Hayden was joking.

This is Lance's first reaction, Hayden always likes to joke, even Theo's jokes, he is definitely a typical representative of not being afraid of heaven and earth. Lance narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing the change in Hayden's expression, trying to discern the true intention behind this innocent smile.

Hayden was a little hairy by Lance's gaze, and laughed dryly twice, with an innocent expression on his face, "I mean it, we have discussed it countless times before, if you have the opportunity, you also want to become a director, shoot movies according to your ideas, and then I will be your photographer, become your eyes, and record and interpret the story in your mind." Don't you remember? ”

Lance was not moved at all. What Hayden said was true, they did discuss it, and those things were indeed what he said; But Lance knew that Hayden's brainless proposal for such a condition was definitely not for this reason.

Lance stood silent, motionless, his eyes hidden behind his thick eyelashes, like a bottomless dark blue, deep and mysterious, and at the same time full of danger. Hayden was powerless to resist at all, and in just a dozen seconds, he raised his hands to show surrender, "Very good, you win, it's the same move every time, and there is no new trick." ”

Lance remained silent but smiling.

Hayden rolled his eyes and strongly expressed his dissatisfaction, even if Lance never changed his tricks, it was him who came every time he lost, "I was going to resign anyway......" The sentence was spoken, he saw a satisfied smile on Lance's face, Hayden grinded his teeth speechlessly, "There is no sense of accomplishment at all in shooting TV series, not to mention that those photographers follow the rules one by one, there is nothing new; The crew's requirements for cinematographers do not have any technical content, and I think college students are enough to be competent. Even if it's not you, I'll be handing over my resignation letter in a few days. ”

Lance didn't intend to refute, just stood there and nodded slightly, as if to say, "It's good if you're happy", which made Hayden hate itchy, but Lance had no choice but to threaten fiercely, "It's better to be an excellent work!" Lance nodded his chin generously and coped perfunctorily, and Hayden suddenly calmed down like a popped balloon.

"Hayden, let me introduce you, this is Albert, who will be the crew of our crew;" Lance turned around, led Hayden around the corner, and gave a brief introduction to the two of them, "Albert, this is Hayden, and we'll leave the camera and lighting tasks to him." ”

Both of them looked a little reserved, and after a simple greeting, the atmosphere froze for a while, and both of them cast a plea gaze towards Lance at the same time. But Lance had no intention of breaking the siege at all, and stood by with an unknown expression, watching "embarrassed".

Hayden could clearly catch the gloating look in Lance's calm lake-like eyes, and secretly gritted his teeth, "Lance, I was serious just now, don't you think it's a great idea to have you in charge of the guide tube of this work?" With that, Hayden gave Albert a look, secretly praying that Albert would understand his code. You see, you wrote the script yourself, you decided to take on the responsibility of the producer, and you put together our entire crew, and your understanding of the story, the film, is beyond the reach of others. ”

Albert and Hayden didn't know each other - it was the first time they had met, but he could read Hayden's eyes, and more importantly, Hayden's words resonated with him, "yes, Lance, why don't you have that idea?" I remember when I was in school, you always had a lot of ideas about the position of director, and you could say your own unique perspective and ideas for almost every work, which injected different vitality into the film. I always thought that you founded Diora Pictures to realize your dream of directing. ”

When Hayden opened his mouth, Lance knew that he was deliberately diverting the topic and focus, so he didn't take it seriously. Albert's words, however, silenced him.

Of course, he did not forget that the drafts of the scripts for "Good Night, Good Luck" and "City of God" included his own hand-drawn shots, although very rough, but it can be seen that in the process of writing the script, he always looked at these stories from the perspective of the director. The director's dream, this is indeed his original intention to establish Diora Pictures.

In fact, this is the dream of the two souls of Li Jin and Lancelot, to be precise, the actor is Li Jin's dream, the director is Strello's dream, and the film is the dream shared by the two people.

Lance wanted to be a director, a director who could tell a story, a director who could convey ideas through the guò images, a director who could share the joys and sorrows with the audience through the guò lens. The ups and downs of life are all condensed in that screen, how amazing it is; Drama, comedy, horror, sci-fi, animation, romance, action, ...... countless movies that can entertain the public and win tens of millions of box office; It can also wake up the public and release a far-reaching aftertaste, and the director standing behind the camera lens controls the entire condensed world, which is a magical thing.

Li Jin wants to be an actor, an actor who can show his life, an actor who can go deep into his soul through guò performances, and an actor who can experience different lives and show different emotions through guò performances. Shuttling through the lives of different characters, experiencing completely different emotions, feeling different feelings, showing the shock of soul resonance, and tasting all kinds of states in the world, this is an experience that can not be imagined in his life.

In his last life, he fulfilled these two dreams in New York, and he worked as the director of many plays on Broadway, and it achieved good repercussions; and also became an off-Broadway actor, and even worked as an acting teacher in his spare time; Later, he tried his hand at making two documentaries about life in New York.

It's just that the betrayal of their best friends killed the meaning of dreams with their own hands, they taught Lance the cruelty and bloodiness of reality, they also taught Lance the ruthlessness and coldness of life, and they also taught Lance the nothingness and paleness of his dreams.

Although Hayden was changing the subject, it was definitely not untargeted, and now he also put away his playful thoughts, and said seriously, "Didn't you also direct a play when you were studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art?" Is it Shakespeare? ”

"No, it's 'Death of a Salesman.'" That distant memory was so vivid in my mind that the answer blurted out almost without thinking.

Hayden nodded, "Yes, you not only served as the director, but also as the leading actor." The three professors who watched the performance at that time all gave a standing ovation! This is no small matter. Hayden's emotions became more and more excited, as if he had seen Lance standing behind the monitor, "It seems to me that otherwise, you would have written, directed, and acted in this work, like Charles-Chaplin or Laurence-Olivier." ”

"So I'm British?" Lance's response made Hayden choke directly, the words were not finished, and the next sentence was more impactful, "But I think the actors still forget it, all the characters in this work are black." ”

Now even Albert choked, "Lance, are you crazy?" "Even though Lance told him that the film would be filmed in Rio de Janeiro, the entire cast was all black, which was a very different story. Such a work has little room to survive in the United States, and it can be said that it is a suicidal act.

Lance shrugged his shoulders and looked at Albert calmly, "You're on board." ”

Hayden didn't know the specifics of the "City of God" yet, so he was shocked that Cheng Dù was not as strict as Albert, "Come back, come back," he snapped his fingers, "The focus of our discussion now is, you can be the director of this film?" Isn't it? ”

Lance's eyes widened, and he let out a long breath, not denying it, but he didn't nod directly, "The shooting of this work is very difficult, and the director needs to have his own unique ideas about the overall control, rhythm control, control of characters and stories, the scale of core mining, and the understanding of the film." ”

"Yes, you know that. So? Hayden's words managed to dumb Lance, "I'm serious, you want me to be the videographer for this work, you want me to be able to inject a bright color into the film, then the director is absolutely crucial, and who knows better than you now what the film needs?" ”

Indeed, Lance knows all these elements, and the accumulation of experience in the last thirteen years has also given him his own understanding of the positions of director, screenwriter, actor, producer, etc., not to mention that he still remembers the "City of God" on the historical trajectory.

Lance completed the adaptation of the script according to his own understanding, and throughout the script adaptation process, he was already thinking about the switching and combination of all the shots in his mind, as well as the selection of actors and the distribution of editing. Perhaps, he can give more content and meaning to this work according to his own understanding, not only as a producer, but also as a director, polishing it into a blade of revenge with his own hands!

Hayden looked at Lance, who was a little stunned, shook his head, and patted Lance on the shoulder, "Are you hesitating?" Or are you scared? The smile on Hayden's lips was tinged with a hint of banter, "This is definitely big news!" ”

Lance chuckled, but a shallow smile penetrated into his eyes, "What are you still hesitating about?" What you're looking at now is the writer and producer of City of God...... director, this is your boss. "This is the first step towards revenge. As for dreams, that thing has been left behind at Karel Reitz's funeral, along with faith. This road full of thorns, he has no chance of turning back, and he has no intention of turning back.

Albert laughed and applauded, and Hayden jumped up and down on the spot, unabashedly expressing his inner joy and excitement, "This is what we're discussing!" That's what we're discussing! ”

Lance felt his blood begin to rush rapidly, so that his fingertips trembled slightly, not nervous, but excited, the adrenaline burst brightened the whole world, and the sense of anticipation was like a fireworks on the Fourth of July, releasing energy in every corner of his body. Lance knows he's taken a crucial step!

Missed Fernando Meryls and went around the director, but in the end it was Lance himself who took over the guide. The wheel of history has been quietly changing, and no one knows where the giant wheel will go. However, Lance has the reins in his hand, and his fate will be in his own hands!
