Brian's appearance was an accident, but it was also part of Nagini's plan.
In fact, if he simply wanted to help his family through this crisis, Nagini had many ways to solve it.
The simplest way was to kill the Japanese man.
And now was the best time to do so!
He didn't do it before because the Japanese man was Nick Frey's informant. Nagini was worried that the man was bait that the old fox had set for him, so he didn't make a move.
In addition, the Japanese man had been very honest all these years, so Nagini couldn't do anything too radical.
Now that Nick Frey's attention was on Captain Marvel, Nagini could take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the other man.
But the question was, would it work?
Even if Nagini killed the Japanese man, Toledo would still be short of money, and he would still go down the path of breaking the law.
Even if there were no Japanese, there would still be Koreans.
It was difficult to be a good person, but to be a criminal?
That was too easy!
If he really wanted to solve his family's problem, he had to solve the root of the problem, and that was why Nagini wanted to make a movie.
Toledo had many problems, and he wasn't a qualified actor.
But so what?
With the script that Nagini had tailored for him, he only needed to act as himself.
From 2001 to 2017, the total box office of the Fast and Furious series was as high as 3.8 billion USD. Excluding the theater's share and other costs, even if he only received 40% of the box office, it would still be 1.5 billion USD.
With a total income of at least 1.5 billion USD in 17 years, what car could Toledo not play with?
Even if everyone split the profits, Toledo could still get three or four hundred million USD. Compared to the tens of millions of USD he could only get from working so hard in Rio, making a movie was the real way to go!
As for Toledo's acting, that wasn't a problem. The famous tool man in Hollywood, Morgan Freeman, only played one type of role, but he was still the most influential actor in Hollywood.
Nagini was not worried about Toledo's acting career at all. As long as a person became popular, they did not need to do it themselves. Everyone would push them forward.
Najini's idea was very simple. As long as the movie in his hands could become a hit, he could take advantage of the situation and release the Fast and Furious movie series. With a huge amount of money and fame, his family's problems would naturally be solved.
This was also the reason why Nagini didn't kill Brian even though he knew that he was an FBI spy.
Because there was no need to!
A mere Brian would not affect his plans, nor would it affect the family. Moreover, in the Fast and Furious series, the second male lead, Brian, could save him a lot of money.
If I remember correctly, Brian's Antarctic Adventure, Racing Storm, and Violent Street all had good box office sales. They were not inferior to Toledo and Sister Letty at all. They were much better than my useless otaku sister.
But there was one thing, it was best to get rid of that Japanese man.
After all, he was an unstable factor. Nagini did not want any of his actors to have any scandals in the future.
Time passed quickly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
These three days, Nagini was very busy. A movie did not mean that after you finished shooting, it would be a complete movie.
Even if it was a web drama, it still needed layers of review and post-production.
For Nagini's movie to be put on the big screen, every step of the process needed to be strictly controlled. This required an amazing amount of energy and money.
Nagini only spent 10,000 US dollars to shoot the Python Disaster including all the expenses.
But in the three days of post-production, Nagini spent at least 300,000 US dollars.
Of course, the reason why he spent so much was mainly because Nagini strived for perfection.
His post-production team was all elites from Hollywood that Sam's mother found.
Although they were not masters, everyone had a solid foundation and rich experience. According to Vanessa, if Nagini was willing to pay 10 million US dollars, they could even turn this videotaped movie into a real AAA production.
After all, the python in the movie was too real, and the quality was extremely high in all aspects. It had the potential to become a AAA production.
Nagini understood what the other party meant. The original Python Disaster was a big production, and it achieved good results.
But the problem was that Nagini was more optimistic about videotaping. This was a more immersive way of shooting than documentaries, and it was the biggest selling point of Nagini's debut movie.
In addition, there was another problem.
Although a big production was very tempting, don't forget that Nagini was just a new director. He had no way to explain his source of funds unless he wanted to be chatted with by the IRS. Therefore, in the current situation, the most suitable path for Nagini was to take the unconventional path.
After three days of post-production, Nagini's movie finally ushered in the last step, and that was the publicity!
Publicity was a word, but it represented two meanings, one was publicity, and the other was distribution.
The largest distributors in Hollywood were the eight giants. They controlled more than 90% of Hollywood's resources, but this did not mean that there were no other distributors in Hollywood except for the eight giants.
As a film industry that had developed for many years, from the eight giants to the liar distributors that no one cared about, Hollywood had everything.
San Diego, a film and television company with a name that did not match its reputation. It was not as good as the eight giants, but it was much better than the small companies that produced bad movies. It belonged to the type that was not good enough.
The company's headquarters was in San Diego, the second largest city in California. It also had its own branch in Los Angeles, where every inch of land was expensive.
This was introduced by Ms. Vanessa. Sam's mother had some power in Hollywood. Although she could not send Nagini's movie to the eight giants, the general film and television companies would still give her face.
So in early August, on the fourth morning of Nagini's return to Los Angeles, the two excitedly took the original film and went to the San Diego Film and Television Company's Los Angeles branch in the prime area of Los Angeles.
In the twelve-story office building, San Diego Film and Television Company occupied the best eighty to ninety floors.
The company's decoration was good. The whole body was blue, which matched the sea on their company's logo. Around the sea were 24 flying seagulls. These 24 seagulls represented the age of San Diego Film and Television Company. Every year, there would be an additional white seagull.
To be honest, at first, Nagini was very satisfied with this film company. But when he saw the red sofa in the general manager's office of the branch?
Nagini could not help but frown.
Next to him was Sam's mother, Ms. Vanessa.
She was wearing a black woman's suit today. She was 1.71 meters tall and wore a pair of red and black high heels. She was dressed in a neutral manner, like a clean and agile female elite.
With the expensive diamond necklace, Ms. Vanessa gave a very good first impression.
To be honest, Sam should really learn from her mother.
Ms. Vanessa, who was close to fifty years old this year, although her appearance had declined, her temperament was firmly superior to Sam's.
Ms. Vanessa next to him noticed Nagini's frown. She knew what a red sofa meant in Hollywood, but she patted Nagini's shoulder and gave Nagini a reassuring look.
Her expression flashed with confidence, as if telling Nagini to leave everything to her, no problem!
However, before Ms. Vanessa could speak, a slightly shrill voice sounded from the front of the desk.
"You're Nagini?
This is your original negatives?
Put it here. Since you're Vanessa's friend, you can pay me 100,000 USD for the publicity. "
The person who spoke was Duque, the general manager of this branch.
He looked to be in his forties. He was very thin, had a sharp chin, and small eyes.
Together, for some reason, he gave off a sharp and mean feeling.
After Nagini entered the door, he did not even bother to stand and just said perfunctorily.
The other party's attitude made Ms. Vanessa's eyes flash with dissatisfaction. She frowned slightly and her eyes flashed with displeasure. "Duque, Nagini is my friend."
