Movie Master

Mickey nodded, and he clenched his fists, but this time it was not out of anger, but out of excitement. After more than 20 years of ups and downs in Hollywood, he has seen all the vicissitudes of the world. He thought his life had come to an end, but today he saw a glimmer of hope, a slim hope, and then he was like a moth to a flame. Usually, he wants to grab it hard, which reminds him of when he was filming Betta Fish.

Thinking of this, Mickey was a little surprised, because the director of Betta Fish is Francis Ford Coppola, and now he puts Lance at such a high level.

Lance didn't notice the change in Mickey's heart, because he hadn't finished speaking, It's not that simple. Mickey had already nodded and agreed, and the matter seemed to be settled, but now Lance changed his tune again , This immediately made David's expression stiff, and Mickey frowned even more, his burning eyes protruded fiercely, obviously losing patience with Lance's playfulness.

Cole sitting next to him couldn't help turning his head to look at Lance, and then seeing Lance's calm and calm expression, he couldn't help but feel a little headache and a little funny - he had experienced such a toss from Lance before , Now watching Lance tormenting others, I feel inexplicably gloating.

You agreed to act, but it doesn't mean you can complete the task well. Faced with Mickey's rage, Lance always maintained a trace of calmness, and the peace and comfort in the midst of the sword is getting more and more eye-catching, I said However, this is a very difficult challenge, and my requirements are very high... Speaking of this, Lance slightly raised his eyebrows, and a hint of arrogance flashed through his clear eyes, David's heart tightened, He inexplicably remembered the rumors in the circle some time ago——

During the filming of Murder there were rumors in the circle that Lance and Tom Cruise went head-to-head. Not only swallowed his anger, but also lowered his haughty head, completely at the mercy of Lance.

After this rumor came out, everyone scoffed at it. Now in Hollywood, there is probably no one who can point Tom’s nose and yell. Maybe Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and other veterans have this ability, but they With this level of mixing, whoever is not an old fox will naturally not do such a stupid thing.

David also listened to it as a joke at the beginning, but today he has an ominous premonition.

I won't lower my standards just because you are my first choice. On the contrary, you must show a better level to prove my vision and your strength. Don't let me slap myself. Lance said The words were playful and witty, but Mickey couldn't laugh at all. He just felt that he had been underestimated again. He raised his eyebrows and wanted to get angry, but Lance lowered his head and avoided his eyes, making Mickey's anger go straight After hitting a void, I saw Lance take out a document from his briefcase and put it in front of Mickey, You don't need to make any promises to me here. Words are not as good as reality action.

Unknowingly, Mickey was led by the nose by Lance, lowered his head, it was the script of Sin City, and then Lance's voice continued, There are two files in it, one is the script, and the other is the script. This is the introduction of the character. But this introduction is not complete. I don't mind if you add more things to this introduction based on your own experience and ideas. I am very happy to wait for you to surprise me when we meet next time .But only if you don’t deviate from my setting.”

Mickey didn't care about Lance's words at all, and paused slightly when he opened the script. He didn't expect that Lance would attach so much importance to this role. He not only wrote a separate introduction, but also asked him to play the role freely. . This shows the weight of the role, and it also shows that Lance attaches great importance to him. This makes Mickey's hand muscles tighten up, and the turmoil in his heart can't be suppressed.

Mickey. Lance said again, but found that Mickey didn't intend to look up at all. Lance had to snap his fingers, Mickey! This time Mickey raised his head. When he arrived at the table, he suppressed his smile, and the serious look on his face made the air tense for a moment, then he slowed down his voice, Remember, don't reveal any news about the script, when I say 'any', it means All. Never.

That light and magnetic voice was flying in the air, but it had a penetrating coldness, making people believe without hesitation that if they violated these words, their fate would definitely not be too good.

After the words fell, Lance leaned back, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose again, Before the movie officially starts shooting, we will hold a script practice. I hope you can show a 100% state by then.

The polite remark was very polite, but there was a deeper meaning in the words: If the script practice did not go as expected, then he didn't mind changing people.

However, David didn't care at all. Lance is still a new director, not to mention that this work is an independent work produced by Chaos Films, and it can't stand the toss. authority. So, David showed a polite smile, Of course, of course. After a few words, Then the follow-up work?

This is asking about signing a contract. Lance took out a business card from his wallet, Just find a free time to go to the company. Before you go, call this number to make an appointment.

David couldn't help being stunned, how could there be such a thing? Generally, the film company sorts out the contract clearly and then faxes it to the brokerage company; even if it needs to be signed face-to-face, it is all done in the brokerage company. But think about it carefully, apart from City of God, this is the first time that Chaos Pictures has independently produced a film, and the cast of City of God is extremely special, so it is understandable that this time it was a little rushed.

So David restrained his thoughts and nodded politely, Of course there is no problem.

In fact, Lance is not ignorant of the truth, but since Chaos Films is not fully on track, legal matters can only be handed over to Theo, but Theo still has a job, and recently needs to be busy acquiring a trailer soundtrack company It is even more impossible to be stationed in Chaos Shadow Industry every day, so this kind of adjustment plan can only be used.

After seeing off David and Mickey, Cole carefully said, Are you sure you want to use Mickey? This was the second time Cole questioned it today.

Indeed, looking back at Mickey's history and his fall in recent years, Hollywood generally believes that Mickey's talent has been completely annihilated. In Hollywood, the most indispensable thing is genius. When one genius falls, ten geniuses will rise again.

However, Lance clearly knows that Mickey is indeed the best candidate for the role of Marv, not only because of Robert's choice in the previous life, but also because Mickey later became the most powerful contender for the actor with Wrestling King in 2008 It's a pity that they lost to the more powerful Sean Penn that year. In terms of strength, Mickey's skills are still there. Although he is somewhat limited and can only play specific roles, as long as he meets the right role, he can shine brilliantly.

Muffle is such a character.

Lance did not explain his thoughts in detail, but said lightly, There is always someone who wants to be the first to try, isn't it? Lance turned to look at Cole, Not every time you can afford Tom- Cruise's.

Cole couldn't hold back the joke, and burst out laughing, Lance, you are more charismatic than you imagined, maybe you should adjust your position. Lance raised his brows lightly, as if Unable to understand the meaning of Cole's words, Cole restrained his smile and resumed his serious posture, I mean, you are still a new director, but now there are many people who want to star in your work.

The corner of Lance's mouth tugged slightly, as if he was thinking about the authenticity of this sentence. In the end, he didn't say anything, but nodded his chin meaningfully, and looked back - he didn't seem to believe it, after all, the manager People always think that their artist is the best in the world, and managers must have confidence in the artist. If even they don’t believe in their artist, how can they sell the artist? Therefore, Lance was noncommittal. This made Cole shake his head helplessly, but he didn't persuade him any further.

In fact, Cole didn't receive praise because of his status as an agent. This is indeed a fact.

City of God made Lance stand out, The Day After Tomorrow made Lance gain attention, and Murder with a Borrowing Knife made Lance gain word of mouth. Although Murder with a Borrowing Knife has not yet been screened, and the quality is still unknown, after the film was completed, Tom gave a lot of praise for the focus and seriousness of the crew. This is a very rare thing-with Tom's current status, he does not need to please anyone. If a director comes in exchange for recognition, if it's just a matter of face, he can wait until the film's promotional period to save face in front of the media, but he expresses his praise in private, which shows that it is from the heart.

Accompanied by Tom's affirmation, the news that the crew is actively studying acting skills also spread like wildfire. These seemingly insignificant news made Lance's reputation steadily rise.

It's as if M-Nate Shyamalan established himself after filming The Sixth Sense, and now Lance already has a certain appeal. Maybe Lance didn't notice it just now, but Cole won't miss this detail. David and Mickey obviously didn't question Lance's words more, which is one of the evidences; Reese, Elijah Wood, Benicio Del Toro, these people all accepted the audition request without any hesitation, instead of asking to read the script first, let alone requiring Lance to visit the cottage, this all shows that Lance The weight of the signboard Sloat-Strellow is increasing little by little.

If the release of Murder with a Borrowing Knife can continue to be successful, then the success of three consecutive works will open up a whole new world for Lance. Cole has absolute confidence in this!
