After Lance explained his thoughts, he looked at Ian vigorously, but Ian did not respond immediately. He just looked at him quietly, with a faint smile on his lips, which made Lance chuckled, "Why, do you think this plan is too incredible?"

With Chaos Pictures’ current scale, it can be said that it is a fool to shake the entire Hollywood. Lance knows this, and Ian knows this too.

Ian chuckled and shook his head, "No, of course not. You know, I am the craziest one in the family." Ian had a gambler's blood in his bones, which was also the reason why he entered the financial industry. Thinking about the choice between Theo and Ian when their four brothers were facing a desperate situation, and thinking about the reaction between Theo and Ian when Lance proposed to bet on the European Cup, it is enough to prove this. "I'm just thinking, you've really grown up."

After saying it, Ian said it all.

Lance lowered his eyelids. He couldn't lie. Although he was still Lance, he was no longer the Lance. "So, is this a good thing or a bad thing?" A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, self-deprecating and sarcastic.

"If you have a choice, I hope you will never grow up." Ian's words contained a trace of unhidden pain, because he knew better than anyone else what the price of growing up was. He once thought he could protect Lance for the rest of his life, but now he finally understood that this was just a luxury.

Lance was a little surprised. He did not expect Ian's answer. He looked up at the floating and deep pain in Ian's eyes.

In his previous life, because he didn't know how to face Theo, Ian and Gao Wen, he chose to escape and escaped from afar to New York. Even after he was reborn, he chose to stay, but the fear in his heart never disappeared: if they knew that Lance was no longer a simple Lance, if they knew the secret of his rebirth and traveling through time... Then would they treat him as a monster? Will they continue to treat him as his younger brother? Will the tacit understanding between them disappear?

But at this moment, Lance found the answer in Ian's eyes, and his nose felt sore, which made him feel a little embarrassed. He avoided his sight in panic. The words reached his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He raised his head again, and then he saw Gao Wen leaning against the porch. Gao Wen folded his hands on his chest, with a big smile on his face, without any impurities, just like the first time he saw Gao Wen in his memory.

Drooping his eyes, Lance concealed the surging and miscellaneousness in his eyes. He once thought that no one could rely on in this world, and trust was an unattainable luxury for him. But obviously, he was wrong.

He was wrong. When he realized this, his mood began to fly. For the first time, he turned out that he had made a mistake, but it felt so wonderful.

"So, are you willing to support my new plan?" Lance said in a deep voice, trying to hide the tremor in his voice, taking a deep breath, and then returning to his usual appearance, looking up at Ian and Gao Wen.

"Plan? It seems that you have a curse, why don't you tell me it?" Ian leaned against the back of the chair, and his posture became even more relaxed. He saw all of Lance's cumbersome movements. He had known Lance for almost all his life. These small movements were really familiar. He knew that this was his younger brother, who had been protecting his younger brother for the rest of his life. Even if the world changed, even if things changed, Lance was still the Lance, the little guy who drooled at the cake, and this had never changed.

Gao Wen felt Lance's sight, so he walked to Ian and sat down, "Is it okay if Theo is not present?"

"It seems you miss him." Lance's teasing made Gao Wen burst out, and he raised his legs and wanted to stand up. As a result, Ian grabbed his right hand and pulled it hard, and he fell back into the chair. Lance took out his cell phone and dialed Theo's number, "Theo, I need a family meeting, and some plans need you to discuss."

"Give me three minutes." After Theo finished speaking, he hung up the phone, looking like he was busy.

While the three brothers were chatting, a sound came from the front door. They looked over the sound, and then they saw Theo strode towards him. As a result, the three brothers were stunned and looked at each other. Everyone's eyes were full of doubts, as if they were asking each other, "Did you invite Theo?" But all three shook their heads.

Theo was the only one wearing formal clothes, but even in the hot June, the cold breath on his body still did not change at all. Theo unbuttoned the suit and sat down beside Lance. His eyes were on Lance for a while, then turned to look at Ian and Gao Wen opposite him, "It's time to start."

"Uh, why are you here?" Ian interrupted the rhythm. Theo replied lightly, "Vacation." Ian rolled his eyes directly. When he came here yesterday, he specifically asked Theo. Theo's answer was "The company needs someone to take charge." As a result, in less than twenty-four hours, Theo came to Napa Valley. Isn't this lies with lies with his eyes open?

He opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but his eyes fell on Lance, and then Ian understood.

Although Lance didn't say anything and did not show any abnormality, after Diorama went bankrupt, they could all feel the subtle changes in Lance's condition. It seems that Theo was also worried about Lance.

So, the words turned around, "Lance just mentioned an idea..." Ian briefly explained the matter, then turned to look at Lance, "Now, we are looking forward to Lance's plan."

The three of them turned their eyes, and Lance was a little speechless for a moment, but then he realized that he was not facing the big guys, and there was no need to be so nervous. He couldn't help laughing, "No, I don't have a clear plan, I just have some ideas."

"I've been browsing the DC comics for a few months, and you all know this. I originally wanted to make the DC comics into a universe and form a huge League of Legends with a series of movies, but Warner Bros. thought this idea was too risky and they refused." Lance explained the matter in the simplest words, "I'm thinking now that Warner Bros. doesn't want to do it, why can't we do it ourselves?"

Gao Wen and Ian exchanged a glance, showing a puzzled expression, Theo also fell into thinking, but he just lit his chin slightly and said in a deep voice, "Continue."

"I think so. If I want to develop into a big company like Warner Bros. or Disney, relying solely on the film production department, it obviously won't work. DreamWorks has proved this." With the explanation, Lance's idea gradually became clear, but he was not sure how feasible it was, so he needed the opinions of others. "Now we have developed the distribution department and the trailer soundtrack department. Next, we can also develop the screenwriter department to attract more reserve talents, but this is just the first step. If we can think about it according to our own ideas, transform the comics into a universe."

"Start with developing movies, then derive to TV series and games, and even from movies to comics, this is also an option. For example, an unknown hero is very popular, or a hero played by an actor is very prominent, we can publish supporting comics and make the market bigger." In fact, Lance has been conceiving these contents, but in the process of persuading Warner Bros. to build the DC universe, Lance never said it, but did not expect it to become the development plan of Chaos Film now. "Besides, we can also develop derivative markets of peripheral products based on series of movies, or even theme parks, and develop comprehensively in various channels."

Lance looked at Ian, "The most profitable thing about film companies is never the movie itself, but the derivative products brought by movies. Haven't you always said that?" The reason why the six major Hollywood film companies dominate the market, or why DreamWorks has not been able to change the rules of the game, is actually the same truth: capital chain.

The six major film companies rely on Wall Street's funds to form a huge media. Although Wall Street can inject huge funds into them and become a strong backing, Wall Street is also profit-first and cannot be obtained. Film companies themselves are money-making institutions, and movies or TV are just one link. Taking this link as the starting point or end point, the entire ecological product chain will be generated, continuously creating profits, forming deep-rooted and unshakable absolute advantages.

Therefore, when the works of the six major film companies face a crushing defeat, they can often reduce losses through other channels and means, and even reach a balance of income and expenditure. Taking "Troy" as an example, after the box office failure, Warner Bros. recovered most of the costs through the overseas box office market and the videotape rental market. If it was Disney, they could even release peripheral products and set up projects in theme parks to complete the goal of recycling costs or creating profits. "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a project created to drive tourists to the Pirate Project in theme parks.

But the disastrous defeat of the "Saharan Cavalry" made Diorama and Baldwin Pictures unable to resist.

After Chaos Film has its distribution department and production department, the trailer soundtrack department and screenwriter department will further enrich the company's framework, which also means that Chaos Film has the potential to become a mature film company. However, from an ordinary film company to a top film company, it requires more than just funds.

Now, the answer given by Lance is: the huge cosmic plan established with comics as the core is magnificent, but full of thorns.
