It was very quiet in the conference room.

Duane sat in his position, looking around boredly, observing the surrounding environment.

This is a very wide house, with a total area of ​​about seventy or eighty square meters. There are windows on the south and north sides of the room, and the south side of the window is very small. At this moment, the sun is shining through the windows. The north side of the windows are quite large, occupying almost half of the entire wall. You can clearly see the employees outside working, but when you look inside, you can't see anything.

In the center of the room is an oval conference table, with Duane sitting at the first place to the left of the conference table.

He looked to the right, and Shu Yu was next to his right. At this moment, she was flipping through the stack of papers on the table in front of her, browsing quickly, and did not notice that she was looking at her; Duan looked forward again, and Fang Limin was sitting opposite him, and he was also sitting in front of him, just like Shu Yu, lowering his head and quickly looking at the materials in front of him; Duan looked at Fang Limin's left hand again, and there were two people sitting there in a row. It seemed that they should be executives of Rising Film and Television, and they were also looking down at the materials; finally Duan looked at the main seat, and Fang Liyong was sitting there. As expected, Fang Liyong was in the same position as others, but Fang Liyong was no longer stacked with heated 4 papers, but a notebook.

What they read was a script, but except for the original manuscript in Fang Liyong's hand, the others were temporarily copied.

Everyone was browsing seriously, so the room was so quiet that there was no sound except for the "slam" sound they made when they flipped the paper, and the senior manager in front of Duane, whose head was already a bit of a Mediterranean prototype would occasionally cough.

Because it was too boring, Duane began to think about it randomly, and his mind was full of thoughts.

In that summer of 2003, he came to the door with a script like today, but the reception location at that time was not this huge conference room, but Fang Limin's office. The review method was also very simple. Fang Limin casually read it and agreed, instead of like today, executives from several related fields of Rising Film and Television came to review it. The same difference is that the funding scale of this movie is not something that can be handled with 200,000 yuan like that...

A "pop" sounded, pulling Duan's attention back from his complicated thoughts.

He looked at the source of the sound and saw Fang Liyong closing the notebook in his hand, but instead looked at him, he lowered his head and looked at the desktop, as if thinking.

The frequency of paper flipping indoors was gradually slowing down, and it was getting less and less. Shu Yu raised her head first, and then the Mediterranean... Finally, the sound of paper flipping was no longer heard, and the few people sitting at the conference table raised their heads.

They've all finished reading it.

Then Du An saw Fang Liyong raise his head, glanced at Fang Limin's three people's faces one by one, and said lightly: "You've finished reading? Let's talk about your views."

"cough!"

Fang Limin coughed loudly, pretended to sort out the copy in front of him, and said, "Then I'll talk about it first."

"I think the conception of this script is very good and very novel. I have never heard of a similar story before! If I want to score, I will give this script 95 points! And I also believe that Director Du can express this movie well and give full play to the advantages and essence of the entire script. After all, this script was created by Director Du himself. I believe no one knows better how to shoot this story than Director Du..."

The three people on Rising Film and Television spoke in turn, and the unanimous tone was "This script is good". However, when the Mediterranean spoke at the end, Duane observed that he was a little reluctant to speak, but after taking a look at Fang Liyong without a trace, the Mediterranean shut up and ended his speech.

Fang Liyong did not say that he was just like this because of the unanimous praise from the three of them. Instead, he looked dull from beginning to end, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

By the end of the Mediterranean speech, Fang Liyong looked at the three of them, "No more? No more, I'll talk about it."

Fang Liyong said, looking at Du An, with a smile on his expressionless face.

"Director Du, your book is really good, the story is novel and has deep thought. If the filming is done, it may help you win the second Huabiao Award for Best Director."

Du An listened quietly, without saying anything, he knew that there was usually a "but" under such words.

Sure enough, Fang Liyong immediately verified his idea.

"but,"

Fang Liyong's smiling eyes were very deep, "What we want is actually a movie that can make money. To be honest, the commercial nature of this script is not optimistic in my opinion."

Duane did not refute.

He wrote this script, and of course he knew the advantages and disadvantages of this script, and Fang Liyong could see through it at a glance, proving that this man is indeed a bit of real skills.

But my buddy has written all the scripts, and I want to shoot this one, so how can you change it if you want to change it? And my buddy really needs this drama now. If you want to shoot it, it’s this, but if you don’t want to shoot it, it’s this, and you can’t help it.

Then Duane smiled.

"Mr. Fang, don't you see commerciality? It just so happens that it's the opposite of you. I have seen a lot of commerciality here. I even think this movie has the strongest commercial flavor among the movies I've ever made."

Fang Liyong obviously did not expect that Du An had already mastered his ability to speak lies with such perfection. He looked stunned and his smile was a little stagnant.

But he quickly reacted, "Oh?" and said, "I wish I had a shallow look, I hope Director Du will give me some advice."

Duan tapped his two fingers on the table with his right hand and said slowly: "Everyone has watched the script, so he should know that the protagonist in the play is the protagonist of an all-weather reality show. So how would I show this as a reality show instead of an ordinary movie?"

His eyes swept over the faces of the few people present, but everyone just looked at him and no one spoke.

They may not know, or they may have some ideas but dare not take their own shortcomings in front of this master, so they simply hid it. After all, no one here thinks that this kind of technical knowledge would be better than Duane.

"It's very simple, two things are enough,"

Seeing that no one answered, Du An continued, "One, the camera. The footage of this movie will be a pseudo-documentary form of the Skynet model. If necessary, I will abandon all camera skills and express them in the simplest way."

He saw the people present flashing doubts in his eyes. He obviously didn't quite understand what the "Skynet model pseudo-documentary form" was, but he did not intend to explain for the time being, so he continued.

"The second point is advertising."

"How can the parties in the film make a profit in such a reality show? Advertising is a very simple, direct and indispensable way. And because of the characteristics of this film, the rigid implantation of advertisements can actually strengthen the authenticity of the film and optimize the effect of the film. So, why do you say that this movie is not commercial?"

After Duane asked this question, he stopped two fingers that had been tapping on the table, and his tone began to rise.

"From the beginning of the video, we started to implant advertisements, all the props involved in Peach Blossom Land, from milk, vegetable oil, shavers, clothes, cars and other household use to shops, banks, bus body advertisements, etc., everything was implanted in advertisements!"

"We can even let actors directly broadcast advertisements in front of the camera. For example, when Truman's wife Lin Lin could ask her to buy a Gillette Weifeng's razor for Truman when Truman's razor is broken, and then forcefully say to the camera, 'If you are a man, use Gillette Weifeng'. When the audience sees this, they will not only not be disgusted, but will think that this is more real, because the play in the play is a reality show."

Duane said this and added, "Of course, this kind of oral broadcasting facing the camera is the most expensive, so if you want to implant it, you can add more money."

Then he continued.

"Think about it, how many scenes will a movie have? How many things will it be used? Even if we are cheaper, it is already terrifying to accumulate less and get more. Especially in the competition at some key positions, I believe it will bring us great benefits."

"A movie like this is very likely to start making profits before it is released. Do you want to tell me that it is not very commercial?"

Du An sneered at Fang Liyong, "Then tell me, what is commercial? "

He saw Fang Liyong pursing his lips tightly, and he was stunned when he saw the three people opposite him.

Xiaopeng, how could the movie still be played like this? (To be continued.)
