Lance did not rush to leave immediately, but returned to work. After calculating the time, he went to the Olive Garden.┞You have to read┟┠┠┠book 1kanshu.┡As expected, when Hugo arrived, George had already sat in the restaurant waiting for a while.

Olive Garden is a high-end restaurant located in the suburbs. It takes at least 45 minutes to drive from downtown Los Angeles, but it is definitely worth the money. The entire restaurant is a small retro villa, with green vines crawling on the dark gray stone walls, and the continuous green shade wraps the house. The spacious courtyard full of brown wooden backrest chairs is like a secret garden. Even in Los Angeles in November, it still gives people the illusion of traveling to a lakeside vacation cottage that is sociable in spring and summer.

The quiet environment, coupled with the two chefs from France and Italy, the aroma of the food is even more refreshing. Therefore, you can often meet Hollywood celebrities here, which also attracts many new actors to visit here - just like tourists.

Dinners here must be reserved, even one month in advance. However, lunch is different. In Hollywood, which pays attention to the fast pace, few people will spend a lot of time specifically on lunch. Even so, before leaving, George still called Olive Garden and made an appointment in advance.

"If I had expected your lateness, you would definitely not believe it. ┞you have to read ╟┢┞book.ww.1┠" George did not stand up, but just sat on the chair with a smile and said to Lance. His familiar and intimate attitude seemed to be more comfortable. George waved to the waiter and signaled that he could serve the meal. "I think the chef's menu today is good, it's veal stewed with white sauce. Don't you mind?"

George did know him and knew his diet and taste. Lance nodded to the waiter, "I can take Bordeaux that I stayed here last time."

In fact, after leaving Diorama, Lance was sitting in the air, founded Chaos Film and filming "City of God", and now he had to be more careful and did not have that extra money to enjoy. Even places like Olive Garden, Lance hasn't been here for a long time. But today, Lance came prepared and spent money like before, just a small detail.

After the waiter stepped back, Lance looked at George again, smiled and shook his head, "No, I don't believe it." This was answering George's previous topic, and George couldn't help but show his confusion, "Because if you expected it, you wouldn't be so anxious to come over." This was to hint that George couldn't wait.

George heard it, but did not avoid it, spread his hands, "I have always been the one who lost." He resolved Lance's attack in this way, very cleverly. "I heard that you are extremely busy lately. How is the post-production progress of the work? OK?"

"It seems that you are immersed in Zeta-Jones' gentle country and have no time to take care of other things. You have to read ╟┡┝╟book 1;┝" This statement also explains why George is ignorant of the progress of "City of God". However, Lance speculated that even if George did not know everything, he would definitely not turn a blind eye. George just hoped that Lance would explain the situation in person to see if he could get different news.

Lance seemed to have not noticed George's intentions - as a friend, Lance naturally would not speculate on every word George said casually, "The post-production has been basically completed, and then I was successfully shortlisted for the Sundance Film Festival exhibition list. I will go to Park City soon!"

"Wow! Congratulations!" George showed a big smile on his face, and even looked happier than Lance. "Congratulations! Park City, you have always wanted to go before, didn't you? But you never found a chance. This time, your dream has finally come true! And, you still carry your own works, Oh, God, it's great!"

Lance seemed a little shy and modestly curled his smile, "I didn't expect to go to Sundance in this way. For me, this is already a victory! As for my time in Park City, I will treat it as a vacation."

"You're not serious!" George put his chin away with a smile and joked, "I thought you were confident in this movie, and even hoped to gain something in Sundance. ┞You have to read ┝┝┝Book 1;┟"

"Haha, of course, I'm looking forward to something gained." Lance's straightforward affirmation surprised George, "The movie has not yet found a suitable company. I hope my luck will change after the movie is screened in Park City."

These words can be said to be heart-warming. Lance not only admitted that the current "City of God" has encountered difficulties in the process, but also conveyed a hint of hesitation. He lacked confidence in the movie and hoped that luck would help. Compared to the rumors in the circle, Lance's personal admission was obviously much more true and accurate.

It seems that Lance is really unsuspecting and still regards George as a good friend. This makes George decide to step closer in a rhythmic manner, "What? Have you not found a suitable company yet? I thought you had solved the problem of performance for a long time. After all, you started with it." George did not avoid the problem of Diorama Film, but just mentioned it just right, just right.

Lance shook his head with a smile, "It's not easy to find a suitable company in the movie. Actually, I don't have much hope for Sundance. Do you still remember the jury award of Sundance in 2O1?" George recalled carefully, and hesitantly raised the ending, "'Believers'?"

Lance nodded and affirmed, "This movie shone on Sundance back then, but no one was willing to do it. It was not until May last year that it was limited to screening. After waiting for a full sixteen months, the final box office was only 400,000 US dollars. ┟┡ wanted to read books.ww.1k┠ and that movie invested 1.5 million US dollars." This is reality, not a joke.

For many movies, it is one thing that high investment cannot yield returns, and it is another thing that the artistic value of movies cannot be confirmed. Therefore, more and more people's dreams of movies have become soap bubbles in the collision of reality.

"How much did you invest in this movie?" George said worriedly. Lance made a "three" gesture, and George's brows tighter, "So, do you need any help? What can I help?"

"Talk in front of the media? Then if the movie has the opportunity to be released, will you attend the screening ceremony?" Lance said without any psychological burden. George's reputation and popularity are a beautiful landscape in Hollywood at present. Lance doesn't mind making good use of George and achieving his goals.

"Of course, that's for sure!" George said without any hesitation.

"I feel a little headache when I think about it now. I hope Sundance can become a turning point." Lance looked at George with a trustworthy look, which was showing his weakness. The "City of God" was indeed a difficult problem, and what Lance needed the least was Ryan's thrust. He needed Ryan to relax his vigilance, and he also needed Ryan to change his focus. "If I shoot the next work, I will never choose a movie again."

Lance began to dig a hole.

"Really?" George looked disbelieving. Diorama Film was able to get to where it is today because it started with a movie. After performing well at the Oscars, Golden Globes and major film festivals, it earned a reputation and rose strongly.

Lance said three "why not", "It's like the 'Eleven Arhat', it will be much easier to work with a large company to shoot a commercial movie, and the exhibition will be much faster. Chaos Film needs the most in its just-established stage, and the accumulation of capital is fast. Of course, if reputation can also be rewarded, it will be additional rewards."

George still looked disbelief and shook his head, "It's not easy to shoot a large-scale commercial movie. You should know this better than me, right?" What George didn't say was that he didn't believe that Lance has the current funding ability, and Chaos Pictures has not yet reported any financing. Even the three million "City of God" did not know where Lance came from.

Lance clicked until he laughed mysteriously, "Of course, this has never been a simple task, but the greater the difficulty and the greater the risk, the more abundant the rewards, isn't it?"

George looked at Lance's confident look, but he believed it halfway. In fact, Lance had already shown such a vision a few years ago. The "Harry Potter" series, which became the starting point of the differences between Lance and Ryan, is ironclad. Lance's determination to "Pirates of the Caribbean" can show his ambitions. At that time, there were differences within Diorama Film, which ultimately failed to achieve Lance's plan.

But now, Lance is in charge of Chaos Pictures alone, and the execution of the plan will be smooth. Moreover, George will never forget that before Lance left Diorama, the negotiations between him and Disney on "Pirates of the Caribbean" had entered a substantial execution stage. If it weren't for Ryan's blockade, everything would be hard to say now.

So, Lance's words didn't sound like they were aimless.

George, who was suspicious, did not rush to jump to the conclusion. He also knew that Lance was actually a bold and meticulous person. He seemed to have a very radical strategy every time, but he was not blindly moving forward without foundation. But now, Chaos Pictures has only been established for only half a year, and the first work has not been found in the business company, let alone profit. Could it be that Lance would be arrogant and start to consider the next work?

Thoughts flashed, George showed a curious expression, "Oh? From your tone, you seem to have a goal?"
