Chapter 321 To make a movie, build a city! (fourth more)

"Hey! This time it's my turn finally!"

This guy, Wen Diesel, still has that big bald head, but his spirit has completely changed.

Excited, really excited.

In the previous "Happy Death Day", this guy just made a cameo appearance as a school football star.

This is a benefit. In American universities, the school's football star is actually the most popular among girls.

why?

There are actually many factors here.

First, we must first make it clear that playing rugby does not earn as much as playing basketball.

Second, although they don’t earn much, there is another important factor that makes them very popular, that is, the average life expectancy of rugby players.

Yes, most of them died very early.

Many girls here in the US are very realistic and know how to settle accounts.

I have a rugby star as my husband. As long as I can play ball, I don’t earn as much as the NBA. However, my husband died early.

This money will not become your own soon.

Well, maybe a lot of people don't think that way.

However, the role of Wen Diesel was indeed arranged by Takeshi Iwata, and there are always beautiful women around.

Dude, you are so funny!

Vin Diesel, this big bald head, was about to pay his respects.

Takeshi Iwata just smiled at this, in fact, Wen Diesel should really thank himself.

It should be said that if there is no him Iwata Takeshi, then, this "Fast and Furious 2" will have nothing to do with Wen Diesel at all.

According to the original version, which is the original second episode.

The plot has nothing to do with the first episode.

Of course, the protagonist is still Paul Walker, and two more important black characters in later episodes have also been added.

But, no Wendysser, no logging tired.

This is really the second episode of the original, that's all.

In fact, as far as this series is concerned, in the original time and space, if everything was developing according to ordinary.

Then, Takeshi Iwata can almost conclude that there are at most two films in this series.

It's over, just two episodes, no more.

Because of the second episode, I really pulled my hips.

Let's put it this way, the second episode of "The Fast and the Furious" is not without its highlights.

It can be clearly seen that because the first part made money, more big scenes were used in the second part, especially in racing.

definitely spent a lot of money, added a lot of drag racing scenes, and a big chaotic scene where many cars started together.

If you just watch drag racing, then this second movie is indeed more enjoyable than the first one.

However, the plot of this second movie is very problematic.

This is very problematic, and it can be seen from the box office.

That's right, fans who are familiar with this "Fast and Furious" series must know that the second film has a higher box office than the first.

But, here are the details.

The devil is hidden in the details.

The global box office of the first film is 200 million, and the second is 230 million, which seems to be an extra $30 million at the box office, but this is a global box office.

In terms of the North American box office, the first film is as high as 140 million, while the second is only 120 million.

To put it bluntly, the North American box office is not as good as the first, and you must know that the international promotion of the first is not as strong as the second, and the second is indeed a higher box office outside North America.

But in fact, during the global release period, the film arrangement was obviously more powerful than the first one.

In short, the 'efficiency' of the box office is not high.

Also, there is a huge key factor.

The cost of the first part was $38 million.

What about the second part?

doubled directly.

$76 million!

So, it is very clear that the second part is lost, and the loss is quite miserable.

It is also fortunate that it is Universal, the company has a solid foundation, and the Chinese director appeared, and he was able to pick up this work.

However, three years have passed between the third and the second, and it is clear that Universal is also bleeding.

Of course, the third part actually lost even more. After all, this is a rumor, and there is nothing to do with the protagonist.

But anyway, Fast and Furious 2 is hardly a successful movie, even from a commercial point of view.

So, what will Takeshi Iwata do this time?

Now that he has directly retrieved Wen Diesel, it is obvious that he wants to raise the flag of 'logging tired'!

It's just that this time he's going to shoot, but it's an unusual second part.

With Wen Diesel, of course, Keanu Reeves will not be worse.

At the moment, Reeves, who is already quite popular, has begun to grow a beard on weekdays.

"Recently, have you got a dog?"

"Oh? How did you know that? Iwata?"

"nothing."

"Oh, I see, it's that mysterious eastern power, right?"

"Hahaha…"

"What are you laughing at? That mysterious Eastern power is really mysterious."

"That's right, listen to what you have to say, it's like listening to something."

"What did you say?"

"I don't know what I'm talking about either."

Simply, Iwata Takeshi actually played a future meme.

What he didn't expect was that Keanu Reeves even played tricks with him.

The mysterious power of the East, does this guy have such a deep memory?

In this way, being cocooned and bound belongs to yes.

However, since he has a dog, in the future... it's better not to touch his dog anyway.

Keanu Reeves will of course continue the role in the previous film this time, and will he continue his undercover career this time?

"Hey! Don't forget me!"

America's sweetheart arrived as promised. She didn't get Iwata Takeshi before, let alone Iwata Takeshi's heart.

But now there are roles and big-budget movies, which is not bad.

In short, the United States is very open to matters between men and women.

"Of course I didn't forget, you are still with your brother."

American Sweetheart stood by Wen Diesel's side, and the two of them seemed to be back in drag racing again.

Then, let alone others, right?

Gina also came, her **** lips are really uncontrollable.

Fortunately, today is not the day to discharge.

"Director, what's the story like this time?"

Needless to say, everyone was curious.

But Takeshi Iwata was not in a hurry this time, he was waiting for someone.

This time, the "Fast and Furious 2" crew reunited in a large warehouse in Los Angeles.

It's like in the first part, they were working on those engine scenes.

And this time, it seems that this warehouse is bigger, but those who are interested will soon find out that this warehouse seems to be abandoned.

Then there must be a deep meaning this time?

Waiting is very tormenting, even if everyone is laughing and laughing.

So, I can't help but look everywhere.

But all I saw was all kinds of creepy things.

There are spider webs with huge spiders on them.

There are also traces left by some animals. Probably this is a paradise for wild cats and dogs.

Plus, that's a lot of scrap metal.

What was this place doing before?

metal processing?

Steel Plant?

Everyone doesn't know, and Takeshi Iwata doesn't say it either.

Fortunately, the person who was waiting has finally arrived.

"Hi! How are you!"

The leader was tall and handsome, with a pair of sunglasses covering his face.

Isn’t Fa-ge or who?

And then, behind him is a beautiful woman.

She is Mei Yanfang!

That's right, Takeshi Iwata invited Sister Fang over this time.

So, just the two of them?

Soon, there were a few more Japanese in this abandoned place.

One of them is a little older, but his eyes are so sharp that people can't tell his actual age.

is the number one action star in Japan right now, Shinichi Chiba!

Chiba Shinichi is here, and of course his beloved disciple, Sanada Hiroyuki, is here.

The presence of this pair of master and apprentice naturally caused everyone to shout.

Iwata Takeshi's business in the United States has achieved good results. Asian movies, especially kung fu movies, are very popular.

Japan's sword and halberd films are naturally discovered by many fans, and it feels like a new world has been opened.

Chiba Shinichi was originally a high-ranking celebrity, and now he is even more famous, and he is very happy.

But there was another person, a little shy.

She is kohhy.

This female rock star and friend of Takeshi Iwata was invited again to participate in this Hollywood movie.

In the last movie, she was mainly engaged in music. Does this one have to play a role?

Wait, Brother Fa, Sister Fang, and Chiba Shinichi's apprentice, plus kohhy, what exactly is Takeshi Iwata filming for the second "Fast and the Furious"?

Soon everyone was acquainted with each other, and after joking, Iwata Takeshi didn't delay and came directly to the center of everyone.

"Everyone! The plot of the second part of "The Fast and the Furious" this time, my setting is a story that happened in Japan."

Japan? !

Everyone was taken aback, even Chiba Shinichi and Kohhy were taken aback.

Why is it set in Japan?

Moreover, there is a particularly obvious problem here!

Wen Diesel touched his big bald head, and then said with a puzzled face: "In Japan, should we buy air tickets? How much does it cost from Los Angeles to Tokyo?"

It must be admitted that air tickets in the United States are indeed not expensive.

However, this product really points out a key!

We are here in Los Angeles, the City of Angels, not Tokyo, not Japan.

You, Takeshi Iwata, are going to shoot Japanese background stories, so why not go to Japan?

It’s okay, we can start, let’s go, let’s fly.

However, Takeshi Iwata laughed, he said so.

"Who said you have to go to Japan? Our movie is shot here, right in Hollywood."

After finished speaking, he ignored the men and women who were already in a state of confusion.

Iwata Takeshi seemed to circle around with his finger, leading everyone's attention.

"A 'Tokyo City' will be built here!"

Good guy, so bold!

Everyone was stunned, and they were all figuring out how much it would cost.
