Chapter 601 Vin Diesel: I’m sure of this horse boy, even Jesus can’t stop me, I said so

Hollywood.

In a mansion.

Vin Diesel was nestled on the big sofa like a little potato, nervously looking at the agent beside him who was talking on the phone.

Not a moment.

His agent hung up the phone.

"What did Universal say? Now that Paul is in heaven, in the next movie [Fast and Furious 7], I will be the real leading actor." Vin Diesel asked with some anticipation.

The male protagonist at the beginning of the [Fast and Furious] series was actually Paul Walker.

After all, in 2001, there were no bald tough guy leading men in Hollywood.

At the beginning, Vin Diesel had no idea of ​​competing with Paul Walker for the male lead. This can be seen from Vin Diesel's absence from "Fast and Furious 2" and "Fast and Furious 3".

But it couldn't hold up to the box office of "Fast and Furious 3", so it immediately recalled Vin Diesel, which fueled Vin Diesel's ambition to compete with Paul Walker for the male lead in the crew.

Then after the three sequels of [Fast and Furious 4.5.6], Vin Diesel's performance got better and better, and his popularity became more and more popular, while Paul Walker's performance was quite mediocre.

So slowly Vin Diesel began to become the unspecified male protagonist of the "Fast and Furious" series.

Because it has the most and most outstanding roles in the movie.

But just being the uncrowned king of the [Fast and Furious] series is obviously not Vin Diesel’s ultimate goal.

Originally, Vin Diesel had planned how to completely squeeze out Paul Walker in the next movie [Fast and Furious 7], not even giving him the male lead position.

But Paul Walker suddenly drove up to the sky on his own.

Vin Diesel feels like God has blessed him.

Now that everyone is gone, it’s finally his turn as the secretly number one leading actor to step onto the stage!

After all, with current Hollywood filming techniques, it’s not possible to go to the underworld to find actors.

"What, something happened? Are other people on the crew also interested in taking over?" Vin Diesel guessed, seeing his agent's face looking a little ugly.

But even if other people in the crew were interested in being in charge, Vin Diesel was not false at all.

"There are some changes. Universal Pictures has just held a meeting regarding the follow-up shooting plan of the [Fast and Furious] series. New characters and actors may be added." The agent said without knowing how to word it. After all, this The background of new characters and actors is a bit too big.

Vin Diesel didn't understand the seriousness of the situation at this time, and said confidently: "If it's not that the old people in the crew are thinking of becoming superior, then I won't be afraid, he's just a newcomer..."

“Universal Pictures is expected to invite Zhang Nan to star in the next [Fast and Furious 7] through director Lin Yishan. No, there may not even be a [Fast and Furious 7] project. I heard people say that the entire [Fast and Furious 1] "The Fast and the Furious" series seems to have to follow the example of the "Jurassic Park" series and change its name to "Fast and Furious World ", which was proposed by Universal Pictures executives at the meeting." The agent relayed it What he just heard on the phone.

After listening to this, Vin Diesel only felt that his scalp was not covered with grass and was a little cold and numb.

To be honest, Vin Diesel didn't think that Universal Pictures would find a superstar to join the "Fast and Furious" series after Paul Walker came to heaven.

After all, the box office performance of the entire [Fast and Furious] series in recent years has obviously been developing in a good direction.

Introducing strong reinforcements and increasing the cast lineup of a series are also routine operations.

But Vin Diesel feels that such an operation is unlikely, and even if it involves bringing in strong reinforcements, all Vin Diesel can imagine is two Toms and one Will, or maybe Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, At the level of Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr.

Vin Diesel believes that he can still compete with these people based on his experience in the "Fast and Furious" series, and he has a high possibility of winning in the cast competition. But... Zhang Nan!

"Is this called a change? Do you have any misunderstandings about the words "a little bit" and "change"? Vin Diesel's mentality was a little broken.

Without it.

Faced with Zhang Nan's position increase, Vin Diesel had no idea of ​​winning, let alone the probability of winning in the crew's position contest.

How to compete?

The other party is a completely crushing existence!

In terms of status, the gap between the two is as vast as a world of difference.

In terms of seniority in the film crew, Zhang Nan also made a cameo appearance in the movie when she was in "Fast and Furious 1". Although it was just a background role, most of the follow-up films involved her own woman being paid to appear in the film.

But it is precisely because of this situation that Zhang Nan's terror is even more obvious!

"Actually... it's good to be the younger brother in the No. 2 position. After all, that's Zhang Nan! How many people want to be his younger brother, but they don't have a chance!

And you look at Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr.

A man who worked as a pawn for Zhang Nan became the protagonist of the follow-up series of "Pirates of the Caribbean", which is the world's top series with a box office of over one billion US dollars.

Another one is taking advantage of Zhang Nan. He frequently casts Zhang Nan as a guest star in the "Iron Man" series in which he stars, and borrows the name of Zhang Nan's box office mascot. Now he is also the actor of "Iron Man 3" with a global box office of billion US dollars. The protagonist's status in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is also well-known.

Being a pawn for Zhang Nan is not a shame, but it is an opportunity that comes only once and for all. Are you right, Fan? "The agent combined the facts and analyzed it, and Vin Diesel was stunned for a while.

a long time.

Vin Diesel clenched his potato fist and hit it on the coffee table. When his agent thought that Vin Diesel was going to make some angry words that were beyond his control.

What Vin Diesel spouted was: "I am determined to be Zhang Nan's number one pawn. No one can stop me. Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. can't stop me. That's what I said."

His agent: "..."

With such a blabbering tone, I thought you were going to be so angry that you couldn't stop talking.

As a result, this happened.

And your lines sound so familiar to me!

It has a similar tone to the lines in a certain Xiangjiang movie - Ah Wei is dead, you picked the idol, Duan Kun, I'm sure, even Jesus can't protect him, that's what I said.

It's just that the tone is the same, but the meaning of the words is completely opposite.

However, the agent is still very satisfied with Vin Diesel's statement.

After all, confronting Zhang Nan directly is not something anyone with brains can do.

Several Hollywood giants couldn't hold off Zhang Nan even if they joined forces. You, a young actor who can't get the leading male role in a crew under Universal Pictures, let alone nonsense.

"Let's discuss how to cooperate well with Zhang Nan when the crew starts filming. Maybe if we perform well, we can make a few more films in the "Fast and Furious World" series in the future. Zhang Nan can learn to do what he did in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. Just give up and walk away, and you can be like Johnny Depp and get into the position smoothly." The agent began to think about the future.

Vin Diesel also looks forward to this future, but he still feels that it is not enough.

My goal is to be Zhang Nan’s No. 1 Pony. How can one in [World of Fast and Furious] be enough to tie him with Johnny Depp in [Pirates of the Caribbean]?

"Maybe we can also think about the [006] series. After all, they are all action movies." Vin Diesel added.
