Eric is a veteran producer, his name can be seen in the list of producers of works such as the "Ace Big Spy" series, "Cat with a Hat", "Being a Big Hero" and other works.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", Eric did not join the production of Zuò, but after the sequel entered the preparatory stage, he joined the list of producers, obviously, Disney hopes that Eric can bring more changes and novelties to the series, and at the same time shows their ambition to make the series of films more majestic and grander - the huge crew naturally needs more production and cooperation with more people.

Eric's joining the crew can be seen in Disney's affirmation of him in itself; And today, Disney sent Eric as an emissary to communicate with Lance, which can also show Disney's trust in him. Of course, there is no reason why "both of them are new outsiders".

It's just that I don't know if Eric was sent by Robert Egger or Michael Esner. One step closer, did Michael understand that Lance, a stranger, entered the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean"? And what about the original production team of "Pirates of the Caribbean"? What about Eric, does he understand the game behind it, or has he chosen to take sides?

After another scene was filmed, Lance looked at the time, there were only forty minutes left until lunchtime, so he told Albert that today's lunch break was half an hour earlier, and then he turned around and walked towards Eric, who was standing behind the computer special effects team.

From afar, Eric can be seen with his hands behind his back, quietly observing the work of the special effects team. Since he was not standing far away, the assistant standing next to him didn't know what to do, and he couldn't directly pull Erekla away, and when he raised his head, he saw Lance pacing over, and opened his mouth to speak with a somewhat apprehensive expression, but Lance raised his hand, stopped him, and then motioned for him to leave.

Eric could sense the departure of the "monitor" next to him, and even if he didn't have to look back, he knew that it must be the main master. Sure enough, after a while, I caught a black shirt in my eyes, and I could only vaguely see the outline of a figure, but the light woody aroma made people feel very comfortable.

Eric was about to speak, but after a turn of his mind, he chose to shut up, he was very curious about how Lance would deal with the current situation. So, he fell silent. But to his surprise, Lance remained silent, just standing quietly beside him, as if he was not in a hurry at all. Just as he was about to give up and turned his head to look at Lance, he heard Lance's voice, "If you're interested in computer special effects, we can come up and take a closer look." ”

Lance was the first to speak, after all, he was the master, but it was not the answer that Eric expected, Lance actually regarded him as a tourist who came to observe the filming on the spot? He was a little curious about what kind of medicine was sold in Lance's gourd, "Of course, why not?" Eric agreed, he thought Lance would ride a tiger, but Lance didn't.

Lance took two steps forward, then turned around and made an inviting gesture that made Eric pause, but then smiled and walked respectfully.

Recently, Chaos Pictures has blocked almost all news about "Sin City", and at the same time, it has also released the news that Detroit is filming the work "Boy Scouts vs. Zombies", which confuses the public; Even if the reporter came to Austin, in the face of a blockade like an iron bucket, he couldn't even shoot the actor's appearance. It can be seen that Lance's emphasis on "Sin City" can definitely be called airtight.

What's more, why Ben Affleck was kicked out of the crew, the layman listens to the news, and the insider is not a fool.

But now, Lance looks calm and lets Eric go to find out the news of the crew, isn't Lance worried about letting out his mouth after he leaves? Eric took a step, observing the crew and Lance as his brain began to spin rapidly.

"So, you're planning to combine computer special effects with actual shooting to make the two aspects more integrated?" Eric was a little surprised, because Lance had no reservations - at least as it sounded, and kindly introduced many of the creative ideas of Sin City to the truth, "God, what kind of work are you going to shoot?" ”

"Excellent movie." Lance was not modest, but also not proud, but replied confidently, but the dignified words made Eric's eyes linger for a moment, the point was that Lance avoided Eric's positive question, and only answered vaguely.

Lance turned his head and looked at Eric seriously, "So, are you still satisfied with this question and answer?" ”

The turn came a little suddenly, and Eric actually had a gap of half a second, but he quickly reacted, and followed Lance's question, calmly and calmly, and asked, "Why do you ask?" ”

Lance looked surprised, "I thought you were coming here on behalf of Disney?" Lance wasn't kept in the dark, and Eric immediately understood, "So, isn't it time to find out my directing abilities today?" ”

Is this why Lance took the initiative to show the crew? Eric always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think deeply, because Lance's sentence was ironic: Disney sent someone to inspect Lance's directing ability, whether this was a distrust of Lance, or something else, and sent a new recruit like Eric, which was obviously a question that needed to be answered carefully.

"Hehe, I'm here to admire Mr. Strello's crew." A verb change, Eric defused Lance's sarcasm in the midst of polite social scenes, "Rumor has always said that Mr. Strello's crew is like a Neverland, desirable. ”

"So, did you find Peter Pan here?" Lance wasn't aggressive either, and a single teaser eased the atmosphere, and both of them chuckled.

"You can tell that you're a guy who likes to jump out of the box." Eric also put the conversation back, and after a brief trial just now, he had a preliminary understanding of Lance, and he accepted it when he saw it, and then walked down the steps handed by Lance, "Captain Jack Sparrow is the same. I'm already looking forward to working with each other in the future. ”

Lance raised an eyebrow, revealing a look of surprise, "So, you're going to be involved in the production of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' crew?" It was as if he didn't know Eric's true purpose.

Eric couldn't say anything more, just smiled politely, "Forgive me for my rudeness and forget to introduce myself." Eric McClad will next join the Pirates of the Caribbean team. Eric followed the etiquette and stretched out his right hand to shake Lance's hand, "I only learned after a meeting with Jerry that the guide tube for the sequel might be handed over to you, which aroused a lot of interest in me, and when Jerry said that they needed to have a meeting with you to discuss your thoughts on the script, I took the initiative to ask for it." Please forgive me for being abrupt, I came to Austin without telling you, I must admit, I am very curious about the situation of the crew, and there have been countless rumors about you in the circle recently. ”

Eric actually took the initiative to show favor!

This is something that Lance did not expect, and there is a lot of information revealed in these words just now: Jerry Bruckheimer already knows Robert Iger's calculations, and it is obvious that the open and secret battles have gradually become clear; Jerry asks to discuss the script, which is a test of Lance's ability, and there is no blind opposition, at least it shows that the power balance between Robert and Michael is not as big as imagined; Eric took the initiative to ask Ying, he is a new outsider, which shows that the rejection of the replacement director within the crew is still relatively large; There are countless rumors in the circle, which shows that everyone is in the wait-and-see stage, after all, Hollywood rumors need to be filtered.

If Lance remembers correctly, Eric is the maker of "Operation Smith", and the matter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has subsided a little bit recently, but the negative impact has been done, and it cannot be reduced in a short period of time, although no one knows who the black hand behind it is, but there is no impermeable wall in the world - Dylan Wilde is a paparazzi, but not a spy leader, even if Dylan did not reveal any words, "borrowing a knife to kill" It is not surprising that the biggest beneficiary of the past period of time is that some people think of Lance.

So, is Eric's move a gesture of goodwill to Lance? The subtext is that he doesn't have a deeper friendship with Brad and Angelina? Or is it a little deeper, he's on the same side as Robert? Is his placement today a gap to break the ice? Implying that Disney has extended an olive branch to him internally? Or is this all just his own speculation?

Lance lifted his eyes and saw the meaningful smile in Eric's eyes, and he knew he wasn't thinking too much.

"Hehe, I hope that after the real meeting, I won't be too disappointed." The words were modest and cautious, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was confident and calm, Eric couldn't help but look at Lance twice, but Lance didn't panic at all, "I originally thought that this qiē would be postponed a little more." Therefore, the idea of the script is still very vague. "Sin City" is two-thirds past the filming process, and it is estimated that it will be completed in mid-February, so Lance is also telling the truth, Disney sent a messenger today, a little earlier than expected, and it seems that the situation has changed, "However, I thought, we can sit down and talk, the creation of a script is never that simple, is it?"
