It was already one o'clock in the morning when Percy arrived at the Montage Hotel. He stood at the door with three large plastic bags in his hands, sweating profusely. Edgar opened the door of the room, took the two bags, looked at the things inside, and widened his eyes in surprise, "At this time, have you actually bought these things?"

The bag is full of art props, and the professional products are amazing. These things must be purchased at professional supplies stores. Now at this time, all the stores have been closed. Percy just went to buy things according to Lance's request. He ran around for nearly an hour before he arrived late.

But Percy didn't say much, just nodded lightly, "Where is Lance?"

Edgar still looked down at the utensils in the bag, but said casually, "Inside." When he raised his head, he found that Percy was no longer visible.

Percy walked into the hotel room and saw Lance sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by messy paper, but the papers were varied, including newspapers, wine lists, and tissues... The paper was covered with messy graffiti, making all the white stained with scribbled black, and looked more like a garbage dump, which reminded Frankenstein's laboratory at once.

However, Lance was dressed neatly, with the buttons of his shirt pressing meticulously, and even the buttons on the cuffs and the socks under the suit pants were not missed. The extreme neatness and extreme chaos formed a powerful visual impact, pushing the chaos of forbiddenness to the extreme. The boundless night behind him slowly extended, but it completely became a background, making Lance look like an iron-blooded king who ascended the throne with blood and bones.

In the quiet space, you can even hear the sound of the heart hitting the chest. The trivial sound of footsteps absorbed all the noises by the carpet, leaving only a fine friction sound, as if the air was gently rubbing out sparks.

Hearing the footsteps, Lance raised his head. He glanced at Percy, then lowered his head, "Have you brought all the comics?"

Percy's heart pounded, then he picked up the remaining bag in his hand as if nothing had happened, sat down around the pile of waste paper, then took out the comics one by one and threw them to Lance, "So, what do I need to do?"

Lance picked up a comic and thought about it carefully. Then he opened the comic and showed Percy the inner page of the picture. Edgar also walked over and sat down next to Percy. Lance adjusted his position so that he could face two people at the same time. Then he explained, "I need to draw a three-minute sample plot, the more detailed the better. The style of painting is completely based on the comic, but it is more realistic. The faces of the characters inside must be materialized, and then the shadows on the faces become the light and dark effect of the light."

"But what's the difference between this and the comic itself?" Percy saw the problem at once.

"City of Sin" is originally a comic, and the picture of the comic is the most direct storyboard, and the movie also needs to be comic-making the language of the camera, which is also the biggest feature of the movie adaptation. However, if Frank understands this intention, it is not possible to just use comics. Lance needs to lens these square comics.

Lance searched around. Then he picked up a newspaper and drew a portrait of a beautiful woman on the advertisement page of the newspaper. However, the overall look was gray and it was hard to see clearly. "Hand me the colored pencil." Edgar searched in the bag for a while, took the thing apart and handed it to Lance. Lance put the newspaper on his knees and quickly began to draw.

Lance has not learned painting formally, and he is not good at this - God is fair, but when he gives a person some talent, he will inevitably strip away some talent. However, during his studies, in order to express the stage effect and clothing style more vividly, he has learned some basic sketches. His brushstrokes can only be said to be average, without much talent, but at least he can express his meaning clearly and accurately. During the shooting of "City of God" and "the day after tomorrow", Lance has drawn many storyboard shots by himself, but Hayden complained that the brushstrokes were too immature.

Lance finished painting quickly, and then showed the newspaper to Percy and Edgar again.

Percy's pupils suddenly shrank, and an uncontrollable sense of stunning came to his face. The newspaper was originally black and white. Lance quickly used sketches to draw a city full of tall buildings. At this time, the city was shrouded in heavy rain. The night was hazy and gray. There was only a faint white halo on the building, but it could not support the heavyness of the night. It seemed that the wet and chaotic night could be noticed on the paper.

In front of the picture, there is a demonic and evil woman's face. Her narrow and angular eyebrows draw a sword mark along the pair of demonic eyes. The deep eyes are surrounded by heavy smoke makeup. The straight and tall nose bridge divides the face into a perfect proportion. A slender lady's cigarette is sandwiched with a slender fingertip. The gray ash of the cigarette butts is shaking, and the plump lips are slightly opened, and a ethereal and rich smoke is emitted. She raises her chin slightly, and looks straight ahead with a arrogant and teasing look.

If that's all, then this painting cannot be said to be amazing. The key is to control the color. The crystal clear pupils bloom with a crystal-like jade light, and the flames and red lips release a faintly provocative, teasing and seduction after the smoke is swirling.

The black and white pictures only have these two colors, which instantly attracted all eyes, arrogance, evil, charm, provocation, and ostentatious... The intricate charm almost appeared on the paper, showing pure sensory stimulation without any taboo in the sight.

To be honest, Lance's paintings are indeed not talented, and can only barely be considered to be average. They cannot be considered bad, but they are not good either. However, this sketch that can pick out countless shortcomings easily attracts all the attention, and then makes people ignore all the loopholes, hold their breath, and be amazed.

"Wow!" Edgar couldn't help but sigh, "Lance, is this the painting you were busy with just now? Who is the woman in the painting?"

Unlike comics, Lance chose realistic sketches, which can almost be said to be a copy of characters, and every detail is vivid, which also makes the painting in front of him separate from the comics and become vivid, almost like a movie picture. This is the effect that Lance hopes to achieve, presenting the realistic shots of the movie comics - allowing Frank to directly feel that this is the picture after the movie is shot.

"Eva-green." Lance said a strange name. Eva, who is only twenty-four years old this year, is a French actor. In her previous life, she did not star in "Sin City", but later starred in "Sin City 2".

In 2003, Eva starred in her screen debut "Dream of Paris". In this work, her bold and unrestrained performance stunned the entire European continent and won her ticket to Hollywood. Not long ago, she became the heroine of the "Dynasty of Heaven" and then became the heroine of "007: Fighting the Royal Casino".

Eva is a typical woman with aura that suppresses everything. She is enthusiastic and open, charming, and evil and pure eyes perfectly interpret the powerful temperament of a femme fatale, which is unforgettable.

When Lance conceived the "City of Sin", the first thing that came to mind was not Jessica Alba, who became famous for this work in his previous life, but this aura queen who never became famous. The ultimate charm in the black and white style is simply a work tailor-made for Eva. Unfortunately, Eva played in "City of Sin 2" in the previous life, but the poor quality of the work made her lose the opportunity to reach the top.

When drawing a sketch of the storyboard just now, Lance began to write according to the image of Eva in his mind, and the effect presented was indeed amazing. However, Lance's painting skills are indeed not enough, and it lacks a little charm and destroys the overall beauty.

"This is what I hope to draw a storyboard, the bright color contrast in the black and white picture, the movie shots are stylized, but they are separated from the illusion of the comic world, injecting real elements, creating a hazy feeling between illusion and reality." Lance began to explain simply, "Every storyboard must be delicate and accurate, including the segmentation ratio of the shot, the magnificent momentum of the background building, and details such as smoke, gas, and light. At that time, we will take a complete shot according to these storyboards."

Edgar felt that the amount of information was too great. He was just a stylist. The reason why he was called by Lance was because his painting skills were excellent. But now it seemed that he knew something extraordinary, "Wait, wait." Edgar waved his hands repeatedly, "Lance, don't you plan to explain, what happened?"

Percy, who was sitting next to him, had no such concerns. He looked at Lance, "Is there anything I can help?" Lance glanced at Edgar, without saying a word, turned to look at Percy, with doubt flashing in his eyes. Percy blinked gently and explained, "I learned sketches for twelve years when I was a child." This immediately made Lance's eyes lit up, and a bright smile appeared, and the corners of Percy's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Lance turned his head and said to Edgar meaningfully, "It's better not to know some things."

Edgar was furrowed by Lance's eyes, and then he noticed that Percy's cold gaze also fell on his shoulders. He only felt a chill behind him. He turned his head and looked, and then realized that there were only three people in the hotel room at this time, and he was obviously the one who was alone. So Edgar laughed dryly, "Uh? What storyboards do I need to draw? Are there any reference comics?"
