​​

"Is something wrong?"

​​

In the pulling room, Rob Cohen looked at Neil Moretz and Vin Diesel. Vin Diesel didn't know what humility was, and said directly, "I think there is something wrong with the action scene filmed today. Better to get rid of it."

​​

Rob Cohen frowned slightly. Even if there was a big production with an investment of 70 million US dollars hanging, at this moment, he felt that Vin Diesel was controlling too much. .

​​

This person must be too difficult to deal with!

​​

He looked at producer Neil Moretz, who was the real mastermind of the crew.

​​

Neil Moretz, like last time, still stood by Vin Diesel, "If it's not suitable, it's fine."

​​

He just had a phone call with a high-level executive of Universal Pictures, and the other party said very clearly that Vin Diesel had made a big investment. If it wasn't too much, he would do what he wanted. As long as the project could be completed, it would count as a box office. The results are not good, and the loss is not the money of Universal Pictures.

​​

Universal Pictures, as a distributor, can instead earn a distribution fee.

​​

Besides, Vin Diesel is targeting a small role and a small actor, and will not bring much influence to the crew.

​​

In fact, Neil Moretz is very clear that Universal Pictures itself is not very optimistic about this subject. The main reason why "Fast and the Furious" was approved for shooting is that Universal Pictures basically did not spend its own money, and the shooting funds were almost All from financing.

​​

But Vin Diesel's demands are not over yet.

​​

He moved his shoulders a little bit. A few hours later, his shoulders and soft ribs were still hurting, but he couldn't say anything. After all, he asked the action scenes to be free to shoot.

​​

Of course it won't go away like this.

​​

"And!" Vin Diesel added, "I don't want to see Matthew Horner in the crew again."

​​

Director Rob Cohen did not speak immediately. It is not a big deal to fire a small actor in the crew, but if it involves liquidated damages, it will be more troublesome.

​​

He thought about it and said, "What about the role of Matthew Horner?"

​​

Before coming here, Vin Diesel also mentioned this, but Neil Moretz did not agree immediately, after all, it involved the scenes that had already been filmed.

​​

"Rob..." he asked. "How many scenes has Matthew Horner done? How many more scenes?"

​​

"Including this afternoon, two scenes were filmed." Rob Cohen recalled the shooting plan, "There are still two scenes that were not filmed."

​​

Vin Diesel looked at Neil Moretz with urgency in his eyes.

​​

Neil Moretz was also a little disgusted by Vin Diesel's arrogant and unreasonable attitude, but he represented Universal Pictures, and it was impossible to go against the large sums of money, so he quickly made a decision, "Well, I'll have someone contact Matthew Horner's agency to negotiate the termination of the contract."

​​

Vin Diesel nodded, still with that grim expression, "Better be quick."

​​

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, he left the pulling room without saying a word.

​​

Neil Moretz looked at his back with obvious displeasure on his face. What Vin Diesel did in the crew had already spread to Universal Pictures, and there were criticisms within Universal Pictures, and even reached a tacit understanding. , even if "The Fast and the Furious" is an upset success, it is best not to use people like Vin Diesel in the future.

​​

Leaving the studio and entering the nanny van, Vin Diesel asked the driver to drive home. After returning home, he immediately called his agent.

​​

"You go look up a little actor named Matthew Horner."

​​

After more than half an hour, the manager's phone called back.

​​

"This little actor has some background, once had an affair with Britney Spears, participated in "Soul Shifting Girl", "Gladiator" and "Band of Brothers", especially in the filming of "Band of Brothers", Gary - Goldzman and several other producers have complimented him, and he just landed a new role two months ago, the Scorpion King in Stephen Sommers' The Mummy Returns."

​​

Vin Diesel asked, "The Mummy Returns? Is it Universal's The Mummy series?"

​​

"That's right." The agent answered with great certainty, "It's the key project of Universal Pictures this year."

​​

"Do you know who the producer of "The Mummy Returns" is?" Vin Diesel asked again.

​​

The agent then replied, "Sean Daniel."

​​

Vin Diesel didn't know this person and hung up his agent's phone. He has some connections within Universal Pictures, maybe he can get in touch with Sean Daniel?

​​

He knew that the "Fast and the Furious" project he participated in was far inferior to "The Mummy Returns" in Universal Pictures. This can also be seen from the level of the two project leaders within Universal Pictures.

​​

There was another burst of pain in the shoulders and soft underbelly, and Vin Diesel's expression became even colder. He had to give it a try.

​​

The night was getting dark. In the apartment in Ximu District, Matthew left in front of the mirror, turned off the TV and VCR, and rubbed his face, which was a little numb because of imitation, but accidentally touched a blue scar on his face that was about the size of a small fingernail. A little bit of pain.

​​

He immediately thought of Vin Diesel and couldn't help shaking his head. Fortunately, he didn't stay in the crew for a few days.

​​

Matthew has never seen a-list or super-a stars on the set. When filming "Gladiator", Russell Crowe's style was only heard from others, even if Russell Crowe's real actions are more than He's twice as exaggerated as he's heard, and he's going to go down in front of Vin Diesel.

​​

He doesn't have the strength and fame of Super A, but he has the temper and arrogance to completely surpass Super A...

​​

Matthew's reputation and strength are not enough to compete with Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and others are limited to certain reasons, and they can't stand up and say anything, but he feels that Vin Diesel will continue to behave like this sooner or later. Some people who cooperated with him came forward to openly tear up.

​​

After taking a shower in the bathroom, and texting Britney for a while, Matthew put away Kevin Spacey's video clips. Recently, he has been studying and imitating Kevin Spacey. I studied American Beauty some time ago, and recently I've been mulling over Kevin Spacey's performances in "The Usual Suspects" and "Seven Deadly Sins."

​​

Kevin Spacey's performances always carry an unspeakable evil spirit, which Matthew finds very special.

​​

Putting away the videotape, Matthew lay down and opened the script for the character of the Scorpion King. In the past, he has read the script more than ten times, and every scene and every sentence is very familiar.

​​

The Scorpion King mainly appeared at the beginning and end of the film. The scenes were relatively concentrated, and the filming was completed in a short period of time.

​​

In fact, the filming of "The Mummy Returns" has already started, and the crew is currently on location in Morocco. However, the scenes of the Scorpion King will be filmed on a green screen in the studio of Pinewood Studios on the outskirts of London. Matthew does not need to go to Africa at all.

​​

In fact, he was a little worried about the attitude of the director Stephen Sommers. When he signed the contract, Stephen Sommers was far from being friendly to him.

​​

In this kind of a-list project, a small actor cannot compete with the director at all.

​​

Matthew didn't even think about picking Stephen Sommers. It was a very stupid act. It's better that Stephen Sommers can change the prejudice brought about by casting.

​​

He can endure it temporarily, as long as Stephen Sommers doesn't go too far, he can bear it until the filming of The Scorpion King ends.

​​

After returning from London, Matthew got to know Stephen Sommers specially. Unlike what he thought, Stephen Sommers has a very good reputation in the circle. He is very family-oriented and dedicated, and he doesn't like messing up things, hobbies Delve into new filmmaking techniques.

​​

In general, Stephen Sommers can be said to be a good and good director when it comes to dealing with people.

​​

But such directors often have a stubborn side, and Matthew guesses that this is why Stephen Sommers is a little bit against him.

​​

This shouldn't be a personal grudge.

​​

With this thought in mind, Matthew fell asleep and saw Vin Diesel in his sleep. He was driving a Dodge on the road. The car suddenly lost control and hit a tree on the side of the road, and a raging fire ignited. , all burned to ashes.

​​

Early the next morning, Matthew got up and went for a run in the nearby small park. After having breakfast outside, he went back and found that there were several missed calls on the mobile phone in the apartment, all of them from Helen. - Herman called.

​​

Helen Herman usually doesn't practice with him, so it must have been a work emergency.

​​

Matthew quickly dialed back, the bell only rang twice, and the other side picked up.

​​

"Where are you now?" Helen Herman asked.

​​

"At home." Matthew didn't know what she was doing, and told the truth, "I just came back from breakfast outside."

​​

Helen Herman spoke faster, "You go to the Universal Studios studio right now, I'll be waiting for you at the door."

​​

Matthew is puzzled~www.readwn.com~ I don't have a role today..."

​​

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Helen Herman, "This morning, an assistant producer from the "Fast and the Furious" crew called me and asked me to go to the crew with you to discuss Termination matters!"

​​

"Cancellation?" Matthew stood up directly from the sofa and raised his voice unconsciously, "The Fast and the Furious crew wants to cancel the contract with me?"

​​

"That's the notice I got." Helen Herman's tone was calm. "Matthew, tell me, what did you do in the crew? Why did they terminate the contract with you?"

​​

Matthew immediately thought of Vin Diesel, couldn't help but swear, and said to Helen Herman, "I had some friction with Vin Diesel, and when we were filming in the afternoon, he wanted to trick me, but he ate it instead. It's a loss, it is said that Vin Diesel has brought in a large amount of investment for the crew, and he has a voice on the set..."

​​

Helen Herman over there did not speak in a hurry, Matthew repeated what happened yesterday from beginning to end as soon as possible.

​​

He didn't add oil and vinegar, so as to facilitate the agent's judgment.
