Chapter 1,366 No One Helps

If life is just like the first time we met, why is it that the autumn wind draws a fan with sadness and easily changes the heart of an old friend, but the heart of an old friend can change easily.

In fact, sometimes speaking, you don’t need too many friends. If you have two or three friends who are truly willing to lend a helping hand in times of crisis, you will basically be lucky in your life. .

But no matter how you say it, Vin Diesel is actually not such a person. He has no friends like this. If it means having friends, then that doesn't mean he doesn't have them when it comes to things like this. He really does have a few friends, but there are basically none who are really willing to help him in times of crisis.

Anyway, now that he is in such a state, he calls a few friends with whom he seems to have a good relationship, and they usually brag about it when drinking.

But now it seems that these friends are not really real friends. If they were some friends, he would not be in such an embarrassing situation on such a problem.

Therefore, after making the call, Vin Diesel threw the phone on the table helplessly and said: "This group of people are usually very interesting to talk about, but if something really happens, ask them to borrow some money. Either I pretended not to hear clearly, or I just said no. No one helped me at all. I finally recognized the true identity of these friends."

It can actually be heard from these words that on a question like this, no matter what it is, Vin Diesel's method of making friends at least now is not very clever.

When Tommy heard this, his heart tightened. What did he mean by saying that his friends were not enough? Maybe, but to borrow money, has our relationship really reached the point where we can borrow money casually?

This is almost impossible. It seems that no one is willing to lend his money to a friend who seems to have just met. Tom hesitated before saying: "I said, do you really have no money to solve the current problem?

Your remuneration is pretty good. Is there any crew that owed you remuneration or something in the past? If so, then based on your current remuneration, there is basically no big problem in repaying the debt. "

There is a Screen Actors Guild, which means that there won’t be much of a problem with regular film crews. As long as you are part of a regular film crew and you want to stay in Hollywood, don’t just default on your pay to the Screen Actors Guild, otherwise If so, the result of such a thing may be very tragic and may not be certain.

Therefore, when it comes to a matter like this, the big crew will have no problem, but this does not mean that the small crew will have no problem at this time.

Even in the United States, even in Hollywood, there are actually small movies, which are our underground movies, and basically there is no theatrical release at all. This kind of movie usually has a small investment and no famous actors at all, or it is a movie that is directly put together by a few laymen, or it is not considered a movie at all. If there is no opening or ending, then it is just a movie. It can be regarded as a video.

There are basically two channels for this type of underground film. One is to participate in foreign film festivals, such as the Saint-Denis Film Festival and other film exhibitions that many people in Hollywood consider to be rural film festivals.

In this case, you can sell some copyrights and so on. Basically, as long as the filming of the film is not too bad, it is hard to say that you will make a lot of money, but you will not lose money. In the end, you can get some revenge and gain some reputation internationally. , this result is still possible.

But for such a small crew, Hollywood will basically not give you enough remuneration. For example, it is 20,000 yuan. In the end, being able to give you 10,000 yuan is considered a conscientious price.

Therefore, small movies like this are basically cast by actors who are desperate, such as Vin Diesel, who have been banned. Generally speaking, even third-tier actors would not easily take on a film that has no chance of being released.

Another channel for this kind of movies is actually to sell them to TV stations. Basically, if you are in a desperate situation and buy a TV station, losing money is almost a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, regarding such an issue, no matter how it is said, if it can win two awards internationally, even if it is an award at a rural film festival, it can be sold at a good price.

Anyway, no matter what kind of sales channel this kind of small movie is, there is one thing: it is difficult to get the full salary. If Vin Diesel had a movie like this, he might be able to get some money back by looking for connections.

This is also very useful for Vin Diesel now.

But Vin Diesel didn't even think about it and wanted to say: "It's been more than two years since I've made this kind of underground movie. I can't afford to lose this person. You also know that if someone goes to shoot this kind of movie, it's almost the same." It proves that this actor is in such a state of desperation that he is about to go bankrupt.

therefore. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I would not shoot this type of movie at a time like this. But now, water from afar cannot quench my thirst for nearness. Even if I want to make a small film, it is impossible to find this opportunity now. "

Yes, this kind of underground movie doesn't happen every day, and it means that at this time, people also have their own circles. In such a situation, they prefer to find their own people. Vin Diesel is definitely not from this circle.

Although it is said that Vin Diesel is a third- and fourth-tier actor, on this issue, he looks down on those underground movies. Therefore, on this issue, although he and those underground movies are in the early stage, He has had many contacts, and he has also shot some such movies, but after he became a little famous, he basically did not have much contact with these film circles.

Those who shot underground movies looked down upon Vin Diesel when they saw that he was a bit famous, so they were unwilling to play with Vin Diesel.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to ask his former friends who made underground films to help him with such a problem.

There is no turning back. Those who shoot underground movies must owe Vin Diesel a debt, but no matter how it is said, in such a matter, he himself does not have an invoice, and secondly, he does not have an invoice. There is no way to prove that someone owes him money.

This is actually how underground movies are shot. There is no factual evidence left at all on this issue.

Therefore, even if those people do have debts, Vin Diesel cannot pay them back at all. It is precisely because he knows this very well that he will never try to collect those who owe money.

No matter who the actors in Hollywood are, they know this unspoken rule, that is, if an underground film is still being filmed and your part has not been filmed, then at this time, you can ask the director and the crew for a salary, and they may come over, but once it is It is very normal to say that after the filming of this movie was completed, you were not paid for the film.

And you don’t have to ask for the remaining remuneration back. This is an unspoken rule that everyone knows. Of course, it doesn't mean that the paycheck has not been paid. For example, if the other party is a big brother on the road, or a cowboy from Texas, these are things you don't want to mess with. Generally, even underground movies don't dare to default on this person. Money.

Obviously, Vin Diesel cannot fall into these two categories.

He does not have such a backer. If Vin Diesel really has such a backer, then he will not be blocked by Heimer on such an issue.

Give Highmore the courage not to block an actor with a background, no matter what the actor's background is.

I heard that Vin Diesel is basically out of business. Not to mention that it is impossible to turn over forever, but at least in a short period of time, in a place like Hollywood where the jungle is strong and the strong prey on the jungle, if Vin Diesel wants to turn around, then It's very difficult.

Therefore, on this issue, no matter how you say it, if the Tommy people think that they continue to stay, there will be no benefit.

After thinking about it, Tommy still said: "Brother, you don't mean to say that you don't even have money for food, do you? You must know that we rent a house, and our landlord is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If If our rent cannot be paid on time, then for such a problem, our end will be very tragic, and the landlord, Mrs. Emily, will throw all our luggage on the street."

From Tommy's point of view, this matter is completely normal. Mrs. Emily is not an easy landlord to get along with. She is a stingy, selfish, and greedy woman. Anyway, if anyone wants to default on his debt, As for rent, on such an issue, this matter will definitely be attacked by Mrs. Emily like a storm.

On a question like this, then at this moment. More generally speaking, Tommy and Vin Diesel should feel sad for their luggage, because the possibility of Mrs. Emily throwing it on the street is very high. Vin Diesel also encountered the feeling of breaking a jar at this moment.

At such a question, he waved his hand and said: "What's the big deal? I know what kind of person Mrs. Emily is, but what will happen in the end? Does it mean that Mrs. Emily will Not keeping your word?

This is impossible. Our house hasn’t expired yet, hasn’t it? Therefore, at a time like this, we are still tenants of that house. No matter what happens, this will never change. "

However, Tommy thought about it at this time and did not say it out loud, but our rent is due the day after tomorrow.

Now Vin Diesel not only owes 50,000 yuan to the bank, but also owes the first loan, and may also owe Mrs. Emily's rent. From Tommy's perspective, this kind of thing is definitely very serious. A sad thing.

Therefore, Tommy hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Brother, please wait a moment while I go to the bathroom."

At this moment, Vin Diesel was a little numb from drinking, so when asked a question like this, he didn't care about Tommy's expression at all, and waved his hand to indicate that he could go.

But at this time, Vin Diesel didn't expect that for such a question, Tommy didn't go to the bathroom at all at this moment. It was quite noisy in the bar, and there were all kinds of sounds.

At this moment, Tommy just took advantage of this chaotic situation and no one paid attention to him. He slowly sneaked to the door alone, and then looked at Vin Diesel who still hadn't finished his drink. He had no time to pay attention to himself. Therefore, Tommy immediately dodged and disappeared through the gate.

Now Tommy had to worry about his wallet. This time, he and Vin Diesel came to a relatively high-end bar, so the consumption at this time was relatively high.

Because Tommy thinks Vin Diesel is very rich. Even if he is banned now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how it is, Vin Diesel is richer than Tommy. Bar. Therefore, the real treat should be Vin Diesel.

Therefore, when it comes to matters like this, Tommy is very lavish whether he is ordering drinks or ordering service.

According to Tommy's own estimation at this moment, it is impossible for him and Vin Diesel to spend less than 3,000 on such a problem. Three thousand, that’s three or four months’ living expenses.

Therefore, at this time, he is not willing to pay like this.

Vin Diesel doesn't have much money left, so at a time like this, if he stays in a bar, he may be the one paying for such a thing. This time he was the one being treated, but he didn't want to turn himself into the real host because of this matter.

Therefore, Tommy simply slipped away. Now Vin Diesel himself still doesn't know that in such a favor, his so-called good brother Tommy, when he needed help the most, not only directly played a trick on him, but also He was tricked. This drink money is not an ordinary amount.

At this moment, Vin Diesel was still in a drunken state, simply saying that he didn't know that Tommy had left. At this moment, in the crew, Ye Ming heard the news about Vin Diesel. At this time, his whole being was... It seems a little different.

How should I put it? He himself now has some doubts as to whether Vin Diesel is really suitable for this role. (To be continued)
