"Please forgive my misogynistic. I just eavesdropped on your conversation. I seem to hear that Warner Brothers has a work to be filmed in Tokyo?" Lance had a hint of sincere apology in his eyes, but the smile on the corner of his mouth invisibly eased the atmosphere, making people easily forgive his abruptness and recklessness.

Barry knew that Lance was saying this to him. He did not want to participate in Lance and Ryan's personal grudges. However, Lance's words in moderation did not arouse his disgust at all. On the contrary, it also aroused his curiosity and said with a smile, "What? Are you interested?"

In 2000, Barry Mayer became the CEO of Warner Bros. He made drastic reforms to Warner Bros. He brought the company to unprecedented glory. From 2001 to 2010, Warner Bros. ranked among the top three in North America's box office nine times in ten years, and won six of them, dominating Hollywood and pioneering the era of blockbusters belonging to Warner Bros. As the helmsman, Barry not only has extraordinary vision, but also an old fox, and no one can underestimate it.

Lance savored the scrutiny and alienation in Barry's ambiguous smile. Obviously, Barry was just dealing with himself politely, which means that Lance must be cautious in his words next; not to mention that there is Ryan who is eyeing him next.

"Haha, are anyone interested in working with Warner Brothers?" Lance chuckled cheerfully. The slightly dull voice was a little magnetic and bloomed in the sun. This rhetorical question made Barry smile, "The real reason is that I have a good understanding of Asian culture, especially China, so when I hear Tokyo, my ears inevitably grow a little." After that, Lance slightly raised his hands, placed them in front of his chest, made a half-submission move, and vividly expressed his apology again.

Barry was obviously very satisfied when he heard this explanation. He had a faint smile in his eyes. He opened his mouth and was about to answer the conversation. Ryan, who was standing next to him, took the lead for half a beat, "Really? I have known you for more than ten years, but why don't I know you have some understanding of Asian culture?"

Lance turned to look at Ryan, narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly restrained his smile, and his voice sank, "Buddha, you don't know me, there are still many things." The evil spirit that burst out in that moment made Ryan shocked. Because it was too surprising, Ryan's expression was a little stiff - although he didn't make any mistakes, it was enough in front of an old fox like Barry.

But before Ryan could speak, the smile on the corner of Lance's mouth rose again, and the azure blue eyes cast the shadow of sunlight, shimmering like dewdrops on the tip of the leaves in the morning, "If I said, I spoke good Chinese, you would definitely not believe it, right?" The eyes flashed with gorgeous confidence and a hint of teasing, as if the evil spirit that moment just happened was just Ryan's illusion, and from beginning to end it was just a joke made by Lance.

Sure enough, Barry laughed happily, even with a smile in his eyes. It was obvious that he was really amused by Lance's words. Ryan couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, his stiff face relaxed a little, and then he chuckled twice dryly, finally covering up the embarrassment just now.

"Even if you can speak fluent Chinese..." Barry raised his eyebrows, and with that joking tone, he obviously didn't believe that Lance could speak Chinese at all. For them, there was no difference between Chinese and Tianshu, "But China and Japan are different."

"Of course!" Lance nodded neatly, "But I also have a good understanding of Japanese culture. Japan is a country that is very obedient to etiquette and is even a bit rigid, so for the film crew, filming in Japan is very difficult and very difficult."

Barry tapped his chin gently, revealing his careful listening. Lance successfully attracted his attention; not only Barry, but Ryan also focused on Lance's words at this time. He vaguely smelled the danger, but he couldn't say why, so he could only pay close attention to Lance.

"A friend of mine once went to Japan to shoot a documentary. He made an oral agreement with a hotel. He filmed it until four o'clock in the afternoon. But you all know that there will always be emergencies during the filming process, let alone documentaries." Lance's blue eyes were filled with sincere and focused light, which inadvertently attracted the attention of Barry and Ryan. "As a result, my friend was unable to complete the filming on time. After four o'clock, he was still busy in the hotel. He thought about turning back and apologizing to the boss and then subsidizing part of the expenses. There should be no problem. But unexpectedly, at 4 o'clock, the owner cut off the power supply of the entire hotel." Barry and Ryan's eyes showed a look of surprise. "And, my friend was scolded by the Japanese friend he was with, and the Japanese friend also said that this was a serious breach of trust and disrespect to the owner."

"What about it later?" Barry frowned slightly and asked.

Lance shrugged, and his eyes accurately and restrainedly brought a hint of regret and surprise, "He can only make a reservation, re-arrange the itinerary, and re-shoot." One sentence made Barry look incredible. Similar things will appear in any filming crew - and it is not possible, it is certain! But in the United States, everything can be negotiated, and even major events such as street closures have room for maneuver, let alone a hotel. Because of this, the cultural impact is even more fierce.

Almost silently, Lance firmly grasped the focus of the conversation and the dominance of thought in his hands. Neither of the two old foxes, Barry and Ryan, noticed it.

Ryan stood beside him, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. On the one hand, he was also shocked by Lance's words and began to worry about the difficulties and setbacks of shooting on site in Tokyo; but on the other hand, he was doubting the authenticity of Lance's words, after all, he and Lance are not friends now.

However, Lance should not know his current plan, so he should not be calculating himself, right? Ryan raised his head a little wanderingly and looked at Lance.

Ryan's hesitation was hidden very well. There was no flaw in his expression. Outsiders could not tell that he was hesitating. However, Lance had known Ryan for ten years, and he really knew this friend very much. He could clearly see through Ryan's thoughts from Ryan's unconscious action of tidying up the hem of his clothes.

Lance knew that he had succeeded, his desperate bets had succeeded, and he had successfully aroused the uncertainty of Barry and Ryan. All he needed to do was to light another fire.

"However, what kind of work are you talking about? If it is a big production like the Matrix, then please forget all my words just now." Lance expressed his surprise and curiosity just right, and then brought the topic back quietly. "Look, who am I talking nonsense with?" Lance chuckled and turned to look at Barry, but his eyes were always locked on Ryan. "The works that need to be produced by the two companies to cooperate in shooting must be big productions, right? So, please ignore me!"

Lance's words were extremely light, but Ryan felt that Lance's gaze was always wrapped around him, just like aquatic plants at the bottom of the sea, invisible and invisible, but annoying. The thin and sharp feeling made Ryan's expression uneasy.

It seemed as if everything was happy between the three of them, but each of them had such deep eyes that covered the storm in their hearts.

The ending was over, and the afterglow was profound. After the purpose was achieved, Lance did not plan to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye, "Look, I seem to have appeared in an inappropriate occasion again. I will leave now and leave the space for you two." Lance's ambiguous eyes made Barry laugh, and Ryan had to pull the corner of his mouth.

"Let's talk slowly later when things are over." Lance shook Ryan's hand again, and used a little force on his right hand, which made Ryan feel a little painful, but before Ryan could counterattack, Lance let go of his hand, quickly and directly, like a rattlesnake. Then, Lance showed a calm and polite smile at Ryan, and turned around and left.

Leaving Ryan standing there, his right hand hurt slightly, and his tense teeth were almost broken.

Lance has done his best, and he has made the best efforts within his ability. Lance knows too little about this funeral. He only knows that Ryan has made a huge breakthrough at this funeral. The most eye-catching one is the cooperation agreement with five works with Warner Brothers, which has become an extremely important turning point. As for the details of the agreement, the specific projects of cooperation, etc., Lance knows nothing.

I happened to hear the keyword "Tokyo", and then I heard some clues about Barry and Ryan's dialogue in fragments, and combined with my own memories... "2002", "Tokyo", "on-site shooting", "Ryan Kavalug", all of which are pieced together to form a classic masterpiece, "Lost Tokyo".

Lance boldly speculated that Ryan hopes to work with Warner Bros. to shoot the "Lost Tokyo" work! Perhaps, "Lost Tokyo" is the beginning of the cooperation agreement between Ryan and Warner Bros. All Lance needs to do is to destroy the possibility of this agreement and destroy the best opportunity for Ryan's rise. If possible, he even hopes to grab this opportunity and hold it firmly in his own hands.

Judging from the words just now, Lance believes that Ryan and Barry still have some doubts about the entire crew's plan to go to Tokyo for filming, and all he needs to do is to deepen this hesitation.

Everything Lance said just now is true and there is no false content. Even if Ryan or Barry personally verified it, it will never be exposed. However, Lance's words expressed a meaning: if this is a big production and money can make the devil push, then all the problems will not be a problem; but if this is a low-cost production, there is no need to make such a struggle. Going to Japan to shoot in person only makes things more complicated.

More importantly, a low-cost production does not require two companies to cooperate in shooting - or to be more precise, Warner Bros. does not need to cooperate with Ryan, and can complete the production independently; and what is interesting is that Ryan does not need to cooperate with Warner Bros., but he comes to seek cooperation. So what does this mean? The prospects of this work are not optimistic, is there something wrong with the production lineup of this work, or is it that Ryan has other requirements?

Lance's seemingly simple words revealed too much information. The stupid person might just skip it, but the smart person will think more and more, and the deeper he will think. Ryan and Barry are both smart people.
