Outside the conference room, both teams have been sitting in the employee lounge area not far from the conference room for two hours. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If you sit silly, two hours will probably make people stupid, but the entertainment facilities in the employee rest area of ILM are quite rich, such as honest disc game consoles, mainstream game computers, and even the latest somatosensory game consoles that came out this year, all of which are available to meet all kinds of game needs. In addition to all kinds of game equipment, there are also all kinds of simple fitness equipment, such as parallel bars, treadmills, etc., and now the executive head of the Duane team is running slowly on the treadmill because of sitting for a long time to relax his muscles. There were also small basketball hoops and even waterbeds, but no one in the room actually ran to sleep on their stomachs on the waterbed for a while.

After all, both sides represent the face of their own side, and no one will really do such a rude thing.

The leader of Zhou Xingchi's team is obviously his agent Tian Qiwen.

This agent is very familiar to the audience, and has made many cameo appearances in Zhou Xingchi's movies, such as the third senior brother in "Shaolin Football", and Hong Ye's flamboyant subordinate in "The King of Comedy", all of which were played by him. This agent is not as nonsensical and exaggerated as in the camera in daily life, his expression is still quite solemn, but because he has been waiting for too long, he is obviously a little anxious, he was originally sitting there watching a movie, but from time to time he raised his head and glanced in the direction of the conference room, obviously not understanding why the two people have not come out for so long.

And just as he looked over the conference room for the eighth time, the door finally opened.

Although everyone was doing their own pastime, everyone's attention was obviously in the direction of the conference room, as soon as the door opened, everyone was running, watching movies or playing games, their eyes immediately looked in the direction of the door of the conference room, and then they saw Du An and Zhou Xingchi appear at the door together, the two side by side, both of them were calm, like a calm lake, making it impossible to see what was hidden under the lake.

After seeing the two of them come out, everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around.

This meeting is over.

The group walked out in two groups as if they came, Du An sent Zhou Xingchi and his party all the way to the elevator door, and when the elevator came, he stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Xingchi again.

"I'm glad to have the opportunity to meet and talk this time, and I hope to chat with you next time, Mr. Zhou. ”

Zhou Xingchi said: "Me too. ”

Seeing that his expression seemed to have something on his mind, he didn't stop for much, and directly entered the elevator with the others and left.

When Zhou Xingchi and his party left and cleaned up this side again, Du Ane took a few executives to have supper, and after eating, everyone went back to their respective homes.

It was already past eleven o'clock when Du An's arrival home, and when he entered the door and was in the slippers, he heard a sound in the living room, poked his head out, and saw that Su Jin had not slept yet, and was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed watching TV.

He changed into slippers and pulled into the living room and walked towards the sofa, asking, "Haven't you slept yet?"

"Hmm!"

Su Jin answered loudly, blinking at him with big eyes, "Are you done talking to him?"

"Well, that's it. ”

Du An said this, looking at Su Jin.

She was wearing a small dinosaur dress, her whole person was round, her hair was tied into two bags on both sides of her head, like Nezha, she looked well-behaved, her feet were crossed, and her hands were obediently placed on her legs.

"The clothes you just bought?"

Duane sat down next to her, reached out and tugged at the little tail behind her buttocks, trying to pull it to the front to take a look, but the tail was too short to pull away.

"What kind of wind is this going to go today, ****?"

Su Jin's face turned red, and he hit his hand with a snap, and opened his hand, "Don't pull someone's tail, it hurts!"

There seemed to be three black lines flashing on Du An's forehead, but he really couldn't help but face Su Jin's delicate little face that was blushing and aggrieved in front of him, so he had to cooperate with her with the same mental retardation: "Okay, huhu, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt." "It doesn't matter what I grabbed just now, the little hand that grabbed Su Jin was a whirring blow.

The two of them were tired of crooking for a while, and finally developed into a posture in which Duane was slumped on the couch, and the little dinosaur was lying on his stomach, using his thighs as pillows.

On TV, the midnight theater of a certain friend station is playing "The Pioneer of Law and Politics".

"Is it going well today?"

Du An heard the sound coming from his legs, "um", one hand covered Su Jin's head and slowly rubbed the small bag on her head, staring at the TV, but he couldn't devote himself to the show, but observed the acting skills of several TVB actors in the play, and secretly thought in his heart: modularity is too serious......

He asked to be given a night to think one last time, and if nothing else, to work with him. ”

Su Jin asked again: "Then is he as funny as in the movie?"

Duane shook his head, took his mind back from the TV, looked down at the little head lying on his lap, and said, "Quite a serious person, very introverted, three sticks can't beat a stuffy fart." ”

Su Jin seemed to feel that his current position was not comfortable enough, so he moved his head on his lap and changed the position to pill it, and then said: "Oh, that's it, I thought he was like this in real life when I saw him in movies...... Isn't that good? Your homework was not done in vain, and he is about to join in, so how do you feel like you're not happy?"

Duane asked rhetorically, "Is there one?"

"If he joins now, it is absolutely good news for the film, although the salary expenditure may have to increase, but compared with this part of the increased salary expenditure, the market impact he brings is even greater, it is good news for me, I am too late to be happy, how can I not be happy?"

The reason why Du ane went to great lengths to find a way to persuade Zhou Xingchi is also based on this reason, which is to increase the market influence of "Truman's World", expand the reach, and achieve better influence results.

Su Jin said: "But I just feel that you seem to be a little worried." ”

Duane didn't ask any more questions this time, but reflected carefully, and finally had to admire the delicacy of his girlfriend's thoughts.

He seemed to have something on his mind, and this thought came from a sentence in the conference room just now.

"Can't business be art?"

This is a sentence that Zhou Xingchi asked him during the conversation, and his answer at the time was "Of course, in essence, commercial films themselves are a unique kind of art films, so there is no unbridgeable gap between them." It is possible to create a profound theme in a way that conforms to the laws of business, and if the producer is skilled enough, then it is possible to achieve perfect unity. ”

He didn't say anything nonsense, his understanding of business and art is indeed like this, but he said three words less.

Theoretically.

Perfect unity is just an ideal state.

Duane once tried on his "One Flew Over the Asylum", he wanted to enhance the commerciality while being artistic, so as to achieve a win-win situation in both aspects, but the actual result was that if he was willing to cut some commercial factors and not think too much about commercial factors, then he could leave more room to deepen the artistic depth of the film.

Business does affect the arts.

Zhou Xingchi's words aroused his dedication to balancing art between business and art.

"When you say that, I really remember,"

Du An's fingers circled the small bag on Su Jin's head, and said slowly: "I'm thinking about such a question, will the box office of the so-called literary film one day also break the box office record?"

Everyone says that Zhou Xingchi loves money and picks doors, but Duane's dedication to money is probably not much weaker than Zhou Xingchi - he has always been running for money when making movies.

He never thinks about adding any artistic depth to the film when he makes commercial films, but when he makes so-called literary films, he always thinks about adding commerciality to the film, the last time he filmed "One Flew Over the Asylum" was, and this time he is going to shoot "Truman's World" is the same - although "Truman's World" is not his investment, but he has dividends, and he gets more when the movie earns. Moreover, the box office can also reflect the market coverage, and the more commercial the box office is, the greater the market influence, which is more in line with his purpose.

Su Jin chuckled, "In that case, what do you want commercial movies for?"

Duane was also amused by what he had just said, and shook his head, "Yes." ”

Having said that, his mind was unstoppable in this regard.

If you want to be more commercial, then the script is bound to move......

Although Duane is now busy with the preparation of "Truman's World", the media don't know that their eyes are still focused on the fact that "Liberation Day" broke the box office record, and public opinion from various angles has been arguing on the media page for several days, which really hyped Duane's popularity.

And on this day, a new news appeared in the "Nanyang Morning News".
