Chapter 906 collective frenzy

Michael looked at the boiling crowd behind him with lingering fear. The crowded wave was about to overturn the roof, and he had the illusion that the studio was about to be overcrowded. Little shrimp, not to mention resisting, even breathing is extremely difficult.

Turning his head, Michael looked at the focal point among the focal points. Lance also looked a little embarrassed at this time. The enthusiastic audience gathered around him, not to mention the suits and shirts in the crowd, and even the short hair Everything became messy, and people’s fanaticism could be clearly felt in every corner of Lance’s body.

“Sorry.” Jie still politely apologized, but there was a hint of a smile on his face, “But I can’t blame them, it’s not so easy to meet you now, I don’t even remember the last time I was in the studio When did I see you.”

Lance glanced at Jie speechlessly, “I thought you would say that it’s because the results of ‘Fury Road’ are too good.” After loosening all the pomade on the hair, the whole body suddenly lacked a sense of restraint and seriousness, and added some casual atmosphere, and those translucent eyes seemed to be much warmer.

Jay was stunned by Lance, and he couldn’t help laughing, “You don’t need my praise for your excellence, do you?” They have already seized the opportunity in terms of topic popularity, “So, what’s next? What are your plans?”

Lance didn’t quite understand the meaning of Jie’s words, and raised his eyebrows slightly, “You want to invite me to lunch? Then you’re one step behind.”

“Work? Or a personal matter?” Of course, Jie didn’t ask about this aspect, but when he heard Lance’s answer, he had a flash of inspiration and asked the question.

Coming to New York again after a long absence, Wes Anderson and Edward Norton invited Lance to lunch. It was not a business, just a meeting of friends. The two also knew that during the promotional period of “Fury Road”, Lance’s night life must be rich and colorful, and invitations to various private parties were indispensable, so they also made an appointment for lunch.

But Jie’s words didn’t seem like a private chat. Lance’s eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Jie seriously, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth showing a trace of scrutiny. Jie spread his hands, not in a hurry to speak, but walked to the sofa, sat down, waited for Lance to sit down, and then smiled, “Don’t be so sensitive, I’m not a paparazzi, nor a big boss , my conversation is not so tricky.”

Lance pursed the corners of his lips, and said with a smile, “I didn’t say anything.” It still looked like a solid wall, watertight. He and Jay were friends, but only friends.

Michael and Charlize originally walked into the waiting room, but after hearing the topic here, Charlize quietly pulled Michael to sit far away on the other side, leaving the main space of the waiting room for the two of them, and other work The staff also retreated to the corner in a sensible manner, and there was an open space around the sofa. However, quietly, everyone pricked up their ears, eavesdropping on the extremely curious gossip.

Jie shook his head lightly, smiled wryly, but quickly returned to normal, “I said, if you want to ask for information from me, you will probably return empty-handed.” This time, Jie didn’t pause for too long, He continued, “There’s been a lot of news about your next project lately, so, are you really ready? Now that the film is in theaters, you’re already planning to get back to work?”

Lance suddenly realized that what Jay was spying on was news in this regard. Recently, “Iron Man” has indeed become a hot topic in Hollywood, especially after the box office premiere of “Fury Road” was released. It is intentionally warming up, but so far Lance has not given positive affirmation, and is still focusing on the promotion of “Fury Road”, so there is indeed a sense of turmoil in Hollywood now.

It’s just that I didn’t expect that even Jie had been mobilized to find out the news.

“Then you can rest assured that today’s lunch has nothing to do with this.” Lance did not answer directly, but shook his head with a chuckle and answered the previous question. This made Jay spread his hands and exclaimed, “Please.” Expressing his depression, “Lance, at least you can let me know a little bit.”

Lance didn’t put on airs anymore, but he didn’t answer directly either. Instead, he asked a question, “So, who asked you to inquire about the news?”

“Wow, that’s a lot, where do I start, adrian-grenier, nicolas cage, sam-worthington, yeah Oh, and Will Smith, Chace Crawford…” Jay listed a lot of names in one breath, as if without thinking, these names blurted out, “You know, I There are five episodes a week, and the number of agents, actors, and producers I met is countless. Just last week, I already felt nauseous. Everyone came over and asked me about ‘Iron Man’, as if I was yours The agent is average, I keep explaining that I have no news, but it still doesn’t help. Besides, there are john-krasinski, michael-cassidy, Jason -Jensen-Ackles, Channing Tatum… Phew, if you want me to keep counting, this list isn’t going to end anytime soon.”

In this list, Lance heard a lot of unexpected names, Nicolas Cage? Will Smith? Among those unknown newcomers, it is particularly harsh, which is very different from the situation in the previous life.

In the last life, “Iron Man” was in the preparatory stage, but it didn’t attract too many people’s attention. Even with “X-Men” and “Spiderman” ahead, the risks of comic book adaptations are still very high. “When the shooting was announced, most of the actors were generally not very interested. Otherwise, it would not be the turn of Robert Downey Jr., who was in the trough of his career.

But now it seems that after the “Iron Man” took the name of Lance, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes, especially among senior agents who have received extra attention. With comic-book adaptations like “Sin City” ahead, and commercials like “The Day After Tomorrow” and “Fury Road” behind, if “Iron Man” is really directed by Lance, then it’s definitely possible It can be called a soaring opportunity, and no agent will easily miss it.

It’s just that the premiere weekend of “Fury Road” has just passed, and Jay has received so many inquiries, which is indeed a bit unexpected.

However, Lance is not a fledgling rookie, he will believe what Jie says, “Hehe, Jie, we are old friends, there is no need to talk politely in front of me. Tell me, who is really asking for news?”

Jie took a serious look at Lance, and then nodded his chin lightly, “You are such a **** bastard, don’t you know that it is necessary to keep a little face in social situations? ?” Lance spread his hands, looking calm, and Jay shook his head with a smile, “Mark, Mark Walkerberg.”

“Mark Wackerberg?” Lance laughed brightly, “Why did Mark ask you for news? Mark Johnson can contact me directly.” Mark Johnson is Ben Affleck’s agent, if Lance If I remember correctly, he is also Mark Wackerberg’s agent, and belongs to the Creative Artists Agency, with very strong business capabilities.

“Are you serious?” Jie also retracted his chin, looking at Lance with contempt.

As we all know, because of the leak of the “Sin City” script, Lance and Ben had a very unpleasant quarrel, and it can even be said that they tore their faces. Mark Johnson’s role in it was also very embarrassing. Later, the Creative Artists Agency simply took Mark down and replaced it with Terrence Cox to continue the cooperation with “Sin City”.

Lance pursed his lips and did not refute. Jie added, “So, your next work has already been decided?” I asked Lance’s friends to see if Lance revealed his words in his daily life.

Lance avoided this topic again. Recently, he did not plan to respond positively, so that the rumors of “Iron Man” and “Invincible Hulk” slowly warmed up. He sat in the back, slowly reviewed, and looked for suitable actors. , At the same time, this is also a good time to observe the direction of Hollywood. “Mark Wahlberg? I don’t think he fits. His height is terrible.”

Mark is only 5.7 feet (174 centimeters~www.readmtl.com~ and since “The Departed”, Mark has trained his muscles a bit too frequently, and the proportion of his upper body seems out of balance, which is not good for the effect of the picture. Said it was not the best choice.

“What are you talking about? Mark Wackerberg and Robert Downey Jr. are the same height.” Jay’s rebuttal followed, which made Lance laugh out loud. It seems that recently Robert Downey Jr. It’s no secret that Nenny is active.

Lance patted Jay’s arm and stood up while talking, “It’s still early, isn’t it? The promotion period of ‘Fury Road’ has just begun.” Although there is no positive confirmation, Lance still Revealed a positive tone, I believe this is enough for Jie.

“Are you free on Thursday night?” Jie also stood up and said directly, obviously prepared, “There is a private party at Martin Scorsese’s house, and Martin asked me to forward the invitation letter to You.” Martin and Mark had just finished working together on “The Departed” and were very close. And, of course, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson.

“Thursday? Sorry, I’m flying to Chicago on Thursday. Next time.” Lance declined politely, nodded at Jie with a smile, then turned and left. (To be continued.)
