"How is the current progress of the post-production of 'Fruit Hard Candy'?" After the main topics have been discussed today, James's heart hanging high fell halfway, and his whole body was full of energy. After the new market film industry was acquired, he ushered in a huge turning point in his career. Sure enough, the ups and downs of his life were unpredictable. Therefore, James's words also became lighter, "Have the current schedule of the work been determined?"

If nothing unexpected happens, "Fruit Hard Candy" will be James' first shot after taking office.

James was a little surprised. His positioning of "hard fruit candy" should be an awards season work. Lance did not deny it during the conversation just now, but now Lance actually said it was an experimental movie? This will have a subversive change to the distribution department's strategy at the end of the year.

James wanted to express his opinions further, but he could clearly feel that Lance seemed to be disturbed and his attention was not very focused at the moment. They still have a lot of time to discuss about work, so there is no need to hurry up. So James closed his mouth consciously, "Oh, so that's it." He nodded, indicating that he understood, and then turned to look at Theo, "By the way, I heard that the company has another work in the filming, but there has been no movement recently."

James is talking about the "Queen" project.

The "Queen" started the preliminary preparations before "Fruit Hard Candy", but now the post-production of "Fruit Hard Candy" is about to be completed, but the "Queen" still has not started shooting, which really surprised many people.

In fact, it is mainly because Lance has a clear goal, targeting Helen Mirren as the heroine and Stephen Fres as the director. Both candidates are currently reading the script. They must read the script before they are willing to make a decision. Three weeks have passed between coming and going. Three weeks are nothing for the film whose preparation cycle is calculated over the years. It was just that they did not expect that "fruit hard candy" could be completed so quickly.

However, Lance personally took over and they had found the executive producer, which was Scott Ruddin Lance, who had dealt with Lance because of "Raymond Snitch's unfortunate adventure", but Scott was responsible for the details of the execution and the crew's work. Therefore, the production of "Queen" is still on the right track.

Theo also noticed Lance's little distraction just now and quietly took over the topic, "Yes, Scott Rudin took over the work of executive producer and is following up now..."

The topic shifted between Theo and James. Lance's thoughts temporarily relaxed and picked up his phone again. He just scanned it and didn't look carefully. This message was sent by the musician of "Fruit Hard Candy". So far, the musicians have never been fixed in the five works produced by Lance so far. It is mainly because the five works are of different styles, so it is difficult to find a fixed all-round partner.

Previously, Lance sent a list of rock music to the musician for reference. He did not want too many soundtracks of "Fruit Hard Candy" to easily overshadow the main points, but he hoped that in some special occasions, he could create a dark atmosphere similar to rock and Punk, highlighting the black style of the movie. The text message sent by the musician just now was about this music list.

What really made Lance distracted was naturally not this text message, but the first text message I sent before. In fact, after seeing the first text message, Lance was a little distracted, but he quickly calmed down and devoted himself to work again. However, Lance didn't say much, not only because he gave James room to play, but also because he always suddenly had a second and a half of distracted moments.

Just now, the musician's text message was sent, which made Lance see the first text message again. He felt inexplicably irritable and was now absent-minded. This emotion was so sudden that Lance caught him off guard.

I reopened the first text message, and the amount of information was not large. "I decided to attend the graduation prom. Even if I don't have a dance partner, I wish me good luck!" Lance read such a short sentence several times, and the thoughts in his mind were a little complicated for a moment.

This is a text message from Emma. If he remembers correctly, the prom will be tonight.

After all, she decided to attend the dance party, even if it was just a person? He couldn't understand, shouldn't the dance party be held together? Of course, there were still people who would attend it alone, but seeing that everyone had their own dance partner, what should she do? Should she stand by and blow a balloon? The high school prom is a date for couples without alcohol, no carnival, no drugs. For those high school students, showing off their dance partner is the only purpose. As for the dance king and the dance queen... it is just a boring popularity vote. If there is no dance partner, the boredom of the prom is even greater than the kindergarten sports meeting.

But why did Emma not have a dance partner? She should be very popular in school. She has a cheerful personality, sweet appearance, lively and enthusiastic, and generous. It is an honor for any boy to attend a graduation party with her. Shouldn't everyone flock to invite her? So, why did she have a dance partner? Is it impossible to find it, or...

Lance refused to continue thinking, and his thoughts came to an abrupt end.

It was a foolish decision for her to attend the dance alone. He knew what the high school students would say. They always called the guys who attended the dance alone "losers", and then laughed, teased and mocked these people with all their hearts, as if they were insiders in the world, but for God's sake, they just had a dance partner! But what could she do? This is high school, she could not do anything except stand besides awkwardly and bored, drinking soda without alcohol.

Good luck to her? Even if you don't have to attend, you can imagine how bad the dance will be. It's a disaster.

Putting his phone back on the desktop, Lance retracted his attention again, as if he had first seen the text. He would not attend the boring prom, and he had no intention of attending from the beginning, and now he is the same.

"Don't worry about the progress of the production of the 'Queen'," Lance joined James and Theo. "I just called Scott yesterday. He is now in London. Helen has agreed to star in it. Now he is finalizing the actors who are important supporting roles. If nothing unexpected happens, filming will start around September or October. However, Scott and I hope that the film can be held at the film festival, promote it in this way and expand its influence..."

James' attention returned to Lance again, as if nothing had happened just now, and naturally returned to the rhythm of the conversation.

"Emma? Emma!" Beth Hoyt's voice woke Emma from her thoughts, and her eyes were retracted from her phone - there was no text message, forty minutes passed, and there was still no response.

She tried to convince herself that maybe he was working, and she knew very clearly that it was not uncommon for him to not look at his phone for hours at work. But even if he saw the text message, what was she expecting? To be precise, this was normal, isn't it? She had made a decision to attend the dance without a dance partner, so she should not hold any hope, but attend the last night of her student life with ease. After that, she did not plan to continue her studies in college, and she would devote herself to her acting career, so this was her final farewell to her student days, and whether she had a dance partner or not, she should enjoy it.

Thinking of this, Emma took a deep breath and looked up at Beth. This was her friend at school, either an actor or an ordinary big girl. "I'm fine, I'm fine!" Emma said repeatedly, trying to calm the anxious Beth.

"No, you're not good!" Beth jumped anxiously, "Mia? Are you not going to help me persuade her?"

Mia Lovett, who was sitting on the bed, looked up and paused for a moment, "Emma, ​​have you really thought about it? Attend the dance alone? Do you know what those guys will say, they are just a group of brainless goldfish."

Emma was amused by this image metaphor and laughed, "Like you said, why should I care about them? Tonight is my farewell, so I will enjoy it! Even if there is no dance partner."

"Emma!" Beth stomped his feet in annoyance, obviously very depressed by Emma's stubbornness.

"Well, let's dress you up well! Then let those boys' eyes fall out!" Mia walked down, rolled up her sleeves, and looked like she was ready to have a big fight.

"Mia!" Beth couldn't believe that the last ally "betrayed" him!

Emma looked at the phone on the table again, took a deep breath, and hugged Beth, "Sweetheart, do you want me to attend the dance in jeans?".

"God! No, absolutely not!" Beth immediately started yelling, and then ran to Emma's closet, "Where is your dance dress?" Emma and Mia exchanged glances, and both smiled.
Chapter completed!
