749 The Angry Smile

Not Burbank, not Las Vegas, not Vancouver, or even North American mainland, "Mad Max 4" will go to the African continent to shoot. This... This is simply a fantasy. All reporters were killed off guard, and the shock on their faces could hardly be concealed. They were stunned and confused.

At this moment, how could the reporters not understand that they were collectively disguised by Lance.

Obviously, Lance never intended to compromise, and Vancouver was not an option at all. On the surface, Lance ran around New York and Los Angeles, struggling to find solutions, but behind the scenes, Chaos Pictures has been closely linked to Africa. In full view of the public, it not only finalized the shooting permit for Namibia and reached an agreement with Cape Town in South Africa, but also reached a cooperation with American Airlines, and took out three aircraft in large quantities and transported the entire crew to the African continent. Africa's shooting equipment and shooting conditions naturally cannot be compared with the studio.

All of this was done under the close attention of journalists and Hollywood. There were so many pairs of eyes, but no one discovered Lance’s real intention.

During this period, they have always been gloating and waiting to watch jokes, but in fact they are jokes. They not only took the initiative to help Lance hype for free, but Chaos Pictures did not spend a penny, but "Crazy Max 4" achieved incredible exposure in major media; they were also confident that Chaos Pictures had been forced into a dead end, and today they couldn't wait to come and harvest the victory, but were slapped in the face, blushing and at a loss.

People think that the arrogant one is Lance, but now it seems that they are arrogant and arrogant, and they should be themselves.

After realizing this, all the reporters on the scene looked at each other. For a moment, they didn't know what to react. But then, they realized that they were not alone, and more than 300 peers all entered this trap. This was really... it was really too genius. All the clues showed that Lance had planned this drama that was concealed from the beginning, and it was probably that even Chaos Film was kept in the dark.

After the anger reached the extreme, a ridiculous feeling arose and then he couldn't help laughing. When the first reporter smiled, it seemed to be contagious, and everyone laughed powerlessly and helplessly. Then, the reporters realized that there was someone else who really made a fool of themselves.

For the news media, the interests between them and Chaos Pictures and Lance are indirect. Even if they are not able to detect Lance's plan and are embarrassed, all their peers are on the same boat. If they turn a blind eye to each other, this matter will be exposed and there will be no substantial harm. But what about the six major Hollywood film companies?

No one will forget Warner Bros. Sony Pictures and Disney have joined forces to blockade with confidence. From Burbank to Philadelphia to Atlanta, almost forced Chaos Pictures into a dead end. Everyone believed that under their suppression, no one could escape. No one would forget Lance's frequent actions after returning to Los Angeles. Paramount, 20th Century Fox, and Universal have also walked around. Even the Weinstein brothers and DreamWorks visited, but no one was willing to extend a hand of friendship to Lance. It seemed that the entire industry was determined that they wanted to join forces to teach Lance a lesson.

But now, the blockade of the six major film companies seems like a joke.

It’s not that they did not suppress Chaos Pictures, Chaos Pictures really had no way to find a suitable studio in the North American continent; it is not that Chaos Pictures had not planned to shoot in the United States from the beginning. Judging from the shooting locations selected by Lance, the idea of ​​"Mad Max 4" had already determined the concept of on-site shooting during the idea stage.

The Namibian Desert is the oldest desert in the world and the most famous coastal desert. It has the world's tallest sand dunes and the wonder of "falling sand into the sea". This red desert is one of the rare pure lands in the world that has not been swallowed by civilization. Here, the wasteland doomsday world presented by the "Mad Max" series is presented. It is extremely exciting to just imagine it.

This also means that the situation created by the six major film companies has spent countless efforts, but it turned out to be just juggling like a circus clown.

Even if the "Mad Max 4" ended up losing the box office, Lance also played tricks on the six major film companies this time, and it may become a topic of conversation for people after dinner in the next few months; but what if the "Mad Max 4" succeeds? Although there is only one percent, one thousand, or even one ten thousand chance, once this movie ignits the box office market, it will be the time for the six major film companies to truly be embarrassed.

"But...what is the awards season? Is Lance...n't he worried?"

Cliff Robinson, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, heard the surprised inquiries from his colleagues next to him. He couldn't help but shook his head gently and smiled bitterly, "Maybe Lance did not intend to make a difference in this year's awards season from the beginning." After saying that, Cliff had to express his admiration for Lance - although he really hated Lance, Lance won his respect.

First, he had a complete fall in love with George Clooney and cut off the prospect of the awards season for "Good Night, Good Luck". Lance left almost no face to the judges of the college. He accused the judges of being "hypocrites" indignantly and praised a plagiarized work. His words and words imply that George and the college had an important role. This made the old scholars of the college furious, but they had no choice but to do anything to Lance.

Then there was the distribution strategy of "Fruit Hard Candy". No one should forget that this work was released in the form of an experimental film. Even though it won numerous attention later, Chaos Pictures insisted on not launching the academy's public relations. If Warner Bros. hadn't held a trial conference with "Vanity Fair" behind the scenes, it would have been estimated that "Fruit Hard Candy" would still refuse to have further intimate contact with the academy judges.

Now Lance leads the crew of "Mad Max 4" to Africa. Seeing such a huge battle in front of him, it makes people believe that he may not come back within at least half a year. It is a foregone conclusion that the absence of the Golden Globes is an unknown whether the Oscars can attend.

It can be seen that Lance doesn't care about this year's awards season. Even though "City of Sin" is competitive in terms of visual effects and even if "Fruit Hard Candy" is highly sought after, Lance cut off his arm and made a decisive choice, putting all bets on "Crazy Max 4" and bets on it.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, Lance's behavior is too impulsive and extreme. Once the "Mad Max 4" fails, it will be really nothing. But no one should forget that real geniuses are so crazy. If the Wright brothers did not jump from a high place, then there would be no planes... What's more, the Wright brothers must have gone through countless meticulous calculations before the experiment, and obviously, Lance is the same.

Cliff never liked Lance, even disliked and rejected. But at this moment, Cliff had to give Lance a round of applause. With the power of one person, he played the whole of Hollywood and all the news media. This mind is definitely not something that ordinary people can have.

Cliff could even imagine how wonderful the expressions on Barry Mayer, Michael Leighton and Robert Egg's faces were at this time.

In an instant, the reporters became happy. They could completely shift their focus to the six major Hollywood film companies. The arrogant top group really fell into trouble this time, stealing chickens without losing their rice. Such a embarrassing state is probably not seen for decades. Even the rise of DreamWorks has not allowed these giant crocodiles to lose their composure. Who would have thought that just Lancelot-Stralo would have done it.

The reporters quickly returned to normal and immediately devoted themselves to the interview, hoping to publish relevant information about "Crazy Max 4" as soon as possible - it is the six major film companies that are embarrassed, not them, the news media is always the most "forgetful". Now that "Crazy Max 4" has become a hot topic in the news, every move will involve sales and interests, they are also very happy to report on the crew and use the media "Crazy Max 4" to openly mock the six major film companies.

Albert turned around and left the reporter, his calm smile froze slightly. He quickly walked through the crowd, and then found Percy who was checking in. "God, Lance is so big, I can't believe it. I almost had a heart attack when facing the reporter just now."

Percy didn't turn his head, curled his lips and sneered, "You're just a little braver, you've expected it long ago."

Albert originally wanted to complain, but Percy was so angry that he widened his eyes, "Otherwise, you go and try it? Faced with so many reporters, and these reporters will definitely not be ruthless. We don't know what the big guys will be angry and what means they will use."

Percy didn't show off her appearance, but she was also a little panicked inside. This time, Lance didn't tell anyone about the opportunity, but just told everyone in her position that they needed to know the facts. It was not until today that the whole puzzle piece was pieced together. Even as Lance's assistant, Percy couldn't help but take a breath.

Percy turned his head and looked at Albert, "Do you think Lance wouldn't have expected it?" He had absolute confidence in Lance.

Albert was stunned for a moment. He had to admit that Percy's words made sense. But on the surface he was unwilling to compromise and sneered, "Lance told you to arrange all the actors on board the plane, so you'd better not make any mistakes. After the crew arrived in Africa, things had just begun."

Indeed, the matter in Los Angeles has nothing to do with them. These chaos will be temporarily left in North America. Their top priority should be "Mad Max 4". As for how the six major film companies will react next, how they will retaliate, and how they will impose sanctions, in a short period of time, this is not something Lance needs to worry about.
