Movie Master

Although Lance did not admit it, too much information had been leaked inside and outside the words, which was enough to make the reporters, including Brian, excited.

Brian sensed the anomaly. First, why did the dinner promised at the premiere of The Day After Tomorrow wait until now? Second, the source of the dinner was Lance's absence from the premiere of King Arthur. It was Keira who brought it up, and this topic will become the protagonist; third, after Lance and Keira separated, Lance actually went to Malibu to attend a party. If the date goes well, shouldn’t they continue to stay together, or go home separately? ? Also, Lance can clearly see signs of a hangover today. Is it just a party hangover, or is it caused by a low mood?

Lance is still the same Lance, always guarding against death and not pretending to speak, but due to his poor state, neither his tone nor his words are as strict as usual, and there is only a slight flaw. For that, it is enough.

Brian knew that he could get more information from Keira; at the same time, he could find out more inside stories from the crew of King Arthur and The Day After Tomorrow... Thinking of this, Brian suddenly noticed an important point: The box office of King Arthur is a mess right now, and the producer of this work is Jerry Bruckheimer... Brian realized that he seemed to have discovered some incredible information.

So, Lance, you and Keira stayed in the hotel for four hours, what the hell are you doing? Brian was still relentless, and finally caught Lance's handle, and it was such a breaking news. I will never give up easily.

Lance narrowed his eyes slightly, and the dangerous atmosphere permeated again, but Brian was not timid at all, and directly met Lance's sight, and sparks burst out in the instant confrontation, Brian did not Missing the trace of annoyance in Lance's eyes, Would you believe me if I said that we were chatting, talking about movies, about acting, and sharing each other's views and opinions?

Annoyed, why is Lance annoyed? Could it be that the reporter was chasing after him? Probably not, Lance is a cunning guy, even in the Troy premiere, with Brad Pitt and George Clooney teaming up; Could it be that Lance and Keira stayed in the hotel for four hours and really didn't succeed?

Thinking of this, Brian became more and more excited. This scandal is really getting more and more interesting.

Facing Lance's rhetorical question, the reporters around laughed and gave the answer in this way, then Lance shrugged, looking helpless, Don't act as if you care about my answer. After speaking, Lance took a step forward. This time, the reporter did not stop him, but watched Lance walk into the apartment building in front of him.

Brian looked back. There were at least twenty reporters around him. He ran away again, and the target was naturally Keira Knightley. Today's breaking news was pinned on Keira.

After Lance returned to the apartment, he ignored the reporters downstairs and called the Montage Hotel directly from his fixed phone at home. Cole's voice came quickly, and Lance simply said, I'm home and everything is going according to plan.

He has already started the plan step by step here, but Keira and Jerry are uncontrollable factors, so the next thing is to see Dorothy, how she skillfully releases the wind, and how she guides the direction of the media's public opinion. ...these are the domains of professionals.

Cole nodded to Dorothy who was sitting opposite, That's good, you can rest for a few hours first. It was almost noon at this time, and Lance could only sleep for one to two hours at most, and then he Get up and get ready for tonight's shoot. By the way, the information you left here...

Cole looked at Percy and Edgar who were sorting out the materials. Just now, Lance just said This is a gift for you, and then left without further explanation.

You can give Frank the shot concept map of 'Sin City' to browse, and then I will spare time to shoot a three-minute sample and explain my creative concept to him in detail, from the lens performance to the core idea. Lance Briefly explained the situation, If you still don't understand, you can ask Percy, we were busy all night last night.

Cole has completely fallen into a daze. He was guessing just now, maybe...couldn't...the result is really what he imagined. Now, Lance handed over the scripts of City of God and The Day After Tomorrow to him; told him the core idea of ​​Sin City; If he still failed to win the Sin City project, his agent really failed his duty.

Cole's heart was surging, but at the same time, he also felt the huge pressure on his shoulders. Lance had already tried his best, so whether he could beat Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, and whether he could convince Frank Miller, All the weight was on Cole's shoulders.

I see. Cole just said such a simple sentence, because Cole knows that rhetoric is not as good as practical actions, and winning the right to adapt Sin City is the best reward. If it can't be taken down...he will kill this if at the possible stage.

When Cole was about to hang up the phone, Percy's voice came over, Wait a minute. Cole looked up and Percy strode over and took the receiver, Lance , you need to give Ian a call.

Lance's brain paused for about half a second before he realized, Yes, I'll call now. After speaking, he hung up the phone. Percy originally wanted to persuade Lance to go to rest quickly, and he would call to wake him up when the time was up, but the words got stuck in his throat, so he could only put the receiver back speechlessly, and turned his head to look at Look at Cole and Dorothy, Now, it's our turn to get going.

With only a few hours left until the deadline for today's manuscript, things must be sped up.

Lance tucked himself into the sofa. Not only did he stay up all night last night, but he also experienced physical and mental labor. Now his brain does feel a little tired, and the gesture he made in front of the reporter just now was not entirely a performance. However, thinking that things are back on the right track, I feel more passion/passion despite being exhausted. If Sin City can be successfully won, it will definitely be gratifying for the development of Chaos Films.

The premise is that Chaos Films has enough funds to complete the shooting of Sin City.

Ian, is it convenient for you to answer the phone now? After the call was connected, Lance skipped all the politeness and said directly. However, unlike facing Cole or Dorothy, Lance looked very relaxed at this time, that kind of familiarity and intimacy was the softness after removing all the masks.

Hehe, every time I hear you talk like this, I know I have something to do. Ian teased him without losing face, and he was in a good mood from his smiling words.

I'm chasing a project that may cost 30 million yuan. I haven't made a budget yet. It's possible to reach 40 million yuan. Lance briefly explained the situation.

Forty million? Ian frowned, full of helplessness, Lancelot, you must dislike me for taking too easy work recently. A trace of pampering and helplessness could be smelled in the joking words, So , are you going to cooperate with a big company, or invest in the filming yourself?

If possible, of course it's best to shoot by yourself. Lance was not polite. Sin City is a work that requires a high degree of control. Such a stylized shooting is a serious challenge for any major film company. They will not agree-even if they agree, Lance does not want them Questioning repeatedly by the side all the time.

Ian pondered for a while, When will the cost budget come out? Ian didn't ask about the filming of Murder with a Borrowed Knife, let alone questioned Lance's greediness, and didn't even ask Lance what project he wanted to invest in. Take things lightly.

Not so fast, I'm still trying to win this project recently. Lance chuckled.

Ian pursed his lips and nodded, So, you also know that this is a huge sum of money. The whole project of the day after tomorrow made Chaos Pictures a profit of 44 million—this is pre-tax income, and Now, Lance opens his mouth to ask for 40 million in one breath, which is almost an impossible task for Chaos Pictures, unless Murder with a Borrowing Knife can usher in a big box office explosion after it is released, but Lance calls now Come here, which also means that he may not wait until Murder with a Borrowing Knife is released-at least not until the box office dividends are recorded.

Lance laughed dryly twice, but didn't reply. Ian laughed dumbly, I'll go back to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow. If you're not in a hurry, let's have a face-to-face meeting. You'd better sort out the project plan, and I'll make an assessment to see how the plan is more appropriate.

No problem! Lance's purpose is not to solve the problem, but to let Ian know about the problem, and Ian will leave the rest to it.

Go to sleep, your voice sounds terrible. Although Lance didn't say anything, Ian could hear Lance's exhaustion in his voice, Have you had lunch yet?

Ian, when did you become like Theo? Lance closed his eyes tiredly and said dumbfoundedly.

Ian shook his head, You also know that Theo will be worried. If Theo finds out, I will have to be reprimanded. You remember to eat something to pad your stomach, then go to sleep, and take a hot shower after getting up. Take a bath and go to work. After explaining a lot, Ian rubbed his temples depressedly, God, I don't sound sexy/sexy at all now, it's ruining my image. Said After finishing, Ian shuddered and shook his head in disgust, I'm dead.

Lance couldn't help but smile, Get lost!
