"Tom, you're crazy!" Although Wade still had a smile on his face, he waved his hands in the direction of Albert and Gao Wen, and greeted him friendlyly, the sound squeezed out from the cracks of his teeth was full of anger.

Lance stood beside him, but pretended not to hear him, and shifted his gaze with a smile.

Tom Cruise seemed very calm and pressed his hands down, "Calm down, Wade, calm down, I'm not in a hurry, why are you so excited?"

Wade still clenched his teeth and squeezed out words word by word, "That's because you don't know what you are doing!" Wade turned his head and looked at Lance, tugged out a smile, and a hint of help appeared in his eyes, "Lance, say something."

"Wade." Tom was really amused and exchanged a look with Lance. "Lance already understands what he means. What else do you want him to say? If you want to star in the show, you must cooperate with this publicity plan. I must use myspace and what...

"Facebook." Received Tom's gaze for help, Lance added that it was 2006 and social networks were far from rising. Twitter was just established, and even the prototype was not perfect, so their choices were very limited. But this will not affect the establishment strategy of the Marvel Universe. Taking the network as the basis, being close to the masses, increasing interaction, putting down the airs, and breaking the mystery will still be the mainstream publicity trend in the next ten years.

"Facebook." Tom nodded, smiled with a smile, and complained, "What's the name?" Then he continued, "I have to change all my previous image, learn to be funny, learn to make fun of myself, and throw away my burden. This is a deal. Either cooperate or exit."

"But there is still room for maneuver, right?" Wade turned to look at Lance and cast a gaze for verification.

Lance raised his eyebrows, "Wade, you know I don't like to compromise." The counterattack made Wade choke directly. The same sentence changed drastically in just six months. Now, no one in Hollywood dares to refute Lance's words head-on.

As Tom said, either cooperate or exit. Lance didn't care at all, they cared about them, and even the innovative artist agency had to bow his head.

"Wade, I told you that this guy is just a complete bastard." Tom said with a smile, feeling very relaxed.

Wade looked at Tom and Lance, and a feeling of powerlessness came to his face. The smile on his lips was filled with helplessness and bitterness. "But this is Lance's work. You know, no one wants to miss Lance's work, Jesus Christ. If he can participate in Lance's work, that guy Terence Cox is willing to kneel down and lick Lance's shoes!"

"Oh, Wade, you made me blush." ​​Lance's teasing made Wade speechless. Looking at Lance's smiling eyes, he couldn't help but shake his head, "Tom is right, you are indeed a bastard."

The topic they were chatting about was "Iron Man". After careful consideration, Tom decided to give up the opportunity to star in Tony Stark. After all, Tom's image project took a full twenty years to build, and any change must be very cautious.

In fact, Lance knows the future development trend, mysticism and perfect image are no longer popular. With the strong rise of social networks and smartphones, Hollywood stars have gradually come down from the altar and become a part of people's lives. They will cry and laugh, and they also have ordinary people's worries and their own shortcomings. Even old guys like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks who have been in the film industry for decades have to put down their airs and integrate into the masses.

But Lance also knew that change was a pain, which was simple to say but difficult to do. Starring in "Killing with a knife" was already a huge and extraordinary challenge. Tom needed time to repair his image. If he played "Iron Man" now, then the "style" that Tom has always valued will no longer exist. Therefore, Lance did not advise too much.

However, for Wade, giving up "Iron Man" would be a pain.

In the eyes of Hollywood industry insiders, Lance is now a magician with the ability to turn stones into gold. Cooperating with Lance means that it will never fail. There is a steady stream of news about "Iron Man". When Lance was still promoting the "Rampant Road" in Europe, Hollywood was already in a state of turmoil. The top agents of the five major agency companies have set their sights on this work - to be more precise, Lance, the complex situation of intertwined canine teeth tests the ability to withstand the heart. This year's "Mission Impossible 3" box office and reputation were not satisfactory, j-j-Abrams seemed to be a bit of a breath, and last year's "World War" was far from meeting expectations. If Tom could play "Iron Man"...

"Rumors say you won't be the director, is this true?" Wade was still unwilling to give up, trying to find another reason to convince himself: he did not give up a great opportunity.

"Is there any difference?" Lance's response made Wade choke.

Smiling and shook his head, Wade still replied, "The difference is very big, the producer is not the director after all." Although Chaos Pictures and Cole Greed never responded to the "Iron Man", there was still a lot of news leaked within Marvel Studios. What is certain is that the script creation of "Iron Man" was completed by Lance.

"Everyone has his own judgment in his heart, doesn't he?" Lance's answer was really intriguing.

If Lance only wrote the script of "Iron Man", then how valuable is the project? If Lance only served as the producer of "Iron Man", then how attractive is this project? People are willing to believe in Lance's talent, but to what extent? This is indeed worth thinking about.

Wade also heard the deep meaning of his words, and a hint of embarrassment slipped through his heart, but in a flash, he immediately realized that Lance was always hidden behind the scenes, maybe observing the movements of various forces. If this is true, does this mean that Chaos Pictures' future plan blueprint is not just "Iron Man"? Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly. Before Wade could go further, he spoke to Lance, "Does this mean that you have time to consider the question of "Mission Impossible 4"?" As if he noticed Lance's tendency to answer, Wade added, "At least you can think about it."

Although "Mission Impossible 3" is only released this summer, Paramount has no intention of talking about the sequel, not to mention that the final box office performance of the movie is difficult to satisfy. North America has 130 million and 260 million overseas. After calculating the global box office, this work with an investment of 150 million may suffer a loss of about 10 million. However, thanks to the accumulation of the series of works and Tom's appeal, videotape rental, TV station on demand and other peripherals can eliminate this loss. Even so, if Paramount restarts the sequel, it will take time to consider.

However, it is another thing for Tom. Naturally, he still hopes that this series can continue and become his brand. Now Tom is the producer of the series and has the power to kill the entire work. Wu Yu/Son in the second part and j-j-Abrams in the third part are both directors appointed by Tom. The reason is very simple. Tom must be the biggest brand of the entire crew. He does not want other directors or other actors to share profits, and he does not want other shining points to steal his own light. He must have control over the entire crew, so Tom always favors those not so famous partners. If it weren't for the risk of launching newcomers, Tom would not mind putting the "Mission Impossible" series in the hands of newcomers.

The reason for choosing Lance is very simple. He is quality assurance. With the box office performance of "Mission Impossible" and "Mission Impossible" gradually declining, perhaps Lance can save this series. Then in the fifth and sixth parts, Tom can choose the director again according to his own ideas.

Although Lance has limited understanding of Tom's ideas and Wade's abacus, he does not need to use other people's lights to choose works according to his own ideas. "Mission Impossible 4" is obviously not within his choice for a short period of time. "I can consider it because of Tom's friendship. But you know, the result will not change much."

Tom couldn't help laughing and patted Lance's arm, "You'd better pray, don't be found by me."

Unexpectedly, Lance stomped his feet, "Hey, my ankle should still be in its original position." This response made Tom and Wade immediately have three black lines on their foreheads, but they can't help laughing.

"So, have you selected the actors of "Iron Man" in your mind?" Wade pulled the topic back again, but his tone changed slightly from the moment. "If not for the time being, I think Ben Affleck is a good choice."

"Are you serious?" Lance didn't pause at all and just complained.

Wade raised his hands and surrendered, "At least I tried it." It can be seen that this should be a mandatory requirement within the agency of the innovative artist. From an objective perspective, Ben does have the characteristics of a superhero, and for superheroes, facial paralysis has no effect. Unfortunately, after offending Lance, this road should be blocked. "What do you think about it when you talk about it, James Franco, what do you think? In addition, we have a new face, Ryan Reynolds, who will come to the party tonight. If you want, you can meet them."

This is the real reason why Wade and Tom visited the door early. In the battle for "Iron Man", the innovative artist agency has already taken the lead by half a position. The competition has just begun to open, and the smell of gunpowder has begun to permeate.
