Movie Master

Lance avoided the topic of Chaos Films and gave up the opportunity for self-promotion, but at the same time avoided the topic of Diorama Films and avoided the possibility of blurring focus. Instead, Lance took the initiative to expose his shortcomings - "City of God" is almost full of shortcomings, which are not favored by Hollywood, so Lance has no scruples to directly point the topic to the shortcomings .

Harvey now has two choices, either to go further, to discuss the topic of directors, to attack Lance's weaknesses, and then take advantage; or to take a step back, ignore Lance's loopholes as a director and screenwriter for the first time, and change the topic. No matter which choice he chooses, it will be beneficial to Lance—because this is a flaw for him to actively sell, he must be fully prepared, and Harvey will step into Lance's trap step by step.

However, Harvey, the old fox, made a third choice, "Everyone and everything has a first time, and the first step is always taken, isn't it?" He skipped the topic lightly , "But I'm even more curious about how you would even think of making a movie like this, which, for God's sake, is such a bold choice."

Harvey not only silently avoided the trap dug by Lance, but also regained the initiative in his hands-talking about movies, this is a topic that Lance cannot avoid. The two have confronted four times in a short period of time, and it is still a tie. However, Harvey was obviously a little surprised by Lance's performance, and his attention has risen to a higher level.

In the past, people's evaluation of Lance has always been: the business is good, the emotional intelligence is not enough, and there are some keen senses for selecting works. This type of production talent is the main body of Hollywood. They will not be too good to reach the top, but they will not be too bad. They can become the backbone with occasional good works. Not up or down, not awkward or awkward, but it always exists.

But today, after a short fight, Harvey felt that Lance was radiant. Sure enough, the rumors are not credible.

Even though he knew it was a trap, Lance could only jump into it, because of the distribution rights of "City of God", which is the main purpose today, it is impossible for him not to talk about his own works. However, there are many ways to talk about it.

"Because you have nowhere to go?" Lance joked about himself, and in an instant he mentioned the inside story of Diorama Films, which caught Harvey off guard for a while, and then both of them laughed, "The truth is because, I I think this is a work that can make a difference in the awards season, and even hopes to hit the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."

The words that followed, with a strong confidence, ingeniously attracted Harvey's attention. Harvey couldn't help but gently leaned against the back of the chair. Although he was the one who took the initiative, his curiosity was completely controlled by Lance at this moment, "Oh? Why are you so confident?" Harvey knew that saying this would mean that Lance regained the initiative—he could introduce "City of God" as planned, but Harvey said it anyway.

"Because this is an excellent movie?" Lance's skillful teasing made the atmosphere in the office very relaxed. At this time, the office door was opened again, and the secretary walked in with two cups of coffee. It's unimaginable that Lance and Harvey have already played against each other several times in just the time to make a cup of coffee.

Lance smiled politely at the secretary, as if there was no trace of nervousness at all, and then he looked at Harvey, "This is a very interesting movie. I once imagined such a hypothesis, you know that your next-door neighbor What kind of life do you live?"

Lance's opening chapter once again surprises Harvey. Harvey has not seen the fifteen-minute short version of "City of God," but he has seen a version of the trailer, as well as the proposal, and he knows that this movie has nothing to do with neighbors.

Harvey shrugged and didn't answer, obviously he didn't fall for it, but Lance didn't care, and continued, "The neighbor may be an ordinary car repair worker, or he may be a terrible serial murderer, but we We don’t know because we never really take the time to understand our neighbor’s world.”

"Wow, you live in a very interesting neighborhood." Harvey's jokes were wrong, disrupting Lance's rhythm.

Lang paused, swallowed the words that came to his lips, and turned in a direction following Harvey's words, "Yes, this is an idea that my movie wants to express. It's just that this is not a block, but A city. Rio is such an interesting city."

Harvey pursed his lips meaningfully and nodded. He must admit that, so far, Lance's rhetoric has indeed attracted him and made him interested. However, on the surface, Harvey remained calm and did not respond. He just motioned for Lance to continue, and Lance had no reason to refuse.

"In Rio, you can see millionaires who are enjoying themselves leisurely, and you can also see homeless people who can't eat enough. For the residents of this city, their lives are rich and colorful, and they are even considered to be created by God. But that’s the fun part—nobody ever really understood Rio, and nobody really understood that somewhere in Rio there was a group of people who lived in their own way. That is the bottom of society, dark and without a shred of hope, but it really exists and is close at hand."

Lance's description led Harvey to blurt out, "It's like there's a serial killer living next door."

"Yes, it's as if the neighbor next door is a serial murderer." Lance nodded in the affirmative answer. At this time, Lance should continue to work harder to further convince Harvey by making the "City of God" hype talk; but Lance did not, he suddenly fell silent, and looked at Harvey calmly.

Because Lance knows that Harvey is an old fox, all he needs is a spark of inspiration, too much explanation will only reveal the mystery, and will make Lance fall to the humble state of "seeking more from others" , and then Harvey will step on a few more feet without hesitation to maximize his own interests. Therefore, it is the best choice to leave unlimited reveries.

Harvey was indeed lost in thought. First of all, he had to admit that Lance's strategy was very effective. He expressed the "City of God" in a thrilling and exciting way, and at the same time aroused more curiosity. He couldn't help guessing What kind of people are those "neighbors" living in the City of God, and what stories happened to them.

In such a limited space, Harvey thinks that he can't do better than Lance—after all, Lance has nothing now, "City of God" is a self-written and directed debut, and it is also about Brazil. A portuguese film of the favelas, and without any familiar faces. Faced with such a desperate situation, Lance is indeed impressive.

However, Harvey is not an ordinary person. It is definitely not luck that he can reach today's height.

"So, it's like Brooklyn and Queens in New York." Thoughts were rolling, but it was really just a breathing space, Harvey said immediately. It seems to be a discussion following the above sentence, but the words are full of wit, and the subtext is, why did you shoot Rio de Janeiro instead of New York?

Lance smiled and shook his head, "But New York is not Rio." The slums in New York are completely different from the City of God. This is the difference between a country and the whole system.

"Rio is not New York." Harvey's rebuttal directly grabbed Lance's throat. Harvey changed his posture for the first time since the conversation, his body leaned forward slightly, and the whole sense of oppression came over his face, "and Brazil also Not the United States. Lance, you should be well aware of how difficult the prospects for foreign language films are in the American market, right?"

Harvey finally tore off the mask and showed his true colors. Lance didn't panic either. He smiled and leaned forward slightly, "So I'm talking about the best foreign language film, not the best film." This confidence made Harvey laugh, "Harvey, It's a show that promises to follow in the footsteps of 'Grand Central Station', and I think you won't want to miss it."

Where did Lance get the confidence that his directorial debut could reach the heights of "Central Station"?

But at this time, Harvey didn't want to mock Lance, but showed a sincere smile, "Lance, to be honest, you have moved me, and I really look forward to working with you." Si had an ominous premonition, "But you and I both know that it is definitely not an easy task for a foreign language film to succeed in North America. Whether it is box office or awards. Let's not say for now, whether Brazil is willing to This film is used as a representative to participate in the Oscars, but the operation of this work is very difficult, and there is currently no place for this type of film in the current plan of Miramax Films.”

Harvey's refusal came so suddenly~www.wuxiax.com~and so decisive.

It is precisely because of this that Lance is even more angry. All the words and all the confrontation just now are actually just a game of cat and mouse for Harvey. Harvey is enjoying the pleasure of the mouse struggling under the claws. From the very beginning, Harvey has no intention of nodding his head in agreement. This cooperation. The right to decide is in Harvey's hands from beginning to end.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Harvey smiled kindly and sincerely, "I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."

However, at least Harvey did not lock all the possibilities, but still reserved all the possibilities with the politeness of social occasions. Lance thought to himself mockingly. If he could, Lance would have just punched Harvey and vented all his recent anger; but Lance knows that this is the reality of society, and his impulsiveness and anger will only make him more pathetic and cut him off. All future possibilities.

The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world is for profit. There is no need for Lance to be angry. Today they broke up unhappy, but maybe tomorrow Harvey will come to the door with a smile on his face to seek cooperation.

"Understood, then it's really a pity." Lance still had a decent smile on his face, then stood up, shook hands with Harvey again, "I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." He turned around and left in a muddy manner, but when he reached the door, Lance stopped in his tracks and turned around and said, "By the way, forgive my impoliteness, please send my regards to Ms. Uma-Thurman (Uma-Thurman)."
