Paul is not a person who is good at hiding his thoughts. There is always sunshine and shyness on his magnanimous face, and all his emotions are clear at a glance.

It was just a casual joke that easily exposed Paul.

Looking up, looking at Renly's surprised expression, Paul rubbed his hair vigorously, as if to clear all the irritability, gritted his teeth, and said in a big bang, "Sorry. I couldn't stop it, I tried Well, I tried talking to Michael, I tried talking to Neil, but they all just said, I'll just do my job and leave the rest to them. It's not right, it's not right, I'm trying to tell They, it's unfair and stupid, but..."

Looking at Paul's disgusted, indignant expression, Renly was at a loss. He thought that if he listened carefully, things would gradually understand, but in fact, the more he listened, the more confused he became, and the more question marks on his head, he had to interrupt Paul's words, "What are you trying to stop? What are you trying to talk about? You know, before you confess to the priest, you need to talk about the ins and outs of things."

Paul was also stunned, his eyes rolled twice, hesitantly said, "I'm... trying to... stop them from making mistakes, they don't see your importance and refuse to give you the corresponding attention. It's not just short-sighted, it's wrong. Fan can't do that. They know Fan is targeting you, but they still agree with Fan's outrageous advice."

"Wait." Renly raised his hand again, he vaguely grasped some key points, but today's filming is too practical, he needs to rest now, and he is too lazy to use his brain, so he stopped Paul for the second time, "From the very beginning. Are you talking about the 'Fast \u0026 Furious 5' thing?"

"No, I'm talking about the sequel." Paul came to his senses at this time, his eyes widened and his face full of surprise, "Don't you know? Didn't your agent tell you about the sequel?"

"During filming, I tried to eliminate outside interference as much as possible." Renly was still as slow as possible, drinking coffee leisurely and enjoying the fragrance of coffee, "I think Andy should have mentioned it to Nathan, Nathan mentioned something to me, but I didn't care at the time. What's the matter? Isn't the movie still in theaters? Why is there such a rush about the sequel?"

Paul was stunned for a while, and then showed an expression of sudden realization, "So, you don't know anything?" After getting a positive answer from Renly, Paul paused for a while, then laughed dumbly, realizing his own oolong just now, " Yes, the sequel has been discussed now. They can't wait to start thinking about the next plan to make money." Paul also sneered for a rare time, but that bright smile made the sarcasm bright. stand up.

"Now they've started talking about the sequel's story, the frame, the characters, the content, etc. You know, building the blueprint for the entire sequel." Paul started directly from the opening this time, "Fan was also one of the producers, he told Others, you're not that important to the sequel, and they shouldn't give you special treatment, not just in terms of characters, but also in terms of pay. Do you know how much they're going to pay you?"

This was supposed to be a question, but before Renly could open his mouth, Paul had already asked himself, "Three and a half million dollars!" And in a furious way.

"Don't they realize that this is a mistake? Fan is just talking nonsense with his eyes open. He doesn't deal with you. Everyone knows that he is obviously avenging private revenge, confounding right and wrong, and talking nonsense. As a result, other people Everyone is confused.

Everyone can see that this time the work has achieved such a breakthrough success, most of it is due to you, and they all have to listen to Fan's nonsense there! It's disgusting!

This is not the correct way to treat colleagues on the crew, nor the correct way to treat the heroes of the crew. I see that they are all confused, completely forgetting how hard you worked and tried your best to make a good work when you were on the set, but Fan was like a little adolescent girl, immersed in the In my own emotions, this is ridiculous!

I can't believe Universal Pictures would be so dizzy and make such a stupid mistake, do they even know what they're doing? "

Rumbling, splashing, impassioned, Paul is really too unfamiliar.

Paul, whom Renly knew, was a good-natured good-natured man, smiling all day long. Even if someone offended him, he waved his hand to say it was okay; when he talked about surfing, his eyes always glowed involuntarily; he stayed away from the spotlight and was unknown. He does charity work, never thinks that the profession of an actor is anything special, and always maintains a humble and low-key style.

But today, Paul shows another side of his temper.

Such a genuine Paul made Renly's heart flow a little warm.

He knew, clearly knew that Universal Pictures was not stupid. They had no personal grudges with Renly and Fan. At best, they were driven by interests. As long as there were enough interests, Universal Pictures would change. idea. The reason why they stood on Fan's side was simply because they were unwilling to let go of their interests easily.

It is they who have a personal position. Fan was his enemy, so he tried his best to make him uncomfortable; and Paul was his friend, so he was fighting for him inside and out. They are all unreasonable, because they are guarding their positions.

Looking at Paul, who was babbling and complaining constantly, the smile on Renly's mouth couldn't help but rise.

He is fortunate to have missed family affection in this life, but made a lot of real friends. Especially in the colorful Vanity Fair in Hollywood, it is really rare to make a sincere friend like Paul.

Paul's eyes fell on Renly's face, and then he saw the smile, he couldn't help but froze, frowned, and hurriedly said, "You're not in a hurry now? It's going to burn your eyebrows. I found Neil, then Michael, and two other producers, but it didn't seem to work! If this goes on, maybe they'll just kick you out!"

In a hurry, Paul patted Renly's arm hard. Renly quickly stretched out the coffee to avoid spilling the hot coffee on his clothes. This action made Paul quickly stretch out his hands and carefully protect Renly's After making sure that the coffee was not spilled, the rushing temper was calmed down again.

Paul let out a heavy breath, leaned back in his chair depressedly, and said depressedly, "Sorry, it's all my fault. If I had found out earlier, if I had become a producer...the situation is different now. already."

"Haha." Renly chuckled softly, which made Paul feel angry, glanced at Renly wordlessly, then looked at Renly's relaxed expression, both absurd and funny, the corners of his mouth twitched. , tried to hold back the urge to smile, but in the end, he couldn't hold back, he just laughed, shook his head, and had no way to take Renly.

"It's not your responsibility." Renly patted Paul's shoulder gently, "Trust me, it's definitely not your responsibility. If Universal Pictures chooses not to use me in the sequel, that's their decision; If I protest and don't get the results I want, that's my agent's responsibility. Paul, you're my friend, but you're not responsible for my work."

"But..." Paul tilted his head and looked at Renly with a gloomy face. He was not a good articulate, there were countless words in his mind, but he couldn't express them, and finally he could only say gloomily, "But Fan doesn't make it clear. For you."

"Then do you think I'd be afraid of him?" Renly's understated words had strong confidence, not to mention that the matter is not settled yet, it's just a preliminary discussion, and the road ahead is still long; A sequel agreement was signed. During the filming of the sequel, Renly had no stage fright in the face of Fan.

Paul blinked and looked at Renly, who was slowly tasting his coffee, and found that he had no way to refute it. "But, he is one of the producers. If he doesn't let go, there is no room for manoeuvre." After speaking, Paul realized that Vin Diesel was an impenetrable wall and couldn't help but feel frustrated. stand up.

Universal Pictures is one of the six major film companies, and the confrontation with artists always has an innate advantage, even if it is James Cameron, Steven Spielberg and other top existences, seize the advantage in the game It also takes effort. If you accidentally tear your face, it will be the artist who will suffer after the chickens and eggs are beaten.

Renly understood what Paul meant. After entering Hollywood, from outside the door to the inside, Renly gradually peeked into part of the truth about this Vanity Fair, especially after signing Andy as an agent, Renly also understood that in the real world, talent is not everything, dreams are No, the exchange of benefits requires sacrifice in order to gain.

"Paul, why did you become an actor?" Facing Paul's concerns, Renly started chatting in a misguided manner.

Paul didn't wonder, but thought about it seriously, "In the beginning, I didn't really have any special ideas, just because my mother was a model, and then I started to model when I was two years old; later when I was a child , went to audition for a few works, and became an actor."

Paul was born as a child star, but Hollywood child stars have always been hard to get ahead. Just look at the iron law of Hollywood: Never shoot a film with children and animals. There are many famous child stars in history, but not many, Paul is not one of them.

"But when I grew up, I used to have other choices." It was just a simple question, but Paul reassured him. "In the end, I chose to be an actor because I could travel everywhere, because I could experience a different life, and because I felt happy. ."
