738 The Gathering of Beauty

The Los Angeles Times and the New York Times are facing each other!

This is not new, it happens almost every few days, but every time it happens, it still makes people excited, because it is a strong collision of public opinion orientation between the east and west sides of the United States, just like Mars hitting the earth.

The Los Angeles Times believes that the model audition of "Mad Max 4" is a farce, like a circus acrobatic. In order to attract attention, the prospects of this movie are bleak in the absence of outstanding actors. Both inside and outside emphasize that Lance ignores the important role of actors - implying that Lance has fallen into a dilemma without excellent actors, and choosing model franchise is completely putting the cart before the horse.

What he is doing - he is creating a commercial masterpiece that is truly visual feast.

Hidden under the calm and quiet objective reports, there is a surging undercurrent. The sarcasm of the Los Angeles Times is the mainstream rumor in Hollywood at present, but the powerful counterattack of the New York Times gave Hollywood a blow, awakening their "disappearance" memory again: Lance is no longer the puppet at the mercy of others - although he was not from the beginning.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lance only needs to raise his arms and the actors who are willing to join will definitely continue to do so.

"I am a legend", "007", "Spider-Man 3", "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", "National Treasure 2"... Are these works worth joining? Of course it is worth it! Not only because these are highly anticipated commercial blockbusters, as long as they become one of them, they will receive countless attention; but also because these are works produced by six major film companies, a cooperation may open up the road of long-term cooperation in the future, which is a rare opportunity for any actor.

But, none of them are Lance.

The accumulated fame of one work after another gives Lance an unparalleled appeal in Hollywood. Even though Chaos Pictures is not Warner Bros. or Sony Pictures, for those long-standing actors, the company size is not the focus, but the works are; for those unknown actors, large companies are out of reach, while small companies have many opportunities. What's more, every work of Lance has a lot of topics, every work is wonderful, and every work has achieved remarkable results. The authority of this young director is breaking away from the shackles of large film companies and becoming a brand new banner for Hollywood.

Even if the six major film companies join forces to blockade, they cannot control hundreds of thousands of members of the American Actors' Union and prevent them from throwing into Lance's arms. Perhaps, on the surface, no one is willing to publicly admit that they want to join "Mad Max 4", because all kinds of signs seem to indicate that this will be a doomed work; but when the invitation from Lance really appears, how many people can refuse to tempt/temptation?

First it was Tom and Leonardo, then Charlize, and then Scarlett. But this was just the beginning, and then Emma Watson also said when promoting "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", "If you can star in a work directed by Lance, it would be very interesting, isn't it?"

Then, Naomi Watts, who has attracted much attention because of "King Kong", mentioned in an interview, "Lancelot." At that time, she was asked, after finishing her collaboration with Peter Jackson, which director she wanted to work with the most, "He is amazing, isn't it? It can always give the character a different charm. I heard that he is preparing a new work and I am very happy to join."

Edford Norton said during a radio show, "'Crazy Max 4', this is the work I want to shoot the most, Lance, did you hear it? I'm waiting for your invitation call. To be honest, I'm now considering whether I'm going to visit New York in person."

The loud slaps after loudly made the Los Angeles Times hold their breath and can't vent anyway. The feeling of aggrievance cannot be described in words.

Now Lance is like a awakened giant. It seems unlikely to use tough means to suppress it, because the absolute advantage has disappeared, and big-name actors are very happy to promote Lance. Even if professionals in the industry think that "Mad Max 4" will be a disaster, for the actors, Lance has accumulated enough credit, and they express their respect and admiration without hesitation, and have great confidence in this work.

Just like James Cameron, everyone in the circle believes that the "Titanic" will be a huge disaster, especially after the devastating blow of the "Future Water World", but there are still countless actors willing to join, film companies willing to invest, and some are still willing to take risks. Now, so is Lance.

The six major film companies behind the Los Angeles Times are probably disappointed. "Crazy Max 4" can no longer be suppressed by conventional methods. Lance's authority makes the situation gradually break out of control. Fortunately, each industry has its own rules, and if the rules are violated, it will inevitably be punished. People in the circle know that Chaos Pictures cannot rent a studio in Burbank.

The news of the "New York Times" made a brilliant debut at the most perfect time, not only responding to the concerns of the "Los Angeles Times", but also shifted people's attention to the audition site of the "Mad Max 4". Before we knew it, this work became a big hit again.

East Garden, located on Fifty-first Street in Manhattan, is a prestigious old theater. The world-famous musical "Cat" has been staged here for many years and has become the longest drama on Broadway. As a time-honored theater, East Garden's architecture is a typical old European style, with antique exterior walls and red and wine-filled porch. Everything is full of the retro flavor of the 1930s. The seemingly old decoration carries the history and charm of the entire street. Every detail leaves traces of wind and frost, making people unable to help but depict history.

"Cat" officially ended its performance in 2000. Now East Garden is performing "Boy from Oz" starring Hugh-jackman. The actor who became popular all over the world because of Wolverine is also an excellent drama actor. Hugh won his first Tony Award for his role as a gay artist in "Boy from Oz", which also makes this musical very popular on Broadway. Every night at the performance, there are always lively crowds at the door, and I can't wait to see Hugh's style.

However, today, Dongzhi Garden was a bit unusually lively. At just 10 o'clock in the morning, more than a thousand people gathered at the door, bustling and bustling. The crowded grand occasion was rare even when the "cat" was staged. Not only that, the crowd was still approaching Dongzhi Garden, more and more, making people passing by on both sides of the street look shocked.

What's even more amazing is that all the people crowded on the road were beauties and handsome men, and occasionally some outlandish people were mixed with weathered faces, which seemed particularly abrupt. You could see the cameras on their necks and the old-fashioned fixtures, which made people easily recognize their reporter identity.

It was already late autumn, and the strong winds in New York were mixed with bleakness and coldness, but the grand occasion in front of us gave us an illusion that spring was coming. We were plump and thin, colorful and graceful, and completely dazzled. The excitement and brilliance on the beautiful faces dispelled the haze of the sky, as if the whole world was brighter.

"Didn't New York Fashion Week... ended three weeks ago?"

This is almost everyone's first reaction. Every year, New York Fashion Week can always see such a grand occasion. The audition site of those top brands selecting models is even more beautiful. Even if you just stand by and watch, it is a kind of beauty. But the problem is that it is obviously not during the fashion week, and it is Dongyue Garden, not the model audition site.

When Javier Ulier arrived at the scene, the smiling scene came to his face like a heat. His eyes didn't know where they should be. Just scan it casually to see the amazing face. Occasionally, the male models were tall and mighty, with outstanding temperament, which made people feel an illusion of entering Alice's whimsical world. Javier couldn't help but be stunned. He couldn't find an accurate word to describe the grand occasion in front of him.

"This is really a party." The mutters of fellow filming reporters came to his ears, and Javier couldn't help but nod.

Apart from the party, there is no vocabulary more suitable. Javier laughed silently, "Lance is really cruel this time." He could almost imagine that the visual impact of major news pages tomorrow, especially the waves created on the Internet, no matter what Lance's real purpose is, whether it is selected as actors or topic hype, he has taken the initiative. This audition with a large number of beautiful people will occupy the top spot on the topic for a long time.

Not to mention others, even Javier couldn't help but start to wonder, what would the "Crazy Max 4" look like?

I believe those people in Hollywood won’t like the scene in front of them.
Chapter completed!
