Of course, Lance will not be shaken by Leonardo's anger, even when he "borrowed a knife to kill" cooperation, Lance was also comfortable in front of Tom, not to mention that not long ago Lance gave Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures a closed door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Lance didn't laugh angrily, and said calmly, "Because you don't fit." ”

Simple and clear, but categorical, Lance cut off almost all possibilities, and directly rejected Leonardo as "not suitable", and it seemed that there was no possibility of cooperation at all. This made Leonardo's brow furrow, and he seemed to be on the verge of getting angry at any moment. Instead, Tom, who was sitting across from him, had a thoughtful expression.

Lance didn't immediately rush to explain, but waited for a while, after making sure that Leonardo had no intention of speaking, then continued, "What kind of series is 'Mad Max', I don't know if you know anything?" Lance's gaze circled around the three of them, "Mr. George Miller and I wanted to create a bizarre wasteland world, where everyone lives in a desert, there is no water, and there is a shortage of oil and gas, and everyone must fight to survive, and the style of the whole movie will be more ...... Rough and primitive, so the shooting conditions will be very difficult. The desert is our first choice. ”

Although Lance did not elaborate, in a few words he can depict the hardships of the filming scene, even ten times more difficult than the "City of God".

Leonardo opened his mouth to justify that he also suffered in Southeast Asia in order to shoot the work "The Beach", and as a dedicated actor, this was not a problem for him at all. But this time Lance didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued, "The protagonist in this movie is the chase, not the actor, all the characters have to serve the plot, and the action scenes and chase scenes should occupy most of the place, so the performance space is very limited, this is a commercial film, I will not forget this." ”

Leonardo certainly wouldn't rack his brains for a commercial film with Lance - even if he said so, but they both knew that if Leonardo wanted to make a commercial film, there were countless scripts for him to choose from throughout Hollywood, and he could have chosen a handsome and stylish character to play in such a work as "Impunity".

Choosing to cooperate with Lance, the little golden man is Leonardo's ultimate goal, as if he did everything possible to reach a cooperation with Martin Scorsese, and the first work was "Gangs of New York" starring Daniel Day-Lewis, the reason is very simple.

Comparatively speaking, "Mad Max 4" is not only hard to shoot, but also has limited acting challenges. Leonardo really has no acting value, he is not a box office superstar like Tom Cruise and Will Smith, and in his career as an actor so far, action scenes have never been his forte, nor is it what he is after.

"Also, I've decided to play the lead actor myself, I don't think you want to deprive me of the opportunity to try to be in the limelight on the big screen, right?" Lance said in such a playful way, Tom and Terrance both smiled, Leonardo was stunned, and finally shook his head with a helpless smile.

If Leonardo still had some hesitation just now, then Lance's last sentence gave him a step and officially announced the abandonment of "Mad Max 4". For a supporting role, and then go to the harsh environment of the desert to challenge yourself, and it is still a commercial work without acting challenges? Leonardo, of course, would not choose, and he now finally understood the reason why Lance rejected him.

"So, you mean, there's no place for me in the supporting role?" Despite this, Leonardo is still unwilling to miss Lance easily, even if it is not "Mad Max 4", he also hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, after all, this is the hottest director in Hollywood at the moment, not only "borrowing a knife to kill", even the "fruit hard candy" that is being released makes people see Ellen Paige's wonderful performance, Lance has the magical ability to turn stones into gold, which makes Leonardo covet.

Lance shrugged his shoulders and showed an embarrassed expression, "Are you serious?" I worked with Leonardo DiCaprio and then used him as a supporting character? A joke made everyone laugh out loud, and they all seemed to agree with Lance's point of view.

Lance's words are partly factual, partly white lies. In fact, the main characters in "Mad Max 4" have strict requirements for acting skills, whether it is Max's tough appearance and soft heart, or Ferrosa's softness and strength, heroic and tenacious, or Nax's crazy paranoia, and the weird thriller of the immortal old Joe, these roles will be serious challenges, requiring actors to be able to interpret the madness of metal rock, and if necessary, even require actors to shave their heads or wear earrings to bring out the connotation of the characters. Even if Lance himself decided to play the role of Max, it does not mean that there will be any ease in the acting mission.

However, none of these roles are suitable for Leonardo, and it can even be said that Leonardo's performance will ruin these roles instead.

If you think about it carefully, the roles Leonardo has chosen in the past few years and in the next few years, you can see that he has a heavy baggage, whether it is idol baggage or acting baggage, he is always performing the same type of role, and it is difficult to make subversive breakthroughs. If it is Vincent in "Murder with a Knife", Leonardo may be able to challenge it, but the character in "Mad Max 4", he not only can't perform the essence, but also destroys the image, so this is a more cost-effective choice for Leonardo.

Of course, Lance would not directly uncover other people's wounds, so he chose this roundabout way and rejected Leonardo. Previously, Lance had been ignoring Leonardo's letter because he thought that when Leonardo learned that his latest project was "Mad Max 4", Leonardo would retreat, and as for today's meeting, it was unexpected.

"It's really disappointing." Leonardo shook his head depressedly, "To be honest, I'm really looking forward to working with you. ”

Leonardo looked at Lance with blazing eyes, motionless, without a sentence connecting the previous and the next, obviously waiting for Lance's reply. Lance raised an eyebrow, "I'll be the first to inform you when 'Mad Max 4' is finished. One sentence made Leonardo laugh contentedly.

Perhaps, for Leonardo, Lance was his springboard for the Golden Man; But for Reims, Leonardo was his springboard to break the blockade. The dispute between Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures seems to have come to an end for the time being, but Lance is not so naïve, and he can clearly feel the resistance in the circle recently in order to assemble a crew for "Mad Max 4".

Photographer team, gaffer team, makeup artist team, props team...... Almost every team has more or less scratched the nail on the head when looking for senior and professional talent. Objectively speaking, there are not 100,000 but 80,000 behind-the-scenes staff in Hollywood, and it is not difficult to form a team, but it is not so simple to find a strong team with real materials.

The problem now is not just that Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures are stumbling behind their backs, but that insiders know that Lance has an unpleasant quarrel with the six major film companies, and some people simply refuse to cooperate with Chaos Pictures, after all, it is not cost-effective to offend the six major for a Chaos Pictures; Some people are taking advantage of the fire to rob, they are willing to cooperate with Chaos Pictures, but with the momentum of this blockade, they are constantly raising prices. This is not good news for Chaos Pictures.

To make matters worse, Burbank's main studios are now fully booked by major studios, which means that it will be extremely difficult for Chaos Pictures to find a suitable location to shoot in the short term, and if "Mad Max 4" needs to shoot in the studio, it will either be forced to rent a studio in Canada - maybe even Canada can't rent it, or pay double or even triple the cost of renting, which means that the cost side needs to be increased again.

It is conceivable that if Lance were to rent props, the cost might also go up; If Lance were to occupy the streets of the city of Los Angeles, the formalities could be more cumbersome or procrastinating...... Small actions like this behind the scenes, in the intertwined Hollywood, are just a matter of saying hello to large film companies, but they can bring huge difficulties to Chaos Pictures, which is also a direct reflection of the huge gap between independent film companies and large film companies.

Relatively speaking, the actors are much better, after all, the actors are not so closely connected to the big studios, on the contrary, they are more closely connected with the directors. But considering the cooperation between major film companies and agencies, as well as the influence of producers on actors, Lance still encountered some obstacles.

If actors of Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio's calibre are willing to break the game and take the initiative to work with Lance, it will play a crucial role in alleviating the predicament. After all, the Big Six studios have big business, but they can't control the whole of Hollywood.

Therefore, if Leonardo is willing to join, Reims will naturally agree. It's just that "Mad Max 4" doesn't quite fit.

Despite this, Lance has already figured it out, and when he returns, he will call Dorothy and release the news - Leonardo wants to join "Mad Max 4", and the rest of the crew's work is bound to be smoother.

"I heard...... Tomorrow's public audition will be special? When he was done, Tom raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, and before the words fell, Terrance and Leonardo both smiled heartily - a tacit understanding that only exists between men. (To be continued.) )
