113 Glamorous

Diana slowly rotated the pen in her right hand, sipped the fragrant Mexican Cotepe coffee, looked at the white paper on the table, and fell into deep thought.

"Wolfgang-peter, Terry Gilliam, Anthony-Minghella, Sam Mendes, Mel Gibson, Richard Kelly, Lancelot-Straello."

The seven names are neatly arranged, and the name "Wolfgang-Peterson" at the top has been scratched by a black pen. There are some black dots of fountain pens scattered beside the remaining seven names. It can be seen that the owner has been thinking about this piece of paper for a long time.

Diana is thinking about the director candidates for "Troy". On this list, there are long-standing big directors, independent directors who have taken odd jobs, and new directors who have risen in the past two years, which is enough to show Warner Bros.'s emphasis on "Troy".

The reason why Wolfgang's name was crossed out was because he was not very interested in "Troy". After talking to him once, Wolfgang politely declined the invitation from Warner Bros. This made Diana quite regretful, otherwise the director who had directed outstanding works such as "Horror Zone", "Air Force One", and "Perfect Storm" would definitely be competent for the director of "Troy".

Looking down one by one, it finally fell on "Lancelot-Stralo". This director was very unfamiliar to Diana. She even knew that Richard Kelly was the director of "Detective Illusion" and her style was very unique, but the name Lancelot seemed to have suddenly become popular within the last two or three months. The movie "City of God" was really a glorious.

Diana doesn't trust such a new director. She just feels that such directors are not familiar with Hollywood running rules. Suddenly, they work with top production companies like Warner Bros. There may be many problems. However, Barry Meyer insists on adding this name, because the original idea of ​​"Troy" came from Lancelot - more importantly, before "City of God", Lance won a lot of attention as an excellent producer, and all this is worthy of being the helm of a big project like "Troy".

Diana carefully recalled the news about "City of God". She had never seen this movie, but just searched for the movie's media reviews and IDC scores. It can be felt that the director should also be full of personality, and it seems to be on the same route as Terry Gilliam, who is most optimistic about at present, but she doesn't know how capable of handling big scenes.

With a beep, the inside of the phone rang. Diana pressed the call button, and then her secretary said, "Diana, Mr. Strello has arrived."

"Let him in five minutes." After Diana finished speaking, she released the call button and looked at the clock. It was still ten minutes away from two o'clock. Their appointment time was two o'clock. It was on time, but not too urgent, and everything was just right. This gave Diana a good impression.

Today Diana will meet with the director and have a detailed discussion.

The knock on the door came, and Diana stood up and said loudly, "Please come in." Then she pulled the hem of her top to keep her dressed properly.

The office door was pushed open, and the sunlight at 2 o'clock in the afternoon shone into the room obliquely. Since the light outside the office was relatively dim, all the light rushed towards the gap in an instant. The dust floating in the air was like a naughty elf, singing loudly and jumping in one direction.

Then the man walked in.

He stood at the door so simply, the sunlight gently scattered on his shoulders, his short dark hair looked a little messy, and it seemed that he could see the rush and panic of going out from the ends of his hair. The golden light used the most delicate brushstrokes to depict the eyebrows and eyes bit by bit, as if the first ray of morning light above the Pacific Ocean, light but brilliant.

The man grabbed his hair in a hurry and showed an apology smile, "Sorry, my demeanor seems to be a little inappropriate, please forgive me for your rudeness." The moment the smile rises, the whole world becomes gentle.

Diana felt her heart stop beating, and she even forgot her breathing, but then she realized her loss of composure and her mind was blank. Her first reaction was to follow his words, "There is still a little time left before two o'clock, so why is it too hasty?"

The man seemed to have not reacted, and was stunned for a moment, then explained awkwardly, "I was preparing to give a speech in the bathroom downstairs for a while, and forgot the time. As a result, when he came out, he stepped on a water stain and slipped."

Diana burst out laughing. The man in front of her looked mature and steady, elegant and decent, and outstanding in temperament, but she acted like an eighteen-year-old boy. This contrast made people laugh, "So, are you always so reckless?" She recognized him. The man she met on Wednesday in "Nora's Beans" with a majestic temperament and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. She recognized him at first sight.

Lance seemed to recognize Diana at this time, and the expression on his face paused. The aphrodisiac slowly faded away like a tide, revealing the wisdom and cunning of a mature man. "If I remember correctly, that was not my fault..." But after he was halfway through his words, he paused, then raised his hands and showed a helpless smile, "Yes, I am always so reckless."

As a gentleman, you should not seize the mistakes of a woman.

Diana was deeply addicted to this contradictory temperament of a man. She herself didn't notice it. The smile on the corner of her mouth had already bloomed, "No, it was indeed my fault last time."

"I hope that accident will not disturb our work today." Lance raised the briefcase in his hand. Only then did Diana notice Lance's clothes today.

The dark blue shirt and a small white stand-up collar are like a wide ocean against the backdrop of those blue eyes, gentle and vast, with slightly messy black short hair that brings the temperament between men and boys, gentleness and wildness, brightness and melancholy to the extreme.

"Of course, of course." Diana took the initiative to walk out and led Lance to sit down on the sofa in the center. She completely forgot that she originally planned to receive guests at her desk. "So, are you Lancelot-Stralo?" Diana stood opposite Lance and asked in surprise.

Lance was a little embarrassed, "I thought I introduced myself last time, for my dry cleaning fee." This teasing made Diana gently bit her lower lip and let out a coquettish voice. Lance immediately smiled and stretched out his right hand, "I met for the first time. I am Lancelot, I hope the next cooperation will be pleasant."

Diana held Lance's right hand, wide and strong, with a little coldness, just like a breeze in summer blowing past her face, making Diana reluctant to let go. But Lance still abides with etiquette and just holds it gently, which forced Diana to let go of her right hand, "Cooperation? It depends on your next performance." Although it was a questioning word, Diana spoke extremely relaxed and freehand, and her mood slowly rose as if she had reached a hot air balloon.

"Of course there is no problem." Lance quickly and skillfully opened his briefcase, took out a stack of information files from it, and explained, "I am used to introducing some of my ideas in this way, which is easier to understand, so it takes some time, sorry."

Diana's eyes remained reluctantly on Lance's hands, her slender fingers were like vigorous bamboo, and her every move was indescribable beauty. Then she saw the hands lifting up, grab a stack of information, and place it in front of her. This made Diana a little panicked, and she quickly raised her head, and accidentally crashed into the blue sea.

"That's how I think. The story of Trojan Horse is almost well-known, but not everyone can become a great hero. What is hidden behind the hero is the pain that ordinary people do not know, and emotions. Even heroes are all ordinary people, and the emotions they experience will inevitably easily awaken everyone's inner feelings. So, I think this can become the entry point of the movie - emotion..."

The information in Lance's hand is like a printed slide, which briefly introduces the summary, and then Lance gives a detailed explanation based on these summary.

Under Lance's focused gaze, Diana felt her cheeks start to get hot, and even felt a little panicked in her heart. The girlish shyness and astringency slowly rose in the scorching eyes, which made Diana look away uncomfortably. But even so, she could still feel the burning gaze locked firmly on her body, like a shadow.

This gaze is not aggressive, but it is like the golden sunshine that penetrates the dense branches and leaves of the forest. It is dazzling but not dazzling, warm but not burning, wrapping and melting it bit by bit.

Diana felt that the air in the office was boiling little by little, and that indescribable heat arose, which made Diana a little nervous and annoyed - she was not a little girl who had not yet been experienced, so she was shy! But when she raised her eyes, she bumped into the shimmering eyes again, and her heartbeat completely chaotic.

"What's wrong?" Lance seemed to notice Diana's strangeness and asked uneasily.

"No, it's okay." Diana waved her hands repeatedly, then took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down and not act like a hungry old virgin. Diana picked up the cup in front of her, took a sip, and then realized that it was Mexican Cotepe coffee, which made her move pause, "I just think your idea is very interesting. So, you came up with this idea at the beginning? Put the story of the Trojan Horse onto the big screen?"

Lance put down the information in his hand, put his hands on his knees, and made a shallow curve in the corner of his mouth. "Wonderful ideas are always coming out, and I didn't expect that the Warner Brothers would be really interested."
