Paul Walker has officially announced that after filming "Fast \u0026 Furious 7" he will be leaving the set to end his career as Brian O'Connor.

Originally, this matter should be kept secret, but the development of the matter has not been able to conceal the success after all.

After the traffic accident, when Paul was in bed, the crew had to consider all kinds of possibilities, because there were many variables in Paul's condition, which forced the screenwriters to consider other endings for the movie, which naturally included Paul. Unfortunately, there is no ending that can escape the scythe of death, so conceiving a perfect ending for Brian O'Connor has become a major problem for the screenwriters.

Later, Paul almost died and recovered smoothly, and the crew returned to the track, ready to complete the follow-up shooting according to the original idea; but did not expect that Paul decided to leave after careful consideration, even though Universal Pictures has repeatedly Persuasion didn't change his mind either, which forced the writers to revert to an ending that had been refrigerated: a formal farewell to Brian O'Connor in the film's finale.

The changes to the script naturally caused a lot of speculation within the crew.

Seeing that the speculation of the matter is going to become more and more outrageous, in order to avoid infighting in the crew, and in order to avoid confusion in the team, it is even possible to shift all the blame to Diesel, and then detonate all the mines that have been hidden in the crew for a long time, Paul has to. Take the initiative to come forward to clarify misunderstandings, and tell all the staff in the future to avoid riots and confusion.

As a result, the matter has evolved from a state of secrecy to a semi-public state; further, the matter has come to this point, Paul and Universal Pictures reached a consensus after negotiation, and simply announced it to the public in one go, taking the initiative to explain rather than passively waiting for the revelations. , to kill all the bad things that may happen in the follow-up filming work of the crew in the cradle in advance.

The semi-public state becomes the fully-public state.

Although Paul and Universal have gone to great lengths to explain all the twists and turns, as Paul expected, he lived as Brian O'Connor for thirteen years, and he was deeply connected to the crew and the branches of his life. There is no way to pull the branches and vines away immediately, and the relationship between closeness and estrangement has led to an inevitable position problem; what's more, in the past two years, Diesel has caused chaos within the crew in order to control power. Crisis can be felt:

After Paul leaves, will the crew be controlled by Diesel?

Here's the problem. Diesel is neither Renly nor Paul. He is definitely not a big-hearted hand-slinger. On the contrary, he is the type who needs to emphasize his presence all the time. Further, he needs to really feel himself. control, which also means that the crew cannot be calm.

Some people like Diesel, of course they like it; but there are more people who don't. Some people like Paul, some people reject Diesel, some people want to be alone, and some people support Dwayne Johnson or Michelle Rodri Gertz or Tyrese Gibson and others, so what's going to happen now?

Since the success of "Fast and Furious 4", the crew has always maintained a "Diesel vs Paul" balance, even Renly and even Dawn, they have not been able to break this situation, Diesel The prestige check and balance between Paul and Paul has also become the focus of the crew's balance, but now the balance has been broken, and no one can predict what will happen next——

Will Diesel bloodbath the crew? Will Diesel rule out dissidents? Will Diesel take over? Going a step further, will Diesel, who is already increasing his role, turn the movie into his own one-man show? So, where are the other characters and where will the story go? What is the future of the franchise? Without the constraints, will Diesel let go of his hands and feet uncontrollably? Is the crew about to usher in a comprehensive reshuffle?

One question mark after another began to surface, but no one could explain it, and even Diesel's cronies couldn't predict the next move.

Everything is unknown.

But apparently, these concerns have proved unnecessary. Ordinary staff have not been able to see the high level of strategizing at the management level. Power struggle is obviously not a "black and white" math problem. After the balance of "Paul vs Diesel" is broken, there may still be many changes in the power structure. variable.

For example, the entire crew was completely reshuffled, power was completely redistributed, and even Diesel became the target of being attacked and weakened.

Some say it's a game between Renly and Paul; others say it's a move that Universal has tacitly agreed to -- and it's not as simple as it seems.

Obviously, Universal Pictures is also aware of the fact that Diesel may be the dominant family, which will also change the overall power pattern of the "Fast and Furious" crew. So, what does this mean? The crew of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is the best portrayal.

Because of the absolute strength of Johnny Depp, especially when Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom have both withdrawn from the project, this has also made Johnny's salary inflated like a snowball, and may even need to occupy the crew Fifty percent or more of the cost budget.

Under such circumstances, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Disney to make ends meet, and the fourth installment in 2011 fell far short of expectations, so that the fifth installment of the series was always in a difficult stage. But the real troublemaker is Disney, not Johnny, because Johnny is already invincible with the recognition of Captain Jack Sparrow, and only Disney will be troubled

Difficult to choose in the dilemma of trade-offs.

Does the whole development line sound familiar? "The Fast and the Furious" is what it is now.

Paul's departure—corresponding to the exits of Kayla and Orlando, the rise of Diesel—corresponding to Johnny's dominance, the next thing is predictable, Diesel can rely on his own to Dominic- The popularity and recognition of the role of Toledo to complete the control of the crew; and Diesel is more ambitious than Johnny, Johnny is just asking for pay, but Diesel also asks for control of the crew, he hopes Follow in the footsteps of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

Clearly, Universal didn't want to get itself into Disney's woes.

For the insiders, they can see a series of strategies by Renly at the beginning of the year, forcing Universal Pictures to make a choice; but further, high-level insiders can also see that Universal Pictures actually acquiesced in this incident. With Renly's impetus, the shuffling was completed smoothly, redistributing all power over the entire series.

The game of power and interests is far from simple.

Finally, the "Fast and Furious" crew completed the shuffle.

The crew that is currently preparing to shoot the seventh film still has not changed much. They must complete the re-shooting work intensively, otherwise they may not be able to catch up with the release schedule next year. This is the top priority; but the top of the crew can already feel the power Scheduled frequently.

Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson are all set to join Vin Diesel as the joint team, according to rumors. A member of the producers; if nothing else, they will all be eligible for box office dividends, of which Jason and Tyrese are both 1.5%, Michelle is 2%, and Dawn and Diesel is all three percent.

Relatively speaking, some reductions have been made in terms of salary figures, and only Diesel still maintains the level of 10 million, which shows his specialness - after all, he is still a veteran, and he is also an absolute protagonist; but it is worth noting that, Actors such as Luda Criss, Luke Evans and Elsa-pataky who have starred in previous films will all be boosting their pay figures.

This also means that the main actors have received more attention. If Diesel wants to protest, then he must face the anger of the entire crew, and even the anger of Hollywood's major brokerage companies.

That's not all.

Because the seventh film is still in full swing, Universal Pictures did not rashly start making plans for the next film. Everything is still in the discussion stage; but it is certain that Universal Pictures is thinking about it. Inviting big-name actors to join the eighth film to play the big villain is a consistent practice for borrowing from the "007" series.

Regardless of whether this plan works or not, Universal's plan to further reduce the influence of Diesel's crew is already a certainty.

After reshuffling, the crew has now presented another look:

Dwayne Johnson is good enough to go head-to-head with Diesel, he also has Jason's support, and weak actors like Luke Evans and Elsa Pataky are getting closer to them ; Michelle is on her own as a representative of actresses, and her relationship with Diesel is seemingly close but actually antagonistic, because they are both fighting for more drama weight.

On top of that, Tyrese Gibson has also joined the producer ranks, which is a betrayal for Diesel--

Tyrese has always been Diesel's most staunch supporter, but Diesel did not applaud Tyrese's promotion. On the contrary, he believed that Tyrese was dividing up his own interests and weakening it. His own power, such a betrayal, caused a quarrel between Diesel and Tyrese. Not only was Tyrese unable to become an ally of Diesel, but he was also isolated.

Now, Diesel is in trouble.

Originally, Diesel thought this was his own battlefield, and he still took the initiative, especially Paul's departure, which was worth applauding and celebrating. But before there was time to cheer, things had evolved into a different look.

In the blink of an eye, Diesel was already standing in the abyss, his situation was becoming more and more difficult and more dangerous, but he still didn't know what was going on.
