Chapter 718 The most sleepy person in Hollywood
"District 9" hasn't even been released yet, "Fast and Furious 4", another racing crime-themed movie from Melon Studios, has been released.
Compared with its previous life, the "Fast and Furious" series has undergone great changes.
However, movies with this type of theme are not very particular about the plot. People don’t come to popcorn movies for exciting plots.
As long as the design of the racing scene is cool enough and the action scenes are explosive enough, it will make people's adrenaline soar. In addition, if you have a beautiful woman accompanying you, there will be nothing else.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The film received US$63.22 million in its first week of release, which is a very good result.
The film has also maintained a relatively good reputation, although it is certainly not comparable to "The Dark Knight". But at least the movie-watching process is quite enjoyable, and that's it.
However, for a movie series that has lasted for four movies, how to provide the audience with continuous and fresh stimulation is something that the creators need to consider.
Therefore, the film's investment jumped from US$38 million in the first part to US$125 million in the fourth.
In addition to the soaring production costs, it is also related to the expansion of the salaries of the series' leading actors. In order to reduce the salary expenditure, several protagonists had to die.
Liv Tyler and Jessica Alba successfully died in the fourth film. Letty, who appeared in the first film, was restored in the fourth film. This role was played by Michelle Rodriguez.
In addition, a new actor named Gal Gadot has joined the series and plays a role in it.
Liv Tyler pestered little Gilbert aggrievedly: "I died in the fourth movie, you have to compensate me."
"What should I compensate you for? Hiss... you are willing to speak so harshly?"
"Hmph, if you don't make it up to me, I'll bite off that thing of yours and leave your women alone in the empty room."
"You, you," little Gilbert shook his head and said, "Okay, let me think about it, how about you play an elf?"
"Elf? Lord of the Rings?"
"Yes, in The Hobbit, the prequel to The Lord of the Rings, you play an elf archer, which suits you very well," said Little Gilbert.
Liv Tyler was overjoyed: "I knew you wouldn't leave me alone, I love you."
After saying that, Liv Tyler clapped her hands: "I will introduce you to a good friend, we met on the set."
"Wait, what good friend?"
Before little Gilbert could react, he saw Gal Gadot walking over with a blushing face.
"Director Gilbert Jr."
"Uh," Little Gilbert was speechless and glared at Liv Tyler.
Liv Tyler smiled softly and said: "Come up quickly, Gail, what did I teach you last time?"
"I know," Gal Gadot took off her clothes, revealing her infinitely beautiful body.
It's already this time, and little Gilbert doesn't sit still and doesn't mess with Liu Xiahui, so naturally he won't let him go. As a result, the spring breeze also allowed Gal Gadot, who had just arrived in Hollywood, to find a support.
After a night of sports, Gal Gadot left first in the morning, but got little Gilbert's private number.
"How did you trick this little girl into coming here?" Little Gilbert asked.
"What do you mean you lied to me?" Liv Tyler rolled her eyes: "I mean you show new actors a clear path.
Besides, since someone is going to sleep with her sooner or later, it's better to let you sleep so you can take care of her. ”
"What theory is this?"
"Hollywood women's survival theory." Liv Tyler said confidently: "How many people want to sleep but don't have this way, she has to thank me." As soon as she finished speaking, Liv Tyler's mobile phone text message rang, it was Gail Garrison Sent by Duo.
"Look, I'll just say it!"
Little Gilbert took a quick look and saw that it was indeed a text message of thanks from Gal Gadot.
Liv Tyler also said: "I tell you, you should let go of the restrictions. If you let go of the restrictions, I believe you will definitely surpass Warren Beatty."
Warren Beatty is a well-known Hollywood actor, director, and producer who won the 54th Academy Award for Best Director.
However, what he is most well-known for is not what works he starred in or directed, but that he slept with many Hollywood A-list actresses during his active years.
These actresses all spoke highly of him and maintained his image, which is somewhat similar to the current little Gilbert.
However, little Gilbert is still a lot inferior to others. It is said that Warren Beatty slept with 12,775 women. The data may be exaggerated, but it does prove that he slept with many women.
Little Gilbert had heard of this man's name, but it was from Commissioner Smith, a piece of rosy news in his early years.
Rumor has it that Warren Beatty was a frequent visitor to one of the previous owners of the White House in Washington. The two also played together and frequented clubs and islands.
Little Gilbert glared at Liv Tyler: "I'll be thankful if you don't find me bad women."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Really?" Liv Tyler's eyes lit up: "So you mean, I can continue to find women for you? Yes, my king."
Little Gilbert raised his hand to express his speechlessness.
Liv Tyler smiled again: "Don't worry, I won't find that kind of woman for you. I'm also afraid of the sick ones. I guarantee that they are all clean."
With such a woman on the stall, what else could little Gilbert say? Just enjoy it.
Back to Fast and Furious 4, the core of the series is Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. But perhaps because he has appeared in so many roles, Vin Diesel is also in a state of admiration.
In the negotiations for the latest film, he demanded that he have a greater say, serve as a producer, and be able to select actors.
In addition, his salary will also increase to the level of 20+20.
Of course, Xianggua Studio could not agree to such an outrageous request and categorically rejected it. So Vin Diesel proposed a strike and would quit the series if his conditions were not met.
To this, little Gilbert's reply was: "If he wants to withdraw, just let him withdraw. We have a replacement."
Gilbert Jr. originally planned to let Dwayne Johnson join in the fifth part, so if Vin Diesel withdraws, there is no need to worry.
Directly write Don Boss to death, Paul Walker becomes the leader of the Fast and Furious Family, and then joins forces with Dwayne Johnson to avenge Don Boss.
The plot is all ready-made, no need to think about it.
Vin Diesel is miserable. He has left the "Fast and Furious" series in recent years and has not had any outstanding works. "Xx" counts as one, and the rest are just by the wayside and not worth mentioning.
Although sometimes his mind is wrong, Vin Diesel is not a fool. He knows what this series means to him.
So Vin Diesel quickly knelt down and quickly signed an actor contract to continue playing the role of Don.
This is the tragedy of series movie actors. After leaving the Ace series, they find themselves useless. Later, Marvel actors also faced this dilemma, and their performance was quite poor after leaving Marvel movies.
But there is no way, there are gains and losses, relying on the series of movies, at least maintaining his status as a first-line star.
For celebrities, status is very important.
