"The work here is over soon, and lunch doesn't need to wait too long." Lance's eyes were deeply focused and expressionless, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth made the sound of his heartbeat clear and a little lowered, with a kind of almost whispering ambiguity and a soft voice sounded in Jessica's ears.

Jessica heard Lance's words, and every word was clearer, but after all the words were combined, she was completely confused and didn't know what Lance was saying. But under Lance's gaze, Jessica couldn't help but nodded, as if she would believe it without hesitation even if Lance said that today was the end of the world.

Lance naturally sat down next to Jessica and looked at the two reporters sitting on the right with a smile, "So, what were you talking about just now? I hope I didn't disturb your work."

The two reporters exchanged glances with each other, then looked at Lance, and couldn't even introduce themselves, so they couldn't wait to ask, "We were asking Jessica just now about her feelings about being invited to attend Sundance, but... I'm even more curious now, are you on a date?" The glittering eyes were full of expectations, and they had already revealed their true thoughts at this time.

Lance chuckled, as if he was being entertained by this question. He turned his head and looked at Jessica and asked with a hint of teasing, "What do you think? Are we dating now?" A simple sentence made Jessica's heart beat again.

There was a voice deep in Jessica's heart shouting, "No! No!" But the voice was too weak, almost completely submerged by the surging excitement and excitement. Her cheeks were completely burning, but her eyes could not be taken away. She could only stare at the every move of the expression on Lance's face.

Then Jessica saw Lance turn her head, the smile at the corner of her mouth completely bloomed, adding a touch of chic and casualness, and then shook her chin gracefully, "I think this can't be considered a date, we are just friends at the moment. Jessica helped me a big favor and avoided the loneliness of me being alone on the red carpet, that's all." The gentleman was polite, graceful, and measured... Everything was perfect.

Jessica's hot brain slowly cooled down. She knew that what Lance was saying was the truth, and she should be happy because Lance was a devil, a dangerous demon full of temptation and temptation. She could not let her feet sink deep into the mud. However, at this time, the emotions in her heart were so mixed that she could not tell them in detail. The deep loss grabbed her feet tightly and then pulled them down hard, just like diving from a high altitude.

Lance's answer was denied the reporter's question, but the intimacy and ease in his tone seemed meaningful, and the expressions of Lance and Jessica were full of infinite possibilities.

The two reporters were not disappointed, but became more and more excited. The reporter sitting in front immediately asked in an ambiguous tone, "So, is there a possibility of a date next?" The reporter behind couldn't wait to add, "Will you take the initiative to invite Jessica?"

Lance was amused by the question and raised his eyebrows, "Jessica is a very attractive lady, isn't she?" He answered the question irrelevantly, but retained all possibilities.

Other reporters around also quickly discovered the situation here. Lance had been talking to big names like Robert Redford, and the reporters were not good at disturbing each other, so everyone surrounded other members of the "City of God" crew. Now, Lance and Jessica were sitting there for interviews, which immediately made the reporters flock in, like sharks smelling blood.

Philip let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked like a survivor's glad expression, "Jesus Christ, they are finally gone." Then he looked at the other friends around him, but found that everyone was looking in the direction of Reims, and he couldn't help but look over, "Wow, how did Mr. Strello do it!"

Even in the face of more than 20 reporters, they are still chatting and laughing and coping freely?

Alexander stood aside and whispered, "Because he is Mr. Strello."

"Lance, are you dating Jessica?" "Lance, is it possible for Jessica to become the heroine of your next work?" "Jessica, how long have you been dating Lance, and how did you meet?" "Jessica, are you in love with each other now? Are you here for Lance this time? "Lance, are you planning to officially open your relationship?"

The first thing the sharks smelled was always the smell of blood. Compared to "City of God", the scandal between Lance and Jessica is obviously more attractive.

Lance raised his hands and isolated a certain space between the reporter who surrounded him and Jessica, and then said seriously, "Please pay attention to the light, light! I will never allow the photos taken like this to appear in the newspaper." The unrelated words made everyone stunned, and then everyone burst into laughter, and even Jessica burst out laughing.

The reporters surrounded Lance and Jessica tightly, and even the air could not flow. But at this time, because of Lance's words, everyone began to disperse one after another, forming an encirclement in an oval fan shape. The reporter behind stood up, and the reporter in front sat cross-legged on the ground. The picture was really interesting.

Lance said again at this time, "Please show some respect for ladies and gentlemanly demeanor, okay?" Lance turned to look at Jessica beside him, curled her lips apologetically, and then looked at the reporter again, "Shouldn't the protagonist today be my and my movie? So, don't blur the focus, but put the focus of the question on the movie."

Lance did not respond to the reporter's speculation just now, and even skipped the scandal directly and attracted all his attention to the "City of God". This forced the reporters to temporarily put away the gossip and start professional interviews. "Lance, I heard that the film was filmed in Rio de Janeiro throughout the whole filming. Why is that?"

Lance also withdrew his attention and devoted himself to the answers to the questions. Jessica carefully buried the disappointment deep in her heart, took a deep breath, and focused herself on dealing with the reporter. However, the light of her eyes always floated towards Lance. The mixed mood of expectation and repulsion, excitement and resistance made Jessica feel a little worried.

No one noticed that Lance's left hand, which was placed on his knee crossed his legs, pressed his thumb hard on his index finger, releasing the tension little by little, and the right hand covering his left hand elegantly and perfectly concealed all of this, and no one found that this was the result of Lance's careful planning.

Inviting Jessica to the premiere is not a random choice. The last time I met unexpectedly in the Olive Garden, Lance had a constitution in his heart.

"City of God" is a movie with almost no gimmicks. From the perspective of commercial development, it is difficult to dig out too much value. This is also the fundamental reason why major distribution companies, including the Weinstein brothers, are deterred. In short, "City of God" is a work that no audience is willing to go to the cinema to watch. Even if you are lucky enough to win the Oscar for the best foreign language film, the development prospects of the movie in the video tape rental market are very limited.

But Lance, who was a man of two lives, knew that the box office was unpredictable, but he could grasp the pulse.

The reason why audiences enter the cinema is actually very simple. It is often just a gimmick, a curiosity, or even an impression. This is the reason why major film companies spend a lot of money during the promotional period. They need to plant a seed in the audience's mind. Maybe they have no interest in movies, but they only need to have an impression of the movie - it may be a poster with a wonderful design, a trailer with a good level, or an eye-catching slogan. Then when the audience enters the cinema, they may choose this movie.

This is a kind of consumption suggestive psychology.

The problem is that "City of God" has almost no gimmick to promote and hype, and there is not even a competent male or female protagonist to create topics. So, Lance made three preparations, the first one being Jessica Alba.

Unlike the three major European film festivals and the Toronto Film Festival, most of the journalists attending the Sundance Film Festival are more professional. They are very interested in scandals and scandals, and they will eventually return to the movie itself. However, a little bit of scandal is not harmful to the reporter's gossip nature, just like a dessert after meals. No, it won't make people angry; but with it, and the taste is good, it will indeed make the dinner perfect.

The scandal between Lance and Jessica is an excellent after-dinner dessert that allows the audience to remember and discuss.

However, Lance must grasp the right measure and not let the scandals scatter the main point, resulting in blurring the focus. The main course must be "City of God". So Lance just clicked until the end, flirted with the reporter a little, and then stopped when he saw the news.

"Thank you, thank you everyone." In the blink of an eye, forty-five minutes passed by the reporter's interview. Lance's talkative and humor made the passage of time insignificant. If the staff had not come to remind him that they had to prepare for the premiere of the next movie, the reporters probably wouldn't have thought of leaving.

Watching the reporters disperse, Lance turned to look at Jessica beside him, "Do I have the honor to invite you to have lunch with me?"

Jessica looked at Lance, who was still gentlemanly and graceful, but the danger alarm deep in her heart was already in chaos. She subconsciously grabbed the last trace of reason and blurted out, "No, I think it's better to be the next time."

Lance seemed a little surprised by Jessica's rejection and raised his eyebrows slightly, but he still maintained a good demeanor and nodded with a smile, "Then let's go next time. At least, please let me take you to the entrance of the cinema to complete the mission of the Flower Protection Messenger this morning."
