Lance's outspokenness embarrassed Lang a little. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is not in the content of the words, but in the way Lance expresses himself, without any concealment or politeness, and the horizontal knife immediately stated his position, and Lang really couldn't get off the stage. But it was precisely because of this that Lang felt more and more Lance's decisiveness.

Angelina Jolie and Lance don't deal with each other very well, this matter is not a secret in Hollywood at all, Angelina openly expressed her disdain for Lance in an interview, and she has no intention of hiding it at all; And the-for-tat confrontation between Brad Pitt and Lance is also in the eyes of people, and it is conceivable how Angelina, who is now in love with Bradron, will react; Angelina, who dares to love and hate, has never had any scruples.

However, in this circle where interests are paramount, everyone knows that it is necessary to leave a bottom line in order to avoid falling into embarrassment in the future. Therefore, unless it is a deep hatred, few people will completely tear their faces - even if it happens, it will happen more between actors, because of the director's transcendent status, actors will rarely have a head-on conflict with the director, especially the famous big-name directors.

Lance is now a popular figure in Hollywood, even if his brazenness angers many people, as long as he does not violate the bottom line, as long as Lance can continue to make money, he is a Hollywood darling; If "Fury Road" can still achieve good results under the bombardment of this summer, then he is truly unstoppable. At that time, Lance will let out his words and refuse to cooperate with a certain actor, and it will definitely be the actor who suffers.

It's like Universal Pictures, before deciding on this project, Lang investigated it in advance, and determined that the relationship between Lance and Angelina was just a trivial matter, the two had never really interacted, and those scandals were all fake; The two of them haven't really torn their faces either, not even head-to-head. Lang didn't want to offend Lance and lead to the failure of the project cooperation, so after confirmation, he took the initiative to mention Angelina's intention to join today.

However, it is clear that things are not so simple, and there must be something wrong with his investigation. Lance's directness, more than an accident, Lang is more curious, what happened between Lance and Angelina?

"So...... Are you worried about the proportion of remuneration dividends, or the distribution of power among the producers......" Lang slowed down his speech and asked tentatively to further see Lance's attitude, "If that's the case, you can rest assured that we have enough sincerity and we have enough trust in your ability." ”

The implication is that Universal Pictures is definitely still dominated by Lance, and Angelina is not a problem at all.

Lance chuckled, then retracted the corners of his mouth, and his words were relaxed but not angry, "No, my words mean literally. ”

It seems to be a personal vendetta, and there is no room for compromise. Lang sniffed out the anomaly and made a decision on the spot, "Of course, of course, there is no problem." Those who are not related are out of our blueprint. Giving up Angelina and choosing Lance, Long made his choice with little to no need to rethink it a second time.

Lance was a little surprised, not Unexpected Lang's choice, but Unexpected Lang's decisiveness.

Lance doesn't take things personally, on the contrary, he keeps a clear head, some can cooperate, some can take advantage of, and some don't have to expend. Angelina is obviously the last one, Lance has no masochistic tendencies, no intention of repaying grievances with virtue, and no naivety of making wedding dresses for others.

"Then you can send me the outline of the story and the first version of the script, and when I finish reading it, we will talk further." Since Lang showed his sincerity, Lance did not twist and indulge in the past anymore, and generously gave a positive reply.

Lang naturally heard the friendliness that had reappeared in Lance's voice, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It can be heard that Angelina probably really offended Lance, and after such gossip spreads, Angelina's prospects in Hollywood are bound to become bumpy.

Of course, this is not to say that because Lance alone, all film companies banned Angelina, Hollywood does not work like this. But when the major film companies are preparing for the project, they will inevitably have a balance in their hearts, if Lance is taken into account, they will inevitably consider Angelina for the time being, and only after Lance refuses to cooperate, Angelina will reappear on the list of considerations. In short, Angelina's potential opportunities will be greatly reduced, and the chances of encountering excellent works will naturally plummet.

The inexplicable "priority list" is how Hollywood works.

Between top directors and top actors, major film companies are always on the director's side, the reason is very simple, there are countless actors, and there are not a few excellent actors, but really outstanding directors are very rare and rare, and directors who can make money for film companies and kill all sides in the awards season are even rarer, just look at Steven Spielberg's list of executive production works and directorial works, it can be seen.

The director M-Knight Shyamalan, who filmed the "Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", was nicknamed "Pit All Over the Six", which means that after the peak of the director's second work "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", Knight fell into the whirlpool of making a work and smashing a work, and he could never turn over. But what's even funnier is that after the failure of every work, he was magically able to receive the project again, and he pit the six major Hollywood film companies all over again, which is really laughable.

Why does Knight get the project again and again after repeated failures? In addition to the fact that Indian capital on Wall Street hopes to support directors with international representation in their country, the most important reason is that excellent directors are hard to find. The six major film companies always hope that they will regain the glory of the "supernatural sixth sense"?

Even Knight can enjoy such treatment, let alone Lance, who has not tasted defeat so far.

Long could already foresee that once Lance's wanted warrant for Angelina leaked, Angelina's career prospects in Hollywood would be struggling in quicksand. Long has already begun to think about how he should let Lance's wanted notice out - since the industry will know sooner or later, he might as well sell Lance's favor and take the initiative to spread it, and he must fight for more opportunities for Universal Pictures before the release of "Fury Road", while other competitors are still waiting and seeing.

"If needed, I can arrange for you to meet with Mark Miller and you can personally exchange your views on the story and the script." Lang actively offered help, which seemed to be the treatment after the signing of the Reims project, and the proactive attitude can be seen.

"I'll look at the synopsis first." Lance declined Lang's kindness, although he was interested in "Wanted", it was far less than "Iron Man", and he still kept a clear head between trade-offs, but Langston paused and changed the topic, "I heard rumors last night that Universal Pictures recently intends to bring the Bruce Banner story to the big screen again?" ”

Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk.

Lang obviously didn't expect Lance to take the initiative to mention this project, but think about it carefully, he has now gotten the news, Lance has shown enough interest in the adaptation of "Iron Man", plus the previous "Sin City", "Superman Returns", etc., if Lance is a comic book fan, Lang is definitely not unusual, this is also his original intention to hand over the "Wanted" to Lance, isn't it?

"We're in discussions, but there's no clear direction yet." Lang gave an ambiguous answer, "You know, we've been through it several times. The self-deprecating tone made Lance chuckle.

In Marvel Comics, the Hulk's popularity can be said to be second only to Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, far exceeding Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow and so on, which were fanatically sought after in later generations. The reason for this is that the Hulk is inherently tragic, as a scientist, he himself is synonymous with elegance and intellectuality, but he has mutated into a beast that has lost his mind, and people have placed on him the tragic heroic emotions of rebellion against authority but self-destruction, and empathize with him.

But the Hulk's journey to the big screen was particularly bumpy, and he put forward proposals many times, but failed to make it due to many reasons, until 2002, Universal Pictures found Lee / Ann to take over, at that time Lee / Ann, who had just conquered Hollywood with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", was ambitious and ready to do a big job, but the result made Lee / Anxin discouraged, on the one hand, the filming concept of large film companies made him stretched, on the other hand, the humanistic care he injected into his works was incompatible with the popcorn style of commercial films, and finally " Hulk "didn't get a box office, didn't win word of mouth, and even sent Lee/Ann's career to a low point - this led to the advent of "Brokeback Mountain".

Now, Universal Pictures has once again put the Hulk project on the agenda, but this time they are much more cautious, unwilling to act rashly, lest they completely ruin the possibility of almost a future adaptation of the project.

But Lance knew that 2008's "The Incredible Hulk" still suffered a loss of word-of-mouth and box office, which made Universal Pictures lose confidence, which directly led to the Hulk project being completely hidden, although Universal Pictures agreed to share the copyright and let the Hulk appear in the "Avengers", and the Hulk also won a lot of popularity, but before Lance was reborn, Universal Pictures still did not make it clear that it would restart the Hulk project.

Lance's light laugh came from the earpiece, and Lang's thoughts turned slightly, "What? Are you interested in this project? ”

Lance's answer is reasonable, but definitely unexpected, "Yes, I've always found Bruce Banner a very interesting character, even in a feature film, and I think he's a more worthy character than Bruce Wayne." Lance's answer made Lang open his mouth slightly in surprise. (To be continued.) )
