Chapter 907 It's still brothers and sisters

At first, Matthew's plan was to classify the fourth, fifth and sixth parts of "Fast and Furious" into a unified trilogy, but the shooting plan submitted by Justin Lin, the story of the sixth and seventh parts, and the villain was even more of a pair of brothers.

To be precise, in the sixth part, the racing family made small ones, but the big ones jumped out in the seventh part to make small ones stand out.

Matthew once watched the "Fast and Furious" series, especially the seventh part where Paul Walker encountered misfortune, and was very impressed. Even now, I still remember the general plot.

He doesn't know the scripts created by Justin Lin and Chris Morgan, but the main plot is very similar to those two before.

The story is in line with each other, and the style of the best video should be the same.

This is the main reason why Matthew asked Justin Lin to withdraw after directing the seventh part.

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

Of course, Matthew would not talk about these things with Justin Lin, or even mention them. Naturally, professionals are responsible for these things.

If it really doesn't work, I can only find other directors.

Justin Lin didn't think about how old he was, and showed a helpless smile, "I didn't expect that I was tied up by the story I participated in writing. I would have written a separate story for the sixth part if I had known it."

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

In fact, he knew that Justin Lin Xiu was on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to try other types of topics.

"Okay!" Justin Lin no longer hesitated. Matthew gave him a generous salary and also helped him, so he did not interfere with the director's normal work. There are not many such investors and producers in the industry. "I will rest after filming the seventh part."

He then asked, "Is it not good for a villain to be a pair of brothers? Why should I change it to a sibling?"

When Matthew just read the script, he combined with the last part of "Fast and Furious" he had seen, he had this idea. After thinking about it during this period, he felt that it was feasible.

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

Justin Lin nodded, "So, I and Chris Morgan have specially strengthened the villain in the script."

Matthew pointed to the script and said, "In the sixth part, the villain is very strong. A British man also has a strong team. Although he has embarked on the evil path, they still reflect the concept of tiring logs. In the end, he was still taken away by us."

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

Hearing this, Matthew couldn't help but think of Gal Gadot. The character of Gal Gadot fell out of the car in the sixth part and did not appear in the seventh part. But he remembered that in the gossip report of "Wonder Woman" that he had watched at that time, Gal Gadot participated in the filming of the seventh part. For some reason, he finally cut all her shots off.

Perhaps it has something to do with Gal Gadot being confirmed to play Wonder Woman at that time?

Once upon a time, Gil Gadot played Gisele was just a soy sauce character, but now he is almost the heroine.

It is better to kill the male and female protagonists of a commercial movie. Not every movie is called "Titanic".

"Let's do that." Matthew said for a moment, "Don't move the sixth part for the time being. Let's talk about the situation in the seventh part. At that time, which actor leaves the crew, will let his role be gloriously lost."

There is still a lot of room for modifications to the script later.

The racing family cannot be maintained forever. Not to mention anything else, if the sequels continue to be filmed, the main actors' pay will inevitably rise. The pay for so many actors is high to a certain extent, even Matthew and David Ellison have to consider the risk.

An actor is not a character in the film, so it is impossible for him to give up the idea of ​​increasing his pay by shouting that he was tired of logging.

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

Justin Lin then brought back the topic of his slander, "Where is the female villain in the seventh part?"

"The villain in the sixth part is very powerful. Will it cause aesthetic fatigue if you repeat it again in the seventh part?" Matthew must consider this issue. After all, without Paul Walker's words, the promotional and emotional effects will be greatly reduced. "Aesthetic fatigue may bring about a sharp decline in box office."

"It's possible." Justin Lin believed that he was far from being in the market.

Matthew slowly knocked on the armrest of the chair and said, "We must bring fresher excitement to the audience."

How many people would think that without Paul Walker, "Fast and Furious 7" would be so popular? So many people would watch it?

Just like Heath Ledger, no one should underestimate the propaganda effect brought by the dead.

He took a series of preventive measures and believed that Paul Walker would not be surprised. The film must look for new selling points based on the inherent logging tiring.

Matthew has watched "Fast and Furious 7". Now that I think about that movie, it is not difficult to find that I can't talk about this movie objectively, especially the ending paragraph: You can't help but think that a living person on the screen has left us.

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

What is the name of that song? He had no feelings for English songs at that time and could not remember the melody. He only knew that when the two cars drove on two roads, his emotions were a little excited when the music started.

It is said that those with rich emotions have shed tears.

"Fast and Furious 7" is definitely not the best one in the series, but it is definitely the most touching and tear-jerking one.

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

Think about it, how powerful the publicity effect these used to have had. Not to mention those who often go to the theater, the beneficiaries of pirated versions like him were bombed into the theater.

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

"Uh..." Justin Lin scratched his nose, "It sounds like it's good."

"The female villain is expected to bring a completely different viewing experience." Matthew said the more he thought this idea was good, "What do you think?"

Justin Lin nodded, "You can try to modify the script of the seventh part first."

Matthew is only responsible for putting forward ideas, "You discuss with Chris Morgan to see how the character is set."

"If the villain is set as a woman, we need a strong actress who can support this role." Justin Lin Silu is very fast, "The male villain in the sixth part also needs a strong male actor."

He glanced at Matthew, "It doesn't look worse than you."

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

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

"Jason Statham." Matthew gave the answer, "After more than two years ago, I had a verbal agreement with Guo Da...Jason Statham to invite him to play an opponent."

"This is a good candidate." Justin Lin agreed. "Jason Statham has similar settings to the character, both of whom are both British."

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

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

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

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

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

When Matthew thought of changing the role, he actually had a candidate and said, "I will contact Charlize Theron and convince her to play this role as much as possible."

"Okay!" Justin Lin agreed again.

Although Charlize Theron has few works in the past two years, he has a deep impression of Charlize Theron's past. His cold expression and a 2.8-meter aura seem to be innate. It is most appropriate to play a revenge villain. He has a burly figure far more than ordinary actresses, which is also a natural advantage.

This is simply a template for a naturally powerful female villain.

Suddenly, Justin Lin realized something and said with a question, "The age of Jason Statham and Charlize Theron and their appearance..."

Matthew couldn't help but pat his forehead. He ignored it and immediately said, "It's better to change the setting to brother and sister."

Isn’t feminist power rising now? It just so happened that my elder brother was beaten and couldn’t take care of himself, but he had to rely on his younger sister to seek justice.

"What about... what about the appearance?" Justin Lin was still a little confused. "They have a big gap."

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

This is the movie. It is normal for brothers and sisters to look different. Unless they are in the same game, the brothers and sisters in which movie do not have a big difference in appearance?

Besides, Jason Statham and Charlize Theron are not uncommon, both of them have beautiful faces!
