Lance wanted to make Hollywood the Hollywood he wanted, truly take absolute power in his hands, and act as he wanted. To achieve this goal, it was destined to be a thorny road. Countless predecessors tried to reach such a height, but they all failed one after another. From MGM to New Line Film, from DreamWorks to Lionsgate Film, one by one, Warriors continued one after another, but Hollywood still firmly controlled Wall Street and no one could escape. If Chaos Film wanted to create a miracle, it had to take a path of its own.

As a human being, Lance tried to firmly grasp his destiny in his own hands. While cooperating with large companies, cooperation with Sony Pictures and Warner Bros., this is the case; while enhancing his own strength, the production of works such as "Fruit Hard Candy" and "Queen" is in full swing, and the blacklist, distribution department and trailer soundtrack department are booming; while carrying out original accumulation for future planning, Ian's work is crucial, and the development of the comics field is the most important strategic center, and it will become the capital for Chaos Pictures to truly be among the six major films. This is the plan formulated by Lance for Chaos Pictures.

Warner Brothers' cooperation is not only "I am a legend", but also involves the DC universe, which can definitely be said to be a move that affects the whole body.

Therefore, Lance clearly knew what consequences would bring about his refusal, especially his repeated disputes with Warner Bros., who successively rejected "Superman Return" and "I am a Legend". This not only meant rejecting Warner Bros., but also meant offending the interests represented by Warner Bros.

Why did Warner Bros. want to give Lance a shocking education? Although Barry can't be friends with Lance, will he really teach Lance a lesson for personal grudges? Maybe, maybe not, but in the face of a potential 100 million or even a billion interests, he can be sure that he won't. In the final analysis, it is not Barry Mayer, nor Warner Brothers, but the six major Hollywood film companies.

In addition, there may be a struggle between the forces between the east and west.

Objectively speaking, Lance is not a big whale, but just a small shrimp. This is a fact. It seems that it is not worthy of Warner Brothers' such a big fight. But it is precisely because he is a small shrimp that he will inevitably be involved in this struggle of interests, whether it is the interests of large Hollywood film companies or the interests of the east and west sides of the Taiwan Strait. He has no choice but to make his position. People who are independent cannot reach the end in modern society.

But now Lance is resisting entering this struggle of interests, and even trying to use his own power to change this struggle of interests, which is simply overestimating one's ability. Naturally, they would not want to see such an alien, which is not a good thing. Everyone knows that rebellion is an infectious disease, and once there is the first one, there will inevitably be a second one.

What's more, Lance's little shrimp has evolved into a big fish, and its power is growing little by little.

Rejecting Warner Brothers is actually equivalent to frustrating the interest groups they represent again. Of course, without one Lance, they still have countless choices, and the "I am a legend" project will not be affected at all; but the existence of a thorn like Lance is like a thorn in the throat. What they need most is another Mel Gibson. They can ban one Mel, and it is naturally no problem to deal with a Lance.

However, Lance did not offend Jews like Mel, so it is impossible for the interest groups to be a solid piece of the matter. Moreover, Lance did not fight alone in the confrontation between the east and west sides of the Taiwan Strait, and he would definitely find a living space. But there is no doubt that it is enough for Chaos Pictures to have a drink if only the interest groups led by Warner Brothers are obstructed at will. Just think about the experience of Lance on Broadway in the last life.

Lance is a smart man who knows clearly the chain effects that his decisions may have, but he also knows clearly that some things can be sacrificed, while others cannot.

In Barry's eyes, Gao Wen's injury was just a small bump in life and could not affect the overall situation at all. Or, those who achieve great things must learn to be careless. What's more, Lance has been stranded in New York for half a month, leaving New York and going to Los Angeles to attend the meeting, which is almost a decision without hesitation.

But Lance knew that this was not a "small" decision.

The reason why Chaos Pictures was founded was to win more freedom and gain more initiative, but how much of this original intention is left now? In the whirlpool of interest in Hollywood, the fame and fortune fair, what are they fighting for and what are they moving forward for? Just half a month ago, he made the so-called correct choice, but the price was unforgettable regret. Just a little bit, just a little bit, this "regret" will never be saved; so, this time he will not repeat the same mistake.

Lance hangs up the phone and relaxes. He can see that what is paved in front of him is a thorny road. The lotus fire in hell is burning. It seems that traveling through the past is an impossible task, but the pace under his feet is becoming more and more stable and more powerful. Even if the end is a cliff, even if they cannot reach the end at all, he will not regret it.

Before she arrived at the door of the ward, she could vaguely hear a burst of hearty laughter. Her steps gradually slowed down and finally stopped at the door. Emma sat at the end of the bed, pulling her mouth with her hands, her whole face twisted together, her eyes bulged out, as if she would fall off at any time, her tongue drooped, and even some saliva drooped down her mouth. That look really...too ugly.

Gao Wen was not showing any weakness. He turned his hands back, his thumb inserted into his nostrils, his eyes gathered on both sides of his nose, and his cross-eyes almost made people unable to help him. His mouth drooped desperately, stretching his entire cheeks, looking like a swelling body that had been soaked in water for many days. It was so terrible.

But compared to Emma, ​​Gao Wen was obviously one level away from the paragraph. Finally, his mouth began to cramp, and he couldn't help but give up, and then he said in a slight manner, "You... you cheat!" That made Emma laugh again, and his voice was like a sand hammer falling into a hamster cage. Gao Wen said something and began to grin and scream in pain. It was probably involving the wound that had not been completely healed. "I am a patient, you should reduce the difficulty."

Emma raised her right hand and shook her fingers, looking like a little adult, "You won't say the next sentence, I'm a woman, so I have to reduce the difficulty, right?" The unyielding look made Gao Wen shake his head depressedly, and grind his teeth fiercely, "Okay, I admit defeat. Next, we will go to the second round, and I will use my trump card! Tell you, I have never lost! Lance and Ian both lost, and even Theo laughed."

Looking at Gao Wen's swearing look, Emma also raised her chin confidently and "let the horse come over." Her posture seemed to have no regard for her ladylike image at all, and she looked like a tomboy.

Gao Wen in front of him was full of vitality and so familiar. He was still the one who made all kinds of faces when he was a child who made all kinds of faces to make him laugh. He was still the one who was scolded by Theo after causing trouble but secretly made faces. Some things will have a chance after missing them, and it doesn't matter if they are gone. But some people, once they miss it, they will really miss it, and regret will be useless, so he would rather stay and continue to stick to it, so he would rather take a step on the thorny road in front of him.

"Lance, Lance, come here to be the judge! Is my face the ugliest in the world?" Gao Wen saw Gao Wen standing at the door in his eyes, and quickly spoke loudly, waved his hand excitedly, as if he would not give up without distinguishing the height.

Emma turned around suddenly, and then saw Lance with a smile on her lips. Her elegant and disregarded image just now suddenly became without a trace. Her cheeks were slightly hot, she glanced slightly and hesitated, "Uh, next time, Gao Wen, next time. I need to go back now, you need to rest, right? After you finish recuperation, we can divide the difference."

Emma stood up, hung the slender leather strap on her shoulders, and showed a bright smile. Gaowen suddenly became disappointed, but did not force her, "Next time we invite a few judges to witness. Believe me, I will definitely beat you in the best condition."

Emma smiled pursed her lips, turned around and nodded slightly to Lance, hesitated for a moment, but she still took a step, bypassed Lance, and walked out. Lance was a little surprised, looking back at Emma's steps without looking back, "Wait." Before her brain's thoughts could catch up, the words blurted out. Emma turned around, her light skirt danced in the air, and cast a puzzled look at Lance, which made Lance pause for a moment and a moment of hesitation.

"Thank you" words were circling on the tip of his tongue, but in the end he could not say it, as if he would reveal his fragility, as if he would reveal his true nature, "...I'll take you downstairs." Lance looked back at Gao Wen, who made a "ok" gesture to reassure Lance. Then Lance turned around, caught up with Emma's footsteps, raised his hand and patted his shoulders with a faint swaying look, "Let's go."

Emma looked down at the shadow on her shoulders, and the smile on the corner of her mouth flew gently.

The two walked into the elevator. There were only two of them in the spacious elevator. Emma and Lance stood side by side. They looked up at the lights slowly changing on the floor in front of them, but they seemed to have suddenly lost their language. No one spoke, and the quiet atmosphere slowly spread. "Pushing", the elevator stopped on the fourth floor, the elevator door opened, and a group of people rushed in. Emma and Lance couldn't help but start to retreat, but there were more and more people. In a blink of an eye, the entire elevator was filled, and even the overloaded alarm ringed.
