"Two billion dollars."

"Twenty...cough, wait, cough...what...? Two billion? Are you sure the unit is 'billion'?" Paul choked on his own saliva and coughed violently. When he got up, his entire face was flushed red, like a well-ripened shrimp, but his eyes still stared at Renly in disbelief, trying to verify further.

Renly smiled and nodded in affirmation.

Mei Duo, who was sitting beside her, was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, so she stared at Ren Li blankly, the stunned expression made Ren Li laugh, "Mei Duo, close your mouth, the flies will fly in. I'm done." But Meadows still didn't respond, and finally Renly raised his right hand, dragged Meadows' chin, and closed it gently.

Paul calmed down a bit, but his brain was still a mess, "You mean, this is just the first start-up capital? I mean, I know it's not easy for a production company, what it takes to make a movie The capital and investment is far beyond imagination, but...is this just the first start-up capital?"

Paul is an actor himself, and has also served as a producer. Naturally, he understands the specific process of the film production industry, but at this time, he was still shocked and attacked.

Five million dollars could set up an independent film production company, and now Renly needs... two billion?

Renly nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "Are you interested in learning about the development blueprint of Sisyphus Pictures?" Only by understanding Renly's idea can you truly understand that $2 billion is only the first step. .

"No..." Paul paused, as if thinking about Renly's proposal, before repeating, "No no. Never mind. Even a five million dollar proposal would give me a headache; and now It's a two billion proposal, and things are obviously more complicated, and reading the proposal just confuses me more."

"But at least you should think about it, it's not a trivial matter." Renly returned to the topic just now, and before Paul could defend himself, he went on to explain, "Paul, I know your business management. Not much interest, even the original proposal to be a producer gave you a headache, and so did I. However, the Sisyphus Film business requires us to spend more energy, are you sure you want to be involved? "

According to Paul's character, he is bound to hesitate, at least hesitant, but he didn't expect it, but he said directly, "Remember our last topic: Should I continue to star in 'Fast and Furious'?"

"I have already decided that after I leave the hospital, I will join the crew and finish the final filming of the seventh film, and then I will officially terminate the contract with Universal Pictures and leave the series." Paul stated his decision in an understatement. .

Unexpected, but within reason.

Meadows looked at Paul with a face full of surprise, and even Renly showed an unexpected look-for Paul, the "Fast and the Furious" series is not just a set of film works, but also a spiritual sustenance , those crew members are his family, and the content of the movie is his passion/passion, but now, he has decided to leave and officially say goodbye to the past, which is not an easy decision.

However, Paul was extraordinarily free and easy, and said with a smile, "I can continue to stay on the crew, I believe, they very much want me to stay, and I can become a legend and keep my name and the series together forever; But Renly, if I stay there, I'll never be able to start over, right?"

Paul stared at Renly, those bright and sunny eyes so scorching hot that they fell heavily on Renly's shoulders, and then Renly nodded softly in agreement: break and stand, don't break, don't stand. This is the simplest truth, but not everyone can do it.

Because human beings are greedy animals, this is the nature and nature, always thinking about the best of both worlds, always thinking about the blessings of all people, and always refusing to let go - why can't Paul be both in "Fast and Furious" and open up a new career Woolen cloth? Why did Paul have to give up "Fast and Furious" to be able to open up a whole new world?

The question is, why not?

yeah why?

Not just Paul, look at Vin Diesel, look at Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, and others, they have all been brilliant because of the success of a role, but also because of The success of this role is tied hands and feet. They will never be able to find a "fresh" start without severing the strong bond between themselves and their characters.

Most of the actors in the Marvel series are like that.

It's also why Renly was reluctant to take on Marvel roles in the first place - or so did dc. There are gains and losses. Behind the gains, you must face misses and losses. If you choose a superhero or a series of movies, you must give up your own personality; and if you choose your own personality, you are likely to miss those tides. A tidal wave of popularity.

Now, Paul again faces a choice.

"And I want to start over," Paul said quietly.

Behind such a simple sentence, it is too complicated to start - no one can really understand how much this accident has affected Paul's life trajectory, not even Renly. Only Paul himself knew that all those vicissitudes and confusions were hidden in this simple word.

Meadows still couldn't react and fell into a brief blank state.

until now

Now, Meadows still remembers the first time she saw her father perform on the big screen.

Although Paul never missed Meadows' childhood, Meadows didn't have much impression of Paul's work, and both his father and mother kept silent - occasionally mentioning that Paul was an office clerk who needed to travel frequently. Hawaii is a place with simple folk customs and simple life. The Internet is developed but it is impossible to keep children in the room. Meado still prefers to play outdoors. Outdoor activities such as surfing, mountain climbing and rock climbing are full of her life. This made Meaduo never have the chance to know about his father's fame.

So later, when Meaduo accidentally heard the name "Paul Walker" from her classmates, she foolishly joked with everyone, "Hey, that actor has the same name as my father", and then a group of their friends Still there, pretending to be Meadow is the heroine of "The Princess Diaries", accidentally discovering that her father is actually famous actor Paul Walker, and then triggering a romantic and wonderful Hollywood trip ... and so on.

While fantasizing and joking, Mei Duo and her friends excitedly went to the cinema, ready to watch "Fast and Furious 4" - Mei Duo was only nine years old at the time, and the movie rating was pg -13, which also means that they are not allowed to watch the movie. As a result, a group of little guys sneaked into the screening hall in the dark, and the thrilling story is still vivid in my mind.

But more importantly, when Meadows saw Paul on the big screen, that moment is still vivid to this day.

The "Fast and the Furious" series is obviously more than just a set of movies for Meadow; but now, Paul has decided to officially leave the series?

Paul seemed to have sensed Meadow's surprise and astonishment, and he threw a shallow smile at his daughter, "I hope to be able to watch Meado grow up, watch her stumble and fall to the ground, and watch her recover. Stand up and create a world with your own hands." The simple words are touching, but that's not all. "I also hope to become an actor and regain the enthusiasm that I started with. Maybe I will not become a master with outstanding acting skills, but I can still perform a different life on film."

For the sake of Meadow and for himself, Paul made the decision to turn around and leave.

Mei Duo met her father's line of sight, and a thin layer of warmth appeared in her eyes. She bit her lower lip lightly, and nodded her head in affirmation.

Paul's smile bloomed, and his eyes returned to Renly. "So, I decided to join. No matter how much risk it takes, I'm fine."

Renly could sense Paul's firm belief, and he didn't say more, just nodded his head in agreement.

"Looking back, I need to meet with my accountant to see how much assets I have on hand. Over the years, all my expenses have been concentrated in the garage, maybe, I can transfer some of my collections to my friends... "Speaking of this, Paul noticed the surprise in Renly's eyes, and he quickly explained.

"It's not selling iron, it's just sharing with friends. You know, for us car lovers, being able to meet friends who appreciate good cars is also one of the values ​​of collection. I have more than 50 cars in my collection. In the future It's bound to not run out so frequently, and Meadows will definitely not agree."

No need to say more, Renly and Paul could see Meadow put on a "Hyarch" look, as if to say: If you dare to race again, you can do it?

Renly and Paul both laughed.

"So, I can transfer some of my collection to my friends. The value of a good car should be reflected on the road, not in the garage. In addition, I will organize some working capital funds, and finally I will write you one. Check." Paul said simply, "Compared to your assets, I may not have much here, but at least, I can help get closer to the goal of two billion."

Renly could feel Paul's full support, and without much words, the thanks seemed pale, their friendship far surpassed those polite words, so Renly chuckled and joked, "This is bad. , The responsibility is getting bigger and bigger. Originally, I just thought, it doesn't matter if I go bankrupt, I don't care too much anyway. But now the problem is serious, for Mei Duo, I should also roll up my sleeves and work hard. "

Not for Paul, but for Meadow...'s dowry?

"Renly!" Looking at Renly and Paul who were overjoyed, Meadows rolled her eyes and exclaimed.
