Miki nodded, and he clenched his fists, but this time it was not because of anger, but because of excitement. + After floating and falling in Hollywood for more than 20 years, he had seen all the vicissitudes of the world. He thought his life had come to an end, but today he saw a glimmer of hope and a slim hope. Then he wanted to catch it hard like a moth to the flame, which reminded him of the time when he was filming "Douyu".

Thinking of this, Mickey was a little surprised because the director of "Douyu" was Francis Ford Coppola, and he now put Lance at such a height.

Lance did not notice the change in Mickey's heart, because he had not finished speaking, "It's not that simple." Mickey had nodded and agreed, but things seemed to be a foregone conclusion, but now Lance changed his mouth again, which immediately made David's expression stiffen, and Mickey frowned, and the burning eyes bulged out fiercely, obviously he had lost patience with Lance's play.

Cole, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lance, and then saw Lance's calm expression. He couldn't help but feel a little headache and a little funny - he had experienced Lance's trouble before, and now he was watching Lance torment others, and inexplicably felt gloating.

"You promised to star in the role, which does not mean that you can complete the task well." Faced with Miki's slight anger, Lance always maintained a sense of calmness, and the peace and comfort in the tension became more and more eye-catching. "I said that this is a very difficult challenge, and my requirements are very high..." Speaking of this, Lance raised his eyebrows gently, and his clear and transparent eyes flashed with a hint of pride. David's heart tightened, and he inexplicably remembered the rumors in the circle some time ago-

During the filming of "Borrowing a Knife to Kill People", rumors in the circle said that Lance and Tom Cruise were directly confronting head-on. This was simply a battle between an egg and a stone - Lance was the egg - but the ending was shocking. Tom not only swallowed his anger, but also lowered his proud head and left it to Lance to mercy.

After this rumor came out, everyone sneered. Now, there is probably no one in Hollywood who can point at Tom's nose and curse. Maybe there are old qualities such as Steven Spielberg and James Cameron who have this ability, but they have reached this level. None of them are not an old fox. Naturally, they won't do such stupid things.

David also listened to it as a joke, but today he had an ominous premonition.

"I won't lower the standards just because you are my first choice. On the contrary, you must show a better level, prove my vision, and prove your strength. Don't let me slap myself." Lance said this and was joking and playful, but Mickey couldn't laugh at all. He just felt that he was being looked down upon again, and his eyebrows stood up and wanted to get angry. However, Lance lowered his head and avoided his sight, causing Mickey's anger to crash into nothing. Then he saw Lance take out a document from his briefcase and put it in front of Mickey. "You don't need to make any promises to me here. No words can compare to actual actions."

Mickey was led by Lance without realizing it, and lowered her head. It was the script of "City of Sin", and then Lance's voice continued to sound. "There are two documents in it, one is the script and the other is the character's introduction. However, this introduction is not complete. I don't mind that you inject more into this introduction based on your own experience and your own ideas. I am very happy to wait for you to surprise me when you meet next time. But the premise is, don't deviate from my settings."

Mickey didn't care about Lance's words at all. He paused slightly when he opened the script. He did not expect that Lance valued this character so much. Not only did he write a separate introduction, but he also asked him to play the role freely. This shows the weight of the character and also shows how much Lance attaches to him. This makes Mickey's hand muscles tighten, and the surging inside cannot be suppressed.

"Mickey." Lance said again, but found that Mickey had no intention of looking up. Lance had to snap his fingers, "Mickey!" This time Mickey raised his head, Lance leaned against the table, restrained his smile, the serious look on his face instantly made the air tense, and then he slowed down his voice, "Remember, don't leak any news about the script, 'anything' I said, is everything. Never."

The light and magnetic sound was flying in the air, but it had a faint cold that made people believe without hesitation that if they violated this, their fate would not be too beautiful.

After the words came to the ground, Lance leaned back and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose again, "Before the film officially starts, we will hold a script practice. I hope you can show 100% at that time."

This polite saying is very polite, but the words reveal a deeper meaning: if the script practice is not satisfactory, then he doesn't mind changing people.

However, David didn't care at all. Lance is still a new director now, not to mention that this work is an independent work produced by Chaos Pictures, and it cannot withstand the tossing. Such threatening words are just to establish the authority of the director. So David showed a polite smile, "Of course, of course." After dealing with a few words, "Then will the follow-up work?"

This is asking about the signing matter. Lance took out a business card from his wallet, "You can just find a time to go to the company when you have time. Before going, call this phone to make an appointment."

David couldn't help but be stunned. Where is this? Usually, the film company sorted out the contract clearly and then faxed it to the agency; even if you have to sign a face-to-face contract, it was all done in the agency. But if you think about it carefully, this is the first time Chaos Pictures has made an independent film, and the cast of "City of God" is extremely special, so it is understandable that this time it is a bit busy.

So David calmed down his thoughts and nodded politely, "Of course there is no problem."

In fact, Lance is not unreasonable, but since Chaos Pictures is not fully on track, the legal matters can only be left to Theo. However, Theo still has a job now, and he needs to be busy acquiring the trailer soundtrack company recently, so it is impossible for him to stay at Chaos Pictures every day, so he can only use such an adjustment plan.

After sending David and Mickey away, Cole said carefully, "Are you sure you want to use Mickey?" This is the second time Cole has questioned today.

Indeed, looking back at Mickey's history and looking at his depravity in recent years, Hollywood generally believes that Mickey's talent has been completely annihilated. In Hollywood, the most unabashed thing is genius. If a genius falls, ten more geniuses will rise.

However, Lance clearly knew that Mickey was indeed the best candidate for the role of Muffer, not only because of Robert's choice in his previous life, but also because Mickey later became the most powerful contender for the actor in 2008 with the "Wrestling King". Unfortunately, he lost to the more powerful Sean Pan. In terms of strength, Mickey's skills are still there. Although he is somewhat limited, he can only play a specific role, but as long as he meets the right role, he can shine with a bright light.

Muffer is such a character.

Lance did not explain his thoughts in detail, but said lightly, "There are always people who want to try the first thing, right?" Lance turned to look at Cole, "Not every time can afford Tom Cruise's."

A joke made Cole unable to hold back and burst into laughter, "Lance, you are more appealing than you imagined. Maybe you should adjust your position." Lance raised his brow slightly, as if he didn't understand what Cole said. Cole restrained his smile and returned to his serious attitude, "I mean, you are still a new director, but now many people want to star in your work."

Lance pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, as if thinking about the authenticity of this sentence. In the end, he didn't say anything, but just pointed his jaw meaningfully and withdrew his gaze - he didn't seem to believe it very much. After all, agents always think that their artists are the best in the world, and agents must have confidence in the artists. If even they don't believe in their artists, how can they sell the artists? So Lance did not comment. This made Cole shake his head helplessly, but he did not persuade him further.

In fact, Cole didn't give praise because of his agent's identity, it is indeed true.

"City of God" made Lance stand out, "the day after tomorrow" made Lance win attention, and "Borrowing a Knife" gave Lance a reputation. Although "Borrowing a Knife" has not been released at present and the quality is unknown, after the work was completed, Tom gave many good reviews to the crew's concentration and seriousness, which is a very rare thing - with Tom's current status, he does not need to please any director in exchange for recognition. If it is just a matter of face, he can wait until the film promotion period to take care of the full-length in front of the media, but expresses praise in private, which shows that this is from the heart.

With Tom's affirmation, news of the crew's enthusiasm for research on acting was spreading wildly, and these seemingly insignificant news made Lance's fame rise steadily.

Just like after filming the "Supernatural Sixth Sense", M-Knight Shamaran established his position in one fell swoop. Now Lance has a certain appeal. Perhaps Lance didn't notice it just now, but Cole would not miss this detail. David and Mickey obviously did not question Lance's words, which is one of the evidence; more importantly, Bruce Willis, Ilia Wood, Benicio del Toro, none of them accepted the audition request without any hesitation, instead of asking for reading the script first, nor did they need Lance to visit the cottage three times. This shows that the weight of the signature "Lancelot Strello" is increasing bit by bit.

If the release of "Killing with a Knife" can continue to be successful, then the success of three consecutive works will open a new world for Lance. Cole has absolute confidence in this!
