readx;?not waiting for Tina? Faye replied, and Duke added, "Actually, the clown is more like a usurer, and when people get something from him, they give up other things, and what they give up is the nobler part of people." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

This is actually a very simple truth, just like Duke before, no matter what others do, he always sticks to a bottom line.

In his view, when people adhere to principles, they are insisting on their souls; When people want to behave appropriately, they are thinking about their own dignity; When people guard the bottom line, they are maintaining basic values.

Even in the highly developed business society of North America, people do all these things to give themselves a higher evaluation rather than a lower evaluation, to inject meaning into their lives, not to drain them.

Human beings are the kind of existence that is very plastic, and of course there is the possibility of falling, but this is not the only prospect; Of course, there is a selfish and cowardly side, but this is not all there is to people.

How well a person actually behaves depends on the environment provided for him.

If a condition is too cramped, it only allows one to release the lower side of human nature, not the higher side of the soul; He was only allowed to eat and drink and not to pursue his values, otherwise severe punishment would come - this could be seen as a kind of deprivation of him, a deliberate attempt to humiliate him, to diminish his humanity and human dignity.

In this case, it cannot be said that his pig-like life is a life closer to human nature, and therefore a more "real" life. What is the truth about a person? What is his original appearance and the life he wants? This will not surface until the pressure is relieved.

Talking about the truth of people in the midst of threats, treating people's coerced state as the moment when the truth emerges, and believing that meanness is the essence of human beings, is what a mentally ill person like the Joker does, because his own vision is in this place, like the lines in the script, and he tries to pull others down to his own level.

For example, when the film deals with the choices of the people on the two boats, it provides an unexpected solution for the Joker.

First, the people on the prisoner's boat threw away the remote control, accepting the possibility that the other party would die in the belly of the fish if they activated their side. and is unwilling to start by oneself and let the other party turn into a sea of fire; In the same way, in the boat of the citizens, despite some hesitation, no one is willing to pay this human price in the end. Keep the world under the control of the wicked through their own hands.

Whether this is a person's performance at the last moment is something they don't know under normal circumstances.

Think of the 9/11 incident, in which the men on one plane fought to the death against the hijackers, and they knew what the consequences would be. But still chose to do, people are not only negative, but also the other side of the brilliance, if you stand on a higher height, it is not difficult to find that people are not only small, but also may be another face.

A person like a clown would never and would not want to see a different side of people.

So, no matter how brilliant the role of the clown is, he is always a - a criminal!

It's just mid-November, Nancy? There was good news from Josephson's side, and her ICM was successfully poached from the artist management company. Already officially with Michael? Bei signed the contract.

However, to Michael? The box office results of Bei's first three films are not too easy to find a suitable project.

Over the weekend, Duke took a break from what he was doing to accept Steve? At the invitation of Steve Jobs, he went to San Francisco to attend a cocktail party hosted by Apple.

"Duke, I plan to release the first generation of iPhone next year." Steve? Jobs stood across from Duke and raised his glass slightly, "How about you come to be an endorsement?" ”

"How much can you pay for me?"

No matter how much endorsements are made, Feduk will not do it. He just made a casual joke, but seeing Jobs' serious expression, he had to say, "Steve." I've always been your supporter, and it's not suitable for me to be an endorsement, if you really plan to find a spokesperson, it's better to find an A-list star. ”

"I think you're good." Steve? Jobs didn't give up and added, "Famous." The influence in the world is huge. ”

Duke didn't have any interest in commercial endorsements, shook his head without hesitation, and said, "Speaking of fame, Steve, you're much more famous than me in the electronics industry." ”

He had a flash of inspiration and said, "You can do it yourself." ”

Steve? Jobs looked thoughtful, as if he was really considering Duke's words.

After all these years with Steve? Jobs's open and secret competition, Duke has always held about seven percent of Apple's shares, but he has never spoken much in Apple's affairs, as long as it is not related to his affairs, then let the agent support Jobs, if Jobs is not there, then support Tim? Cook.

Anyway, he didn't think that he could get any real power in Apple.

Steve? No sooner had Jobs left than another person came over and said, "Hello, Duke. ”

"Hello, Bill." Duke in Bill? Gates gently shook his outstretched hand.

He was still a little curious about Bill? How could Gates appear at the cocktail party of the sworn enemy, but after a few words of greeting with the world's richest man, he remembered.

When Jobs returned to Apple and was in dire need of funds to get Apple back on its feet, he and Bill? Gates has reached out to Apple, but Steve? Jobs, for balancing reasons, accepted part of the investment from the two separately, but Bill? Gates invests even more.

"I heard you ordered a big guy over 500 feet last time in New York?"

The two of them are not even familiar, and they are talking about topics that are not salty or light, Bill? Gates was referring to the yacht show in New York, "Looks like my old guy should be eliminated too." ”

Duke just smiled and didn't say much.

Relatively speaking, Bill? Gates is one of the more low-key of the North American super-rich.

Gates and Duke only chatted a few words, and the two had almost no intersection in the industry they were in, and there was no business contact, and this kind of chat was just politeness.

Of course, whether it's Duke, or Bill? Gates has shown enough respect for each other.

People who have come to this point may be able to use all kinds of means behind their backs, and on the surface they are often a group of harmony.

However, there are exceptions, such as Larry? Ellison.

This famous madman, when he saw Duke, immediately walked over, Bill? Gates doesn't even look at Larry? Ellison glanced at him, whispered a word to Duke, turned around and walked away.

Larry? Ellison walked over and said to Bill? Gates snorted at the back and said, "Duke, we're meeting again." ”

His words were not very polite.

Duke shrugged, "I think Bill is really smart. ”

What does this mean Larry? Of course, Ellison could hear it, his face remained unchanged, and he said, "Afraid of me? Avoiding me? ”

"Afraid of you?" Duke couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Larry? Instead of answering, Ellison brought up with Bill? Gates on the same topic, "I heard you booked a yacht in New York that is more than 500 feet long?" Tell you, I've already transferred the Rising Sun to David? Geffen too. ”

Duke understands Larry? Ellison's intention, his Rising Sun, which was once the longest yacht in the world, was built when Paul? Allen was building a longer Octopus, and he did not hesitate to invest in changing the design, and finally got the so-called world number one.

Sure enough, Larry? "I've placed an order to build a 600-foot yacht. ”

Looking at Larry, who looks arrogant and arrogant? Ellison, Duke couldn't help frowning slightly, he didn't have those leisure pleasures to compare the length of a yacht with this kind of person.

"Congratulations on becoming the number one in the world." Duke said lightly.

This tone of non-care, let Larry? Ellison felt that all the words he had shown off in front of him were in vain, and the other party didn't answer his words at all.

But he immediately thought of what Duke cared about the most, and said, "You know, Duke, I invested in David's new film, and his new film will be released at the beginning of next summer!" ”

"Oh?" Duke was interested, "That's good news. ”

Larry? Ellison lifted his chin slightly, "Where's your new film?" Will your Batman be placed in early May? ”

"I'm just a director." Duke smiled and shook his head, "When the movie will be released, that's a matter for the distribution company to decide." ”

This kind of talk is obviously fooling Larry? Ellison, a layman, a few people in Hollywood don't know, he has a heavyweight say in the release time of the film.

Duke is not the kind of person who will be enthusiastic about jumping up and down when he is slightly squeezed with words, no matter what, he has lived for so many years, and if he is still impulsive at every turn, then the past time is really living on the dog.

Too lazy to continue with Larry? People like Ellison are entangled, Duke casually pulls up a reason, and goes to the other side, the other party doesn't care about etiquette and face, but he can't appear uneducated in public.

That's the one who is losing his mother.

However, he hasn't forgotten Larry either? Ellison's words, after all, according to the plan, "The Dark Knight" will be released in May at the beginning of next summer.

Walking to the small unmanned terrace, Duke took out his phone and dialed Tina? Fei's number, a few words simply.

When the reception was over and Duke was about to take the helicopter back to Malibu, he picked up Tina? Faye called back.

"Planned to be produced at a cost of $150 million and distributed by Walt Disney," said Tina? Fei said in as concise language as possible, "According to Richard? Matheson's novel adaptation, the project is tentatively titled "I Am Legend"! ”

"I Am Legend?" Duke nodded and hung up.

It might not be bad to have such a movie as a competitor. (To be continued.) )
