Barry Meyer sat behind his desk, his face as calm as water making it impossible to guess his true emotions, his right index finger tapping lightly on the table, but the dull and trivial sound was amplified to the extreme in the silent office, as if it was pounding on the heart, which made people shudder.

Leona-Lynn knows that this means that Barry's emotions are now on the verge of exploding, and as Barry's secretary, she knows all too well.

"So, it's confirmed?" Barri's suppressed anger voice came, and Liana knew that the situation was not good, but she could only grit her teeth and nod her head and give an affirmative reply, "That's what the news from the Propaganda Department says. Recently, Lance's whereabouts have been a mystery, he has been avoiding the paparazzi's tracking, and Chaos Pictures is also secretly preparing something......"

George Clooney's news was confirmed, and Barry only felt his temples start beating faintly.

Just yesterday, they met to discuss the possibility of adopting Reims' version of "I Am Legendary". Under the pressure of Warner Bros. and other major studios, Chaos Pictures had almost nowhere to escape, and Lance sent the script and raised his hand to surrender, which was completely expected, and there were no surprises at all. To be honest, Barry was a little disappointed because Lance didn't resist much longer and gave up too quickly, and the game lost its pleasure/feeling.

After getting the script, Warner Bros. needs to think about whether they want to give Lance a way out, or whether they will continue to oppress? Or is it the grace of rain and dew after the thunderous means?

If according to Barry's idea, he would never adopt Lance, since he began to teach a lesson, then he had to teach it to the end, what he enjoyed most was to watch Lance kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and then refuse fiercely, and let Lance fall to the bottom completely. Only then will the lessons be truly memorable. But Barry is not a wayward child, and profit is always his first goal, not to mention, the procrastination of Sony Pictures' "007" project also seems to be a bit boring, and it seems that they are not willing to give up their cooperation with Chaos Pictures, intending to play the role of Lance's savior.

The question is, should they compete with Sony Pictures? If there is no competition, how should the two sides divide the interests and squeeze the surplus value of Reims to the extreme; If they compete, what is their bottom line, they must not let Lance benefit in order to win over Sony Pictures, that is the real gain outweighs the loss.

In the past time, Warner Bros. has been arguing with Sony Pictures, and neither side is willing to cede interests, and each other is constantly testing each other's bottom line. Lance is like a fish to be slaughtered, and it has been forgotten on the cutting board, Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures are tearing their throats at the top of their lungs about how to cut the meat, but now it seems that ...... It's not just the cooked ducks that are about to fly, but it's quite possible to give them a slap in the face in turn.

According to George's information, Lance intends to play a big, most likely $200 million project. For a medium-sized film company like Chaos Pictures, the company must have borrowed money to shoot, putting on a desperate posture, and it seems that it is determined to fight against a large film company to the end!

If it were really that easy to make a big commercial movie, DreamWorks wouldn't have fallen apart. Barry couldn't help but sneer, Lance was not only too immature, but also too arrogant, with an almost blind self-confidence, and only after he really fell into the dust, Lance would put himself in the right position.

"By the way, the latest news we've got, Lance has been in contact with George Miller lately, and then called on a whole bunch of ...... Professional painters, the scale is really not small. Liana added that after saying that, she noticed that Barry's face was a little more gloomy, and she secretly complained in her heart, but she had to stand there with her back straight, suppressing the idea of running away.

Barry felt a faint throbbing pain in his temples.

He actually forgot that the reason why he wanted to teach Lance a lesson was because Lance was proud of his talents, and he gradually began to become unpopular by relying on his talent. First "Superman Returns", and then "I Am a Legend", the reason why Warner Bros. has negotiated cooperation with Lance twice is because he has taken a fancy to Lance's talent. Lance not only has a talent for exploring the depth of art, but also has a commendable grasp of commercial elements, and Lance is definitely responsible for the fact that a stylized work like "Sin City" can win such box office results compared to "the day after tomorrow", which is the fundamental reason why Barry found Lance regardless of his previous suspicions.

What's more, George Miller has never been a first-line director in the circle, and more often than not, he is like a transparent person with strength, but his material has always been on the wrong side. Now, Lance is hooking up with him, are the two of them brewing any blockbuster plans, so if Chaos Pictures really gets 200 million US dollars, if Lance really shoots this work successfully......

Now it seems that it is clear that "I am a legend" is not in Lance's plan, and so is "007", and both of them thought that Lance was firmly in their hands, but they were both tricked. So what now? What should he do, if Lance thinks he can easily escape, he is very wrong! Thinking of this, Barry felt that he needed to calm down and clear his mind again.

"Knock", there was a knock on the door, and Liana was already preparing to retreat, but as soon as she turned her head, she saw another secretary, David Livingston, pushing the door and walking in, his expression not very good. Liana couldn't help but wail in her heart, and glanced at David, but David shook his head with a helpless expression, and then walked in quickly.

"What's wrong?" Barry looked at David and asked in a loud voice, the suppressed emotions surging, and it could be heard that Barry was trying to control it.

David raised the newspaper in his hand and handed it over. Reading the daily newspaper is the most direct means to grasp the dynamics in the circle, but now Barry is obviously not in the mood, he waved his hand casually, motioning for David to put the newspaper next to him, but he didn't expect David to be embarrassed and said, "Barry, I think you need to take a look at this." ”

Groov.

One of the strings in Liana's heart was inexplicably broken, and she had a sense of foreboding.

Barry took the newspaper, and then he saw the front page of the New York Times with the headline, "Two hundred million projects!" What's next for Reims! ”

"It's exclusive. But now all the media has rushed towards Green Ridge Street. David knew he was adding fuel to the fire, but it was his duty, and he could only grit his teeth and force himself to continue.

What David didn't say was that the media sensation was in place almost all over the West Coast, not just in Los Angeles, but in several surrounding states, because everyone knew exactly what Lance's move meant. Although the blockade of Lance by major studios led by Warner Bros. has never been officially reported, rumors are boiling in circles, and the West Coast media is constantly fueling the fire. In this context, the latest news from Chaos Pictures is absolutely groundbreaking.

Just now, David was talking to a reporter from the "San Francisco Chronicle" on the phone, and the entire Green Ridge Avenue was paralyzed.

However, there is no need for Barry to know this news, otherwise David would not dare to guarantee what the situation will be.

"Tear and tear", Barry forcefully and directly rolled the entire newspaper into a ball of waste paper, for a newspaper with more than 100 pages, this move is definitely not easy, but Barry still did it, which shows his monstrous anger at the moment. But even so, there was no way to vent his emotions, so Barry raised his hand and smashed the ashtray off his desk.

Such a scene frightened David and Liana both to hold their breath.

At the same time, Michael Layton rubbed his temples with both hands, and wanted to open his mouth several times, but in the end he held back, but the tense muscle lines of his hands could still see the true emotions in his heart, and the whole person was like a full bow and arrow.

Anthony Wayne put the New York Times on the table, pouted and chuckled and shook his head, "He's still really lawless." Although Anthony expected Lance's resistance to be fierce, he did not expect that it would be used in such a way, which could almost be said to be a lose-lose situation. Anthony had the impression that Lance should have been more sleek and cunning.

"We could have avoided it." Michael finally couldn't help but speak, his tone was calm, trying to make it lightly, but the stiffness of his facial muscles was really uncontrollable. If it weren't for Barbara Brocory's desire to fight for more benefits for the producers, Sony Pictures would have already completed the negotiations, fifteen percent, this is the bottom line in Michael's heart, he is a businessman, but not a vampire.

Barbara shrugged her shoulders and said lightly, "He's not the only option." This is Hollywood, and no one is the only one, anyone. Not even Stanley Kubrick. ”

"That's not the point!" Michael's voice couldn't help but rise, but he quickly adjusted his breathing and said again in his usual tone, "That's not the point. The point is, we gave Lance a way out, let him work with us, and we could evolve Chaos Pictures into our supernumerary production department! That's what Michael is looking for.

"Do you think Lance doesn't understand?" Barbara's taunt makes Michael's anger rise again, but there is no way to refute it.

Michael knew that it was precisely because Lance clearly knew the intentions of both sides that he chose this way of preferring to be broken rather than broken, and he really tore his face; Similarly, it is precisely because of Lance's counterattack that Sony Pictures and Warner Bros. did not leave any face, and they were disgraced and embarrassed.

More importantly, Lance clearly knows that this is Hollywood, this is Wall Street, and this is the mall. There are only eternal interests, and there are no eternal enemies, so even if the face is torn, as long as Lance can continue to succeed, this tearing war is not over.

Michael is well aware of all this, which is a fundamental source of his frustration. (To be continued.) )
