In just one night, all the attention of the whole country was focused on Lance, not only the office on Green Ridge Street, but also the special surgery hospital was once again surrounded by the media, and everyone was eager to get first-hand information. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Since the filming of "Fruit Hard Candy" was put into production, the excitement of the reporters has reached a high level at this moment!

Any project involving a cost of 200 million yuan is announced, which is enough to attract everyone's attention, not to mention that the protagonist is Lance, this background is the top large film companies to join forces to blockade, this time is the "fruit hard candy" is about to be screened, in an instant, the news media burst out with unprecedented energy, so that Chaos Pictures and Lance really feel what is called media power.

As many as 600 reporters blocked Green Ridge Street, and even the ordinary staff of the newly established distribution department did not escape the pursuit of reporters; As many as 400 reporters kept besieging the special surgery hospital, and even the nurses were chased by reporters asking whether Lance had been in contact with anyone else in the hospital recently...... This is just the beginning.

For the next few days, 24 hours a day, the paparazzi were chasing and fighting, and it seemed that they would never give up until they asked for the truth. Not only the news media, but also the Hollywood industry, led by Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures, has also become curious: where does Lance's confidence come from?

The overwhelming craze is once again reminiscent of the scene after the outbreak of Brad Pitt's "derailment" last year, and more precisely, this time the discussion was hot enough to completely blow the derailment door, and the mighty momentum made people have the illusion that "the whole world is looking at it".

However, in the face of such a strong momentum, Chaos Pictures and Lance are tight-lipped about it, they just admit that Lance is indeed preparing a project at present, but there is no accurate information on the details. Such a mysterious attitude has aroused the enthusiasm of the reporters, who are bound to break the casserole and ask the question.

Subsequently, the paparazzi really caught the clues, Lance's frequent contact with George Miller was seen by people, and "Mad Max 4" gradually surfaced! It's no secret in Hollywood that George has been campaigning for the relaunch of the project for the past two years, and now that George and Lance are together, everything speaks for itself.

Rumble! Boom!

In an instant, the whole of North America was boiling like boiling water, and everyone was fried.

Even the most daring people dare not guess that Lance's latest project is actually "Mad Max 4"; Even the craziest people would not dare to try it, investing $200 million in a cult movie with a unique style; Even the most desperate people dare not imagine that Lance has brought back into sight a project that had been dormant for twenty years; Even the most courageous people dare not gamble, and put their entire net worth on a maverick project.

But, Lance did just that.

Almost everyone's head goes into a state of panic, and the first reaction is: Is Lance crazy? If you want to commit suicide, there is no need to choose such a way.

Barry Meyer laughed, Michael Layton was stunned, and chose "Mad Max 4" to break through the encirclement, which can indeed be called a different way, ingenious, and killed everyone by surprise, but this is no different from suicide at all, especially considering the poor box office performance of the first three films in North America in North America, they were originally worried about what waves Lance would make, but now it seems that Lance, a madman, has lost his mind, and the result will only be self-defeating.

Not to mention Barry and Michael, even the news media was full of consternation, and it seemed that everyone could not understand Lance's choice and decision, and it was really incomprehensible.

The media, led by the "Los Angeles Times", began to complain one after another.

"Lose your mind, and destroy yourself!" As the largest news outlet on the West Coast, Cliff Robinson's skewed remarks were published, which shows that the Los Angeles Times could not agree with Lance's decision.

In this review, Cliff gives Lance enough affirmation. "In the past few years, Lance has proved his talent with the great success of one work after another, and can even be called an outstanding representative of the directors of the X generation, but the continuous success of past works seems to have made Lance get carried away, and blind confidence has made him make more and more out-of-the-ordinary choices." Then the conversation changed, and the reproach fell like a torrential rain.

"It is true that in the field of art, continuous experimentation, continuous experimentation, continuous breakthroughs, and continuous innovation can often lead to countless wonderful works, and history has clearly proved this; But in the same way, history has also proved that if a commercial film wants to succeed, it must have certain factors, even if it is the 'Jaws' that broke the commercial narrative model, the 'male and female thieves' who changed the commercial script model, and the 'Star Wars' that changed the commercial culture model, they still have distinctive market characteristics.

Now, Lance is trying to create a commercial film in the form of experimental films, which is even crazier than the Russian turntable, and is almost doomed to a fiasco, but Lance is still bold and desperate, and has set a budget of up to $200 million for this niche cult work. Madness, madness, madness, there is no better word to describe Lance's decision.

The 'Mad Max' series once aroused the interest of many niche fans in the 80s of the last century, and the post-apocalyptic characteristics, wasteland style, and rock temperament conveyed in the movies are fascinating. It is undeniable that this is a cult set of works with far-reaching influence. The biggest difference between it and 'Star Wars' is that George Lucas created a mysterious and wonderful unknown world, taking the audience to explore the universe and turning the fantasy in his mind into reality, while George Miller created a cruel and violent real world, turning the audience's deep fears into reality and presenting them in an alternative way. So, 'Mad Max' is not 'Star Wars' and can't be 'Star Wars'.

Such a film may resonate with a very small group of people, such as the math fanatics who communicate in 'alien' languages in high school science labs, but none of the elements in the film have the potential to awaken a market craze, let alone develop into a commercial film.

We shouldn't forget that Lance spent $40 million on Sin City, and he turned this geeky, otaku-like story into a box office bomb that wowed everyone. It was this work that gave Lance enough courage and confidence to set his sights on 'Mad Max'. However, we should also not forget that Sin City's cost is only 40 million, while Mad Max's budget has reached 200 million.

It's a math problem, and didn't Lance, as a producer, invite the top students at MIT to do the math? ”

Cliff's diction is neither crazy nor sharp, but for an authoritative newspaper like the Los Angeles Times, it has crossed that bottom line, and people can clearly feel the extreme emotions between the lines.

"With the birth of the 'City of God', Lance is proving his strength with one wonderful work after another, and has become an emerging force in Hollywood that cannot be ignored. But now, Lance's hubris is eating away at his talent, and with more and more frantic choices, more and more bizarre decisions, it is clear that he is squandering his talents with impunity. Having abandoned the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' sequel, exiting the '007' project, and rejecting 'I Am a Legend', Lance seems to be trying to find his own path, but 'Mad Max 4' is clearly not the right choice for that path.

At this point, we should calm down and think: Are we witnessing the fall of a genius? ”

At the end of the article, Cliff cleverly changes the concept to create the illusion that Lance is actively hostile to the big Hollywood studios, and for the first time really presents the internal "blockade" of Hollywood in a different way, and expresses his heartache for Lance in a sad way, as if he were just a movie lover who hates iron and steel.

I have to say that Cliff is really old-fashioned, and after this report was published, it not only sparked heated discussions, but also was recognized by countless suitors.

More than 49 media outlets, including the Los Angeles Times, made similar statements, and it is worth noting that seven media outlets, including the Washington Post and the New York Post on the East Coast, were also prominently listed. It is clear that even those supporters are puzzled by Lance's choice.

As Cliff said, I didn't choose projects like "Pirates of the Caribbean", "007", and "I Am a Legend", but chose a "Mad Max 4", which is like giving up a resort with blue sea and blue sky and choosing a desert with poor mountains and rivers for vacation, which is incomprehensible at all.

What's even more exaggerated is that many loyal fans of the movie have also begun to complain on the Internet, hoping that Lance can turn back as soon as possible and not go back on this wrong path. In the Yahoo community, someone actually set up a "vote against 'Mad Max 4'", in the name of "Sin City" crazy lovers, and this vote attracted more than 20,000 people in just three days.

It seems that even the audience now refuses to stand behind Lance to show their support - just when people think it can't get any worse, the bottom line is always broken again. The world is so crazy. (To be continued.) )
