Lance was not surprised by Barry Mayer's appearance; to be honest, I didn't see Robert Eger tonight, but Lance was a little surprised. These large companies could not be indifferent to the rise of the "Raging Road". What's more, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is nominally a work created by Lance, so it is common sense to attend.

"Thank you for your compliment." Faced with Barry's greeting, Lance greeted him upright and said with a smile, "Mr. Mayer is so busy this summer. It is my honor to be able to take the time to attend the party." The more he was, the more empty he was. Lance's counterattack did not hide his sharpness at all.

But Barry's face had not changed, as if he had not heard the deep meaning in Lance's words, "Aren't you too? After the intensive and busy publicity, I originally thought you would enjoy the holiday, but look..." Barry turned slightly with a champagne glass, signaled to the audience, "We're here."

"I must admit that I have begun to regret holding this party. Tomorrow I have to face a large group of hangover guests, which is enough to make me experience a hangover headache." Since Barry was about to talk about the party, Lance said the party, and his relaxed tone still seemed polite and fulfilled his master's duties.

"Is that? I thought you would enjoy the relaxation of alcohol tonight, but now it seems that you don't drink much." Barry raised the wine glass in his hand, "By the way, forget to say, excellent champagne, the soft taste of the pinomoni in the Marne Valley of France is always intoxicating." Reims nodded politely and expressed his gratitude. Barry looked back at the noisy crowd in the room, his eyes fell on Lang not far away, and then said with a smile, "I brought a bottle of Ella's single mai Scotland today. How about it? Are you willing to find a place to try it with me?"

It is a very elegant custom to bring a bottle of good wine to visit, but it is not suitable for parties. The move of Barry to bring wine as a gift itself has some meaning. Now he has taken the initiative to invite Reims to taste wine together, which shows that Barry is releasing goodwill - and unlike in the past, he has also shown sincerity.

Reject, or agree?

Lance chuckled twice, "Of course." He agreed simply, "Please come with me, Scotland on Ira Island, it deserves a better place." Lance calmly led the way forward. When passing by the bar, Barry took out the whiskey he brought from the inside, followed Lance and left the main building of the villa, passed through the garden, and came to the other building to the west.

Walking into another building, it is a unique space, some similar to studios like studios, with a hint of warmth and comfort in their leisure time, and can also be used as a lounge for afternoon tea. In the center is a group of dark red sofas, surrounding a low nanmu table wrapped in gold and copper, revealing a peaceful retro atmosphere. Looking up, passing through the glass inside the room, you can see the flower room greenhouse behind, and through the moonlight you can see some faint green leaves and flowers.

In an instant, the noise and noise in the main building were isolated, as if they had arrived at a paradise.

"Sorry, it's a bit messy here." Lance showed the decent and politeness of a master. They have not yet figured out how to use this other building. They are temporarily used as Gao Wen's tactical room, so the desk next to them is scattered with information from each team in the new season. The room is also connected to the underground wine cellar. Lance brought Barry here.

"Haha, on the contrary, I like it more than the noise there." Lance found the wine glass from the wine cabinet, and then found the steaks and ice from the small refrigerator. Barry looked at the decorations around him carefully. Unfortunately, he did not see anything related to Lance's work. "After all, when he is old, the party seems to be no longer my business."

"Parties are part of Vanity Fair. Believe me, even after thirty years, you can still get out of the party with peace of mind." Lance walked to the sofa and sat down diagonally opposite Barry.

"Please, please allow me to serve you." Barry picked up the bottle of wine flowing in his hand and signaled politely. Lance naturally respected rather than obeying orders, so he leaned back on the back of the sofa chair, watching Barry start to open the bottle with familiarity, feel the fragrance of the wine, and finally poured the wine. He seemed to have no erect skills because he had always been at a high position.

"No, I don't need tartar." Seeing Barry's movement, Lance waved his hand, and then Barry added two ice cubes and handed the glass to Lance. "So, have you walked into the cinema to watch 'Superman Return'?"

Lance paused slightly when he picked up the wine glass. He was surprised that Barry went straight in one shot, but this was Barry's cleverness, isn't it? Lance raised his eyebrows and said straight, "No, I'm not interested." There was no politeness.

"That's great, I don't recommend you to watch it." Barry's response was very thoughtful. He chuckled softly, "Of course, if you have watched it, I look forward to you giving some advice. We don't know what happened. After all, those critics don't seem to be repulsive..." At this point, Barry paused for a moment, as if waiting for Lance to interrupt, but he saw that Lance had no intention of speaking and did not mind, and continued, "I couldn't help but start to wonder, what would happen if your script was adopted? What would happen if you directed it?"

"Haha, I think we will never have a chance to know." Lance said lightly, taking a sip, the bitter alcohol burned down his throat, and the rich fragrance burst out, making people unable to help but sigh, "Wow, this is indeed a good wine!"

"My wine merchant can breathe a sigh of relief." Barry picked up the wine glass and gave a tribute, raised his head and took a big sip, and gently lit his chin, making a sound of admiration. "So, are you going to find out?" With a headless sentence, Lance raised his eyebrows and showed a puzzled expression, "What will happen if you take the helm of the 'Return of Superman', or, in other words, Superman series."

As the helmsman of Warner Bros. His complacent expression had no flaws, as if he and Lance had never had a dispute over "Superman Return", and even more as if Warner Bros. had never tried to suppress Chaos Film; but at the same time, he put himself in a low position in a moderate manner, without apologizing, but it was better than apologizing, and his sincere intention to cooperate expressed his attitude.

"I thought you would put it aside for a while." Lance did not hide his surprise. Outsiders naturally had no way of knowing how serious the loss of "Superman Return" was, but the loss of more than 150 million yuan is certain, and even Warner Brothers dared not act rashly. This was the case in the previous life. The Superman series was shelved for a full seven years. If the Marvel Universe was not too profitable and jealous, it would probably take longer.

Barry spread his hands, "I think so too." Once again, Barry showed weakness in front of Lance, and admitted the loss of "Superman Return". Since the meeting today, Barry's flexible apology and friendly attitude in his words have been carried out throughout the whole process, "But if you are willing to take over, it is naturally a different matter." Barry looked at Lance's expression carefully, and then showed a big smile, "Don't rush to refuse, listen to my proposal, how about?"

Barry may know more about "Iron Man" than anyone else. Since Lance can create the DC universe, he can also create the Marvel Universe. Barry is not sure what stage of cooperation between Marvel Studios and Chaos Pictures, but at least it is certain that "Iron Man" will become the first step in good cooperation between the two parties, so now that Barry intends to poach, he must show enough sincerity.

"Billion dollars, produce five works to create the first part of the entire universe." It's true that Warner Bros., who speaks one billion, is not only rich, but also decisive. Especially this summer just passed, which caused Warner Bros. to suffer heavy losses, but Barry is so courageous. A wave of his hand makes a big project worth a billion. This decision is far more firm than Sony Pictures and Paramount. Only Disney can compare. "However, Batman has two works. We hope that these works can connect and promote each other, but these five works are fully entrusted to you. In addition to Superman, what superheroes are chosen, what styles are created, and what teams are used to complete the production..." Speaking of this, Barry raised the wine glass in his hand and paid tribute to Lance, "It depends on your decision."

In other words, Warner Bros. handed over the authority of the DC Universe to Reims.

Just a year ago, this was the cooperation that Lance dreamed of. He worked hard to achieve this goal. Now Barry is in front of Lance. As long as he nods, he will become the most powerful producer in Hollywood. It is no exaggeration to say that he has the ability to control one-third of the forces behind Hollywood. Imagine the producer, agent, public relations person, media person involved in a movie... Now it is not just a movie, but five works with a billion investment. This is definitely not a project that a small company without a background can initiate. Only a top large company like Warner Bros. has such courage and truly interprets the reality effect of "one moves the whole body".

The supreme authority is within reach of your hand.
