George fell into deep thought because of Lance's words. I have to say that Lance's idea is very bold, it can be said to be very retro, but it is very modern, completely different from any current shooting method. It can be said that it has created a new genre. Is this the core idea of ​​Lance on exploring the path of fusion of business and art?

This is not surprising. This was the case when "killing with a knife". Lance followed the narrative method of commercial films, but used the shooting method of artistic works to present emotional changes and spatial dislocation with lighting effects, and further amplified the characters' psychology, and every change is revealed in the light.

This bold and extraordinary attempt caused a lot of exclamations from industry insiders, which can be regarded as an experimental shooting technique. But the result is undoubtedly gratifying. "Borrowing a knife to kill" not only achieved great success in commercial box office, but also allowed Tom Cruise to break the shackles and win the Little Golden Man for the first time.

In fact, it is not only "killing with a knife", but the four works currently released by Lance are all like this, including "the day after tomorrow". George couldn't help but start thinking, was it because Lance received different artistic ideas from the European and North American continents? This is not only ability, but also a talent.

In addition, George's thoughts were more profound. Using this shooting method not only means that Lance must be aware of all compositions and editing; it also means that Lance has a superior understanding of the control of lines, character shaping and core mining. George will not forget how powerful Lance's ambition for "Mad Max 4".

If we only shoot according to George's idea, Lance's method will be able to present this visual feast, but Lance's intention is not only that, he also hopes to explore human nature and the apocalypse, which also means that character scheduling, picture composition, and line connection must be taken into consideration, which is so difficult... it has exceeded George's imagination.

Suddenly, George looked up and looked around. Twenty-five painters surrounded him. Each of them looked different, but the excitement in his eyes was so similar, as if he wanted to start picking up his brush on the spot and immediately devoted himself to the creation. The collision and boiling of inspiration were clearly visible in his sight.

So, Lance deliberately was vague at the beginning and did not point out the storyline. This is why? Leave enough imagination and creative space for the painters, based on his draft, outline his ideas for the end of the world, and then all the creativity and inspiration collided, "Bang!" The universe was born after the Big Bang, wasn't it?

At this moment, George truly understood the reason why Lance invited twenty-five painters. In his conception, five painters were enough, but the number of presents was five times higher! Because Lance required the sketch of the storyboard to be accurate and in place, there should be no mistakes. At that time, all the shooting of the crew will be based on these storyboards. Any mistake may cause Lance to spend one million or even two million to make up for it.

"Lance, how many storyboards are you going to draw?" Just as everyone was shocked by Lance's unconventional shooting techniques and trying to digest them well, George had already reacted.

"Ten thousand pairs?" Lance shrugged and said lightly, in fact, this is just a preliminary concept, and the specific situation still needs to be gradually promoted. Perhaps the storyboard will need more. Considering that there is no support from computer special effects, this is a necessary means. There will be gains and losses.

But even so, everyone in the room still gasped and looked at Lance incredibly.

George also showed surprise on his gentle face, "Do you know how much this will cost?" George's words were already tactful. In the eyes of major Hollywood film companies, Lance's behavior was a stupid act of squandering money.

Just like James Cameron was filming the "Titanic", he found that all the porcelain did not have the logo of the White Star Company, so he re-entered all the costumes, props, extras... and re-shooted the scene for two million dollars. In the eyes of those big companies, it was just an irrelevant logo and no one would pay attention to it, but James was unwilling to compromise.

Now Lance is doing the same thing, and it is a "stupid and useless" attempt in the eyes of large companies.

Lance shrugged and refused to comment. This is also the reason why he asked Ian for 100 million yuan. This time he would not seek the help of computer special effects. He would meticulously review every picture and complete the shooting frame by frame. Even if the cost increased from 100 million to 150 million yuan, he would do whatever he wanted!

The surprise in George's eyes turned into praise. This persistence and madness that outsiders cannot understand is often the norm for an artist's survival. In fact, George has always believed that film works themselves will not distinguish between commercial and artistic attributes, and the focus is on the source of the creator's inner enthusiasm. For example, James's perfect use of computer special effects has created amazing achievements in the field of business; for example, Alfred Hitchcock's control of rhythm and creating atmosphere is a master, and no one can make horror movies of that texture.

George saw that almost perverted fanaticism in Lance. He truly believed that Lance could transform all his ideas into reality.

"Where are lines? Have you ever thought about lines?" George was asked. "For the first time, I began to wonder how you want to create... these characters." George looked at the other painters next to him and realized that it would be better not to reveal too much plot content, so he vaguely mentioned it.

"Imagine this scene." Lance said, but did not rush to finish it in one breath. Instead, when everyone focused their attention, he continued to say that he needed everyone to understand this rock spirit that was deeply rooted in the bone marrow, a nearly perverted fanaticism. "A man drove a beetle and chased the tanker truck unyieldingly. Then in the dust storm, he pulled out all the oil pipes in the car. The gasoline piled up on the floor of the car like a small pool, flowing down, and quickly piled up, scattering a pungent smell all the way, and hitting the tanker truck in a mighty way. Then, the man raised the smokeless flames high and ignited them. Facing the yellow sand all over the sky, he was extremely excited, extremely excited, and extremely selfless.

Lance also raised his right hand, adjusted his breathing, and his expression began to become crazy, "I am the man who occupied the sun and sailed towards the Valhalla! Ahhhh!" Lance waved his right hand vigorously and kept roaring, "Witness me!" Then he leaned forward, stared at everyone with his eyes wide open, and finally roared to the sky, "Witness me!" The draft roll held by his right hand loosened, and then fell down.

Involuntarily, everyone's eyes fell down with the drum, as if it was the flame, as if there was gasoline below, as if it would explode in the next second. The horror was not as strong as the shock, and everyone was stunned.

"...what are you witnessing?" Kirk, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but stammer and asked.

The evil smile at the corner of Lance's mouth bloomed freely, and there was a desperate madness in his eyes, "Sacrificing life."

"Hu", the sound of a breath of cold air came from the room again. The feeling that was coming to face almost made people unable to make any effective reaction. However, there was a fanaticism in Kirk's eyes, which could not be suppressed. He was really imaginative about the man in front of him. His fantasy ideas broke all taboos in an unconventional manner and strongly declared his existence, giving him the urge to crawl on the ground and worship him.

"Isn't this an evil or religion?" Hayden's inappropriate voice sounded, breaking the brief deadlock. In an instant, everyone threw a look of surprise at Hayden - because Hayden said it seemed to be the fact!

Lans nodded calmly and returned to his usual appearance, as if the evil and crazy man had never appeared before. "This is the effect! Everyone shouted 'Witness Me' and then rushed to sacrifice, as if that was the most gorgeous music of life." This kind of fanaticism similar to evil/culturalism is a deformed concept that was born under the background of the apocalypse, and it is also an embodiment of pushing the spirit of dark rock to the extreme. Lance looked at the twenty-five painters and his eyes fell on everyone, "Remember, everyone in the story has such fanaticism, chilling persistence and madness. Maybe you can get some inspiration and then express it on the drawing."

Lance had finished speaking, but the scene was still silent, and no one spoke. It seemed that everyone was shocked and came back to their senses. Lance raised his hand and snapped his fingers, pulling everyone's attention back, "Everyone can start a discussion now. If there is any problem, ask questions immediately. We need to get into work as soon as possible."

From storyboard to shooting, there is still a lot of preparations to be done next. Lance hopes to launch a Jedi counterattack as soon as possible and don’t miss this opportunity, but must ensure the quality of the work, so it can be said that it is a matter of time.

Lance's words were like magic. In an instant, everyone was exchanging sights with each other, and then exchanged opinions excitedly. Just spoke, and thoughts were vented like a flood that opened the gate, and countless inspirations collided in the brain. If they were not vented immediately, the brain would explode. The whole room went from quiet to hustle and bustle, just a matter of blinking.

Lance looked at George, "You should not be in a hurry to leave, right? I need to discuss with you." George's main job is "Happy Big Foot", so Lance asked.

George laughed, "My honor."

"Give me a minute." Lance nodded with a smile, then looked back and saw Percy.
