Hollywood has never lacked thorns, geniuses, and even more so on.

Mel Gibson became famous at a young age and became a hit with the "Crazy Max" series. Then he became a top superstar with the "Deadly Weapon" series. After changing to work as a director, he successfully won two Oscars, Best Director and Best Picture. It was incredible.

After the end of the filming of "Brave Heart", Mel began to prepare for the filming of "The Passion of Jesus", but this project was rejected by the entire Hollywood. Senior executives of major film companies have dissuaded Mel from giving up the project, and even small and medium-sized film companies dare not invest, because everyone knew that this movie would cause a strong backlash from the Jews, and even unimaginable chain negative effects, which is not good news for Hollywood.

But Mel still insisted on his own. Idol Film (IS), an independent film company that had been established for less than a year, invested 30 million yuan to complete the shooting. After the movie was released, it was a big hit, with a box office of 370 million yuan in North America, creating a record of film that cannot be reached by R-rated movies, and it was not broken until ten years later. But at the same time, this work also became a big trouble that everyone avoided. Xinshi Film became the only company willing to perform the work. Although Xinshi Film made a big profit from this work, after that, it only produced one work, and then... it was acquired by Chaos Film. In the last life, Xinshi Film also declared bankruptcy in 2O8.

Someone once said that more than two-thirds of the top leaders in Hollywood are Jews, half of the top people on Wall Street are Jews, and even half of the American public opinion mouthpieces are in the hands of Jews. This is not an exaggeration.

When the "Crucifix of Jesus" accused the Jews of being the real murderer of Jesus, it attracted strong protests from Jews around the world and pushed the gap and debate between Judaism and Christianity to the peak of public opinion. The film achieved extremely outstanding box office results with the support of Christians, which added fuel to the fire. Later, after being drunk, Mel cursed the Jews, and this incident completely broke down.

After "The Passion of Jesus", except for the "Revelation" that had been put into production before the movie was released, Mel could not even receive a work in the next ten years, and even if he had excellent projects, he could not find any investment targets. Even if he left the director position and returned to the actor's battlefield, he was still unpopular and could only play some small roles in independent movies that were not painful.

This is Hollywood, this is reality, no one is irreplaceable. Even if you stand at the peak and have a glory, you have to repay it with your life if you miss it. Until Lance was reborn, Mel's artist career was still stagnant, as if it had almost disappeared from people's sight. Even if his friendship starred in "Superior Squad 3", no one mentioned him.

So, Warner Bros. is now hoping to make Lance "humble".

Lance once worked with 20th Century Fox as the day after tomorrow, and also worked with Paramount as the "pirates of the Caribbean" who had not reached a cooperation, "people back" and "people return". Lance clearly knew how long it took for a movie to be prepared to release. In these processes, the strength of large companies can be said to be everywhere. Even the "pirates of the knife" that cooperated smoothly gave Lance a headache because of the selection of actors, let alone the "pirates of the day after tomorrow". If large film companies continue to insist on being strong, then Lance's work will be extremely difficult.

The interview time is simply a trivial detail. Perhaps Barry didn't want to scheming at all, he just refused to compromise. It can be imagined that the "I am Legend" project will encounter more problems in the future, especially considering the potential possibility of the DC Universe, Warner Bros. needs to take more initiative. They even made the news that "Fruit Hard Candy" may appear on the 6th New York Film Festival, which shows that they are fully prepared. So, does this mean that the more difficulties the "I am Legend" makes, the greater the possibility of cooperation in the DC Universe. As long as Lance overcomes these difficulties, Chaos Film will cooperate with Warner Bros.?

This equation is a bit far-fetched, but not impossible.

Lance can continue to perform strongly, and he can even reject the "I am a Legend" project and focus on the battle of the Marvel Universe, but Lance knows that this is Hollywood, and things are never as simple and direct as one plus one equals two. Even Michael Esner, who has been in charge of Disney for twenty years, must abide by industry rules and cannot do whatever he wants.

Therefore, he must make compromises and make choices to maintain balance. How to correctly grasp the exchange of interests and how to correctly grasp strength and compromise is a very profound science.

"You mean, I can't change the interview time." The smile on the corner of Lance's mouth was helpless and a little playful. He knew that Barry was a difficult opponent, but he didn't expect the confrontation between the two sides to come so soon. However, when he thought about the "City of Sin" screening, he refused Barry without hesitation in the short confrontation and caught Barry off guard. Then it is no surprise that Barry's decision is now.

Dorothy pondered for a moment, "It's not that you can't, but it depends on whether you want it." If Lance really has conflicts during schedules, he must change the interview time. This is naturally no problem. After all, this is not the core focus of the competition for interests, but this means that subsequent negotiations may face more obstacles.

Lance rubbed his temples, and it turns out that dealing with a big company is a troublesome, calculating, and constantly calculating. This is also the reason why he doesn't like managing the company. If you leave all these conspiracies to Ian and Theo, things will be much easier. "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Lance's mood was a little confused. He knew that with the success of his career, life became more and more complicated, and often it was involuntary. On the surface, those who stood at the top seemed to have more freedom, but the consequences after they got rid of the shackles were even more serious. This was inevitable. Even so, the mood was still indescribable.

Then, Lance re-dialed a number, and soon the familiar voice came, "I bet that I can get at least three touchdowns this weekend and kill your wide receiver group in seconds!" Gao Wen's cheerful voice buzzed like thunder, and then he heard the laughter of a group of people around him, "Hey, Lance, Ian said you are the plane tomorrow morning. You won't be here tonight just to surprise me, right?"

"Knock." Lance imitated the sound of knocking on the door, which made Gao Wen laugh, "Gao Wen, I called because there was a temporary meeting this weekend. Due to my mistake, the schedule conflicts. So, I can't go to New York." The words were so difficult, but Lance did not want to deceive Gao Wen. There shouldn't be such a gap between them. To be honest, this is the best respect.

"God, you shameless liar!" Gao Wen did not hide his emotions and said cursingly, "I just made a bet with my teammates, because you were there, I would definitely be a great power. Now it seems that it is not possible... Hey, guys, I apologize, I will take back the bet I just now!" Gao Wen shouted to his teammates, which caused a lot of scolding, which made Gao Wen laugh, and then said to his phone again, "Tell you, you won't just forget it, right?"

Listening to Gao Wen's cheerful voice, Lance's mouth showed a helpless smile, "Tell me, I have no problem with any request."

"Including running on Hollywood Avenue at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night?" Gao Wen said loudly.

Lance rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Yes, including running on Hollywood Avenue at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night."

"Haha, you're in trouble now." Gao Wen seemed proud, "But I'm not as unscrupulous as you. I'm holding a birthday party for me this year, how about it? You celebrate your birthday with me, not me celebrate your birthday with you." Gao Wen's voice was full of seriousness, "I mean, a real party, countless beauties, five-layer big cakes, all night long, and it's best to have a private jet to Las Vegas at midnight!"

After being stunned, Lance couldn't help laughing, "No problem. Of course, no problem."

"Haha, then that's it!" Gao Wen's voice was eager to try, full of excitement.

But Lance felt a little bit sour on his nose. They always tolerate themselves like this. They have been like this since childhood. As long as they make requests, they will accept them unconditionally, but he has never really listened to their requests. "Sorry, Gao Wen. I know, I promised you before, to go to the scene to watch your game this year, but..."

Gao Wen could hear the emotional fluctuations in Lance's words, and his excitement slowly settled down, "I am indeed disappointed that you can't be there, I won't deny it. But, I know that this is not what you want, right? Things always happen. Remember? When I started playing rugby in high school, in that final, Theo and Ian promised me that they would definitely come, but they were both absent, and you were the only one sitting in the stands. That time, I was really angry, and I wanted to give them a fist and teach them a lesson. But..."

But after they returned home, they found that Frank had stolen all the living expenses that Theo had saved for three months - that was their savings for the winter, and all the living expenses became a pile of /Hai/Low/In, Frank and Fiona were lying on the living room floor in a mess, naked and drowsy, as if they had just experienced a storm/cloud/storm.

In order to regain living expenses, Theo and Ian had to take the remaining pile of Hai/Law/ because they went back to find the drug dealer, so they missed Gao Wen's game.

Lance chuckled, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice, and said half-jokingly, "I need to meet this temporary meeting, and it is no different from a drug dealer."

"So, you need to be careful." Gao Wen also laughed, "Also, remember my party."
