Visiting the Toad Palace on a full moon, there are jade hooks hanging on the green curtains. Chang'e can be sentimental, but she will be lonely for thousands of years. --[Mid-Autumn Festival 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 has finally seized this opportunity. The spring breeze is so proud that horses and horses are galloping, and they can see all of Chang'an in one day. At this time, Vin Diesel is driving that third-hand Ford car on the road with pride. He has almost the same mentality as 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 the rules of Hong Kong City were spread to mainland China.

Therefore, this payment method was invented by Hollywood producers to prevent actors from giving up the job midway, or from not working hard enough. Anyway, if you don't perform well, you will get a certain discount on your film remuneration. This is also an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry that everyone recognizes.

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 really not for his own use, it was in his own name. If he did not pay it back, he would definitely lose it. It will have a huge impact on your credit record. No American would dare to let his credit be blacklisted casually.

When he arrived at his house, Fat 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. Therefore, 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. You have never come 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 shot and killed without any responsibility. Even the landlord does 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 and gave me the key with your own hands. You didn't 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 has been in the entertainment industry. Therefore, in such a situation, no matter what, he You can roughly understand how a person is doing 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, he probably wouldn't have a good expression.

Sure enough, Vin Diesel said with emotion: "I feel like I am dreaming now. At this time, I never thought that I would 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 was already good at having 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 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 to invite celebrities, at least first-line actors, at this time. If the budget is generous, you may have to invite actors with a salary of 20 million yuan.

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, the 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, it was hard for Fat Pooh to think about why something like this happened at this time.

Unless the director's brain is flooded, otherwise, in such a situation, it is difficult for this kind of thing to happen.

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 and see why Fast and Furious uses you.

He basically has no friends in Hollywood now. The only one he is relatively familiar with and can talk to is Fat Vinnie. Therefore, when asked a question like this, Vin Diesel thought for a while before saying: "To be honest, I don’t know if the director is out of his mind, but I 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 they don’t necessarily have to choose me.

However, Ye Ming was determined to use me, and he insisted on using me. Otherwise, I guess there would be no chance that someone like this would get this role. I suspect that the choice of roles for this film festival is in the hands of Ye Ming, because it may not necessarily be the director who has 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 normal A-level film director would do such 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 moment 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 money-makers are Ye Ming and Madoff. Madoff is a financial guy. He knows nothing about movies. He just knows how to invest. 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 the establishment of the crew and the distribution of rights among the crew, which are full of intrigues and intrigues. He is quite familiar with this matter.

Moreover, although he has already 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 is still a legend about him in the world. In this regard, he still did the above things very well. Therefore, he got some information, at least speaking more, than Vin Diesel, a third-rate actor who was in trouble.

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, so he can see that at this time, it's 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 protagonist is not decided by the director, but by the investors. Vin Diesel guy 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 , made me want to leave Hollywood and return to my family’s farm to work as a farmer, but I never thought 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 regard, Vin Diesel can be regarded as the kind of actor who has endured all the hardships. Fat Pooh patted him on the shoulder and said: "You have such a temper that you are not suitable for being in Hollywood. If you hadn't met a noble man, you would not be suitable for being in Hollywood at all. Now I only count on the rent and eating at that fast food restaurant." Well, you said that if I don’t charge your rent, what will I eat and drink? Don’t talk about you, even if it’s my son, I’ll still collect the rent, and if you don’t pay him, I’ll drive him to the street. Young man, Hollywood It's not as beautiful as you think.

If you can't 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 personality is more suitable to be a farmer, but that's not necessarily the case. "

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 Pooh said is absolutely correct. Why don't I charge you rent when I rent a house? Even if it's my own son, let alone you. Vin Diesel shrugged and said: "Maybe, I might 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 it, and now I give it to you. "

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 not many lucky young relatives 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 Pooh drank the beer and left without looking back, his back looking a little desolate. Vin Diesel couldn't help but say: "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 his 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 with Avatar later, Titanic is still a legendary movie. (To be continued)
