Movie Master

He let out a long breath... so long that he almost forgot to take a breath, and after the hot and boiling air in his lungs was completely expelled, his body slowly cooled down.

The left hand was clenched into a fist, and the thumb was tightly clasped on top of the index finger. Due to too much force, the fingertips almost turned blue. He raised his left hand and slowly tried to loosen the fists, but found that the muscles were almost deformed and stiff, and the fingers could not be loosened at all. In the end, he had to use his right hand to break the fists one by one.

He stretched out his palm to look, but found that his fingers were still trembling uncontrollably, showing that the beating of the heart was extremely disordered.

"Heh." He sneered lightly, as if mocking himself for not having seen a big scene, and as if venting the last bit of tension in his heart, then slowly closed his eyes, letting the darkness slowly surround him When he got up, the cold night made him feel safe.

It would be a lie to say that Lance was not afraid at all in his heart just now. Tom Cruise is the top figure in the Hollywood pyramid today, just look at Paramount's attitude. He only needs a few words to bring Lance's fledgling career back to the original point.

This was the case with the diorama film industry in the previous life. They only needed to make a few phone calls and chat and laugh to decide Lance's life or death. And the current Tom is far stronger than the diorama film industry at its peak. Even George Clooney, who was at the peak of his career, is still slightly inferior to Tom. The profound connections and mixed forces are accumulated over the years.

Therefore, his confrontation with Tom was like an egg hitting a rock.

Any mistake may cause the whole project of "Killing with a Borrowed Knife" to be completely insulated from Chaos Films, but this is still a trivial matter. If Tom is really angered, Chaos Films' future development will be the most difficult. After the success of "City of God" and "The Day After Tomorrow," the last thing the rising Chaos Films needs is another enemy -- and one like Tom's at that.

Therefore, Lance didn't know anything deep in his heart, not to mention he didn't expect the situation to develop to the point of tearing his face apart.

But Lance knew that he had no way out. "Murder with a Borrowed Knife" is very important to Tom, because it is an Oscar-winning film. If the quality of the finished product is not satisfactory, Tom may not be angry with Lance, but they cannot become best friends; For Chaos Shadow Industry, it is also a desperate choice.

He needs Tom to get out of his comfort zone—for Tom's sake, and for his own.

Lance has not experienced a long life in the spotlight, he does not know what the so-called "idol baggage" is all about, he has no way to experience this feeling, but he knows what is going on in the comfort zone, it can be said to be boiled in lukewarm water Frogs can also be said to be trapped in quicksand. This is a position where you feel comfortable and even safe. Years of accumulated experience have formed habits and evolved into instincts. Unless there is a threat of death hanging by a thread, most people have no way to escape from this position. domain—even if you try to get out of it, the instinct/response will fall into the same rut again.

Therefore, if you want to get Tom out of that iconic way of acting, let Tom get out of that charismatic discharge mode, you can only draw your salary from the bottom of the pot.

Lance almost didn't give Tom any face, and attacked mercilessly. This dose of strong medicine was definitely full of weight, and he vented it without any reservations, but the remaining rationality did not make him go completely mad. He always expresses his views around the link of performance, and at the same time he does not forget to use aggressive methods, hoping to truly stimulate Tom's deep desire for Oscar.

However, no one knows what result this move will lead to. Everything is a double-edged sword, and the most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart. No one knows how Tom will deal with the strong medicine just now.

If that fails, then...

Lance didn't think about the outcome of failure, because he didn't like to make assumptions. If something really happened, the soldiers would cover it up. Now, what Lance needs to think about is how to break Tom's acting shackles and lead him to the right track step by step.

In fact, in the past five days, Lance has tried various methods, and he is almost going to do it directly like a clay figurine. But the power of habit is still too strong, and Tom is not used to it at all. As the filming progresses, Tom just becomes more and more irritable and struggling, which makes Lance almost have the urge to give up... But, he will not give up Yes, even if Tom wanted to give up, he wouldn't allow it.

In "Magnolia", the reason why Tom's performance is so good is that it is similar to the way of being completely outside, which makes Tom's character lose control bit by bit, and finally stops abruptly before losing control, which has reached the best level; In "Interview with the Vampire", the reason why Tom left a deep impression on people is because Tom can play his own charm unscrupulously. The handsome image with a touch of evil charm is perfectly combined with the vampire. ...So, what about "killing someone with a borrowed knife"?

His head throbbed uncontrollably, and Lance decided not to continue thinking about it for the time being. He knew that the solution was somewhere in his mind, and he needed to give himself some breathing room, and then quietly wait for the solution to surface. It's like a toy that you can't find at home, but after you forget it, it appears in front of you at a certain moment.

There was a faint pain in the shoulder. The action of hitting Terence just now was from Gao Wenxue, but he was not proficient after all, and the force was not accurate enough. Now the shoulder can feel the pain. I don't know if it is bruised. Rubbing his shoulders, Lance took out his mobile phone from his pocket, dialed a familiar number, the phone rang for a while, and the other side answered the phone, his voice was full of sleepiness, "Who's there? "

"Have you entered the preseason mode?" Lance rubbed his sore temples, pulled the corners of his mouth, and showed a relaxed smile.

Gao Wen on the other end of the phone had already sat up, but when he heard Lance's voice, his shoulders relaxed again, and he hid under the blanket, "Well, we're going to start adjusting the biological clock now. What time do you give me?" I'm calling, isn't it just to wake me up and buy you candy?"

The two brothers seemed to be reminded of the past fun, and couldn't help laughing, "No, what I lack now is a bottle of beer."

Gao Wen still closed his eyes tightly, and said cheerfully, "I can order takeaway for you, beer and pizza." After a pause, Gao Wen shrugged, "Of course, unless you want to share a Hawaiian meal with me Pizza." The subtext is, then he is willing to take the initiative to deliver it to the door.

Lance smiled lightly and shook his head, "Are you sure? You sat by the side and looked at me greedily. Maybe in the end, you can't stand the temptation anymore." Although Gawain couldn't help eating a high-calorie diet, he had to Keep it regular, it's past midnight now, under normal circumstances, Gawain won't eat.

"It's still the offseason." Gawain's words made Lance laugh again. "So, are you still working now? Or did you call it quits early today?"

"Uh, I'm still on the set. Today's filming is only halfway through." Lance slowly relaxed, and he sank himself into the soft sofa to relax his tense muscles. Then he heard Gao Wen's hearty laughter, and the roaring voice hit Lance's eardrums like a drumstick, "I told you before, you really asked for trouble, and chose a film that was all shot at night. The biological clock of the entire production crew has been turned upside down, or else, you might as well go to London to shoot."

Listening to Gao Wen's schadenfreude, Lance curled his lips, "There is not enough funds, otherwise, if you sponsor me for three weeks' salary in September, I will fly to London to shoot."

"You really think of me as a cash machine?" Gao Wen laughed loudly after finishing speaking, "Theo and Ian can't help, how about it, now you know that I'm irreplaceable! "

Lance couldn't help but roll his eyes because of the three black lines on his forehead. Gao Wen's thinking circuit was really different from ordinary people, "How is it, how is the preparation for this year's season?" Lance directly ignored the topic just now, and chatted with Gao Wen. Although Gao Wen's voice was still lazy, when he complained about his teammates and the team, he was not vague at all. He babbled a lot, and Lance sat on the phone and nodded in agreement.

There was a "knock knock" knock on the door, and Albert's slightly hesitant voice came, "Lance, it's fifteen minutes."

In the blink of an eye, the fifteen minutes of rest had arrived, and I didn't know what was going on outside. Is Tom still there? Is Terence still there? Can the crew of "Murder with a Borrowing Knife" continue to film?

"I see." Lance yelled at the door, then lowered his head to the phone and said, "I'm going to work, you go on sleeping."

"Jesus Christ, you just abandoned me after using me?" Gawain muttered complainingly, causing Lance to chuckle, "If you don't want to sleep, I can ask Theo to call you , continue to talk about life." One sentence made Gao Wen choke.

"Lance." Just as Lance was about to hang up the phone, Gawain's voice came again, making him stop, "You know, you are always the best, you have to believe in your choices and Decided, at least, I will never doubt you." Gawain chuckled lightly, then paused, "Maybe we can add Theo and Ian." After finishing speaking, Gawain was silent for about half a second, "I'm going to sleep, you'd better stop calling me to harass me, or I'll let you know what a pile driver is when we meet next time!"

The phone was hung up immediately, and Lance sat in the dark, stunned. He thought he was hiding it well, but Gao Wen still heard the abnormality. The silence in the darkness gently covered the skin, but the cool air made Lance's brain gradually wake up, and a warm current flowed slowly in his heart. He raised his right hand and rubbed the corner of his eyes, then stood up. He got up, arranged his clothes at the door of the caravan, opened the door, and started walking again.
