Ryan's brows furrowed slightly, and his expression looked very strange, as if he was smiling but not laughing, as if he was angry but not angry, it was really difficult to figure out.

Tucker couldn't help but be stunned, the smile on his face stiffened, and asked in surprise, "What did you say?" Lance isn't coming today? His voice couldn't help but rise, not hiding his disappointment and anger......

Looking at Tucker in front of him, Jason had an inexplicable sense of disobedience - Lance did not attend the Golden Globe Awards, but Tucker felt angry. It's funny.

Ryan nodded in the affirmative, obviously he didn't expect such a situation, "George just called and said that Lance has indeed been busy with film editing recently, because the movie did not work as expected, and the computer visual effects did not seem to meet Lance's expectations, so he was under a lot of pressure and simply lived in the editing room." I heard that yesterday's movie editing had a problem with Yanzhòng, and the entire trailer was ruined, and Lance had to work overtime to make the trailer, otherwise the next publicity would have to open the skylight. ”

Ryan seemed to be telling Tucker, but he was actually talking to himself, and after he finished speaking, he stopped and looked at Tucker and Jason, "George went directly to visit Lance in the editing room the day before yesterday and found that he hadn't shaved for at least half a month, he was sloppy, and the dark circles under his eyes were very bad, and he couldn't hide his haggard at all." Then Ryan muttered in a low voice, "No wonder George asked him to dinner before, but he refused." ”

He and George had suspected that Lance had a conspiracy, or that Lance had seen through George's identity, but now it seemed that they were completely overthinking. The quality of the "day after tomorrow" finish seems to have drained Lance's mind, and the film was not well received in the build-up - disaster movies have become almost synonymous with hitting the streets, and the disproportionate cost and income have allowed the genre to decline rapidly - and now, the quality of the finished product seems to be far below expectations, which is really good news.

"I've said a long time ago that high investment means high risk, and once you lose, you will fail miserably." Ryan muttered to himself. Lost in thought. The expression on his face was still very strange, as if he was very excited, but he was also suppressed, and he wanted to laugh out loud. But I'm worried about something.

"So, are Lance sure he won't show up today?" Tucker has also come to his senses now, he originally wanted to humiliate Lance back then, but now that Lance has retreated without a fight, not to mention the humiliating blow. The excitement on Tucker's face rose again. "I just said that he is a coward, and he doesn't even have the psychological element to bear failure, he really laughs off his big teeth, haha! However, even if he is smart, if he does show up, I can humiliate him in person, which is more refreshing than giving him a direct slap in the face, and his absence has avoided his own embarrassment and embarrassment. This little cleverness. He always played well. ”

Ryan looked down and patted the hem of his clothes, which didn't have any dust at all, "I thought he would show up anyway...... But now it seems that the quality of 'the day after tomorrow' is even worse than expected. ”

According to Ryan and George, it would be unwise to miss a promotional occasion like the Golden Globes, even if it is a big deal.

Whether the "City of God" can win the prize is the second question; What really matters is that there are countless important people to meet at the Golden Globe Awards - and they are all the top people in power in Hollywood, and this event contains countless opportunities and countless connections, for independent people, independent companies. It is an occasion that must not be missed; What's more, Lance, who is on the rise in his career, must show up more and increase his recognition. The Golden Globes are a natural stage, a great opportunity.

Lance made a special trip to attend the Sundance Film Festival and created a scandal to attract the attention of the media, just to increase the heat of public opinion. Well, it's totally fair to say. Attending a Ballon d'Or is more effective than not missing Sundance for ten years in a row. Lance is a smart guy and he shouldn't be absent from the Ballon d'Or by any measure.

But right now, Lance is out. George even went to the editing room to confirm the situation of Reims, which shows that the situation of the "day after tomorrow" is indeed urgent.

Thinking of this, the tight string in Ryan's heart loosened invisibly - "Troy's" winning chance increased by another tenth.

"Although I can't see his disappointed face to face, even if he is absent, he can see our heroism through the guò newspaper." Tucker was in good spirits again, "When our work wins the award, he will know that he has angered the wrong people!" ”

"Obviously, we provoked him first......" Jason's words finally swallowed, looking at Tucker's bright smile, his eyes had begun to blur, obviously making up for the picture of Lance hanging down and being devastated. Jason turned his head to look out the window with some distraction, the development of Diorama Pictures is getting better and better, which is a good thing, he is also a member of it, he should be proud, but ...... What is this uneasiness in the depths of my heart?

Did Lance really retreat without a fight? Apparently not.

There were indeed some problems with the trailer editing of "The Day After Tomorrow", and the version that was originally edited did not achieve the effect that Lance expected. He originally thought that editing the trailer was not a difficult task, but after he actually went into battle, he found that it was far more difficult than he imagined. Coupled with the fact that there are still a small number of computer effects in the digital realm that are not completed, this makes the editing of the trailer really unsatisfactory.

In an emergency, Lance had to summon Jonathan Rosbart and Matthew Butler from the digital realm, and then Guò Twentieth Century Fox hired a professional trailer editor - with the gradual maturity of the film industry, there are now professional trailer production companies, many of which are subdivisions of independent production companies, and at the same time, professional trailer soundtrack production companies have been born, and the work is becoming more and more detailed and specialized.

For the sake of the trailer editor, Lance had to pay the editor out of his own pocket and then make the trailer from scratch. This time, Lance intends to overturn the rework, re-edit the footage, re-add the necessary VFX, and re-do the soundtrack.

The day George visited the editing room was the second meeting of the trailer editing team to reunite. Lance's bad state was unintentional, but when he found out that George couldn't wait to come to the door and visit directly, the words were full of spying, and Lance planned to do it and staged a bitter trick.

In fact, although there is a problem with the trailer, the post-production of "The Day After Tomorrow" has not been affected, it is unfolding in an orderly manner, and the cooperation between Lance and Aaron Menke is becoming more and more tacit, as for the quality of the finished product, it is naturally impossible to know until it is edited. However, the trailer's place in Lance's heart is irreplaceable.

At the moment in 2003, although commercial blockbusters have gradually begun to pay attention to the weight of trailers, especially "Independence Day" in 1996, which made history by placing trailers in the halftime show advertising time of the Super Bowl, people really realized the importance of trailers; But objectively speaking, people have not accurately connected the excitement of the trailer with the movie.

Not so long ago, a decade later, there was a movie called "The Trailer is the Best Thing", the kind of movie that made the audience walk into the cinema and cry out for regret, because just watching the trailer is equivalent to watching the whole movie. But herein lies the problem, the wonderful trailer still makes the audience walk into the cinema - although the subsequent box office decline will be very dismal. Still, the power of the trailer can be seen.

In the "day after tomorrow" publicity plan, whether the social hot spot effect of the greenhouse effect in the previous six months can be transformed into the audience's attention to the "day after tomorrow" depends on this version of the trailer, because this version of the trailer will be put on the Super Bowl, it is no exaggeration to say that the success or failure of the "day after tomorrow" publicity effect is in this move.

So, Lance didn't hesitate to pay out of his own pocket and spent $100,000 to form this trailer team, just to gamble on it. The foreshadowing in the early stage, and the movie itself in the later stage, rely on this trailer to build a bridge. Of course, after the success of the first version of the trailer, every other month, Lance will release a new version of the trailer, and then cooperate with the relevant pre-publicity activities to hype up the influence of the greenhouse effect again, until the release of "the day after tomorrow". However, the premise is that this version of the trailer must be successful.

The trailer is important, but finding a night to attend the Golden Globes is not a difficult task for Lance. Lance is also well aware of the importance of the awards ceremony, which is an amplified version of the Sundance Film Festival's private pie – a version after a hundredfold increase.

However, taking a step back, with Lance's current capacity to attend the Golden Globes, even if he takes the initiative to talk to those top people, I am afraid the effect will be very limited. If it is a nomination for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, then it is a different matter, but the Golden Globes are a profit-oriented Vanity Fair, and at present, Lance has no bargaining chips other than the Sundance Jury Award, and it will be difficult to make a fist at the Golden Globes.

What's more, whether the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film wins or not is actually not the most important thing for "City of God" and for Lance. Not only because the Golden Globes have always paid little attention to the best foreign language film, but the impact of the Golden Globes on the Oscars for the best foreign language film is almost negligible.

Conversely, if Lance misses the Ballon d'Or, it could confuse the likes of George and Ryan into letting their guard down further, which would be a good deal. Lance can imagine their pride and excitement, but they all forget about it, and the one who laughs last is the sweetest laugh, this is a marathon, whoever lets down his guard first will fall behind first.

Thousands of miles of embankment are destroyed in the anthill, and one after another the anthill is often left inadvertently, and when it is finally launched, it is too late to regret it. So, Lance doesn't mind digging an anthill again at the cost of missing the Golden Globes.

The corresponding costs are...... Putting all your heart and soul into the production of the trailer has resulted in a truly excellent, professional-level trailer. Well, it's a good deal. (To be continued.) )
