"It's just a second-tier actor, what to wear there."

"No one cares about your leaving, no one even knows about Brian O'Connor, okay?"

"Please don't add dramas by yourself, just leave when you leave, and what's the matter with posting videos to find a sense of existence?"

"Finally left, I don't think that series of movies can be watched without you."

"It's such a fuss about the little things, and it really comes from Hollywood."

"It's hype again. Knowing you were in a car accident, next one."

"Isn't it still dead? Why do you look like you are parting from life and death?"

In the Internet age of the 21st century, it is always the case that the blurred faces hidden behind computers and mobile phones have brought negative and dark emotions to the extreme, and attacked one by one distorted and savagely, seeming to take everything in themselves. The pain and hatred of the people are superimposed on the Internet, and then viciously speculate about everything. Only in this way can I save myself from the disaster, but turn the world into a powder keg.

Even in the face of Paul Walker, who had just escaped from a car accident not long ago, all kinds of negative remarks were placed on him. It seems that all the grievances are waiting for Paul to die like this - but even if It really happened, and they didn't care at all. It really doesn't cost them anything because the online world hurts them.

But as the classic line in "The Seven Deadly Sins" says, "Hemingway once said that this world is a beautiful place and worth fighting for. I only believe the second half of the sentence."

The internet age is not hopelessly bad either, seeing the negative side, but also seeing the positive side.

After Paul officially announced his decision in the form of a video, a group of friends led by Renly reposted the video and expressed their support with practical actions; and Renly's tweet clearly stated his position:

It has nothing to do with Paul's fame or the success of "Fast and Furious". For him, Paul Walker is a very, very important friend. After a major life turning point in an accident, he supports all of Paul's decisions and sincerely looks forward to seeing Paul again.

That's the really meaningful part, for life, and for friendship.

These voices of support also spread through online platforms, and with Renly's strong influence and appeal, the overall situation was turned around.

Because of the actual support of a lot of friends, this also made Paul's "farewell statement" get a lot of support. In the negative voices of cursing and contempt, Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey, Jay - Reynolds and other talk show hosts who are active on social network platforms have expressed their best wishes, which really brought the mainstream speech on the Internet back to the right track, filled with a warm and moving atmosphere.

Choosing to say goodbye, Paul is most worried about hurting the crew and loyal fans who really like the series, but now, all worries and fears can be temporarily put down, this will be a good farewell. What's more, this is by no means a goodbye.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of heated discussions, a small voice emerged:

"What about Universal Pictures?"

What is Universal Pictures' attitude towards Paul's decision to leave?

Although it is said that Universal Pictures has always maintained a proactive attitude after Paul's accident; but some people still remember that when Diesel and Paul, Diesel and Dawn had internal conflicts, Universal Pictures Always on Diesel's side, and even because of the Renly incident, Diesel and Paul had an unpleasant relationship. So, what role did Universal Pictures play this time when Paul took the initiative to leave the crew? Are they fanning the flames behind their backs?

In fact, Paul took the initiative to release a video explaining the ins and outs, and the most important part of the reason was to clarify the misunderstanding - his choice to leave the crew was definitely not a conspiracy of Universal Pictures, but he left voluntarily.

Although there have been a lot of unhappiness between Paul and Universal Pictures in the past two years, it still won't affect the friendship between Paul and the crew, and he doesn't want his decision to bring the crew back.

For Paul, his love and support for the "Fast and Furious" series has never changed, and he sincerely hopes that the audience can focus on the seventh part and say goodbye to Brian O'Connor. , also continue to support the "Fast \u0026 Furious" series - everyone knows that even if Paul leaves, this super lucrative series will not stop, and they will need to move forward after all.

The bottom line is that the memories of the past are good, easy to get together and good to go. Paul would rather choose to remember those good times than turn around and leave full of resentment. His personal feud with Diesel shouldn't affect the rest of the crew, and Paul hopes viewers will continue to pay attention to the Fast and the Furious series anyway.

But Hollywood is a place of right and wrong. A little speculation can turn into a conspiracy, and negative news can always easily breed here. Universal Pictures, which has been full of flaws in the past two years, has naturally not been able to escape the attack, and even if Paul has repeatedly clarified, it is still not completely calm.

Before the negative remarks spread further, Universal Pictures also issued an official announcement.

The content of the announcement itself is not much new, it just emphasizes that they regret Paul's decision to leave. The crew is still very much looking forward to Paul's continued role in the eighth part-they still won't give up on persuading Paul.

Intend, and keep an open mind at all times to wait for Paul's return, but if Paul really decides to turn around, they will also send their most sincere blessings.

In the final analysis, Universal Pictures still emphasized their innocence and expressed their position. They repeatedly persuaded Paul but still failed to make Paul change his mind. They will not give up their efforts in the future, but the decision is entirely in Paul's hands. This is not them. things that can be changed.

At least, Universal Pictures has done enough, but compared to Paul's sincerity, Universal Pictures' announcement seems to be quite satisfactory. It can't be said to be bad, but it doesn't have much new ideas. From the perspective of crisis public relations, Universal Pictures still maintains its own restraint and position.

But in any case, Universal Pictures still expressed its official position. This in turn led to another speculation and discussion: After Paul left, did the "Fast and Furious" crew become the domination of the Vin Diesel family? So how does this affect the future of the franchise?

First, the sixth part of Renly's farewell series, and now it is the eighth part of Paul's farewell series... Of course, these two departures have their own special factors, and we can't shirk all the responsibilities on the crew or Diesel, the external factors are only auxiliary , the internal cause is the core, this is an objective fact, it is meaningless to unilaterally accuse anyone; but again, no one can deny that these two partings are more or less indirectly related to Diesel, then, Is Diesel the cancer of the crew?

The layman watches the fun, and the layman watches the doorway.

The people who eat melons speculate recklessly, randomly organize all the clues irregularly, and then make up a big drama of the struggle for power and profit within the crew; but people in the industry can follow the clues to capture relatively clear ideas, even if Paul The departure of Diesel is a purely independent decision, and Diesel's dominance in the crew is also a predictable result. Now, the "Fast and Furious" series is finally as Diesel wished, and will soon become his own series.

But is it really that simple?

...

At this time, Diesel was a little depressed.

Of course, it was still anger at the beginning, but after the anger broke out, the thoughts gradually settled down, and doubts and difficulties began to breed, and it was hard to understand - anger cannot solve the problem, but calmness does not help much, which makes Diesel was caught in a predicament where he couldn't move forward or retreat. He was aggrieved and depressed, and finally turned into depression.

Dieselan was sitting on the black sofa in the office, apparently lost in thought, but the constant shaking of his feet inadvertently revealed his inner anxiety.

He knows that his irritability and impulsiveness will not help. When the power struggle reaches a certain level, all emotions will become useless, not to mention the multi-billion transactions on Wall Street, just Hollywood six The top projects of the big studios don't just change the rules by throwing a tantrum.

The incident that roiled the Universal Studios offices last year was the most important lesson of Diesel's career: he finally understood the limits of his vision and that there was a higher world beyond the power he wielded.

Although he can't really spy on the sword, light, sword and shadow of that level, and he can't really understand the strategy of that level, his knowledge structure and personal experience are destined that his vision and point of view cannot reach this level; but this still does not affect his self-knowledge: some things , he can control, and some things, he'd better stay aside, otherwise it will be dead without a burial.

Temper can still erupt, but it depends on the occasion.

It was as if losing his temper didn't help at all, so Diesel needed to calm down. Although it didn't help much, at least he wouldn't lose his initiative.

"Fan?" Facing such a quiet Diesel, Fisher-Morgan was a little uncomfortable - in fact, he hoped that Diesel would be able to go wild, because such simple and rough things were easier to handle, and Now that Diesel has calmed down, it also means that Diesel is smarter. It is more difficult for him to easily control Diesel to become his cash cow.

Of course, the relationship between the agent and the actor is a cooperative relationship, is there any other possibility?

Diesel raised his head, pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Why? Can you tell me why?"
