The creation of a distribution department is indeed imperative, but is the time really the best?

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" project and the Superman reboot project have shackled most of Chaos Pictures' troops, and these two projects are also the focus of the company's current all-out efforts, and there is no room for error; The blacklist project has already begun to be launched, which also means that the blueprint of the screenwriting department has been planned, even if it will not be realized in the short term, it will inevitably tie down some of the company's resources; At the same time, don't forget that "Killing with a Knife" is competing for the Oscars, and the publicists can't pull out at all; Not to mention Sin City, which is in post-production......

Even putting all of this aside, is Sin City really the best place to start for the distribution department? Can the quality of Sin City really stand the test? Is it true that Sin City's R-rated stats don't have a negative effect? Can the box office of "Sin City" really work miracles?

In the last life, the North American box office of "Sin City" was only 74 million US dollars, which achieved the name of a cult masterpiece and was sought after by countless fans, but objectively speaking, the box office performance is far from being "detonating the market", at most it is only at the same level as "killing Bill"; Although the box office performance of "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Killing with a Knife" has far exceeded expectations, each work is a new beginning, and the current Lance does not have such a thing as "directorial appeal".

So, is this really the right choice?

The thumb of Lance's left hand contracted, gently rubbing the tip of his index finger, feeling the particles on his skin, although Ian did not analyze the difficulties, but having experienced the development of Diorama Pictures, Lance knew the risks better than anyone. More importantly, Lance began to reflect on whether he was too eager for quick success, with the current scale of Chaos Pictures, the steps are too big, but it is easy to fall, even if he does not use Diorama Pictures as his opponent, it is impossible to say whether this will have a greater positive or negative impact on the future development of Chaos Pictures.

He, is he too carried away? Isn't it too self-righteous? Everything about it all is fraught with uncertainty.

Thoughts were racing in his mind, and Lance's left hand suddenly stopped, and he looked up at Ian. Lance knew his shortcomings - his lack of execution and decisiveness, in fact, the situation had changed a lot since the third life; However, some things are dictated by character, even if the years go by, even if the vicissitudes of life, there is still no way to get rid of those characters rooted in the depths of the soul. So, he needs a little help.

Ian met Lance's gaze, calm and composed, a very different kind of calmness from Lance. Lance's indifference comes from the polishing of time and the precipitation of the years, and Ian's calmness comes from superior wisdom, as long as it is mental activity, it will become extremely simple, and it can't even make Ian feel challenged, since he was a child, even if things are out of control, he is not impatient, not only is there no negative emotions such as nervousness or timidity, but he is more and more excited, and the desire to challenge the difficulty makes him yearn for such a thrill.

Geniuses are probably like that.

Lance tried to find a hint of hesitation, a hint of confusion, a hint of apprehension, or a hint of opposition in the depths of Ian's eyes, but all he saw was silence, even a hint of encouragement. This convinced Lance that as long as he let go and run wildly ahead, Ian would always be the most solid backing, and Theo and Gawain, even if he failed, even if he fell, it didn't matter.

It's like when you created Chaos Pictures, like when you bought a trailer soundtrack, like when you bet on the European Cup...... It's like growing up.

Ian only saw the smile on the corner of Lance's mouth raise slightly, then retracted, disappeared into the depths of his eyes, and a firm and indifferent voice came, "Of course." Ian bowed his head slightly, not making any comment, just lowered his eyes and began to spin his head, as if he had expected such an answer, and as if he could accept Lance's answer whatever it was.

After the decision was made, there was no expected tension and panic, on the contrary, indescribable excitement and excitement rushed in the blood. What started as a Sin City issue was a difficult threshold to cross, but now it has become a rare opportunity for development. From the acquisition of the trailer soundtrack company, to the conception of the screenwriting department, to the strides of the distribution department, Chaos Pictures is growing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and Lance can feel the weight on his shoulders gradually increasing, but more anticipation for the future, and excitement.

"So, what's going on with Amanda Seyfried?" After the business was over, Lance did not continue to flip through the comics, but rarely gossiped.

Gawain, who was sitting on the sofa, also immediately perked up, and looked at Ian with burning eyes, "God, where did you meet these special things?" I always thought Lance was the most attractive ......" Gawain looked at Lance and shrugged his shoulders apologetically, and Lance returned a middle finger, "but obviously, you can change female companions much faster than Lance can spend in bed/time." ”

"That's a long, long time." Lance's salty voice came, making Gawain's mind go around for a while before he reacted, scratching his head speechlessly.

Ian directly ignored the two people's words, "I met at a drinking party last week, and I just had dinner. Ian said it with ease, and brushed things over in an understatement.

"So...... Are you sure she ran away like that, okay? Isn't there some special date tonight? Lance's tone was very flat, not deliberately weird, but it was precisely the kind of seriousness, but it seemed too weird, which made Ian feel awkward. At this time, Gawain was no longer against Lance, and looked at Ian with bright eyes, even if he didn't speak, that look had betrayed everything.

"If you have time to care about my dinner date, you might as well worry about your Oscar partner." Ian didn't plan to continue on this topic, because he knew that no matter what he said, the two living treasures in front of him would continue to coax, so he wouldn't fall into the net. "Or Keira Knightley?"

Over the past few months, Lance has been working almost inseparably from "Murder with a Knife" to "Sin City", so he hasn't found a new date for a while. Kayla is Ian's most direct guess, and at the same time the reporter's best guess.

Lance shook his head and denied the proposal. Earlier at the nomination luncheon, Kayla sent out a reminder - it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, it can be heard between the words that Kayla is on the side of the crew, and they need to unite for "Pirates of the Caribbean". Although it is said that the actor's private life should not be directly linked to work, and who Kayla dates should not be directly linked to the crew, it ...... If social life is not so simple and straightforward. It's obviously not a good time to invite her now. Even if Lance invited, it is estimated that Kayla would refuse in order to avoid suspicion.

"Eva Green." Lance flashed this figure in his mind, if Eva was invited to attend the Oscars, on the one hand, this was an outstanding beauty, absolutely glamorous on the red carpet; On the one hand, it can also warm up for the release of "Sin City", although the issue of distribution has not yet been brushed up, but it will not affect the start of the publicity plan.

Ian opened his mouth, remembering the conversation of the ladies when he visited the crew earlier...... The words of blocking went around the tip of the tongue, and finally it became, "Excellent choice." "Aiwa, who is only twenty-four years old this year, is young and beautiful, with outstanding temperament, it is indeed an eye-catching choice, and he is not lying.

Lan came to the table and dialed Eva's phone number directly - the Oscars were next week, and there was no need to continue to procrastinate. The phone rang for a while, and Eva's sexual/sensual voice, still a little hoarse, was heard, "Good afternoon, this is Eva." ”

"Hey, Eva, good afternoon, this is Lance." Lance leaned back against the table and said gracefully.

Eva didn't reply directly, but was slightly stunned, "...... Sorry, who? ”

Lance's eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously not expecting such an answer, but he quickly calmed down, "Lancelot-Strello." ”

"Oh, Director!" Eva looked a little surprised, and her voice was slightly flustered, "Sorry, I didn't store your phone, I was rude just now." The curvature of the corners of Lance's mouth was slightly outlined, and his mood relaxed a little, "Director, may I ask if you are calling at this time?" Is it because there are still scenes that need to be refilmed? ”

Lance was momentarily speechless, "No, it's not. There was a feeling of crying and laughing, "Lance, you can call me Lance, I'm not on the set now." On the other end of the phone came Eva's somewhat restrained and embarrassed chuckle, this signal could not be clearer, obviously there was still a lack of time for communication between the two of them, and Lance was not strong, "Otherwise, you can call 'sir', that's what Emma calls him." This self-deprecation made Eva burst out laughing, and the atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

"Sir, this is indeed an interesting choice." Eva's English, with a hint of French accents, was full and soft, as if dyed with a layer of cream.

"I'm calling to ask if you're available next Sunday? I want to invite you to that big party. Lance didn't take a detour either, and was very blunt in his invitation.

"Next Sunday?" Eva didn't seem to react, and her voice paused slightly, presumably to confirm the date of Sunday, "Oh, the twenty-seventh!" Eva immediately understood, the Oscars, everyone's attention, so Lance was inviting himself to attend the awards ceremony? As a female companion? God, this was the craziest date invitation she'd ever heard!

The point is, Eva feels like she's been frightened! (To be continued.) )
