George was lost in thought because of Lance's words, and I have to say that Lance's idea is very bold, very retro, but also very modern, completely different from any current way of shooting, it can be said that it has created a new genre, is this the core idea of Lance on the road of exploring the integration of business and art?

This is not unusual, this was the case when "borrowing a knife to kill", Lance followed the narrative method of commercial genre films, but adopted the shooting method of a work of art, using lighting effects to show the changes in mood and the dislocation of the sense of space, and further magnifying the psychology of the characters, and the slightest change is revealed in the lighting.

This bold and unconventional attempt has sparked an exclamation from industry insiders, and it can be called an experimental shooting technique. But the results are undoubtedly gratifying, and "Kill with a Knife" not only achieved great success at the commercial box office, but also allowed Tom Cruise to break the shackles and win the Golden Man for the first time.

In fact, it is not only "borrowing a knife to kill", but also the four works that Lance has released so far, including "The Day After Tomorrow". George couldn't help but wonder, could it be because Lance was influenced by different artistic ideas on the European continent and the North American continent? It's not just a ability, it's a talent.

In addition, George thought a little more far-reaching, and this way of shooting not only meant that Lance had to know all the compositions and all the edits; At the same time, it also means that Lance has a superior understanding of the control of lines, the shaping of characters and the excavation of the core. George won't forget how strong Lance's ambitions for Mad Max 4 were.

If it was just according to George's concept, Lance's method would have been able to present this visual feast, but Lance's intention was not only that, he also wanted to dig deeper into human nature and the end times, which also meant that character scheduling, picture composition, and line connection had to be taken into account, which was very difficult...... It's beyond George's imagination.

Suddenly, George raised his head and looked around, surrounded by twenty-five painters, each with a different expression, but the excitement in his eyes was so similar, as if he wanted to start picking up the brush on the spot and immediately plunged into creation, and the collision and boiling of inspiration were clearly visible in his sight.

So, Lance was deliberately vague at the beginning and didn't point out the story line, and that's why? Leave enough space for the painters to imagine and create, based on his drafts, sketch their own ideas for the end times, and then all the creativity and inspiration collide together, "Bang! "The universe was born after the Big Bang, didn't it?

It was only at this moment that George really understood the reason why Lance had invited twenty-five painters, who in his idea were enough, but the number of those present was five times as many! Because Lance requires the sketches of the storyboards to be accurate and there is no room for error, all the filming of the crew will be based on these storyboards, and any mistake can cause Lance to spend a million or even two million to make up.

"Lance, how many storyboards are you going to draw?" Just when everyone was shocked by Lance's uninhibited approach to filming and tried to digest it, George had already reacted.

"Ten thousand?" Lance shrugged his shoulders and said lightly that this was just a preliminary idea, and that the specifics needed to be progressed gradually, and perhaps more storyboards were needed. Considering that there is no support from computer special effects, this is a necessary means. You can't win 'em all.

But even so, everyone in the room gasped and looked at Lance incredulously.

George's gentle face also showed surprise, "Do you know how much it will cost?" George's words were already euphemistic, and Lance's approach was a foolish act of squandering money in the eyes of major Hollywood studios.

Just like when James Cameron filmed "Titanic", he found that all the porcelain did not have the logo of the White Star Company, so all the costumes, props, and extras were ...... The group did it all over again, and it cost two million dollars to remake the scene. In the eyes of the big companies, it's just an inconsequential logo that no one will pay attention to, but James is not willing to compromise.

Now Lance is pretty much doing the same thing, a "stupid and useless" attempt in the eyes of large corporations.

Lance shrugged, noncommittal. This is also the reason why he asked Ian for a cost of 100 million, this time he will not seek the help of computer special effects, he will meticulously review every picture, and complete the shooting frame by frame, even if the cost is increased from 100 million to 150 million, he will not hesitate!

The surprise in George's eyes turned into approval, and this kind of persistence and madness that outsiders cannot understand is often the criterion of an artist's survival. In fact, George has always believed that the film itself does not distinguish between commercial and artistic attributes, and the focus is on the source of the creator's inner passion. For example, James's masterful use of computer special effects has led him to amazing achievements in the business field; Alfred Hitchcock, for example, mastered the rhythm and atmosphere, and no one can make a horror movie with that kind of texture anymore.

In Lance's case, George saw that almost perverted frenzy, and he genuinely believed that Lance could turn all his ideas into reality.

"What about the lines? Have you ever thought about the lines? "For the first time, I began to wonder how you wanted to shape the ...... these roles. George looked at the other painters next to him and realized that it was best not to reveal too much of the story, so he vaguely brushed it off.

"Imagine something like this." Lance spoke, but didn't hurry to finish in one breath, but waited for everyone to focus their eyes, and then continued, he needed everyone to understand this rock 'n' roll spirit that went deep into the marrow, an almost perverted frenzy, "A man drove a Beetle, pursued the tanker truck relentlessly, and then in the sandstorm, he unplugged all the oil pipes in the car, and the gasoline piled up on the floor of the car like a small pool, flowing down and accumulating rapidly, There was a pungent smell all the way, and it crashed towards the tanker. Then, the man raised the smokeless flame high, lit it, and shouted in the face of the yellow sand in the sky, with great excitement, great excitement, and great selflessness, ......"

Lance also raised his right hand, adjusted his breathing, and his expression began to become crazy, "I am the man who took over the sun and sailed to Valhalla!" Ahhh Lance waved his right hand vigorously and kept roaring, "Witness me! Then he leaned forward, his eyes widened, and he looked at everyone closely, and finally looked up to the sky and shouted, "Witness me!" The draft roll that I was holding in my right hand loosened and fell down.

Involuntarily, everyone's eyes followed the roll down, as if this was a flame, as if there was gasoline underneath, as if it would explode in the next second, but the panic was not as strong as the shock, and everyone was dumbfounded.

“…… What to witness? Kirk, who was standing next to him, didn't hold back and stammered inquiring.

The evil smile on the corner of Lance's mouth bloomed wantonly, and his eyes flashed with desperate madness, "Sacrifice life." ”

"Whew", the sound of gasping was heard in the room again, the kind of emotion that came to the face almost made people unable to make any effective response, but Kirk's eyes were full of fanaticism, it was difficult to suppress the fanaticism, he was really a five-body thrower to the ground with the man in front of him, that whimsical whimsy, eclectic to break all taboos, and forcefully declare his existence, so that he had an urge to prostrate on the ground to worship.

"Isn't this a cult?" Hayden's untimely voice rang out, breaking the momentary deadlock, and in an instant everyone cast stunned glances at Hayden—for Hayden seemed to be the truth!

Lan Stanran nodded, and returned to his usual appearance, as if the evil and crazy man had never appeared before, "That's what I want!" Everyone shouted 'Witness me' and scrambled to offer sacrifices as if that were the most beautiful music of life. This cult-like fanaticism is a deformed concept born in the context of the end times, and it is also the embodiment of pushing the spirit of dark rock to the extreme. Lance looked at the twenty-five painters, his gaze falling on each of them, "Remember, everyone in the story has such a frenzy, a chilling obsession and madness. Perhaps, you can get some inspiration and then express it in the drawing. ”

Lance had finished speaking, but the scene was still silent, no one spoke, and it seemed that everyone was in shock and couldn't come back to their senses. Lance raised his hand and snapped his fingers to bring everyone's attention back together, "Everyone can start a discussion now, if there is a problem, ask it immediately, we need to get to work as soon as possible." ”

From storyboarding to shooting, there's a lot of preparation to be done. Lance wants to launch a Jedi counterattack as soon as possible and not miss this opportunity, but he must ensure the quality of the work, so it can be said that every second counts.

Lance's words were like magic, and in an instant everyone was exchanging glances with each other, and then exchanging opinions excitedly, just opening their mouths, their thoughts were like floods that opened the floodgates, catharsis flowed down, countless inspirations collided in the brain, and if they were not vented at the first time, the brain would explode. The whole room went from quiet to noisy, just a matter of blink of an eye.

Lance looked at George, "You shouldn't be in a hurry to leave, right?" I need to discuss it with you. George's main job now is "Happy Bigfoot", which is why Lance asked.

George chuckled, "My pleasure." ”

"Give me a minute." Lance smiled and nodded, then looked back and saw Percy. (To be continued.) )
