Ryan was a little flustered, because he knew Lancelot's abilities better than anyone else. However, this panic was only for a while, and Ryan quickly calmed down, he wasn't sure how much Lance knew about "Lost in Tokyo", and he wasn't sure how much Lance's words would bring, but he was sure that he would never let Lance get a chance to rise again!

They have completely torn their faces, and they are inseparable, either you die or I die. In the shopping mall, there is no friendship, only interests, so he will definitely not leave himself with trouble, he wants to strangle the last glimmer of hope for Lance, and witness the process of Lance's decay and decay - "Lost in Tokyo", he is determined!

After saying goodbye to Barry, although the two of them were calm on the surface, Ryan knew that the next cooperation negotiations would be full of thorns, and the difficulty would definitely increase exponentially. Ryan only felt a breath in his chest, but he couldn't vent it, and it was a terrible feeling.

Ryan tried to find Lance in the crowd - no small task, and he quickly found Lance and Sophia who were talking, which made his teeth clench again. Ryan clearly knew that few people could resist Lance's charm, and the shallow smile on Sophia's face at this moment seemed to confirm this statement again, which made Ryan only feel a dull pain in his chest.

Gritting his teeth, he let out a long breath to calm his overheated brain, and Ryan quickly reorganized his thoughts, his expression regaining his usual composure and graceful demeanor, and he took a step.

"Hey, you're here." Ryan's brisk voice attracted the attention of Sophia and Lance, both of them looked over, Ryan first hugged Sophia, the familiarity between the two was obvious, and then Ryan's eyes fell on Lance, showing a surprised expression, "Hey, you're here too." It was as if this was the first time they had met today.

Sophia raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at Lance, "You know?" ”

Lanstan nodded and smiled helplessly, "Sorry, I haven't had time to introduce myself yet, Lancelot Strello, Ryan and I have known each other for over ten years. ”

Lance's heart was still a little caught off guard, Ryan and Barry's conversation ended so quickly, and Ryan's sudden appearance also disrupted Lance's plan just now, and now things are uncertain. However, Lance did not show his own confusion, did not show his hectic and stunned weakness, but took the initiative to tell the truth and find out the facts; And quietly shifts the focus of the conversation - instead of answering "why did he know Ryan", he was interrupted by Ryan before he could introduce himself.

Ryan immediately heard the hidden edge in Lance's words, and he also smiled and shrugged his shoulders, adding, "Diorama Pictures was founded by the two of us together, but unfortunately, Lance left the company not long ago. Ryan cryptically revealed Lance's true purpose, which was the most important part of Lance's words that was missing.

Sure enough, Sophia's eyes widened in surprise, obviously not expecting things to be so coincidental, and countless thoughts burst into her mind for a while, and her first thought was: So, all the coincidences between Lance and herself just now were deliberately arranged? But this idea had just burst out, and Sophia was unsure and unsure, so that she had no way to respond in time, so she could only let out an exclamation, "Wow......" A meaningful exclamation, "Wow......" Again, Sophia narrowed her eyes slightly, "So, you know me?" ”

Sophia is a sentimental woman who spends most of her time in her own world, but that doesn't mean she's ignorant of these intrigues, much less that she's a fool.

Lance chuckled, the elegant curvature of the corners of his mouth bursting out in the golden sunlight, and the reflection in the azure eyes outlined a mesmerizing halo. Sophia only felt that her heart was leaking a beat in an instant, and she involuntarily held her breath.

"Of course, of course I know you." Lance tucked his chin slightly, the clear sunlight penetrating the thick eyelashes, casting sparse shadows that gently echoed in the deep features, "The Godfather series is one of the films I watch repeatedly. Lance's smile was mixed with a hint of ridicule and a hint of apology, he looked up at Sophia, frowned and begged for mercy, and said, "Sorry, please forgive my faux pas, I definitely didn't mean to." ”

One sentence made Sophia burst out laughing directly, this was the first time she laughed so heartily today.

As we all know, Sophia hates others to mention "Godfather 3", she made a cameo appearance in her father's work, but won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress and Worst Female Newcomer two trophies, which can be said to be the most terrible black history in her life. After that, Sophia has been ostracized from the entertainment industry for a long time, and those who are familiar with the Coppola family will knowingly avoid the topic of "Godfather 3" in front of her.

Lance had a hint of ridicule in his joke just now, but Sophia couldn't hate it, and the sincerity in those blue eyes easily persuaded her, and the laughter overflowed so lightly that even Sophia herself didn't expect it.

"A true gentleman should know how to start by introducing himself." Sophia retracted her smile and said it seriously, but the complaint in her words revealed her true feelings at this time—not only did she not mind, but she obviously had a particularly good impression of Lance.

Lance raised an eyebrow in surprise, "I thought true friends should start with spiritual communication. —just like the conversation he had just had with Sophia, which was a subtext that Lance did not utter in his words.

Sophia was stunned, looking at Lance in front of her blankly, the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden, and her cheeks actually began to heat slightly, which made Sophia a little shy and wolfish lowered her head and pursed her dry lips.

It was just two sentences of dialogue, and Lance once again pulled back the disadvantage.

Ryan couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, but his brain was calmer than ever, not in a hurry, he didn't interject urgently, but quietly waited for his opportunity, "So, you mentioned it to Sophia just now?" Ryan saw the stitch and said a word to Lance.

Not only Lance, but even Sophia cast a puzzled look at Ryan, and Ryan followed Sophia's line of sight and said seriously, "Lance mentioned to me not long ago that he has an incredible fanaticism about the script 'Lost in Tokyo', he thinks it's a very good script, and he can't wait to work with you." With that, Ryan looked at Lance again and innocently asked, "Didn't you just discuss this?" ”

Correct solution! All of Lance's guesses are correct, and Ryan's cooperation project is "Lost in Tokyo", which also means that Lance's move just now is right in the heart! Unfortunately, the window paper is punctured, and Lance's painstakingly managed conversation is completely ruined - all of his conversations with Sophia revolve around the core idea of "Lost in Translation", and add his personal understanding and speculation about Sophia's state of mind.

If Sophia doesn't know the story behind this, then she will only think of Lance as a bosom friend; But once the matter is exposed, Lance becomes a villain who is bent on cooperating - even taking advantage of Sophia's vulnerability. In fact, if Ryan had come a little later, five minutes, only five minutes, Lance would have skillfully put forward the script of "Lost in Tokyo", and then start a conversation with Sophia in the name of "communication", then today's work would have been completed, and the specific cooperation matters would have been left to the next meeting, so as to avoid the current terrible situation.

However, Ryan didn't leave much space for Lance, and it didn't take five minutes.

Ryan simply crucified Lance to death with a few words, and his decisive and ruthless methods barely left Lance any room for a reversal. But that's not the end of it.

Ryan didn't give Lance time to pretend to be stupid, and just spoke again, "So, have you decided?" Self-reliant portal? Or do you want to work in a big company? ”

Ryan's sentence contains two messages, the first is that Lance doesn't even have a production company now, so he wants to cooperate with Sophia to shoot "Lost in Tokyo", and the attempt of the white wolf with empty gloves makes Lance's use of Sophia even more hateful; The second is the possibility of Lance cooperating with large corporations, which means that Lance has no advantage over Ryan - Ryan did not give Lance the opportunity to explain Lance's plan and idea of "Lost in Tokyo".

One more stab, one more slash, a fatal blow! Suffice it to say, Ryan didn't leave Lance with any chance of survival.

Sophia is an emotional person, she may fall in love with Lance's words, but she can also completely cut off all possibilities because of Lance's dishonesty, which is a double-edged sword. Lance had just used the front of the blade, and now he was stabbed in the back of the blade.

She looked at Lance in disbelief, the whole world falling apart in her eyes, the storm of emotions surging in an instant, and then she turned away without warning, striding away, decisive and decisive. Lance takes advantage of Sophia's vulnerability and makes a connection in a short conversation; And now Ryan also takes advantage of Sophia's vulnerability and destroys all trust in a few words.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Lance's eyes, and his right hand was directly clenched into a fist, and he wanted to shout out to Sophia and explain further, but the action was interrupted by Ryan. Ryan walked up to Lance in a single step, quickly closing the distance between the two men, stopping himself at a punch distance beyond Lance's face, Lance could even feel Ryan's hot snort, and then he heard Ryan's low voice show unprecedented tenderness - and disgusting pride.

"Dear Lance, I know you as well as I know the lines of my palm, don't think you can escape from my palm."
