Sitting on the side of the conference table, Justin Lin looked at the four people opposite him. For the sake of this director's position, he not only carefully studied the success or failure of the script and series trilogy, found the success of the first part of "Fast and Furious" and the failure of "Tokyo Drift", but also specifically understood the power structure of the project and the characteristics of the decision-makers. He knew that the fourth part in the planning, from push to decision-making, was the one who really played a decisive role.

This is also one of the reasons why he is keeping a close eye on this project. He feels that having the experience and lessons of the failure of "Tokyo Drift" and directing a new work on the same theme can avoid many risks. However, Matthew Horner chose this series, which fully proves that the "Fast and Furious" series has definitely still great potential to be tapped.

Who doesn’t know that all the works Matthew Horner likes have succeeded without exception? In the past, he was just a starring actor, and now he has invested tens of millions of dollars in direct investment. He must be more confident and did this.

Since I got the news, since I met Matthew Horner and David Ellison for the first time, Justin Lin has been preparing to become the director of the new "Fast and Furious" film, and it is the best to prepare.

"I know, I messed up "Tokyo Drift"..." Justin Lin said sincerely in the face of four people including Matthew and Jack, including bearded. "Fast and Furious is the first one in the series, and then one is worse than the other. The previous "Tokyo Drift" lost both reputation and box office."

Matthew crossed his hands on the conference table and looked at Justin Lin opposite him. Not to mention other aspects, a director who dared to admit his failure could regain success.

If even recognized failures are considered successful, such directors can only live in their own world and are not suitable for filming mass-produced commercial films.

Justin Lin continued, “After the release of "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift", I heard all the criticisms. I am happy to accept these criticisms. For me who made this type of movie for the first time…”

He paused for a while and said slowly, "This time I think the story should be related to the previous one, and the audience should also be interested in where the protagonists in the previous two episodes go. Therefore, the story of the fourth part of "Fast and Furious" will be followed by the second part, and the story will also develop based on the character relationships set by the previous two parts. I believe that previous movie fans will feel very close."

Jack, the bearded man suddenly interrupted, "You should have read the script, right? We are going to let Dominic Toreto die."

"This is absolutely OK! I have thought about what to do, and I have also gone to the DVD rental store to ask many fans of this series of movies. "Justin Lin obviously made a lot of preparations. "Dominic Toreto only appeared in the first part. It has been six or seven years since then, and the audience has long ignored him. In contrast, Brian O'Connor left a deeper impression on the audience. The audience actually doesn't care whether Dominic Toreto really returns. They are more concerned about seeing more exciting racing and more popular action scenes."

He smiled and said, "So, for this movie, I set only two goals: faster and stronger. At the beginning of the planning of this movie, the first thing we need to prepare is how to make the racing scenes more speedy and more thrilling. Therefore, we need to design various racing scenes and test the feasibility of shooting again and again... In addition, I want to make a summary of the previous story in this movie, and the audience also need an answer."

Matthew kept looking at Justin Lin, thinking that what this guy said seemed to be quite reliable.

"We explain to the audience the fate of Toreto to lead to a new character, and that's the answer." Justin Lin is quite clear-headed, "The return of Paul Walker and Jordanna Brewster is enough to remind existing fans that this is the "Fast and Furious" series."

He suddenly became particularly serious and said solemnly, "I think I have found the direction of this series. The actors must be strong and sparks, the plot must be full and solid, the scenes must be vigorous and exciting, and commercial films will not be ugly in these three points, and the box office will not be bad. We must add more creaking of metal and broken glass based on the reasonable narrative, more noise, more roar of engines, more action scenes, and more sexy chicks in tight mini skirts. Fast! Passion! is the best theme in this series..."

Speaking of this, he showed a slightly self-deprecating smile, "I only realized these problems by screwing up a movie called "Tokyo Drift."

Jack, the bearded man nodded slightly, obviously thinking that what Justin Lin said makes sense.

David Ellison looked at Matthew, but Matthew remained silent. These were really touching and reminded him of the films that had been successful later in the series. Unfortunately, the director of this series was not as weird as the Wachowski brothers, and he had no impression of the director's name.

Saying and doing are always different things, and saying it well may not necessarily do well.

Justin Lin opened the briefcase he carried with him, took out a thick stack of documents from it, placed it on the conference table, and pushed it to Jack, the bearded man.

This stack of documents is five or six times thicker than the video script.

Justin Lin said, "This is the plan I have prepared, including investigations on movie fans, conceptions of speed scenes and designs of emotional relationships of characters, etc., which I have personally made in the past few months."

Jack, the bearded man took the stack of documents, opened it and looked at it, then exchanged glances with Matthew and David Ellison, and then said to Justin Lin, "Justin, let's go here first today. I will read your plan carefully and will notify you of the results as soon as possible."

"Okay." Justin Lin stood up, "I hope we have a chance to cooperate."

Under the leadership of the staff, he slowly walked out of the conference room door.

In the conference room, David Ellison said first, "He said it very well. Among all the directors we have seen, his philosophy is the closest to us."

Matthew nodded slightly, "Yes, if there were no failures in Tokyo Drift, he might be very suitable for this series."

"This is not a bad thing," Jack, the bearded man suddenly said, "Some directors can summarize the lessons learned from previous failures and make appropriate adjustments. Judging from the situation just now, Justin Lin should be such a person."

Helen Herman interrupted, "I'll get in touch with him again."

Matthew understood what this meant, "You want to dig him into the Angels Agency?"

Helen Hermann did not deny it and nodded slightly, "We have met many directors, and Justin Lin is the only one who has made full preparations."

David Ellison still has doubts, "But "Tokyo Drift"..."

This is an unavoidable problem. It is precisely because of "Tokyo Drift" that Universal Pictures terminated the "Fast and Furious" series.

Matthew frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Let's do it, let's study Justin Lin's plan first." He looked at Helen Herman, "You have to contact him more times."

He then said to Jack, the bearded man, "Jack, you're giving him a full range of assessments."

"David." Matthew finally said to David Ellison, "How about we temporarily list him as the first candidate?"

"If you think it's OK, he can." David Ellison was particularly confident in Matthew. "You make an idea about this."

The meeting ended here. Although the director candidate was not finalized, there was a real candidate goal. However, Matthew started cautiously and had to conduct a more comprehensive assessment of Justin Lin.

This is related to his investment of tens of millions of dollars. If he is not careful, he will wait to lose money.

It’s a loss, not to mention the person who finally managed to accumulate some wealth, even a truly super rich second-generation like David Ellison, wouldn’t want to happen.

Helen Hermann left Sky Dance Pictures first and probably would have contact with Justin Lin soon.

Jack, the bearded man, found someone to copy Justin Lin's plan, and prepared to give Matthew and David Ellison each.

Matthew did not leave. On the one hand, he was waiting for a copy of the bearded Jack. On the other hand, he wanted to talk to David Ellison about something.

The two of them went to David Ellison's office. After muttering, David Ellison was so excited that his eyebrows flew into the sky.

"You must come to me for such a thing! If you forget me for such a fun thing, I will be anxious with you!" David Ellison was ready to go. "Matthew, now there are fewer and fewer things that can make me feel exciting. It's fun to think about it."

Matthew gestured to David Ellison, "Don't spread this matter, it will be useless if it is spread."

David Ellison smiled, "Don't worry, we dug a small one in front, and then we dug a big one together." He suddenly frowned, "Are you sure that the project will not succeed? If the other party makes a profit with this project, we will be a joke."

"I'm 80% sure." Matthew deliberately put on a confident look and made a random reason. "I've talked with Andrew Stanton many times. He is an excellent animated film master. He wants to use the set of animated films to make live-action movies. These are two completely different types!"

Because of the super success of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", David Ellison trusted Matthew very much, "I understand, just like last time, I will cooperate with you."
