Angelina's cardamom-stained nails tapped Lance lightly on Lance's chest with a deadly seduction in the dim light, then slipped a small note into the upper right pocket, her eyes slightly raised, and the almost murmuring words spat out softly from between her flaming red lips, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Strello." The right hand pressed the pocket again, as if feeling Lance's strong chest muscles through the fabric. It was over, and the vague/ambiguous eyes slowly slid down Lance's nose, and finally landed on Lance's lip flap, her plump and ruddy lip flap opened slightly, and the white teeth inside could be faintly seen, as well as the tip of the tongue looming between the teeth.

The teasing/teasing like a dragonfly dotting water slowly spread in the air like the fragrance of roses, even if Angelina turned away, the lingering fragrance still lingered slowly in her fingertips, making people blush and heartbeat.

Brad Gray couldn't help but whistle softly as he watched Angelina drift away, teasing, "Wow, this was a good night, wasn't it?" ”

Lance narrowed his gaze slightly, watching Angelina leave, but the focus was on Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston on the other side of the pool.

Lance thought this was a very interesting thing, he originally thought that Angelina and Brad hooked up during the filming of the movie "Operation Smith", but now it seems that things have been showing signs a long time ago - at least Angelina's actions are not so simple now, and when Angelina was flirting/flirting just now, her eyes were always paying attention to Brad's every move.

However, Brad Pitt on the other end of the pool was too far away, so Lance couldn't tell if he had noticed Angelina's move.

Lance withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Brad Gray beside him. "It's been a good night, if someone knows each other a little bit just now." ”

This ridicule made Brad stunned. Then he couldn't help but chuckle, "It's a pity. Now Miss Julie should be cursing me behind my back. Brad raised his champagne glass, "I sincerely apologize. However, I believe that things can always be salvaged if you want to. Brad's gaze fell in the direction of Lance's chest pocket, but he smiled.

"Some are worth it, some are not." Lance said meaningfully, but the chic and casual tone gave Brad a different understanding - "In the midst of thousands of flowers." "The leaves do not stick to the body" of the flower/playboy/boy is always so confident.

Brad chuckled, "Then I think I'd better be ready to leave at any time, or the ladies won't be able to let go." This teaser made Lance laugh too, "Before I leave, I have to finish the important things first, otherwise who knows, maybe in thirty minutes, I will miss the opportunity." ”

Lance was slightly stunned, and a possibility came to his mind, which made Lance feel a little stunned. His intuition dismissed this possibility, but instead of revealing his true thoughts in a hurry, he threw a puzzled look at Brad. Waiting for the following.

Sure enough, Brad didn't sell off, and then said, "The company is working on a special project right now, and we all think you're the right fit." Lance actually guessed right at once, the magic of Oscar night continued, but Lance still didn't say anything and listened quietly, "This is a very interesting story." It tells the story of a taxi driver who picked up an ordinary passenger on an ordinary night shift. I thought it was just another ordinary trip, but I didn't expect it. The passenger was a professional killer. And so, things started to get interesting. ”

Lance frowned, this is a good idea, but it can develop many different versions, and there are countless possibilities for the story, "So, is this 'Fast & Thrill' or 'Taxi Driver'?" Or 'this killer isn't too cold' or 'the seven deadly sins'? ”

"Uh...... It's up to the director to decide, isn't it? Brad was a little caught off guard, and his knowledge of cinema was naturally not as good as that of Lance, "But, as far as I know, the current script is more like 'The Line of Fire' or 'Training Day'." How's that, are you interested? ”

Brad's fragmented words reminded Lance of a work, but there was still too little information at the moment, and he needed to confirm further, "Does this work have a name?" ”

"'Kill with a knife', this name is temporarily called, and the specific situation will be determined after the director confirms." Brad hesitated, but said briskly.

And so it was! Lance couldn't help but snap his fingers in his heart, the last life this work was directed by Michael Mann (Michael Mann), which can be ranked in the top three of his career best, comparable to "The Line of Fire" and "Inside Story", and also won two Oscar nominations, and received many praises from film critics.

"'Murder with a knife'?" Lance's inner thoughts didn't leak in the slightest, "What happened to Martin Scorsese?" "Preparations for this work began in the second half of last year, and Lance once saw the news in "Variety" magazine, and Martin has confirmed the director.

"It didn't work out." Brad said ominously, "Actually, we talked to Spike Lee and Steven Spielberg successively, and they were very interested in the script, but in the process of revising the script, their filming schedule had some conflicts, and in the end, they couldn't reach it. ”

The subtext of Brad's words is: We put you and these illustrious names on a level.

However, Lance was obviously not carried away, and still listened attentively. Brad didn't care, and then half-jokingly said, "At the beginning, we mentioned your name in the hope that you would be able to play one of the roles. ”

This sentence successfully attracted Lance's attention, and he chuckled, "Are you kidding? ”

Intrigued by Lance's reaction, Brad asked, "Why are you so surprised?" I thought you'd happily nod yes. Seeing that Lance was still unshaken, Brad couldn't help frowning slightly, "If the information I investigated is correct, you have studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art for more than two years, right?" ”

Lance raised an eyebrow, "I thought it was a secret. ”

"In fact, when I saw your resume, my first reaction was, you should be an actor, not a producer or a director." Brad looked at Lance with interest, I have to say that Lance is the kind of natural actor who can attract people's attention just by standing on the stage, not to mention that he is still an academic school from traditional British drama, and it is really a huge pity not to become an actor.

Lance shrugged, "I'm more interested in standing behind the camera and fiddling with it than standing in front of the camera. ”

In fact, Lance was not able to graduate from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and he dropped out on the eve of graduation. One of the reasons he sued Sù Brad is that Lance does prefer the director's position to the actor's, and even the screenwriter is a more interesting choice.

But in addition to this, there is also the fact that even within the British academy, they are still very prejudiced about appearance, and the advantage in the eyes of others has become a stumbling block for Lance, people always think that he is "too handsome" to be up to the role, or focus on his appearance and then ignore his acting efforts.

It's a very annoying thing.

Although Lance also admits that he dropped out of school on the eve of graduation because he was young and vigorous, if he had to do it all over again, he would choose to finish his studies; But the fact is that even after Li Jin wears/crosses over, his days in New York still can't get rid of the shackles of "vase", he has been an acting teacher for a long time, but students will always question his ability, so that he is tired of explaining later.

So, in fact, Lance can feel the joy of being overwhelmed by ecstasy after Charlize Theron won the award tonight.

"So, you're not going to be an actor at all?" Brad jumped straight to the conclusion.

Lance didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "So, you officially invited me to star in 'Murder with a Knife', instead of directing?" ”

"Yes, 'kill with a knife.'" Brad then reacted, "Well, are you interested?" Took the guide barrel? The budget for the film is estimated to be around 60 million, and there is still room for negotiation; You can be a co-producer with Paramount and Chaos Pictures, but the cast needs to be chosen by us. ”

Lance was a little surprised, Paramount was actually willing to take the initiative to delegate power, he hadn't even nodded his head, he had already given up a lot of benefits, but when he heard the last sentence, Lance understood, "So, are you planning to make a commercial film?" Something like a 'sniper phone booth'? ”

“…… Right! Right! Brad was stunned, carefully recalled the "sniper phone booth", and then nodded repeatedly, "We just hope to create the tension of the plot, and then give the movie more characteristics through the performance charm of the actors, and then achieve a huge success at the box office." ”

Not an unexpected result.

As people say, Sundance is a springboard for commercial films, after Sundance became famous all over the world, it took over the guide of commercial films, and injected the personal charm of independent directors into commercial films. To put it simply, the director is a part-time worker, and he can even be said to be half a puppet.

After years of development, this model has been brought to the extreme in the superhero movies adapted from Marvel Comics, with an iron-clad cast, an iron-clad script mode, and a rookie director who runs water.

Now, it was Lance's turn, and the three statuettes of the "City of God" knocked on the door for him. (To be continued.) )
