Looking through these scripts, Lance's mood couldn't help but brighten up. It really felt absurd and unruly feeling, which made people laugh.

It’s not because the number of scripts is really beyond imagination; it’s because the scripts are nonsensical, which makes people completely confused. This reminds Lance of the Matthew effect, the stronger the strong, the weaker the weaker.

This situation is presented in Hollywood. It seems that all the works are flocking to the top few actors and directors, so that some actors cannot take on the roles and can be seen everywhere throughout the year, but some actors cannot get the roles at all and have to take on bad movies for their livelihood.

Now Lance saw this.

So far, Lance's four works are all plot movies, which involve the most crime and thriller, and in fact, the same is true for "Fruit Hard Candy". Not to mention that as an actor, he has very little experience and has almost no reference value, but now scripts of various themes have been sent to him, just like... it's like he can turn stones into gold, turn decay and magical.

The villain of "Da Vinci Code" is barely understandable, but what about the two comedy movies, "Museum Wonderful Night" and "Surprising Journey"? Both movies invited him to be the director, but the problem is that Lance never showed the talent of comedy movies. In his previous four works, the comedy elements are almost negligible - there is not much black humor of "killing with a knife". What's even more ridiculous is that "Museum Wonderful Night" actually invited him to work together to write the script.

Any fan who loves movies should know that comedy scripts are actually the most difficult to write, and the difficulty is even greater than that of the plot works. Now it is not the era when the movie just started. Simple and rough body funny is enough to satisfy the audience. Now, the comedy market with more popular lines is more powerful, and the difficulty of Bo Jun's smile has risen sharply. Therefore, the American comedy market is gradually occupied by the "shit, pee, fart" style, and won the audience's love with vulgar but effective means such as "yellow", "violent", and "dirty"; while the European region led by the United Kingdom, France, and Germany is moving further and further on the road of cold humor in black comedy.

Writing an excellent comedy script requires not only basic skills and knowledge to keep lines, but also an innate sense of humor.

Lance never thought he was capable of making an excellent comedy movie, and the challenge was too difficult. At least not at this stage.

Even Lance himself did not have confidence, where did the confidence emerge from Twentieth Century Fox? These two comedy scripts were from Twentieth Century Fox. Such a situation really makes people laugh and cry. Lance's original fatigue gradually disappeared, and he became very interested - he was very curious about what height can the Matthew effect in Hollywood reach?

In addition, Twentieth Century Fox also submitted two very interesting projects, one is "Die Hard 4" and the other is "Fantastic Four 2".

It has been a full decade since "Die Hard 3". Now 20th Century Fox has moved out this classic series again. On the one hand, because there are fewer and fewer excellent original scripts, many film companies have begun to explore the surplus value of the old scripts and the old series, so there are countless remakes of old works and the continuation of the old series; on the other hand, it is because Bruce Willis began to return to spring thanks to the great success of "City of Sin". As the pioneering work of Bruce as a first-line action star, the "Die Hard" series has won him a large number of fans.

But in Lance's opinion, this is really a bad idea. Because the biggest reason for the success of the "Die Hard" series is the simplicity and courage of the civilian heroes, but the laws of the sequel movies doom the work pattern to become larger and larger, which will inevitably lose the "Civilian" setting and turn the "Die Hard" series into a spy war movie that makes money.

It’s right to make money, but "Die Hard" has lost its own characteristics. Bruce does not have Tom Cruise’s appeal and does not have the characteristics of "Mission Impossible"; the movie is not as quick as Matt Damon, and there is no hope to catch up with "Spy Shadows". The setting of the male protagonist is not as good as James Bond's charm, and the level of the "007" series is also a luxury... So? This also makes the series of movies destined to be mediocre and have no characteristics.

This was the case in my previous life. "Die Hard" filmed the fourth and fifth parts. The journey of making money was quite smooth, but it was criticized.

As for "Fantastic Four 2", this is perhaps the most reliable project at present. The comic adaptation, the previous work has achieved great success, the starring roles of youth first, and the attributes of commercial movies... It seems that everything is in line with the film company's expectations for Reims.

However, this sequel is a disaster, and the terrible script makes people feel completely powerless to complain. Unless the script is completely overturned and started writing again, there is no need to take on the film. There is nothing but self-destruction of reputation - and the movie is losing money.

In addition, such terrible works as "Soul Chariot", "Shocking in the Rear Window", "Note: I Love You", "Love Holiday", and "Fast and Furious 3", have also appeared, including love, horror, supernatural, action, family and other types of works, covering a wide range of areas, which is really unimaginable.

Isn't this a very strange phenomenon? It seems that the glory of the past four works has made major film companies feel infinite confidence, and they all regard Lance as the real savior, believing that any work can bring new vitality to his hands, and then checks hit like a rainstorm, until Lance is dizzy.

No wonder people always say that Vanity Fair is easy to make people lose.

Seeing so many scripts, it surged in and felt the trust and support of major film companies. It seemed that everyone was counting on him alone, the supreme power of God, turning hands to the clouds and rain. It seemed that just by nodding his head, he could change the future of the entire crew, change the future of the entire project, and even change the future of actors, producers, agents, and assistants, directly at the peak of power!

A strong sense of existence, supreme power, and ubiquitous light make it difficult to keep a normal mind. This is an extremely difficult thing.

What's more, these works seem to have unlimited potential - after all, when film companies prepare for every project, they do not want to lose money, but to make money, so they naturally look full of confidence. Among them are old sequels like "Die Hard" that have lasted for many years, as well as popular series of works such as "Fantastic Four", and as well as fantastic script ideas like "Museum Wonderful Night", and seem to be a sure thing to make a profit. It is not an easy task to say no to say anything.

If Lance was not reborn, he knew clearly how ridiculous and bad the future achievements of these works would be, so he also knew clearly that the avalanche ending that would come after the failure of the works; if Lance did not experience the ups and downs of the storm, he knew clearly that the pursuit of these large companies was not because of his personal charm, nor because of his stable friendship, but because of his deep love, but because of his money-making tools; if Lance did not understand the way to choose, although it was difficult, he had to persist, otherwise he would only be dragged down by his greed and ambition... Then, perhaps Lance would be lost at this time.

In fact, among these works, there are many excellent works.

For example, Will Smith's "When Happiness Comes Knocks the Door", a work that has both box office and reputation. It not only earned 160 million North American box office, but also won Will's nomination for the Oscar for the best actor.

For example, the "Dream Chasing Girl" who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, the crew invited big names such as Beyoncé, Jamie Fox, Eddie Murphy to join, and achieved a box office of 100 million US dollars, and was the biggest hit in the awards season that year.

For example, "Spy Shadows 3", this series of works has won numerous praises in the first two episodes, and is even hailed as opening a new chapter in spy movies. Even ten years later, it is still a classic work in this type of movie. The third part achieved an outstanding box office of 220 million in North America, bringing the perfect end to the trilogy. It is precisely because the series works were too successful that not long after, even if Matt resigned, the fourth sequel was still on the agenda.

The most surprising thing is definitely "Spider-Man 3". Everyone knows that the first two works directed by Sam Remy have completely changed the pattern of the box office market in North America. Although the second one is a little disappointing and the box office performance is lower than expected, this is still the most appealing series in Hollywood. The third one still won a box office of 300 million in North America, which has also become the pioneering work of the new era of comic adaptation movies.

In addition, the two scripts "Atonement" and "Michael Clayton" are even more eye-catching. The former's four-and-a-half-minute long shots are as shocking as epic; the latter's ridicule of the American judicial system seems dull but thought-provoking. Both works have won many nominations and even recognition from the Little Golden Man at the Oscars that year. This not only tests the director's control, but also a serious issue for the director's ability to explore.

It is no exaggeration to say that any of these works is worth shooting, and the difficulty of challenges and shooting value exceeds "I am a legend". If Lance gave up "I am a legend" at this time, selected one of the above works, and started preparing again, there would be absolutely no problem, and it may be more helpful to Lance's self-challenge - even "Spy Shadows 3" and "Spider-Man 3" are no exception.

This is what makes Lance most interested. Excellent works emerge in endlessly and are full of opportunities. This is Hollywood. If you miss "I am a legend", there will still be countless legends coming up and you can choose. Opportunities for success are everywhere, but only those who are prepared can seize and fulfill them.
