"No, this shot must be stopped for three seconds!"
"Two seconds, I said it, only two seconds!"
"God, haven't you seen her performance in this shot? The pause of time is related to the shaping of the entire atmosphere!"
"This is what I want to say! The atmosphere in this section is a contrast between extreme movement and extreme static. Her lens must be more fragmented and increase the uneasy variability. His lens must be more stationary and let the calming emotions last longer, just like..." As he said, Aaron Menk began to gesture with his fingers. Aaron's lens is more like an electrocardiogram, up and down; while Lance's lens presents a straight line. "This editing technique that suddenly disrupts the rhythm must be accurate. His lens has been three seconds, so her lens must be shortened to about one and a half seconds, and two seconds is the limit!"
Lance sat next to her, with smoke from seven orifices, but she still forced herself to calm down and explained seriously, "I took this shot specifically, and her performance showed her inner hesitation..."
"The point is here!" Aaron interrupted Lance's words, "There is no need for her performance here. The only protagonist here is editing. The rhythm of the entire editing and the shaking of the camera are enough to bring out the whole emotion. There is no need for performance!" Aaron looked at Lance's impatient face, breathing angrily, ready to continue arguing, but Aaron did not intend to continue to delay, "Either you edit as I said, or you change the editor!"
Lance looked at Aaron in surprise and raised his ending, "That's it?"
"That's it." Aaron was determined and did not hesitate.
Lance clenched his teeth and closed his eyes, "I'm going to kill you."
Aaron smiled, he knew that Lance had compromised, "Wait until I finish the work." Aaron clearly knew the work distribution between him and Lance. In terms of editing, Lance could give suggestions, and he would listen carefully, but the final decision must be decided by him. This is also the fundamental reason why they worked so happily in the previous four works - the division of labor is clear.
Lance took a deep breath, then took out the rainbow candy from his pocket, pinched the packaging bag and threw a few of them into his mouth. Aaron didn't even know his head and shouted, "Don't make noise." Lance widened his eyes, "Don't be too tempted!" But Aaron didn't care at all, just shrugged, which made Lance kick the chair hard, stood up and left the editing room.
Aaron's mouth gently outlined a smile. Others said that Lance was a gloomy bastard, but he thought this bastard was actually quite interesting.
Pushing open the editing room, Lance came outside, and then saw Theo who was flipping through the magazine at the door.
People always say that Lance gives people a feeling of forbidden/desire. It seems that every time he appears in public, he wears suits and ties. Not only are the buttons neatly buttoned, but even the tie is neatly handled. But in fact, Theo is the real forbidden/desire/iceberg. In Lance's memory, Theo seems to have never been embarrassed. Even when he was a child, he wore a shirt every day and carefully fastened every button - as for the situation after being beaten, it was uncontrollable. In fact, after Lance was reborn, he consciously imitated Theo in dressing, because he also hoped to be as strong as Theo, so that he could face all the challenges that followed.
Today's Theo is no exception. Even in the hot summer, he is still wearing a dark blue suit with a white shirt, a silver blue tie with a white square scarf, as if he was coming to attend a formal meeting, and his short brown chestnut hair was still neat and neat. At this time, Theo's feet were spread out strictly, and he sat on the simple plastic chair at the door with a golden sword, reading a book called "Hollywood Reporter" with a serious smile. The cover of this issue happened to be wearing a cool Jessica Alba, and the whole picture seemed a bit out of place.
Hearing the sound of opening the door, Theo looked up and then saw the slightly messy Lance, with a faint smile in his eyes, and he asked, "Date time?"
Lance shook his head, but did not explain too much, "When did it come? Why didn't you knock on the door?"
"Is the work going smoothly?" Theo answered the question in a rhetorical manner.
Lance threw two more candies into his mouth, "It's smoother than I thought." "Fruit Hard Candy" is a small-scale work after all, and the post-production is far less difficult than the previous four works. Although he and Aaron have some differences, the overall progress is very smooth. "Has Ian arrived smoothly?"
"Well, I've called just now and I'm on my way to lunch." Theo put the magazine aside, then stood up, tidied up his clothes, and buttoned up the suit again. "Lunch time is up, let's have a meal with me."
Theo knew Lance too well and said it very cleverly, giving Lance almost no room for rejection. Lance laughed in silence and nodded, "Do you have a restaurant you like?" Lance took a step straight, then walked side by side with Theo, and the two brothers left the editing room.
Theo took out his cell phone from his briefcase, "I handed it to me before Percy left, you have seven missed calls."
Lance took the phone, but ignored it, stuffed it into his pocket, raised his head and saw Theo's puzzled gaze. He explained, "Sony's phone number is probably a script that urges me, so don't worry."
After the "Fruit Hard Candy" was completed, Sony Pictures began to re-engage with Lance. They hoped that Lance could read the script as soon as possible, and then the two sides would sit down to communicate. However, Lance had to devote himself to the post-production of the movie and had no time to pay attention to other things. I believe Sony Pictures also knew this. They called over so frequently just to show sincerity.
"I thought you would go to New York with Ian." Lance immediately changed the subject.
"He is enough for Wall Street, he is there, he knows a lot of friends." Theo simply replied.
In the past two months, none of the four brothers have stopped. Lance is busy with the implementation of Chaos Film's next production and distribution plan; after Gao Wen completed the exploration trip, he has returned to Green Bay. The new season training camp has already begun. He has now entered the preseason, waiting for the opening of the new season in September.
Gao Wen's investigation gave Lance's conjecture enough evidence to support it. After discussing with Ian, Theo decided to start shorting according to the plan, but more plans were needed in this regard, so Ian went to New York in person and officially launched Chaos Pictures' original accumulation plan for the next three or four years.
"I stayed, completed the acquisition of New Market Pictures, and started the integration of the distribution department." Theo quietly threw a bomb, "Now the office opposite is ours."
In just one year, Chaos Film's development has entered the next level. Now the entire fourth floor of Green Ridge Street has become Chaos Film's office, and its rise is really too rapid. "So, is the opposite office used as the distribution department?"
Theo nodded, "Now we are going to separate the distribution and production departments, and truly clarify the division of powers." This is also the reason why he stayed in Los Angeles. Chaos Pictures will fall into a short period of pain in the next period of time, and all work will be more chaotic. He must take charge of himself and bring the company back on track. "By the way, we decided to hand over the distribution department to James Corden, CEO of New Market Pictures, to serve as the general manager of the department."
Lance raised his eyebrows, "Will he?" From a business perspective, after a company was acquired, the original head held an important position in the new company, which is very normal; but New Market Pictures is an independent company, Lance thought that the helmsman would rather work in a large company or start a new business. After all, people are moving to a higher level, Chaos Pictures is not much larger than New Market Pictures.
"As long as you want." Theo's answer was even more clever. "In fact, if time allows, we can call him after we arrive at the restaurant and let him come over." Lance cast doubtful eyes at Theo, as if he didn't quite understand the purpose of this move. Theo could only patiently explain, "Nominally, Ian is the CEO of the company, but everyone knows that the true core soul of this company is you. So, only if you agree, he can take office."
Lance chuckled, "I thought you were the real core of the company." In fact, Lance really knew nothing about running a company. After handing over the company's affairs to Theo and Ian, he became the boss and could devote himself to his creation.
"I don't mind." Theo also made a joke.
"I don't mind either." The same words mean completely different. Lance answered the question Theo had just met James, but at the same time answered Theo's joke just now, a pun. Theo couldn't help but curl up gently. "So, you and Ian have already made plans for the short matter?"
After discussion, Theo and Ian decided to take a gamble. Since they wanted to start short-selling and did not turn back, they had to make careful plans, especially not affecting Chaos Pictures' plans for the next two years. Ian's ambitions gradually emerged, which was the real failure to succeed. So Ian went to New York in person to prepare to show his skills.
Theo did not answer, but turned to look at Lance, "Are you really interested in listening to me telling the details of the plan?"
Lance was stunned and chuckled, "You can talk, but I don't guarantee that I can concentrate." This made Theo shake his head gently, and a hint of helplessness appeared on the corner of his mouth.
On the track of the wheel of history, butterfly wings once again caused the gear to shift slightly. In the financial crisis that swept the world, an off-field force quietly joined the surging, brewing a truly earth-shaking tornado! Perhaps, one day in the future, the entire Hollywood pattern will really undergo earth-shaking changes, and all this starts here.
