DreamWorks conference room.
This was the company's Q3 performance report and summary meeting. Because of "The Swordsman", the financial report was naturally extremely impressive, and everyone's face was full of glory.
However, Lu Hao, who was sitting in the main seat, seemed a little absent-minded, with an inexplicable smile on his face from time to time.
What is he laughing at?
Are you happy?
Or is it ridicule?
In short, it feels a bit weird.
It doesn't seem to be because of work.
"Mr. Lu?"
"Mr. Lu?"
Wang Hui couldn't help but gently remind him, feeling that Lu Hao was too distracted and couldn't even suppress the smile on his face. He probably didn't even hear clearly the problem she had just reported.
When Lu Hao heard someone calling his name, he suddenly came to his senses. He coughed dryly, picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.
"Sorry, I just remembered something happy."
As he said this, he couldn't help laughing out loud again.
Wang Hui: ???
Other people in the office: ???
Everyone was confused.
What's going on?
Although Lu Hao is young, only twenty-five years old, he has always been very mature and steady in the company and rarely shows emotionality, especially in such an important meeting.
How happy do you have to be to be this happy?
"What's the happy news?"
Wang Hui asked subconsciously. Since the leader said so, she had to continue.
"My wife is going to have twins."
Lu Hao still spoke with a smile, as if his funny point was hit, he couldn't stop and couldn't hold it in.
There was an eerie silence in the office.
Wang Hui was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help laughing softly. She had been working with Lu Hao for more than two years, and this was the first time she found her boss inexplicably cute.
The solemn atmosphere in the conference room was swept away, and it suddenly became funny and cheerful.
In fact, there are not many older employees in DreamWorks. Except for a few vice presidents of channels and public relations departments, basically all those engaged in creative work are young people with a relatively young mentality.
Especially those who are married and have children, they all congratulated with a smile.
For a while.
The atmosphere returned to normal.
"Okay, where were we just now? Let's continue."
Lu Hao came back to his senses and brought the meeting back on track, but there was still a smile on his face, and he looked very relaxed.
There is nothing more satisfying than this in life.
Family happiness.
Career is going well.
"It's like this, Mr. Lu. We've held a number of department meetings recently, and according to our marketing department's research, we've discovered that under the influence of 'The Swordsman,' there will definitely be a surge in similarly themed films. Many of our peers have already started filming, following suit."
"The thematic elements of this type of film are a mysterious biological community, an urban setting, and a romantic relationship."
"The production department has proposed that several more similar films could be produced at this time, either as part of our film universe or as standalone films."
The head of the production department said in a deep voice, reporting the previous topic again.
The phenomenon of following trends exists in any field of artistic creation, whether it is movies, TV series or novels. After all, there are only a few pioneers, and the market gap is so large.
If you don't do it, others will naturally do it.
So instead of letting others get the advantage, it’s better to do it yourself.
"Um……"
Hearing this idea, Lu Hao hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and nodded.
Xiao Meng is pregnant now, and actually she doesn’t want to spend too much energy on work. However, at this moment, a movie subconsciously pops up in her mind.
"The Mermaid".
Stephen Chow's classic movies.
This thought came to me because of what I just said casually, but now that I think about it, it is surprisingly appropriate.
First of all, the character of the protagonist is exactly the same as that in "The Swordsman", both of them are billionaires.
Secondly, the background of the story, the mermaid community, can also be perfectly incorporated into the setting of "alien races in the small world".
Thirdly, this movie is truly a classic. Even with my current level, it is a very fulfilling thing to be able to make such a movie.
"Okay. That's settled then."
"Uh... Mermaid, that's the theme I just thought of. I've almost finished the script too. I'll show it to everyone this afternoon."
"Hurry up and get the project off the ground. I've been busy lately, so I won't be the director anymore. I'll just be the producer."
Lu Hao said casually.
The huge conference room fell into silence again.
Is it so casual?
Or, has Mr. Lu already had such a story in his mind?
"Mr. Lu, could you... well, I mean, if it's appropriate, could you first give us a brief outline of the story so that everyone can understand it better?"
After all, I am still a little curious and confused.
"Okay, then I'll just briefly explain."
There are no outsiders present, so it’s okay to introduce them, Lu Hao said, standing up, pulling out a small blackboard, and drawing the story line.
"It begins with a land reclamation project. The protagonist, Liu Xuan, is a real estate tycoon, a bachelor, and arrogant. He bought a piece of reclaimed land from a group of competitors and planned to build a real estate project."
"But beneath this ocean lies a pod of dolphins, and even deeper still, a pod of mermaids. The hero uses a powerful underwater sonar to drive the marine life away. To protect their own territory, the mermaids send out the innocent mermaid princess, Shanshan, to carry out their assassination plan against Liu Xuan."
