The man's right arm grabbed her left hand and held it firmly next to her ear, while the left hand grabbed her right hand tightly and clasped it next to her thigh, and even her legs were firmly controlled by the man's slender and muscular legs, which made Kayla completely passive, her back leaning against the wall tightly, but the man had to lean in inch, and even the last bit of room to move disappeared. She has nowhere to run. The adrenaline burst in an instant, the excitement and humiliation that rushed up to the head mixed together.

Kayla's first instinct was to lift her knees, hit the man's soft parts, and escape. But the knees were slightly loosened, and the man's legs were slightly forced, directly stopping all her movements. Kayla jerked her head up, looked angrily at the man in front of her, and gritted her teeth to show that she was on the verge of exploding.

But a shadow came straight over, and the man kissed her on the lips fiercely, without any gentle collision, she could even feel the impact of her teeth, and a burst of pain came. But along with the pain, there was also the faint woody aroma, mixed with the smell of dry corks and a hint of musk lingering under the wings of her nose, and then slowly penetrating into the blood through her skin, and she only felt that her whole body was slowly heating up, as if it was about to boil.

Kayla gritted her teeth desperately, her hands and feet were still struggling to resist, but the man barely gave her any chance, and there were such strong and well-proportioned muscles under her seemingly thin body, and the absolute superiority of strength made her resistance look more like coquettishness. This thought jumped into her head, and Kayla suddenly became hot all over.

She only felt the soft tongue invade with a strong force that could not be refused, and her defenses retreated again and again, and finally collapsed, and she let out a low "ah", and then she felt the woody aroma rush down her mouth like a tide into her body in an instant, and the restlessness in her heart began to surge, as if she was soaking in a hot spring.

Kayla only felt that her breath had been completely drained away, and there was no air left in her lungs, which made her instinctively wrap her arms around the man's broad, strong back, and pull closer, and closer. The shame swept over her mind, she knew that she shouldn't be like this, but she couldn't control herself, and in her hazy vision, she only saw a brilliant azure blue, blurry and deep, strong and domineering, and then the last trace of reason in her mind was also burned.

The passage of time no longer seemed to matter, and the whole world stood still.

......Suddenly, a blast of cold air invaded, and Kayla only felt that the touch on her lips disappeared in an instant, and the warm but alienated, hot but cold touch disappeared, leaving only the long silk thread longer and longer.

Kayla almost lost her strength, lying on the man's shoulder, gasping for air, but the woody scent lingering in her nose lingered, making her breathing completely unsteady. Before Kayla could react, the strength that had imprisoned her limbs suddenly loosened, and the muscles in her body began to weaken, and then the man took a step back, and the cold air swept in, causing all the pores on her body to shrink.

Kayla was almost unsteady on her feet, but finally held on to the wall, barely holding on. When he looked up, he found that his eyes were blurry, and he could only see the man's tall back and disappear into the corridor. Without leaving a word, without any hesitation or hesitation, she turned and left, leaving Kayla alone in the empty hallway, and she fled into the bathroom in a hurry.

Kayla stayed in the bathroom for almost twenty minutes, finally tidying up her feelings, which seemed to be a dream, a spring/dream, making Kayla unable to distinguish the difference between reality and dreams. But the slightly red and swollen lips reminded her that this qiē was real.

As she left the bathroom and returned to the office hall, Kayla saw the man again, sitting neatly on a black leather couch in a suit, elegantly flipping through magazines, unfazed, as if nothing had happened. Kayla stood there and stared at him for a moment, as if sensing the gaze, and looked up, then smiled gentlemanly, and then lowered her eyes to the magazine.

This is completely different from the wild and powerful man just now, and the muscles wrapped under the suit seem to be gone. Kayla only felt her cheeks heat again, which made her look back in a panic and walk quickly back to the office.

After thinking about it, Kayla's footsteps stopped again, why was she taken advantage of like this? It was a really nice feeling, but ...... Well, she couldn't justifiably say that she didn't enjoy it just now. But, at least she should know his name, they didn't even introduce themselves!

Turning, Kayla strode up to the man and said condescendingly, "Keira Knightley. ”

The man's gaze shifted from the magazine, with a puzzled look in his eyes. Kayla avoided those eyes a little wolfly, the clear blue as if she could easily read her inner thoughts, Kayla folded her hands in front of her chest, made a defensive gesture, and then tried to keep her words strong, "You haven't introduced yourself yet?" This is not the proper behavior of a gentleman! ”

The man pursed his lips slightly, and the corners of his mouth outlined a small arc, "Lancelot-Strello." ”

It's really damn sexy/sensual! Kayla clenched her fists tightly and began to get angry at herself, opening her mouth to say something, but finding that she couldn't take her eyes off the corner of the man's mouth at all, and finally Kayla could only clasp her palm with her fingernails in frustration, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Strello." ”

After saying that, Kayla didn't give the man a chance to answer, and turned around and left. But in his heart, he was extremely annoyed, "Nymphomaniac! Anthomaniac! Anthomaniac! She couldn't believe that the woman just now was herself! She could have been a little more stupid - she could have just put on a sunflower hood and turn the direction of the man all the time! "Nymphomaniac!"

Lance looked at Kayla's back full of love, and raised his eyebrows slightly, but all his thoughts were quickly retracted, and it was obvious that what had just happened was just a small episode for him. Today, his main purpose is the Weinstein brothers, which is the only purpose, and as for other things, it is just a distraction.

After returning from Rio de Janeiro, Lance immediately plunged into the post-production of "City of God", arranging, editing, posters, trailers, etc., which required a lot of busy work; At the same time, they began to look for a suitable issuing company non-stop.

Diorama Pictures started as a distributor, so Lance clearly knew that distribution would take time to accumulate, and dealing with North American cinemas was definitely not an easy task, Diorama Pictures had been established for six years, and currently only had a cooperation agreement with 1,300 cinemas - compared to the level of 4,000 cinemas in North America, this number can only be considered moderate. In short, if Diorama Pictures wanted to release a movie in 2,000 theaters, it would have to turn to other companies to show the movie in exchange for their theaters in the form of dividends.

After the establishment of Chaos Pictures, Lance devoted himself to the production of the "City of God", and there was no time to start the distribution. What's more, the film "City of God" can only be released in art theaters, and it is a difficult task to reach the sky when it is widely disseminated. Therefore, it is wisest to seek the cooperation of the issuing company.

It will be released in some art theaters, and then seek the platform of the film festival to show itself, create a topic effect or attract the attention of the audience, and strive to expand the scale of the screening, so as to create a possibility to win more box office.

Lance cut out a trailer and a fifteen-minute short film, and then began to use his previous connections to find a distribution company willing to work with.

Focus Pictures was Reims' first target, and it is arguably one of the most established independent studios in the industry, and unlike Miramax Films, they prefer to make their own films and then distribute them. Of course, they are also quite concerned about independent works that have landed at major film festivals, especially in the past two years, in order to compete with Miramax Films, Focus Pictures has lowered the threshold and recruited a wide range of disciples.

Unfortunately, James-Schamus, the founder of Focus Pictures, was not interested at all, and met Lance twice, but he kept going around in circles and didn't really mention the "City of God" at all. Lance vaguely guessed that Focus Pictures is currently focusing on "Lost in Translation" and "Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Mind", which is in the preparation stage, and it is clear that they are very confident in the former.

Later, Lance visited a number of distribution companies, not only medium-sized ones, but also many small ones, and sent at least twenty sample tapes, but never received a reply. Miramax Films, Lance naturally sent it, but he had no dealings with the Weinstein brothers, so there was no interview between them, and there has been no response.

Last week, Lance visited Bowei Pictures, but unfortunately they were not interested in the "City of God", but out of friendship, they asked Lance to come to Miramax Pictures to try their luck, and made a direct phone call to match, so they met today.

Recently, Lance has been hitting a wall everywhere and has not been able to find a suitable way out for the release of "City of God", and as the end of the year gradually approaches, the opportunities will become fewer and fewer, and it will be even more difficult to fight his way through the chaos of the year-end awards season. Therefore, today's opportunity for Miramax Films, Lance must seize it!
