Lance listened with a serious look on his face. At the end of his words, the surprise in his expression slowly penetrated and gradually turned into at a loss. The dilemma between the eyebrows fell into a vortex of contemplation, and the smile on the corner of his mouth also showed a hint of apology and hesitation.

Even without saying a word, all emotions have been written on your face.

Jerry finished speaking in one go, not ignoring the subtle changes in Lance's mood. However, after he finished speaking, the face in his sight was not as flattered as expected. On the contrary, he was hesitant and hesitant, as if he was considering his own words, which made Jerry a little puzzled and didn't understand what was going on.

Then Jerry heard Lance's sincere voice, "Sorry." The smile on his lips slowly stiffened. After rolling in Hollywood for so many years, he knew more than anyone what this sentence meant on this occasion. "I can't take on this director job. I think Golvebinsky's job is very good, which is something I can't surpass. He will be more suitable for this job than me."

Jerry's facial expression completely frozen, and he couldn't react for a while. For a millisecond, his brain was in a hurry.

Lance is just a new director who is a fledgling director. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to direct a 500 million project. It is obvious that Lance has been trying hard for the past two months. It is also very excited when he heard the news just now. Lance should be grateful, but why is he saying "sorry"? Which part of this is wrong?

Eric sat next to him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Obviously he did not expect that Lance would refuse! Even if it was incredible to describe it, it would be no exaggeration to think about it. Looking back on the efforts made by Lance in the past few months and the disputes within Disney, it seemed that all signs showed that Lance was very eager to take charge of the "Pirates of the Caribbean", but his hope was slim. Now, the director's position has finally been handed over to Lance, but he actually refused! Eric only felt that his head was short-circuited for a moment and could not react at all.

Subconsciously, Eric turned his head and looked at Jerry for help, wanting to seek Jerry's opinion. Then Eric saw Jerry's disbelief astonishment and shock, and even smelled a hint of humiliation. Inexplicably, Eric felt a sense of joy and pleasure, but he quickly suppressed it, quickly withdrew his gaze, and curiously cast a gaze at Lance.

Lance noticed Eric's eyes, and he turned his head to give him a smile, apologizing with a hint of friendship, and then shrugged gently, "Of course, I have completed the script of the previous version, although it has not been modified. But if you want to use this version, it is naturally my honor."

Shame, this is simply a great humiliation!

Hearing Lance's hypocritical words was like a loud slap on his face. It was like being spitted by a blonde girl, completely angering Jerry. The sense of humiliation was unprecedented. Jerry just wanted to leave directly and teach Lance a lesson, so that he could know what it means to be a measure!

But, but he knew he could not. Jerry was not a fledgling young man. He had been in this industry for more than 30 years. He knew better than anyone that emotional out of control at this time was the loss and the loss, and he really fell down. What's more, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project is no longer that simple. Michael and Robert are both staring at this project now, and he is on two boats, and if he accidentally falls into the ditch.

So, not only can he not leave, but he also has to stay and finish the matter, and even convince Lance to take on the project.

Suddenly, Jerry felt that Eric was sitting next to him was in a way. Why did he follow him? Was he deliberately trying to see his own joke? If so, then was Eric sent by Robert or Michael? If not, can he shut up when he goes back?

Countless thoughts swarmed over, but Jerry had no time to think, because the most urgent task was Lance in front of him. He originally thought it was an absolute opportunity to declare his strong position, but Jerry now found himself in a dilemma.

If he continues to persuade Lance, it is equivalent to lowering his posture and waiting for Lance to continue slapping the face. Moreover, Lance has already mentioned the reason, he thinks Gore is more suitable. It was Jerry's decision to choose Gore at the beginning. If Jerry refutes, it is equivalent to slapping himself in the face.

But if he gives up, what will Disney do to explain? What will Michael and Robert think? If both of them suspect that he is interfering in it, Jerry couldn't help but shudder.

"I never knew you were such a humble person." In just a blink of an eye, Jerry's mind had changed. He forced himself to smile, push his stiff muscles away, and relax his expression again. "Haha, how outstanding your abilities are, I think you have proved yourself."

Although he could speak compliments at all, looking at the low-key and modest Lance in front of him, Jerry felt as if his tongue was sore and he couldn't express any praise.

Lance seemed not to notice Jerry's abnormality, and shook his head with a chuckle, "I wouldn't think so. Pirates of the Caribbean is a unique work, and I don't think I can do it. What's more, Gore performed very well in the first work, and the crew's work was very harmonious. In a harmonious atmosphere, he would definitely be able to create a better work. No one could do better than him." Lance shrugged, and the light in his eyes flashed slightly. "We don't like Pirates of the Caribbean to become another future water world, don't we?"

Grass!

Jerry only felt as if he had broken the armrest of the sofa. Just a week ago, he mentioned the "Future Water World" meaningfully in front of Lance, just to shock Lance, but now he shot himself in the foot. If Lance didn't know anything, Jerry would commit suicide on the spot! Then this means that Lance did it on purpose and Lance deliberately humiliated himself!

After understanding this, Jerry felt that he was about to explode. The other party had already slapped him in the face, but he still had to smile and send him to the other cheek. This was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Haha." Jerry laughed dryly, his throat was so dry that it was uncomfortable, and his voice was like sandpaper. "You are right, no one hopes that. Hollywood is a very small circle. After all, I found that the partner of the team was always the same, so we always hope that the atmosphere of the crew would be more harmonious. After all, even if it wasn't this work, the next work would continue to work together, right?"

Jerry's words were almost squeezed out from the cracks of his teeth, half threatening and half persuading, hoping that Lance would understand this truth: if he offends him, no one can get it in the end. If he loses the game, Lance will suffer, which is 100% certain.

But Lance seemed to be unable to get in. He just nodded with a smile, as if responding to his words, but there was no expression. Jerry gritted his teeth and finally calmed down his emotions again, maintaining the curve of his smile that was almost about to collapse. "Believe me, the reason we chose you is because you are suitable. Your talent amazes all of us. There are 6,000 people in the academy, and you have already won the hearts of most of the people. This is the best proof." Jerry is complimenting Lance, complimenting with the Oscar nomination.

"What's more, your script is so outstanding that it can be described as stunning. God, bold and delicate, wonderful and accurate, is a good script that is rare in ten years for a commercial movie. So, no one is more suitable than you. You are directing this movie. I believe you will give a perfect answer for the framework, rhythm control and creation of the script. We can't wait!"

Jerry found that he was almost exhausted, and racked his brains to praise Lance, just saying "You are the ones." Then the sentence came, "We all firmly believe that you are the ones who are the director of this work!"

Eric was feeling uncomfortable, and he suddenly realized that today Jerry was completely humiliated, and he was the only bystander. Jerry could vent his feelings to Lance, but fortunately, he would become a scapegoat if he couldn't. This was really a disaster. However, if he thought about it carefully, Eric felt it was worth it, because Jerry had not received such treatment for seven or eight years. If Jerry had not been involved in Disney's power struggle, he had to be cautious and he would not have to face the situation today. However, this is life. If you want to win more, you must give more. This is fair or, it can be said, you will suffer.

Thinking of this, Eric's mouth quietly rose up.

"Wow, Jerry, you made me blush." ​​Lance sat upright and listened to all Jerry's compliments, and then sighed dryly, but his words were not sincere at all, as if he was ridiculed. "I really thank you very much for your appreciation. But I can't line up at the moment, and another job has tripped me up." Lance glanced at the comics in the room, meaningful, "So, although I really want to join the Pirates of the Caribbean crew, I'm very sorry, we can only look forward to the next time. But I must thank you again for your sincere invitation, which is my honor."

Jerry almost spit out his old blood. So, Lance did it on purpose. He could have refused on the grounds of schedule conflict early, but he kept saying it. He watched him say those stingy words with a harsh manner, and humiliated him in such a way.

Jerry's hands clenched into fists, trembling slightly due to excessive force. However, Lance did not give him a chance to vent, and still maintained a bright smile, saying sincerely and modestly, "But, as I said, if there is something to use me in the script, I am very willing to do my part."

That smile made Jerry just want to tear it apart! To be continued.
Chapter completed!
