In a meeting room on the top floor of Universal's office building, the agreement had been signed, and the lawyers, notaries and representatives of the Producers Alliance were the first to leave, and Matthew and David Ellison went to the office of Universal's film production director, Hall Fina, and talked about other topics for a while before leaving.

The two sides of the previous negotiations were at loggerheads, but now that the agreement has been signed, rapprochement has returned to the surface.

"It's not easy. ”

Walking down the long hallway towards the elevator, David Ellison sighed, "I finally got it." ”

Matthew nodded, "Although there was a bit of an accident, fortunately we still achieved our goal." ”

Vin Diesel's sudden appearance has caused some trouble, and it has cost Matthew and David Ellison more energy, and possibly more.

Originally, before Vin Diesel appeared, Skydance Pictures had already taken a little initiative, but as Vin Diesel wanted to return to make a sequel to the "Fast and Furious" series, especially after it was revealed that he was the one hiding behind the scenes, Universal Pictures became cautious.

At that time, he knew that he could not delay for a long time, and that more changes might occur if it dragged on, so he simply went into battle with David Ellison and the bald CEO of Skydance Pictures, and had two rounds of secret talks with Hall Fina of Universal Pictures, and finally reached an agreement.

The agreement does not cover the existing rights to the Spartan 300 and the Fast and Furious trilogy in the hands of Universal Pictures, and the main content of the agreement is not complicated, with Sky Dancing Pictures trading the sequel rights to the "Spartan 300 Warriors" for the sequel rights to Universal Pictures' "Fast and Furious" series, while Sky Dance Pictures pays an additional $15 million.

After the deal is reached, the sequels of these two series will no longer have a direct connection with the original company.

Sky Dance Pictures has communicated with Frank Miller in advance, and for Frank Milan, it is more reassuring that the sequel purchase rights will be transferred to Universal Pictures.

As for whether he will later ask for more than $15 million in rights fees in negotiations with Universal Pictures, it is none of Matthew and David Ellison's business.

Having gotten the rights to the "Fast and Furious" series as he wished, Matthew was in a good mood, and when he passed by the lounge, he deliberately looked inside, the door of the lounge was open, but there was no one inside, and Vin Diesel seemed to have left.

Vin Diesel did submit a proposal to Universal Pictures, and without him and David Ellison, Universal might have been tempted to hand over the series to Vin Diesel to run.

But the copyright of the sequel to "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" hangs here, and during the negotiations, he specifically said that after Vin Diesel "Extreme Agent", none of the films have really sold at the box office......

Universal Pictures outright rejected Vin Diesel's agent.

To put it bluntly, Vin Diesel overestimated himself too much, thinking that he was the male protagonist of the first part of the "Fast and Furious" series, and as long as he wanted to return to this series, he would definitely be able to achieve his wish.

For someone like him, who is the best in the world, it is normal to have this kind of thought.

"That guy isn't there. David Ellison has no regrets, "I'd like to talk to him." ”

Matthew turned into the elevator room and deliberately joked, "Watch out for him beating you." ”

"Isn't that you?" David Ellison saw the elevator door open, walked in first, waited for Matthew to follow, and said, "Didn't you beat Vin Diesel before?

Matthew smiled and said, "I'll watch him beat you into a pig's head." ”

He didn't know how Vin Diesel returned to the "Fast and Furious" series, but now it is impossible, without this series, Vin Diesel is an ordinary starlet.

Why did he go to such lengths to grab this series, in addition to the future prospects, but also Vin Diesel.

Of course, maybe he can find other opportunities......

Matthew knows very well that there is such a possibility, is there any way to further reduce Vin Diesel's chances in the future? An actor like Vin Diesel can only take the typical action route, as long as the action route does not work, there is basically no chance to stand out again.

For a while, he couldn't think of any good way.

The elevator door opened, and Matthew and David Ellison stepped out of the elevator one after another, and as soon as they turned into the lobby on the first floor, they saw a bright bald head.

Vin Diesel also saw Matthew and David Ellison, but before he could speak, David Ellison came in a mocking voice, "Hey, idiot, you're not the boss of the Fast & Furious franchise right now." ”

Matthew looked at Vin Diesel and shook his head.

Vin Diesel got up from the chair he was sitting in, with no expression on his face, and walked towards Matthew and David Ellison step by step.

"Rubbish!" David Ellison has been watching Vin Diesel 10,000 unhappy since the night of the Victoria's Secret show, "Idiot!"

Seeing Vin Diesel getting closer and closer, Matthew stepped forward slightly and blocked David Ellison, if Vin Diesel made a move, with David Ellison's small body, I am afraid he would not be able to bear it.

"You two despicable and shameless villains!" Vin Diesel saw Matthew and unconsciously stopped, standing six feet away, "You two will only make trouble behind your back!

David Ellison was amazed, "It turns out that we are the only ones behind the troublemaker......"

"Vin Diesel, or whatever. Matthew knew that Vin Diesel was not his original name, "You think you can beat us in head-to-head competition? ”

Without waiting for Vin Diesel to respond, he added, "Do you need me to remind you? Since 'Extreme Agent,' you have a work that you can handle? Is any studio willing to pay you more than $5 million? Do you want to compete ......with me?"

Matthew suddenly accentuated, "What are you comparing to me?"

This kind of face-to-face taunt is very low-level, but it is suitable for dealing with an overly arrogant low-level person like Vin Diesel, and Matthew would never use this method if he is like Spike Lee.

"You ......" Vin Diesel was about to say something, but Matthew preemptively said, "What am I? I am now starring in any movie, the salary starts from $20 million, and the movies I starred in have a total box office of more than $3 billion now, what qualifications do you have to compare with me?"

As soon as this string of words came out, Vin Diesel's face became even more ugly.

Matthew didn't stop, trying to see if he could provoke Vin Diesel to make a move, "You're a Loser, a complete loser, trying to fight with me, are you qualified?"

Vin Diesel clenched his hands into fists, the muscles in his arms bulged high, and the skin on his face, which was originally dark, turned red, like a pig trying to arch people.

Because the bulging muscles of his arms can't hide his lower abdomen and a high belly.

"Want to do it?" David Ellison suddenly interjected, "Come on!"

As soon as these words came out, Vin Diesel suddenly sobered up a little and looked forward, five or six years ago, Matthew Horner knocked him down with a punch in his best physical condition, and he lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up......

Now, he doesn't know how long he hasn't worked out, on the other hand, Matthew Horner is more fit than he was five or six years ago, and he has seen from the newspaper media that Matthew Horner not only works out all year round, but also has been training professionally in martial arts.

He believes that Matthew Horner can easily knock him down as long as he makes his own move.

People like him who are addicted to tobacco and alcohol......

"Okay!" Vin Diesel turned around and left, he stayed to tell Matthew Horner that now is just the beginning!

"That's it......" David Ellison was a little disappointed.

Matthew turned to look at David Ellison and said, "David, you shouldn't have spoken. ”

David Ellison wondered, "Why?"

Matthew walked forward and said, "Your words alerted Vin Diesel to his outburst, and I had hoped he would have taken the initiative. ”

The two went out of the office building together, and the car had stopped in front of the building, but Vin Diesel was nowhere to be seen.

After getting into the car, David Ellison gestured, "Why don't I find someone to clean him up?" ”

Matthew shook his head, "If you do this, you will only make Hollywood ostracize you." ”

David Ellison thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and then asked, "That's it." ”

Matthew first asked the driver to go to Burbank, and then said to David Ellison, "Didn't Vin Diesel say that this is not the end? ”

"What's the pit?" David Ellison has always been interested in Matthew pitting Spike Lee.

Matthew spread his hands and said, "I didn't think of it yet. You can also think about it, think about it, let's plan together. He held out a finger and shook it, reminding, "Don't think about the idea of humane destruction." ”

The most appropriate way is to do the same as he did with Spike Lee, which can not only deal a serious blow to Vin Diesel, but also improve his reputation.

David Ellison couldn't think of a good idea for a while, so he had to wait for his chance.

The two of them got out of Universal Studios in a Mercedes and headed north toward Burbank.

Near the gate of Universal Studios, Vin Diesel sat in his Dodge and watched the Mercedes go farther and farther before disappearing before starting the car and returning to his residence.

Today, he came and went home with excitement and defeat, and the anger in his heart was overflowing.

He lost the battle for the Fast and Furious franchise, and he still lost the head-to-head ridicule......

Vin Diesel's confidence that he was the best in the world was somewhat affected, but he would not be reconciled, and immediately turned on his computer when he returned home, logged on to Facebook, which was open to the whole United States last September, and wrote an accusation against Matthew.

He first found a public photo of Matthew from the Internet, uploaded it to Facebook, and then wrote, "Some people don't dare to do things in person, they will only make small moves from behind, very weak chickens, they are simply cowards, cowards and wretched, do you dare to stand up and face off like a man?"

After posting this angry text, Vin Diesel felt a lot better, which is also for the hype, and he is still competing for another actor called "Deadly Driver", which needs exposure.
