Movie Master

Lance listened carefully, and at the end of the words, the surprise on his expression slowly permeated, and gradually turned into bewilderment. There was also a touch of apology and hesitation.

Even without saying a word, all the emotions are already written on the face.

Jerry finished speaking in one go, without noticing the subtle changes in Lance's mood. But after the words were finished, the face in sight was not flattered as expected, but hesitant and hesitant, as if he was considering his own words, which made Jerry a little baffled, and he didn't understand what happened. .

Then Jerry heard Lance's sincere voice, I'm sorry. The smile on the corner of his mouth slowly froze. After so many years of rolling in Hollywood, he knows better than anyone what this sentence means when used on this occasion , I can't take this director job. I think Gore Verbinski's work is very good, which is hard for me to surpass. He will be more suitable for this job than me.

Jerry's facial expression was completely frozen, and he couldn't react for a while. For a millisecond, his brain froze...

Obviously Lance is just a fledgling new director, obviously the opportunity to direct a 500 million project is a rare opportunity, obviously Lance has been trying his best to fight for it in the past two months, obviously Lance was also very excited when he heard the news just now, obviously Lance should be grateful to Dade...but, why did he say sorry? Here, what link went wrong?

Eric sat next to him, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, obviously he didn't expect that Lance would refuse! Even if it is unimaginable to describe it, it is no exaggeration. Looking back on the efforts Lance has made in the past few months, as well as the disputes within Disney, it seems that there are all signs that Lance is very eager to be the director of Pirates of the Caribbean. barrel, but there is little hope. Now, the position of director was finally handed over to Lance, but he actually refused! Eric only felt that his head was short-circuited for an instant, and he couldn't react at all.

Subconsciously, Eric turned his head and looked at Jerry for help, wanting to ask Jerry for advice. Then Eric saw Jerry's unbelievable astonishment and shock, and even smelled a sense of humiliation. Inexplicably, Eric felt a sense of joy and pleasure, but he quickly suppressed it, quickly withdrew his gaze, and curiously cast an inquiring gaze on Lance.

Lance noticed Eric's eyes, he turned his head and responded with a smile, with a hint of friendliness in his apology, and then he shrugged slightly, Of course, I have finished the creation of the previous version of the script, although No revisions. But if you want to use this version, it's my pleasure, of course.

Shame, this is simply a great shame!

Hearing Lance's pretentious words, it was like a loud slap on the face. It was like being spat on by a blonde girl, which completely angered Jerry. The humiliation was unprecedented. Jerry I just want to walk away and give Lance a good lesson, so that he knows what is measured!

But, but he knew he couldn't. Jerry is not a fledgling young man anymore. He has been in this industry for more than 30 years. He knows better than anyone that losing control of his emotions at this time is the only way to lose and lose. What's more, the Pirates of the Caribbean project is no longer that simple. Michael and Robert are both staring at this project now, and he is stepping on two boats. If one is not careful, he may fall into the ditch.

Therefore, not only could he not leave, but he had to stay to finish the matter and even persuade Lance to take over the project.

Suddenly, Jerry felt that Eric sitting next to him was in the way. Why did he follow? Could it be that he deliberately wants to see his own jokes? If so, was Eric sent by Robert, or Michael? If not, can he shut up when he goes back?

Countless thoughts rushed up, but Jerry didn't have time to think, because the most urgent thing was Lance in front of him. Originally thought this was an absolute opportunity to declare his strong position, but now Jerry finds himself caught in a dilemma.

If he continues to persuade Lance, it will be tantamount to lowering his posture and waiting for Lance to continue to slap him in the face; what's more, Lance has already said the reason-he thinks Gore is more suitable, and it was Jerry's decision to choose Gore in the first place , if Jerry retorts, it means he slaps himself in the face.

But if he gives up, how will Disney explain it internally? What would Michael and Robert think, if both of them suspected that he was in the way... Jerry couldn't help but shudder.

I never knew you were such a humble person. In just the blink of an eye, Jerry's mind was already full of vicissitudes. He forced himself to smile, pushed away the stiff muscles, and relaxed his expression again. Come, Hehe, how outstanding your ability is, I think you have proved yourself.

Although he could say compliments at his fingertips, looking at the low-key and humble Lance in front of him, Jerry felt like his tongue was sore, and he couldn't say words of praise at all.

Lance seemed not to notice Jerry's abnormality, and shook his head with a chuckle, I don't think so. 'Pirates of the Caribbean' is a work with a unique style, and I don't think I can do it. What's more, Ge Er performed very well in the first work, and the crew worked very harmoniously. Under the harmonious atmosphere, he is bound to be able to create better works. It is impossible for anyone to do better than him .” Lance shrugged, his eyes sparkling slightly. We don't like 'Pirates of the Caribbean' being another 'Waterworld,' don't we?

Grass!

Jerry only felt as if he had broken the armrest of the sofa. Only a week ago, he meaningfully mentioned the future water world in front of Lance, just to frighten Lance, but now he is shooting a stone at himself feet. If Lance didn't know anything, Jerry committed suicide on the spot! Then this also means... Lance did it on purpose, Lance humiliated himself on purpose!

After realizing this, Jerry felt that he was about to explode. The other party had already slapped him, but he still wanted to slap the other cheek with a smile. It was worse than killing him.

Haha. Jerry laughed dryly, his throat was so dry and uncomfortably dry, his voice was like sandpaper, You're right, no one wants that. Hollywood is a very small circle. , and finally found that the objects of cooperation are always those batches, so we always hope that the atmosphere of the crew will be more harmonious. After all, even if it is not this work, the next work will continue to cooperate, right?

Jerry's words were almost squeezed out between his teeth, half threatening and half persuasive, hoping to let Lance understand the truth: if you offend him, no one will be able to please in the end. If the fish dies and the net breaks, it will be Lance who will suffer. This is 100% certain.

But Lance didn't seem to be getting any more, he just nodded with a smile, as if he was responding to his words, but he didn't express anything. Jerry gritted his teeth, managed to calm down his emotions again, and maintained the smile that was about to collapse, Believe me, the reason we chose you is because you are suitable. Your talent makes us all welcome. Amazing, there are 6,000 people in the academy, you have already won the hearts of most of them, and this is the best proof. Jerry was complimenting Lance with an Oscar nomination.

What's more, your script is so good, it can be described as amazing. God, bold and delicate, wonderful and accurate, this is a good script that is rarely seen in ten years for a commercial film. So, No one is more suitable than you. You are the one to direct this movie. I believe you will give a perfect answer to the frame of the script, the control of the rhythm, and the creation of the climax. We can’t wait!

Jerry found himself almost at the end of words, racked his brains to praise Lance, and almost said it's you, and then came this sentence... We all firmly believe that this The director of this work is none other than you!

Eric was sitting on pins and needles, and he suddenly realized that Jerry was completely humiliated today, and he was the only bystander. Jerry can take it out on Lance, and that's fine; if he can't, he's going to be the scapegoat, which is... a disaster. However, thinking about it carefully, Eric felt that it was worth it, because Jerry hadn't received such treatment for seven or eight years. If Jerry hadn't been involved in Disney's power struggle, he had to be careful, and he didn't need to face it. For today's situation, but, this is life, if you want to win more, you have to give more, which is fair-or you can say, you have to pay for yourself.

Thinking of this, the corners of Eric's mouth raised slightly.

Wow, Jerry, you make me blush. ​​Lance sat upright and listened to all of Jerry's compliments, and then sighed dryly, but the words were not sincere at all, and seemed to be mocking, I really Thank you very much for your appreciation. However, my current schedule is not open, and another job has stopped me. Lance glanced at the cartoons in the room, implying, So, although I I really want to join the crew of 'Pirates of the Caribbean', but unfortunately, we can only look forward to the next time. However, I must thank you again for your sincere invitation, it is my honor.

Jerry almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. So, Lance did it on purpose. He obviously could have refused early on the grounds of conflicting schedules, but he kept his mouth shut, watching him bite the bullet and say those nasty words, ruthlessly in this way. Humiliated him once.

Jerry's hands were tightly clenched into fists, trembling slightly from too much force. However, Lance did not give him a chance to vent, he still kept a bright smile, and said sincerely and modestly, However, as I said, if there is a place where I can be used in the script, I am very willing to make a force.

That smile made Jerry just want to tear it apart!
