Lance sat cross-legged on the sofa, put his laptop on his knees, and his hands quickly typing on the keyboard, but then he thought about it and deleted another section. His back slowly leaned towards the back of the chair, and his hands supported his hands on the armrest. His eyes were looking at the computer screen and he fell into deep thoughts, as if he was re-examining his thoughts.

"You know, you don't need to come here every day. I'm now in the recovery period. Haven't you heard from the doctor?" Gao Wen put down the remote control in his hand, looked at Lance, and couldn't help but speak.

Lance raised his head and said disgustedly, "Don't be self-indulgent. I just think the hospital environment is suitable for conceiving scripts. You know, it's quiet, but it won't be unpopular." Half a month has passed since Gowen's operation, and the three brothers have stayed in New York to take care of Gowen. However, Theo and Ian have to work again, so they come here more often, so they are handed over to accompany Gowen during the day to Lance, who is currently writing scripts. Anyway, they are the same.

Lance still hasn't been able to complete the script. It's not easy to adapt the novel "I'm a Legend" well. He has only completed two-thirds of it, and the final part of the zombie final battle is still in the process of sorting out his ideas.

Gao Wen looked at the stubborn Lance and laughed.

"Knock," a polite knock on the door came, "Is Mr. Gowen-Stralo here?" He raised his head and saw a huge flower basket with colorful flowers covering the face of the visitor, but it can be seen from the tender yellow dress that this is a lady.

"Dangdang!" A face appeared from behind the flower basket, a bright smile was hanging on his lips, and the big watery eyes were filled with smiles. The flamboyant youth and vigorous vitality made people look more beautiful than Huahua. It was Emma Stone. "Although you have recovered a long time ago and don't need my blessing, I still need a routine to express my condolences." The playful words with a hint of teasing made Gao Wen laugh out loud.

Then Emma saw Lance sitting next to her. She looked as usual and waved at Lance, "Good morning, I hope I didn't disturb your work." Then she turned to look at Gao Wen, "So, how do you feel now?"

In fact, Emma had long wanted to visit Gao Wen, but Lance refused any kind of visit. It was not until three days ago that Gao Wen's teammates went to the hospital for a visit, and Gao Wen's friends began to visit one after another. Then Emma flew over to New York yesterday.

Lance was a little surprised that Emma appeared because she had never said hello. In the past two weeks, Emma has sent him one or two text messages every day, and he has never replied, but Emma did not mention that she was coming to New York to visit Gao Wen. Now Emma suddenly appeared without warning, as if... it was like jumping out of her phone. For a moment, Lance didn't know what to react, and then he saw Emma turn to look at Gao Wen again, and actually ignored him directly.

Lance was stunned for a moment, and the cell phone in his pocket began to vibrate. He quickly put his laptop aside, and when he answered the phone, he left the ward in a hurry. "This is Lance." He picked up the phone without even looking at the caller ID.

"Sir, this is the 'Men and Health' magazine. We now offer a three-month free trial experience, providing you with important information about men's health..." It was actually an advertising phone call. Lance did not stop and hung up directly. He stood in the middle of the corridor and looked back and forth, but suddenly he didn't know where he was going.

Then the phone started to vibrate again. Lance answered the phone directly and said frankly, "I don't need it!" But before he could hang up the phone, Percy's shocked voice came from the other end, "What don't you need?" Lance raised his hand and touched the end of his eyebrows, realized his disobedience, took a deep breath, and his emotions stabilized again, "It's okay. Call me, is there anything?"

Percy paused for a moment, "There was news from Warner Bros. They decided to adopt Aziva's script."

Lance frowned slightly, looked left and right, then pushed open the door of the stairwell to find a relatively quiet space, responded, "Hmm," and signaled Percy to continue. Although the script was not completed within ten days, Lance still handed the unfinished version of the script to Warner Bros., hoping that they could understand his creative philosophy.

"They didn't say much about the specific situation, you know." Percy's communications were all assistants or secretary, and they knew limited content. "As far as I know, they think your script is too literary and too profound, and it is not suitable for commercial films."

Lance's mouth outlined a sarcastic smile. In fact, the major Hollywood film companies value his ability the most is not his commercial control. After all, he only has a "acquired" film as a reference object in this regard; it is his ability to balance art and business, and both works of "killing people with a knife" and "City of Sin" prove this. Therefore, whether it is "007" or "I am a legend", the reason why he came to him is to hope that he can inject more connotations into commercial films, drive box office with reputation, and create good results.

Now, Warner Bros. thinks his script is too "deep", which is ridiculous. However, such things are inherently different, and even arguments may not necessarily lead to a "correct" result.

"And..." Percy's voice hesitated, and Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, "Percy?"

Percy let out a sigh of relief, "The news from Tom said that Warner Bros. was recently in contact with Will Smith to talk about the show "I am a Legend."

Lance is no longer an unknown person, and the sources of information are very wide. Since Lance is in New York recently, his work has been put on hold for the time being, Cole and Tom did not disturb Lance, but told Percy the news. After Lance asked, Percy would measure whether to inform Lance.

There is a detail that shows the problem. As the agent, Cole did not hear any news. If it weren't for Tom and Lance's close personal relationship, then the news that Warner Bros. was in contact with Will might have continued to be concealed, which shows that Warner Bros.'s caution.

When Warner Bros. talked about cooperation with Lance, "I am a Legend" was directed by Lance, screenwriter, producer and male lead. This is also an important reason why Lance conjectured that "this work is a pathfinder for cooperation between DC Universe". Warner Bros. obviously wanted to truly test Lance's control ability so that the cooperation discussion of DC Universe could be launched.

But now, first with the script and then with the actors, Warner Bros. is "removing" Lance's power step by step. Even if things are not a sure thing, Lance will have to fight Barry next, but this sign is enough to illustrate many problems. Especially if you skip Lance, the producer, and directly contact Will. Even if Lance is not an actor, as a producer and director, he needs to have an absolute say in the male lead, and "I am a legend" is a work that relies on the male lead to support the entire film.

This does not bode well.

Does this mean that Warner Bros. is cutting off cooperation in the DC Universe? But why? Suddenly, Lance remembered Dorothy's previous guess: they wanted to teach him a lesson, a hard lesson, just like Mel Gibson.

Hollywood is indeed an environment where interests are paramount, but as the six major film companies that control Hollywood, the last thing they want is to "lose control". A weapon that can create enough interests but is not controlled by them, a money cow that can use them is not controlled by them, and an important genius who can change the Hollywood landscape is completely out of control. So what will they do?

If it is decided by Lance, since he cannot cooperate or use it, he would rather destroy it. This is not a difficult choice.

Taking a deep breath, Lance restrained all his thoughts. He could not think randomly now. After all, these things were just his guess. He had to collect more information and grasp enough situations. He was distracted before the truth was understood. Then he was very likely to ruin a good game of chess by himself, so he would not be impulsive and stupid.

"Does Tom like his engagement gift?" Lance calmed down again and asked with a smile.

Tom fell in love with Katie Holmes in April this year, and Katie accepted Tom's proposal at the Eiffel Tower. Reims gave a bottle of fine wine as an engagement gift.

"Of course, their dinner was bottled for the day," Percy replied. "He said he would contact you in person later, hoping to meet and have time in New York for dinner."

"I understand." Lance nodded slightly. If Warner Brothers really cheated behind their backs, then Tom's information would be even more valuable. He needed to give another big gift. After hanging up the phone, Lance stood there and reorganized his thoughts. After thinking about it, he refused to sit and wait for death, but decided to take the initiative, so he called Barry's mobile phone number.

If he was in Los Angeles at this time, he would definitely have a face-to-face conversation. An old fox like Barry would definitely be fine during the interview, but at least he could look into Barry's eyes and would not give Barry a chance to escape. However, now he doesn't have many choices, and the phone is the most direct means, which is much more direct than the communication between assistants and emails.

The ringtone was connected after just a while, and Barry's voice immediately came over, "Hey, I was thinking about calling you." The voice was filled with surprise.

Lance smiled and said lightly, "Ha, it seems that we still have a good understanding. I called to tell you a good news, my script is completed!" Take the initiative.
Chapter completed!
