Entertainment Empire System

There is no orchid boat in a pond with residual lotus water. Where did the girl next door gather lotus roots? --[Mid-Autumn Festival Excerpt 2]

Vin Diesel also has to admire people like Vinny. Using this method, you can walk on a tightrope and get through the cracks in the hidden rules to make money, and finally escape in style. This is the skill.

Many of these people in Hollywood have already repented in prison. But Pooh can safely run his own fast food restaurant and be his own landlord. It must be said that in this aspect, his talent is almost innate.

Vin Diesel said with some confusion: "Actually, I have a question that I don't quite understand about this matter. One thing I want to ask at this time is that this kind of thing has happened in Hollywood before. And this kind of thing happens from time to time. But why do most of the people exposed in this kind of thing go to jail, but in the end you can be your boss with peace of mind?

Is there any secret in this? You must know that the Black Forest Incident is typical in the entertainment industry. "

There are two aspects to this example. One is a positive example. The three of them, Pooh, really deceived Global 500,000. This is regarded as a classic case by countless Hollywood actors and screenwriters. But another negative example is one that makes people laugh.

Pooh and the others did defraud Universal of 300,000 yuan, but the final result was that if the entire movie was shot according to Pooh and the others' ideas, the final box office was 300 million. This is absolutely a crazy return on investment ratio. This is definitely a case that makes people laugh out loud.

Pooh was now open-minded.

At this time, he himself said very relaxedly: "Actually, there is nothing clever about such a thing. We took advantage of a loophole when we signed the contract, and we recruited actors and let them become shareholders, but in the end, according to the contract It was also refunded to them. They were just trying to deceive Universal, but the deception was successful. The money was naturally returned, and we didn’t ask for a penny.

This is why Universal’s legal team has not won the lawsuit against us so far. We are reasonable and legal, and there are no flaws in what we do. The only flaw is that I guessed the beginning of the story, but not the end. "

Why is Universal still fighting a lawsuit with Pooh? It has never been able to win, but it still fights the lawsuit.

There are two reasons. One is that what Winnie did is really difficult for the legal team to catch, so it is normal that he cannot win. But if we say that on an issue like this, it is impossible not to file a lawsuit because Universal has made so much money.

This lawsuit must still be fought, because it is a matter of attitude. Even if the court finally rules that Universal loses, the lawsuit must be fought at this time.

This is a matter of attitude. Attitude determines everything. If Universal doesn't even file a lawsuit this time, then there will be people who will try to deceive Universal on this issue in the future.

Universal is killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. I won’t say whether to kill the chicken or not, but at least it must have this attitude to scare other people.

Universal can lose the lawsuit, but its momentum will never be weak. Vin Diesel shrugged helplessly. At this time, he didn't know whether he should laugh at Vinnie or admire Vinnie. This person is quite contradictory.

Of course, these have nothing to do with him. He thought for a while and continued: "This is indeed worth learning from everyone. Borrow some money, otherwise I won't even have a decent suit of clothes for the audition. This guy with an unshaven beard will be even worse." It makes people uncomfortable to watch. When I first meet, I always have to leave a good impression on the director."

At this time, Fat Pooh immediately said: "Actually, I want you to pay attention to this matter. There is no problem in lending you money, and there is no problem in buying a decent set of clothes. Clothes are a person's appearance. You always have to give people a capable image.

But if you are talking about shaving off your beard, then there is no need. This is a decadent state. I think perhaps what the director needs most is a state like yours.

Because if he comes to you, he will probably ask you to play a negative role or something. Anyway, it is impossible for you to play a policeman or something. You can play a bodyguard or a **** big brother or something like this. It's relatively possible. You must know that this is a road movie, and it is impossible for you to play a warrior or a hero. "

It seems that in such a situation, Pooh is quite familiar with this kind of thing. After Pooh's analysis, it is really possible that this thing is what he said. If Rob Cohen wanted Vin Diesel to be a hero or something like this, it would be almost impossible.

These are all based on experience. Although Pooh was forced to quit the entertainment industry, the legend of Pooh still exists in the entertainment industry. As an old man in the entertainment industry, these experiences are actually very precious.

In the end, Vin Diesel borrowed money to buy a casual outfit. There is no need to be so generous with a suit or something, but on a question like this, in fact, no matter how it is said, at this time, you are wearing clean and neat clothes. , you must always have it, otherwise you will dress like a beggar and your first impression will not be very good, which will be very detrimental during the audition.

In such a situation, Rob Cohen was actually waiting for Vin Diesel at this time, which was different from Ye Ming's calmness. Ye Ming had already said that he already knew the answer to this question.

If Vin Diesel is not suitable for Fast and Furious, then there are only a handful of people in Hollywood who are suitable for playing this kind of lustful person, and you may have to look for him in the 20 million salary club.

Therefore, in fact, this is a result that Ye Ming does not want to see, very much. But Rob Cohen didn't know the result of such a question. He thought that Ye Ming was just a new official who took office at this time. Anyway, he just wanted to establish his authority on the crew.

After all, although Ye Ming now claims to have the right to choose roles, he is relatively young and does not have much prestige among the crew. It is possible that Ye Ming will use such an incident to establish his strong prestige in the crew.

What Rob Cohen is most afraid of is actually saying this. He doesn't want something like this to happen, because once something like this happens, at this time, it means that the crew may be divided. , the investors and the director actually have the same idea, this is quite detrimental to the crew. Now Rob Cohen really hopes that Vin Diesel can really shine.

When the time came, Vin Diesel came to the set on time. This is also an unspoken rule in Hollywood. There is no need to come early. In the United States, there is basically a view that work is work, life is life, and working time is You have to work hard, but if you are talking about life, then don’t talk about work. Many people will abide by this very much.

Even in the entertainment industry, the work schedule cannot be nine to five, let alone any holidays. Generally speaking, when you are busy filming, even if it is Halloween or something, you may not be spending it on the set. of.

It is estimated that Christmas is the only time the crew can take a day off.

But didn’t the crew say that they haven’t officially started filming yet? So speaking of it, Vin Diesel came early and may not be able to meet Rob Cohen.

If you don't come early, you don't have to come late. If you are late, you will definitely offend the director, but coming early doesn't necessarily mean you will be looked down upon by the director. Therefore, at this time, Vin Diesel actually came at the most appropriate time. The two personnel interviewers, Ye Ming and Director Rob Cohen, have begun the audition. This time it is said to be an audition, but in fact it means asking Ye Ming and, of course, Rob Cohen to see if Vin Diesel is suitable for the role of Fast and Furious. movie.

After Vin Diesel arrived, he said very politely: "Director, Mr. Ye, I am Vin Diesel. I was invited to audition. I wonder what kind of role your team needs?" This is it. Vin Diesel is smart.

In fact, after being banned, he no longer chooses what kind of role the crew will give him, but will ask whether the crew can hire him in such a matter. If it is said that he can be hired, even if it is for As long as a walk-on character appears in the scene for a few minutes, it means that his blockade has been broken. In the future, when he auditions for any production crew, he can use the role of Fast and Furious to guarantee himself. This is the only way. It’s a result that Vin Diesel needs.

Rob Cohen looked at Vin Diesel meaningfully and said: "To be honest, I have seen some of your works. Although I think you are more suitable for our movie, there are so many people in Hollywood. There are plenty of actors for the roles we need. So you may not be the only choice.”

This is actually to give Vin Diesel a beating. Generally speaking, unless he is a superstar, at least a first-line star, he will be beaten when he gets to the crew. This is used by the director to facilitate his management of the crew. One method is similar to the three things our new officials do when they take office.

But for an actor like Vin Diesel who has been banned, giving him a role is already very merciful. In such a situation, he actually said that he has the same benefit. Using such a method to deal with it, it can be seen that Rob Cohen is a very cautious director.

Even if it cannot be said that Vin Diesel is a relatively depressed actor, the more depressed a person is, the stronger his self-esteem may be, and his rebellious psychology may be very serious. Therefore, under such a situation, Rob Cohen also gave Vin Diesel a lesson first to show the authority of the director in the crew.

This means that at a time like this, our crew may not necessarily choose to use you, so you have to be mentally prepared.

Vin Diesel is indeed relatively humble. During the days of being banned, everyone is actually the same as someone who knows how to dig into themselves. Vin Diesel's temper is indeed the kind that is easy to get into trouble. people.

This kind of person may not seem to be anything special at ordinary times, but once he accepts death, it is relatively difficult to change.

But during the days when he was banned, he also saw more of the harsh world in Hollywood, which made him understand that it is not that easy to get along in a place like Hollywood. At least before you get to the front line, you must always maintain a certain degree of awe. of. Maybe if you get to the front line, then at a time like this, you can live a little more according to your own ideas.

This is Hollywood, a very realistic and materialistic place. Profit is the most important thing here, so Vin Diesel has finally learned to be humble when it comes to an issue like this, at least for now.

He said very politely: "Don't worry, director, I will work hard to express myself. As for whether I can succeed, there is an old saying in China, what you plan is for people to succeed. I am mentally prepared for this."

In Chinese terms, for such a matter, it was actually a temporary solution that Vin Diesel came up with, because this time there was Ye Ming, the star of China, the investor and investor of this movie, present at the audition. One of the starring roles. It is estimated that a person like this has certain rights if he is sitting here at this time.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here at this critical time.

At this time, it is easier to use a Chinese saying to give yourself extra points. I have to say that Vin Diesel does have the ability to adapt to an idea on the spot.

Robert Cohen said with a smile: "What you said is not wrong. It depends on people to make things happen. You use this sentence very correctly. In fact, the one who really thinks highly of you is Mr. Ye Ming. He thinks you are In this movie, it is suitable to play a main role. Note that it is a main role, not a supporting role, not a supporting role.

He is the main character, the second male lead who plays as much role as the male lead. Therefore, we need you to play such a role. At this time, our requirements will also be very strict. Do you have to be mentally prepared? "

The protagonist is actually the protagonist. This is something that Vin Diesel simply cannot believe. In fact, if the crew of Fast and Furious can give him a supporting role this time, it will be a very good result. , it’s not that it’s incomprehensible if you brush the face of a supporting actor, but the protagonist, he really didn’t expect such a result.
