Two days later, Paul Walker returned to the crew of "Fast and Furious 6" and continued to participate in the filming, he himself was not injured, but the crash still had a certain negative impact, and several driving shots were filmed, and it was obvious that the accident brought a lot of mental pressure.

This film will be released next summer, and the filming time is quite tight, Paul Walker took the initiative to suggest, Justin Lin appropriately modified the shooting plan, cut the close-up shots of Paul Walker's character Brian at this stage, and focused more on panoramic shooting and long-range shooting.

The accident that happened to Paul Walker did not have much impact on the crew.

However, several other main actors in the crew also thought that it was better to drive at an appropriate speed when talking about drag racing.

Even Gal Gadot, who likes to ride around on motorcycles, has restrained a lot.

Speeding is such a ridiculous word for the characters in "Fast and Furious", but real life is so cruel.

It's understandable that Hollywood stars love thrills, and Matthew is no exception, but when you have money, you want to enjoy it, and if you want to enjoy it, you must first have a life to enjoy it.

After death, if you are rich and famous, what can you do?

Uncle Bill, who played the game and played himself to death, is said to have photos leaked after his death, tied naked to the coroner's table, and his body was dissected, how miserable.

The thunder man who died is also thunder after his death.

The scenery of Hollywood stars can only last for a while. In its heyday, it was sought after by tens of thousands of people, and after it was outdated, no one even cared about the posthumous photos.

Of course, Hollywood stars have always been veteran residents of the Death Star.

Raven Phoenix died of a drug overdose, and his death was worth a little, in addition to creating a hype for the media, he also indirectly saved his two friends, Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves, so that these two completely understood the dangers of cocaine and woke up.

Whitney Houston, who died in a bathtub earlier this year, has been plagued by scandals of drug use, drug addiction and huge debts since the mid-nineties.

When he was young, Matthew McConaughey was also a death expert, he was addicted to drugs, and he directly called the police to say that someone was taking drugs, and then the police came to check, knocked on the door and found Matthew McConaughey, naked behind the door, playing drums and twisting his body and dancing with his good friends, and was finally sentenced to a year, although he was later successfully released on bail, but paid a large fine.

Shia LaBeouf is even more famous as the little prince of death, everyone knows that his brain circuits have always been different from ordinary people, when he participated in the Berlin Film Festival, he put a paper bag with "I'm no longer a celebrity" on his head and walked the red carpet, returned to Los Angeles and engaged in performance art, wearing his paper bag and sitting silently, begging visitors to do whatever they wanted with him, someone came to sit silently with him, someone came to whip him, and a crazy female fan came to run to bang with him.

As a well-known "psychopath", maybe he is really happy in his own world.

Matthew doesn't want such a happy actor in his crew, he can be happy when he leaves the crew, and he has to work dutifully in the crew, because he pays enough.

Of course, in the eyes of others, Matthew may also be such a neurotic, after all, he has been on too many female stars and female supermodels.

Perhaps someone has already quietly pressed titles such as "sex addiction" on his head.

However, Matthew has lived a very stable life in the past two months, and when there is a need, he goes to Margot Robbie, just like a normal couple.

How long this kind of life can last, he doesn't know, and he hasn't thought about it deeply, it's better to only look at the immediate situation, and it's useless to think too far.

In his spare time for filming, Matthew also took Margot Robbie to the small hangar that was used as a warehouse to see, after the former RAF airport was abandoned, many crews used as a base for filming, but the hangar has not changed much, and it is used as a warehouse.

This is one of the few buildings in the airport that has not been changed much.

After filming at the airport, the crew returned to Pinewood Studios, and the footage of the tank was ready.

Due to the inability to shoot in London and the time constraints, some of the shots of the tank battle had to be shot on a green screen, and then composited in post-production before being completed.

This is not very difficult for the existing technology in Hollywood.

Having said that, "Fast and Furious 6" is the same as Matthew's past films, it is also unbearable, action, beauty, and suspense are all stuffed into the film, and it is also necessary to warmly promote the warm concept of family first, because this is the appetite of mainstream audiences, and the audience enjoys a warm touch after experiencing visual bombardment, which is like a storm and a burst of cannons.

That's when the service is in place.

Matthew has long summed up the most common law of commercial films, and it is necessary to spray out what most audiences want to watch and love to watch with the greatest and fastest firepower.

As for the opinion of a small group of cold audiences, it is completely negligible, because as long as it is a commercial film, no matter what you choose, they will not be satisfied, and there are 10,000 reasons why it is a bad movie.

The fire of the artillery and the roar of the motors are the themes that will never change during the shooting.

Correspondingly, the various expenses of the crew also made a large amount of money flow.

"Is $180 million enough?" said David Ellison, looking at a fireball on a platform in the open-air area of Pinewood Studios, and asked Matthew, "Do you need additional investment?"

In the past few years, he and Matthew have made a lot of profits on the "Fast and Furious" series, and they don't mind increasing their investment in this one.

Matthew lifted his sunglasses and said, "Don't forget, we have a lot of advertising sponsors, and we have enough budget. ”

With the super sales of the first two films, more manufacturers are willing to cooperate with the crew, and all kinds of vehicles used by the crew from filming to daily travel are all from free sponsorship, and the amount of various advertising sponsorships is close to 50 million US dollars.

This also solves the problem of large investment of the crew and reduces the risk of investment.

Once the brand effect is established, the large investment in large films will also bring a large amount of revenue.

"Is Part 7 about increasing investment?" asked David Ellison.

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "If this one continues to be successful, we can attract more advertisers and raise the advertising price, and I estimate that the budget of 200 million dollars is enough." ”

David Ellison nodded lightly and added, "I'll set aside the funds in advance." He asked, "Are we really going to pause the series?"

"Yes, it's good for long-term profitability. Matthew further said, "The release of four films in a row will inevitably trigger aesthetic fatigue after a peak, which is unavoidable, so a pause of a few years can not only avoid aesthetic fatigue, but also bring a certain emotional effect." ”

"Makes sense. David Ellison couldn't agree more.

Matthew continued, "Another point is that there are too many main actors in this film, and they have been paid to a very high level for successive sequels. ”

David Ellison knows this, "Paul Walker alone, the salary for the seventh part will be 15 million US dollars, and the salary expenses including the director and actors will total more than 80 million US dollars!"

"Therefore, waiting for a few years can effectively reduce the cost of remuneration. Matthew said slowly, "Most of the actors in this racing team, except for the "Fast and Furious" series, have mediocre performances in other films, and if the development does not go well in the future, it is inevitable that the salary will be reduced." ”

David Ellison sincerely admired, "It's still that you think it all." ”

Matthew smiled, "Isn't our investment just about maximizing profits?"

In terms of investment affairs, business is business, and the first consideration must be profit, and the rest should be in the back row.

"You're absolutely right. David Ellison, as always, believes in Matthew, "We will make more money with this series in the future." ”

With that, both of them laughed.

Looking at the set in the distance, Matthew and David Ellison looked like they were behind it.

As an actor, Matthew and the cast and crew are working partners, but as one of the two major investors, they are naturally opposite to the relationship of hiring and being employed.

How to handle the degree, Matthew can be regarded as quite experienced.

You can't just because Paul Walker is friends with him, he will give Paul Walker a salary of 20 million US dollars at once, and then give him a dividend after the film is a big hit, right?

It's not that friendship lasts forever, it's a head show.

There are so many people in the crew, so many mouths, people's hearts will never be satisfied, what to fill these people's mouths will inevitably open open?

Matthew looked around and saw no one nearby, and asked in a low voice, "How's our plan going?"

"Basically smooth. David Ellison knew what Matthew was talking about, "I reached out to multiple business media outlets who were very interested in the big news I was talking about. ”

Matthew cautioned, "Don't reveal the content in advance to avoid leaking the news." ”

David Ellison nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do." ”

Matthew didn't say much, saw the set not far away stop temporarily, immediately looked at his watch, and said, "I'm going to shoot, I'll talk about dinner when I have something." ”

David Ellison stayed here in London until Thanksgiving, and when he left the UK, Matthew took Margot Robbie with him and temporarily removed from the cast and returned to Los Angeles with him.

Just like last year, just as Thanksgiving is approaching, a new "Twilight Zone" will be released again.

This time it's even more sensational, as the series comes to an end.
