Lance just gave Brad a hug briefly, then patted Brad enthusiastically on the back, and said with a chuckle, "I know you're joking." Obviously, Lance did not give Brad any chance to relieve or defend, and directly relieved himself. This not only resolved Brad's potential attack, but also covered up the bitterness of self-entertainment, which made people more and more imaginative.

I have to say that every move of Lance today is so steady and accurate, leaving almost no response time for Brad, nor much room for mistakes. Even the veterans like George Clooney have not been able to find more coping strategies in the short-term fight in less than three minutes.

Immediately afterwards, Lance waved his hand with a bright smile, and his eyes turned to Conan again, "Sorry, I obviously have made an old problem again, and always think that I am the focus of the stage. Today's protagonist should be 'Troy'. I should retreat to the theater like other guests, quietly wait for the premiere, and then hand the stage to the real protagonists today." After saying that, Lance did not forget to cheer, "Yo roar, 'Trot', come on!"

The audience was once again amused by Lance's self-deprecating, and the atmosphere was even more lively than before.

The good and bad things were finished by Lance, and only Brad was left... Embarrassing. Brad's first reaction told him that he should keep Lance and then continue to argue that he could steal the lost position back bit by bit; but reason told him that this was an adventurous choice, because keeping Lance means blurring the focus, and he may not necessarily gain the upper hand in the confrontation. Therefore, his best choice is to go with the flow.

However, thinking of Lance's confidence just now, he was chatting and laughing. He almost teased the entire "Troy" crew in a playful way, as if it was a circus. Brad felt that the burning anger in his chest was really uneasy, and he almost burned the last trace of his remaining rationality to ashes. But after taking a deep breath, Brad chose to put the overall situation first. He swallowed his broken teeth into his stomach and fought quickly.

So Brad laughed a few times, then waved his fists twice, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Lancelot-Stralo." He showed his generous and tolerant heart and truly warmly welcomed the appearance of Lance. This is ridiculous. This is Brad's ridiculous skill.

But Lance turned around and retreated with a smile, waving his hands at the audience, immersed in the applause at the scene, bathed in the flowers and sunshine, and finally walked into the Chinese Theater without any stop. The calm posture, the enjoyment look, and the refreshing expression made Brad's mocking skill start to backfire. A mouthful of old blood was almost spurted out.

After biting the tip of his tongue, the sharp stinging pain made Brad calm down. At this moment, Brad's only idea in his mind was to strangle Lance, or to hit Lance fiercely like a sandbag, but he couldn't do so. It was not that he could not deal with Lance, but he was passive everywhere, restrained everywhere, and disgusted everywhere. The indescribable aggrievance almost made him explode - but he couldn't, because the premiere ceremony was still continuing, the five cities were still paying attention, the global synchronous premiere was still being staged, and the grand debut of "Troy" has not been completed. As the pillar of the "Troy" crew, he must stick to it to the end.

Brad adjusted his breath quietly, retracted his attention and looked back at Conan. At this time, George, who was standing aside, gave Brad a look, and then stepped out while applauding. Brad vaguely retracted George's chin, indicating that he understood that George must go to the backstage to deal with Lance as soon as possible, otherwise no one would know what impact this time bomb would have on today's premiere of "Troy".

Today, Lance's actions almost disrupted everyone's plans, and George even suspected that Twentieth Century Fox was in the dark by Lancemond - he guessed this correctly. Now, George's head was full of question marks and he had to figure it out.

"Lance!" George called Lance at the entrance of the China Theater, and then greeted him with an anxious look. His face was smiling and he always maintained friendly within the audience's sight. However, this time George deliberately did not hide the anxiety between his eyebrows, so that Lance could clearly feel it.

After approaching Lance, George asked in a low voice, "Why are you here? You didn't even say anything to me?" The concerned tone showed the friend's position.

Lance shrugged as if he hadn't noticed George's true intentions, "I decided at the last moment."

"But why?" George asked in confusion. Such a move was definitely not a choice that Lance would make, and this was also George's biggest confusion.

Lance did not answer directly, but looked at George up and down seriously, as if George had raised an extremely stupid question, so that Lance began to doubt George's position now. This made George's heart skip a moment, but on the surface he pretended to be calm, always maintaining the care of his friends, and showing his concerns loyally.

After a while, Lance finally spoke, "I'm not here for granted?" This rhetorical question made George stunned, "Ryan and the others are all here, how could I be absent? This is their first large-scale release work after I was swept out by them. How could I easily let them live. If I don't have this qualification, then forget it; now I am not an unknown person, of course I have to attend!"

George's heart trembled slightly. He actually forgot about this. All his attention was focused on Lance's provocation to Brad. He actually forgot that this work was produced by Diorama Pictures. At the funeral, George repeatedly stated that they should compete with Ryan head-on, teach Ryan and others a lesson, constantly provoking the relationship between Lance and Ryan, and expressing his friends' positions faithfully; obviously, this is what Lance did today.

But now, George actually asked "why", no wonder Lance looked at him with that kind of vision just now. If so, Lance's attendance today is not only not surprising, but also taken for granted. Looking back at Lance's words "I decided at the last moment" just now, you will know how much inner struggle Lance has experienced.

Now, Lance not only did not deny his "indiscipline", but also admitted it openly. Instead, George was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer. In a second thought, countless thoughts flashed through George's mind, and then he heard Lance watch again, "Aren't you too? You also attended the premiere today!"

With just one sentence, the whole situation reversed. George originally planned to come and question the crime, but now he had to make up for it.

After reaching the extreme of tension, George's brain calmed down completely, with a hint of anxiety, a hint of helplessness, and a hint of sincerity, "I am Brad's friend, have you forgotten?" George knew that now he could not doubt Lance, but his intention was questioned by Lance. He must deal with it carefully, otherwise today's premiere would become a real disaster.

Observing George's subtle but surging face seriously, Lance felt that the game of cat and mouse was very interesting. The condescending perspective seemed to be at the height of God, dominating the life and death of others. Perhaps, Ryan and George planned to betray Lance, the same mentality was the same.

There was a vivid emotion between George's seemingly calm eyebrows, which conveyed the guilt and entanglement between calmness. I have to say that he is an excellent actor and an excellent politician. He is almost perfect. If Lance had not died once, he would not see any flaws at all. "I thought you wouldn't want to appear in such an occasion. In fact, Brad also asked me, and he really hoped to invite you to attend, but..." George explained seriously, then stopped abruptly and shrugged, "Sorry, I was wrong. So, what are you going to do now?"

George was smart enough to stop him, and did not fan the flames and let Lance settle the score with Ryan, nor did he stand on Brad's position to dissuade Lance, and he left his position neutrally and clearly expressed his attitude again: he was Lance's friend and Brad's friend, and he supported both of them.

Seeing George's wonderful performance, he almost perfectly interpreted the role of "Friend Friend" and was able to perfection. Lance believes that this year's Oscar Best Supporting Actor Little Golden Man should be awarded to him. However, Lance has no intention of exposing George. He can even smell the cold sweat behind George. This cat and mouse game, he has not yet ended his plan, "Tell them?"

Lance said with a chuckle, which made George stunned. Then Lance burst into laughter, "Don't worry, I know this is the premiere, I won't mess around. It's really just a conversation." Lance patted George on the shoulder, "Brad is your friend, and my friend, and not to mention that Jennifer is also my friend." Lance has always been very friendly to Jennifer Aniston.

While speaking, Lance continued to take steps and walked forward. It was only ten steps away, and then he saw Jason coming up quickly. The positions of Ryan and Tucker could be vaguely seen from a distance, but they were a little far away and there seemed to be no intention of getting closer. It seemed that they did not want to have a direct conflict with Lance at the premiere.

Before Lance could continue to think deeply, Jason's footsteps had already stood in front of Lance, and the voice was unwavering, "We need to talk."

Lance raised his eyebrows, looked at Ryan and Tucker behind Jason, and said with a chuckle, "Don't you still have two old friends to say hello?"

Jason also ignored the ridicule and sharpness in Lance's words and said again without refusal, "We need to talk."

Lance tilted his head slightly, pursed his lips, and chuckled, "Ha, you are the master, you are worse than respect."
