Diana thought she must be crazy, she was thirty-three years old, but now she was as overwhelmed as a thirteen-year-old girl. She forced herself to brace herself, she had to come to her senses, and this opportunity for "Troy" was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her, Barry Meyer was not a child-like person, and it took a lot of effort to grab "Troy", and she couldn't afford to miss it.

Take a deep breath, then a deep breath again.

"So, you're going to use love as a starting point to tell the story of the Trojan Horse?" Diana's gaze was firmly locked on Lance's eyes, those deep eyes seemed calm, but they were like an abyss, and people couldn't take their eyes off it at all. But at least, her brain had finally calmed down a bit.

A smile curled up at the corners of Lance's mouth, and even the neat white teeth could be seen. Diana only felt that her heartbeat was starting to beat again, and her first thought was, "Can you stop laughing?" "How to tell this story is the writer's business, and as a director, my task is to tell the story movingly, isn't it?" Lance deftly dodged the question.

The story of "Troy" is based on a war caused by a woman, which has also been criticized by many, especially many advocates of feminism. Lance didn't want to say anything about it, but he at least knew that he shouldn't stress it in front of a feminine person.

"I think the core of this work is to give the film an epic feel while maintaining a connection with the audience. That's the hardest part. Lance's words made Diana nod, "I mentioned before that it's best to use an All-Star lineup, and Brad Pitt is the best choice, he has a tougher temperament than Russell-Crowe, and he's more sexy/sensual; And then add Orlando Bloom, the perfect match. ”

At this time, "Pirates of the Caribbean" had just set sail, and the opening box office of 46 million impressed everyone, and Orlando's value in Hollywood continued to rise.

"It's a great choice." In fact, Warner Bros. is now in contact with Brad to see if he is interested in "Troy." Diana leaned forward slightly, her eyes locked on Lance's eyes motionlessly, as if she wanted to talk about the mystery beneath the bottomless abyss, "So, what about the heroine?" Who do you think is a good fit? ”

Lance didn't flinch at all, but chuckled, the corners of his mouth were not curled, but his eyes were full of smiles, and he lowered his voice slightly, as if whispering, and it sounded softly in Diana's ears, "What do you think, Nicole-Kidman or Penelope-Cruz?" ”

Diana felt only an itch in her ears, a feather that curled her fingers and toes, and for the first time she realized that the mere sound could make her ears pregnant.

This made Diana retreat in a bit of a panic, she picked up her coffee, took another sip, another sip, and then calmed down, she smiled disguisedly, "My throat is a little uncomfortable today." Lance smiled politely, not commenting. Diana immediately changed the subject, "I've seen your 'City of God'," which is a lie, "I like it very much, your handling of the camera and the telling of the story are completely amazing." I'm reminded of Martin Scorsese's 'good guys,' "It's a copy of the critics," so I thought...... It's impossible to ask Martin to be the director, maybe it's up to you to direct, it's a good choice. ”

Lance's eyes widened, just right to express his joy, the turbulent waves under his eyes with a hint of forbearance and a hint of excitement, Diana caught it at once, and her mood jumped instantly. However, Diana put on the brakes in time and continued, "Of course, I still need to talk to the other producers about the specifics, and, as far as I know, you want Warner Bros. to work with Chaos Pictures on this production, right?" ”

"Yes." Lance nodded, when proposing the "Troy" project, Lance started with the reason that Chaos Pictures and Warner Bros. were working together to shoot it. "I was able to reassemble the crew of 'City of God' and work on this production to give the film something special."

Diana smiled and nodded her chin, and the words that came to her mouth were swallowed with great difficulty, "We'll discuss this in depth as well." ”

Lance seemed to be a little anxious, moved a little forward, closer and closer to Diana, those eyes looked at Diana deeply and sincerely, and even a trace of forbearance anxiety flashed in his eyes, fleeting, "If you are worried about manpower, I have absolutely no problem." Chaos Pictures can give a part of it, and Warner Bros. will give the rest, and I believe that there will be no problems with the cooperation between me and the producers. ”

The people who make zuò are Diana here.

Diana looked at Lance's earnest gaze and her brain heated, "Brad Pitt's Plan B Pictures also wants to work with us. After saying that, Diana saw the disappointment in Lance's eyes, like a meteor streaking across the Cote d'Azur, and she hurriedly explained, "However, no agreement has been reached yet, and Brad is still considering it." Therefore, we have not decided on a partner for the time being. "It's true, but it's top secret inside Warner Bros.

Lance secretly clenched his fist in his heart, if Warner Bros. had already negotiated with Brad, not only Chaos Pictures would have no chance, but even Diorama Pictures would have no chance. That's not going to work. However, on the surface, Lance showed a smile, but there was a slight weakness under the smile, "Of course, if you can, Chaos Pictures can co-produce with Plan B Pictures and Warner Bros. ”

Such a situation is not uncommon, the larger the investment and the larger the production, the more the production company will jointly produce the product, but the more fierce the competition for the division of interests.

"It's a possibility." Diana spread her hands and smiled brightly, trying to give Lance more confidence. In her heart, Diana sincerely hoped that she could cooperate with Lance, and as long as she thought of the possibility of cooperation, her heart rippled...... "Lance, please forgive me for my presumptuousness, why didn't you think about starring in the work 'Troy'?" ”

This made Lance laugh, "Maybe when the 'Troy' investment is only ten million dollars." "For a large-scale production like "Troy", which invests more than 150 million yuan, the production company will definitely not take risks lightly, or work hard in the director position and invite big-name directors; either concentrate on the selection of actors and sign contracts with big-name actors; Only when all the spending is focused on computer special effects will second-tier actors, or even newcomers, be considered, but only if the director chooses carefully.

All things considered, Lance's only chance to participate in "Troy" is to direct.

Diana understood that Lance's words were correct, but her eyes still inevitably showed regret, "You can definitely vividly interpret the charm of Achilles......" Imagine the muscles under the dark blue shirt, and her mind can't help but sketch the outline of the last time in the coffee house, "You can be a good actor!" ”

"Maybe, maybe someday." Lance showed a modest smile just right, and his words were simple, but meaningful. After saying that, Lance stood up, "I think today's meeting should be over here, and I hope I have the next chance to continue to work hard for the cooperation of 'Troy'." ”

"Of course, that's for sure!" Diana's answer was categorical, and after she said it, she realized that she seemed to be a little too urgent, which made her touch her neck in embarrassment, and then hurriedly diverted the topic, "So, were you okay last time?" After speaking, he found that he was headless and brainless, and quickly added, "I mean, the time in the coffee house, your Wen Jiàn is fine, right?" ”

"Oh, it's fine." "I'm trying to get a project with Disney, and you know, for Chaos Pictures, it's all in its infancy right now, and I need to try something different. Diana nodded her head sympathetically, as if she were also a member of Chaos Pictures, "and then I reprinted the text and rushed to Disney, and things went smoothly." However, as for what exactly that conversation will bring, I have not yet heard from it. So, I thought, I should be fine. ”

Diana still slipped a trace of guilt in her heart, imagining the figure of Lance running around under the scorching sun, her throat couldn't help but be a little dry, "Believe me, you performed very well today, if 'Troy' can invite you to direct, then it is bound to be an excellent work." ”

Diana had already begun to figure out how to convince other producers, and Barry, to hand over the directorship to Lance.

"That's my pleasure." Lance shook Diana's right hand, and found that Diana seemed unwilling to let go, he stepped forward skillfully, and gave Diana a hug, and then obviously felt that Diana's muscles were tensed, and her right hand involuntarily let go, "So, see you next time." With that, Lance turned around and left.

Diana stood still, reluctant to feel that she was surrounded by the refreshing and charming woody aroma, as if the whole world had become better. Diana turned and walked back to the table, picked up the cup of cotepe, closed her eyes and felt the special aroma linger slowly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was gently outlined.

Leaving the office, Lance left calmly, without the slightest nervousness or excitement, as if nothing had happened. But Lance knows that the trap has been dug and everything is left to "Ryan", and now it is up to Diorama Pictures to make a decision.

Lance thinks that perhaps the "Pirates of the Caribbean" that is being screened can become the "east wind".
