Chapter 828: Three hundred million dollars

In the studio, the main actors gathered around Justin Lin, and Justin Lin gestured and said, "Attention, this scene is centered on Matthew and Paul, you have to listen carefully to Matthew and Paul, but you also have to show your own personality." Fastest update"

Matthew stood at the repair table, listening carefully to Justin Lin's play.

I've just filmed a number of split scenes, and now everyone is together again.

Including him, most of the cast members are relatively satisfied with Justin Lin's scene design, to be precise, the success of "Fast and Furious 4" also proves Justin Lin's concept and ability.

It is very important for a director to follow the successful experience.

"Fast and Furious 5" continues the style of the previous film, the only difference is that the world view is further expanded, and the action scene design is more atmospheric.

To put it simply, they will turn Rio de Janeiro upside down in the film.

Justin Lin finished the scene and filming began quickly.

Everyone gathered around the repair table, and the two cameras were aimed at the two groups of people from the position that did not interfere with each other.

The weight of the characters in the film is evident from the standing, with Matthew and Paul Walker standing next to each other and the others standing across from them in a semi-arc.

"We all know each other now, right?" Matthew's gaze swept over their faces, "We're going to form a team next." ”

Even the superheroes are starting to form teams, and the racing family certainly can't afford to be left behind.

Gal Gadot suddenly took two steps forward, came to Matthew, and said, "When you asked me to come to Rio, I thought it was something more interesting than that." ”

She opened her arms and hugged Matthew tightly.

Matthew patted her on the back and said, "It's good to see you." ”

Then, Gal Gadot took Matthew's arm and stood next to him, just like Jordana Brewster and Paul Walker.

The position of the crowd has also changed, and it has basically become a circle.

"Sean, what are you tossing us halfway around the world for?" asked Daniel Wu on his own initiative.

Matthew spoke slowly, "There's a big deal!"

Paul Walker continued, "Our target is Hernan Reyes. He walked over to the repair table, opened a document, and displayed it to everyone, "He never missed, because he never left a trace, and he never left a written evidence." ”

Gal Gadot flipped through the information and asked, "Does that mean his money doesn't go through the bank, but in the cash vault?"

"That's right. Paul Walker flipped through the map in the data, "There are ten vaults in total, scattered all over the city!"

Nini asked, "How much money?"

Matthew replied, "Three hundred million dollars!"

"Rich!" Terry Gibson whistled.

Matthew's fist slammed into the repair table, "We're going to take all the money!"

"All of them?" asked Jordana Brewster.

Matthew nodded, "All!"

"It's crazy. Gal Gadot interjected, looked at Matthew and said, "I thought you were in danger!"

She frowned, "We can't rob ten ...... at the same time"

Matthew laughed, "That's right. So we need a plan. ”

"Stop!" shouted Justin Lin, "this one is over." ”

He looked at his watch, "Rest for half an hour, transfer shooting." ”

Justin Lin stood up from behind the director's monitor, moved his body, and then sat down again, planning the next scene.

For him as a director, in addition to shooting according to the plan, it is also very important to balance the roles between the actors, both to highlight Matthew and Paul Walker as the absolute protagonists, but not to turn the rest of the racing family into a flash of soy sauce.

If you become a soy sauce crowd, it becomes pointless to add these characters.

It's not an easy job.

Matthew and Paul Walker are okay to say that no one will question the two absolute protagonists, Gal Gadot is one of the most popular characters in the last film, and the increase in scenes is a matter of course.

The roles of the remaining actors have to be balanced.

In such a film, the scenes where multiple characters appear at the same time, whether it is the shots or the lines, are carefully designed by him with a lot of brain cells.

At the actor's rest, Matthew sat in a chair, took a sip of water, and asked Gal Gadot next to him, "Didn't you hear you say that you were going to move to Los Angeles last time?"

Gal Gadot smoothed his hair, "Now that transportation is so developed, it's the same wherever you live." ”

Matthew nodded first, then added, "Last time I came back from across the Pacific, I waited for your party, but there was no news of your return to Israel. ”

"My parents are in a hurry. Gal Gadot also seemed helpless, "called me several times in succession. ”

Paul Walker walked over, pulled out a chair, sat down on the other side of Matthew, and said, "Matthew, you should have a treat!"

"Okay. Matthew said directly, "Paul, Gadot, you can come to my house at any time. ”

Paul Walker was not polite at all, "I want a big meal, the best meal!" he cried out, "so that I can make up for the damage I have suffered in my heart!"

Gal Gadot looked at Paul Walker first, then at Matthew curiously, and asked tentatively, "Between you...... What's going on?"

Matthew understood the meaning behind these words, and quickly said, "No, absolutely not!"

"What do you want, Gadot. Paul Walker shook his head, "I'm talking about the addendum to the contract we signed. ”

He asked Gal Gadot, "Isn't it uncomfortable that you love motorcycles so much, but you can't race against people?"

Gal Gadot knew what Paul Walker was talking about, thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay. ”

Paul Walker turned to Matthew and said, "I couldn't drag racing, I couldn't race cars, I could only watch other people play for the past two years, it was too painful. ”

Matthew smiled and said, "Paul, we're not professional drivers. ”

He knows Paul Walker's enthusiasm for racing, in fact, the supplementary terms of the contract may not be very binding, mainly to remind Paul Walker and others that the crew pays you a high salary, and you can't just get injured and delay your cooperation with the crew.

"Hey......" Paul Walker let out a long exhale, "Matthew, you're having a hard time understanding. ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "I understand." ”

Someone else, even if it's a crew partner, he doesn't bother to bother with this kind of nosy, after all, he doesn't want to be a savior, and he has no interest in the character of a saint, and one of the dead male protagonists, just like Heath Ledger did in "The Dark Knight", can bring huge benefits.

In addition, the series can also go from a dual protagonist to a single protagonist with him as the absolute center.

In any way, it is in Paul Walker's best interest to repeat the path he used to take.

But Paul Walker is still friends with him.

At that time, he was not yet developed, and was bullied by Vin Diesel in the crew of "Fast and Furious 1", and Paul Walker always stood on his side.

This alone is the case with the need for additional clauses to the contract.

Once, "Fast and Furious 7" used Paul Walker's death to make enough articles, and even people like him, who didn't care much about the movie behind the scenes, knew that Paul Walker died in drag racing and car accidents.

Therefore, such a clause was deliberately added to the contract, and in order not to appear to be discriminatory, the same clause was also added to the contracts of all the main actors.

Paul Walker has helped him, supported him, and he also hopes that this clause will remind Paul Walker from time to time, after all, he can't stare at one person every day, and hope that this reminder will change Paul Walker's potentially unfortunate future.

Judging from the current situation, the effect is still very good, and most Hollywood actors are still very contractual.

After a half-hour break, filming began again, and in recent days, director Justin Lin has filmed all the scenes in the workshop.

At noon, Matthew had lunch with Justin Lin and Bearded Jack, and Bearded Jack brought good news.

After a month of contact and negotiations, the crew reached an agreement with Victoria's Secret that Victoria's Secret would appear as an advertising sponsor in Fast and Furious 5, but the advertising sponsorship cost was only a nominal $1.

As a reward, Victoria's Secret will mobilize all its signed angels to participate in the filming of the crew in Rio de Janeiro, Justin Lin has already made a plan, and a beach party scene has been changed to a high-end beach catwalk, and the theme of the catwalk is Victoria's Secret's swimsuit collection.

The crew does not need to pay extra fees to the Victoria's Secret Angels, but they are responsible for the normal expenses of the Angel Supermodels during the filming.

In addition, during the filming of the film, the angel supermodels in swimsuits can only be seen but not touched.

Matthew and Justin Lin have no opinion on this, the biggest purpose of their Victoria's Secret Angels is to create a gimmick of publicity and hype, giving the angel supermodel a limited number of shots, let alone some large-scale shots.

This is a commercial action movie of PG-13, not an art film that strips naked and dews at every turn.

In short, the sexy swimsuit beauties in the film are basically only visible and cannot be touched, and everything has to be graded for PG-13.

Today, the "Fast and Furious" series is already the highest-grossing racing movie in film history, and "Fast and Furious" is enough to attract young audiences in every way, especially when the series is in its fifth and the people of the world are united and gathered together.

From an innovative point of view, this sequel is extremely conservative.

But in terms of action scenes, it will be extremely open, in addition to maintaining the passionate and dynamic image style of handsome men and beautiful women, Justin Lin will integrate more police and action elements into it, and the shootout and explosion scenes will be escalated.

In Justin Lin's words, this film will definitely be a veritable "fast + furious", and the ** scene of the finale can soar the "drag racing scene to a new level".
