Chapter 828: $300 million

In the studio, the main actors gathered next to Justin Lin. Justin Lin said while gesturing, "Note that this scene is centered on Matthew and Paul. You must listen carefully to Matthew and Paul, but also show your personality."

Matthew stood by the repair desk and listened carefully to Justin Lin's play.

I have just filmed many scenes that have been split up, and now everyone is gathering together again.

Including him, most of the actors in the crew are quite satisfied with Justin Lin's scene design. To be precise, the success of "Fast and Furious 4" also proves Justin Lin's philosophy and ability.

For a director, it is very important to move forward with successful experience

"Fast and Furious 5" continues the style of the previous movie. 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 upend Rio de Janeiro in the film.

Justin Lin finished the show and the filming began soon.

Everyone gathered next to the repair table, and the two cameras pointed at the two groups of people from the cameras that did not interfere with each other.

The role of the character can be seen from the position, with Matthew and Paul Walker standing together, while the others standing opposite them in a semi-arc shape.

"Do you all know each other now?" Matthew's eyes swept across their faces one by one. "Next we'll form a team."

Even superheroes have started to form teams, so of course the racing family cannot fall behind.

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

She opened her arms and hugged Matthew tightly.

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

Then, Gal Gadot stood beside Matthew with his arm, just like Jordanna Brewster and Paul Walker.

Everyone's position also changed, basically turning into a circle.

"Shawn, why are you trying to cross half of the earth for us?" Daniel Wu asked on his own initiative.

Matthew spoke slowly, "There is a big deal!"

Paul Walker responded, "Our target is Hernan Reyes." He walked to the repair desk and opened a document and showed it in front of everyone. "He never missed his hand because he never left no trace or written evidence."

Gal Gadot opened the information and asked, "That means that his money does not go through the bank, but is in the cash warehouse?"

"It's right." Paul Walker opened the map in the information and said, "There are ten vaults in total, scattered throughout the city!"

Nini asked, “How much is it?”

Matthew replied, “Three hundred million dollars!”

"Get rich!" Terry Gibson whistled.

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

"All of it?" asked Jordanna Brewster.

Matthew nodded, "All!"

"It's so crazy." Gal Gadot interrupted at this time, looking at Matthew and said, "I thought you were in danger!"

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

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

"Stop!" Justin Lin shouted, "This one has passed."

He looked at his watch and said, "Stay for half an hour and make a transition to shoot."

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

For him, as a director, in addition to filming according to the plan, balancing the roles between actors is also a very important job. It not only highlights the status of Matthew and Paul Walker as absolute protagonists, but also cannot make the rest of the racing family become a flash of soy sauce.

If it becomes a soy sauce crowd, adding these characters will become meaningless.

This is not an easy job.

It's okay for Matthew and Paul Walker to say that no one will question the two absolute protagonists. Gal Gadot is one of the most popular characters in the previous movie, and it's natural to increase the role.

The roles of the remaining actors need to be balanced.

In such a film, multiple characters appear at the same time, regardless of the camera or the lines, he carefully designed it for a lot of brain cells.

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

Gal Gadot smoothed his hair, "There is such a developed transportation now, and it's the same wherever he lives."

Matthew nodded first, then said, "Last time I came back from across the Pacific Ocean, I kept waiting for your party, but there was no news when you returned to Israel."

"My parents have urgent matters." Gal Gadot seemed helpless, "I called me several times in a row."

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

"Okay." Matthew said directly, "Paul, Gadot, you can come to my house anytime."

Paul Walker was not polite at all, "I want to have a big meal, the best meal!" He was heartbroken, "This can make up for the damage I suffered in my heart!"

Gal Gadot first looked at Paul Walker, then looked at Matthew curiously, and asked tentatively, "What happened between you...?"

Matthew could understand the meaning behind this and quickly said, "No, absolutely not!"

"What do you think, Gadot." Paul Walker shook his head, "I'm talking about the supplementary clause in our contract."

He asked Gal Gadot, "You like motorcycles so much, but you can't compete with others. Isn't it uncomfortable?"

Gal Gadot knew what Paul Walker was talking about, thought about it, and said, "It's okay."

Paul Walker turned to Matthew and said, "I can't race or race in the past two years. I can only watch others play. It's so painful."

Matthew smiled and said, "Paul, we are not professional drivers."

He knew Paul Walker's passion for racing. In fact, it may not be possible to say how binding the supplementary clause of that contract is. The main reason is to remind Paul Walker and others that the crew will pay you a high salary, so you cannot be injured and delayed in cooperation with the crew.

"Hey..." Paul Walker let out a long sigh, "Matthew, it's hard for you to understand."

Matthew nodded slightly, "I can understand."

If it were someone else, even a partner of the crew, he wouldn't bother to care about such nostalgia. After all, he neither wanted to be a savior nor had any interest in the character of a saint. Moreover, one of the dead male protagonists, like Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight", could bring huge benefits.

In addition, this series can also change from a double protagonist to a single protagonist with him as the absolute center.

No matter from which perspective, it is most in his interest to repeat the past path.

But Paul Walker is friends with him.

He had not made a fortune back then, and was bullied by Vin Diesel in the crew of "Fast and Furious", and Paul Walker always stood on his side with a clear stand.

With this item alone, the additional terms of the contract are very necessary.

Once upon a time, Fast and Furious 7 used Paul Walker's death to do a lot of work. Even people like him who don't care much about the behind-the-scenes movies know that Paul Walker died in racing and car accidents.

That's why I deliberately added such a clause to the contract. In order not to treat it differently, the same clause was added to the contracts of all major actors.

Paul Walker has helped and supported him. He also hopes that this clause can remind Paul Walker at all times. After all, he cannot stare at someone every day. He hopes that this reminder can change Paul Walker's possible unfortunate future.

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

The half-hour break ended and the shooting began again. In recent days, director Justin Lin has filmed all the scenes in the workshop.

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

After a month of contact and negotiation, the crew reached an agreement with Victoria's Secret, which will appear in "Fast and Furious 5" as an advertising sponsor, but the advertising sponsorship fee is only a symbolic dollar.

As a reward, Victoria's Secret will mobilize all its contracted angels to participate in the crew's shooting in Rio de Janeiro. Justin Lin had made plans before, and a certain beach party scene was changed to a high-end beach show. The theme of the show was Victoria's Secret swimsuit series.

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

In addition, during the filming of the film, angel supermodels in swimsuits can only watch but not touch them.

Neither Matthew nor Justin Lin had any objection to this. The biggest purpose of their Victoria's Secret Angels was to create a gimmick of publicity and hype, and to give Angel supermodels limited shots, let alone make them larger-scale shots.

This is a commercial action movie from PG-3, not an art movie that takes off all the time and turns it out.

In short, the sexy beauties in swimsuits in the film can basically only watch but not touch them. Everything has to be graded for pg-3.

Now, the "Fast and Furious" series is already the most popular racing-themed movie in film history. "Fast and Furious" is enough to attract young audiences in all aspects, especially when the fifth part of this series has been completed and the people of the world are united and gathered together.

From an innovative perspective, this sequel is extremely conservative.

But in 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 gangsters and action elements into it, and the gun battle and blasting scenes are escalating.
