Lance sat cross-legged in the hotel room, surrounded by sketches and drawings, and when he looked at the past, there were at least two or three hundred, and the living room of the room was completely full, even on the sofa and coffee table, and there was no place to stay.

Percy pushed open the door of the hotel room and saw this scene directly, standing in the doorway, skillfully taking off his shoes and carefully stepping on them with his socks on. In the past five days, Lance has spent most of his time locked himself in his hotel room, and began to hand-draw the storyboard of "Mad Max 4" in retreat, however, Lance was not professional enough, and was only responsible for basic sketches when he was in "Sin City" before, and this time is no exception, Lance mainly hopes to express the image in his mind in the form of painting, and then hand it over to a professional painter to complete the storyboard, and things will be much simpler. Because of this, Lance painted so many scraps, which became more and more exaggerated day by day, almost flooding the hotel room.

Percy stood two paces away from Lance, moved out a small clearing, and looked left and right, "Are you sure you don't need my help?" The storyboard of Sin City last time was written by him and Edgar Snow with the assistance of Lance.

"Oh, no." Lance simply refused, without further explanation.

However, as Lance's assistant, Percy naturally knew what Lance was planning, so he didn't argue, "I think you can explain it verbally to the painters, and their greatest ability is to transform empty words into vivid images, isn't it?" Lance didn't react at all, and Percy gave up, "This was handed over by George Clooney himself. ”

Lance's action in his hand paused, "Good night, good luck" was about to be released, and George's recent actions have begun to become more frequent. However, since Lance was in New York and George was in Los Angeles, the three-hour time difference avoided a collision between Lance and George in advance. Three days ago, George made a special phone call to invite Lance to attend the internal screening of "Good Night, Good Luck", but Lance still refused under the pretext of Gawain.

Even if Lance didn't explain too much, the recent rumors in the circle George were also clear, not only did he not force it, but he also comforted Lance in turn, telling Lance not to be too anxious, and things would be fine. Lance knew that during the period when "Good Night, Good Luck" was about to be released, George naturally wanted to reassure him as much as possible so that he would not act rashly. Therefore, Lance also sold George's favor and spit out bitterness, and it seems that the friendship between the two people has become deeper.

Looking up, Lance took something from Percy's hand, an invitation from the inside and a white envelope. The black invitation is very delicately designed, and it can be seen that a lot of effort has been spent, and the paper of the invitation is not ornate and noble, but the internal report printing paper often used in the journalism industry in the forties and fifties of the last century, which is coarser and thicker than the paper of today; And the content of the invitation has no superfluous words, only the classic sentence, "Good night, good luck".

Lance immediately understood George's intentions. "Good night, good luck" is not only a classic phrase from Edward R. Morrow; At the same time, such a simple sentence also alludes to Edward's struggle against Joseph McCarthy in the fifties, at a time when any superfluous words could be interpreted as "red" tendencies, leading to McCarthy's repression and persecution; The most important thing is the minimalist style of the whole thing, which coincides with the essential core of journalism.

Although the movie has not yet been released, George has already aimed at the awards season, and he will take the texture route from the beginning of the screening, which is unique in the noise of the awards season. The pride and loftiness revealed in the bones are clearly visible.

Because if it were Lance, he would do the same.

Even though Lance had already rejected George, the invitation was still sent to the door, and George's attitude was evident. It seems that he needs to call George tonight to express his approval and longing, so that George can take another reassurance.

Putting the invitation aside and seeing the envelope underneath, unsigned, Lance asked, "What is this?" While opening the envelope, Percy stood next to him with a itchy mouth and wanted to speak, but he held back, which was really strange. Without hearing Percy's voice, Lance couldn't help but feel strange, and before he had time to look at the contents of the envelope, Lance raised his head, and then saw Percy's eager expression, Lance put down the envelope and raised his eyebrows, "What the hell is in this?" ”

He knew Percy couldn't help it.

Sure enough, Percy gritted his teeth desperately, but seeing that Lance was not moved at all, he finally couldn't hold back, "A love letter from Leonardo DiCaprio to you. ”

"......" Lance didn't react, his eyebrows raised slightly, "So, he decided to come out?" ”

Percy couldn't help but roll his eyes, Lance must have deliberately misinterpreted his joke, "He wanted to star in your next production, and he contacted Brad Pitt through Matt Damon, and then found George Clooney to hand over the petition." "Lance and Leonardo didn't have a friendship, the two of them had met a few times on different occasions, but they were only nodding friends, which is why Leonardo came in such a big circle and came to the door - it is well known in the circle that Lance and George are close friends.

Lance opened his mouth, there were too many questions for a while, and he didn't know where to start complaining, so he simply lowered his head and opened the envelope, which contained a beige letterhead, and when he took it out, he saw the handwritten letter. In a time when e-mail and mobile phones are all over the place, handwritten letters are all too rare, "I know Leo and Kate are good friends, but I don't know that they both have the same means of courtship." ”

Kate Winslet took the trouble to send a letter of recommendation to James Cameron in order to play the role of "Titanic", and the letter was accompanied by roses and words like "I am the Ruth you are looking for", and finally succeeded in winning the role.

In this letter, Leonardo expressed his love for the Sin City production, and has always been looking forward to working with Lance, and if he can achieve this goal, he is even willing to play the role of Elijah Wood in Sin City. He is eager to challenge different roles, try different things, and never find fault with any role, because "your lens language can make an actor different".

Ilya plays Kevin in "Sin City", the perverted murderer who co-bishops hunt *** as prey and end up having their limbs cut off by Muffle. Ilya doesn't have many scenes, and there is not much room for performance, but she is very brilliant and has left a deep impression on many people.

Lance raised an eyebrow, folded the letterhead again, and stuffed it into the envelope. Percy saw Lance's indifferent appearance, and he didn't seem to be moved at all, and couldn't help but get excited, "What? Don't you think that's amazing? In order to cooperate with you, Leonardo actually went to find someone to deliver a message to you? Percy didn't see the contents of the letter, but Leonardo's move alone was enough to make people excited, which is undoubtedly the best affirmation of Reims's current appeal in the circle.

Especially in the current special context.

Lance shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak. He won't believe Leonardo's words, after "Titanic", Leonardo has not played a supporting role, all works are all protagonists, just like Tom Cruise, to be honest, no one dares to use such a top big name as a supporting role, until 2012 "Django Rescued" broke this situation, but Leonardo played a supporting role in that work is also "ulterior motives" - to hit the Oscar, which is also the real reason why Lance does not believe Leonardo.

While it would be troublesome to use Leonardo in a supporting role, Lance wasn't afraid of trouble. But the real point is that Leonardo didn't intend to play a supporting role at all.

After "Titanic" made Leonardo popular, he experienced a five-year period of confusion, but the once genius boy was considered a vase by everyone, and Leonardo fell into a period of self-abandonment. After waking up, Leonardo began a long journey of chasing the statuette, except for Steven Spielberg's "Escape" in 2002 and Christopher Nolan's "Inception" in 2010, each of Leonardo's works can be regarded as "a love letter to the Oscars", and he does not relentlessly hit the south wall and does not look back on the road of chasing the statuette.

The reason why Leonardo would write to Lance is actually quite simple, because Lance made Tom Cruise the Golden Man.

This is the same situation as Martin Scorsese, after entering the new millennium, Leonardo changed seven or eight agents in order to cooperate with Martin, hoping to become Martin's queen actor, because Leonardo was considered a Robert De Niro-style actor at the beginning of his career, and Robert's best performances were completed under Martin's lens. As a result, after the "New York Gangs" reached a cooperation for the first time, Leonardo cooperated with Martin five times and truly became a golden partner.

Lance was well aware of Leonardo's request, so he would not be fooled. And the point is that "Mad Max 4" simply does not meet Leonardo's requirements.

"I'm even more curious, does he know what exactly I'm working on?" Lance's head was very calm, and he was not impressed by the love letter, "If he knew, then...... Who leaked the news? "At present, even within Chaos Pictures, there are only a handful of people who know what Lance is going to do next," if he doesn't know, then he will be enthusiastic when he knows. ”

Percy opened her mouth, but found herself unable to refute. (To be continued.) )
