538 Strong Rejection

George Clooney is known as the most suitable actor in politics in Hollywood, not only because he is versatile, but also because he has a strong interest in politics, but also because his wisdom and elegance can handle many unexpected situations. The calmness and calmness that is not as good as the top of the mountain is one of the essential elements of politicians, and George naturally has this ability.

But at this moment, the smile on George's face could hardly be maintained. The unconcealed surprise and panic stiffened in the elegant curve of the corners of his mouth.

George found that he seemed to be less and less aware of Lance in front of him. The Lance who lacked the ability to make decisions and the overall view, the optimistic, enthusiastic and friendly Lance, the Lance who turned a blind eye to the outside world and devoted himself to the movie, became a change of things without realizing it. "What's wrong with him?" A storm wave was stirring up in George's mind. It was really rare to make him lose his composure.

Barry, who was standing aside, was obviously more experienced than George. After all, he and Lance had little relationship with each other, and the shock was limited. What's more, as the CEO of Warner Bros., Barry had seen countless storms and waves, so he naturally wouldn't make a fuss. But at this time, Barry could not hide his surprise, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, "Oh? Really?" Barry confirmed again, a little confused, and a little puzzled, "You are the best candidate in my mind. Are you sure you can't join the crew?"

Barry expected that Lance would have objections. Recalling the careful preparations of Chaos Pictures before, Barry knew that it would not be so easy to accept the invitation calmly. Of course, he also thought about the possibility of Lance's rejection, but it was definitely not so straightforward, and he did not even think about it carefully, as if he was just an impulse to refuse.

However, Lance didn't look like an impulsive person, so Barry reaffirmed with a deep look in his eyes, as if saying, "Do you know how important the opportunity you missed?"

Of course, Lance knew how important a project he had missed, to him and Chaos Film. But at the same time, Lance also knew that if it were not for the entire universe project, then the importance of "Superman Return" would not be irreplaceable.

In fact, the situation is not that complicated.

Either it is to shoot a "Superman Return" according to Warner Bros. But for Lance, the risk of failure is too great. The script is difficult to be innovative when it is bound to be limited. It is definitely not as easy as the "Batman Prequel" series. It is definitely not possible to break the image of Clark Kent. Especially considering that the project has already squandered 50 million yuan, it is very likely that it is a thankless situation. Perhaps Lance's version of "Superman Return" can be successful, but the efforts and rewards are difficult to be proportional.

Either Lance takes a step back and temporarily suspends the cooperation between Chaos Pictures and Warner Bros. He focuses on "Superman Return". However, Lance still builds the entire universe with "Superman Return" as the starting point, and uses the success of a work to convince Warner Bros. and convince them to cooperate with Chaos Pictures to cooperate with the subsequent works. But not to mention the risk of success of the work, this is equivalent to handing over the initiative to Warner Bros. If the cooperation can be achieved, it will naturally be fine. But what if Warner Bros. breaks the bridge? Warner Bros. gave up Lance and chose to build the universe with Legend Pictures, or choose other directors and producers to complete the follow-up work. This is equivalent to Lance building the framework of the universe and working hard to create the first song, but he can only watch Warner Bros. take it away?

Reims is not Jesus.

Of course, are there any other possibilities in things? There must be some. Both sides sat down and discussed slowly, and there must be other solutions to the matter. However, from Barry's actions today, he could see that he was not sincere enough, and even planned to suppress Lance's spirit. While announcing the result, he clearly refused Lance's bargaining. The beginning of the cooperation was so unpleasant. How could people have expectations for the future? Lance did not intend to compromise, nor did he seek trouble, nor did he intend to make wedding dresses for others.

Lance faced Barry's gaze without any retreat and said with a smile, "It's really a pity." A concise and clear sentence, without any unnecessary explanation, also killed the possibility of the conversation continuing, and simply put it a final end.

A flame jumped in Barry's eyes in an instant. He didn't like being rejected, and he was not used to being rejected. In front of George, Lance's rejection had almost no room for negotiation, and it was completely challenging his authority. Barry's pupils shrank slightly, exuding a dangerous aura. He looked at Lance carefully and carefully, like a lion catching prey, and his powerful aura burst out instantly.

But Lance faced his gaze calmly and freely, without showing any weakness, and there was even a calm smile on the corner of his mouth. The blue eyes reflected Barry's angry expression, clear, without any wavering, and without any hesitation. He could even capture a trace of playfulness and joking from the depths of his eyes, and stabbed Barry sharply.

Tough to tough, but no one is willing to retreat. This tense confrontation is a life-and-death cat and mouse game, or a fight and thug Jerry and Tom game, it seems that no one can make an accurate judgment. Even when facing the CEO of Warner Bros., Lance did not have any timidity or hesitation. For a moment, the atmosphere between the two people was tense and sparked, as if they would take out a pistol in the next second.

"We're going to be late." George's throat was a little dry, but he tried to speak in a gentle and polite tone, breaking the suffocating deadlock and teased half-jokingly, "The movie is about to begin, I think the director won't want to miss his own moment, right?"

"certainly."

"affim."

Lance and Barry said in unison, and then smiled at the corners of their mouths, as if nothing had happened. They gave in and made an invitation gesture, politely letting the other party go in first, but no one moved their steps first. In the end, George friendlyly put the two people on the shoulders and gently pushed them. Barry first entered the screening room, then Lance, and finally George. The three men entered the screening room in a row, leaving only a tightness in the air.

Barry's steps slightly faster, and he smiled and faced the acquaintance in the screening room. George pulled Larance's arm. The two of them slowed down. Lance raised his head and saw George's worried expression, "What's wrong?" The sentence contained thousands of words.

In a trance, Lance almost believed that George was his best friend, but his rationality was so clear that a hint of absurdity arose because of George's excellent acting skills. "It's okay, it's just a matter of schedule." Lance said it lightly and had no intention of saying anything to George.

"Lance." George called out to Lance, and the miscellaneous eyes flashed slightly under the lights in the screening room. "It's good that you know it yourself. I hope you have made the right decision." George said with concern, his tone paused, as if he had a moment of hesitation, "One more thing"

Before George could say anything, a low cry of gritting teeth came from beside him, "Lancelot Strello! You owe me an explanation!" He turned his head and saw Jennifer Aniston walking over quickly. There was a smile on her face, but her teeth were biting tightly, saying word by word.

After approaching, Jennifer showed an apology to George. George naturally would not violate the gentleman's principles and took a polite step back, as if nothing had happened just now.

Lance looked at George meaningfully, and he could realize that George was indeed going to tell him at the premiere of "Sin City" today, but what was it? He was even more curious that the ship of Diorama Film was about to sink, so what choice would George make? He believed that George would never live and die with the ship, and he had 100% confidence in this.

Retracting his gaze, Lance looked at Jennifer, "Hey, sunny beauty, I hope you enjoy the party tonight."

Jennifer was amused by Lance's joke, "Don't try to please me and distract me." Although he said so, the smile on his face couldn't help but bloom, "Didn't you say you should deal with the media for me? As a result, all the reporters kept coming to ask me about Brad, Jesus Christ, I am not an appendix to Brad, why do they always come to ask me about him?"

"That's the point. You're not his accessory, you're not anyone's accessory." Lance patted Jennifer's arm. "You have your career, you have your life. You don't have to pay for his mistakes. Of course, the end of a marriage is both responsible, but the problem now is that you don't need to avoid all public occasions because of his problems. You're an excellent actor, and Friends' ratings hit a new high this year, right? You should have your own spotlight."

Jennifer's words stopped at the tip of her tongue and looked at Lance blankly, her nose was slightly sore. She and Lance were friends, and she had met several parties in private, but there was still a distance between making friends. However, she did not expect that the person who really expressed her inner thoughts was this man.

"Don't try to use sweet words to perfunctory your negligence." Jennifer still complained righteously, but the smile in her eyes had betrayed her true thoughts. "If the reporter asks why Brad didn't attend tonight's premiere, you will be responsible for answering."

Lance shrugged, "No problem. So, should we enjoy my latest movie first now?"

This joking sentence made Jennifer's cheeks slightly hot. When she looked back, she could see that the entire screening room was almost full. Everyone was waiting for the movie to be screened. She glared at Lance fiercely, and then quickly walked towards her position. To be continued.
