How did Diorama Pictures get to where it is today?

The reason why they joined forces to get rid of Lance in the first place was because Lance's decision was too bold, too aggressive, and too risky, and almost pushed the company into a tightrope, faltering and frightening. So, after driving the uncertainties out of the company, they are back in charge of the company's decision-making, shouldn't they get back on track? According to Ryan's previous plan, don't be greedy, don't be aggressive, don't take risks, and make steady progress, maybe the company won't have an explosive breakthrough opportunity, but at least it won't face a precarious situation on the edge of the cliff.

But in fact, how do they do it?

The emergence of the "City of God" caused them to be in disarray, and the defeat of "Lost in Tokyo" in a head-to-head showdown disrupted the whole plan, so curbing the rise of Chaos Pictures became another task, because they knew better than anyone that they and Lance were in a situation where they were in a situation where "Troy" was born, then "Ocean's Twelve", and then "Saharan Cavalry......

Unconsciously, they also embarked on the path of giving it a go, and in addition to "Ocean's Twelve" being a planned project, "Troy" and "Saharan Cavalry" can be said to be accidents, and both works are adventure choices for one day and one night of hell. Unfortunately, both "Troy" and "Ocean's Twelve" have failed, and now they have to live with the consequences of their adventure.

If! If they hadn't been so aggressive, had chosen "Troy", slowed down, waited for the results of the "Twelve Arhats" to come out, and then reformulated their plans - in other words, they had not been so anxious to start the "Sahara Cavalry" system, then even if both the "Troy" and the "Twelve Arhats" had failed, they would still have been able to breathe a sigh of relief and slow down their pace.

After a loophole in the capital chain, adjust your strategy, seek financing from venture capital companies or bank loans, and then look for opportunities to find more suitable and secure projects - whether it is a work of art or a commercial film, or seek a more secure cooperation project, so that the company can gain more time to adjust.

But now, they have no more choice, the "Saharan cavalry" must win and win breathing space for them, otherwise there is no need to wait for the release of new works, and the company is likely to be dragged down by a huge financial black hole, and the worst case scenario is to declare bankruptcy.

It's ironic, quietly, the "Saharan cavalry" became the last straw in their hands, whether this was a life-saving straw or a straw that broke the camel's back, Ryan didn't dare to assert.

How did this qiē happen? How did things go completely off the rails? Perhaps, in the very beginning, they did not choose to "expel Lance" because of his boldness and radicalism, because of power, or because of self-esteem, or because of jealousy? So they can't wait to prove themselves; So when faced with the opportunity to fight Lance, he desperately chose to make a move; So in order to defeat Lance, he went on a crazy adventure regardless of his ambition......

Ironically, their choice ended up back in Lance's orbit.

Inexplicably, Ryan remembered Lance's expression on the day he was swept away, "Sue me, it's not because of 'Harry Potter'", he denied it, but there was an incredible look on that handsome face, mockery, contempt, contempt, shock, pain, and the mixed feelings were like a slap in the face, and they were thrown in his face fiercely.

So, is this qiē all manipulated by Lance behind his back? Ryan didn't know, he didn't want to know, and he didn't need to know, because the rise and fall of Diorama Pictures had been related to Lance from the beginning, and it had never been cut off from beginning to end. Lance was like a big mountain, weighing heavily on their heads, and even after Lance left, the competition between them and Lance did not stop. "Lost in Translation" lost to "City of God", "Troy" lost to "The Day After Tomorrow", "Ocean's Twelve" lost to "Murder with a Knife", and Lance can be seen at almost every step of the road to the collapse of Diorama Pictures.

But, does it matter?

It doesn't matter, because when they chose to betray Lance and join forces to sweep Lance out of the house, they were already on the opposite side of Lance, and they would not die, unless one side completely lost the ability to resist, and the war would not end. So they are, and so is Reims.

The only thing Ryan cares about is that he didn't completely snatch away the adaptation rights of "City of God" in the first place, allowing Lance to gain breathing space, otherwise, they would be the ones standing here today to celebrate the victory, and the one whose life was hanging by a thread and surviving was Lance.

"Ryan ......" looked at Tucker with a depressed face, and Jason let out a long breath and turned his head to look at Ryan.

At the premiere of "Troy", the confrontation between him and Lance was like a nightmare, lingering for the past six months, and several times, he wanted to tell Sù Ryan and Tucker that Lance was no longer the person they remembered, but the words came to their mouths, but they couldn't say anything, because they themselves were no longer what they used to be. He doesn't have the right to blame Lance, does he?

But now, the company is standing on the edge of the cliff, should he take the initiative to talk about it? Otherwise, the next thing that will be destroyed is Diora Pictures.

Jason clenched his hands into fists slightly, thinking about how he should speak, only to hear Ryan say, "Does that matter?" The dull voice failed to break the gloom in the office, and Jason was stunned and didn't look up, "It's a life-and-death situation between us and him, what's the point of investigating whether he is behind the scenes?" If it's really him, are you going to go to the door and kneel and beg him to let go? ”

Tucker raised his eyelids, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then it dimmed again, and he didn't speak, but just sneered lowly, and the meaning of his feelings was unknown.

"We have no way back now. The Saharan Cavalry' is the last chance, and only if this film succeeds will we be able to win a respite. Ryan's mind was reorganized, and he cheered himself up, "So, we can't take the publicity after the start of the new year......

Jason raised his head suddenly, publicity, propaganda again, Ryan actually put his desperate bet on publicity?

Ryan felt Jason's eyes at once, and in recent times, they had argued countless times over this issue, so much so that they stopped talking to each other at all, and when "Ocean's Twelve" premiered, they all went separately to the Chinese/Chinese Theater.

Ryan didn't shy away this time, and faced Jason directly, "Are you still so naïve to want to fight with movie quality?" An excellent work, without excellent publicity, the audience will never buy it, this is the essence of modern business society. So, you're right, the quality of the work must be checked, and we must do everything we can to ensure that the film is worth the ticket price; However, at the same time, the propaganda must not be relaxed, this is our last chance. ”

Jason's clenched fist slowly loosened, he knew what Ryan meant - if they got the opportunity, they would definitely not let Lance go, and they would inevitably force Lance into a corner, so that he would never be able to turn over; He also knew what Ryan meant - "Saharan Cavalry" was their last stand, and if the film also lost, then it was very likely that Diorama Pictures would not have the next production, and they must now gather all their energy to carry out the final blow, and the publicity link is the most important. Ironically, Ryan and Tucker have long understood this, but he still has unrealistic so-called "dreams", and he is worried and panicked by the dark face that Lance showed at the premiere of "Troy".

What exactly was he expecting? Looking forward to him and Lance being able to reconcile? Looking forward to him being able to concentrate on making zuò films and then prove himself? Looking forward to him being able to beat Reims openly through guò films? Or is he expecting Lance to forgive him for his choice?

The words that came to his lips were swallowed, turning into a burst of bitterness, and Jason hung his head, his jaw skewed and his beard tingling in his chest.

Ryan retracted his gaze, then grabbed the desk calendar on the table, and threw it directly at Tucker, which made Tucker scramble, even if he sat up again, but still didn't dodge, and was smashed by the desk calendar, "Grass, you cheer me up." Now it's not a question of winning or losing, if the 'Saharan cavalry' loses this time, there will be no future. So, we're not fighting with Reims, we're fighting with the market. "Between life and death, Lance is secondary, and his own survival is the first priority.

Tucker sat up straight, but still a little absent-minded, "Tucker! Tuck! Ryan shouted twice in a row, which made Tucker look up, "Have you forgotten?" The two works of 'The Day After Tomorrow' and 'Killing with a Knife' are both not favored, but they have created a miracle, others don't understand the reason, don't you see it? With the right publicity strategy, accurate publicity methods, and in-place promotional content, both films have achieved unlimited attention before their release, and they have been matched with effective publicity after their release, so they have achieved incredible success! ”

"But we've invested too much money, and we don't have any more money now......" Tucker grumbled, shrugging his shoulders speechlessly. Successive failures have crushed his confidence.

"Stupid!" Ryan directly interrupted Tucker's words, which made Tucker stand up angrily, but Ryan didn't care, "Good, at least you know anger." Have you forgotten about jì? If the Sahara Cavalry fails, there will be no future, so we must mobilize all the resources at our disposal now to show our support for this work, and this is the last resort. Ryan let out a long breath and looked at Jason, "Of course, there's the 'Rwanda Hotel', we're in good shape right now." ”

If the "Rwandan Hotel" could win the Oscars, the situation would be different again.

Ryan clenched his hands into fists, "It's now, the so-called moment of life and death is now." Ryan looked at Jason and then at Tucker, "Trust me, you don't want to lose to Lance. The fist clenched again, tighter and tighter, tighter and tighter, until the green tendons burst out. (To be continued.) )
