Angelina's cardamom-dyed nails were tempted by a fatal temptation under the hazy light. She gently patted Lance's chest, then stuffed a small piece of paper into the upper right pocket, and raised her eyes slightly, and the almost whispered words came out from the flames' red lips, "I'm glad to know you, Mr. Strello." Her right hand pressed hard on the pocket again, as if she felt Lance's strong chest muscles through the fabric. After that, the blurry and ambiguous eyes slowly slid down along Lance's nose, and finally fell on Lance's lips. Her plump and rosy lips opened slightly, and she could vaguely see the white teeth inside and the tip of the tongue that was faintly visible between the teeth.

The scent of the dragonfly, which was like a dragonfly, spread slowly in the air like a rose. Even if Angelina turned around and left, the fragrance still lingered slowly on her fingertips, making her face blush and her heart beat.

Brad Gray looked at Angelina's waving away, and couldn't help but whistle softly, teasing, "Wow, this is a wonderful night, isn't it?"

Lance narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Angelina leave, but the focus was on Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston across the pool.

Lance thought this was a very interesting thing. He originally thought that Angelina and Brad had only hooked up during the filming of the movie "Operation Smith", but now it seems that things have been happening a long time ago - at least Angelina's actions are not that simple now. When Angelina was in love, she was always paying attention to Brad's every move in her eyes.

However, Brad Pitt at the other end of the swimming pool was too far away, so Lance couldn't tell whether he had noticed Angelina's actions.

Lance retracted his gaze and turned to look at Brad Gray beside him. He smiled and said, "It's indeed a wonderful night, if someone knew him a little."

This teasing made Brad stunned. Then he couldn't help laughing, "What a pity. Miss Julie should curse me behind her back." Brad raised the champagne glass in his hand, "I sincerely apologize here. However, I believe that things can always be saved as long as you want." Brad's eyes fell in the direction of Lance's chest pocket, but he smiled without saying a word.

"Some are worth it, some are not." Lance said meaningfully, but the casual tone gave Brad a different understanding - "The flowers and leaves do not touch the body" are always so confident.

Brad laughed lowly, "Then I think I'd better be ready to leave at any time, otherwise ladies will not let go." This teasing made Lance laugh, "Before I leave, I must finish the important things first, otherwise who knows, maybe in thirty minutes, I will miss the opportunity."

Lance was slightly stunned, and a possibility appeared in his mind, which made Lance feel a little surprised. Intuition denied this possibility, but he did not rush to reveal his true thoughts in his heart, but instead threw a puzzled look at Brad, waiting for the following.

Sure enough, Brad didn't keep it a secret, and immediately said, "The company is now preparing for a special project. We all think you are a very suitable candidate." Lance guessed it at once. The magic of Oscar Night is still continuing, but Lance still didn't say much and listened quietly, "This is a very interesting story. It tells the story of a taxi driver who took an ordinary passenger in an ordinary night shift. I originally thought it was just another ordinary journey, but I didn't expect that the passenger was a professional killer. So things began to become interesting."

Lance couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This is indeed a good idea, but it can develop many different styles. There are countless possibilities for the story. "So, is this 'fast and passion' or 'taxi driver'? Or is it 'this killer is not too cold' or 'seven deadly sins'?"

"Uh...this will be decided by the director, isn't it?" Brad was caught off guard. His understanding of the movie was naturally not as good as Reims. "But, as far as I know, the current script is more like 'stealing fire' or 'training day'. How about it, are you interested?"

Brad's fragmented words reminded Lance of a work, but there is still too little information at present. He needs to further confirm, "Does this work have a name?"

"'Borrowing a knife to kill someone', call this name for the time being. The specific situation will be determined after the director confirms it." Brad hesitated for a moment and said readily.

As expected! Lance couldn't help but snap his fingers in his heart. The work in his previous life was directed by Michael Mann (fan Chael-mann). It can rank among the top three of his best careers, comparable to "Stealing the Line of Fire" and "Shocking the Insider". It also won two Oscar nominations and received many praises from film critics.

"'Killing someone with a knife'?" Lance's inner thoughts were not leaked at all. "What's wrong with Martin Scorsese?" The preparations for this work began in the second half of last year. Lance once saw news in "Variety Show" magazine, and Martin has confirmed to direct it.

"There was no agreement." Brad said in an vague way, "In fact, we have talked to Spike Lee and Steven Spielberg one after another. They are very interested in the script, but in the process of revising the script, there were some conflicts in their shooting schedules, and they were ultimately unable to reach it."

The subtext of Brad's words is: We put you and these prominent names on the same level.

However, Lance was obviously not overwhelmed and still listened carefully. Brad didn't care, and then said half-jokingly, "At the beginning, we mentioned your name in fact, in fact, hoping that you can play one of the roles."

This sentence successfully attracted Lance's attention and chuckled, "Are you kidding?"

Brad was very interested in Lance's reaction and asked, "Why are you so surprised? I thought you would be happy to nod." Seeing that Lance was still not shaken, Brad couldn't help frowning, "If the information I investigated is correct, you have studied at the Royal Academy of Drama Arts for more than two years, right?"

Lance raised his eyebrows, "I thought it was a secret."

"In fact, when I see your resume, my first reaction is that you should become an actor, not a producer or director." Brad looked at Lance with great interest. I have to say that Lance is a natural actor. Just standing on the stage can attract people's attention. What's more, it's an academic school who comes from traditional British drama. It's really a huge regret not to become an actor.

Lance shrugged, "I am more keen to stand behind the camera and control everything than to stand in front of the camera and accept fiddling."

In fact, Lance failed to graduate from the Royal Academy of Drama and Arts, and he dropped out on the eve of graduation. He told Brad that the reason was one of the very important reasons. Compared with actors, Lance really likes the director's position more, and even the screenwriter is a more interesting choice.

But in addition to this, another reason is that Lance found that even within the British academic school, their prejudice against appearance is still very serious, and the advantages seen by others have become a stumbling block for Lance. People always think that he is "too handsome" and unable to play the role, or focus on his appearance, and then ignore his efforts in acting.

This is a very annoying thing.

Although Lance also admitted that he was young and energetic on the eve of graduation. If he did it again, he would choose to complete his studies; but the fact is that even after Li Jin came over and went over, he still could not get rid of the constraints of the "vase" in his life in New York. He had served as an acting teacher for a long time, but students always questioned his abilities, so that he was tired of explaining later.

So, in fact, Lance could feel the joy of being overwhelmed by ecstasy after Charlize Theron won the award tonight.

"So, you don't plan to become an actor at all?" Brad jumped straight to the conclusion.

But Lance did not answer positively, but asked, "So, did you formally invite me to play the role of "Borrowing a Killer" instead of directing it?"

"Yes, 'killing someone with a knife'." Brad then realized, "How about it, are you interested? Take over the director? The budget for the movie is estimated to be around 60 million, and there is room for negotiation; you can serve as a producer, co-produced by Paramount and Chaos Pictures, but the cast needs to be selected by us."

Lance was a little surprised that Paramount was willing to delegate power. Before he even nodded, he had already given up a lot of interests. However, after hearing the last sentence, Lance understood, "So, are you planning to make a commercial film? Similar to the 'sniper phone booth'?"

"...Yes! Yes!" Brad was stunned for a moment, thought about the "sniper phone booth" carefully, and then nodded repeatedly, "We just hope to create the tension of the plot, and then give the movie more characteristics through the actor's performance charm, and then achieve great success in the box office."

Not surprising results.

As people say, Sundance is the springboard for commercial films. After Sundance became famous all over the world, he took over the director's director and injected the director's personal charm into commercial films. While he was a new director, large production companies can firmly control the initiative in their hands and then rely on the charm of celebrity actors to drive the box office. Simply put, the director is a working person, or even half a puppet.

After years of development, this model has been brought to the extreme in superhero movies adapted from Marvel Comics, with a strong cast, a strong script model, and a flowing new director.

Now, it was Lance's turn, and the three little gold men in the "City of God" knocked on the door for him.
