At this time, there were less than two hours left before the premiere of "Borrowing a Knife to Kill", but Lance had not appeared yet. Tom suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart and blurted out, "Where is Lance?" Then he saw Cole's slightly awkward and stiff expression. Tom couldn't help but be stunned, and his heart skipped a beat, "Is something wrong?"

Such a huge turnaround made Cole laugh and cry, "No, no, Lance's phone still has not turned on. I think it may be that the plane was delayed." Cole explained later, and he was also a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but shake his head gently, obviously not understanding Lance's behavior.

Today is the day when "Borrowing a Killer" and "Twelve Arhats" were premiered simultaneously. The sword and sword of the two films has reached a white-hot level. Not to mention the crew members, even major media and movie audiences are already in full swing. Los Angeles in December once again made people feel the heat of midsummer, showing the essence of this land belonging to the movie.

However, Lance went to Wisconsin, which was icy and snowy in Wisconsin last night.

What is even more incomprehensible is that Lance did not take the first flight back to Los Angeles today, but rushed to the airport slowly after lunch. Cole was already angry, but Lance was still as stable as Mount Tai, which really made people feel uncomfortable.

As the premiere is getting closer and closer, Cole can only arrive at the scene first, and then pray that the traffic jam during the rush hour will not stop Lance in the vast array of cars. If Lance misses the premiere, Cole can hardly imagine what will happen. The media's random thoughts are not a big problem, the focus is on the anger of Brad Gray and Shirley Lansing.

When Tom heard the answer, he couldn't help but be stunned. His first reaction was not to get angry. Although he was indeed very angry at this time, he felt an inexplicable absurdity. So much so that he couldn't help but sneer, shook his head, obviously unable to understand Lance's maverickness, and then let out a long sigh, "It's fine, he should be able to arrive." Tom seemed to be convincing himself. He nodded again, "He knew clearly what he was doing, and he knew better than anyone else, so he must have a plan and could definitely arrive."

"Tom, focus." Wade Russell snapped his fingers and gathered Tom's dispersed focus again, "Remember. You are the focus today, the absolute focus. Don't worry about Lance's problem. He will handle it well. You are the superstar today."

Tom is the key core to want to confront the crew of the "Twelve Arhats".

Tom blinked and laughed in silence. Although they had finished filming "Borrowing a Knife to Kill", it seemed that he still could not get rid of the habits of the crew and subconsciously handed over all initiative and control to Lance. "I am just thinking. Today, all the focus is on our confrontation with the Twelve Arhats, and the other party's starlight is destined. If Lance is absent, we will appear too weak here." Tom seemed to be covering up his embarrassment, and also seemed to be looking for a reasonable explanation.

"No need." A calm and composed voice came from the door. In an instant, everyone in the room turned their heads and looked over. Lance was wearing a dark blue polka dot shirt, which was like a vast starry sky. It was low-key and flaunting. Two buttons on the neckline were casually unbuttoned, casual and lazy. She wore a burgundy knitted cardigan outside, paired with a blue-black unscrupulous suit pants and dark gray suede casual leather shoes, looking like a British gentleman who had just returned from vacation. It was casual but elegant, simple but restrained, and came in the sunshine everywhere.

Even Tom himself didn't notice it, and he breathed a sigh of relief deep in his heart.

Cole quickly met up without hiding his lingering fear. He said with great anxiety but gladness, "God, you finally arrived."

Faced with everyone's anxiety, Lance seemed at ease, with a slight smile on his face, "Don't worry too much. The popularity of today's premiere must belong to the Twelve Arhats. We cannot compete with them, and there is no need to compete with them." The powerful star cast of the "Twelve Arhats" and the popularity that every superstar can involve, it is almost impossible to defeat the opponent in the size and lineup of the premiere.

Lance walked into the room calmly, and Kate Beckinsale behind him followed him, everyone was surprised and obviously surprised: Why did Kate appear with Lance? Did the two go to Wisconsin together? Before they could react, they saw Kate look back and smile, and walked towards the man behind him. Then the two of them closer, standing intimately but generously.

The combination of a light purple shirt and a smoke-gray casual suit outlines the elegant and unrestrained temperament. The golden medium and short hair is combed back softly and casually, revealing the handsome face that smiles all the time. The temperament that is like a spring breeze makes people feel good at first sight.

It was Ian Strello.

Percy followed Ian from a distance and walked into the room, then saw everyone standing up, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Fassbender, Javier Baden, etc., filling the entire space. Percy paused a little, then quietly walked to the side and hid his own tracks. In such occasions, he was always used to being an invisible person.

After Lance, Mark, Michael and others greeted each other, their eyes finally fell on Tom and showed an apology smile. "You are not worried about today's premiere, are you?" The sentence suddenly made Tom feel uncomfortable.

After entering December, the NFL League also entered a critical moment of playoff competition. Lance personally went to the Blue Fort Stadium in Green Bay to watch the Green Bay Packers' match against the St. Louis Rams, and the likes of Theo and Ian. As promised before, Lance watched every game of Gowen this year as much as possible.

After the game, the Packers won, but Gao Wen was injured a little. He left the field for treatment five minutes after the fourth quarter, and did not return to the court. So Lance did not leave immediately, but stayed in Green Bay. After Gao Wen's preliminary inspection report came out and confirmed that there was no serious injury, they took the plane back at 15:00 p.m.

In his previous life, he made the wrong choice, and this time he would not repeat the same mistake. Some people are never replaced. Even revenge, career, money, or dreams cannot be replaced. Lance will take back what belongs to him with his own hands, but the premise is that he will firmly protect the warmth around him.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Theo went back to work. As for Ian, he decided to attend the premiere together as Kate's male companion.

Faced with Lance's teasing, Tom rolled his eyes speechlessly, "It's not you, I've hyped up the topic so enthusiastically during this period. If we perform poorly today, we will be weaker in momentum."

Lance shook his head with a smile, "No. You are wrong in thinking. If you rely solely on our own strength, the movie wants to win so much attention. This is completely impossible; and it is also unrealistic for our movie to fight against the All-Star lineup of the Twelve Arhats. What we need is just to use some of their power." From the beginning of planning the online publicity, Lance's idea was very clear, because the opponents are different, and the strategies naturally have to be different. "So, we cannot belittle the opponents, nor do we need to raise the opponents, we just need to create a topic that is so powerful that everyone cannot ignore. Even if the Twelve Arhats have the upper hand, then so how can we be their opponents? So, as long as they appear, we will inevitably appear. We have won attention without any effort, and the publicity effect is multiplied."

Tom is a smart person, and he immediately understood, "So, the core content of today's premiere is not to fight against them, but to "

"It's about promoting the movie." Lance gave the answer instead of Tom, and Tom nodded repeatedly. "When walking on the red carpet, when talking about the Twelve Arhats, you only need to say some polite scenes when talking about the Twelve Arhats. It doesn't need to be too friendly or too important. It's just mentioned that you don't need to pay attention to the dispute over today's premiere. The topic focuses on our own works. Once again, it's OK to emphasize your hardships. Don't be afraid of the audience being bored."

That's why Lance was not worried at all. Even if he missed the premiere, the impact on "killing people with a knife" was minimal. Lance even considered deliberately missing the premiere, and then asked the media to say that "killing people with a knife" escaped in the face of the battle. He was afraid of this showdown and it would be better to make things bigger. However, after careful thinking, such news will certainly make the topic further sensation, but at the same time it will blur the focus, which will destroy the audience's impression of "killing people with a knife" and affect the subsequent reputation publicity. So Lance gave up.

Now, what they have to do is to remain humble, then focus on the work, and leave it apart from "hype" as much as possible. It will do the opposite of the high profile of the "Twelve Arhats".

After seeing off Tom who had finally calmed down, Lance had time to drink water and take a breath, sat down beside Ian, looked up at the lively house, and finally fell on Kate who was talking and laughing with Michael and Mark, "So, this time I'm serious."

Ian had dated several actresses before, but had never been in public with them. Kate was the first.

Hearing Lance's question, Ian chuckled, "Do you mean the seriousness of getting married or the seriousness of stable relationships?" Lance's answer was a roll of eyes. For Ian, there was no difference between these two. Ian shrugged, "Time will tell us the answer. Attending the premiere this time is just an opportunity. I think, gradually, Gao Wen and I need to come out and stand by your side."

This sentence seemed meaningful. Lance raised his eyebrows, and a surprise glance flashed in his eyes. "The acquisition of the trailer soundtrack company is already in sight." This is the best explanation. Because Chaos Pictures needs to expand, it requires more managers to go to the front. Undoubtedly, Ian and Gao Wen are more suitable choices than Theo.

Ian looked at his brother's excited eyes, and the curve of the corners of his mouth was also outlined.
