it's because in his mind, he never really sorts things out.
Diesel asks a "why", only to get a "why" from Fisher, and then Diesel is stuck in an endless loop - why did Lan Li target him, why did Dawn and Jason have to fight him, why did even Tyrese betray him? Why?
At this point, after a brief surge of anger, the dazed and stunned resurfaced, his mind went blank, and Diesel looked helplessly at Fisher.
Fisher stuck in his throat in one breath, although this was the result he expected, but at this time, he really saw Diesel's ignorant confusion, he still faintly angry-I really don't know how he died, like a pig, since it is useless to investigate the cause, it is more practical to find a solution, "So, what are you going to do now? I mean, are you ready to solve the problem? or are you ready to face the difficulties?"
Diesel was still dazed, as if he didn't understand what Fisher was talking about.
Fisher felt a dull pain in his temples, and Diesel was really ...... Like a mess of mud, how could he be optimistic that Diesel would be able to fight against Lan Li in the first place? Unexpectedly, let alone confrontation, even the goal of Ying Lan Li could not be achieved, this is really ...... It's hard to put into words.
"The best thing to do is for you to leave the Fast & Thrill crew. If you dare to really turn away, then it's Universal Pictures that is in a hurry. Fisher gave the answer in the most straightforward way possible.
Diesel didn't speak, but the panic in his state of silence was the best answer.
Fisher is not surprised that Diesel does not have such domineering and courage.
Although on the surface, Diesel is always very strong, and can even be said to be domineering, and always refuses to compromise, but in fact, this is all an illusion, and the inferiority complex and cowardice in his bones make him fight against him like a bulldog all the time, using a fierce posture to protect his territory, but he does not know that he has unknowingly fallen into a situation of being alone, and finally completely isolated.
If there is no Lan Li and no Dawn, then Diesel can control the situation, because no one in the crew dares to confront Diesel head-on, but in real life, there is no if, no one can always be domineering and no one can always be high, after all, one day it will still be kicked to the iron plate, and once it happens, then it may be irreparable.
"Have you considered reconciling with Lan Li?" Fisher gave another answer.
This time, Diesel's reaction was very straightforward: he shook his head firmly.
There was no reaction when he should have been decisive, and he was extraordinarily crisp when he shouldn't have been arbitrary, Fisher had a little headache, and he tried to persuade him again, "You know Lan Li's ability, if you choose to stay in the crew, then you need to face the separation of power between Dawn and Jason, and you also need to face the division and weakening of the producer's power, as long as Lan Li is willing, he has countless ways to make your life in the crew worse than death." ”
Fisher showed no mercy and bluntly spoke out about the consequences, and Diesel shivered, goosebumps on his back.
The memories in my mind suddenly became clear: when there was a physical altercation in the hospital, Lan Li had grabbed him by the throat and threatened-
"I will destroy all the film projects in your hands one after another! I will crush all your future acting opportunities one after another! I will let you stay in Hollywood and be tortured, and I would rather disappear from the public forever! I will let you lose all the rights, honors, and reputations that you hold in the palm of your hands! I will let you experience what it is like to be a hell on earth!"
Every word, incomparably clear, continued to echo in my ears, and all the fragments of those forgotten memories became vivid, and then my body trembled uncontrollably, because of fear and anger, my whole body seemed to tremble, like a fledgling in a storm.
"He won't let me go. Diesel's voice began to tremble slightly, and he fell into despair, "Why can't he just let me go? Why? He's a madman! So what does he want? What else does he want me to do? Just leave the crew? No! I won't let him get away with it! I'm going to stay, like a fishbone, stumbling at his throat so that he will never be comfortable!"
Diesel didn't know what he was talking about, he was incoherent, he didn't even have a clear idea.
Fisher pretended not to hear and ignored the useless nonsense, "Then now there is only one option left, stay and fight for your interests to the end." ”
