"Two million projects! Lance's next plan!"

When the New York Times put this on the front page and reported it on the front page, it caused a stir on the East Coast. In the article, Javier Ulier commented.

After missing the two sequels of "Return of Superman" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", and then having an affair with works such as "I am a Legend" and "007", everyone was curious about whether Lance's next choice was a large-scale commercial project with huge investment, an independent artwork that took a different approach, or a temporary rest and adjustment. Now, Lance finally gave the answer. He will continue his creative path and create a brand new work according to his own ideas. This work will cost a lot and may reach the level of "Avatar". This also means that after "the day after tomorrow", Lance will once again take charge of the visual effects blockbuster and present a feast for the audience. It makes people wonder what kind of work will Lance present, and his heart is surging!

At the end of this article, Javier mentioned by the way, "This work will be produced by Chaos Pictures alone." Such news is often ignored by many people, but in the eyes of those who are interested, it is enough to cause storm.

In recent times, Chaos Pictures has been at the forefront of the storm. To be more precise, Lance is the one who stands at the top of public opinion. However, it is not the star that holds the moon, but it is more like being basked on fire. Although there is no direct negative news, the alienation in silence is the most deadly. It seems that all excellent projects are far away from Lance. This genius artist who emerged from nowhere is gradually trapped in a whirlpool of being suppressed by joint forces. It is definitely not easy to break through the blockade.

The figures standing behind include Warner Bros., Universal Pictures and Disney, and even Sony Pictures began to stand by and watch. Paramount and 20th Century Fox were powerless even if they wanted to help. In addition, the news media that gloated and hiding beside the fanning of the flames, the whole Hollywood seemed to be connected into a big net, and Lance was the fish that could not escape.

This has also caused discussion among industry insiders. Many people believe that Lance should learn to compromise because times have changed. Now Hollywood no longer has the soil to give birth to paranoid genius like Stanley Kubrick. Taking Christopher Nolan as an example, if Christopher wants to shoot his idea into a movie as he pleases, he must make a deal - shoot three commercial movies for Warner Bros. in exchange for the right to shoot one of his own works. Therefore, Lance is naturally no exception, because this is the survival rule of Hollywood.

In their eyes, Lance already has the potential to become James Cameron, and his box office appeal must not be wasted easily. Cooperating with large film companies is the right way. As for Chaos Pictures, it is not a climate at all. This can be said to be the mainstream view.

There are also a small number of people who believe that Lance should know how to advance and retreat, avoid collisions with giant crocodiles like Warner Bros., and then concentrate on shooting independent art movies. The talent shown by Lance in the Crime trilogy is amazing, and the upcoming "Fruit Hard Candy" is even more exciting. Therefore, Lance gave up "I am a Legend" and "007", which is the right choice. He should continue to explore his style and then become a director like Alfred Hitchcock, who has a distinct style but box office appeal.

In their eyes, Lance's creative talent is undoubtedly the focus. From the blacklist to Chaos Film, Lance has already met all the conditions to expand his creative path. This small number of people are almost all old scholars from the academy. It can be seen from the Oscars' commendation of Lance in the past two years that they are very optimistic about Lance's future and hope to cultivate it vigorously. Perhaps, taking this opportunity to let Lance learn from the Paul Thomas Anderson and Coen brothers, this is a good idea.

No matter what view it is, almost no one thinks that Lance can break through the siege - because this time his opponent is too strong!

But who would have thought that Lance once again brought surprises, not Warner Bros., nor Sony Pictures, but Chaos Pictures! Lance will personally take the lead and prepare a super big project of $200 million, bet on all his wealth, and give it a try. The bloodiness of the gambler is shocking.

At the same time, this is also a slap on the opponent's head, a slap!

Sony Pictures is determined to take advantage of the situation, hoping to make a profit without spending a single soldier, but can maximize its own interests. Once they succeed, they may not only seek the "007" series, but also the entire Chaos Pictures become their "thugs". However, it failed.

Warner Brothers launched a massive blockade and suppressed Lance with a thunderous momentum, hoping to teach Lance a lesson. This action is popular in Hollywood because major film companies are allied interests. At that time, they can ask Lance for it. They are no longer the James Cameron with a full personality, but the talented but obedient Sam Remy. However, they also failed.

Instead of surrendering to Warner Bros., Lance did not ask for help from Sony Pictures, but jumped and sought another way out in the most unexpected way, finding a glimmer of life from the blockade and encirclement of large film companies! It was jaw-dropping!

The point is not "I am a legend" or "007". If I missed Lance, they still had countless choices. There is no need to worry that a project will be completely stopped due to the collapse of a key link. Therefore, the point is never the work itself, but the large film company launched an attack but was easily escaped by Lance.

And, it's not just a simple escape.

According to the information disclosed by the New York Times, this may be a large project of $200 million. It is not a random project or a simple impact, but a top project that covers 200 million costs and hides hundreds of millions of risks. What does this mean? This means that Chaos Pictures has the ability to independently produce such a huge project, even if it is completed by bank loans, and so courage is only a handful of all over Hollywood. DreamWorks may not have such courage; this means that Lance not only did not compromise, but also chose to attack the front, responding in the ways that large film companies are used to, and confronting commercial works projects with dignified ways.

In addition, this also means that Lance has officially sounded the clarion call for a declaration of war! The target of the declaration of war is the six major Hollywood film companies led by Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures!

Shocking world!

More importantly, unlike Mel Gibson at the time, Lance's choice was unexpected, but it did not deviate from the track. He chose a "similar to 'Avatar'" work to compete in a regular manner. This is not good news for Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures.

Because they had no way to unite the front and further suppress Lance; because they had no way to remove the fire from the bottom of the pot and truly shatter Lance's reliance; because they had no way to stop the shooting, they had no way to kill the threat in the cradle. Because Lance chose a front-line breakthrough, because Lance chose a regular project, and because Lance chose to empty his wealth... This also means that it is almost impossible to stop the project from running.

The only thing they can do is to prevent those top actors from joining Lance's crew, to keep the top behind the scenes busy with other work and unable to join Lance's crew, to prevent cities suitable for shooting such as Los Angeles, Atlanta, and New York from freeing up time and space to provide Lance with shooting venues... In other words, they can only use these small actions to block Lance's shooting, making the shooting process extremely difficult.

Of course, this method can also achieve unexpected results. If Lance cannot form a talented crew, if the crew is in chaos and the shooting process is bumpy, then it is almost impossible to complete an excellent work. There are "Future Water World" in front and "Saharan Cavalry" in the back, which are all iron-like cases.

But the point is that such small actions are really disgusting. Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures actually want to use these methods that cannot be brought to the table to deal with a Lance? It makes people laugh out loud when they say it.

It is also impossible to ignore that Lance is no longer an unknown person. He has a great appeal among the actors and behind the scenes. He not only filmed a sensitive subject like "The Crucifix", but also a super-large project costing 200 million yuan. There must be countless people interested. Even the six major film companies cannot control everyone, which means that even if they use those dirty methods, they may not be able to achieve their goals.

This is the real slap! A dignified, open and upright escape, Warner Brothers and Sony Pictures watched Lance escape from the net, and seized the faint glimmer of life and launched a counterattack, but they could not pursue and fight back, so they could only swallow this anger.

Frustrated, extremely frustrated!

It is hard to imagine that Lance actually did it. No one dared to fight against the six major Hollywood companies, no one dared to challenge the commercial giants backed by Wall Street, and no one dared to fight with a frontal breakthrough. It was like the Titanic hitting an iceberg - even the Titanic would be destroyed when it hits an iceberg. Chaos Film now cannot be regarded as a Titanic at all, and it is just a yacht to survive.

Although no one can assert that Lance will be able to fight back successfully, it is very likely that the yacht will hit hard and then be broken, but this is the most fascinating part of the unknown. No one can assert that Lance will succeed, but no one can assert that Lance will fail. At least, Lance has sounded the horn of counterattack.
