The first thousand three hundred and seventy-four chapters lucky
Visiting the Toad Palace on the moon, with jade hooks hanging on the green curtains. Chang'e can be sentimental, and she will be lonely for thousands of years.--[Mid-Autumn Month Excerpt No. 5]
Vin Diesel did not forget to ask for Ye Ming's autograph and left very happily. Starring, this is not a minor role. Starring in a top Hollywood production. This is his last chance and the best opportunity. Now he finally
I have seized this opportunity. I am so proud that I have seen all of Chang'an in one day. At this time, Vin Diesel is driving that third-hand Ford car and driving on the road proudly. It is almost the same as the mentality of winning the first prize.
.
The so-called one thought is heaven and one thought is hell. Most of them are in this state. Yesterday, he was worried about the bank loan, but now, there is no need for that.
After signing a contract with the crew, one-third of the salary is paid at this time. In fact, this film was learned from China and Hollywood, but Hong Kong City learned it from China, and then this rule from Hong Kong City spread to mainland China.
Therefore, this payment method was invented by Hollywood producers to prevent actors from quitting the job midway, or from saying that they were not doing their best when they were doing it. Anyway, it means that your acting is not good. When the time comes,
There will be a certain discount on the remuneration. This is also an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry and is recognized by everyone.
Of course, the producer is also obliged to give the actors a certain amount of red envelopes after a box office hit. No matter how much, after a box office hit, in addition to the normal salary, there will also be a certain amount of red envelopes for the rest. This is definitely
Yes, this is also an unspoken rule in Hollywood. Therefore, Vin Diesel received one-third of his salary at this time, and first paid off the bank loan. Although the money was not really for himself, it was in his name.
If you don't pay it back, it will definitely have a huge impact on your credit record. No American would dare to have his or her credit blacklisted casually.
When we got to our house, Fatty Pooh was sitting in the living room, with a beer in hand and a few side dishes on the table. It was serious Shandong cuisine, Chinese Shandong cuisine. It is said that Ye Ming likes Shandong cuisine very much. Fatty specifically looked for the one in Chinatown.
The restaurant makes Shandong cuisine, and I have eaten it several times. It is good and very satisfying to my appetite, so I eat this kind of Shandong cuisine often.
Vin Diesel picked up the roast chicken, threw it on the table, opened the beer and took a sip before saying: "Pooh, I didn't expect that you would actually come to my place for a drink at this time, but you never came to my place again.
I've been here before. And, by the way, how do you have the key to my house?"
This is something Vin Diesel didn't expect. Although this house belongs to Vinnie, Vin Diesel has rented it and paid for it. Therefore, the right to live in this house belongs to Vin Diesel. If an outsider comes in casually,
, Vin Diesel was not responsible for shooting and killing him. Even the landlord did not have any right to come in casually. This is a matter of personal privacy.
Fat Winnie snorted and said: "Why did you forget to change the locks yourself? Last time you went to Texas to film a movie, you asked me to take care of the goldfish in your house. You gave me the key with your own hands. Don't you?
Could it be that you were so drunk yesterday that you still haven't woken up?" At this moment, Vin Diesel thought that maybe he really encountered such a thing by chance, so he patted his head and said, "Really? There is such a thing,
But my goldfish is still dead."
Fat Pooh snorted and said: "There are some people who keep goldfish and two cats. Aren't you short-sighted? These two cats ate your goldfish, and they have nothing to do with me? By the way,
Seeing that you are in such a good mood now, did you succeed in the audition?"
This should be 80% successful. Fat Pooh is still very accurate in judging people. No matter what he is, he has been in the entertainment industry. Therefore, in such a situation, no matter what he is, he
You can roughly understand how a person's affairs are going from his expression and demeanor. Looking at Vin Diesel's proud look now, you know that this guy must have succeeded. If he hadn't succeeded, it probably wouldn't have been possible.
It's a nice expression.
Sure enough, Vin Diesel said with emotion: "It's like a dream for me until now. At this time, I didn't expect that I would actually be able to play the second male lead in the Fast and Furious crew. I am the second male lead."
The role of the number one is not a supporting role, but the role of the second male lead."
This was obviously beyond Fat Vinny's expectations. He seemed to think that at this time, Vin Diesel would be pretty good to have such a supporting role, but he never expected that he would be the second male lead.
A character of Zi.
At this time, Fatty Winnie was stunned for a moment and then said: "Is your director out of his mind? He can do such a thing, and he is actually the second male lead with you. How can a director like this in Hollywood have a big name?"
Are the production and Universal a bunch of idiots?"
Any director who can get into top-level movies will be very careful. When choosing supporting roles, he may sell personal relationships or other things, but when it comes to choosing the protagonist, it means that the film company has the final say.
Another way to decide who is who is, at this time, in this matter, to invite big celebrities, at least first-line actors, if the budget is generous, you may have to invite actors with a salary club of 20 million.
Those actors have honed their acting skills and accumulated reputations through one series of works. In this way, the chance of failure is very small. For example, Cage, an Oscar-winning actor, ended up becoming a parallel import, which is very rare.
Therefore, this is the most important method for directors of large-scale productions to determine the starring role.
A third-tier actor like Vin Diesel was cast into the second-tier role before he even got into the second-tier role. He was also banned by other directors. And it was during the ban period that it was quite dangerous to use an actor like this.
Behavioral. As someone who once worked in the industry, at this time, it was difficult for Fat Pooh to think about why such a thing happened.
Unless the director is out of his mind, it would be difficult for such a thing to happen in such a situation.
Vin Diesel had nothing to hide when he arrived, even though Fat Vinnie, that bastard, was very rude to him over the rent and almost threw his luggage on the street.
But this guy is also famous in the circle. He is well-informed and said that this guy is not wrong. Therefore, in such a matter, Vin Diesel actually has nothing to hide. He needs someone to tell him.
Do your own analysis to see why Fast and Furious uses you.
He basically has no friends in Hollywood now. The only one he is familiar with and can talk to is Fat Vinnie. Therefore, when asked a question like this, Vin Diesel pondered for a while before saying: "To be honest,
I don’t know if the director is out of his mind, but I do know that the director is quite prejudiced against me. In fact, at the first sight, the director directly said that he didn’t like me very much. He said that it could be used by Hollywood.
There are many actors, but you don’t necessarily have to choose me.
However, Ye Ming decided that he must use me, and he insisted on using me. Otherwise, I guess there is no one like this who could get this role. I suspect that this film festival has the right to choose roles.
In Ye Ming’s hands, the director may not have the final say.”
This is something that Vin Diesel has been doubting since he left the racing track. It is exactly the same as what Fat Vinnie said. Could it be that the director is out of his mind? On such a question, it is actually
Are you talking about using a third-tier actor, and a banned third-tier actor, to play the second male lead? No director of a normal A-level movie would do such an irrational behavior.
Fifty million is enough to drive some people crazy. Therefore, Vin Diesel feels that the right to choose roles seems to be in Ye Ming's hands, and the director is just a foil.
Fat Pooh thought for a while and then said calmly: "This question is not to say that it is impossible. It is not to say that there is no precedent for this in Hollywood. You must know that Ye Ming is one of the investors. The Fast and Furious movie
The movie is said to be produced by Universal, but Universal just has a name. The real people who provide money are Ye Ming and Madoff. Madoff is a financial guy. He knows nothing about movies, he just knows investment.
He just knows how to use an accountant to monitor the crew's expenses. Therefore, in this situation, the person who really decides on the movie is Ye Ming. Therefore, in this situation, Ye Ming, as one of the investors, can
It's not uncommon in Hollywood to decide actors like this."
Fat Pooh is indeed a veteran among them, especially when it comes to matters such as the establishment of the crew and the distribution of rights among the crew. He is quite familiar with this matter.
Moreover, although he has said that he has quit the entertainment industry, he is still well-informed about these things in the entertainment industry.
Brother is no longer in the world, but there are still legends about him in the world. He has done a very good job in this and the above. Therefore, some of the news he has received is, at least speaking, better than that of Vin Diesel.
There are far more third-rate actors.
At this time, based on some of his own information, he analyzed some things like this, which were actually relatively close to the truth.
There is no truth in Hollywood. If there must be, it means whichever truth is in the best interests of Hollywood, that is the truth. If it is not the truth, it is still the truth.
Fat Pooh is very clear about this. Therefore, he can see that at this time, it is not that director Rob Cohen is out of his mind, but that this guy has no choice in the role and no rights at all. At least, in
At this time, the leading role is not decided by the director, but by the investors. Vin Diesel is just a lucky actor.
Vin Diesel said with great emotion: "I don't know if it's rare or not, but for a matter like this, I feel that I am relatively lucky. Yesterday, I was forced to pay for debt by the bank and you were pressed for rent. This matter
, gave me the idea to leave Hollywood and return to my family’s farm to work as a farmer, but I didn’t expect that today I would be able to become the second male lead in a top Hollywood production. I never dreamed of this, right?”
This thing is indeed a result of Hollywood. God closes a door for you, but he will definitely open a window for you.
In this way, Vin Diesel can be regarded as the kind of actor who has endured all hardships. Fat Vinnie patted him on the shoulder and said: "You have such a temper that you are not suitable for Hollywood. If you hadn't met a noble person, you wouldn't be able to work in Hollywood."
It's not suitable for me to live in Hollywood. Now I just rely on the rent and eating at that fast food restaurant. You said that if I don't charge your rent, I will eat and drink whatever I want. Don't talk about you. Even if you are my son, I will be the same.
Collect the rent and throw him out on the street if he doesn't pay me the same. Young man, Hollywood is not as beautiful as you think.
If you are unable to change your temper, then at this time, I advise you to go home and become a farmer directly after finishing filming Fast and Furious. Maybe your character
It’s not necessarily true that I’m more suitable to be a farmer.”
This is a piece of advice, a piece of advice from an old man who has been in Hollywood for a long time.
What Fat Vinnie said is absolutely correct. Why don’t I charge you rent when I rent a house? Even if it’s my own son who charges rent, let alone you. Vin Diesel shrugged and said: “Maybe.
Well, maybe I will try to change myself, it depends on the situation?
By the way, this is Ye Ming's signature, and the photo of me and him, you asked for them all, and I give them to you now."
Fat Pooh didn't say anything else about this matter. He took it and put it away and said: "Come on, young man, there are very few lucky young people like you in Hollywood. They are only a handful. Don't waste your luck."
, Sometimes, luck is actually a part of testing one’s strength.”
After saying this, Fat Vinnie drank a beer and left without looking back. His back looked a little desolate. Vin Diesel couldn't help but said: "Who else in Hollywood has such luck?"
Fat Pooh opened the door and said: "The last person who was so lucky was called Leonardo. I won't tell you the name, but you should be very familiar with it, right? The Titanic made Leonardo unbeatable.
As long as he doesn't commit suicide, he will definitely be able to go further with this role, and his journey will be much smoother than other Hollywood actors."
Titanic may not be the most classic movie in Hollywood, but it is the most profitable one. Even if Avatar came later, Titanic can still be regarded as a legendary movie.
