"The work here is over soon, and you don't have to wait too long for lunch." Lance's eyes were deeply fixed on Jessica, focused and expressional, the shallow smile on the corner of his mouth made the sound of his heartbeat audible clearly, and the slightly lowered voice sounded softly in Jessica's ears with an almost murmuring ambiguity.

Jessica heard Lance's words, and every word couldn't be clearer, but when all the words were combined, she was completely dazed, and she didn't know what Lance was talking about. But under Lance's gaze, Jessica nodded involuntarily, as if even if Lance said that today was the end of the world, she would not hesitate to believe it.

Lance naturally sat down next to Jessica and smiled at the two reporters sitting on the right, "So, what were you talking about?" Hope I didn't interrupt your work. ”

The two reporters exchanged glances with each other, then looked at Lance, and before they even had time to introduce themselves, they couldn't wait to ask, "We were just asking Jessica how she felt about being invited to Sundance, but ...... I'm more curious now, are you guys dating? The sparkling eyes were full of anticipation, and they already revealed what they really thought at this time.

Lance chuckled, as if amused by the question, and turned to look at Jessica, asking with a hint of teasing, "What do you say?" Are we dating now? A simple sentence made Jessica's heartbeat chaotic again.

Jessica had a voice crying out from the depths of her heart, "No! No! But the voice was so faint that it was almost drowned out by the surging excitement and excitement. Her cheeks were completely burning, but she still couldn't take her eyes off it, and she could only watch the expression on Lance's face move intently.

Then Jessica saw Lance turn her head, the smile on her lips fully bloomed, adding a touch of chic and casualness, and then shook her chin gracefully, "I don't think this can be considered a date, we are just friends at the moment." Jessica did me a big favor and avoided the loneliness of being alone on the red carpet and nothing more. "A gentleman is polite, graceful, and has a sense of proportion...... All of them are perfect.

Jessica's hot brain cooled slowly, she knew that what Lance said was the truth, and she should be happy, because Lance was a devil, a dangerous demon full of temptations, and she couldn't let herself sink into the mud. However, at this time, the emotions in her heart were so turbulent and complicated that she could not distinguish them in detail, and the thick loss grabbed her feet tightly, and then pulled down hard, like a high dive.

Lance's answer was to deny the reporter's question, but the intimacy and lightness in the tone seemed meaningful, and the changes in Lance and Jessica's expressions were full of infinite possibilities.

The two reporters were not disappointed, but became more and more excited, and the reporter sitting in front of him immediately asked in an ambiguous/ambiguous tone, "So, is there a possibility of dating next?" The reporter in the back couldn't wait to add, "Will you take the initiative to extend an invitation to Jessica?" ”

Lance was amused by the question and raised an eyebrow, "Jessica is a very attractive lady, isn't she?" The answer is not what is asked, but all possibilities are preserved.

The other reporters around also quickly found out about the situation, and Lance had been talking to big names like Robert Redford just now, and the reporters didn't want to bother, so everyone surrounded the other members of the "City of God" crew. Now, Lance and Jessica are sitting there for an interview, and the reporters are immediately flocking to the area, like sharks smelling blood.

Philip let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a happy look on the faces of survivors, "Jesus Christ, they're finally gone." Then he looked at the other companions around him, only to find that everyone was looking in the direction of Lance, and he couldn't help but look over, "Wow, how did Mr. Strello do that!" ”

Even in the face of more than 20 reporters, he still talks and laughs and copes with ease?

Alexander stood aside and whispered, "Because he's Mr. Strello." ”

"Lance, are you dating Jessica?" "Lance, is it possible that Jessica will be the heroine of your next work?" "Jessica, how long have you been dating Lance and how did you meet?" "Jessica, do you love each other now? Did you come to Park City specifically for Lance this time? "Lance, are you planning to make your relationship official?"

The first thing sharks smell is always blood. Compared with the "City of God", the scandal between Lance and Jessica, a handsome guy and a beautiful woman, is obviously more attractive.

Lance raised his hands to isolate a certain space between the reporters and Jessica who surrounded him, and then said sternly, "Watch the light, the light!" I would never allow such a photo to appear in a newspaper. This inconsequential remark stunned everyone, and then everyone burst into laughter, even Jessica burst out laughing.

The reporters surrounded Lance and Jessica tightly, and even the air would not circulate, but at this time, because of Lance's words, everyone began to disperse, forming an encirclement in an oval fan, the reporters in the back stood up, and the reporters in front sat cross-legged on the ground, and the picture was really interesting.

Lance spoke again at this point, "Would you please show some respect for the lady and show your gentlemanly demeanor?" Lance turned his head to look at Jessica beside him, hooked the corners of his mouth apologetically, and then looked at the reporter again, "Shouldn't today's protagonist be me and my movie?" So, let's not blur the focus, let's focus on the movie. ”

Lance did not respond to the reporter's speculation just now, and even skipped the scandal and drew all attention to the "City of God". This forced the reporters to put away the gossip for the time being and start conducting professional interviews, "Lance, I heard that the whole film was filmed in Rio de Janeiro, why is that?" ”

Lance also withdrew his attention and concentrated on answering the question. Jessica carefully buried her deep disappointment and took a deep breath to allow herself to concentrate on the reporter. However, the rest of her eyes always drifted to Lance, and the mixed mood of anticipation and rejection, excitement and resistance made Jessica suffer a little.

No one noticed that Lance's left hand was placed on the knee of Erlang's leg, and the thumb pressed the index finger, releasing the tense pressure little by little, and the right hand that covered the left hand elegantly and perfectly concealed all of this, and no one found out that it was the result of Lance's careful planning.

Inviting Jessica to the premiere was not a random choice, Lance already had a charter in mind the last time they met unexpectedly in the olive garden.

"City of God" is a film with almost no gimmicks, and it is difficult to extract much value from a commercial perspective, which is the fundamental reason why major distribution companies, including the Weinstein brothers, are discouraged. In short, "City of God" is a production that no audience wants to go to the cinema to watch, and even if it is lucky enough to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the film's prospects in the videotape rental market are very limited.

But Lance, who has been in two lives, knows that the box office is unpredictable, but he can take his finger on the pulse.

The reason why the audience walks into the cinema is actually very simple, often just a gimmick, a curiosity, or even just an impression. This is the reason why major film companies spend a lot of money during the promotion period, they need to plant a seed in the minds of the audience, maybe they don't have any interest in the movie, but as long as they have an impression of the movie - it may be a well-designed poster, it may be a high-quality trailer, it may be an eye-catching slogan, then when the audience walks into the cinema, it is likely to choose the movie.

This is a type of consumer suggestive psychology.

The problem is that "City of God" has almost no gimmicks that can be used to promote hype, and there is not even a competent male or female protagonist to create a topic. So, Lance made three preparations, the first is Jessica Alba.

Unlike the three major European film festivals and the Toronto Film Festival, most of the journalists attending the Sundance Film Festival are more professional, and their interest in scandals and scandals is very limited, and they will eventually return to the film itself. However, a little scandal is harmless to the reporter's gossip nature, just like a dessert after a meal. No, it doesn't make people angry; But there, and it tastes good, does make dinner perfect.

The scandal between Lance and Jessica is an excellent dessert after dinner, which can make the audience have a memory point and a discussion point.

However, Lance must grasp the proportions, not let the scandal dominate, the focus of the guide zhì is blurred, and the main course must be "City of God". So, Lance just clicked to the end, teased the reporter a little, and then took it when he saw it.

"Thank you, thank you." In the blink of an eye, forty-five minutes had passed for the reporter's interview, and Lance's chatter and humor made the passage of time insignificant, and if it hadn't been for the staff coming to remind them that they must prepare for the premiere of the next movie, it is estimated that the reporters would still not have thought of leaving.

Seeing the reporters scatter, Lance turned his head to look at Jessica beside him, "Do I have the honor to invite you to lunch with me?" ”

Jessica looked at Lance, who was still maintaining a gentlemanly elegance in front of her, but the danger alarm in her heart had become a mess, she subconsciously grabbed the last shred of reason and blurted out, "No, I think it's better next time." ”

Lance seemed a little surprised by Jessica's refusal, and raised an eyebrow slightly, but he still maintained a good demeanor, smiled and nodded, "Then next time." At the very least, please let me take you to the door of the cinema to complete the task of the Flower Protector this morning. ”

Jessica pulled her lips and smiled, only to find that her smile was so far-fetched. Because, she herself can't tell clearly, her rejection was accepted by Lance, which is a good thing or a bad thing.
