The first thousand three hundred and sixty-seven chapters
The barn swallows are sleeping at dawn, the peach blossoms are still early, and in the cold pavilion with green water, it is known that spring is coming--[Appreciating Willows in Early Spring]
A star's mental state determines his performance in a movie. It is undeniable that Vin Diesel is the perfect choice to star in Fast and Furious. It is difficult to find another suitable actor like this in Hollywood.
.
But this person's mental state is not very good now. He is in the state of getting drunk in a bar, and this state has lasted for two months. During these two months, Vin Diesel did
The most popular thing to do is to go to the bar and get drunk.
Ye Ming is also not sure what kind of mental state such a star will reach, and whether it is suitable for filming Fast and Furious.
As the director, Rob Cohen immediately said: "Ye, I don't know why you are so stubborn in thinking that Vin Diesel will be more suitable for this role, but I think that now that you see Vin Diesel's local information
, he is not very suitable for our role. And you have to understand, Universal's first road movie recently.
The loss was a complete mess. It is impossible for us to fail for the second time. If we fail this time, not only will Universal's stock price plummet, but major shareholders will not be willing to do so, and neither will ordinary investors.
Saw this situation.
And when that day comes, what is waiting for me is to go home directly after class. I will not be able to be a director for the rest of my life, or even enter the entertainment industry. I will have no choice but to go home and farm. As for you, you have
May lose an opportunity to gain a foothold in Hollywood as an actor.
This time you succeeded, everyone is happy, but if your first movie starring yourself fails, then you will have to work many times harder than this time if you want to gain a foothold on the Hollywood Walk of Fame."
It is impossible for Universal to fail this time. Failure is not allowed. Although it is said that investing in Universal is about five million, others do not look at your investment. Even if the money is invested by Ye Ming and Madoff, it is in the name of Universal.
Oh, so the box office success or failure of Fast and Furious actually hangs more on Universal's head.
The success or failure of this film will have a considerable impact on Ye Ming, Cohen, and Universal.
It's just that it won't have a big impact on Madoff, because he is not originally from the entertainment industry. If this movie fails at the box office, it is at most a failure of Madoff's investment. The investment of 20 to 30 million
Failure is not a big harm to a top rich man like Madoff.
Therefore, Rob Cohen believes that Ye Ming should be more careful and be careful not to mess up the movie.
Ye Ming hesitated and said: "I think Vin Diesel is indeed the most suitable person, but his current mental state does not seem to be very good. But there is an old saying in China that hearing is false and seeing is false.
For reality.
Like this, if you call Vin Diesel and tell him that I want to see him and ask him to come to the crew to audition, if he is still in that drunken state and is still so unwilling to make progress, then in a place like this
As for the question, I will consider replacing him, but if his acting skills are enough to support this movie, I don’t want my plan to be hindered, understand?”
Ye Ming gave himself a chance and also gave Vin Diesel a chance. No matter how you say it, the old fan has performed a classic of Fast and Furious.
In Vin Diesel's words, that would be a huge benefit to the entire movie.
Now Ye Ming just wants to see if Vin Diesel can seize this opportunity.
Robert Cohen also seemed helpless when it came to such a problem. After all, in such a situation, given the status of Director Ye Ming, it was impossible for him to reject such a suggestion from Ye Ming.
Therefore, I went directly to the Screen Actors Guild and found Vin Diesel's phone number. This is one of the members of the Screen Actors Guild, responsible for contacting actors and crew. Even actors in big companies are treated the same, but the difference is
Actors have different levels, and the services they receive from the Actors Guild are also different.
For example, if Vin Diesel has now begun to sink to the level of a fourth-tier actor, then people from the Screen Actors Guild will not take this issue to heart at all.
When Rob Cohen asked about Vin Diesel's phone number, the staff at the Screen Actors Guild were also surprised. Although Vin Diesel is not a famous actor, he was only a third-tier actor at his peak, and now he is even more degraded.
He has reached the fourth tier, but what made Vin Diesel famous is that he was blocked. He was blocked by Director Highmore, which is an important reason for him to be noticed.
People from the Screen Actors Guild will naturally pay more attention to this guy. But a person who has been banned like this actually said that a production crew is looking for him to act?
This made the staff feel very surprised, and the staff checked it very carefully and confirmed that Rob Cohen was looking for Vin Diesel to act. Only then did they give Vin Diesel's contact information to Rob Cohen.
.
Originally, in fact, people from the Actors Guild could do this kind of work, and this was also part of their job. But because Vin Diesel is just a third- and fourth-tier actor, would he be treated like this?
That's no big deal.
Therefore, at this time, the people from the Screen Actors Guild did not pay attention to Vin Diesel at all, and directly gave their contact information to Rob Cohen.
At the end of the day, the staff even told this incident to a female colleague as a joke.
As for this female colleague, she pays more attention to film-related matters. When she heard the news, she was stunned for a moment before starting to think about it? Rob Cohen, isn't this the director of Fast and Furious?
Does this mean Vin Diesel will star in this movie?
But wasn’t Vin Diesel blocked by Director Highmore? If the director of Fast and Furious asked Vin Diesel to act at this time, he would definitely offend Director Highmore. Isn’t Rob Cohen like this?
What a brave man.
Normally, a good old guy like Rob Cohen would not offend anyone casually. But in an incident like Vin Diesel, it seems that Rob Cohen's style is different from his previous one.
The style is different.
Is there news in this? The female colleague immediately realized that such a thing is not that simple, there must be news. If such a news is sold directly to the media, then she will get a lot of reward.
of.
This is actually one of the benefits of the staff of the Screen Actors Guild. They are relatively well-informed. As long as it does not involve privacy matters, they can sell this information to the media they are familiar with. In fact, this means that watching
Do you have an eye for discovering news?
Obviously, this female colleague has such a pair of eyes. She was able to find out that there was something wrong with Vin Diesel being selected by Rob Cohen's crew. This is not simple.
It can be said that there is no shortage of opportunities to make money in the entertainment industry, but what is lacking is the eye to spot opportunities. This kind of making money by taking advantage of one's career is the same in China, RB, South Korea, and even in the entertainment circles of Asan countries.
, as long as you pay attention carefully, you can always find opportunities to make money. Selling directly to the paparazzi is an extra income.
Therefore, at this time, Vin Diesel actually did not realize that he was being used to make money.
Now Vin Diesel finally said that he realized that something might be wrong. There is something wrong with this matter. There is really something wrong with it. What was Tommy doing? Was he going to the bathroom?
Does it take that long to go to the bathroom?
But when Vin Diesel wanted to go to the bathroom to find Tommy, a waiter immediately stopped him and said, "Mr. Vin Diesel, should you pay the bill first at this time?"
This waiter is indeed very capable. Although he looks the same as Vin Diesel and doesn't want to eat the Overlord meal, his tone is very polite and makes people more accepting.
Vin Diesel waved his hand and said: "I don't want to pay the bill yet. I just want to go to the bathroom to find my friend Tommy. He has been there for a long time. Don't let anything go wrong."
At this time, the waiter waved his hand, and a man who looked like a security guard came over immediately. The waiter lowered his head and said a few words. The security guard went directly to the bathroom to find someone. After coming out, the security guard shook his head and said, "Sorry, there is no one in the bathroom now."
No."
Vin Diesel is a good actor no matter what, and his mind is still very delicate. When he heard this, he immediately realized something. Tommy just left. Is he afraid that he would have to pay for it?
Can't pay the bills? Or does Tommy think that he will ask him to borrow money at this time?
This result made Vin Diesel feel very sad. He actually didn't have many friends, but Tommy was still a friend who had followed him until now. Speaking of which, his good friend, maybe Tommy was
One already.
But now it seems that Tommy actually doesn't regard him as a good friend at all. When he heard that he was about to go bankrupt, he left immediately. There is no loyalty at all. Yes, in Chinese terms, this guy has no loyalty at all.
A loyal guy.
At this time, the waiter also said very politely: "Mr. Vin Diesel, I think your friend may have something urgent and left without saying goodbye. If it's convenient for you, how about settling the bill?"
The waiters and security guards at this bar all know Vin Diesel. If it were someone else who went to the same bar almost every day for two months, it would be strange that the waiters and security guards at this price bar didn't know you.
No matter how you put it, when it comes to something like this, Vin Diesel is more or less an actor, and a third-tier actor is also an actor.
As for whether Vin Diesel is banned, this has nothing to do with the bar. As long as you have money, you can come and spend money. Therefore, they don’t care what Vin Diesel’s situation is, as long as he has money in his pocket.
Money does it.
This is also the reason why the waiter is so polite. Vin Diesel is an actor no matter what. Although he is a third- and fourth-tier actor, he still has to pay attention to his reputation. It is probably not bad to eat the Overlord meal.
from.
Sure enough, although Vin Diesel said he was very angry because of Tommy's betrayal, he still took out his wallet to pay the bill directly and ordered another beer.
This was his last cash. He originally wanted to use it to buy a dress and try his luck on a random crew, but now he might as well go to a bar.
As long as the money is paid, the bar has no reason to kick Vin Diesel out.
Anyway, as long as guests say they are not here to cause trouble, bars are generally very welcoming.
At this time, Vin Diesel's mood became not so good.
The failure of career and the betrayal of friends always make people feel sad for a while. Now Vin Diesel has the urge to cry without tears. He himself has forgotten how much he said.
He hadn't cried in years, but now he really wanted to cry.
However, I want to cry, but I can't cry no matter what. Without tears, Vin Diesel is almost at the end of his rope now, with his house, the inexplicable loans from the bank, and the ruthlessness of his friends.
The betrayal made him feel sad, but he couldn't cry no matter what.
Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. People who have never experienced this kind of thing will find it difficult to understand the pain and sorrow involved. Even if Vin Diesel is a strong man, it is difficult to accept such multiple blows.
Drinking seemed to be his only choice. After a glass of beer, Vin Diesel was a little drunk at the moment. However, sometimes things must be reversed. A person is lucky. It cannot be said that he has gone too far. Similarly, a person
Unlucky, if you ask a question like this, you may not necessarily be unlucky. Therefore, at this moment, Vin Diesel's cell phone rang.
At this moment, Vin Diesel didn't want to pay attention to whose cell phone it was. In his opinion, it was either the landlord's phone call or Tommy explaining to himself why he left early. These two people he didn't want to see.
.
Therefore, he did not intend to answer the phone at this moment. But at this moment, Vin Diesel didn't know what he was thinking, but by some strange coincidence, he picked up his mobile phone. He glanced at the phone number and saw that it was a very strange person.
's mobile phone number.
It wasn't Tommy's, nor the landlord's, nor the bank's phone number. This unfamiliar number made Vin Diesel very curious. He had already reached this point. Who would call at such a time?
If you call me, you can't be more unlucky than you are now, right?
Vin Diesel had such an attitude of breaking the rules, and answered the call directly and quite casually.
