"That's for sure, that's for sure!" Gao Wen waved his fists excitedly, stood up and hugged Ian, and then kissed Ian hard on the cheek. Unprepared Ian caught him off guard and rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Gaven-Stralo!" But Gao Wen didn't care at all. In terms of brute force alone, Ian could only accept the disadvantage.

Looking at Lance who was gloating opposite, Ian said lightly, "Gaowen, isn't Lance what you really should be grateful for? Our funds have doubled in Lance's hands, otherwise you can't afford a Malibu mansion with your hard-earned money."

"Ian!" Before he could finish his words, Lance realized that something was wrong, but he tried to push the chair away and fled in panic. The first time he didn't push, but it was too late after the second time. Gao Wen turned around with a quick look. Lance had no idea how Gao Wen did it, and it was so fast from the other side of the table to this side. So Lance simply gave up resistance and sat in the same place with a heart of silence. Gao Wen hugged Lance tightly and kissed him hard on the cheek.

Lance rolled his eyes and said calmly, "What should you do if there is one Theo left?"

Theo raised his head and looked at Gao Wen coldly. He suppressed Gao Wen firmly with his eyes. Gao Wen scratched his head, "Hehe, it's just a joke, a joke." After that, Gao Wen retreated and sat back again. Then Theo turned his eyes to Ian and looked coldly. Ian coughed gently, swallowed all his words, and waved his hand quickly, "I have no objection, no." As if he was worried that this was not enough, he took the initiative to change the topic, "Theo told me about the Marvel Universe just now, and I have reorganized my thoughts."

Lance's meaningful eyes made Ian widen his eyes, as if threatening, "Shut up!" He was afraid that after he failed to change the topic, he would face Theo's iceberg's sight again. "I think things were divided into two steps. The first step was the project of "Iron Man". Didn't they hope you can create the script? You can complete the script first and then discuss cooperation with them. The second step is to mention the concept of the Marvel Universe, just like the Warner Brothers' negotiations at the beginning, but this time we took the initiative and we refused to accept "no" as the answer."

Lance nodded. He was willing to make concessions and compromises in this negotiation. However, this compromise is conditional. The first phase of the Marvel Universe cooperation is the ultimate goal. The core of the script creation of "Iron Man" is controlled by the Marvel Entertainment Creative Committee. However, this negotiation process is a game between the two parties, and skills and strategies must be paid attention to.

"If it goes well, when are you going to start shooting? How much budget do you need?" Ian returned to the topic he was most familiar with. This is not just a transfer topic, it was something Ian must understand - because the current liquidity in Chaos Pictures's accounts is really pitiful.

"Don't worry," Lance waved his hand with a smile. Although he did not know the company's accounts in detail, he also knew that Chaos Pictures is now overdrawing the future, and the plan must be carefully and thorough. "Even if I get the story outline, I must first focus on the post-production of the 'Raging Road', which is the top priority. Then I will enter the script creation, communicate and cooperate with them, and then the 'Raging Road' will be released and promoted... If I want to determine the entire project, at least after the summer vacation is over."

Although the script of "Iron Man" is not that difficult and obscure, it is still not easy to create. If it is fast, it will take about two to three weeks, and if it is slow, it is possible. Moreover, the script was not completed after Rance was created. Next, the game is the difficult part.

"As for filming, it will be October at the earliest. If there is a problem with the selection of actors, it is possible to push it to the end of the year." I heard last night that the "Iron Man" project is equivalent to starting from scratch. Lance does not have a clear concept. Everything is just speculation. But what is certain is that "Iron Man" is originally a commercial film, and the preparation process is impossible in a few months. What's more, this movie has maintained negotiations for the entire Marvel Universe, and the progress will not be too fast. Of course, once the cooperation agreement is reached, the preparation speed of the movie will be accelerated.

"Cost?" Ian once again emphasized this key issue.

"It's about 100 million to 150 million." Lance gave an estimate, and the same was true for the "Raging Road" at the time.

After so many trials, Ian had long been accustomed to it, and just nodded lightly, "I understand." After the summer vacation ended, this means that he still has at least five months to prepare, and such a pace is acceptable.

While speaking, Theo's cell phone on the desktop vibrated. Theo picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID, answered the phone, and walked towards the hall, "Good morning, this is Theo."

Ian once again turned his eyes to the newspaper and asked casually, "Do you want to see the newspaper today?" A playful smile appeared on his face, "All the media were in a mess."

Gao Wen sat next to him and nodded vigorously, his face filled with incomparable excitement, "It's simply a mess in the world. Those shameless white/butt/tenders were scolded so badly, and even the ghost reporters' association was criticized and fought. Haha, they finally know the feeling now."

The 78th Oscars came to an end last night, but the aftermath of the turmoil has just begun. Today's major news has set its sights on the Oscars and brought the academy to the arena of criticism. The scene is simply too lively.

"Shame Record: The first best film in sixty-five years that only received two Little Golden Man's Best."

"Who is the victory of the 'car crash'? The self/orgasm of white conservative forces? The self-burial of Hollywood's complicated and ill-inducing disease? Or the moral benchmark that collapses in the face of racist criticism?"

"Ugly! The failure of Brokeback Mountain, the missed "Fruit Hard Candy", the ugliest event in Oscar history."

"'Brokeback Mountain' became the sacrifice sheep of conservative and prejudicial forces, the 'Fruit Hard Candy' became the sacrifice sheep of the elite alliance, and the 'Crash' became the winner of the power game - but is this victory really worth celebrating?"

"Upset! Shocking!'Crash' topped the Oscar - but even the judges of the college themselves are ashamed of such a result."

"The shame of the college judges: we chose a work that we didn't even like."

"Lancelot Strello made history: he won the first person in the same evening as the screenwriter and actor Little Golden, but missed the best director Little Golden, for the third time in a row. Is he William Wheeler or Alfred Hitchcock?"

"Hollywood-style tragedy: He won his love but lost their future; he won the world but lost the Little Golden Man - 'Brokeback Mountain'."

"Trastic! The 'car crash' knocked out two little golden men, but the biggest winner that night was 'Brokeback Mountain' - three little golden men. Or, there is no winner?"

"Why does the 'car crash' defeat Brokeback Mountain' and 'Fruit Hard Candy' to the top? This is a question mark in everyone's mind."

"A self-written drama in Hollywood? From the Golden Globes to the Oscars, the shock hidden behind the incredible."

...

Almost all media were amazed at this result. Because there were too many focuses, they didn't even know where to start. One front page headline is no longer enough, with blowout points one after another, and one after another. All reporters rolled up their sleeves and started to create in the entertainment page. It seemed that every media was comparing with each other to see who had a deeper criticism and who had a sharper complaint. Just collecting the newspapers of mainstream media can clearly see the bad situation of the college now, and even if it was pointed out by thousands of people, it seemed too slight.

Even as the college's base camp, the Los Angeles Times unceremoniously described last night's award ceremony as "a disaster". In the comments, it pointed out that the so-called "college public relations" has lost its true nature under the involvement of interests and has become a carrier of rights struggle and interest distribution.

I don’t know what perspective will the latest episodes of “Variety Shows” and “Hollywood Reporter” report.

Lance shook his head with a chuckling and rejected Ian's invitation. "I can imagine it." The result of this Oscar was definitely not something that Lance could have created by himself. It was caused by the mutual restraint and entanglement between all parties. It can be imagined that in the next period of time, both within the academy and within Hollywood, there will be some turmoil. "Believe me, next time I am in trouble, the same group of media will be the first to take the blame."

For example, the summer season results of the "Raging Road".

"Lance, find your phone number." Theo just stayed in the hall for a while, then walked back and handed over his cell phone. Lance looked over with a look of surprise, "I?" Why did he call Theo?

Theo whispered, "Long Mayer." The CEO of Universal Pictures, "I'll let him talk to you about the cooperation project." With a few simple keywords, Lance understood. Lang should have asked Theo to discuss cooperation with the new project - Theo now represents Chaos Pictures, but Theo directly reposted the phone.

But Universal Pictures? This is the second sixth contact with Paramount after Paramount. Less than twelve hours after the end of the Oscars, they expressed their positions with such a positive attitude. In other words, the Hollywood Blockade League has completely collapsed.

Although Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox and Universal did not directly participate in the blockade, their wait-and-see attitude is itself a kind of support. Now, Paramount and Universal have taken the lead in breaking the shackles and extending an olive branch to Lance. This is the first time that the six majors have extended an olive branch since September last year. No matter what the project is, the most difficult time has been spent.
