After a moment's hesitation, Cole said uncertainly, "Maybe we should give Lance a call." "Cole's eyes fell on Dorothy, after all, the college's public relations is mainly Dorothy's job, and now he asks Lance's opinion, which is tantamount to dismantling Dorothy's stage, and he doesn't know how Dorothy will react.www.biquge.info

Dorothy didn't answer immediately, she thought it was just a joke at first, but then she realized the urgency in Cole's eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth slowly began to solidify, and her eyes gradually settled into thought, "Actually, it's a good idea, Lance can always come up with shocking ideas, doesn't he?" ”

In addition to the rest, just talking about the distribution plans and publicity strategies of the previous works, Lance's use of the Internet has opened the door to a whole new world for the whole of Hollywood.

Dorothy's approval made Cole hesitate a little, and he propped his hands on the armrests of his chair, and crossed his fingers to look at Dorothy's expression, exploring whether Dorothy was joking or sincere. Dorothy gave a roll of the eyes to Cole's reaction, "I'm not an agent, it's my job to maximize the resource effect." ”

After being taunted by Dorothy's counter-general, Cole shrugged his shoulders and didn't react too much, letting go of his hands and pressing the call button on the phone on the desk, connecting to his assistant, "Ariana, help me connect to Lance." Cole looked up at the clock on the wall and said to himself, "I don't know how the crew is doing at this point." "At this time, it was more than two o'clock in the afternoon in Los Angeles and nine o'clock in the evening in Namibia.

The phone rang for a while before it came through, and Percy's voice came out of the hands-free earpiece and echoed through the office, "This is Percy. "Concise and clear, cold and indifferent, even in the face of the familiar Cole, there is not much intimacy.

However, Cole had long been accustomed to Percy's style, and he didn't care at all, "Percy, this is Cole. Did the crew call it a day today? ”

"Yes, it was called a day thirty minutes ago." Percy's answer was still refined, "You're looking for Lance?" ”

"Is he free now?" Cole now also knows Lance's habits, and after joining the crew, he devoted himself to it, forgetting to sleep and eat until he almost went crazy, so even if the day's work is over, it doesn't mean that Lance is free. Percy answered in the affirmative, but Cole immediately stopped Percy, "Wait, wait and call him, I'll ask you first." Did you tell Lance about the Golden Globe winners? How did he react? ”

"Interesting." Percy's answer stunned Cole, "He said, 'It's funny.'" This caused Cole and Dorothy to exchange glances, and neither of them quite understood what Lance's reaction was about, so they couldn't help but ask. Percy was not surprised, because when they heard Lance's answer, they were also full of question marks, and Michael Fassbender was even more upset with Lance, "Lance said that he expected George to fight back, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, obviously Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures have reached some agreement behind it." ”

Percy didn't go into details, but Cole and Dorothy couldn't help but exchange glances again. In fact, they all have similar speculations, not only Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures, but also Twentieth Century Fox, and since the Hollywood Foreign Press Association dares to issue such a result, it must not be afraid of media accusations, and there must be an unknown deal behind it.

However, speculation is always just speculation, and even if this is true, they are helpless, and in the face of giants like the six major film companies, their room for maneuver is really limited.

Cole let out a long sigh of relief, he was originally worried that after Lance escaped from Africa, he really pinned all his hopes on "Mad Max 4" and gave up "Fruit Hard Candy". But now it seems that it is obvious that Lance also has a ravine, and will definitely not surrender easily. If you think about it further, did Lance really leave the whole of Hollywood behind him and let George turn over the river? This is obviously impossible, just look at the fate of Diorama Pictures.

It seems that the choice of this call was the right one.

"Cole?" Lance's voice came from the other end of the phone, a magnetic voice with some tiredness, but the mood was very clear, and you could feel that today's shoot should be relatively smooth. Otherwise, after nearly two months in the endless desert, he would have been on the verge of collapse, "I happen to have something to do with you, you go to Dorothy today, and ask her to go to Green Ridge Street tomorrow for a meeting with James Corden." ”

"Hey, Lance." Dorothy took the initiative to say hello.

"Oh, Dorothy, you're there too?" Lance greeted briskly, but then there was a murmur around him, and Lance could be heard intermittently explaining, "Albert...... Rehearse again...... The weight of the explosion was too small...... Uh-huh, yes, yes, that's it. I have something to do now, and I'll talk about it later. Then Lance's voice came from far and near, "Where did we just go?" With a "pop" of the door slamming shut, the surrounding noise fell silent, "Yes, a meeting." I was going to have a conference call with James later, and explain the matter, and you and James will have a meeting tomorrow to discuss the specific situation, but you just called now, so I'll tell you first. 'Fury Road' can be set. ”

Belch......

Cole and Dorothy were not mentally prepared, and Lance did not think about it at all nor waited, and directly threw a bombshell, which made both of them a little stunned for a while.

"Fury Road" is set? The problems of the awards season have not been solved, and they have already begun to work on the box office sniping of commercial blockbusters? Isn't their main purpose today for the prospect of "hard fruit candy" at the Oscars? What about Warner Bros., Sony Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox? And what about George Clooney? Isn't that a little too jumpy? Wait...... "Fury Road" is about to be finalized! Could it be that the filming is over? The second wave of publicity in the early stage is still in full swing, and now it is about to be warmed up for the release? With such a fast pace, is it okay to be sure of quality? What the hell was Lance thinking?

In the end, it was Cole who came back to his senses first and coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment, "Lance, the movie is about to finish?" ”

"No, no, it's still early." Lance laughed lightly, there is still a third of the film left unfilmed, and this third is precisely the high/high of the whole work, whether it is a fight scene or an explosion scene, it will be more grandiose, and it will be more exciting, conservatively estimated, at least until late February, if the desert weather is not cooperative or the filming process is delayed, it is very normal to delay until mid-March. "Even if you miss the Oscars, it's not just impossible, it's a very likely scenario."

Lance's words were so relaxed that he could hear them, and he was mentally prepared for them, and he was not surprised by such a situation. But Cole and Dorothy's faces are not very good--if Lance really missed the Oscars?

But Lance didn't pause, adding, "But if nothing else, the shoot will be done by the end of March." Therefore, I hope that the film can participate in the competition for this year's summer file. This was the original goal of Lance's "Fury Road" project, because 80% of the film was actually filmed, and Lance strictly adhered to the timeline during the filming process, which led to an extremely difficult shooting process, but the post-production was relatively easy.

According to Lance's estimates, all post-production could be completed by June. But there are accidents in everything, and in order to avoid accidents that lead to unpreparedness, or even forced to change the schedule, it will really outweigh the losses. So, after much deliberation, Lance made this decision-

"July. The movie is best set in July, and I will let James discuss it internally first, and then test the tone of the major theaters, and finally draw up a suitable schedule. However, the best-case scenario is the second or third week of July. Lance spoke his mind.

Dorothy is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and quickly came to her senses, "So, you want to start promoting the movie now." "If it's released in July, it seems a little early to warm up, and it's too late to wait until April or May. But "Fury Road" is a different work.

This work has always been on the cusp since the beginning of the project, and the active publicity during the filming process has caused heated discussions on the Internet, even in the midst of the awards season boom, the topic of "Fury Road" is still high on the Internet. As long as they can continue this momentum and spread the word, by July, the expectations for the "Fury Road" will reach an incredible height. Just, in this case...... Once the quality of the work does not meet expectations, it will inevitably usher in an avalanche of fiasco, just like the "Trojans" and "Saharan Cavalry".

Could Lance make the same mistake?

What's more, it's not the only difficulty they face. "If you hit the summer file, what about the schedule of other companies? Don't we need to inquire? Now the summer schedule should already have an eyebrow. Dorothy's thoughts raced, and sparks began to burst out.

"Huh." Lance chuckled and said confidently, "No, don't worry about them. We'll just focus on ourselves, and when we set the schedule, they'll definitely make a move, but I'm just waiting for them to make a move. ”

What the? Wait, what does that mean? (To be continued.) )
