"Tick tock...... Tick tock......"

Holding a green folder, Zhou Xiuman knocked on the cover and hummed a meaningless rhythmic sound, walked to the licensed office, knocked on the door, and walked inside.

The office is very simple, with no couches for resting and no large filing cabinets, just a curved log desk and a few milky chairs, some irregular squares on the wall behind it, in which various papers are placed, and two pots of greenery on the windowsill on the left add a touch of life to the room.

"Xiao Ke...... Ahem...... Mr. Xu. Zhou Xiuman put the document on the table and said: "This is the text of the contract for the acquisition of Yangcheng Kale KTV System Integration Co., Ltd., you sign it and send it to Selina, even if the transaction is officially completed." ”

Xu Xu raised his head and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Sister Xiaoman! ”

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiuman pulled a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "I am now an employee of Google, what do you call Mr. Xu in the company?" ”

"There are no outsiders here."

Zhou Xiuman just smiled, quietly waited for permission to read the document, and after signing it, he sighed with emotion: "Xiao Ke, I used to think about all kinds of scenes of working for you, but I never thought it would be so fast, and it is like this." ”

"Give me a part-time job?"

"Yes, when I used to be a secretary for your father, I once thought about working in Jiashi for a lifetime, and when your father is old, as soon as you take over, I won't have to work for you." Zhou Xiuman looked around the office and said with a smile: "Half a year ago, you were still working as an assistant for me at Dexin Law Firm, and now feng shui is taking turns. It's my turn to be your assistant. In the words of that robot in your house, it's the ups and downs of life, it's so exciting, hahaha......"

"Sister Xiaoman, why have you been talking nonsense lately." Permission gave her a blank look. said: "You are a partner in the company like me. It's all the same administrative level, where is my assistant. ”

"That's different. Who doesn't know that you are the boss lady of Google, we are just working ......" Zhou Xiuman laughed with Xu Xu for a few words, took the document, stood up and said, "Xiao Ke." Let's take a break and go downstairs for a cup of coffee. ”

Xu shook his head, pointed to the pile of documents on the desk, and said, "I'll read these documents first." ”

"You, you, you also said that your dad patronizes work, and you are more like a workaholic than your dad." Zhou Xiuman sat down again and persuaded: "Learn more from your robot." Look at him, he hasn't been to the company for several days, and he doesn't care about tens of millions of dollars of business to tinker with some low-budget small movies. Get plenty of rest and rest. Relax a little and you see you're all thin. ”

"Is there one?" Xu Xu tapped his cheek with his finger and said, "I just weighed it a few days ago, and it is 300 grams heavier than last month." ”

"That's because you've drunk too much water." Zhou Xiuman sneered and continued to persuade: "Let's go, I'll get dizzy when I always stare at the documents, go out and take a break, and when I come back, my work efficiency will be higher." ”

"Okay then."

Xu Xu took out a handbag from a square behind him, and walked out of the office with Zhou Xiuman, passing by the creative design area, the two met Qin Fengyi with a tablet - after Google's restructuring and financing, Qin Fengyi and Zhou Xiuman both resigned from their original units and officially joined Google, Qin Fengyi only served as the director of art and image design because of her special status, and Zhou Xiuman was the senior vice president, fully responsible for the offline development and operation of Yahoo KTV.

"Sister Qin, let's go to Blue-March for a cup of coffee?"

"Go ahead, I've got a meeting with the design team." Qin Fengyi shook her hand and said, "Xiao Man, help me bring a latte back." ”

β€œok。”

While waiting for the elevator, Xu Xu asked, "Sister Xiaoman, why have you been calling Fang Xiao Robot recently?" ”

Zhou Xiuman covered the corners of his mouth with his right hand, and whispered with an exaggerated expression: "Because he didn't!" Yes! Feel! Feeling! ”

Permission cuts.

"You don't believe it?" Zhou Xiuman glanced at her and said, "Think about it, isn't Fang Xiao excited about doing anything?" The concert scene was so crazy, he didn't see it, hundreds of millions of shares, he gave it away without blinking his eyes, and the old lover Tang Yiyi, he didn't react at all, there was no human emotion at all, what is not a robot? ”

She looked left and right and saw that there was no one next to her, so she touched the permission and asked in a low voice, "Is he also one-two-three-four-five-six-seven in bed, doing it like a robot?" ”

"Sister Xiaoman!" Xu Xu's face turned red, and he smashed her with his handbag, complaining: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

"What's the matter, you still asked me and your dad about it in the first place." Zhou Xiuman asked again with a narrow smile: "Isn't it?" ”

Permission pursed his lips and turned his head to ignore her.

"Actually." Zhou Xiuman looked at the constantly beating elevator numbers, and said: "I suspect that Fang Xiao died a long time ago, and now this is a robot from the future, so he can write so many songs, in fact, he didn't write it, he copied it......"

"Sister Xiaoman, have you watched too many sci-fi movies?"

"Hahaha, whoever told you not to tell me, I'll disgust you if you don't tell me." Zhou Xiuman grinned and grabbed the arm of the license, and after entering the elevator, he asked again: "Is it not?" ”

There were only the two of them in this elevator, and Xu Xu glanced at her helplessly and said, "No! ”

"So do you sleep together with three people at night, or do you sleep separately and let the robot run on both sides with bare butts?"

"Sister Xiaoman, are you enough?!"

Zhou Xiuman laughed, leaned back and closed her laughter, and after laughing, she raised her hands up, stretched her waist widely, and said, "Oh, it's much more comfortable...... Xiao Ke, let me tell you, don't be too serious when you rest, let go of it, so that the brain can really get rest, always keep your face strained, and rest on the surface, but in fact, the brain is still working, so it's more tiring. ”

"How can you rest like this?" After a while, she also laughed and said, "Sister Xiaoman, you really want to think about it." Also one, two, three, four, five, six, seven...... Fang Xiao was very emotional, but he didn't show it much. ”

"Really?"

"Hmm." Xu Xu nodded and said, "When his movie is released, you will understand." ”

Zhou Xiuman was surprised. asked: "The "F&Q Movie" with an investment of only 5 million? ”

"yes. I read a few pages of the script and felt that the lines were well written. Permission smiles. "I think it's going to be a good movie. ”

"It's called "The F&Q Movie", but it's not filmed with you, the head of the orchestra." Zhou Xiuman became more and more curious and asked, "What movie is he making?" ”

"Actually, there are also my plays, but they are cameos. Play a passerby, only a few minutes ......"

Someone came in, the two of them were not talking, and after walking out of the office building, they put on their sunglasses and walked along the shadows of the edge of the building towards a cafΓ© not far away. The figure is good, although they all wear neutral professional clothes, they have their own characteristics and are very fashionable. Especially permitted, the white shirt with rolled cuffs and a light gauze skirt was capable and charming, and the return rate along the way was super high, but she had long been used to it.

"Xiao Ke, you've been spending more and more time in the company lately, do you feel a lot of pressure?"

Permission was silent for a moment, then admitted, "A little. ”

"Because Fang Xiao is so good, do you feel that there is a gap between you and him?"

"Hmm."

"Don't think so." Zhou Xiuman was relieved: "He has his ability, you have your ability, don't fight with him, there is nothing to fight." ”

Xu Xu didn't say anything, just looked up at the cafΓ©'s sign.

Three months ago, she and he sat in a cafΓ© like children, fighting for tens of thousands of dollars......

It's naΓ―ve......

Could it be that at that time, I fell in love with him?

I didn't want to fight with him, I just wanted to be worthy of him......

……

When he negotiated in the cafΓ© three months ago, Fang Xiao was also reminiscing about the time three months ago, but instead of negotiating, he borrowed a guitar - the room he was in now was only two buildings away from the practice room where he first met Licensing.

A tall figure, slightly curly short hair, clear eyes, and a stubborn expression......

Everything is as vivid as yesterday......

"Director, we're ready."

Fang Xiao left the dirty window at the entrance of the building, walked back to the rental room, and after observing the set, he said to a middle-aged man standing in front of the camera: "Brother Tong, let's try it." ”

"Good. Actors, lighting...... Everyone's in place!"

After the birth of the digital camera, what you shoot is what you see, the difficulty of making a movie has been reduced in a straight line, as long as you have money and a team, a cat and a dog can be a director, like Fang Xiao's previous life, Guo Jingming, Han Han and others have crossed over to be directors, and they have made a movie in a few months, they can shoot, of course Fang Xiao can also shoot, after all, Guo Jingming and others shoot original, Fang Xiao shoots plagiarism - although it is a hodgepodge of plagiarism, but at least before shooting, there are ready-made images in mind for reference.

Fang Xiao wanted to make "F&Q Movie", not because he was stimulated by the second-hand director as he said at the press conference, but because in his previous life, there was a precedent for variety shows to be remade into movies to make money.

At the end of December 2013, there was a film "The Voice of China: Turn Around for You" was released, with an investment of 30 million, and the ambition before the release was to "box office 1 billion", but after 10 days of release, a total of only 2.84 million was collected......

At the beginning of February 2014, another "Where Are You Going Dad" movie was released, with an investment of 50 million yuan, and it was filmed in 5 days, and the result was a great success, and it won a super high box office of 700 million yuan during the Spring Festival......

If there is a chance, no one wants to make a movie, since there is a precedent to refer to, Fang Xiao has no reason not to play, after all, "F&Q Dream Show" has nearly 3 billion hits and hundreds of hit songs, which naturally promotes the movie.

However, the precedent of the previous life only proves that this business model is viable, but it does not tell Fang Xiao how to make a movie - "The Voice of China: Turn Around for You", which is similar to "F&Q Dream Show", failed at the box office, indicating that no one likes to go to the cinema to watch the MV, and "Where Are You Going, Dad" is not the same genre as "F&Q Dream Rookie" at all......

So if you want to make money, how to make this movie, really think carefully and think carefully.

Long before the opening of the concert, Fang Xiao was thinking about this problem in his spare time, pondering and pondering, but he had no clue, after the concert, he was ready to give up this idea, until the day of the graduation dinner, he and Lan Xiaoxi said this sentence: "Drinking alcohol can increase the water in the body, so that tears are not so shameful." ”

This is a line he casually changed from "Chongqing Forest", which originally said: "Running can evaporate the water in my body, which makes me less prone to tears." ”

Then Fang Xiao looked at the classmates around him who were revealing their true feelings and the unclear Lan Xiaoxi in front of him, and decided to make a messy version of "Chongqing Forest", the reason why it is called a messy version is because the theme and artistic conception of "Chongqing Forest" about lovelorn and loneliness are very good, but the story does not conform to the identity and life of F&Q, so Fang Xiao grafted a Christmas movie called "True Love First".

"Love Actually" is a light comedy movie released in 2003, a hodgepodge of ten love stories, these ten stories develop independently, the characters in them are inextricably linked to each other, the plot is trivial and bizarre, love is full and regretful, it seems to be chaotic, but it is in the same vein, very distinctive.

"Chongqing Forest" and "Love Actually" are similar types of movies, but one has only two stories, and the other has ten stories, Fang Xiao is ready to use the film structure of "Love Actually" to tell the theme of "Chongqing Forest" - lovelorn and lonely are the most widespread themes in pop songs, "F&Q Dream Show" has drawn a lot of photos of this genre, and has also sung a lot of related songs.

In fact, whether it is the artistic conception of "Chongqing Forest" or the structure of "True Love First", it is not so easy to control, but Fang Xiao, a rookie, doesn't matter, anyway, it is a "insincere work of making money", the expectation is very low, and he himself has no pressure, although he is happy to shoot well, it doesn't matter if the shooting is bad, it only has a few million investments, just buy a pastime, there are hundreds of millions in the bank......

"Do you know you've lost a lot of weight?"

Fang Xiao sat in front of the monitor and watched a girl with long hair sitting on the toilet, holding a bar of soap and talking to herself.

"I used to be chubby, but now you are flattened, why bother, you have to have confidence in yourself."

If fans with good memory see it, they may see that this cape sitting on the toilet is very similar to the photo drawn in a certain episode of "F&Q Dream Show".
