219 Take the initiative

Lance and Brad stood opposite each other, holding each other with friendly and polite hands, with charming and bright smiles on their faces, but the air between the two was surging, and the hot eyes collided head-on, filled with a tense tension, as if just a single piece of sunshine could directly ignite the sparks on the scene. The magnificent sense of confrontation and ritual were pushed to the extreme at this moment, with a depressing and restrained epic feeling, and magnificent.

Even without any words or collision, the tension of the confrontation made people's blood swell, and adrenaline was like millions of butterflies flying together, dazzling. After Brian Barlow reached the extreme, he calmed down completely. When everyone was in a brief moment of surprise and dullness, he quickly pressed the shutter, and then quickly recorded this moment full of countless stories.

Lance's attendance was completely beyond everyone's expectations. His appearance seemed to solidify the air in the audience, causing everyone to briefly fall into a dull state. The only thought in everyone's mind was: why did he come? Even the producers and staff of Warner Brothers were caught off guard. Only Barry Meyer stood in the room of the Chinese Theater, looking at Lance's proud and upright figure meaningfully, thinking about something.

"I hope my arrival did not disrupt the rhythm of the party." Lance said half-jokingly in a gentlemanly tone, "Everyone at the scene suddenly calmed down to welcome my arrival. This situation really made me feel a little flattered."

Brad knew that he had to stand up and deal with Lance, but because it happened so suddenly, and in full view of the public, he could not express his true thoughts in his heart, "Get out of the way, you are not welcome here, go back." He stood up and expressed his host's generosity and hospitality, and welcomed Lance. This was already a reaction of Brad's instinctiveness. But at this time, he had to further deal with Lance's hypocritical polite words. Brad's brain fell into a brief blank for a moment, and he replied reflexively, "Hospitality is one of the characteristics of Los Angeles."

This kind of polite speech is actually a standard course in the process of Hollywood actor etiquette teaching. It will not excel, but it will not make mistakes.

But after saying it, Brad realized that he actually admitted that Lance's attendance was popular, so there was nothing. The party was originally welcomed by everyone, but the problem was that in this way, the media would not know that Lance attended without being invited.

This really made Brad a little depressed.

"I never expected it, never expected it." At this time, a happy laugh came from behind, which made Brad's gratitude unparalleled. Finally someone spoke. Looking back, he was the host of today's premiere. The red-haired middle-aged uncle walked over with a bright smile on his face, "Just as everyone was looking forward to the two movies Mars colliding with the Earth, how could we imagine that we actually saw the spokespersons of the two movies appear on the scene. This is definitely the premiere today."

As the current outstanding talk show host who is rising rapidly, Conan only used one sentence to make everyone laugh. What's more profound is that Conan put the confrontation between "the day after tomorrow" and "Troy" on the surface, omitting secret speculation and speculation. And also pushing Lance's position to the "outsider" position. Brad was about to bite the handkerchief and thank Conan for standing up with tears in his eyes.

There are some things that Conan can say, but Brad can't.

Lance seemed not surprised by Conan's appearance. He chuckled and shook his head, "Dennis Quaid's heart is about to break when he heard such a conversation." Lance meant that the spokesperson for "the day after tomorrow" was Dennis, not him. "I attended the premiere today as Brad's friend. I don't talk about business, but only talk about friendship."

Brad looked at Lance's chatter and laughing, as if all the debates about "the day after tomorrow" and "Troy" in the past week did not exist at all. Suddenly, he felt that he was choked and Lance didn't care at all. He was alone and he was holding on to the point of being uneasy, and the dispute over demeanor was already at a disadvantage.

"Haha, this is definitely a good story." Conan glanced at Brad and found that he had not spoken at the first time. He realized that the situation is still too difficult and Brad was not suitable for him to speak, so he continued, "I don't know that you and Brad are friends, which is really surprising. Recently, the media has been talking about your role as Brad's role as a competition. As a layman, the fierce competition made me frightened."

As the host of the premiere, Conan's position is actually relatively neutral. Although he must shout for "Troy", he also needs to interact with reporters to ensure that after the premiere, the reporters have enough talk to promote the film. From these words, it can be seen that Conan always puts Lance as an "opponent" to talk, but he has not left the hottest topic in the past week. That hostile attitude is like a needle hidden in a cotton, which is difficult to deal with.

The smile on Lance's face still did not fade, and he turned to look at George, "This is Hollywood, aren't we friends, but we are both competitors at the same time." George received Lance's sight. At this time, he was in a dilemma. He could not help Brad openly, but he could not say good things for Lance. But even so, George knew that if he didn't respond, he would be exposed, so he still walked over. However, Lance did not mean to make things difficult for George, and then said, "In fact, during the preparations for Troy, I was also trying to achieve my first cooperation with Brad. Unfortunately, the cooperation was not achieved in the end."

Still speaking, Lance revealed another inside story: the director candidate for "Troy" is Lance. Although Lance did not mention whether it was a director or a producer, the reporters obviously began to automatically figure it out. So, why did Lance not get this project in the end? Is it because of Brad.

Recalling the previous tit-for-tat confrontation between Brad and Lance, the reporters were excited, and a 10,000-word intrigue palace drama was automatically written in their heads.

Brad knew that he had to speak at this time, so he also seized the opportunity and said with a smile, "I believe there will always be opportunities in the future. After all, Lance's recent performance is obvious to all." A polite word resolved Lance's attack. However, Brad had already taken the passive position at this time, and the reporters' imagination will not stop for a short period of time.

At this time, George also understood the real purpose of Lance's action today: to take the initiative and turn the situation around

During the entire publicity period of "the day after tomorrow", Lance missed the publicity and gave it to the three starring actors to the front stage; but with the recent hype about the "the day after tomorrow" and "Troy", especially the confrontation between Lance and Brad, it has become the front page headlines of major newspapers. In this case, Lance simply followed the flow and accurately grasped the opportunity, and appeared at the premiere of "Troy".

Lance's actions themselves were beyond everyone's expectations, which allowed him to take the relative initiative. It is conceivable that the confrontation between the two movies will become more and more popular today, and the media's attention will continue to rise. "Troy" and "After Day" will inevitably benefit, but the real winner is the latter. "Troy" spent more than five million dollars to create today's global premiere, and Lance just made free publicity for "After Day", not to mention that Lance's performance on the spot has triggered more discussions.

This is really a good move

George looked at Lance's eyes and suddenly became meaningful. This was not the Lance he knew. Such a plan, such a wise and steady approach, no, absolutely not. So, what went wrong?

It seems that everyone has forgotten an extremely important thing, that is, the premiere of "Troy" today is a global simultaneous premiere. London, Berlin, Tokyo, New York and Los Angeles have been linked together, and a grand premiere was held simultaneously. In other words, Lance has now appeared on the global stage. Although Lance is a strange face to almost no impression for most people in the overseas market, things will begin to become different after today.

"Who is this?"

In addition to New York, audiences in London, Berlin and Tokyo all raised the same question. Although Lance's face is no longer completely unfamiliar after the Oscars, no one can deny that in terms of recognition, Lance is indeed far from being outstanding, not to mention that the "day after tomorrow" has not yet launched global publicity. Even a small number of viewers were confused at the premiere of Los Angeles and New York:

Who is this guy? Why did Brad and George personally welcome him? When he appeared, why did all the reporters start to alert? What's going on? Even if he stood beside Brad and George, his full body was not inferior, and he could hardly be able to move his eyes away. Who is he?

"That's Lancelot Strello, the acquired director." Someone in the crowd had already started to spread the subject impatiently. After saying that, he screamed excitedly, "He is really charming, isn't God, I just want to throw myself at his feet, even if Brad and George are right next to him."

George Clooney and Brad Pitt, famous sexy handsome guys in Hollywood, are popular all over the world, but at this moment, Lancelot Strello, who is standing beside them, is not inferior, or even better. The charm that has been preserved like red wine makes people blush and heartbeat.

This summer drama has just been unveiled and will not be continued.
