Movie Master

Following the aisle, Lance returned to the backstage of the Kodak Theater again, and his statuette hadn't finished engraving yet.

From a distance, he saw Hayden Hunter looking for help, surrounded by a large group of people, two people were talking to him, and there were five or six people waiting for an opportunity, obviously It is to wait for the two people to finish talking, and then immediately fill the vacancy.

When Hayden saw Lance, he immediately showed a bright smile and greeted him, but Lance didn't intend to pay attention to him at all, pretending not to see him, and directly looked away. In another corner, a large group of people gathered around Edgar Snow and Newton Siegel. At a glance, there were at least eight or nine people. The scene was quite lively.

It can be seen at a glance that those people are trying to poach corners. To be precise, after polishing many works over the years, Lance has formed his own royal team, with about 15 core members, and each member has now become a big player in the industry, not only because of their outstanding technology, and because they have worked with Lance for a long enough time, their understanding of movies and lenses has improved to a higher level, so their popularity is definitely not inferior to Lance's - even from a certain level, Also surpassed Lance.

The reason is simple. Senior technicians are scarce, and their fees are far lower than those of directors. The crew can hire a top-notch photographer, then pair it with an inexperienced but capable director, and then direct a commercial blockbuster, which can reduce costs and reduce the risk of errors in the work. Later, many blockbuster films, including Marvel adaptations, were done in this way, with new directors paired with experienced technical teams.

What's more, it is impossible for Lance to work full time. During his rest period, other people have to work too. They cooperate with other crews and other projects, which cannot be regarded as poaching. After all, they didn't sign a prostitution contract with Chaos Films.

Not to mention Hayden, Newton and others, even Albert Allen and Percy Bradley have been poached. To have a bite. It was also heard last week that James Corden received a job offer from Warner Bros., hoping that he could serve as the manager of the Warner Bros. production department, but James rejected the offer.

Lance was not surprised that people were staring at his royal team, on the contrary, it was actually an affirmation and praise for him. It's just that he didn't expect the competition to be so fierce. Now that it's still in the Kodak Theater, he thought they would at least wait until the following Oscar night before making a move.

Hey, Lance! Hayden didn't get a response from Lance, so he simply raised his voice and shouted, then he threw away the others around him, and walked quickly to Lance, with lingering fear on his face, God, they Are they all crazy? They don't even give me any space.

If you want space, you should go home, Lance quipped, causing Hayden to roll his eyes. I thought that was what you were expecting. I mean, being a great photographer and then tons of projects I want to find you to cooperate with me, you are truly the top in the industry.

Hayden curled his lips, When you're young, everyone has some silly and unrealistic ideas, doesn't it? This made Lance laugh out loud, A really good photographer doesn't take bad pictures casually. , we will only cooperate with excellent directors. Because only excellent directors, they know how to make full use of the lens and tap the value of the photographer. Hayden looked back at the crowd that still did not disperse, frowned slightly, showing With a disgusted expression on his face, Instead of shooting for a commercial movie, God, that would be an insult! Hayden stared at Lance angrily, You know what kind of invitation was there just now? Is it? They actually invited me to shoot a love movie, Jesus Christ, and love movies use backlighting, wide angle, 360 degree rotation, and some inappropriate slow motion, which is enough for anyone who just learned photography Young people can take the mirror.

Lance raised his eyebrows lightly, The shots in 'Pride and Prejudice' are not that superficial. But he knew what Hayden meant. The camera movements of most chick movies in the United States are indeed not distinctive and do not require much technology , Let Hayden take the mirror, it is indeed overkill.

Hayden rolled his eyes, looked at Lance speechlessly, and did not speak, expressing his protest with silence. Lance couldn't help laughing, What if I shoot a love movie?

Then I'll take it. Hayden said bluntly, paused, and then threatened, Unless you want to change partners.

Lance raised his hands in a gesture of surrender to show his loyalty, and Hayden nodded in satisfaction, I mean, I may not shoot new works for the next half a year, if you want , I don’t mind if you take over other projects.” After the filming of “No Country for Old Men” is finished, he will take a rest and adjust for a period of time before he will seek the next project, so at least he will have to wait until the second half of the year.

I don't mind taking a vacation for half a year to a year. Hayden replied without any hesitation, Yesterday Ethan came to ask me if you have any plans in the near future. It seems that someone should have found him. Ethan Water, Hayden's first assistant, is actually Lance's second photographer, and now he has the ability to act alone, and it is expected that someone will come to him.

What is unfolding in front of Chaos Films now is a brand new world, everything seems to be different.

Suddenly, Hayden changed the subject, I absolutely need a hamburger... Out of the corner of his eye, Lance saw Lon Meyer walking towards him. Hayden obviously didn't want outsiders to hear their conversation, so he was blunt. Changing the topic quickly, Lance also looked at Lang, nodded with a smile, Hayden also stopped his topic along the steps, turned around to say hello to Lang, and then found an excuse to leave.

It's really a bumper harvest tonight, congratulations. Lang smiled and sent his blessings, Will you go to the Sunset Tower Hotel later? Everyone is waiting for your appearance tonight, Yog Makara He was asking me about you just now. I told him that you are a wine lover, compared to single malt whiskey. Yog, the chairman of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Of course, I won't miss such a wonderful night. Lance said with a smile as if he didn't understand the meaning of Lang's words.

Although tonight is the night when Chaos Films won a big victory, but Lance knows that it is also a night of turmoil in Hollywood. Not only will the top executives of Chaos Films not be absent, but they will also show their skills at the Sunset Tower Hotel. They need to seize the opportunity to pave the way for the next plan. Therefore, the joy of victory can be enjoyed until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. There is still a lot of work to do tonight.

Barry Meyer must be looking forward to your appearance. I heard that you once planned to cooperate with 'Superman Returns'? Lance seemed not to understand the meaning of Lang's words. He nodded and smiled, expressing his affirmation. As for Yu, Lang nodded suddenly, and said seemingly unintentionally, I thought he had a hard time recently, but I seem to think too much. He and Robert Iger have gotten very close recently, but I don't know if they are It’s not planning any big event.” After finishing speaking, Lang took the lead in laughing, as if it was just a common joke, and changed the subject, “Let’s talk about it later when we arrive at the Sunset Tower Hotel. I just talked to Kai Vin Fitch said, I plan to work with you to develop the Hulk trilogy, we can sit down and have a good talk. Then, Lang didn't give Lance a chance to respond, he patted Lance on the shoulder, turned around Just left.

In just a few sentences, the amount of information is indeed a bit large.

Now that he is still in the Kodak Theater, Lang can't wait to express his friendship to Lance. The reason is very simple. Universal Pictures needs Lance, and more importantly, projects like Invincible Hulk. He must send out a signal of active cooperation before other companies, even though he knows that Lance also has long-term cooperation intentions.

It can be clearly felt that Lance's position in the minds of the six major film companies has undergone a qualitative change.

Immediately afterward, Brad Gray also specially came over to express his congratulations to Lance. Although he didn't say much information, his intimacy attitude was different from other bigwigs. After all, the current personal relationship between Chaos Pictures and Paramount is the most Intimate - Paramount has just helped Chaos Pictures complete the development of videotape and DVD distribution channels, and the two parties also intend to jointly promote the screenwriter fund project to encourage the emergence of more excellent scripts.

Javier Ulliel waited by the side for a long time but did not find a gap. He waited until Lance got his two statuettes. He was about to leave the Kodak Theater, go back and change his clothes, and then went to the Sunset Tower Hotel to participate in the Oscar night. Javier Only then did he seize the opportunity and followed Lance towards the exit.

So, what's the plan for Chaos Films next? Javier was not polite, and went straight to the point, seeing Lance's secretive smile, Javier also laughed, You know, I'm a reporter, now your Everything you do is under the spotlight.

Lance frowned slightly, and said in surprise, I thought it had been like this since the beginning of 'City of God'. Javier paused and laughed dumbly. Lance shrugged, I want to enjoy tonight's victory first, you know, I have worked hard for a whole year. As for the future, I am thinking about whether I should take a vacation for a while. I have been working for too long. It was stiff, and I thought, I need a good rest.

Lance. Javier didn't believe the words at all, but Lance didn't say anything more, got into the car directly, and said with a smile, 2007, this is just the beginning, why are you so anxious? What? After speaking, Lance closed the car door and walked away.

Watching the vehicles gradually disappearing into the night, Javier shook his head with a chuckle. He had an intuition that everyone thought that last year was already earth-shaking, but maybe this year is the year when the tide really hits.

When he was in Rio de Janeiro, he chose to be stationed in the City of God crew, which should be the most correct decision in his life.
