Chapter 44 Piracy

Huo Que came to the company at nine o'clock the next day, but still didn't hold any meetings for his employees, but came to his office, made himself a cup of coffee, and then moved a chair and sat with Erlang's legs crossed to the window.

Santa Monica is beautiful under the soft sunlight, but unfortunately the office that Huo Que rents can't see the sea, but this is enough for him, because no matter what kind of coffee he drinks or what kind of scenery he sees, it is actually just to pass the boring time.

He made an appointment with someone today, and because he had seen this person's unpunctuality, Huo Que was ready to wait for a long time.

"Bang Bang ......"

There was a knock on the door, and Huo Que put his legs down, but he was guessing who would come to him at this time. If Alex basically just knocked on the door and came in directly, and the employees of the company generally wouldn't come in without Huo Quan's instructions, could it be Alice and Laurie?

During this time, Huo Que knew that the two of them had been running around with him, and had never rested in the real sense, and for the sake of human nature, Huo Que gave them a week's vacation so that they could relax. But with Huo Que's understanding of Laurie, he would not let himself rest for so long, and it was very likely that he would take advantage of the holiday to ask some questions.

"Please come in." Huo Que shouted.

The door was gently pushed open, but it was not Laurie, but a handsome young man in a suit and tie, who was about thirty-two or thirteen years old, and seemed to have a smile on his lips all the time, giving a sense of affinity.

Huo Que thought about it in his mind, he was sure he hadn't seen this person, why did he come to find him? Is it a salesman?

"Hello." Out of politeness, Huo Que stood up and stretched out his hand to the man. No matter who the other party is or what kind of identity it is, the least respect is a must, which is the least way to behave.

"Good morning." The man also stretched out his hand and shook Huo Que, then looked at Huo Que with interest, and said jokingly: "You shouldn't have forgotten me, right?" ”

Huo Que looked stunned, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he was sure that he hadn't seen this person, but the other party's words seemed to be very familiar with him, could it be that he had forgotten it? There is basically no such possibility, Huo Que thinks that his memory is not bad to that extent.

"My name is Huo Que." Huo Que held the other party's hand and didn't let it go, as a person with two life experiences, of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to say, "Yes, I don't know you." "It's a very smart choice to introduce himself first, if the other party really knows him, and if he is a person who knows the world, he will definitely introduce himself, of course, he can also know from Huo Que's expression at the moment that Huo Que has forgotten him, if the other party is just joking, he will tell the truth at this time.

But the other party didn't seem to be a well-versed person, he broke free from Huo Que's hand holding him, and said with a little displeasure: "You really forgot about me, anyway, we also drank together." ”

Drink? When?

Huo Que tried hard to recall the picture of drinking during this time in his mind, but it made him regret that he didn't seem to have passed through a bar when he came to this world, even if he usually ate, he didn't drink a drop of alcohol.

"I'm sure I got drunk the last time we drank." Huo Que's tone is not as polite as before, even if it is a joke, there has to be a degree, isn't this a trick?

"You're sober, otherwise why would you ask me to score your movie." The man made it to the chair opposite Huo Que's desk and squinted.

Huo Que was stunned for a moment, then remembered, looked this person up and down, and said in disbelief: "Are you Mr. Hanks?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Hanks nodded.

"Oh my God......" Huo Que showed a helpless expression: "I didn't expect it to be you, the key is that I don't believe you will be so punctual." ”

Huo Que This is a joke, the reason why he really doesn't believe it's Hanks is that this has changed too much.

The last time they met, Hanks' face was almost obscured by his thick beard, and even if Huo Que wanted to write down his face, it was like a beggar. And now the young man standing in front of him has a sunny smile, a handsome dress, and a handsome face. Even the best detective writers may not be able to connect these two people, let alone Huo Que can recognize him.

"Because I have a job now." Hanks shrugged and said, "I used to wander the world because I didn't care, but now it's different, I promised to dub your movie is equivalent to having a job, and since I'm going to work, then I have to have a work attitude." ”

Huo Que also sat down, looked at Hanks, who had changed in front of him, and said with a smile: "To be honest, you gave me a surprise that I was at a loss. ”

"People are multi-faceted, and many people think that this side of my expression now is normal, and the side of me you saw before is crazy in the eyes of others, but in fact, they are all alone, but they have just changed their clothes." Hanks was very breezy when talking about it.

"Indeed." Huo Que said: "I try my best to hide the side that others don't want to see, and show my best side to others, the purpose is just for others to see, and you don't care whether others look at you or not." ”

Ordinary people look at people to see the surface, experienced people look at people to see their temperament, and wise people look at people to see their hearts. Huo Que is not a wise man, he is just a person with a little experience, but he can see Hanks clearly, because he is not hiding himself at all, he is like a ******** exposed to the sun, it is ugly and beautiful that you need to observe seriously and carefully.

"You're very honest." Hanks smiled.

"I'm just confessing what I said, and you're making a confession." Huo Que praised this monster in the eyes of many people.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Hanks took out a USB flash drive from his arms and handed it to Huo Que: "When I have nothing to do, I wrote out the music of the part of the reunion at the end of the movie, I found a band to record the sample two days ago, are you satisfied with listening to it?" ”

"How did you know the end of the movie?"

Huo Que's tone suddenly became displeased, and he was even a little angry.

Only a few people know the script of this movie, even if the actors in it have signed a confidentiality agreement, if someone reveals the plot of the movie, it will be held legally responsible, so how did Hanks know the plot of the movie?

As a director, Huo Que certainly knows how important the secrecy of the film is.

Just like Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it won $128 million at the box office in the United States that year, breaking the record for a North American foreign language film, and won four awards at the Oscars, including the Best Foreign Language Film award, with a global box office of $230 million, becoming the holder of the highest box office record for a Chinese film.

However, the box office in the mainland is less than 15 million, and the exchange rate between the renminbi and the US dollar in 2000 is less than 3 million US dollars. With the habits of Chinese people, such as this kind of movie that has won the highest honor abroad, how can no one watch it, is it because the films made by their own people do not meet their own tastes? Of course not, in the final analysis, piracy is still to blame.

The premiere of this film was in France, and the release time was May 16, 2000, and the release time in the mainland was July 8, 2000.

It was an era when albums were released today or movies were released, and there were pirated copies in video stores tomorrow, when cultural property rights were not protected, and when pirate merchants completely ignored the life and death of genuine publishers.

This is the reason for the fiasco of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", otherwise it would not have waited for Zhang Yimou's "Hero" to break the record of Chinese films.

Therefore, for piracy, especially the content of the film before the movie is released, it is taboo for any film producer, and it is understandable that Huo Que is so excited.

Of course, Hanks knew Huo Que's thoughts, he smiled and said: "You once told me that this movie is a family comedy, and I guess that since it is a family comedy, the ending must be a happy reunion, so I will compose the music first." ”

Huo Que breathed a sigh of relief and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, it seems that I misunderstood." ”

"Nothing, I can understand." Hanks waved his hand generously: "But don't do it next time." ”

(If I hadn't experienced that yesterday, I would never have believed that the world would be so dark.) )

(Yesterday, my friend's wife fought with another woman, and I didn't have time to hang up the phone when I was still on the phone, and I was scratched by two women, not to mention, the husband of the other woman's even said that I beat his woman, this is not the key, the key is that this man is friends with the director of the Public Security Bureau, and then I, the witness, became a suspect, and I was locked up from half past one in the afternoon to half past eleven in the evening, but fortunately there was surveillance to release me, otherwise I would have to stay inside for I don't know how long.)

I don't want to say much about the rest...... Society is like this, what can I do...... )
