Lance was stunned, and savored the meaning of Albert's words, today is the first day that Chaos Pictures has moved into the office, and even the desk has just been settled, how can there be a guest coming to the door? And looking at Albert's expression, he was obviously confused.

After thinking about it for a while, Lance raised his eyes and looked at Albert, showing a smile, "You first greet the guests in my place, and tell them that after this meeting is over, I will receive them personally." ”

Albert met Lans's calm and calm gaze, his blue eyes like the morning sun were not in a hurry, not panicked, and the corners of his tight mouth couldn't help but relax slightly, and nodded, "I know." Originally, this was what Albert was good at, and after getting Lance's affirmation, his mind quickly calmed down. Albert gave Cole and Kate an apologetic smile again, and then withdrew.

"If I'm not miscalculated, there's only fifteen seconds left." Lance's words stunned Kate, and when she turned her head, she saw that there was a sharp sight hidden in the warmth of Lance's eyes.

Cole opened his mouth to interject, but Kate was the first to speak, "If I didn't understand correctly, those fifteen seconds wasted just now weren't my fault." Cole glanced at Kate in surprise, and he suddenly understood, if he interjected at this time and interceded for Kate, then all of Kate's previous efforts would be in vain.

Lance shrugged slightly, "Accidents are everywhere, thirty seconds belong to you, a miss is a miss, you can quibble, but time will not be turned back." "To put it simply: I'm a scoundrel, what can you do?

Kate only felt a moment of weakness. Lance's words are always gentle and kind, but the firmness and composure hidden in his eyes invisibly control all the rhythms, and the sense of urgency that is frequently out of control makes it difficult to settle down. But Kate knew that she couldn't give up, she definitely couldn't give up, "if only because of these fifteen seconds of gain and loss." It's my loss to miss out on a good actor, but I think it's also your loss. ”

Once again, Kate's answer was unexpected, and Lance raised an eyebrow and smiled, "So, you call yourself a 'good' actor." ”

Kate could hear the teasing and banter in Lance's words, ∴ ∴■, which made Kate's cheeks start to heat irrepressibly. Although at this moment. Kate knew that she was performing, showing her strength and tenacity, but she was still a little uncomfortable, usually, she was always modest and low-key, so flamboyant and hard-hitting, it was not her style at all.

At this moment of distraction, Lance's voice rang out again. "Thirty seconds is over." Kate looked up sharply and looked at Lance in some disbelief. It's hard to hide her frustration in her eyes - she has persevered to the end, and she actually missed the opportunity at the last moment because of her self-deprecation......

Lance had already turned his gaze to Cole, "I think this audition will end here." ”

Cole patted Kate on the shoulder to bring her back to her senses, and then motioned for her to leave the office first. He whispered, "Tell everyone to wait outside, I'll come out right away." Kate bit her lower lip and looked at Lance again with reluctance, but Cole didn't dwell on it anymore. Tapped Kate's arm again, and Kate stood up.

After pausing in place for about two seconds, Kate still didn't wait for Lance's other reaction, then turned around in frustration and left the office.

After Kate left, Lance stood up and put the cast on his lap on the desk, "Sorry, I need to go out and deal with the guests first." So, do you want to continue later, or do you want to make another appointment? ”

"So, what do you think of Kate?" Cole didn't answer the question, but asked rhetorically. Lance looked at Cole steadily, Cole also looked back without showing weakness, and finally the smile on the corner of Lance's mouth bloomed, shook his head slightly, and did not intend to answer, and then walked quickly in the direction of the door, but Cole shouted to Lance again, "Lance, the last question, sue me, is my judgment wrong?" It's not a commercial movie, is it? ”

Cole is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very shrewd, in the two auditions of Mark and Kate just now, it can be seen that Lance does not pay too much attention to the appearance and demeanor of the actors, but he always pays attention to the rhythm of the actors' performances. It can be seen from this detail that the focus of Lance's selection of actors has obviously deviated from his expectations.

Lance still smiled gracefully, "I guess there will be gains and losses, don't you?" After saying that, Lance opened the door of the office, and standing at the door, Lance came back to his senses, "By the way, you can use this office if you need to, anyway, the whole company is in a mess right now, and I can receive guests elsewhere." ”

With that, Lance strode out.

Cole knew the meaning of Lance's last sentence was actually to confirm his guess - in order to seize the time difference, there must be some errors in the collection of information, which is also an inevitable price. However, before Cole could think further, he saw Terence Cox standing in front of the office at the other end, one of the most powerful non-partners at the Innovative Artists Agency, and many people thought that he had only been a partner for a year or two.

Cole sighed lightly, Hollywood was originally a small circle, and Century City was a palm-sized place, and the spread of information was even more winged. Whether it was deliberate or purely coincidental, his time advantage was now gone.

Lance obviously didn't expect that it was Terrance who came to visit, and there were two other strange faces who came with him, Roland Perkins (Ro-Hubble), all three of whom were senior agents at the innovative artist agency, menacing, and definitely well prepared compared to Cole.

"I'm still waiting for your call." Terrance brought him and Lance closer together in just one sentence – this was only the second time Lance and Lance had met since George Clooney introduced them to each other last year.

"How I wish it had come from a lady." Lance's clever handling made everyone chuckle, and even Roland and William quickly shortened the distance between them and Lance.

Only then did Lance have time to take a brief look at his office, a desk with six chairs, and freshly brewed coffee on the table. Albert did his best within the limited conditions, and he could feel that the atmosphere in the office had been good all the time.

Albert looked at Lance with an inquiring gaze, as if he was about to retire, but Lance's eyes flashed slightly, and he motioned for him to stay. After receiving the signal, Albert skillfully turned to Terrance, "So where did we just talk about?" When Tom Brady was captured? ”

"Then my TV went black!" Terrance touched his shiny bald head, rubbed his palms and said, triggering an exclamation from everyone, and the common language between men connected everyone lightly, "I originally thought that there was something wrong with the broadcaster, but when I turned my head, it turned out that my wife unplugged the TV." ”

"Oh!" The men collectively wailed, their expressions the same as if their fingers had been caught in a rat trap.

Albert looked at Lance and quietly included Lance in the conversation, "That's why we need to be there to watch the game. Even if someone interrupts, the game is still in sight, right? ”

"You watched the Super Bowl this year?" Terrance also pushed the boat and turned his attention to Lance.

Lance pursed his lips and nodded, "But unfortunately it didn't turn out what I wanted." Everyone in the room had a "I agree" look on their faces, and this is California, and almost no one is a New England Patriots fan.

"So, that's where you became friends with Tom, right?" Roland, who was sitting next to him, spoke.

The incident was not covered by the media because Lance was not worth the attention of the media at all, and it was clear that Roland had received the news from Wade Russell. "I wouldn't say that." Lance shook his head with a smile, "We're not friends, we're just people we know. But, yes, we did meet there. ”

"Since it's not a friendship star, it seems that the work you are about to collaborate on this time is bound to be another masterpiece, so this is enough to impress Tom." Roland's calm words brought the topic to today's core content in the blink of an eye, "I've heard countless news about 'killing people with a knife', and almost everyone is praising this work, and Tom is even more excited. ”

Lance was a little surprised, but when he thought about it, it was expected. Even if "The Day After Tomorrow" has recently been a box office success, the only thing that can make innovative artist agencies go big is to "kill people with a knife" - Wade's appearance at the actors' conference that day was a direct signal. "I hope so." Lance still had a smile on his face that was not arrogant or impatient, but he did not hide the confidence and firmness in his eyes.

Terrance smiled and took over, "Well, let's have dinner tonight and talk about the work in detail." As far as I know, only Tom has a cast for the current production, and trust me, we can provide the best service in all of Hollywood. ”

A simple sentence, but it seems to be meaningful, containing countless information, and the confident and imposing posture does not leave much room for Lance to maneuver. However, Lance did not flinch at all, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never dissipated, "Maybe." But I don't think today is a good time, as you can see, today is a busy day. Without being humble or arrogant, Lance gave Terrance a soft nail. (To be continued.) )
