537 Bad News

The "Welcome to Your Sin City" event finally selected fifteen groups of award-winning works, covering a total of 53 creators.

As the premiere was in full swing, Lance was patient and spent thirty minutes unhurriedly communicating with every group and even every winner. It was not a socially polite scene such as "Thank you for coming", but a real exchange of meaningful words.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a completely misplaced act. However, for Lance, it is a very important task. He flew to New York three times in person to communicate and explain with the Museum of Modern Art, which ultimately led to the sublimation of the entire event.

This is not only a breakthrough for "City of Sin" to improve style and quality, but also an important step to pave the way for Chaos Pictures in the future.

However, among the actors participating in "Sin City", Bruce Willis, Mickey Rock, Benicio del Toro, Elijah Wood and others all have good connections in Hollywood, and each invited three or five friends to attend. In addition, the top brands specially invited by Lance, all of this made the premiere tonight lively. Even if Lance is temporarily "absent", it seems to be harmless.

When Lance finished communicating with the winners, all the main actors of "City of Sin" had arrived at the scene, and the heavy guests were also present. Lance returned to the premiere and joined the live guest exchange. After nearly thirty minutes of busyness, it was temporarily reached. Next, the reporters and audiences will enter the scene one after another, and the true face of the movie will be revealed soon.

Everyone took the initiative to greet Lance. Even if they only walked into the screening room from the door, Lance almost paused in one step and saw George Clooney and Barry Meyer waiting for him at the entrance of the screening room, but Lance took twenty minutes to walk in front of the two people.

"Wow, it seems we'd better make an appointment in advance in the future." George's joke made Lance chuckle and said seriously, "It's better to make an appointment a week in advance." This made George and Barry laugh out loud, and Lance asked half-jokingly, "So, what exactly made you two come together?"

George exchanged a glance with Barry, and finally George spoke, "Do you remember the friendship hand I extended to make a bridge for you?"

Lance showed a sudden realization and pointed at George and said meaningfully, "That's an excellent lie." A pun.

However, George seemed not to hear the profound meaning of Lance's words, shrugged with a smile, and accepted Lance's praise, "Barry is about to announce good news today, so he invited me to come here to testify. You know, if you pass on this good news, maybe you should consider my dividend issue." After Lance chuckled, George turned to Barry and handed the conversation to Barry.

"Haha, it's amazing, isn't it? George can always portray things so interesting and wonderful." Barry opened with a joke, "But he was right. Today, besides the extremely important thing of the release of Sin City, I can't wait to feel the shock and surprise brought by this work," Speaking of polite words, Barry was calm and interesting, and easily controlled the atmosphere on the scene. "In addition, I want to send a friendly signal." Barry looked around and saw that there were no more people left at the entrance of the screening hall, and the remaining noise reflected the excitement in the screening hall. "I wonder if you are willing to take over the project of Superman Return?"

An ominous premonition.

When Lance saw George and Barry standing side by side, waiting for him at the door of the screening room, there was an ominous premonition deep in his heart. It was hard to explain. At this moment, Barry was conveying a "good" news, but Lance sniffed something wrong and could not be described in words. Looking at the excitement on Barry's face and the excitement in George's eyes, the bad feeling was becoming more and more real.

"I know, I know." Barry raised his hands and made an act to stop Lance, as if to stop Lance from speaking out, "This is a very difficult task and also a very heavy task. But to be honest, I can't think of any other suitable candidates besides you. To be more precise, even if someone recommends others, I think you are the only candidate. This work is yours!" Gao Hats one after another, "In order to show our trust, we will hand over the final editing rights to you, and at the same time, the final decision of the script is also handed over to you, and within the authority of the director and producer, you will be given the greatest freedom. You will say whatever you think and I will nod and agree! The only requirement is to shoot a wonderful work, so that we can re-appreciate the style of superman."

boom!

The answer was finally revealed, and it turned out that this was the so-called good news. From a literal sense, it was indeed the case. Warner Bros. handed over the "Superman Return" at a cost of 300 million yuan to Lance, and at the same time handed over the final editing rights. This also means that within its professional scope, Lance has absolute control over the crew, which is a treatment that cannot be enjoyed during the "acquired day" and "killing with a knife". Not only can it clearly show the sincerity of Warner Bros., but it can also show that Lance's voice is increasing day by day, which is definitely an extremely important big step forward.

But, is it really that simple?

What Lance originally asked for was not the project "Superman Return", what he asked for was the project of the entire universe, and the cooperation between Chaos Pictures and Warner Bros.

But today, Barry did not mention the adaptation of comics at all, nor did he mention the cooperation between the two companies. Pay attention to Barry's words. The protagonist in each sentence is targeted by Lance, and he did not mention Chaos Pictures at all. Even if Warner Brothers gave Lance a lot of power, Lance was just a producer, director, and screenwriter, just a worker, not a partner.

Especially with George standing next to him, this means that Barry doesn't want to talk about the secrets. In other words, Barry just came to announce the final decision of Warner Bros.: He hoped to cooperate with Lance with the only project "Superman Return" project.

In fact, Lance initially considered this possibility. After all, Chaos Pictures is still too shallow in its foundation, and it is indeed difficult to become a fat man in one bite. In the current market environment, investing in the comics industry not only requires courage, but also courage. Even Warner Brothers needs to think twice before doing it.

But when Barry really made a verdict, Lance still couldn't accept such a result. He worked so much, Ian and Theo worked so much, not for a mere "Superman Return".

Temporarily suppressed the boiling in his mind, Lance showed a flattering expression. Since they wanted to act, he could cooperate. This is one of his professions. "Really? This is really my honor. I am a little excited now, and even my voice is trembling. Please forgive my rudeness." Lance's vivid expression vividly interpreted the true meaning of "touching the world". "So, Warner Brothers really want to hand over the Superman Return Project to me?"

Barry nodded vigorously and expressed his affirmation.

"Just just Superman's return project?" Lance looked at Barry seriously and asked again with confirmation. Perhaps to outsiders, this sentence was a bit strange, but Lance believed that Barry could hear the profound meaning inside. He needed Barry to give affirmation in person.

Barry nodded vigorously again, showing his affirmation without any hesitation.

Lance's eyes suddenly became deeper. If Barry chose a private occasion to have this conversation, it would mean that the two could communicate slowly, and there was room for maneuvering. But Barry chose such a time point, and such an occasion also invited George to be by his side. His attitude was not only tough, but also avoided further entanglement, and almost stifled other possibilities with an absolutely strong attitude.

Every detail of the entire behavior demonstrates Warner Bros.'s pride and strength as a top large film company. He issued orders condescendingly, and even Lance's qualification to negotiate further. In Lance's view, this is just a humiliation to be a bitch and a archway.

Although large film companies have always had this kind of urination, it is not the first time that Lance has felt it like this, but this does not mean that Lance needs to continue to swallow his anger.

In the flash of lightning, countless thoughts surged in Lance's mind, and then made a decisive decision, "This is indeed my honor, but I am very sorry. I don't think I can take on this project." Lance said with a smile. The regret between his eyebrows was so obvious, as if he had missed a great blessing, regretful and even a little annoyed.

Sometimes you can choose to compromise, but sometimes you have to be tough and hesitant. When the constant breakdown will only put yourself in a worse situation. In the last life, Lance was tortured by this shortcoming and he would not let himself repeat the same mistake. Therefore, after the decision was made, Lance had no regrets, no regrets, and no hesitation. The calm smile on his face did not change at all, perfect as if it was depicted after measuring with a measuring ruler. "I really want to cooperate with Warner Brothers. Believe me, this is my inner desire, but this time it may not work, I can only wait for the next time."

Shocked, absolutely shocked!

Not only George, but also a moment of surprise flashed in Barry's eyes. The stormy emotions surged, causing the facial muscles to temporarily lose control. Looking at Lance in disbelief, even making people wonder if his hearing was wrong. The moment of astonishment and confusion caused a moment of stagnation in the air. To be continued.
