Movie Master

The Welcome to Your Sin City event finally selected 15 groups of winning works, covering a total of 53 creators.

As the premiere was in full swing, Lance spent thirty minutes patiently and unhurriedly talking to each group and even each of the winners, and it wasn't a thank you for coming This kind of social polite scene is a real communication with something to say.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is an act that has completely misplaced the focus. But for Lance, it was a very important job. He flew to New York three times in person to communicate and explain with the Museum of Modern Art, which finally led to the sublimation of the whole activity.

This is not only a breakthrough in improving the style and quality of Sin City, but also an important step in paving the way for the future of Chaos Films.

However, among the actors who participated in Sin City, Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Benicio Del Toro, Elijah Wood and others all have good contacts in Hollywood, and each invited Three or five friends were present, plus the top big names specially invited by Lance, all these made tonight's premiere very lively. Even if Lance is absent temporarily, it seems innocuous.

By the time Lance finished communicating with the award-winning contestants, all the main actors of Sin City had arrived at the scene, and the important guests also arrived one after another. Lance returned to the premiere and joined the guest exchange session. After being busy for nearly 30 minutes, it came to a temporary conclusion. Next, the reporters and the audience will enter the venue one after another. The true face of the film Coming soon.

Everyone took the initiative to greet Lance. Even if it was just a short walk from the door into the auditorium, Lance almost paused three steps at a time. From a distance, he saw George Clooney and Barry Meyer together. Waiting for him at the entrance of the screening hall, but it took Lance 20 minutes to walk in front of the two of them.

Wow, it seems that we'd better make an appointment in advance. George's joke made Lance chuckle, and said seriously, It's best to make an appointment a week in advance. This made George and Barry both Shuangshuang laughed, and Lance asked half-jokingly, So, what brought the two of you together?

George and Barry exchanged glances, and finally George said, Do you still remember the hand of friendship I extended to connect you?

Lance showed a look of sudden realization, pointed at George and said meaningfully, That's an excellent lie. A pun.

However, George didn't seem to understand the meaning of Lance's words. He shrugged his shoulders with a smile and accepted Lance's appreciation, Barry is about to announce the good news today, so he invited me here to be a witness. You know, pass on this Good news, maybe you should think about my dividend. After making Lance chuckle, George turned his head to look at Barry, and handed the conversation to Barry.

Hehe, it's amazing, isn't it? George can always describe things so interestingly and beautifully. Barry started with a joke, However, he's right. Except for the release of 'Sin City' today I can’t wait to feel the shock and surprise brought by this work,” said Barry, who was calm and witty, and easily controlled the atmosphere of the scene. “In addition , I also want to send a friendly signal. Barry looked around, at this time there were not many people left at the entrance of the auditorium, and the residual noise further reflected the excitement in the auditorium, I don't know if you are willing to take over The 'Superman Returns' project?

Foreboding.

When Lance saw George and Barry standing side by side, waiting for him at the entrance of the screening hall, he felt an ominous premonition deep in his heart. However, Lance faintly sensed something was wrong, which was difficult to describe in words. Looking at the excitement on Barry's face and the excitement in George's eyes, that terrible feeling is becoming more and more real bit by bit.

I know, I know. Barry raised his hands and made a move to stop Lance, as if to prevent Lance from refusing, This is a very difficult task, but also a very heavy task But to be honest, apart from you, I can't think of any other suitable candidates. To be more precise, even if someone recommends others, I think you are the only candidate. This job must belong to you! Gao Hat One after the other, To show our trust, we will hand over the final editing right to you, and at the same time, we will also give you the final decision on the script. Within the scope of the director's and producer's authority, we will give you the best Freedom. You can say whatever comes to your mind, and I will nod in agreement! The only requirement is to make a wonderful work and let us experience the style of Superman again.

boom!

The answer is finally revealed, and it turns out that this is the so-called good news. Literally, yes. Warner Bros. handed over the 300 million-cost Superman Returns to Lance, and at the same time handed over the final editing rights. This also means that within his professional scope, Lance has absolute control over the crew. In the period of the day after tomorrow and killing people with a borrowed knife, they could not enjoy the treatment. Not only can we clearly see the sincerity of Warner Bros., but we can also see that Lance's right to speak is increasing day by day. This is definitely an extremely important big step forward.

But is it really that simple?

What Lance asked for at the beginning was not the project of Superman Returns. What he asked for was the project of the entire DC universe, and what he asked for was the cooperation between Chaos Films and Warner Bros.

But today, Barry didn't mention the adaptation of DC comics at all, let alone the cooperation between the two companies - pay attention to Barry's words, the protagonist in each sentence is aimed at Lance alone, and he didn't mention it at all. Chaos Shadow Industry. No matter how powerful Warner Bros. gives Lance, Lance is still only a producer, a director, and a screenwriter—just a part-time worker, not a partner.

Especially when George was standing next to him, which meant that Barry didn't want to talk about those secrets. There is a project.

In fact, Lance has considered such a possibility at first. After all, Chaos Films is still too weak, and it is really difficult to become a big fat man with one bite; and in the current market environment, it is investing heavily in the comics industry. , This requires not only courage, but also guts, even Warner Bros. needs to think twice before acting.

But when Barry actually delivered the verdict, Lance still couldn't accept the result. He worked so hard, Ian and Theo worked so hard, not just for a Superman Returns.

Temporarily suppressing the boiling in his mind, Lance showed a flattered expression—since they want to act, he can fully cooperate, which is one of his majors, Really? It's really my honor, I Now I am a little excited, even my voice is trembling, please forgive me for being rude. Lance's lifelike expression vividly interprets the true meaning of moving heaven and earth, So, Warner Bros. really wants to put 'Superman Returns' 'Project to me?

Barry nodded vigorously, expressing his affirmation.

It's just the 'Return of Superman' project? Lance looked at Barry seriously and asked again for confirmation. This sentence may sound strange to outsiders, but Lance believes that Barry can hear the deep meaning inside. He needed affirmation from Barry himself.

Barry nodded vigorously again, expressing his affirmation without any hesitation.

Lance's eyes suddenly became deep. If Barry chooses a private place to have this conversation, it means that the two people can communicate slowly, and there is still room for maneuver; but Barry chose such a time point, such a On one occasion, George was invited to the side, not only with a tough attitude, but also to avoid further entanglement, almost stifling other possibilities with an absolutely strong posture.

Every detail of the entire behavior demonstrated the pride and strength of Warner Bros. as a top large film company, giving orders condescendingly, and even deprived Lance of the qualification for further negotiations. In Lance's view, this is like being a bitch and still erecting a torii, which is simply a kind of humiliation to him.

Although the major studios have always been this piss, it is not the first time Lance has felt this way; but this does not mean that Lance needs to continue to swallow his anger.

Between flashes and flints, countless thoughts surged through Lance's mind, and then he made a decisive decision, It is indeed my honor, but unfortunately, I don't think I can take over this project. Lance He said with a smile, the regret between his eyebrows was so obvious, as if he had missed a great blessing, he was regretful and regretful, and even a little annoyed.

Sometimes you can choose to compromise, but sometimes you have to be tough. Hesitating and being decisive will only make you fall into a worse situation. In the last life, Lance suffered from this shortcoming, and he will not let himself repeat the same mistakes. Therefore, after the decision was made, Lance had no regrets, no regrets, and no hesitation in his heart. The calm smile on his face did not change at all. It was as perfect as it was drawn after measuring with a ruler, I really want To work with Warner Bros., believe me, this is my heart's desire, but I'm afraid it won't work this time, and I can only wait for the next time.

Astonished, absolutely astonished!

Not only George, but even Barry's eyes flashed a moment of astonishment. The turbulent emotions surged, causing the facial muscles to temporarily lose control. He looked at Lance in disbelief, even making people suspicious. Is your sense of hearing wrong? The momentary shock and bewilderment caused a moment of stagnation in the air.
