"...This is the third version of the alien creature, codenamed c8, and its main design comes from some insects. For example, the inspiration for the tentacle on his head comes from the celestial beetle..."

Du An sat in his seat and looked at the computer screen in front of him. There was a three-dimensional pattern that could be described as a "monster". Li Mingyuan, who was explaining next to him, twisting the pattern over and displaying the model 360 degrees in all directions.

After Duan met Xie Jin last night, he rushed to Industrial Light and Magic today to check the progress of post-production.

When Li Mingyuan explained the model in front of him almost all, Du An spoke, "I personally prefer the previous c5 and c8 lights that were disgusting, not scary enough, and the visual effect was not strong enough. Of course, what I like the most is the concept of c5's biological armor, which is very cool."

"There are also good c3, c3 and c5, you all make a model and I'll take a look. After all, this thing cannot be viewed only on the screen, so it's more satisfying to be implemented in reality."

Li Mingyuan silently wrote it down and nodded, "Okay."

After saying this, Du An turned his glasses away from the computer screen, looked at Li Mingyuan, and asked, "How is the other work going besides this?"

Li Mingyuan stopped the mouse, stood aside with his chest in his arms, looked at the man sitting on his chair in front of him, and reported: "Based on the image data and renderings you sent back before, the production work has begun, and the rest is a matter of time. After all, the project volume is a bit large and it is impossible to hurry."

Du An was about to speak when someone knocked on the door. After Li Mingyuan shouted "Come in", his female secretary pushed open the door with a tray and came in, then put two cups of coffee and went out again.

Du An stopped sitting, stood up and walked to the reception sofa with Li Mingyuan to sit down, picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip, and said, "You can't be anxious, quality is the first priority, it doesn't matter if you spend more time."

Li Mingyuan nodded, wondering what he thought of, suddenly smiled, and the calm style of painting just now could not be maintained. A middle-aged man in his forties acted like a young young man who saw a beautiful woman. He looked a little excited and asked, "Mr. Du, Xie Jin has also been involved in this movie?"

Duane glanced at him without showing surprise, "Do you know?"

Li Mingyuan said "Hi" and said, "How can you not know? The photos of Xie Jin watching the monitor on the set are revealed."

Duane didn't say anything.

As a big production with an investment of "400 million", the confidentiality work during the filming of "Liberation Day" was done very well. Although various media have issued "huge" leaked fees in private and failed to get an exposure photo on the set, why did the photos leak this time?

This is of course the material Duane deliberately puts on.

It is precisely because of the absence of relevant news that this information is so precious, not to mention that the person in the photo is actually Xie Jin, which makes this information even more explosive.

"Zhang Yi, Huang Jianxin, Xie Jin, and Mr. Du, beloved, this video is amazing!"

Li Mingyuan was striking while counting the names of people while stuttering, and his expression became more and more excited. "Originally, this director team lineup was luxurious enough, but now Xie Jin is here to get another shot, which is a sudden explosion. Mr. Du, if you haven't read the newspaper in the past two days, you may not know. Now the news has been slaughtered in the media, and you can see it anywhere, which can be called the front page headlines in the past two days."

"In addition, there is an investment of 400 million yuan and the background of China Film Academy, we will definitely get good schedules and high-quality and huge screening channels. Such a movie is actually the special effects of us. I didn't dare to think about it before..."

Duane took his words, "That's why you should do your best and do your best. In that case, this year's Huabiao Awards will not be able to catch up, but next year's Huabiao Awards may be able to stand up again."

Li Mingyuan shook his head, "Just get the Huabiao Award, I'd better get it. What I hope more now is to start the business." He smiled bitterly at this point.

Duane remembered the financial situation he had just reported to him and was silent for a moment.

Industrial Light and Magic just won the Best Special Effects Award at the Huabiao Awards last year with "Terminator", which has indeed played a certain role in improving the company's business, but the effect is far less than they expected. Originally, there are special effects companies that just won the Best Special Effects Award in the Huabiao Awards and declared bankruptcy. This industry is not a single award that can definitely bring commercial success.

The company's internal management, cost control, business negotiation, business contact capabilities, interpersonal relationships in the circle, etc., each of them affects the company's profitability, and the technical level is just one of them - unless the technical level is strong enough to surpass the era, the success of a company will be more important than other aspects.

In general, the current profitability of Industrial Light and Magic is still too weak, and it still needs to be relied on and cannot be used as a separate profit growth point.

"Take it slow."

Duan comforted her.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was knocked again.

Li Mingyuan glanced at the direction of the door and said, "Please come in", and then his secretary came in again.

"What's up?"

"A reporter from Nanyang Morning Post came to the front desk and said he wanted to interview Director Duane."

The female secretary said, and glanced at Du An.

This sense of smell is really keen, and I smell it so quickly.

Li Mingyuan didn't dare to make a decision, so he looked at Du An. Du An picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, put it down, and said, "You just said I won't accept an interview."

The female secretary nodded, "I understand, then I'll go out first." After that, she stepped out and closed the door.

After the female secretary went out, Li Mingyuan asked in confusion: "Why don't you accept an interview? After that photo came out, everyone is now speculating whether Xie Jin has joined the crew of "Liberation Day". Mr. Du, you are here to do an interview and announce Xie Jin's joining. Will it be possible to start another wave of publicity?"

Duane shook his head, "It's better if I don't show up now."

After he finished speaking, he was stunned when he saw Li Mingyuan's expression, so he sighed in his heart: This is really a typical technical leader, and he will be stunned for a moment in this kind of thing. But forget it, technical leaders also have advantages and disadvantages, each with its pros and cons.

After all, Li Mingyuan was not a fool. After a few turns, his expression gradually loosened, as if he understood.

He nodded in agreement, and then asked, "But you can hide today, how can you hide in the next few days?"

"How many days in the future?"

Duane smiled, "If they can find me like today in the next few days, they will be very capable."

Li Mingyuan smelled a little and asked, "Why, are you going out again? Where are you going?"

Du An nodded and shook his head again, "Go to Shanghai first. I don't know where I will go next. I expect that I will not be in Nanyang for at least one month, so if you have any questions, you can raise them as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to video conference in the future."

Li Mingyuan looked at him for a while, and did not move. After a long time, he sighed: "Other people only see the scenery on your stage, but how many people can see your hard work in the stage? He just came back from work and was going on a business trip. Fortunately, you are still a young man. I wouldn't be able to bear it if you were an old man." After saying that, he also gave him a concern, "Be careful, you can't make enough money, and you should find a chance to take a good rest."

"I will."

Duane responded this, but was immediately amused by his answer: when he was filming "Terminator", he was thinking about having a good rest, but the truth was getting busier and busier.

"By the way, what are you doing in Shanghai?"

Li Mingyuan asked again while he was free.

Duane thought for a while and said, "Go and buy a house."
