Chapter 478
"Mr. Wald, you are here!!!"
Paul Walker, the actor of the male lead in the "Fast and Furious" crew, was immediately excited as soon as he saw Zucker's arrival.
"Paul, long time no see." The two of them stretched out their fists and bumped them lightly.
Paul: "Mr. Wald, you came here too suddenly today, and I was completely unprepared. Oh my God, I was so excited that I would definitely be in a lot of situations in filming today, oh no~"
Paul is extremely grateful to Zucker!
In 1998, after starting filming his first film "Running Rolla", Zucker picked up the guide again and started filming his first film "The Tuner".
When casting "The Tuner", there were many Hollywood celebrities and new Hollywood actors. However, they were rejected by Zhuke and turned to him, who was also a model and an amateur actor at the time.
Since then, Paul Walker has become famous in one fell swoop!
It can be said that Zhuke was Paul's mentor and a guide to the Hollywood career.
Zhuke is also quite helpful to him. Whenever Wald Pictures holds celebrations, cocktail parties, and annual meetings, he will be invited to attend, which has added a lot of connections to him.
"Mr. Wald, when I'm filming later, you can't just scold me at any time, just give me some face." Paul said suddenly.
Zhuke smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm just here to take a look today. Of course, don't be lucky, believe me, as long as you don't complete the task well, Rob Cohen will kick you hard in the ass."
Paul's mouth twitched ~
Zhuke is in Hollywood and often plays the role of the film company owner, producer and screenwriter, but once he becomes a director, he is definitely a tyrant on the set.
When filming "The Tuner", Paul was scolded a lot.
"Juke, don't worry. I'll put my words here today. As soon as Paul makes a mistake, I'll kick him in the ass!" Director Rob Cohen smiled.
Producer Tucker followed, "I'll stare at him, too."
Upon hearing this, Paul immediately showed a guilty expression and looked extremely aggrieved.
However.......
All of this made the actor Van Diesel envious.
Paul, who was only 28 years old, was appreciated by Zhuke and served as the male lead in the crew. He had a good relationship with the director and producer, and became the center of the entire crew.
Let's look at him Vin Diesel?
"I'm a miserable baby!"
"I came over with Paul, but now Paul and Zhuke are having a hot chat, and I, Van Diesel, is left aside and no one cares about it."
The contrast is very vivid, bastard!
His mentality was a little broken, but he always looked like a smile.
Now 34 years old, he didn't do well in his early years. He worked as a theater screenwriter, a drama stage actor, a personal bodyguard, a telemarketer...
As many as a dozen jobs.
It was not until 1998 that he was appreciated by director Spielberg at the St. Denny's Film Festival for his short film "The Man in the Front", and thus became a supporting role in "Saving Private Ryan" with 7 lines, and entered Hollywood.
At that time, he was over 30 years old!
"I entered Hollywood very late, but I have a flexible mind!"
"I have worked as a telemarketer for at least two years, flattering and talking nonsense when I see people, I'm very good at talking to others."
Although Vin Diesel looks like he is worthy of beating, doesn't look like a good person, and has no consideration for his character, his mind is indeed very flexible.
Not long ago, he seized an opportunity!
At the end of 1999, he went from being a supporting actor to becoming the male lead in the movie "Star Legend 1". The filming cost of the entire movie was as high as 23 million US dollars, but after the movie was released, the box office result was only 39 million US dollars.
The film company lost money!
He was tragic again
"This time, I finally climbed to Wald Pictures, so I have to seize this opportunity if I say anything!" Vin Diesel secretly encouraged her.
"You are Van Diesel, the second male lead in the crew, right?"
Suddenly, Zucker looked at Vin Diesel, who was always smiling on his face.
"Uh? Yes... Yes... I'm Vin Diesel, I'm glad to meet you Mr. Wald!"
"Don't be nervous, I'm not a man-eating monster." Zucker laughed.
Van Diesel scratched his head and made a honest expression.
"Damn it, you have to be calm, bastard." He was secretly angry.
He had planned to talk after meeting Zhuke more than once. In terms of wording, he had prepared less than 10 sets of plans and practiced alone for a long time. However, when Zhuke really talked to him, he was suddenly confused.
Big man!
In the Hollywood field, Zucker is an absolute big shot!
Not to mention Vin Diesel, who is just a little person now, even the top actors and actresses in Hollywood don’t dare to be presumptuous when facing Zhuke.
"Although Boss Tang is only the second male lead, his role is not much worse than that of the first male lead. If he acts well, it will definitely be easy to excel. Come on!" Zhuke encouraged.
"Thank you, I will work hard and will not let your expectations down." Vin Diesel said excitedly.
Zhu Ke smiled and said, "Remember what you said. This is just the first part of the "Fast and Furious" series. There will be another part 2, part 2, and even the 8th and part 9th. Your future is bright enough."
Vin Diesel nodded immediately as if he was pounding garlic.
Excited!
He really didn't expect that the movie "Fast and Furious" would be a series of movies!
"Oh my God, I'm considered to be with Wald Pictures and Mr. Juke Wald?!"
When Van Diesel thought of this, he couldn't help but feel excited.
To be honest, as a time traveler, Zhu Ke knew very well how arrogant, rebellious, and even arrogant Van Diesel would be in the future, but... this guy is indeed smart enough.
The first and second parts of the "Fast and Furious" series can only be considered ordinary racing popcorn movies, and the third part of the series even suffered a box office defeat.
The production company refrigerates the series.
At this time, Vin Diesel stood up.
He brought in the investor and convinced the production company Universal Studios to restart the "Fast and Furious" series of movies.
Moreover, since the 4th and 5th movies, the concept of "family" has been established, making the "Fast and Furious" series a success and becoming a world-renowned IP film.
Vin Diesel is not very good-looking, but it does not prevent him from succeeding in Hollywood!
"Or the few who can succeed in Hollywood are fuel-efficient. Many of the actors he has worked with say that this guy is not a good thing, he has a good character."
"However, what does it have to do with me?"
"As long as he can make money for me, he is a good actor! An actor who can't make money for me, even if he won three Oscars and actors in a row, he has nothing to do with me."
Zhu Ke thought to himself.
You can despise him, but you can't deny his inspirational experience.
.........
In the following time, Zhuke wandered around the crew leisurely.
Zucker pointed to Van Diesel, who was filming, and said to producer Tucker: "Tuck, look at him well. This guy is very smart and will cooperate many times in the future."
Smart people will never lack opportunities.
Tucker: "Boss, I get it."
Zhu Ke suddenly said sadly: "I originally wanted to give the character of Boss Don to Dwayne Johnson to support him, but he doesn't give him face! I would rather hold Universal Pictures' thighs than touch us, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
That's right!
The role of Boss Don, Zuckerbon wants to support Dwayne Johnson.
Tucker smiled and said, "Boss, there is nothing to be grateful for. I believe he will regret it sooner or later. In the future, we will also film "Fast and Furious 2", "Fast and Furious 3", and more. Abandoning us will definitely be his loss."
Zhuke nodded, deeply agreeing.
“……”
At this time, a crew member not far from Zhuke and Tucker, well, Meng Aili of the props team heard this.
His face was filled with a look of astonishment.
"Oh my god, what did Johnson missed?!"
Mon Aili and Dwayne Johnson are friends with good relationships, and they really feel sorry for him. He immediately made a decision.
Call Dwayne Johnson!
Chapter completed!
