673 Chain Reaction

The air is a little turbid, and the hospital building is always filled with an unbearable smell of medicine, and this is even more so in the narrow elevator space. Fortunately, the elevator was not completely squeezed out at this time, and the flowing air brought a hint of breeze, so that it would not make people want to suffocate. But what happened to the alarm bell loaded on the elevator just now?

Emma realized this and suddenly looked up, then saw Lance, who was so close to her, with his hands supporting the elevator wall, building a small space that allowed her to avoid being squeezed into meat pies.

The broad chest was right in front of me, and I could vaguely feel the steady but hot breathing on my head. The light woody fragrance lingers between my nose, and even the sound of my heart hitting my chest. Emma only felt her cheeks turn red and she lowered her gaze again in embarrassment, but then she saw that her gaze was facing Lance's chest, and her cheeks were burning like fire. She turned her head in panic, and then she saw the muscles of the arm tensed under the dark blue shirt. Obviously, under the lightness of the surface, there was a huge pressure coming from the elevator.

There was nowhere to escape in the narrow space, as if her whole world was surrounded. Emma only felt that her heart was in her throat, and her eyes were not even sure where she should be. Her eyes could not help but float towards her firm chest. She accidentally floated up and saw the firm chin line. She hurriedly lowered her eyes, trying to see her toes, but her eyes fell on that part.

"Oh God!"

Emma just felt shyly wanting to disappear completely. Fortunately, with a "ding" sound, the elevator stopped again, and a small group of men walked out in a row, and the space suddenly became loose. The hot wall in front of her took a small step back, and the air suddenly circulated. Emma couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but there was an inexplicable loss in her heart. But before she could figure out her thoughts, the wooden breath remaining in the air slowly fell on her skin, and her heart began to throbbed again.

Plop, plop. Slow, but powerful, yet clear. One, one after another, as if the whole world was left with the sound of heartbeat and the ubiquitous familiar breath.

The first floor finally arrived. Emma quickly walked out of the elevator, not daring to look up at all, but just moved forward silently, and soon arrived at the hospital door. A whistle came from her ear. She then raised her head. Lance put her right hand in her pocket, waved her left hand and called a taxi over, and the car stopped in front of the two of them.

Emma walked over and was about to get on the car, but Lance suddenly grabbed his right hand. The hot palm was passed through the skin, making Emma almost exclaim. She raised her head in panic, but saw the faint smile in Lance's blue eyes, raised her right hand to cover her head, and raised her body awkwardly, and bent her waist to block the door frame of the car for her.

Emma realized that she almost hit the door frame just now and quickly whispered, "Thank you."

Lance lowered his eyes, covering the panic in his eyes, and signaled Emma to get in. After Emma got in, Lance did not close the door immediately, but looked at Emma deeply, which made Emma a little panic and a little surprised. He didn't understand the meaning of Lance's move. After waiting for a while, the low voice came over, "Thank you." Emma was just full of questions and didn't understand the purpose of Lance's words at all, but Lance did not give her time to think. Then he closed the door and patted the roof, indicating that the driver could drive.

The taxi slowly drove out. Emma looked at Lance who was standing in the place watching him from the rearview mirror. She put her right hand in her pocket again, and was stunned for a moment before she realized. "Thank you", this seemed to be the first time that Lance showed softness in front of her. Even if the warmth leaked for a moment was like the sunlight that burst out from behind the layers of dark clouds, it still fell in Emma's heart. The curve of the corner of her mouth was gently outlined, and she looked at the slightly gloomy sky in New York outside the window, but her mood flew on the wind.

Lance turned around and walked back to the hospital with a slightly awkward pace, feeling his temple ache. He has become a little sensitive in the past half month of abstinence. Apart from that, there is no other reasonable explanation, it must be like this.

Going back to the ward, Gao Wen still did not rest, but turned on the TV to watch the news. Seeing Lance's return, there was a faint drop of water on his face. He probably just went to the bathroom to wash his face, and there was a light shadow in his eyes, indicating that his sleep quality seemed not good. He withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "You have been in New York, isn't it okay to work? Didn't you miss my game last time because of a series of meetings?"

Lance looked at Gao Wen blankly, staring at the TV screen without squinting, but was obviously absent-minded. Gao Wen was still like this, a terrible liar, Lance deliberately put on a stern face and said seriously, "Are you worried that your living expenses will be lost after you retire?"

Seeing that Lance was so serious, he couldn't answer for a moment, and quickly explained in panic, "You know I didn't mean this." But before he finished speaking, he saw the smile between Lance's eyebrows slowly emerge. He immediately realized that he was being fooled. He stretched out his middle finger with his right hand and said angrily, "I am a patient, I am a patient!"

"So, your task is to recuperate well!" Lance walked to the side without caring and sat down again in his position. "As for work, let me worry!"

Lance picked up the laptop again, prepared to sort out his thoughts and continue writing the script, but looking at the computer screen, he suddenly became stunned. He had given up the "I am a Legend" project. The bitter smile at the corner of his mouth was outlined.

However, this kind of sadness was only a short time. Soon, Lance closed the document and then sent a message to Cole, explaining some "I am a legend" matters, and asking Cole to give him a list of scripts and story summary of the most recent suitable projects. He needs to start choosing Chaos Pictures' next work again.

The seemingly random move not long ago now has practical significance. After missing "I am a legend", Lance's choice is still completely open. The question is not what the next work is, but how the next work should be planned, what will Barry do next? Is this shock education over here or is there any follow-up? How will things happen?

After reading the email, Cole immediately called Lance. After the two of them communicated for half an hour, Dorothy called Lance and discussed for nearly forty-five minutes. Obviously, what subsequent impact this incident will have? Everything is unknown at present. They must mobilize all the resources in their hands, and at the same time, they need to collect information as much as possible to prevent it.

However, Lance returned to the selection of projects again.

In fact, among the currently known projects, Lance is most interested in "Atonement". This script adapted from the original work of the same name is quite interesting. The movie tells a story about forgiveness and confession. The fantasy Bioni mistakenly believes that her sister Cecilia has an affair with her servant son Robbie, but her misunderstanding leads to a meaningless prison. Not only falsely accusing the innocent Robbie, but also leading to the tragic fate of Cecilia and Robbie. The fate of the three people has changed forever. What is even more rare is that through the story of such a small family, the movie reflects the great fate under the background of World War II, which is impressive.

In the last life, Joe Wright's version of "Atonement" was highly praised and was very impressive during the awards season. At first, many people might become another "British patient", but later it became weaker and was covered up by "old without any support" and "blood is coming". In the end, at the Oscar, it did not meet expectations from nominations to awards.

It must be admitted that Qiao's version of "atonement" is impressive, but his biggest regrets are two. One is that the entanglement between the war background and the fate of the little characters cannot be further explored, and the other is that the psychological transformation of the characters cannot be further described. Objectively speaking, if adapted by Lance, he may not have done better than Qiao, especially for the first regret, which requires rich knowledge of the background of the times as the foundation, and a sufficient understanding of contemporary customs and culture, and integrating his reflection of his sad thoughts about fate into it.

As an excellent work of this type, "Casablanca", the proposition of the big destiny of a small person is definitely not that easy.

However, it is precisely because of this challenge that Lance has more interest in this script, which will be another extreme challenge.

But now Lance knew that what he needed was a commercial movie, not an art movie that showed off during the awards season, because Chaos Film needed a heavy-weight commercial movie to drive the entire company's operation, just like "I am a legend" just passing by.

Lance now has two choices. The first is to take charge of the "7". Chaos Pictures and Sony Pictures are still in the early preparations to discuss the script. If Lance takes over the guide, it will seem more natural. The second is to challenge "Spy Shadows 3" or "Spider-Man 3". The former is the new peak of action movies, and the latter is the peak of Marvel Comics adaptation. No matter which one is chosen, this will have great benefits for Chaos Pictures' future exhibitions, and it is also an important challenge for Lance.

Of course, the most important thing is that these works are reliable and will definitely help Chaos Pictures to a higher level, and even more suitable than "I am a legend".

However, before Lance made a choice, a series of chain reactions came to his head and caught Lance off guard. To be continued.
