118 Other plans

Emma looked at the business card in front of her. Her neatly trimmed nails were fluorescent under the golden sunlight, penetrated the blurry halo and could vaguely see the deep blue, as if the gentle and comfortable sound of waves came from her ears. Unconsciously, she raised her right hand, took the business card, put it in her palm, and felt the residual temperature on the business card.

In fact, she had no intention of taking this business card.

Sebastian let out a long sigh, turned to look at Emma, ​​and said sincerely, "I was rude just now. I mean it is true. If you are interested in acting..." But Emma didn't listen to these words. Her only thought was: she had wronged Lance just now.

Instead of standing by, Lance provided help in a more direct and effective way, which was much more affordable than George's verbal trick. Looking back on the two previous times when Lance extended a helping hand, but did not seek any reward, his misunderstanding became more and more absurd, which made Emma's cheeks flush and she raised her head to apologize to Lance.

However, after looking around, she did not see Lance at all. It seemed that George was gone, which surprised Emma a little. "They have left." Sebastian's voice sounded beside her. Emma stamped her feet in annoyance. She did not apologize to him or thank him. More importantly... she did not even introduce herself to him, and he still didn't know who she was.

Wait, can't he really not remember himself? Emma carefully recalled the two previous meetings in her mind, and the details emerged one by one, and the possibility was expanding endlessly, which made Emma even more ashamed.

"Hey, little lady, little lady!" Emma's thoughts were interrupted again. Little lady, this was what Lance called her, but when she looked up, she saw Sebastian's cute smile, and then she remembered Lance's joke just now, coach Anxi, which made Emma's smile no longer hold back and burst out laughing.

However, this time Emma quickly calmed down, "Mr. Derek, sorry, please forgive me for the misogyny just now." Emma quickly apologized, "I just had a bad day..." Emma tried to explain, but her words were cut off at this point, because now her mood was as bright as the sunset in the sky, and her smile gently outlined, "In addition, my mother seems to have already made plans for my agent, so I don't want to take your business card. I'm sorry I didn't have a good attitude just now."

Emma hopes to become an actress, which is also her reason for coming to Los Angeles. In order to realize her dream of being an actor, she even made a slideshow called "The Hollywood Project" and then used Madonna's song "Hollywood" to convince her parents to drop out of school and leave her hometown and go to California to pursue her dreams.

However, since she is only fourteen years old this year, her mother is more cautious and hopes to find out everything before making a decision. Therefore, even if she meets the favor of her agent on the street, she did not easily shake it.

"Oh, so that's it. Sorry, I was abrupt." Sebastian quickly apologized, but his face couldn't hide his disappointment.

I don’t know if it was influenced by Lance or if Coach Anxi was too impressed, Emma felt a sympathy in her heart, feeling that her rejection seemed too direct. What’s more, she really doesn’t have an agent now, maybe she can show her business card to her mother after she goes back. “Emma Stone.”

Emma's sudden self-introduction caught Sebastian off guard, "What?"

"I said, my name is Emma Stone." The Emma ghost stretched out his tender little palm and placed it in front of Sebastian.

Sebastian was stunned for a moment, and then solemnly held Emma's right hand, "Hello, Emma, ​​I'm Sebastian Derek. I'm very happy to know you."

After Lance and George left the coffee house, the two parted ways and went home.

After arriving at home, Lance touched his pocket and took out the rainbow candy, but found a piece of cardboard floating on the ground. He picked it up and saw it was Terence Cox's business card. Lance looked through it carefully. This card was well-made, simple and generous, and the texture was carefully designed. It can be seen that Terence is not a simple little character.

After thinking about it, Lance finally put his business card into the mess box on the bookshelf. He knew that he needed an agent to handle the matter, but so far, he could not trust anyone easily. Anyway, he didn't have much work recently, and even without an agent, Percy was enough to deal with it alone. As for the future... then I'll talk about it later.

The ringtone of the "Dingling" cell phone came over. Lance followed the ringtone and found the cell phone from his handbag. "This is Lancelot."

"Lance, this is Percy." A voice from the other end of the phone came over, "Is it convenient for you to speak now?" Percy naturally knew that Lance met George today. Although he didn't know the grudge between Lance and George - those who know about "good night, good luck" can count it with one hand, he knew that Lance is now a powerful enemy and must not be taken lightly.

"I just got home, tell me." Lance took a bag of rainbow candy, took off his leather shoes, walked barefoot all the way to the hall, and sat down on the sofa.

"I've inquired. Twentieth Century Fox is indeed preparing for such a disaster film, but the director and screenwriter have all been confirmed. Of course, the cast has not started to be selected yet. If you want it..." Percy faithfully reported the news he collected, but his words were interrupted by Lance. "Have the director and screenwriter signed a contract?"

"No." Percy replied, "There is no formal project yet, let alone signing a contract. What I heard is that the script is not satisfactory and is being revised. Neither the director nor the screenwriter can reach an agreement with the producer. Twentieth Century Fox intends to hand it over to Lionsgate Pictures for cooperation, but there are two other production companies that are competing and they have not signed a contract for the time being."

"What matters in a disaster film is not the script, but the special effects and rhythm." Lance said casually.

Just like for movies like "Transformers", it is meaningless to pursue the meticulous script, the ups and downs of the story, and the completeness of the characters. The reason why genre movies are become genre movies is because different movies focus differently. The only requirement for popcorn commercial movies is the explosion of adrenaline. As for how to make popcorn commercial movies successfully win the hearts of the audience, rhythm control and atmosphere rendering are crucial, Michael Bay (fan Chael-bay) is well aware of this.

Lance just commented and then retracted his attention, "So, now it can be said that there is nothing certain, except for a disaster film like this?"

Percy was speechless by Lance's rebuttal. He originally thought that the director and screenwriter had confirmed that the cooperative company was basically confirmed by Lionsgate, which was a foregone conclusion. But after Lance said that no contract was signed, and 20th Century Fox had not even established a project, so it seemed that nothing was confirmed.

Percy was stunned and came to his senses, "So, are we going to join this competition?"

Lance did not affirm, but did not deny it either, "Do you know the script has been revised, whose problem is it?" Percy gave a negative answer. It is not easy to find out such small news, "So has the screenwriter changed from beginning to end?"

"No." Percy is very sure of this answer. "Jeffrey-nachmanoff has always been in charge of writing. This is a screenwriter who has never heard of a name. If the record of the screenwriter union is not wrong, this is his first work."

Percy was indeed very capable. Even without Lance's explanation, the matter was investigated very thoroughly, and every corner of the corner was confirmed.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a German fellow in Roland Emme (Roland Emme), who recommended it to Twentieth Century Fox." Lance's words were guessing, but his tone was very certain. "You ask where Jeffrey has been working recently. If he is in the studio... then think of other ways." Speaking of this, Lance paused and suddenly changed the topic, "Yes, we want to join this competition. Not only as a production company, it is best to snatch the position of director and producer, and our company is fully responsible for the filming of this movie."

Percy's chin couldn't help but fall slightly. This was an investment of $125 million! However, Percy did not question Lance's words, but said with some uncertainty, "It seems that our company's staff is not enough, right?" We can't let all of them come out, right?

This is not "Troy". Competing for "Troy" mainly involves making a "competitive" attitude and making others believe it; competing for this work is a real appearance, so it is naturally impossible to say that "Chaos Pictures and 20th Century Fox have half of the staff" hastily proposals. If this is true, let alone competing with Lionsgate Pictures, I guess I can't even go up to the negotiating table.

When the filming of "City of God", there were only eight people in the entire crew, but now it is different. There is no need for a large lineup. Chaos Pictures' first expansion has come, and the profits of "City of God" are probably going to be revealed.

"I will make a list in two days. You and Albert will come to the door one by one to see how many people can be hired." Some people can be brought into Chaos Pictures as their direct line to prepare for the future; some people are mercenaries, and short-term use can play a huge role.

"Albert? Can't I go with Hayden?" Percy rubbed his temples with some depression, and felt a headache when he thought of Albert's noise.
