Best Movie Star

Chapter 907: Still brothers and sisters

Originally, Matthew's plan was to put the fourth, fifth and sixth "Fast and the Furious" into a unified trilogy, but Justin Lin submitted the shooting plan, the sixth. It is closely related to the story of the seventh part, and the villains are a pair of brothers.

To be precise, in the sixth part, the racing family made a small one, and the big one jumped out as a small one in the seventh part.

Matthew has seen the "Fast and the Furious" series, especially the seventh part of Paul Walker's misfortune, and was extremely impressed. Even now, the general plot is still remembered.

The script that Justin Lin and Chris Morgan came up with, he doesn't know the details, but the main plot is very similar to the previous two.

The stories are the same, and the best films have the same style.

This is the main reason why Matthew asked Justin Lin to quit after the seventh film.

For this series, the director's salary is not a problem. Matthew can give Justin Lin $15 million plus a certain box office share as compensation.

Of course, Matthew won't talk to Justin Lin about this, or even mention it. Professionals are responsible for these things.

If it really doesn't work, you can only find another director.

Justin Lin didn't think about it for a while, and showed a helpless smile, "I didn't expect that I was bound by the story I participated in writing, and I knew that I would write a separate story for the sixth part."

Matthew said calmly, "The more successful you have, the stronger your ability to resist risks in the future."

In fact, he knows that Justin Lin rests on the one hand, and on the other hand, wants to try other types of themes.

"Okay!" Justin-Lin no longer hesitated, Matthew gave him a generous salary, and he also helped him, and he didn't interfere much with the director's normal work. There are not many such investors and producers in the industry, "I shoot Rest after the seventh part."

He then asked, "Isn't it bad that the villains are a pair of brothers? Why should they be changed to sisters and brothers?"

When Matthew had just written the script, he came up with this idea based on the last part of "The Fast and the Furious" he had seen. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was feasible.

"There is a very prominent problem in the two "Fast and Furious" we filmed." Matthew has long realized that "the villain is not strong enough."

Justin Lin nodded, "That's why I and Chris Morgan specifically strengthened the villain in the script."

Matthew pointed to the script and said, "In the sixth installment, the villain is very strong, an Englishman who also has a strong team. Although they have gone down the wrong road, they still reflect the concept of logging and tired. In the end, he still We got rid of it."

"Actually, I have an idea." Justin-Lin suddenly said, "In order to reflect the power of the villain, should a character in the family be sacrificed?"

Hearing this, Matthew couldn't help thinking of Gal Gadot. The character of Gal Gadot once fell out of the car in the sixth episode, and then didn't appear in the seventh episode, but he remembered watching it at that time. In the gossip report of "Wonder Woman", Gal Gadot participated in the filming of the seventh film, and I don't know why, and finally all her scenes were cut.

Maybe it has something to do with Gal Gadot's decision to play Wonder Woman at that time?

Once, Giselle played by Gal Gadot was just a soy sauce character, but now she is almost a heroine.

If you kill the hero and heroine of a commercial movie, you still have to take it easy. Not every movie is called "Titanic".

"Let's do it." Matthew thought for a moment and said, "Don't move the sixth part for the time being. We will see the situation in the seventh part. When the actor leaves the crew, let his role be honored."

There is still a lot of room for change in the script.

The racing family can't be maintained forever. If nothing else, the sequel will continue to be filmed. The main actors' salaries will inevitably rise. The salaries of so many actors are so high that even Matthew and David Ellison have to Consider risk issues.

The actor is not a character in the film, it is impossible for him to give up the idea of ​​increasing his salary after shouting that he is tired of logging.

Besides, even the male protagonist in the film has to split money in Rio de Janeiro to facilitate cooperation.

Justin Lin took the initiative to bring back the topic he had crooked at this time, "What about the female villain in Part 7?"

"The villain in the sixth film is very powerful. If the seventh film is repeated again, will it cause aesthetic fatigue?" Matthew must consider such a question. After all, without Paul Walker's release, the marketing and emotional effects will be great. Discounted, "Aesthetic fatigue may bring about a sharp decline in the box office."

"There is such a possibility." Justin-Lin believes that he is far worse than Matthew in the grasp of the market.

Matthew tapped the armrest of the chair slowly and said, "We have to give the audience a fresher excitement."

How many people would think that Fast and Furious 7 would have been as popular without Paul Walker? So many people to see?

Just like Heath Ledger, no one should underestimate the publicity effect of the dead.

He took a series of preventive measures, and he thought that Paul Walker would not be an accident. On the basis of the inherent logging, the film must find new selling points.

Matthew has seen "Fast and Furious 7". Now that I think about that film, it's not difficult to find that I can't talk about this film in a very objective way, especially at the end: You can't help but think that on a screen Living people have left us.

The film handled it very well. Not only did it not let Paul Walker die again, but it also gave the best goodbye.

What's that song called? At that time, he had no idea of ​​English songs, nor could he remember the melody. All he knew was that he watched two cars drive on two roads. When the music played, his emotions were a bit agitated.

It is said that those who are rich in emotion shed tears.

Fast and Furious 7 is certainly not the best in the series, but it is definitely the most moving and tear-jerking.

Even with the obvious Hollywood-style "dead marketing" in it, the nostalgia for Paul Walker cannot be ignored.

Think about it, what a powerful propaganda effect these used to have, not to mention those who often go to the theater, the beneficiaries of piracy like him have been bombed into the theater.

Matthew shook his head, got rid of this sudden burst of emotion, and said, "It can be a sister who came out to find a place for my brother." He simply said, "A person with outstanding appearance, superb skills, excellent driving skills and strong aura. The female villain!"

"Uh..." Justin Lin scratched his nose, "It sounds good."

"Female villains are unexpected and can bring a completely different experience of watching movies." The more Matthew said, the more he felt that this idea was a good idea. "What do you think?"

Justin Lin nodded, "You can try changing the script for the seventh part first."

Matthew is only responsible for coming up with ideas, "You and Chris Morgan discuss it to see how the characters are set."

"If the villain is set to be a woman, we need a strong actress who can support the role." Justin Lin thought very quickly, "The male villain in the sixth film also needs a strong actor."

He glanced at Matthew, "It looks like you can't be worse than you."

Matthew thought about the filming of "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra," and said, "I already have the right person."

Justin Lin, the director, immediately asked, "Who is it?"

"Jason Statham." Matthew gave the answer, "As early as more than two years ago, I had a verbal agreement with Guo Da ... Jason Statham, inviting him to appear in an opposite play."

"This is a good candidate." Justin Lin agreed, "Jason Statham has similarities with the character setting, and he is also an Englishman."

He looked at Matthew and finally understood why he always succeeded. Not everyone has the ability to take ten steps forward.

I'm afraid Matthew had already had an idea for the role of "Fast and the Furious" and got Jason Statham ahead of time.

Matthew said directly, "I will contact Jason Statham. If he is willing to play this role, Justin... Well, you can communicate with him more, and you can adjust the characters in the script appropriately according to his characteristics."

Justin Lin nodded again, "Okay, no problem." He asked again, "Where's the actress?"

Although it is a female villain in a popcorn movie, such a role is very difficult to control, and even most of the well-known actresses in the circle are not suitable, especially those so-called goddesses of literature and art. It is definitely a disaster to play such a role.

When Matthew thought about changing the role, he actually had a candidate, saying, "I will contact Charlize Theron and try to convince her to play the role."

"Okay!" Justin Lin agreed again.

Although Charlize Theron has few works in the past two years, he is very impressed with Charlize Theron's past. The cold expression and the aura of 2.8 meters seem to be innate. It is suitable to play a revenge villain. However, there is also a burly figure that is far more burly than the average actress, which is also a natural advantage.

This is simply the template for a natural and tough female villain~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Suddenly, Justin Lin realized a little problem and said with doubt, "The age of Jason Statham and Charlize Theron, and appearance……"

Matthew couldn't help but patted his forehead, he ignored it, and immediately said, "The setting should be changed to brother and sister."

Isn't feminism rising now? Just in time, the eldest brother was beaten and could not take care of himself, and as a result, he had to rely on the younger sister to seek justice.

"What about the appearance?" Justin Lin was still a little puzzled, "the gap between them is too big."

Matthew waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just a small problem."

This is a movie. It is normal for brothers and sisters to look different. Unless they are brothers and sisters together, which movie does not have big differences in appearance between brothers and sisters?

Besides, Jason Statham and Charlize Theron are not without similarities, but both of them have prosperous beauty!
