"The Fast and the Furious" took a total of two and a half months from the start of filming at the end of August to the end of filming, and the progress was in line with expectations.
No matter how smooth the filming of the literary drama is, a lot of time will be spent on the action scenes and racing scenes. The company's bottom line is to complete the filming in three months. If it exceeds this time, the budget will be exceeded.
In the parallel world, the investment in the first part of "The Fast and the Furious" was not high, with only 38 million production costs and no big-name stars participating. The movie mainly relied on the racing scenes to attract people, but the plot had bugs and the action scenes had no highlights.
Street gangsters fight.
Now the production cost of this magically modified "Fast and Furious" is close to 40 million US dollars. The cost in the early years of filming was almost because Yang Jian's salary was higher than Vin Diesel, and he was the guarantee of the film's box office success.
The racing scenes in the movie are still exciting, and two more action scenes have been added, giving it a bit of a blockbuster feel. The concept of the movie is not as low-key as the original version. The villain is a transnational drug cartel, not Dom and others who form a group to rob a large truck.
The original version was really low-key, as he was almost killed by a faceless truck driver because he was tired of logging. Boss Tang was not a good person, he was just a criminal who should be sent to prison.
The plot of the movie will make people wonder whether Dom really "I am only free for the short 10 seconds when racing." This guy may prefer robbery to racing.
In the adapted script, the relationship between Dom and Vince is also different.
The two have been friends since elementary school. How deep should their relationship be? It was completely invisible in the original movie. One of Mia's lines even included the sentence "My brother doesn't like anyone." It can be seen that Vince is just Dom's younger brother.
Relationships between people are not equal. Dom yelled at Vince twice in the film, and he was so angry that he seemed to want to kill Vince.
No matter what the setting is, this is how Vin Diesel acted. He didn't seem to care about Vince's life or death. In the fifth part, it was even more obvious. After Vince was shot and died, Dom was still smiling happily, but he just took the money.
A share was given to Vince's family. The atmosphere at the end was, "We're going to open champagne to celebrate the success of the plan. No one was injured except Vince."
The modified version has been significantly changed. Dom knew that Vince had done something wrong and went to save him, and was furious to avenge him. Vince got into big trouble and apologized to Dom before he was shot and died.
The Dom portrayed by Yang Jian has a flamboyant personality, but does not know how to yell. He only shouted after Vince died, and his conversation with Brian turned into a roar, and his emotions were extremely excited. After killing the gang killer to avenge his friend,
Only then did he regain his senses.
The original version had too many flaws. The younger brother Jesse was shot to death with a submachine gun just like Xu Wenqiang 10 minutes ago. The two protagonists showed gay smiles after racing. Jesse who? They forgot.
Because of this look at each other, Dom almost burped when he hit a truck, and survived by driving the truck.
This magical adaptation of Yang Jian's movie has changed all the shortcomings of the original film. It also left a hook at the end, showing that the threat of transnational drug gangs is still there. The easter eggs have laid the groundwork for the sequel. Brian wants to fight with his
When we were young, we fought against drug dealers in Miami.
After the filming was completed, everyone on the crew believed that the movie would be a hit and that it would be a super popular action movie. Yang Jian believed that the box office would definitely be higher than the original version. If the global box office could not exceed 100 million, it would be a failure.
Regardless of the cast or the plot, the remake is much better than the original version. As long as this movie becomes popular, a sequel will be put on the agenda immediately to strike while the iron is hot.
"The Fast and the Furious" is destined to become the signature IP of Huaer Pictures and Universal. There are not many superhero movies in this era. In addition to the Spider-Man trilogy, the popular superhero movies include Batman directed by Nolan.
Trilogy.
As long as it is done properly, by the time the Marvel and DC universes open up, "The Fast and the Furious" will already be a super series. The essence of Timberwolves is also a superhero, which can compete with comic book movies and suppress Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible"
series.
The script of "Fast and Furious 2: Miami Vice" Yang Jian has prepared an outline, but it has not been detailed yet.
Action director Bradley James Allen is willing to work with Yang Jian again in the future, and he also recommended his friend Tyrone Jenkins.
Jenkins is a black stuntman. He is good at skills, but it is difficult to find a job. Because his appearance lacks memory, he is a black man with no characteristics. Being in the entertainment industry makes people forget that his face is worse than being ugly, so he is better as a stuntman.
Quite suitable.
Allen asked Jenkins to come to the set to be the villain. In the film, he had a fight with Yang Jian and appeared for 5 seconds. As a result, Yang Jian fell in love with him and left his contact information and planned to work with him again in the future.
Jenkins has a very strong physical fitness and was a good athlete when he was in school. Like Allen, he admires Jackie Chan and is good at flying over walls, doing somersaults and fighting with various props around him. To put it bluntly, he can imitate Jackie Chan, which is a talent.
Allen's height is only 163cm, making it difficult for a special actor to appear on camera. Jenkins is 178cm tall, so he can be a stand-in for more people, provided he is a black actor. And he is only 21 years old, very young, and can maintain his condition for a long time.
Yang Jian didn't like the story of the original "Fast and Furious 2". That mediocre sequel was nominated for a Razzie. How could a film he wrote as a screenwriter be so mediocre?
He had never thought about how to make the magic change, but he suddenly got inspiration after meeting Jenkins.
He plans to follow up the easter egg content at the beginning of the sequel, with Brian returning to his hometown of Miami. His black gangster friend Roman Pierce refuses the flow of drugs into the neighborhood he protects, so he has a grudge against the gang and may be killed at any time.
The FBI hopes that Roman will become an informant and cooperate with Brian to help destroy the drug trafficking organization in Miami. Roman is one of the local gangsters here and has a lot of information.
Brian immediately set off to find Roman. At this time, Roman had just robbed a box of drugs from the gang. He ran home and poured them all into the bathtub and destroyed them with dye. The gangsters came to the door, and Roman showed his agility and was chased and intercepted by a group of people.
He went downstairs and successfully escaped in an incredible way. After going downstairs, he happened to meet Brian.
The sequel opens with a wonderful action scene. Yang Jian is going to merge the two movies into one, "13" and "2 Fast and the Furious".
Roman's personality has been increased and he has become a funny man who is good at parkour and very good at fighting. In the parallel world, Roman is the person who is responsible for making jokes when he is tired of cutting wood. His strength is not outstanding, and he often gets into trouble while racing. He has undertaken most of the tasks.
The laughter adds a lot to the film.
Yang Jian's addition of personality to Roman will make this character more outstanding and play a greater role in the team.
The main plot no longer plays undercover. Not only are the two male protagonists not undercover, the female protagonist is not an undercover agent next to the gangster. It’s just that the female protagonist has very good driving skills in the FBI, and the three of them investigate the case together.
There will be some funny plots interspersed during the show. The policewomen played by Brian and Diane Crook are good-looking, and Roman is super powerful and funny, and his complaints are sharp.
The scene of flying on the yacht in the original ending will be retained, and then a fight scene will be added.
The black actor who plays Roman definitely doesn't have the skills of David Bell, the parkour master in "Violence 13". Simple action actors will complete it, and the difficult actions will be handed over to stuntman Jenkins. This is Yang Jian's plan.
It can be done through editing. It is not difficult. You can hire Jenkins with a high salary to train in advance. It is impossible to find a Frenchman Bale to play the role. He speaks French and has not made his debut in the entertainment industry.
Dom will not appear in the sequel, but he will be mentioned in the movie. Drug dealers in Miami also have a cooperative relationship with transnational drug cartels. At the end, the boss said that neither Brian nor Dom would end well, and left them to die.
Yang Jian planned to have a villain boss threatening the protagonists in the early stages of the series to make the plot more compact. In the second part, Brian will be the protagonist to introduce new people, in the third part, Dom will be the protagonist to introduce new people, and in the fourth part, they will meet again.
Join forces.
Yang Jian generally has an idea for a third movie, but he will definitely not make a "Tokyo Drift" after the movie is released.
"Tokyo Drift" is so bad, from the casting to the plot, it's a mess, and the character Han doesn't need to appear...
