"It's just a cup of afternoon tea, the office door of Chaos Film will always be open for you." Lance's relaxed jokes showed his relaxed mentality.

Barry immediately heard the voice of Lance: If afternoon tea is coming, he will come to the door, not Lance will come here, and this detail can be felt by Lance's strength and initiative. However, Barry didn't care, but said with a smile, "This is good news, so do I have this honor to invite you to have afternoon tea the day after tomorrow?"

Lance sniffed something from Barry's words and said half-jokingly, "It's just me and you?"

"Haha, of course not." Barry laughed heartily, "Aziva will join us, as well as Neil H Moretz and Richard Mattson. Of course, there will be a lady joining at that time. Dana Goldberg has always been looking forward to meeting you."

Lans suddenly realized.

Dana's name Lance once heard from Tom Cruise. This is a new female producer in Hollywood with a strong background. She has a strong relationship with James Cameron, J.J. Abrams, David Heyman, Brad Pitt, Danny Wallace and other upper-class people in the circle. Last year, she produced her first work, "Mobile Killer", and successfully invited Angelina Jolie and Ethan**** to join. She is now producing two works, "Happy Big Foot" and "Unt-Touched Lovers". She is also negotiating with Harrison Ford about the possibility of a work collaboration.

Let’s think of several other names. Neil is the producer of the American drama “Prison Break” and the series “Degree and Passion”, and Richard is the original author of “I am Legend”. Then the answer is about to come up with a further interview with “I am Legend”.

"Wow, so lively." Lance sighed, and Barry took the conversation, "If you want, you can also bring your friends here. I heard that you have been very close to Scarlett in recent times."

This is about Scarlett Johnson. Recently, when she was promoting "Escape from Clones", Scarlett mentioned the topic of Lance when she appeared in a talk show, "He is a very attractive man, isn't he?" She answered this way, which also caused a new round of speculation in the media.

"As a female companion or a partner?" Lance did not deny it, but joked, which was implied that "I am a legend" wanted to let Scarlett play?

"I am a legend" is almost a one-man show for the male protagonist alone, but in the second half there are two survivors, one woman and one child. That woman has quite a lot of scenes, especially after Lance adapted the script, the proportion of fighting zombies increased, and the female character will also bear more weight by then.

Barry, the old fox, was very nervous, "So, the rumors outside are true." Lance's remarks were focused on "what role can be attended" rather than "whether to attend?" Barry keenly noticed the difference and immediately grasped the key information.

"You know the authenticity of the rumors in the circle." Lance was not easily fooled, and he avoided the topic with just a few tricks. "Have you read the script framework? I thought it would take at least a few days." Lance pulled the topic back to "I am a legend."

The script framework was submitted to Warner Bros. Considering that Aziva is now creating a script of "I am a legend", Lance's framework will inevitably cause a huge conflict with Aziva, so Warner Bros. needs to reexamine the quality of the two scripts, then make internal decisions, and invite Lance and Aziva to interview together. This process will take at least a few days, and it is not surprising that it will take more than a week. Lance never expected that he would receive a reply that afternoon.

"You should know that we're very tight at the moment," Barry said meaningfully. Although he didn't point it out, the subtext was to accuse Lance of whom had been busy with the "oo7" project. After the completion of the "Fruit Hard Candy", Lance delayed Warner Bros. three times in a month. Barry is now saying that because of Lance, their preparations were seriously lagging behind. "Originally, we hoped that the first version of the script could be released before October. After discussion and revision, the second version would be released in November, and then the director would be determined before the New Year. But now, it is obvious that the plan must be adjusted."

Barry didn't make a clear accusation, but he was running Lance inside and out, but Lance didn't buy it at all. "This plan is indeed compact. I remember a month ago, the script hadn't even found a suitable screenwriter."

Generally speaking, it takes at least two to three months to create an excellent script. Perhaps some scripts can be created within a week when they are inspiring, but it is a rare situation after all, and more are original scripts, otherwise they are popcorn stories without quality assurance. In-depth adapted scripts like "I am a Legend" are difficult to complete within a month.

Lance's mockery did not make Barry retreat, but said with a dignified expression, "It's true. In fact, we officially started the project since May, but now four months have passed, we haven't even seen the script, which has gradually become a burden." Just look at the preparation process for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel. Long standby also requires investment, "So, when you receive your script framework, everyone is excited."

"I don't think Aziva will agree with you." The framework of Lance's script can be said to have completely overturned Aziva's conception and made the story present a completely different look.

"No, no." Barry chuckled and denied repeatedly, "On the contrary, Aziva looks forward to talking to you face to face and sharing the views of the two of you. Maybe by then, you two can create a lot of sparks, and before October ends, we can see the first version of the script."

Time is money, so it is no surprise that Warner Bros. received the script framework in the morning and contacted Lance in the afternoon. From the side, it can be seen that Warner Bros.'s attitude towards the cooperation of "I am a legend". After Barry received the script framework, he did not play tricks to suck Lans' appetite, but called him to contact him as soon as possible, which is a good sign for the cooperation between the two parties.

This also seemed to confirm Lance's conjecture: Warner Bros. does not want to miss digging; "I think this is indeed a good start." Lance said with a chuckling, "Okay, then I will start looking forward to the afternoon tea the day after tomorrow. The specific time?"

"Five pm." Barry's answer was not delayed. "If time is enough, we can have a deeper conversation, maybe some other major projects." After leaving a meaningful sentence, Barry hung up the phone.

Lance held the receiver and savored it carefully, "other big projects", what does this mean? Does it refer to the potential possibility of the DC universe, or other projects of Warner Bros. The last time Cole brought over the scripts, there were also Warner Bros. works.

But no matter what it means, it is a positive signal. At least it means that the two sides are currently happy and smoothly in this cooperation process.

Considering the history of cooperation between Warner Bros. and Diorama, considering the unpleasant negotiation process of the last "Return of People" project, considering that Lance rejected Warner Bros. three times due to the "Fruit Hard Candy" and "OO7" projects... the current progress is even more commendable.

Previously, Lance was considering whether to give in a little bit during the negotiation process of "I am a legend", not only to seek cooperation in the future DC universe, but also to seek a balance between cooperation between the two parties - after all, Warner Bros. is the most powerful among the six major film companies at present, and Chaos Pictures still does not have the capital to compete with each other even if it is fast. Now it seems that this idea is even more necessary.

After temporarily putting the idea down, Lance called Percy, "At 2 pm the day after tomorrow, there was a meeting at Warner Brothers to talk about the script of 'I am a legend', you can record it." Percy is Lance's assistant and needs to record all of Lance's itineraries and then organize and plan, just like the meeting itinerary just now.

Percy responded, and then Lance hung up and rethinked the script of "I am a legend."

A little while later, the knock on the door came again, "Come in." Lance raised his head and saw Percy walk in, "What's wrong?"

"Are you sure it's the day after tomorrow?" Percy's opening remark made Lance stunned. "The day after tomorrow is the 18th, Sunday." Percy looked at the doubts in Lance's eyes and could only continue to remind, "New York, Gao Wen's game."

Lans choked, "Is it this Sunday?" But without answering, he realized himself, and he actually forgot! The Green Bay Packers' match against the New York Giants was held on Sunday, this Sunday.

In fact, for this weekend, he bought a ticket for Saturday morning and flew to New York early to enjoy a short vacation. This is why Lance sent the script framework to Warner Bros. On the one hand, he could no longer delay time. Warner Bros.'s patience was approaching the limit, which can be seen from today's phone call; on the other hand, he gave Warner Bros. enough time to read the script framework, and after returning to the weekend, both parties could sit down and have an interview.

But unexpectedly, Warner Bros.'s positive response disrupted the plan. Barry's proactive and talked happily just now made Lance ignore this detail.

"Do I need to confirm the time with Warner Bros.?" Percy also realized the tricky things and asked.

Lance nodded, and then Percy turned around and left the office. Lance sat on the chair, his left thumb couldn't help but start rubbing his index finger again, and the thoughts in his head swarmed for a moment.8
