"Knock," Ian knocked on the office door. After waiting for a while, he heard the sound of "come in" inside, and then he pushed open the office door. Then he heard a "slam" sound, which made Ian's movements stop. He looked over carefully and saw that the entire office floor was filled with all kinds of comic books, dazzlingly colorful.

Lance sat cross-legged on the ground, flipping through comic books, while Gao Wen was lying on the sofa, and several comic books were piled up on his chest. "Be careful, don't step on it. Several of them are limited editions, the first edition. I heard that the auction on the Internet has reached 500,000 US dollars per book."

Ian raised his eyebrows, and finally all his questions turned into helplessness. Recently, in order to prepare for the DC Universe project, Lance is constantly flipping through all the comics under DC. Even many staff members of Chaos Film were brought in to read together, and the style of the entire office was wrong.

"So, how about today's talk?" Lance temporarily put the comic on his knees and raised his head to ask.

Ian tiptoed to the corner, sat on the boss's chair, trying to ignore the chaos in front of him, "There is nothing special about the report, everything goes smoothly." Today Ian went to Warner Bros. Today, he published a plan for the construction of the DC universe and the cooperation plan between Chaos Film and Warner Bros. Unlike the previous oral publication of Lance, this time he made a complete project plan and published it in front of the board of directors of Warner Bros.

Lance nodded for granted. Ian was an expert in this area, so there was no problem.

"However," Ian's words changed, "they probably wouldn't be willing to issue the "City of Sin." Facing Lance, he did not need to go around in circles, be straightforward and straightforward.

"Are they blind?" Before Lance could speak, Gao Wen sat up directly, with a speechless expression on his face, and activated his taunting skill.

The originally serious atmosphere suddenly became funny when Gao Wen interrupted. Lance also had a smile on his lips. He ignored Gao Wen and looked at Ian, "You talked about this?" Today Ian's main task is the cooperation between the two companies. The meeting appointment for the issuance of "City of Sin" was made the day after tomorrow. Although they were both Warner Brothers, the negotiation departments were completely different, so naturally they could not be confused.

Ian nodded. As soon as he was about to speak, the office door was suddenly knocked open. The muffled sound made all three people in the room look at the door at the same time. Lance couldn't help but frowned slightly. Many comic books in the room were treasured books, and the value was second. The key was its importance to the owner.

Lance went online through Frank Miller and found eight loyal fans of DC Comics before and after that. If the comic is damaged, it will have an impact on Frank's reputation and Lance's subsequent plans. If Lance originally planned to successfully win the Warner Bros. cooperation, he would invite these eight fans to participate in the construction of the DC Universe. As professionals, they must be much more professional than Lance, a half-bucket layman.

Looking up, Lance saw Amanda Seyfried (Amanda-Sef), wearing a royal blue bandage skirt, standing at the door. His brilliant blonde hair looked lazy and casual. He chewed chewing gum in his mouth, allowing his soft lips to change into different shapes. The flame-like red outlined a hint of wildness and unruly. His proud body curve had a natural fatal attraction. When he looked back, he actually had a Marilyn Monroe illusion, which amazed the lazy sunshine around him.

"How long do you want me to wait? I'm almost moldy when I'm sitting in the car. The paparazzi downstairs have been wandering around. I'm really bored!" Amanda bit the gum with her front teeth and gently blew a pink bubble.

Percy then appeared. He raised his hands and wanted to grab Amanda, but he was worried that such a move would be too rude and didn't know where to put it. Finally, he could only take a deep breath, "Miss Seyfried, please wait outside!" Amanda suddenly appeared just now. Because he was a well-known face, everyone was a little surprised, but he did not stop it - who knew if Amanda had a job or had a personal relationship with Lance.

Percy's movements were also slower. He stepped forward to ask about Amanda's origin. Unexpectedly, Amanda just asked the location of Lance's office and broke through without hesitation. He caught him off guard and Percy didn't stop him. Such an accident made Percy a little embarrassed.

Lance's eyes circled Amanda's face and said coldly, "Go out!" Without any room for maneuver, he directly issued the order to expel guests.

Amanda obviously did not expect that she would receive such treatment, which made her temper burst out, "What the hell are you saying! Say it to me again..."

Amanda is only nineteen years old now. She is young and energetic, and has no charm at all. She still cannot escape the shackles of child stars. She is full of youthful and invincible ostentatiousness. Especially the "mean girl" who has achieved great success this year has won a lot of popularity. The "Nine Lives" that is currently working on production has attracted much attention.

"Go out!" Without waiting for Amanda to continue to speak, Lance cut off the ground and said loudly again. Although Lance still had that faint smile on his face, his cold voice had an undeniable majesty, and the cold and coldness that penetrated into his bones made people shudder.

Amanda couldn't believe his ears, stared at Lance in a daze, and then saw Lance's glass-like eyes flashing slightly, and her heart shrank suddenly. But even so, Amanda was still unwilling to show weakness, so she glared at Lance fiercely, then immediately looked away, still feeling a little guilty, turned her head to look at Ian sitting next to her, and said in a bad voice, "Didn't you hear it? She sat there without any response. Is this the so-called gentlemanly demeanor?"

Ian crossed his legs and sat gracefully in the chair, showing a smile at Amanda, which made Amanda feel a little relieved. He raised his chin and glanced at Lance with a condescending look, and then Ian's voice came over, "You heard Lance's words."

"That's what I said..." Amanda said, but his words were stuck halfway and he looked at Ian incredibly, "You are joking with me!" Ian's expression did not change at all, but the calm smile made Amanda's words stuck in his throat. Finally, he muttered and cursed a few words, and then raised his middle finger in the direction where Lance was. Without waiting for Lance or Ian to respond, he turned around and left with great strides.

Percy stood at the door hesitant, not sure whether he should chase after him, but Lance ignored it and just said loudly, "Close the door." Percy looked at Ian sitting next to him, and then closed the door again. Looking back, Amanda was gone.

Gao Wen whistled, "Good eyes." Ian rolled his eyes speechlessly, "So, what about Kate Beckinsale? I thought you were serious about her." After all, they all attended the premiere together, and the media has officially recorded it. Now, it has only been more than two months since the premiere of "Borrowing a Knife and Killing" and things have changed again.

Ian directly ignored Gao Wen's joke, "Are the comics okay?" Although Lance didn't say it, Ian also realized that these comics were very important.

Lance waved his hand, "So, did you talk about the release?" Gao Wen took the initiative to walk over and put away all the comic books scattered at the door. After confirming that it was fine one by one, he threw them on the sofa. The crackling sound made Lance and Ian speechless, but Gao Wen seemed to have not heard of it, and sat directly on the sofa and started to read the comics again.

"I didn't talk directly, but during the conversation, I could hear that they felt that the risk was too great." Ian retracted his attention and was not disrupted by the accident just now, and continued to say, "I later explored the production department's tone. They felt that the shooting techniques of "Sin City" were too novel and too advanced, and the current market was difficult to accept, and the box office results would definitely not be too good. If they were responsible for the distribution, interests would definitely not be the primary factor, you are. Therefore, if the DC project still has the intention to continue cooperation, it would be no problem for the release of "Sin City" to issue "Sin City"; but they are unwilling to start further negotiations with us specifically for the release of "Sin City".

Interest is paramount, and this code can be felt in every aspect of Hollywood. Not only Warner Bros., but also Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox.

For the issue of "Sin City", after the Oscar nomination luncheon, Lance did not sit down and rest, but contacted Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox respectively, hoping to reach a release cooperation. However, the conversation was not very smooth, even Paramount.

In terms of friendship, Brad Gray's trust in Lance is beyond doubt. The success achieved by "City of God" is still vivid in my mind. Even if it is just for the potential stock of Lance, the smallest effort to exchange for the issuance of "City of Sin", it is a cost-effective transaction. But Brad seemed very hesitant and did not show enough decisiveness.

After thinking deeply, Brad has begun to take over Paramount. Although the formal handover has not yet taken effect, it is a foregone conclusion that Brad replaces Shirley Lansing as Paramount CEO. This also means that Brad must not only think from Paramount's perspective, but also from his own perspective. More importantly, he has just taken over the company and how to burn the three fires in the new official's tenure as a new official, this is the primary issue he needs to consider - issuing "City of Sin" is not a wise choice.

Ultimately, the problem lies in the "City of Sin".
