1883 Resigned to fate

A choice. Fight to the end.

Diesel looked at Fisher's face without mood swings, the heat of irritability and anxiety continued to roll in his chest, but he couldn't suppress it after all, and couldn't help but sit up straight, "Swallow your breath? You mean, I can only accept it now? Can't I fight back?"

“…… I mean, uh, I mean, I can't team up with Chris-Morgan or Hiram-Garcia? I can even team up with Neil Moretz, you know, I can sacrifice some of my leverage in exchange for control within the set, and I retain the final say on the script, and I have the right to make recommendations on casting. ”

"Or maybe I can't co-produce the ...... Uh, Amanda-Cohen, yes, that's the Amanda, she's always had a bad word for Neil, she's been in a head-on confrontation with Neil on set, she's not scared of Neil at all, is she? We can join forces and fight for more power and take control of the crew, isn't that going to work?"

"Not again, not again...... Don't we have a project in hand that is negotiating with Sony, Disney, and Paramount? Have you forgotten? What is the name of that film company from China? What is it called? Is it the company that is going to invest in the 'Last Wizard Hunter', and we can also unite with them and let them stand on our side and fight against Lan Li! Isn't that how Lan Li dealt with me before? I can also fight back, right?"

"Those film investment companies from China, all of them have a lot of money, and they only need a little bit of gold from their fingers, and that's enough, and we can gain a foothold in Hollywood, and we can also open up overseas markets, right? It's a gold rush, and you've probably heard the rumors, right? There's a casual appearance fee of millions of dollars, and it doesn't take any effort at all, and then you can leverage the capital of Wall Street, and we have our own strength to contend with it, huh?"

Diesel is a little crazy.

Fisher didn't open his mouth to refute, just looked at Diesel quietly, waiting for him to pour out all his whims, and then watched the face regain its excitement, and even faintly distorted, as if it had trampled Lan Li under his feet.

"Fisher, what's going on? What about my thoughts? You can add to my ideas, I'm sure you can come up with a more complete counterattack plan, and we still have a chance, right? We can still get Universal Pictures to change our minds, and we can still regain control of the crew, right?" Diesel looked at Fisher with round eyes and foaming at the mouth, and pressed one sentence after another, almost madness.

But Diesel didn't get a response from Fisher, and gradually, gradually, gradually, he began to get nervous, and that fear grasped the heart again, tightening little by little, and then the whole heart curled up, and it was almost impossible to breathe, "Why not? You tell me why it doesn't work? If my plan doesn't work, then you tell me what to do? Ah! Tell me! Aren't you boasting about Haikou? Isn't the International Innovation Management Corporation not afraid of that guy at all? So what the hell is going on now? You speak! ”

Fisher still sat at the back of his desk, staring at Diesel with a cold gaze as if he were looking at a corpse.

With such a look, Diesel inexplicably recalled Andy Rogers, when he was filming "Fast and Furious/Emotional 5", he caused an accident and caused Lan Li to be slightly injured in the fight, and then Andy appeared in front of him and said cold and piercing words with that smiling face:

"Believe it or not, I can directly make you ruined and end your career as an actor. And Christian Wagner didn't dare to say a word?"

As it turned out, Andy was right. Christian Wagner didn't dare to say a word, and now Fisher Morgan didn't dare to say a word.

Diesel was stunned again.

"Let me tell you what happens next. Fisher's tone remained calm, "First, in the 'Fast & Thrill' crew, you can work with other producers, but do you think Dwayne Johnson and Michelle Rodriguez will all sit still? And do you think Neil Moretz and Amanda Cohen will choose you or Lanli?"

Diesel or Blue Gift?

This is a math problem, not a difficult math problem, and it is precisely the biggest gap between Diesel and Lan Li -

When Diesel was still trapped in his own world and cared about his immediate interests, Lan Li had raised the entire battlefield to a new level and faintly became a gambler, and now the two were no longer on the same level at all, and Diesel had lost the biggest capital to compete with.

After Paul's departure, the crew of "Fast & Thrill" has completely become a open situation, and Lan Li's push and Ron Meyer's concerns can be said to be a perfect hit, leaving no chance for Diesel to fight back. Fisher clearly understood this, so it was the wisest choice for Diesel to choose to leave the crew, which would have cornered Universal Pictures, but Diesel was not so bold, so things went back to square one.

"Second, working with other studios to create a way out is the right idea, but it won't help you ease the dilemma of being in the Fast & Thrill set, it's about reopening your career, and even if you leave the role of Dominic Toledo, you still won't be without a job. One thing you have to realize is that you're not the only one for Sony, Disney and Paramount, but for you, they're your lifesaver. ”

As an agent, Fisher is more desperate than anyone to find a solution, because his commission is directly linked to Diesel's income, and he is the one who wants Diesel to continue his strong streak the most.

But in the same way, as a broker, Fisher must calmly judge the situation, stop losses in time, make the right trade-offs, and then find a better way out, absolutely not hang himself from a tree, and continuing his career is the most important task.

Looking at Diesel who refused to wake up, Fisher was revealing the truth of the matter step by step, and he had to make Diesel wake up quickly, otherwise things would only get more and more tricky, which was not what Fisher wanted to see.

"Fan, what you need to worry about now is whether Lan Li will be able to cover the sky with one hand and influence the decisions of other studios, and what we can now determine is that if Lan Li speaks, then Disney and Sony will probably consider his suggestion...... Calm down!" Seeing that Diesel was about to explode, Fisher said repeatedly, "Of course, they can't be at the mercy of Lan Li, and we can't be caught, but the problem is that things will get more tricky, and finally enter the link of exchange of interests, and our chips are not as rich as Lan Lily." ”

"How did he ...... How dare he! Why should he kill them all!" Diesel stammered, the cruel truth had completely shut down his brain, and then, Lan Li's words in the hospital echoed in his mind again: I want to make your life worse than death. All voices were choked off deep in the throat.

Fisher knew that his goal had been achieved, "So, we must hurry up now, adjust our mentality and position in time, and take the initiative! Believe me, Lan Li is not God, he can't take care of everything, we still have a chance!"

"I need you to pick yourself up, get back to the Fast & Thrill crew, and maintain the relationship – at least maintain the harmony on the surface, especially Paul, at this stage, no one wants to be an enemy of Paul, you understand? ”

"At the same time, I'm going to negotiate with Universal Pictures to get as much power and interest as possible for you, and you have an advantage that no one else has: Dominic Toledo is the biggest sign of the series, Universal Pictures won't do anything out of it, they want to make money. And as long as you show your persistence, we still have a chance to win. ”

"In addition, we need to speed up cooperation negotiations with several other projects, and if necessary, we can even sacrifice some interests in exchange for cooperation opportunities. The point is that we need to open up the situation and get more performance opportunities for you outside of the Fast & Thrill program, so that we can straighten our backs and change the situation." ”

For the sake of long-term interests, short-term interests can be sacrificed, and he still hopes that Diesel's career can continue - even if "Fast and Furious 8" temporarily loses territory, he can regain his advantage in the ninth or even tenth part in the future, which is the right choice.

Diesel still couldn't come back to his senses, "That'...... So let's just throw in the towel?" His thoughts were still stuck on the seventh and eighth parts, and his vision was still not long-term after all.

Facing Diesel's blank eyes, Fisher had no patience to continue explaining, "Yes. He gave the answer crisply.

"There's another way. Fisher's words made Diesel's eyes light up again, "You can pray, pray that Lan Li's career will have a waterloo, or even a total collapse, and then he will be too busy to take care of himself, and naturally he will not have the time and energy to continue to attack you, and besides, Universal Pictures will no longer be on his side, then, things will soon turn around." By the way, there was a chance recently, you can pray and pray, 'Interstellar' is ready to be released soon, and if the box office collapses, maybe we can find an opportunity." ”

Fisher was joking, but Diesel was taking it seriously: if the box office of "Interstellar" really collapsed, then could he turn the situation around?
