"The Incredible Hulk" wants to stick to the mysterious route like "Fury Road", which is completely impossible, if Lance continues to block the news, the pervasive paparazzi will only annoy Burbank's set, on the contrary, Lance should make reasonable use of the media, choose the right time to break some insider stories and tidbits, and even have some interaction with the "Iron Man" crew, and advance layer by layer to warm up the movie.

However, the timing of the revelation was crucial for Reims.

The linkage of the two works of "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk", Lance believes that the old foxes of those movie studios can smell the abnormality, even if they can't see the entire blueprint of the Marvel Universe, they can also feel the confidence of Chaos Pictures to try to use the Marvel adaptation of the movie as a breakthrough, then the next thing is for the Eight Immortals to cross the sea and show their powers.

As Disney, who acquired Marvel in the previous life, Lance is not too worried at this time, because Chaos Pictures has a five-work cooperation contract, and before the release of "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk", Marvel Studios will not act rashly for the time being, and Disney will not take risks easily; Relatively speaking, Warner Bros., who holds the DC universe in his hands, is the big problem, but don't say that Chaos Pictures is just rising now, even if the other five major studios join forces, they can't decide on Warner Bros.'s film plan, as long as Barry Meyer grits his teeth and what works to shoot is their business.

So, the question is: Does Warner Bros. have the courage? In the case of the box office fiasco of "Superman Returns", how will they choose? Try again on the spot? Or wait for the box office results of "Iron Man" to be released before making a judgment? Aside from the upcoming "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", will they be eager to take the plunge?

Lance's original plan was to delay it for a while, and then he used the DC Universe and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" to contain Barry for a period of time, showing his intention to cooperate, and then using the Coen brothers as a cover to sacrifice the banner of "No Country for Old Men". Or use Edward Norton as a cover, claiming that "The Incredible Hulk" is Edward's favorite project, and persuaded Lance many times before and after, successfully impressing Lance...... And so on, and then announce the shooting plan.

On the one hand, it is to make the situation more chaotic and confusing, and to cut off the close connection between "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk" as much as possible, hoping that the more competitors and the more complicated the situation will cooperate with Lance, the better the effect; On the one hand, it is also waiting for the Warner Bros. civil strife - the loss of the summer troika is estimated to be officially completed in October and November, which will have an impact on Warner Bros. filming plans for the next year or even three years, and even there will be doubts about Barry within the board of directors, which will ease their courage to develop the DC Universe, after all, "Harry Potter" is their ace series, and the box office momentum is still unsurpassed, they have no need to impulsively develop the DC Universe, they can wait.

But the plan can't keep up with the change, not just because of Dylan Wilde's containment, and not just because of Robert Downey Jr.'s PR crisis. In fact, Lance clearly knows that maybe the other people at the helm don't know that in that detail, but Barry Mayer knows enough about the DC Universe and the Marvel Universe to completely hide it from the Warner Brothers, which is almost an impossible task, and Warner Bros. puts the DC Universe on the agenda, which is a matter of time, and his efforts are only to slow down the process - just wait until the second quarter of next year, when the real estate bubble appears, and the opportunity for Chaos Pictures will come.

In such a situation, Lance smelled an opportunity - an opportunity to firmly control Robert Downey Jr. in his hands, because Lance clearly knows how profitable the "Iron Man" series is, not only a series of movies, but also the entire peripheral development system, Iron Man's related products have created hundreds of millions of fortunes, and Robert Downey Jr.'s self-blackening, naughty, and funny contributions are indispensable. Rather than guarding against Warner Bros. - the effect is estimated to be limited, it is better to focus on developing itself, if you can sign multiple film contracts at a low salary in one go, like Chris Evans, at least you can save Chaos Pictures 100 million to 150 million in salary expenses.

Of course, Hollywood's contract is not so rigid, for example, Chris Evans, although he signed a six-film contract with an ultra-low salary of 300,000, but in fact, by the time of "Avengers 2", his salary still rose to 5.9 million, second only to Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson. The film company also understands that if you squeeze the actors hard, the cooperation will not be long-term, so within a reasonable range, they will also choose to make concessions. Once "Iron Man" becomes popular, Robert Downey Jr. will definitely not give up easily.

However, this is still crucial for Chaos Pictures, which has no Wall Street financial backing. 100 million to 150 million, this is equal to the cost of a commercial film, and it is still a big production. Different positions naturally have different considerations, as a producer, as the helmsman of Chaos Pictures, how to achieve the most profitable effect at the cheapest cost, this is the core focus of his constant thinking, and he will never be merciful because of his empathetic identity as an actor.

So, after a brief judgment in his head, Lance immediately made a deal with Dylan.

Flipped the film in his hand, such a thing in Hollywood is not unusual at all, not to mention that Dylan did not photograph evidence that Robert Downey Jr. directly used/drugged, even if he did, it was not a serious matter, the point is when such negative news broke out and who it was aimed at.

Robert only came out of rehab / drug / center again last year, and spent nearly a year and a half reshaping his image, relying on his connections to star in many independent films, little by little to reverse the negative image of the past ten years, and now "Iron Man" is his best chance to turn over, regardless of the success or failure of the movie, as long as he can play a superhero, this means that he has truly reformed himself. Although it is said that the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing, people are always looking forward to the return of the "prodigal son", and his future career development curve will be completely different.

In such a stall, the weight of this roll of film is worth a thousand gold.

After separating from Dylan, Lance walked back into the car, and after driving home, he dialed his mobile phone number, and the phone rang for only a while, and the other party answered, "Hey, see who called me?" Isn't this the man that all of Hollywood is tracking right now? Terrance Cox's slippery voice came through the earpiece.

Lance walked under the parasol in the garden and sat down at the beach lounger, "So, are you keeping an eye on my whereabouts as well?" ”

"Of course. Honestly, I have a project on hand right now, Sidney Pollack, John-Logan, Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, Annette Bening, Meryl Streep are all considering the possibility of getting involved, how about it, would you be interested in taking the lead? As long as you nod your head, we'll be ready for pre-production in two weeks, provided you're happy with the script, of course. Terrance crackled like a machine gun, and his skill and professionalism were indeed commendable, "By the way, there's another surprise in this script, let me give you a hint: London's West End, musicals, famous plays." I think you'll be satisfied. ”

Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, could it be "Sweeney Todd"? He has almost forgotten about this work, when he was in Berlin, Laurie MacDonald solemnly invited him to take over the project, but for the sake of the Marvel Universe, he did not include it in the scope of thinking at all, I didn't expect that after going around for so long, the first choice of this work is still him, but now and there is not much difference between now and before, Lance will not accept other director's works in a short time, even if it is "old and nowhere to go", he has not replied to the Coen brothers for the time being, "The Incredible Hulk" is the priority.

"Hehe, you should be more concerned about the whereabouts of the artists under you than me." Lance crossed Terence's invitation and returned to his focus.

Terrance's temples couldn't help jumping, why did Lance's words sound like words? However, Terrance was not so easily led by the nose, "So, you are saying that you are going to fire Cole Greid and come to our company?" It was interpreted in a different way.

"It's a way of interpreting." Lance didn't refute either, smiling and nodding his chin in affirmation, "But my interpretation is a little different. For example...... Take care of your/artist, don't say that you haven't signed a contract with our crew, even if you do, I can fire him directly, and let the paparazzi catch him with drugs/dealers/subs, and come to the door to blackmail my exclusive. If this kind of/happens again, I will let him know what it means to be lust/immortal/desire/death. ”

The sharpness and sharpness in Lance's words were revealed, and they fell down like a storm, and Terrance's expression suddenly became serious, his brows furrowed slightly, and his head was running quickly. Although Lance didn't explain the ins and outs clearly, just a few words were enough to piece the whole thing together, Terrance couldn't help but grit his teeth and cursed secretly, such a thing is a huge blow to the reputation and fame of the agency, because the actor's personal problems have affected the crew, and the agency has no room for argument, Terrance's temples began to ache faintly, but he still held back his anger and calmly replied, "Are you sure this is true?" "For the sake of insurance, Terrance still needs to make sure.

"You can call to confirm." Lance's understated words made Terrance's heart sink hard.
