1011 Stay out of the way

He skillfully poured the car into the parking space, picked up his coffee from the passenger seat, opened the car door and walked out, and a battery golf cart drove over, "Hey, Mr. Strello, are you still here to work today?"

Looking back, Lance saw a familiar face, "Good morning Jason." Jason is the parking lot administrator and has been able to meet almost every day after working in Burbank for more than two months.

"Do you need to take you a ride? It's not far from Studio 13." Jason photographed the location beside him. Lance took a sip of coffee, without polite refusal, and sat up directly. "Not many people stayed in Burbank to work today." Jason said with a smile. Today is the Golden Globes Awards ceremony, and most of the entire shooting base has been cleared. Everyone is carefully preparing for this annual party.

Lance shrugged, "There are always people who want to work, right?" For example, Jason.

Jason realized it immediately and laughed, "Those annoying followers at the base gate don't think so." A large number of reporters gathered at the entrance of Burbank's shooting base, and everyone was watching Lance's every move. Obviously, they were all guessing whether Lance would make his debut at the last moment like last year's Oscar, but from the moment, the possibility seems unlikely.

Lance took another sip of coffee, not commenting.

Jason could notice that Lance seemed unwilling to talk deeply, but he could not give up easily. Even though he knew this, he still said, "So, are you sure you won't attend the party feast tonight?" Lance held the coffee and turned his head, and his eyes fell on Jason, which immediately put a lot of pressure on Jason. Lance did not like chatting, nor did he like to spy on the work of the crew inside the crew. This is well known to the Burbank Photography Base, but it is precisely because of this that news about Lance often sells for a large price, not to mention... "Sorry, sir, my friends and I have placed a bet, so I'm a little curious. Sorry." Jason explained in a mess.

Lance looked at Jason with a smile, and just as Jason was about to collapse, his eyes turned away, which made Jason breathe a sigh of relief. Then he heard Lance ask, "What have you bet?"

Jason thought he had heard it wrong, and was stunned for a moment. Lance repeated the question again, and Jason then realized, "Five hundred, you won't attend."

But Jason did not wait for Lance's answer, and someone next to him interrupted the conversation, "Lance, hey, Lance!" A figure ran over quickly and followed the golf cart parallel. Lance signaled, Jason slowed down the car, and the man stopped in a vigorous manner, "Jon wants to ask, have you read the three modified scenes? Do you have time to go to the crew today?" "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk" both worked at Burbank's photography base, and it took less than ten minutes to walk.

"I have revised the script. Go and ask Percy for it. I told him to go and take it yesterday. Today I don't have time, I can't go. There is a highlight here, which is probably going to be a little bit." Lance answered simply and then signaled Jason to continue moving forward. But before Jason stepped on the accelerator, Russell Crow and Josh Brolin who passed by came towards him. "Lance, you shouldn't be here today. Beverly Hills is waiting for you to appear." Josh's muffled words immediately attracted the attention of many people around him, and everyone stretched their ears.

Lance returned with a loud voice, "You shouldn't be here today, Chevat is on vacation, are you sure you don't have to take a vacation?" Chevat Eggford, he and Russell, and Josh are filming Ridley Scott's "American Gangster", but Chevat won the nomination for Best Actor in Music Comedy, so they're on vacation today. "Or are you waiting for the invitation from the Losers Club?"

Russell and Josh both raised their middle fingers and responded to Lance, causing a chuckle to sound around him. Lance ignored it and turned around to signal Jason, and then the car started moving again.

The golf cart was driving on the wide and flat avenue of the photography base. Since there were no shoulders on both sides, pedestrians came and went, and it was very lively and the speed could not be raised. You could see Catherine Zeta Jones standing on the side of the road from afar. He raised his hand to try to stop Jason, but Lance patted Jason's arm and signaled him not to stop, and then shouted to the direction where Catherine was, "I'm in a hurry, next time." The car passed by Catherine swayingly.

Catherine jumped up depressedly, "Damn Lance! You still owe me a cooperation!" She originally thought she had hope of playing "Iron Man", but Rachel McAdams snatched the opportunity, which really made Catherine very depressed.

Jason turned around and looked at Catherine who was gradually moving away, and his eyes closed and fell on Lance in shock. Especially when he looked at Lance's calm and calm face, he was even more surprised. However, Lance ignored his plans at all and just drank coffee leisurely. To be precise, almost everyone was greeting Lance along the way, and greetings were heard one after another, which reminded people of when Hollywood's Golden Age production company was still covering the sky with only one hand. The top producers were the well-deserved king on the set. However, after the antitrust bill was released, such a golden age was gone forever.

The golf cart stopped at the door of Studio 13, and a group of workers loading and unloading props diagonally opposite the door of Studio 15, whistling, "Golden Globe Awards", "dinners", "beauties" and other jokes are endless. It is no exaggeration to say that the whole Hollywood is paying attention to Lance's dynamics, newspapers, media and film companies are only part of it, so people working in the industry are more or less paying attention to this drama. If Lance refuses to attend the Golden Globe Awards again, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will be really embarrassed. Even the new film history box office champion missed the award ceremony. Why is the Golden Globe Award the number one grand event in the United States?

Lance still ignored them. After getting out of the car, he patted Jason on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The bet is better to double." After that, Lance turned around and left.

Jason sat in the driver's seat, stunned for a moment, suddenly understood and immediately smashed the steering wheel excitedly.

When he walked into the No. 13 studio, he saw Albert, who was confirming his itinerary today. He heard the greetings at the door, looked up at Lance, and shouted, "Lance, wait." Then he explained to his assistant again, "Okay, give this itinerary to the assistants of the starring actors." Then he quickly chased after him, "The motion capture technology scene that Edward tested last time has come out, and it is still a bit distorted. It feels better to use computer special effects to make it directly. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Where is the video?" Lance did not answer Albert's question. Motion capture technology is still a new thing in Hollywood, and the general public opinion believes that it is a technology that has no effect. Except for Robert Zemegis, few people value this technology.

Lance knew that the motion capture technology is still not mature enough and could not achieve the effect of fake and real, but the current technological development has reached that Lance's conception eyes are no longer dead fish eyes like computer special effects, but can truly convey the performance details of the actors. Even the details of the expressions can also show delicate changes. Although it is still slightly distorted in the overall picture, it has made a small progress compared to the "King Kong" period. In the present of 2006, it was enough to shock the audience.

Albert also knew that no one could change Lance's idea, so he sighed lightly, "At Hayden, he felt that the camera position and lighting coordination could still be improved..." Before he finished speaking, Lance had already taken steps towards where Hayden was.

Edward Norton sat on a chair and flirted with the script seriously. A commotion came from his ears. He subconsciously raised his head and looked over the staff's sight. Then he saw Lance's figure even inside the "Invincible Hulk" crew, he was speculating today whether Lance would attend the Golden Globe Awards. In fact, as long as Lance was willing, he could hand over today's shooting work to the deputy director. It would not delay the shooting progress, nor would he miss the ceremony. There were countless solutions to the parties close by. But unexpectedly, Lance appeared on the set in person, which also means that the Golden Globe Awards were once again released.

Withdrew his gaze, Edward saw Naomi Watts and JK Simmons's surprised expression, but Edward showed a bright smile, "We shouldn't be surprised, aren't we?" This is not the first time that Lance has ignored the mainstream Hollywood media. Not to mention the Golden Globes, even the Oscars were almost ignored last year. Since Woody Allen, Lance has definitely been the first thorny head to be so incompatible with the mainstream media.

I turned to look at the studio where the work was being carried out in an orderly manner. The main team of the crew of "Invincible Hulk" was composed of the Lance royal team, and then absorbed some new employees. Looking at the veterans, they looked extremely calm, as if the Golden Globe Award had nothing to do with them at all. Such a professional and so calm person is indeed completely different from other crews.

Edward put the script on the table, stood up, and said to Naomi and JK, "I plan to go over and discuss today's shooting with Lance. Where are you?" Naomi immediately stood up. JK was still hesitant, but still stood up restrainedly. Edward smiled, "Today is just a normal day. The crew work is what we need to pay attention to, there is no difference."
