“…… You go to shoot the United States, and those directors in the United States come to shoot us, and in terms of manpower, except for the exchange of directors of you, the rest remains the same. www.biquge.info In other words, you have to go to the United States and shoot this movie with American actors, American photographers, American props, and so on, and the American ones who come to China. ”

In a studio of about 80 square meters, Duane sat in the center, with a one-person-high easel in front of him, and a canvas sandwiched on it, which was already halfway through painting.

On the four walls of this studio, there are many canvases pasted, on which are all paintings that have been made, and Du An, who is sitting in the center of the room, is temporarily throwing down the paintbrush in his hand at the moment, holding his mobile phone and talking to Han Sanping on the other end of the phone.

"So troublesome?"

After listening to Han Sanping's words, he asked such a question, and Han Sanping on the other end smiled and said, "You also know, the national situation is like this." Moreover, the basic national policy has been said, let some people get rich first, and use the first rich to drive the later to get rich, and finally achieve common prosperity. Our circle is doing this, which can be regarded as a response to the call of national policy, but it has expanded the scope to the global field, and it can be regarded as an export of ideology. ”

Duane was silent.

Han Sanping is a special existence in the circle, half of this person is official, and many times what he says and does can be regarded as an official attitude, such as this time, the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States made a movie, and it was Han Sanping who contacted Du An.

However, Duane did not plan to agree immediately, he still had a lot to consider.

Hearing this, Du An, was silent for a long time, Han Sanping said again: "The works of this exchange plan will be promoted to the greatest extent, and they can get a lot of policy support, and this support is not only limited to the works on the exchange plan, but also the staff involved in the exchange plan, especially your directors, can also enjoy this kind of support for future works." For example, policy coordination in scheduling, application for extension of screenings, etc. ”

Duane smiled at the pleasure of it.

Han Sanping said it more vaguely, but for people who have been in this circle for a long time, this statement is already very straightforward.

"Radio and television are trying to meddle in the free market?"

That's a big move.

Han Sanping on the other end of the phone denied it: "The market is definitely free, it was before, and it will be in the future, but you have worked hard to help the country make films, and you can't let you go back empty-handed, right?

Du An nodded again and again, "Well, the country is kind, and the government is benevolent, so I don't have to say it." Then he changed the conversation and said: "I know the general situation, but this is to shoot the main theme of the United States, how can we know Chinese American history and culture so clearly...... Well, give me some time to think about it, and I'll give you an answer in the next two days. ”

Han Sanping was silent for a while, and then said earnestly: "Okay, but Xiao Du, I still have to tell you, many times we have to take a long-term view......"

Du An, who would contribute, whether to bring capital into the market, and how to divide the dividends, didn't want to talk about it anymore and said that he would consider it for two days, obviously not interested in this project. This was naturally seen by the old Han Sanping.

Du Anhaha even claimed that it was, so Han Sanping couldn't do anything, and finally hung up the phone.

As soon as Duane tossed his phone aside, a voice came from the side.

"Still found you?"

Du Yin nodded, turned to the right, and Su Jin was sitting there in a loose lounge casual suit, with an open magazine on her lap.

This is a villa on General Road, and it is also a new property that Duane bought in order to have such a large private studio. And Du An's moved over, so Su Jin and his mother naturally moved over.

The child is now sleeping upstairs, which is a rare leisure time for Su Jin after giving birth, it should have been Du An's painting and reading magazines, and the two of them leisurely enjoyed this quiet and tacit time together, but I didn't expect Han Sanping to come over and disturb it.

After giving birth, Su Jin recovered quite well, just a little fatter than before pregnancy, her face basically did not change, and she should be able to recover well into a hot mother if she insists on exercising. Now she doesn't read the magazines anymore, she just closes them, puts them aside, and asks Duane, "What do you say?"

Duane shook his head, "I don't know either." ”

Su Jin said again: "Didn't you say that you have an idea?"

This was yesterday, and as soon as the two saw the news, Duane laughed and said that if they really found him, he would really be able to come up with a work plan.

Duane said: "There are ideas, but if you have an idea, you don't necessarily have to shoot it, and you don't know, I'm ready for this movie for a while." ”

Su Jin came to his senses and said, "Then tell me what you think." Yesterday I asked you to talk about it, but now that the phone calls have come, you can always tell you what you think, right? I happen to give you a staff officer, if it's not good, just go back and shoot this you are preparing now. ”

"How can you just say a rough idea, how can you know if it will work......"

Du An muttered, scoffing at his wife's unprofessional thoughts, but after seeing Su Jin glaring at him, he hurriedly said, "Okay, then I'll talk about it." Didn't the last time the main theme of Liberation Day start with the big event, from the whole and from all walks of life? This time, if I wanted to shoot another main theme, I tried a new method, from the opposite direction, with a point and a person, this method is more substitutional and realistic, and then I thought of a story. ”

"If I had to shoot a typical American person, I would shoot a typical American person. Isn't the international community talking about the Chinese Dream and the American Dream? Just shoot a typical representative of the American Dream, use fictional characters to run through the real history, what happened to the Vietnam War, the black civil rights movement, and so on, all over again, tell the major historical events of the United States, and then concentrate the American Dream on this character, so that he can succeed through hard work throughout the course of history, and at best this character is still a fool, then it will be more dramatic and more able to embody the spirit of the main theme of the American Dream. You see, this kind of fool can succeed in the United States through hard work, and as long as we normal people are willing to work hard, we will definitely succeed! What an American spirit. This has a sense of history, dramatic tension and commercial ......"

Su Jin didn't seem to understand, and after listening, he only said: "It seems to be ...... It seems to be a lot more complicated than the one you're going to shoot now. ”

Duane agreed, "Well, to put it another way, it's more deep. But if you want to make money, I still have more confidence in the current movie, especially if this main theme is to be filmed, the government will definitely intervene, and the profits will shrink at that time. But Han Sanping is right, if you shoot this main theme, the preferential policies in the later stage will also be a profit. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and looked at the wall in front of him.

There are a lot of paintings hanging on it, and the pictures on them are different, the only thing that is the same is that the main characters on it are all strange-shaped monsters: there are crawling monsters with long necks, there are standing monsters with big heads, there are flying monsters with huge wings, and there are huge monsters that look like a small mountain......

These are the fruits of Duane's work, and the protagonists of the film he told Richard that he might make.

"It's hard to choose......"

Duane muttered to himself.
