Lance knew he was a little abnormal. He felt his anxiety clearly than anyone else, but he had no way to control it.=

In fact, Lance was a little disappointed with himself because he was not a rookie who had never experienced anything. He had been a human being for three lifetimes. He once thought he was mature enough to handle all accidents, but now it seems that he is still at a loss. When Warner Bros. and Disney successively put forward cooperation projects, he became unbalanced, like a man who had never tasted something new, restless. The so-called self-control seemed just a joke.

But Ian's words gradually calmed down Lance. He was not a saint or a superman, just an ordinary person, a real ordinary person. Even after experiencing so much, he would not become omniscient and omnipotent.

"So, don't I look ridiculous?" Lance slowly chewed the sugar in his mouth, and the sweet and sour taste jumped gently on the tip of his tongue, and then slowly dissipated.

Ian couldn't help but smile, "I've seen you've been funny and childish since you were young." Lance rolled his eyes speechlessly, and Ian could only raise his hands to surrender, "I mean, you are the director and producer of the crew, this is your crew, you have the right to get angry, and they are not qualified to object."

Lance was amused by Ian's words, "You know it's not like this." For laymen, things seem to be like this; but only real experts know how complicated the power staggering in a crew is. Ian shrugged and expressed that he didn't care at all, and Lance did not continue to say it, "Indeed, you're right. Warner and Disney have proposed projects that I can't refuse. Success and risks coexist. I think... I'm greedy. I don't want to give up on both projects, but there are huge uncertainties between both projects. If you succeed, maybe Chaos Pictures can be among the top film production companies in the industry overnight; but if you fail... uh, if you fail, there will be no future. So, the more I think about it, the more complicated I think, both of them want to catch it, but both of them are a little hesitant, thinking that maybe choosing a more safer..." At this point, Lance stopped and shook his head with a wry smile, "You know. I'm greedy."

Ian spread his hands and looked "I know" and made Lance helpless, but Ian didn't continue to joke and said, "This is a good thing." Lance was stunned and looked at it in confusion. Ian nodded affirmatively, "I mean, this is a good thing. You know, if we want to make the company bigger, there will be more and more problems in the future, and even the amount of relationships may be larger, and the network of people will be larger. I know nothing about movies. Theo only understands the law. Gao Wen basically agrees with everything you say, so in the end, you have to make the decision. Now you have encountered such a situation. After experiencing more, you will mature later."

"Will I continue to do this from now on? Or did I make a wrong decision?" Lance's lips gently outlined a curve, and the tight shoulder lines slowly relaxed.

Ian did not answer immediately, sighed with a serious expression, and then shook his head gently, as if he had encountered an extremely difficult problem. Lance stood beside him and rolled his eyes. Ian then smiled, "Then let it go, we can start over."

Lance chuckled with a hint, raised his eyebrows and said with lingering fear, "It sounds so bad. It seems that in order to avoid such a situation, I must stay awake."

"So, what kind of project is it?" Ian turned back to the focus of the topic.

"Simply put," Lance also tried to make a long story short and carefully sorted out his thoughts. "Warner Brothers is willing to spend 300 million to let me restart the Superman project; Disney..." Lance recalled, "I gave me 500 million and asked me to shoot two 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Well, that's about it."

Ian almost choked by his saliva. Although he was mentally prepared and knew that the project that could make Lance's mental imbalance must have a great background, after hearing it, the violent impact still made his heart beat. For Chaos Pictures, 50 million US dollars must be used carefully, but Warner Bros. and Disney had to say 300 million or 500 million, and it was just to create a movie project. The huge gap in level created an incredible shock.

However, Ian quickly calmed down, "Isn't the production team of the first part of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" very complete? I remember that the producer of this movie is the top Hollywood, Jerry Brookheimer, right?" After the baptism and precipitation of time, Ian's understanding of Hollywood has become more and more comprehensive.

Lance nodded, "That's what I'm talking about."

Even if Barry Mayer handed over the task of restarting the Superman project to Lance, Lance did not expect that Robert Iger would actually hand over the two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to him, which was even more surprising than Barry's idea.

Because the Superman project was restarted, after twenty years, Barry was cautious and hoped to adopt the popular Lance, which was easy to understand. However, the great success of the first part of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" is inseparable from the joint cooperation of the entire team. Although director Gore-ver squinteski is not a big name, the vitality he injected into the first movie of the series is indeed a big deal. Suddenly replacing Gore, this decision seems too risky.

Unlike the problems faced by the Superman project. The two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Soul Coffin" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World", in addition to the problem of quality degradation faced by the movie itself - the scenes are getting bigger and bigger, but the story is getting hollow, the harmony of the production team is also the biggest problem facing Reims.

"I've heard before that Michael Esner's position within Disney is shaky. Do you think this will matter?" Ian's perspective on the problem is completely different from that of Lance.

"But I heard that he was the only one at Disneyland." Lance raised his doubts.

Ian raised his eyebrows, "This is the problem. He is too domineering and refuses to delegate power. No matter how detailed the matter is, it must be controlled. Rumors in the circle, Disney calls him a 'tyrant'."

A few words of explanation immediately solved Lance's many confusions.

If this is true, it is like Brad Gray and Shirley Lansing's situation inside Paramount, and Robert Iger is also trying to grab the power, then all this is reasonable explanation-

To replace the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is obvious that the director must be important and convincing enough, but at the same time, he cannot be too big-name to avoid conflicts between the big-name director and the big-name producer Jerry, and to avoid completely breaking away from Robert's control. Then, Lance, who appeared as a comet in the past year, has become the best choice, not to mention that Lance was infinitely close to "Pirates of the Caribbean" during the Diorama Films.

"The question is, is this benefit enough to make you willingly his weapon?" Ian's voice pulled Lance back on track, "Come on, tell me your thoughts. Although I have limited knowledge of movies, I may help you sort out your ideas."

Lance took a deep breath, "The advantage of Warner Brothers is that this is a restart project, and I can build it according to my own ideas; the disadvantage is..." After thinking carefully, "This is a restart project." Ian laughed in silence, and Lance briefly explained his idea of ​​the Superman project.

Ian frowned slightly. Although he was just listening to Lance's description, he could feel that the hugeness of the entire DC universe is definitely more than a 300 million project. "If you rewrite a script, it has nothing to do with the DC universe. It's just a superhero movie, what about operability?"

Simply put, don’t be so greedy and don’t try to become fat in one bite.

"I can try..." Lance's words seemed a little hesitant, "It's not an easy task to say this. If I take on this project, I definitely hope that the work can be successful and change the image of superman is a huge challenge. This means that one is that the risk is too great, and the other is that the reward is too small."

Lance did not explain further, but Ian quickly reacted.

Lance can do his best to shoot a successful work, which requires a lot of energy. The task of restarting the Superman series is definitely not that simple, but Lance must face two results. The first is failure. It is difficult to recycle 300 million yuan or even make a profit. This account is clearer than Lance; the second is success, which is naturally the best. But if according to what Ian said, there is no connection with the DC Universe, it also means that Lance spent a lot of effort to make a wedding dress for Warner Bros. If Warner Bros. abandons Chaos Pictures and hand over the DC Universe project to other companies for cooperation, then its contribution to Chaos Pictures' long-term development will be very limited.

To put it bluntly, Chaos Pictures was borne by the responsibility of the failure, and Warner Bros. Only then did Ian nod and understand that Lance's intention to build the DC universe was actually to maximize benefits.

But to take a step back, building the entire DC universe according to Lance's idea is undoubtedly a huge impact and challenge for Warner Bros. This is not just a 300 million project, the game between the two companies will become very complicated. It is obvious that Diorama Film does not have many advantages.

"What about Disney?" Ian just thought about it briefly, and felt his brain hurt. He temporarily ended the topic and continued to return to the original topic track.

Lance pondered for a while, "The words of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean'...the advantage is that this is a mature project, the theme has been clear, and the factors for success have been clear. Just follow the steps to develop. Success is not a big problem; but the disadvantage is," Lance thought about it and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "...This is a mature project."
