Emma looked at the business card in front of her, her neatly trimmed nails were fluorescent under the golden sunlight, penetrating the blurred halo, and she could vaguely see the deep blue, as if there was a gentle and pleasant sound of waves in her ears, and unconsciously, she raised her right hand, took the business card, put it in the palm of her hand, and carefully felt the residual temperature on the business card.

In fact, she didn't plan to take this business card originally.

Sebastian let out a long breath, turned to look at Emma, and said sincerely, "I was rude just now, I mean seriously, if you are interested in acting......" But Emma didn't listen to these words, her only thought was: she had wronged Lance just now.

Instead of standing idly by, Lance offered to help in a more direct and effective way, much more affordable than George's lip service. Recalling the previous two times Lance reached out to help, but did not seek anything in return, his misunderstanding became more and more ridiculous, which made Emma's cheeks flush, and she looked up to apologize to Lance.

However, when he looked left and right, he didn't see Lance at all, and it seemed that George was gone, which made Emma a little stunned. "They're gone." Sebastian's voice rang out next to him, and Emma stomped her foot in chagrin, she didn't apologize to him, she didn't thank him, and more importantly...... She hadn't even introduced herself to him, and he still didn't know who she was.

Wait, isn't it...... Did he really not remember himself? Emma carefully recalled the previous two meetings in her mind, and the details emerged one by one, and the possibilities were expanding endlessly, which made Emma even more ashamed.

"Hey, little lady, little lady!" Emma's thoughts were interrupted again, little lady, this is what Lance called her, but when she looked up, she saw Sebastian's cute smile, and then she remembered Lance's teasing just now, Coach Anthy, which made the smile on the corner of Emma's mouth no longer hold back, and she laughed out loud.

This time, though, Emma quickly relented, "Mr. Derek, I'm sorry, please forgive me for my rudeness. Emma quickly apologized, "I just had a bad day...... Emma tried to explain, but the words were cut off here, because now her mood was like a sunset, extremely bright, and her smile was gently outlined, "In addition, my mother seems to have a plan for my agent, so I am reluctant to accept your business card, I'm sorry that my attitude was not very good just now." ”

Emma wanted to be an actress, which is why she came to Los Angeles. In order to realize her dream of being an actress, she even made a slideshow called "Hollywood Project" by herself, and then used Madonna's song "Hollywood" to convince her parents to drop out of school and leave her hometown to pursue her dream in California.

However, since she is only 14 years old this year, her mother is more cautious and hopes to inquire about everything before making a decision. So, even when she met the favor of her agent on the street, she did not waver lightly.

"Oh, I see, sorry, that's my abruptness." Sebastian hurriedly apologized, but his face could not hide his disappointment.

I don't know if it was influenced by Lance, or if Coach Anthy was too impressed, Emma felt a burst of sympathy in her heart, feeling that her rejection seemed too direct. What's more, she really doesn't have an agent now, maybe she can show her business card to her mother when she goes back. "Emma Stone."

Emma's sudden self-introduction caught Sebastian off guard, "What? ”

"I said, my name is Emma Stone." The Emma imp stretched out her immature little palm and placed it in front of Sebastian.

Sebastian was stunned, and then solemnly shook Emma's right hand as well, "Hello, Emma, I'm Sebastian Derek." Nice to meet you. ”

After Lance and George left the café, the two went their separate ways and went their separate ways.

When he got home, Lance felt in his pocket, and when he took out the Skittles, he found a piece of cardboard floating on the ground, and when he picked it up, it was Terrance Cox's business card. Lance took a closer look, this card is well-made, simple and generous, and the shading has also been carefully designed, and it can be seen that Terrance is not a simple little character.

After thinking about it, Lance finally put the business card in the glove box on the shelf, he knew that he needed an agent to handle the business, but so far, he couldn't trust anyone lightly. Anyway, I haven't had a lot of work lately, and even without an agent, Percy alone is enough to cope. As for the future...... I'll talk about that later.

The ringtone of the "Jingle Bell" phone rang, and Lance followed the ringtone and found the phone from his handbag, "This is Lancelot." ”

"Lance, this is Percy." A voice came from the other end of the phone, "Are you comfortable talking now?" Percy naturally knew about Lance's meeting with George today, although he didn't know the feud between Lance and George—anyone who knew about "good night, good luck" could count them on one hand, but he knew that Lance was now a strong enemy and must not be taken lightly.

"I just got home, let's talk." Lance took a packet of Skittles, took off his leather shoes, and walked barefoot all the way down the hall to sit down on the couch.

"I've inquired, Twentieth Century Fox is indeed preparing such a disaster film, but the director and screenwriter have all been decided, of course, the cast has not yet begun to be selected, if you want to ......" Percy faithfully reported the information he had gathered, but the words were interrupted by Lance, "Are the directors and screenwriters signed?" ”

"Nope." Percy replied, "There is no formal project yet, let alone a contract." The news I heard was that the script was not very satisfactory, it was being revised, and neither the director nor the writer could agree with the producers. Twentieth Century Fox plans to hand over to Lionsgate, but two other production companies are competing and they have not signed a contract for the time being. ”

"For a disaster movie, the important thing is not the script, but the special effects and rhythm." Lance said casually.

Just like for a movie like "Transformers", it makes no sense to pursue the meticulousness of the script, the ups and downs of the story, and the integrity of the characters, and the reason why genre movies are called genre movies is because different movies focus on different things, and the only requirement for popcorn commercial movies is an explosion of adrenaline. When it comes to how to make a popcorn commercial film successful and win the hearts and minds of audiences, rhythm control and atmosphere rendering are crucial, and Michael-Bay knows this very well.

Lance just commented for a moment, and then retracted his attention, "So, now it can be said that nothing is certain, except for the certainty that there is such a disaster movie?" ”

Percy was dumbfounded by Lance's rebuttal, he originally thought that the director and screenwriter had been decided, and the partner company was basically determined to be Lionsgate, which was tantamount to a certainty. But listening to Lance say this, in fact, no contract has been signed, and Twentieth Century Fox has not even been approved, so it seems that nothing has been determined.

Percy was stunned and came back to her senses, "So, are we planning to join this competition?" ”

Lance didn't affirm, but he didn't deny either, "Do you know the script has been revised, whose problem is it?" Percy gave a negative answer, it is not so easy to find out such small news, "So the screenwriter has not changed from beginning to end?" ”

"Nope." Percy was a sure, "Jeffrey-Nachmanoff was in charge of writing it all along, a screenwriter who had never heard of his name, and if the Writers Guild's records were correct, this was his first work." ”

Percy is really very capable, even without Lance's explanation, the matter has been investigated very thoroughly, and all the corners have been confirmed.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's Roland-Emmerich's German folk, whom he recommended to Twentieth Century Fox." Lance's words were speculative, but his tone was very affirmative, "Ask me where Jeffrey has been working lately, if in the studio...... Then think of other options. At this point, Langston paused, and suddenly changed the subject, "Yes, we're going to join this competition." Not only as a production company, but also as a producer, it is better to be able to snatch the position of director and producer, and our company will be fully responsible for the filming of this film. ”

Percy's jaw dropped slightly, this is a $125 million investment! However, Percy did not question Lance's words, but said with some uncertainty, "We don't seem to have enough staff in our company, do we?" "You can't let all of them be Twentieth Century Fox, right?

This is not "Troy". Competing "Troy" is mainly to make a "competitive" posture and make others believe it; Competing for this work, this is a real game, naturally it is impossible to say that "Chaos Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox will make half of the staff on one side" Such a hasty proposal, if this is the case, let alone compete with Lionsgate, it is estimated that it will not even be able to go up to the negotiation table.

When filming "City of God", the entire crew consisted of eight people, but now it's different. If you have a big system, you don't have to have a big lineup. The time has come for Chaos Pictures to expand for the first time, and the profits of the "City of God" are estimated to be spit out.

"I'll make a list in two days, and you and Albert will go to the door one by one to see how many people we can hire." Some people can be pulled into Chaos Pictures as descendants to prepare for the future; Others are mercenaries, and short-term use can make a huge difference.

"Albert? Can't I go with Hayden? Percy rubbed his temples a little depressedly, and his head ached at the thought of Albert's noise.

Lance raised his eyebrows, "Albert is the one who really knows how to do it, Hayden's words ......" The lighting team and the photography team are still more familiar with Hayden, "Then the three of you can go together." ”
