"Who can tell me that I'm shivering from the cold right now, but I still don't want to leave?

Because you can't see the stars in New York or Los Angeles, it's no wonder people say that stargazing is now a unique place to visit. How can you see such a pure and brilliant starry sky when you stay in the city? Just stretch out your right hand, as if you can pluck those stars directly. God, who can refuse such a beautiful moment?"

"How do I think, the most likely is because our bodies are already stiff, lying here is obviously a more comfortable choice, if you stand up rashly, this joint problem and muscle problem seems to be a little unbearable, so, just don't move?"

"Hahahaha. ”

The sounds of ridicule, banter, and complaining were bathed in the starry sky, and even though the body had already felt the cold, he was still reluctant to get up and leave.

The laughter subsided, and Paul sighed softly, "After living in the city for a long time, I still need to return to the embrace of nature and feel this simplicity and simplicity again." If you hadn't invited me to Iceland, I would have thought of surfing in Malibu. I'm starting to miss surfing again. ”

Originally, it was just a simple exclamation, but Lan Li savored a trace of embarrassment in his words, so he asked casually, "What, what's unpleasant in the crew?"

"Huh. I'm also a nominal producer now, so what's so unpleasant?" Paul said casually, but still turned his head a little weakly, glanced at Lan Li secretly, and then met Lan Li's bright eyes, he tugged at the corners of his mouth a little embarrassed, "It's still those trivial things that are used to it." ”

Actually, Paul had no intention of complaining, and he was not prepared to tell Lan Li about those trivial matters. What I just said was just a feeling. But I didn't expect that I couldn't hide anything from Lan Li.

"The conflict between Fan and Dawn in the crew has gradually become public. ”

Paul is still the same Paul, and every time he judges others behind his back, he is always a little soft-mouthed. Even for the conflicted Diesel is no exception.

He ...... Always being late, and then, more inclined to use a stand-in. Paul said simply, without adding fuel or expressing opinions, just stating the facts, but still revealing the real situation on the set in a few words.

Being late is an obnoxious act in any crew, but there's no denying that many big-name actors have such privileges. The reason is that the big names are on the one hand, and on the other hand, because of the standby time.

As mentioned before, it is very common for actors to take up most of their standby time after entering the crew, and it is very common to wait for hours, so big-name actors often stay in their mobile trailers to rest. Naturally, if the first scene in the morning did not have its own scene, then the actors were understandably delayed in arriving on the set.

Over time, big-name actors are allowed to have the privilege of being late - provided that there is no role for this actor, otherwise, the whole crew is waiting for this actor to turn on, and that is the real big name.

Judging from Paul's words, the word he uses is "late", which means that in some Diesel scenes or rival scenes, Diesel is still late, and it is unbearable for the whole crew to stop and wait for him alone.

However, because of Diesel's status as a producer, but also with the support of Ron Meyer, the director and other producers could only swallow their anger.

Taking it a step further, being late is one thing, a stand-in is another.

When filming "Fast and Exciting / Love 5", the rivalry between Lan Li and Diesel undoubtedly created a strong spark, and the movie was well received after its release. The switch between real fights and stand-ins, these two shooting methods will inevitably cause a gap in realism, just look at Tom Cruise's desperate spirit in filming the "Mission Impossible" series, which is really important for action movies.

However, it is reasonable to use stand-ins for dangerous scenes, after all, actors are still amateurs after all, and there is still a gap compared to professional martial arts actors.

The reason why Paul specifically pointed out the stand-in is obviously because Diesel gradually began to be lazy, refusing to roll up his sleeves in his own role and go into battle in person, if not for special close-ups, all of them are done by stand-ins - this is not only disrespectful, but also disrespectful to the actors in the same show.

Jason Statham, Dwayne Johnson, Paul Walker, including Michelle Rodriguez, are all actors with a desperate style, and all the basic martial arts scenes are played in person. Dwayne Johnson, in particular, is a wrestler himself, and he doesn't like fake things even more.

Then, when all the other rival actors participated in the battle in person, only Diesel chose to use a stand-in, and it was expected that the balance in everyone's hearts would tilt.

First it was late, then it was a stand-in. Diesel was outraged in the crew. However, he was still able to be safe and sound, and even Paul and Dawn could only complain behind his back, because he was one of the core producers of the entire crew, and even Universal Pictures stood behind him, which made him unshakable.

Why is Universal Pictures like this?

In fact, you can make a simple horizontal comparison, why didn't Disney fire Johnny Depp and choose a new actor to play "Pirates of the Caribbean"? Why didn't Marvel Studios give up Robert Downey Jr. and choose the new "Iron Man"?

First of all, the resonance between them and the characters has been recognized by the audience and integrated with the entire story system, and secondly, after choosing a new actor, whether it can continue to be successful, whether it can reach the current height, and whether the cost of replacing the actor can be controlled as expected.

To put it simply, it is whether the risk and return can be proportional. If it can, then it is a matter of course to change actors, but if not, then the film production company naturally wants to continue to make money, and keeping the current actors is the most economical way, and all the "big names" behavior, as long as it does not hurt their interests, is tolerable.

The most intuitive case is the renewal of the three starring roles of "Spider-Man", from Tobey Maguire to Andrew Garfield to Tom Holland, Sony Columbia Pictures has never been soft, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Iron Man" have not changed actors, because the existing model can still maximize the benefits, Disney has chosen an easier path.

The same is true for Vin Diesel for the "Fast & Thrilling" series.

Although Diesel and Paul are the two male protagonists of the series, Paul is an indisputable personality, and since the fourth part, the face image of the characters has gradually blurred, which highlights the core position of Diesel's male protagonist, and it has become more and more intense, and Diesel's influence in the crew has gradually risen, and it has become one of the biggest signboards of the series.

Nowadays, when people think of the "Fast & Thrill" series, the first image that comes to mind is Diesel, followed by Paul and Daun.

Universal Pictures also wants to be "lazy" and take shortcuts and keep the established pattern going.

What Paul didn't capture was that the current Dawn was actually the original Blue Rite. Diesel focused all his firepower on Daun, and it could even be said that he consciously aimed at Daun, and before Daun could rise strongly, Diesel had to confirm his dominance.

The difference between Dawn and Lan Li is that Lan Li has a lot of choices, and he will not threaten Diesel head-on, while Dawn is an upstart in action movies, and the competition between him and Diesel is a head-to-head contest between you and Diesel, so the conflict is bound to be more direct.

Paul didn't have much interest in fighting for power, he couldn't understand the conflict between Diesel and Lan Li at the beginning, and now he can't understand the confrontation between Diesel and Dawn, but in fact, the fundamental reason why Diesel and Paul can coexist peacefully is that Paul has never been eager to dilute Diesel's power, otherwise, it is not a new thing to replace one of the works of two male protagonists in Hollywood movies.

After a brief sentence, Paul sighed with embarrassment, "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 movie, and the whole crew works together to achieve a goal, which is so simple, isn't that good?"

"Things have always been simple, but complicated...... It's people. Lan Li said calmly.

Paul quietly looked at the stars above the canopy, which is why he loved nature so much, there was no strife or calculation, everything remained the purest and most primitive, "They were fighting each other in the crew every day, arguing with each other over trivial things. The crew has become smoky. ”

Pulling the corners of his mouth, Paul said softly, "Sometimes, I can't help but have a thought, is it time for me to leave the crew?"

"Daddy!" Mei Duo exclaimed, "Even if you want to leave, it should be the bald man who leaves!"

"He's just bald, not bald. Lan Li corrected it seriously, and at such a serious moment, he was still seriously "maintaining" Diesel's reputation, and before the quarrel appeared, Meadow and Paul couldn't help laughing.

Paul explained with a smile on his lips, "It has nothing to do with him." He didn't force me to leave the crew, and he couldn't do it. It's just that I don't think there is anything to be nostalgic for such a crew, the people and things I used to like, there are not many left, but I still can't bear the whole production team, we have worked together for 12 years, witnessed them get married and have children, and also witnessed those births, old age, sickness and death, we have all become family, if we leave now, we are still reluctant. ”

Then, Paul turned his head to look at Lan Li and Mei Duo, and laughed at himself, "What's more, I don't know what role I can play after leaving this work, after all, I'm not an acting genius like Lan Li." ”
