844 Busy state

Sebastian Derek wiped the sweat from his forehead. The early spring Los Angeles sun could already smell the hot restlessness. The light penetrated the cloudless sky and fell unscrupulously, making people dizzy. When he opened the car door, a warm wave of air came to his face, and another thin layer of sweat oozed out of Sebastian's forehead. I really don't know what the heat will be like this summer.

Looking up, Sebastian noticed that several gazes were cast in the surrounding corners. With a casual scan, you could see at least the paparazzi hiding his own tracks in four corners. They obviously did not come for Sebastian, so they cast their gazes and then returned to peace again.

Sebastian took out his handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked quickly towards the indoor direction. After climbing the third floor stairs, he had to stop and adjust his breathing. A low laugh came from a short distance, "Didn't you say you want to start a diet recently? Why do I feel your weight is still increasing?"

Without looking up, Sebastian knew that the owner of the voice was Percy - Percy, who was usually cold, was much more approachable in front of his real friends. He was not angry, but just laughed, "The diet plan will only start next week, next week."

"Man, I'm serious. You need to pay attention to your heart." Percy was joking, but he expressed his concerns.

Sebastian was already breathing at this time and nodded with a smile, "I know, I know."

"You're looking for Lance? Lance is working..." Percy pointed to the editing room behind him. Since the end of the Oscar, Lance has been engaged in the post-production of "Rampant Road", forgetting to eat and sleep, and focusing on it. As he said before, "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk" were temporarily put aside because he knew the importance of this work.

Once the "Raging Road" fails, it will lead to a big loophole in Chaos Film's capital chain, which will not only affect the operation of the "Iron Man" or "Invincible Hulk" projects; worse, if there is a change in the ongoing short projects in Ian and the temporary withdrawal of funds will be needed, they will fall into a situation where there is no working capital and no things to mortgage, and all previous investments will fail.

Of course, Lance has always prepared an alternative plan - if the B-level debt is too high, they will start to be A-level shorts and transfer the damage. But even so, they still need enough funds to support it. Simply put, before the real estate market really collapses, you must grit your teeth and persevere, otherwise you will lose all your money. Don’t talk about Marvel Studios at that time, if you accidentally lose all your money.

So, Lance focused all his energy on the post-production of "Rampage Road".

"But he will go to Burbank in thirty minutes, you can wait for him here with me..." Percy explained, but Sebastian waved his hand and denied Percy's speculation.

"I'm here to find you." Sebastian's answer stunned Percy, and asked curiously, "Is there anything to ask me?"

"Well, Jonathan Gerrard of 'Vanity Fair' made an appointment for an interview with Emma." Sebastian summarized it in the simplest sentence, and Percy immediately reacted, "Jonathan Gerrard, that old fox." Sebastian nodded and affirmed, "He wants to interview Emma, ​​this opportunity is really too rare. I know he is definitely not for Emma. The 'Rampage Road' is, but I can't refuse."

Jonathan obviously wants to dig out more inside stories about the "Raging Road" from Emma. In the "Raging Road" crew, Emma is one of the main characters, with enough weight, but she is not as important as Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron; at the same time, Emma is currently directed by Lance, and she also walked the red carpet with Lance, with a lot of personal relationships. By choosing Emma as a breakthrough, you can see Jonathan's cleverness - as Sebastian said, even though he knew this was a trap, he could not refuse. Whether it was "Vanity Fair" or Jonathan's interview, this was crucial for the fledgling Emma.

"Has he sent a list of questions?" Percy was obviously no stranger to this.

Sebastian nodded, "I looked at it, there was nothing special. I guess he would definitely break out of the frame during the interview. After all, Emma is not Lance." Then we will see Emma's on-site reaction.

"Look at the problem, at least you can find some clues." Percy was completely familiar with it.

"Well, that's what I think, so I come here to find you." Sebastian took out a piece of information from his briefcase, which was three pages. Seeing Percy's surprised expression, Sebastian laughed, "I know, I think this is too exaggerated." For a newcomer like Emma who has only filmed two works, there is no need to have so much interview content. Even if the entire history of wealth is over, there is no need to be three pages.

Percy took the information and shrugged, "At least it means he is ready, even if he is a scam." This teasing made Sebastian laugh. Before reading it, Percy said directly, "Lance and Jonathan have had two dealings. He is very smart. He doesn't like to ask the matter to the end. He prefers to ask half of it, leaving room for imagination, and then fill it out by himself."

This is also the reason why Sebastian came to ask Percy. As Lance's assistant, all of Lance's interviews will be reviewed, even more carefully than his agent Cole. At the same time, Percy will also be present at most of the interviews at Lance, which is also an advantage that Cole does not have.

"What does it mean?" Sebastian looked confused.

Percy put the information on his knees. "During the promotional period of 'Sin City', Jonathan interviewed Cliff Irving and asked him about his feelings about joining the crew at the last minute. At that time, Cliff said, "A little surprise, a little surprise, but more nervous, because Lance is a very excellent director." Sebastian chewed it carefully and nodded to express his affirmation. Although such an answer was polite, it was better than strict. "Later, Jonathan said in the report that Lance was domineering within the crew, saying the same thing, and the actors were not allowed to give opinions. Ben Affleck was kicked out of the crew because of this."

"What?" Sebastian felt that the jump was too fast and he couldn't react. "How did he come to this conclusion?"

"Because Jessica Alba said in the interview that the performance pressure was huge; Eva Green also said that she rarely communicated with Lance on the crew." Percy's words made Sebastian widen his eyes. This was not only taken out of context, but also made wild imaginations, which was simply unpredictable. Percy smiled and patted Sebastian on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Lance never reads the interview of Vanity Fair, and he doesn't care. I think you should focus on Emma, ​​after all, this is her first interview in a large-scale magazine. It's very important to create what kind of image."

Suddenly, the door of the workroom behind him opened. Percy and Sebastian stopped to discuss, turned their heads together, and saw Reims walking out.

When Lance saw Sebastian, he was a little surprised and subconsciously looked back without seeing the figure he imagined. Then he withdrew his gaze, nodded and greeted Percy, "The frame I wrote before is placed next to the typewriter in the study. You go back and get it, send it to Theo, and tell him that this is only the first stage." Percy immediately reacted, which was talking about the first stage of the Marvel Universe.

After saying that, Lance was about to close the door, but Percy called him, "But you are going to Burbank later, what should I do if I don't have a car?" Starting last week, Chaos Pictures officially started shooting the third wave of viral videos. Such viral videos do not have much technical content, so naturally Lance does not need to be in charge. However, the first wave of videos next week will be officially released. Before going online, Lance still needs to confirm the overall quality and perform his own producer duties as a convention.

Lance waved his hand indifferently, "This is Los Angeles." He was not worried about his traffic problems at all, but before he could close the door, Sebastian said first, "I will go to Burbank later, I can drive." He looked at Lance, "Emma is going to shoot a viral video today."

This wave of viral videos, including Gisele Bundchen, will also participate in the shooting, which is a variant of the trailer. Not only them, Albert Allen also found a model agency and invited a total of 16 top models to join the project.

Emma Stone... The figure in Lance's mind immediately emerged, and he subconsciously raised his eyes, but after realizing his movements, he quickly lowered his eyes and nodded, "That's it." After that, he closed the door of the room hard and started working again.

"Then I'll trouble you." Generally, driving is not the turn of a broker. It's completely the job of an assistant or a professional driver. Sebastian is an agent, and he is not a Lance's agent, so Percy still took the initiative to express his gratitude.

Sebastian waved his hand with a smile, "It's just the way. Then you can go and do it quickly. Lance should be anxious about things, otherwise he won't interrupt his work."

"I will take Jonathan Gerrard's interview list first. After reading it, I will call you and let's communicate." Percy raised the information in his hand and said with a smile. He was not polite anymore. "Then I will leave first." He walked quickly to the stairs, and suddenly thought of something. Percy turned around again, "There are at least six groups of paparazzi downstairs. Pay attention when you go out. They are a little too enthusiastic recently."
