Faced with Jason's question, Ryan and George didn't want to pay attention, but Tucker turned his head and said, "He is no longer the person we know, otherwise, the City of God would not have achieved such excellent results. ※% I have asked about it. The promotional plan has nothing to do with Paramount, it is all Lance's idea, from posters to trailers to blogs."

Jason was silent.

Tucker's words made Ryan irritate again. As long as he thinks about the recent achievements of "City of God", a nameless fire burning in his heart. Ryan unconsciously pulled the hem of his suit to try to relieve his emotions, but the words that surged to his mouth were still spit out, "Lance is alone, busy with the release and promotion of movies, and is trying to make trouble for these things, how is it possible!"

Chaos Pictures' legal representative column wrote the name "Lancelot-Stralo" and it was not difficult to investigate this matter at all. At present, Chaos Pictures doesn't even have an office address, and they all rely on Lance and Percy. They have also inquired about these situations.

"I remember Lance mentioned how many older brothers he has." Jason suddenly spoke.

"His brothers are not people in the circle." Tucker directly denied this possibility.

George saw that the topic had already started to go off topic and quickly pulled back, "These are not the point! What do you think? Do you think Lance is setting off smoke bombs, or does he really want to participate in a big production?" This question made everyone silent again.

"If it was Lance in the past..." Ryan was depressed after saying a little. Lance in the past was easy to predict every move, but Lance now made him unable to see through it. This made Ryan seem unsteady. On the one hand, he didn't know whether he should believe Lance's actions, and on the other hand, he was still hesitant about big investment and big productions. He touched his chin and let out a long breath, and his irritability slowly calmed down. "What do you think? In the past few times, you have been in direct contact with Lance. How do you feel?"

"We are good friends, we are very good friends." George's answer was simple but affirmative, and firmly determined. "I think it's very likely. You know Lance's ambitions better than me." If they were still friends, then Lance would not deliberately hide it. George firmly believed this. "And, I heard that at Sundance Film Festival, he talked with Paramount not only about the distribution rights of the 'City of God'. Later, Lance and I confirmed it, but he did not deny it."

Although Lance has been very busy recently, George still kept in touch with Lance by phone and heard a lot of news.

"You mean, Paramount Pictures has been collecting novel adaptations in the past few months, because of Lance?" Tucker frowned. Most of the information was his job, so he knew the most about these detailed endings. Paramount's movements in the past three months were not obvious, but it was impossible to hide them from those who were interested.

George shrugged, "Who knows?" and then looked at Ryan again, "What do you think?"

"I think we should take action." Tucker interrupted, "We have missed two opportunities, and we shouldn't miss the third time." After this sentence, Ryan raised his head and stared at Tucker fiercely. Tucker was talking about "Harry Potter" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", but Tucker was not afraid at all. He looked back straight, which made Ryan a little short of breath. "What's more, 'City of God' has achieved success, which also won Lance's bargaining chips. The possibility of him winning the big production is even higher. Do we really have to sit here and wait?"

Tucker's words were aggressive, which made the atmosphere in the office a little tense. Ryan pulled the hem of his clothes, hesitated again and again, and said, "No hurry, you go to New York next week to inquire."

Ryan was still too conservative after all, which made Tucker stand up angrily, hit the chair, slapped the table and raised his voice, "No rush? Think about it, first it was Warner Brothers, then Disney, and now it is Paramount. If Lance is not planning anything, no ghosts believe it. Do you really want us to continue to sit and wait for death? At the beginning, 'Harry..." Tucker's words were just as they said, so Ryan suddenly raised his head and glared fiercely. Tucker's words couldn't help swallowing them. "Harry Potter" has become a taboo topic within the company. Even if he can allude, he can't mention it directly.

As soon as the topic changed, Tucker continued, "You always look back and forth, always worrying that you are too radical and will lead to a company's failure. But this is Hollywood, without gambling, you will not succeed! This is the case when choosing works, and the same is true for the company's shares. You want to seek venture capital and then for individual shareholders, and you will be swaying. Then you will give George five percent of the shares on my back and forth, what do you mean?"

The topic I avoided just now was raised again this time, and Ryan suddenly raised his head, "Tuck, don't say it, you don't know how much George's connections are in the circle, and how much help he has helped the company, you should know better than me."

But Tucker didn't buy it at all. "When it comes to helping, Lance can help the company more? But why did we join forces to drive him out?" This made the office quiet. Tucker continued, "I have no objection to inviting individual shareholders, and I think Jason has no objection, but the problem is that you bypassed us. Now, should Jason and I start to worry too?"

Worrying to follow Lance's footsteps.

"Tuck! Do you know what you are talking about?" Ryan also slapped the table and stood up. His words were sharp, which made Tucker pause and his arrogance suddenly faded. But Tucker thought about it, but he was still unwilling to give up. He stubbornly said, "What do you think? Should we take action?"

"Look again, I mean, look again, $100 million, or even more investment, this is too burdensome for us..." Before Ryan finished speaking, Tucker kicked the chair away in annoyance, and there was a clanging sound, and then Tucker left the office angrily.

Ryan looked at Tucker who was leaving impulsively, put his hands on his waist, his chest drifted violently, and finally looked at Jason and George, "So, do you think we should take action?"

Jason shrugged, "You know what I think." Then he stood up slowly, turned around and left the office.

After Lance left, Ryan talked with Jason twice. Jason always believed that there was "Harry Potter" first and "Pirates of the Caribbean". Lance's actions are worth learning from.

Ryan could only turn his eyes to George. George spread his hands open and looked calm. His ambitions had never been hidden. Ryan was blocked directly. He thought about it seriously and waved his hand, "Look again, I mean...Look again."

Be careful to sail the ship for a thousand years.

Lance naturally didn't know about the conversation that happened within Diorama, but from George's recent frequent indirects, it can be seen that the previous foreshadowing was working. However, Lance knew Ryan, and he would never take this step easily, otherwise they would not have made a fuss. This was the case when he bought the revised copyright of "Harry Potter" in 1998. It has not allowed Ryan to go out of safety for five years. Only strong medicine can achieve the goal.

The previous preparation was only considered an appetizer. "City of God" was like an appetizer. Now it should be the time to serve the main course. If you ask you to get into the trap, he will make Ryan willingly step into the trap.

Brad Grey watched Lance unpacking the sugar bags in packs and then pouring them into the coffee one by one. He couldn't help laughing, and he endured it again and again, but still couldn't help it. "Why don't you just call a cappuccino or caramel macchiato? Why do you want to call a cup of black coffee, and then..."

"Scale a cup of coffee?" Lance took the initiative to take the topic. He was very self-aware of this. Ian had despised him countless times. Lance's honesty made Brad chuckle, and Lance continued, "Because I like the aroma of black coffee, but I don't like the sourness. If I can, I will choose Mantening; if not, I will choose black coffee and add sugar according to my preference."

Brad couldn't help but feel that Lance was indeed an interesting person. "By the way, Shirley asked me to bring greetings." Brad thought of this and took the initiative to mention it.

Lance raised his eyebrows, "The head of Paramount?" Shirley Lansing, the only female CEO of the eight major Hollywood film companies. "I don't believe that she is because of the outstanding performance of 'City of God'."

"You can't deny that this work performed very well." Brad said with a smile. They will meet today mainly for the "City of God."

The release of "City of God" is coming to an end, and the box office dividends have also come out. Chaos Pictures can get a dividend of $15 million by relying on an independent film alone. Even after deducting taxes, it is undoubtedly a hearty victory. Today Brad came here to give Lance the first dividend of $3 million, which is considered a lottery draw and pave the way for future cooperation possibilities. The subsequent dividends will be directly transferred to Lance's bank account.

Lance pointed to the envelope on the desktop with his finger. The check contained in the envelope was the first pot of gold after leaving Diorama Pictures. It was of great significance and also the start-up capital for Chaos Pictures to develop. Everything started to sail from here. Then Lance smiled, "But it wasn't enough to make Shirley look sideways."

For Paramount Pictures, such a little profit is not worth mentioning at all.

Brad did not deny that, "She thought it was very interesting because of the promotional method of the blog." Not only Shirley, but now everyone in Hollywood finds this promotional method interesting, but not necessarily everyone can play with it.

As the first person to eat crabs, Lance is impressive and enough to make Shirley look at her.
