Movie Master

The requirement to be listed on the blacklist is very simple, six recommendations, any work can be recommended by six people, it can be listed, and then ranked according to the number of recommended people.

Hard Fruit Candy just received six recommendations, and among the eighty-six works, it ranked seventy-seventh. In fact, almost all the works at the end of the list are six recommendations, and there is no separate ranking. . But from this detail, it can be seen that the script has not received much attention.

From the perspective of the producer, the shooting cost of Hard Fruit Candy is very low. You only need to rent a house to shoot the whole process. There is no need for a studio, and the influence of natural factors is minimal; Four, the main scenes are all around the male and female protagonists, which also ensures that the shooting progress will be relatively fast. The overall production scale is even smaller than City of God.

Lance made a simple estimate, and the budget of the entire movie can be controlled under one million dollars. Of course, the main cost will be concentrated on the actors, and the two leading actors will bear most of the weight, and will also play a decisive role in the depth and thickness of the film. If you find high-quality and cheap actors, the cost can continue to be reduced.

However, this work is also less popular than City of God, and it is difficult to achieve good box office results. Considering the excellent box office figures of City of God in North America at 60 million, it is almost certain that Fruit Candy will be the worst box office performer among Lance's current works.

Even so, Lance is still full of interest in the script of Hard Candy. Unlike the previous four works, this is the first work that Lance actively wants to shoot, without any box office pressure or winning ambitions. A work that belongs to Lance's personal style.

Regardless of whether it ends up in production or not, it's time to read Bryan's first draft of the script before making a final decision.

During the period of thinking, the sun began to slant in the blink of an eye. Theo and Ian were still in a meeting. Not only was Lance's proposal today, they also needed to make adjustments to the company structure, and then redistribute power and responsibilities , This is the basis for a mature company to succeed; Gao Wen was also in a meeting with them. Although Gao Wen is an athlete, he has a very high football quotient and has his own understanding of the management methods of league teams. He really gave a lot of advice, but seeing that the sky had darkened, Gao Wen went to cook first.

Lance. Gawain returned to the balcony and knocked on the wooden door. When Lance raised his head, Gawain explained, Ian said that the distribution department must have at least three works a year, and you can Give him the list for this year, and then... Sensing Lance's sharp eyes, Gawain raised his hands, holding a spoon in his hand, looking really funny, Ian said this, no? I said. There is a wrong and a debt, don't find the wrong person. Then, if there is a high-investment plan for filming next year or the year after, you'd better announce it in advance, because if we start shorting, we will Liquidity is going to be tight and they've factored in bank loans.

Lance couldn't help rolling his eyes. Chaos Films is not Warner Bros. The scale is too small now. He has no way to make plans for the next one or two years in advance. A six-month development plan is the most sensible.

Seeing that Lance wanted to refute, Gawain shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless expression on his face, Brother, you dug this trap yourself. It was rare to see that Lance was embarrassed in front of Gawain, and did not refute. This made Gawain laugh triumphantly, and Lance pouted speechlessly, After the company closes down, I will let you wear Superman's tights and take pictures with tourists on Hollywood Boulevard. This sentence made Gawain's smile stiffen immediately Stopped, his face became gloomy after a brush, and his teeth itched with hatred.

It's almost time, go to the next door and ask Emma if you want to come over for dinner. There is almost nothing to eat at the party. Gawain changed the subject and explained, and then said, When the time comes, you will wear a spider Heroine's tights, and ran away without giving Lance any chance to refute.

Lance couldn't help chuckling, put down the blacklist in his hand, walked around to the main entrance of Nicole's villa, and knocked on the door again. But after waiting for a while, no one responded, and he could faintly hear the sound of giggling and laughter. Thinking about it, he was sitting on the balcony in the backyard just now, and he didn’t see anyone in the backyard next door, so he knew that the ladies should be upstairs now. Dress up for the evening party.

He patted the door with his palm again, but still didn't get a response. Lance couldn't help but took two steps back, raised his head and looked towards the second floor, thinking about the possible consequences of breaking the door directly, and then in the corner on the left hand side There was a low chuckle, You know, from this point of view, you don't seem to be that tall anymore.

Following the sound, Lance saw the petite figure of Scarlett Johansson sitting on the window sill. Her exquisite figure was like a Persian cat, curled up lazily, her white legs crossed together , the gorgeous sunset glowed on the soft skin, and even the toenails that looked like shells could be seen.

From here, you don't seem to be so petite anymore. With a sly gleam in Lance's eyes, he fought back neither humble nor humble.

I thought men liked petite ones. Scarlett wasn't angry, and looked at Lance provocatively, with evil charms between her brows and eyes, Because it can inflate a man's self-esteem.

So that's why you're so popular? Lance raised his eyebrows, jokingly said, and then paused for half a second, Or, that's why you're so confident? Scarlett used feminism There was an attack, and Lance retaliated with machismo, and it really sparked.

Are you expressing your affection to me? Scarlett half-closed her eyes, and the thin halo between the haze made her deep facial features more charming, with a deadly sex appeal.

Lance pursed his lips slightly, I thought you were the one who spoke first. The half-smiling eyes seemed to be teasing a Persian cat. It was obvious that Lance was the one who was underdog, but the imposing manner But he showed no weakness.

Scarlett shook her head lightly, It seems that men always have the illusion that all women are attracted to Mr. Darcy. But you have forgotten that there is only one Mr. Darcy, not everyone can be Mr. Darcy .” This is mocking Lance’s arrogance.

Lance closed his jaw, as if he suddenly realized it at this time. After about a second, he raised his head again and looked at Scarlett, So, do you want to have a drink together tonight?

I already have a date. Scarlett refused without any hesitation at all, as if the door was closed at noon.

Lance shrugged, but he didn't mind. He was straightforward, as if the invitation just now was not sincere at all. Then he walked again, walked to the porch on the first floor, and knocked on the door. Scarlett didn't pause either, she turned her gaze away from the window sill, and began to dress up for tonight's party.

This time, the door opened, and it was Amanda Seyfried who opened the door. After seeing the person coming, Amanda bit her lower lip, seemed a little annoyed, but seemed a little hesitant, What's wrong? Amanda didn't He said it angrily, but because his mood was not stable, it was more like acting like a baby.

Before Lance had time to explain his reason for coming, Emma Stone and Dakota Fanning ran over. Emma was wearing an orange T-shirt with jeans, youthful and charming, even though In front of the well-dressed Amanda, she is not inferior; Dakota is wearing a white lace skirt, which is cute and cute. The appearance of the little adult has a maturity that does not match her age, which makes people smile.

So, are you going to have a party here first, and then go to enjoy the movie night; or are you going to have dinner, and then start watching the movie directly? Lance looked at Dakota and said, his words softened Some, he always did this when facing the child, and then his eyes fell on Emma, ​​but Emma seemed to be a little awkward, avoiding his sight, he didn't know why, just happened that Dakota had already repeatedly Nodding gave the answer, It's over now, now.

Before the voice fell, Dakota pulled Emma outside.

Emma felt a little excited when she saw Lance, but listening to Lance's tone made her feel a little uncomfortable. She followed Dakota for two steps, but she still couldn't hold back and turned around. He ran up to Lance and said seriously, I'm sixteen! Not a kid anymore. She doesn't want Lance to treat herself as a child, she doesn't like Lance's tone of speaking to children, she is already sixteen years old, she is already a big girl! After finishing speaking, Emma wanted to explain a few more words, but looking at Lance in front of her, she didn't know how to continue speaking, and she got stuck for a while. So, without waiting for Lance to respond, he turned around and ran towards the next door with Dakota.

Lance stood there, completely confused, what did Emma mean by what he said just now? But Amanda in front of him was also absent-minded, and seemed to have no intention of caring at all. Lance didn't intend to tell Amanda much, so he smiled, If you think the party is boring, welcome to join the movie night. After finishing speaking, Lance turned and left, leaving Amanda alone at the door, a little dazed, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lance returned along the same road, and then saw Emma and Dakota sitting on the sofa in the hall. He stopped involuntarily and started scratching his head—there were suddenly two more guests in the house, and they were both children. Girls, this was not planned. He couldn't let them play baseball catch.

So... are you going to pick a movie to watch tonight now?
