After Lance expounded his thoughts, he looked at Ian energetically, but Ian didn't respond immediately, just looked at him quietly, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, which made Lance chuckle, "What, do you think this plan is too incredible?" ”

With the current scale of Chaos Pictures, it can be said that it is a fool's dream to shake the entire Hollywood. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Lance knows this, and Ian knows this.

Ian chuckled and shook his head, "No, of course not. You know, I'm the craziest one in the family. "Ian has a gambler's passion in his bones, which is why he entered the financial industry. Considering Theo and Ian's choice when the four brothers were in a desperate situation, and thinking about Theo and Ian's reaction when Lance proposed to bet on the European Championship, it is enough to prove this, "I was just thinking, you really grew up. ”

Said it, Ian said it after all.

Lance lowered his eyelids, he couldn't lie, although he was still Lance, he wasn't the same Lance anymore, "So, is this a good thing or a bad thing?" The corners of his mouth sketched into a smile, self-deprecating and snarky.

"If you had a choice, I hope you never grow up." There was a hint of pain in Ian's words that could not be hidden, because he knew better than anyone what the price of growing up was, he had thought that he could protect Lance for the rest of his life, but now he finally understood that it was just an extravagant hope.

Lance was a little stunned, he didn't expect Ian's answer, and looked up at the sinking pain in Ian's eyes.

In the last life, because he didn't know how to face Theo, Ian and Gawain, he chose to escape, and fled far away to New York, even after being reborn, he chose to stay, but the fear in his heart never disappeared: if they knew that Lance was no longer a simple Lance, if they knew the secret of his rebirth and crossing...... So will they think of him as a monster? Will they continue to treat him as a younger brother? Will the tacit understanding between them disappear?

But at this time, Lance found the answer in Ian's eyes, and his nose was sour, which made him a little embarrassed, and he avoided his gaze in a panic, and the words came to his lips, but he didn't know what to say at all. Raising his head again, he saw Gawain leaning on the porch, Gawain with his hands crossed over his chest, with a big smile on his face, not mixed with any impurities, as if he remembered the first time he saw Gawain.

Lowering his eyes, Lance hid the turbulence and intricacies in his eyes, he once thought that there was no one to rely on in this world, and trust was an unattainable luxury for him. But apparently, he was wrong.

He was wrong. When I realized this, my mood began to fly, and for the first time, it turned out that I had made a mistake, but it felt so wonderful.

"So, would you like to support my new plan?" Lance spoke in a deep voice, trying to hide a tremor in his voice, took a deep breath, and then returned to his usual appearance, looking up at Ian and Gawain.

"Plans? It looks like you've already got a draft, so why don't you tell me about it? Ian leaned back in his chair, his posture more relaxed. Lance's trivial movements, he saw them all, he had known Lance almost all his life, these small movements were really familiar, he knew that this was his younger brother, the younger brother he had guarded all his life. Even if the vicissitudes of life, even if things are wrong, Lance is still the same Lance, the little guy who drools at the cake, and this has never changed.

Gawain felt Lance's gaze, so he also walked over to Ian and sat down, "Isn't it okay if Theo isn't there?" ”

"Looks like you're missing him." Lance's ridicule immediately made Gawain furious, and he wanted to stand up when he raised his leg, but Ian grabbed his right hand and pulled it hard, and the whole person fell back into the chair, Lance took out his mobile phone and dialed Theo's number, "Theo, I need to have a family meeting, and there are some plans that you need to discuss." ”

"Give me three minutes." After Theo finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, looking like he should be busy.

Between the three brothers' chat, there was a voice from the front door, and they looked at the sound, and then they saw Theo's figure striding over, but the three brothers were directly stunned, looking at each other, everyone's eyes were full of doubts, as if asking each other, "You invited Theo?" But all three shook their heads.

Theo was the only one dressed in a formal suit, but even in the heat of June, the cold aura on his body still did not change, Theo unbuttoned his suit, sat down next to Lance, his gaze lingered on Lance for a moment, and then he turned to look at Ian and Gawain opposite, "You can start." ”

"Uh, why are you here?" Ian interrupted the rhythm, and Theo replied lightly, "Vacation." Ian rolled his eyes directly, he asked Theo when he came over yesterday, Theo's answer at the time was "the company needs someone to be in charge", and in less than twenty-four hours, Theo came to Napa Valley, this is not talking nonsense.

He opened his mouth to refute, but his eyes fell on Lance, and then Ian understood.

Although Lance didn't say anything and didn't show anything abnormal, they could all feel the subtle changes in Lance's state after the bankruptcy of Diorama Pictures. It seems that Theo is also worried about Lance.

So, the words that came to his lips turned, "Lance just mentioned an idea...... Ian explained the matter briefly, and then turned to look at Lance, "Now, we are looking forward to Lance's plan." ”

The eyes of the three people shifted, and Lance was a little speechless for a while, but then he realized that he was not facing some big guys, and there was no need to be so nervous, so he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "No, I don't have a clear plan, I just have some ideas." ”

"I've been flipping through DC Comics for the last few months, you know that. I originally wanted to make DC Comics a universe with a series of movies to form a huge League of Legends, but Warner Bros. decided the idea was too risky and they turned it down. Lance recounted the matter in the most succinct terms, "I'm now thinking, if Warner Bros. doesn't want to, why can't we do it ourselves?" ”

Gawain and Ian exchanged glances, revealing a puzzled expression, and Theo was also lost in thought, but he only nodded his chin slightly and said in a deep voice, "Go on." ”

"That's how I think about it, if you want to grow into a big company like Warner Bros. or Disney and just rely on the film production department, obviously it's not going to work, and DreamWorks has proven it." With the elaboration, Lance's idea gradually became clearer, but he was not sure how feasible it was, so he needed the opinions of others, "Now we have developed the distribution department, and the trailer soundtrack department, and then we can also develop the screenwriting department to attract more reserve talents, but this is only the first step, if we can conceive according to our own ideas, and transform the comic work into a cosmic world." ”

"Starting with the development of the movie, then spinning into TV series and games, and even from the movie back to the comics, this is also an option, for example, an unknown hero is very popular, or a certain actor plays a hero who is very prominent, we can publish a matching comic book and expand the market." In fact, Lance has been thinking about these contents all along, but in the process of persuading Warner Bros. to build the DC Universe, in order to keep the hole cards, Lance never said it, but he didn't expect that it would now become the development plan of Chaos Pictures, "Moreover, we can also develop derivative markets for peripheral products based on the series of movies, and even theme parks, and develop them in all channels." ”

Lance looked at Ian, "The most profitable thing for a studio is never the movie itself, but the spin-off products brought by the movie, haven't you always said that?" "The reason why Hollywood's six major studios dominate the market, or the reason why DreamWorks has not been able to change the rules of the game, is actually the same reason: the capital chain.

The six major film companies rely on Wall Street's funds to form a huge media ********, although Wall Street can inject huge funds into them and become a strong backing, but Wall Street is also the supremacy of interests, it is impossible to take what they want, the film company itself is a money-making organization, and film or television is just one of the links. Take this link as the starting point or end point, and then produce the entire ecological product chain, continuously create profits, and form a deep-rooted and unshakable absolute advantage.

Therefore, when the works of the six major film companies face a fiasco, they can often reduce their losses or even break even through other ways and means. In the case of "Troy", after the box office fiasco, Warner Bros. recovered most of the cost through the overseas box office market and the video rental market, and in the case of Disney, they could even achieve the goal of recovering costs or generating profits by distributing merchandise and setting up projects in theme parks - "Pirates of the Caribbean" was created to attract visitors to the pirate program in theme parks.

But the fiasco of the "Sahara Cavalry" made Diora Pictures and Baldwin Pictures unable to resist.

With the addition of a distribution and production department, Chaos Pictures' trailer soundtrack and screenwriting departments will further enrich the company's framework, which also means that Chaos Pictures has the potential to become a full-fledged film company. But to develop from an ordinary film company to a top film company, it takes more than just money.

Now, Lance's answer is that the huge cosmic project built with comics as the core is vast and vast, but it is full of thorns. (To be continued.) )
