836 Fun Ideas
Lance didn't plan to rush, after all, Chaos Pictures' ultimate goal is to acquire Marvel Studios, not just collaborate with Marvel Studios for a few movies. Today he met Kevin for the first time. He didn't understand Kevin's ambitions or Kevin's idea of the Marvel Universe, so Lance didn't have the idea of showing off all the trump cards in one breath.
Of course, most importantly, Lance's choices are increasing and initiative is becoming stronger and stronger.
Lance's retention is not surprising to Kevin. The whole Hollywood knows that all Chaos Pictures has invested all funds in the "Raging Road". This work claims to cost 200 million US dollars. With no movement in both Wall Street and Silicon Valley, Chaos Pictures can actually promote the shooting of this project, which is enough to make countless insiders in the industry curious. However, it is certain that before the "Raging Road" is released, every decision of Chaos Pictures will inevitably be more careful. Therefore, Lance's caution in the investment of "Iron Man" is reasonable.
Kevin didn't expect Lance's ambition at all.
"Of course." Kevin showed a bright smile. "Tonight is a carnival moment. Let's put our work aside for the time being and enjoy the rare moonlight." Putting down the plate in his hand, Kevin picked up two glasses of champagne and handed one to Lance. "Please forgive my misogynistic. I have not congratulated you yet. Congratulations on winning two Little Golden Men again tonight."
Lance took the champagne glass, raised it politely, and said with a smile, "I hope our next cooperation will go well." In a simple sentence, only Lance himself knew the profound meaning.
Afterwards, Kevin did not talk about business again, and talked to Lance about the beautiful woman in the swimming pool just now. Lance tacitly understood. Although everyone in Hollywood knew this method, Jiang Taigong's fishing volunteers took the bait. As long as someone was willing to sell, the customers who were willing to buy would never disappear.
"...Sorry, please forgive me for being out of company. I saw an old friend and needed to say hello." A figure was captured in the light of my eyes, so Lance interrupted Kevin's words and apologized politely.
Kevin turned his head and looked at Lance's gaze, then saw Cate Blanchett's figure. A dark purple silk dress looked noble and elegant. She slowly walked into the party scene. It seemed that she had just arrived at the scene. "Oh, of course there is no problem, please." Kevin showed a meaningful smile and moved away from the position.
After Lance nodded politely, he took a step towards Kate's position. Kevin stood there, stunned. If he remembered correctly, according to the media, Lance was dating Scarlett Johnson now, then... Kevin's eyes couldn't help but fall on Lance's back, watching his calm pace, and couldn't help but feel a little envious. A handsome, talented, and majestic man like Lance can definitely be said to be a call for the wind and rain in Hollywood. I'm afraid no one can resist his charm, even if a married lady, even if Lance is dating.
Walking along the swimming pool, Lance stopped and paid silence to Kate and Will Smith who were talking. Kate had already captured Lance's figure in his eyes, but she seemed to have not noticed it. Will, who was facing away from Lance, naturally could not find it. The two of them talked for a long time, and finally Will noticed the famous film critic Mira Lasaler not far away and took the initiative to say goodbye. Kate then "free".
Kate glanced at Lance, then looked around, as if confirming who Lance was waiting for, and confirming that there was no one else around. Kate then cast a look of surprise at Lance, "So, is this honor for me?"
The exaggerated expression made Lance smile, walked forward, and made a standard knight's gift, "Beautiful lady, do I have this honor to invite you to take a walk?"
"Dog/shit, you're embarrassing me." Kate cursed and swearing without giving face, then patted Lance on the shoulder, "This trick of cheating women doesn't work for me. I told you that you are not the type I like. You know Andrew, you know my preferences." Andrew Upton, Kate's husband.
"Not that cunning type." Lance's answer made Kate raise his chin and cast an interest-filled gaze, then slightly lit his chin, "Not that asshole type, but... it's very close." Lance's mouth outlined a shallow curve and shrugged his shoulders to express his admission, "I can use a glass of whiskey now, you know, this occasion always makes me feel chest tightness." After that, Kate took a step away from the lively area of the swimming pool, and walked around the back of the beach chair, heading towards the drinking area.
Lance followed the pace, walked side by side with Kate, thought carefully, and finally swallowed all the miscellaneous words and said simply, "Thank you."
In the past awards season, Kate really stood up for Lance and even expressed his position as absent from the Oscars. Lance never believed that even Tom Cruise could find friends in Hollywood, without the glory of "killing with a knife", their friendship could not reach its current level. It is precisely because of this that Kate's righteousness became more and more rare.
Kate glanced at Lance, "I think this is what I deserve." He accepted the thanks for his own sake, which made Lance laugh easily, "But to be honest, I, the bystander, missed the Oscar, but you, the person involved, appeared. God, when you appeared on the red carpet, my agent and public relations called me at the same time, bombarded me with some wild bombing, and finally I had to stuff my phone under the sofa." Kate rolled his eyes without any shame, "But this still did not stop them from rushing into my apartment and demanded that I attend this party, Jesus Christ, they were simply robbers."
"..." Impressing that Lance seemed to have a plan to open his mouth, Kate said seriously, "I heard that attendance is the last minute decision?" Lance pursed his lips and shrugged again, "That's right." Kate gritted his teeth viciously, "Preferred."
Lance burst out laughing, "To be honest, you don't want to attend the Oscars, so use me as an excuse, right?"
This rebuttal made Kate stunned, opened his eyes wide and tried to argue, but when he saw Lance's affirmative look, he turned his head embarrassedly, "Hey, I just think this occasion is too boring. It's better to spend time with my children at home or study the script on the set."
Kate is also a famous rebel in Hollywood, but she is smarter. She knows what to say, when to shut up, what occasions to attend, and what occasions to be strong. In fact, such people are the most free and easy, because she knows how to play the rules and how to enjoy freedom.
"It seems that you have confirmed the plan for the next work?" Lance changed the subject half-jokingly. True friendship does not require too much politeness, and excessive etiquette is itself a kind of alienation.
He picked up a glass of whiskey and threw two ice cubes. Kate signaled Lance. Lance shook his head. Kate didn't hesitate and took a big sip. "No, in fact, I plan to take a break and adjust recently, and completed two works in a row. Then in July, two works will start filming at the same time, so during this period, I don't plan to take on work."
"Two parts? At the same time?" Lance raised his doubts in surprise.
"Oh, one is just a supporting role, and I will play Bob Dylan with several other actors." Kate raised his eyebrows and looked at Lance, "In the movie, there will be six different actors to play Bob Dylan. How about it? This is a bold idea? As a director, what do you think?"
Lanstruh's chin thought carefully for a while, "I haven't read the script, I'm not sure. Maybe the director wants to express Bob's different personality, different appearance and different styles in this way, but this way is too stream of consciousness, it depends on how the director wants to control it. If it is a 'fatal id' method, it's an interesting attempt."
"'Faith id'?" Kate obviously hadn't seen this niche work.
"A work that explores the split personality is very interesting," Lance briefly introduced, "But if it were me, I wouldn't shoot it like this. Because the anatomy is too profound and the personality is too independent, it can easily blur Bob's own concept, and the director's position is too clear. Of course, as an experimental film, this is a good idea."
Kate shook his head gently, "I always feel that the ideological circuits of directors and actors are completely different, which also makes me confirm again that I am an actor, a pure actor." Kate looked Lance up and down, "So I can't understand you even more, how did you do it?"
"Become a bastard?" Lance's response made Kate roll his eyes, and Lance chuckled, "I just thought of a proposal. It seems like a good idea to have you play, but now it seems that your schedule may not be available."
"Work with you?" Kate said curiously, Lance nodded and affirmed, "Are you an actor or a director?"
"At least we can confirm the director." Lance answered concisely and clearly.
"It's very interesting." Kate savored it carefully. "What kind of work is it and what kind of character it is? I think at least my agent can rest assured that my absence is due to something, especially the sign "Lancelot-Stralo" that he probably can't sleep tonight."
