"The Los Angeles Times asked, Lance, excuse me, why is it a comic book adaptation? I mean, why did Chaos Pictures' next two movies lock in the comic book adaptation? Is there any particular reason for this? Or are you hitting some bottlenecks with your original script? ”

Cliff Robinson's question hit the nail on the head, and he deserves to be the chief entertainment reporter for the Los Angeles Times. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info said that the media on the east coast and the media on the west coast have maintained a high degree of agreement on the issue of the "road of rage", but in fact, differences between the two sides of the strait on Lance still exist. In fact, this is the same as Martin Scorsese and Woody Allen, when their status reaches a certain height, many views on both sides of the strait seem to have gradually unified, but the deep-rooted differences still exist, but the form and method of expression are different.

For example, Cliff's question today is still sharp, but the words are a lot more tactful. Putting aside the "furious road", Reims's current position in the industry is indeed different.

"Bottleneck?" Lance's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and although he went around in a circle, the question came back to him again, but it was clear that Cliff's question was much more stylish, "Should I be happy or depressed?" It's been less than a year since I won the Best Original Screenplay, right? Some people are already worried about my creative bottlenecks, and I would take that as a compliment. Lance's playful words made the reporters chuckle, and it can also be seen from this side that people now have expectations and trust in Lance.

"Isn't it obvious why you chose a comic book adaptation? I've always believed that the fantasy world depicted in comics and the world of cinema have a lot in common. Lance's expression was complacent, as if he had long understood such a question, "Just as you would like to believe that a lightsaber and awaken the Force are the mysteries of the space world, many people are willing to believe that you can save the world by wearing them over your underwear and taking off your glasses." ”

"Poof", Robert was drinking water, and after hearing Lance's description, he almost squirted the water directly, but even so, choking in his throat, he still began to cough, he waved his hand again and again, signaling that he was okay, avoiding everyone's attention.

Hearing Lance's answer, Cliff was also a little urgent, ignoring the rule that each reporter can only ask one question, and directly raised his voice and said, "So, are you comparing the comic book adaptation to 'Star Wars'?" ”

"I don't see anything wrong." Lance's calmness made the reporters in the audience gasp.

"Star Wars" is a classic because it breaks the barriers of imagination, presents the wonders of space realistically, and builds a world that makes people think about it. The cultural influence of "Star Wars" in North America can be said to be unparalleled. But now, Lance has lightly put "Star Wars" and comic book adaptations on the same level, and "shocking" is not enough to describe the turmoil in the hearts of reporters at this moment.

For a while, everyone was stunned, their brains couldn't turn around, and they weren't sure whether Lance was ambitious or stupid, and even the "Harry Potter" series didn't dare to say that its influence in North America caught up with "Star Wars", and Lance was so ashamed? Looking at the influence of the first two parts of "Spider-Man", and then looking at the influence of the "X-Men" series trilogy, even if the depth and breadth of the cultural influence of these five works are all accumulated, they are not as good as a "Star Wars".

"Lance, I'...... Ahem, I'm from the Houston Chronicle. Can I understand that you created a wasteland apocalyptic world in "Fury Road" and made people feel the fantasy of that world, and now you want to create a parallel time and space constructed in the comics through works like "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk", showing the impact of those superpowered heroes on the ordinary world? ”

Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a chuckle, "Looks like you should be a comic book lover." The remark succeeded in causing the reporter's cheeks to flush, "You can understand it as a parallel time and space, but I understand the real world." Speaking of this, Lance leaned forward slightly, with a serious expression on his face that participated in the academic discussion, "Don't you believe in the existence of superpowers?" I mean, it's like 'The X-Files'. ”

It's an interesting topic, from comics to the paranormal, two seemingly unrelated realms are starting to meet.

In fact, in the comics, most of the superpowers are not supernatural phenomena, for example, Superman is an alien, for example, Spider-Man was bitten by a radioactive spider, or for example, Batman has no superpowers at all, but Lance is connected by these two abnormal phenomena that are "different from common sense".

It's as if many people believe in the paranormal because they believe that these phenomena are proof of the existence of aliens; Similarly, many people believe in the superheroes of comics because they believe that phenomena and abilities that are not understood by people are real. Moreover, the proponents of the paranormal firmly believe that the government covers them up and refuses to be known to the public; Similarly, those superhero admirers believe that the government is also covering up the existence of superpowers, like the "X-Men", or even quietly artificially creating superpowers, like "Captain America".

Both fields are marginal disciplines that are not recognized, but they have also generated enduring discussions. Lance's words seem to open a whole new door, maybe their supporters will refute each other, maybe a small number of supporters will test each other, but it is certain that the next discussion and debate will take on a new picture - the TV series "The X-Files" before it was discontinued in 2002, a total of ten seasons, and two films, the strong influence is undoubted, and the comic book supporters have also benefited from the rise of "Spider-Man", "Batman", "X-Men" and gradually increase in power……

In other words, Lance is trying to make things bigger.

Lance is indeed thinking about this, after the production news of "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk" comes out, not only Warner Bros., but other old foxes can also sniff out the abnormality, it's just a matter of time. So now that it's been exposed, why not take advantage of this wave and focus all eyes on it? Not only the audience, but also those in the industry, methodically paving the way for the Marvel Universe.

The scene suddenly became commotion, although they couldn't understand Lance's blueprint for the entire Marvel Universe and even the supernatural universe, but they could really feel that the choice of "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk" was not a random coincidence, but a careful arrangement. Shocked, excited, excited, curious, agitated...... Countless emotions began to surge in the banquet hall.

Because the bomb thrown by Lance is so amazing, even the reporters need a little time to digest it, and only by calming down can they get a glimpse of the whole picture, so that some of the next questions seem to be interesting, and it is conceivable that after today's press conference, the entertainment pages of the major media are bound to be lively again.

In the blink of an eye, the press conference was coming to an end, and Jimmy announced that it was the last question. The right to say this question fell to "Entertainment Weekly", Chris Rosen thought about it, there are really too many questions to ask in his mind, even an interview is not enough, let alone just one question, "Excuse me, will you attend the Golden Globes this year?" ”

As soon as the problem came out, the scene was silent for a moment, and the Hilton Hotel where they were located was the venue for the Golden Globe Awards every year, and this question would not seem out of place. The point is, people are curious about the answer to this question - I have to admit that there are so many talking gimmicks around Lance that they can't be counted.

Lance chuckled, "That's something I didn't expect. He really didn't expect that October hadn't even arrived, and the wave of awards season hadn't even begun, at least until after the Toronto Film Festival ended, when the New York Film Festival or the Independent Spirit Awards kicked off, and it was too early, "Awards season is still a long time away, isn't it?" I don't think I'm going to be a guest of honor this year. ”

"Fury Road" is a commercial movie, want to replicate the miracle of "Titanic", "Lord of the Rings 3", it is almost impossible, 2008 "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", 2010's "Inception" is monstrous, countless public opinion believes that they are worthy of an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, but the stingy academy still closed the door indifferently, the reason is that after "The Lord of the Rings 3" swept thousands of troops, the academy was worried that the commercial atmosphere was too strong, which affected the authority of the Oscars, So the door was completely closed to commercial films. The last "Mad Max 4: Fury Road" won the nomination, but that was already 2015 - a full twelve years after "Lord of the Rings 3" reached the top! But it's only 2006.

What's more, in last year's Oscar college public relations, Lance used moral kidnapping to play those old pedants ruthlessly, and the "crash" laughed to the end, which made the college a laughing stock. It's still unknown what their attitude will be to Lance this year, and the main contestant in the Chaos Pictures awards season will be "The Queen" instead of "Fury Road".

"But what if you win the nomination?" Chris still didn't want to give up easily, and asked.

Lance looked at Jimmy, as if to say, "The last question is the last one", but unexpectedly, Jimmy also looked at Lance with a blank eye and cast a curious look, which made Lance laugh dumbly, he gently retracted his chin and retracted the smile on the corner of his mouth, "Then I'll look forward to the nomination list." ”
