"Madam President, it's time to get off work."

Duca walked into Monica's office with two cups of iced coffee.

Monica likes sunny places, so she placed her desk not far from the floor-to-ceiling windows, with her back to the floor-to-ceiling windows. There were three piles of documents piled high on the large mahogany desk.

And Monica was sitting among the piles of documents, wearing a silk blouse and shoulder-length burgundy curls, holding a pen in one hand and a calculator in the other, a little busy.

Seeing him coming in slowly, Monica raised her long eyelashes and took a look.

"Have you finished reading your script?"

"It's over. There's no good script. I can turn it over quickly. What kind of materials do you have here? Why are there so many?"

Duca put down his coffee and smiled.

"You still have the nerve to smile. It's all your fault. During this period, there are movies being finalized and new movie projects being approved. Everyone in the company is very busy, and I was also very busy, but you still want to take me on vacation. Now it's better.

, I had all my work piled up as soon as I came back.”

Monica rolled her eyes coquettishly at him.

"Haha, I'm just playful. Do you need to review these information yourself? Just hand them over to the assistant."

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】

Duca flipped through several documents and said.

"Yes, look, I used to sign one or two contracts a day in the company on average. We were out playing for more than half a month, and it was the busiest month, so I accumulated so much."

Most of these are financial and insurance information for several large projects, cashier's bills, etc.

Each document represents a cashier record of hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. This material is submitted by the Finance, Legal and Production Department and requires her signature for filing.

And she is a more responsible person. She will look at each item one by one before signing and calculate every data. Even though the result is the same, she will feel at ease only if the calculation is clear.

Duka smiled and said, "I remember that during the meeting, we advocated using computers to work, and data and documents should be collected and stored in text as much as possible. Why do they still send so many paper materials? Is this bullying you because you don't know how to use a computer?

"

"Of course not. Using a computer is inconvenient, prone to errors, inconvenient for review, and it can hurt your eyes if you look at it for a long time."

Monica crossed her fingers and blinked.

Duka smiled lightly but did not expose her.

We are now in the early stages of the Internet era, and personal computers are slowly becoming more popular. According to data provided by Microsoft in the first half of the year, 21.61 million desktop computers and 3.42 million laptop computers were sold last year. The price of ordinary computers has also dropped to less than 1,000 US dollars.

Currently, there are a total of 148 million computers in the world used for office or study.

Many large companies have begun to promote office automation. When the company recruits people, those who know computers will be given priority.

LV Pictures also required computer skills for many positions during its recruitment this year.

For employees who cannot use computers, the company encourages them to learn computers and use office software.

Monica didn't know how to use a computer before. After learning, she could only type at a speed of 10 characters per minute. She also didn't know how to use many office software.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to use a computer for work.

The mainstream text editors on the market in 1993 were Word 2.0, Isus Writer, and Excel 4.0a. They had few functions, a poor user experience, and were often stuck. It took him a week to learn it, and then he slowly accepted this backward office.

software.

"Leave the two piles here to me. After reading, let's go sit at the bar."

Duca turned on the computer, sat down and said.

As for Quentin, you can let them wait, since there is nothing serious to do anyway.

He turned on the computer and started working. It took him less than two hours to check a bunch of data. However, after finishing the work, Monica was worried and complained that he was too fast and sloppy and wanted to check again.

Duka was helpless and waited for more than half an hour before pulling Monica, who was still unfinished, out of the office.

Monica's assistant Avila saw the president being taken away and shook her head helplessly. The president was led astray by her boss.

"Duka, why did you come just now? We are ready to leave."

When he walked into the bar, Quentin's catfish face was full of resentment.

"Sorry Quentin, Duca was helping me with the documents just now."

Monica smiled slightly.

"Did you hear that? You still don't believe me when I told you I was working."

Duca smiled and said hello to Tim Roth, Roger Ivory, Uma Thurman, and Samuel L. Jackson.

Everyone present here is the cast and crew of "Pulp Fiction", and they have also taken some time off after the production of the film was completed.

"Duka, when is "Pulp Fiction" scheduled to be released?"

Quentin asked.

"It's only been two months since we finished filming. Why are you so anxious?"

Duca opened two bottles of light beer and handed one to Monica.

"I heard that "Sleepless in Seattle" has higher reviews and will be released before "Pulp Fiction". Is this true?"

Quentin asked rhetorically.

"Don't ask around. "Pulp Fiction" is scheduled to be released in December. It will be released at that time. No one can change it."

"Haha, that's more or less the same. Before the internal preview, those bullshit producers said that "Pulp Fiction" was too messy and brain-burning to watch, so it wasn't suitable for large-scale screening. I think those guys' brains are probably only as big as peanuts."

Quentin mocked coldly.

Duca snorted softly, "Be careful what you say. They are professional filmmakers and have the right to raise different opinions during the test screening. You, the director, should learn to accept and reflect on it instead of ridiculing it."

"Hey, okay, at the Venice Film Festival at the end of August, I'm going to take the film to an exhibition and see if I can win an award. What do you think?"

Quentin laughed.

Duka thought for a moment and nodded.

If you win a small-scale screening at a European film festival and win an award, when it is released, the distributor will invest more publicity funds and arrange for more theater screenings based on the value of the award.

"You have been very busy this year. You went to Italy to have a good few days. I have a villa in Venice for you to live in."

Duca looked at Quentin and Uma Thurman and smiled.

"Okay, but don't get me wrong Duka, Uma and I are just friends."

Quentin scratched his chin and said.

"Yes Duca, we are just friends."

Uma Thurman chuckled.

"Yeah!"

Duca glanced at Quentin with disdain. This guy used to say he liked Uma. He thought about her every day and wanted to get her. After Uma Thurman got divorced, he changed his story and said he was a friend. This guy was clearly trying to catch up and didn't want to be responsible.

The scumbag.

"Duka, look at what I'm doing. Uma and I have discussed it. It's easier for us to be friends than lovers, and there are no restrictions. If you don't believe me, ask Uma."

Quentin argued.

Uma Thurman smiled softly and shrugged her shoulders.

Duka didn't say anything else. This was a private matter between the two of them and he had nothing to do with it.

"Duka, does the company have any new film projects in the second half of the year?"

Tim Roth asked.

He has been in Hollywood for more than three years. In addition to filming "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction", he also acted in five or six other movies. However, except for these two movies, the box office and influence of other movies were average. Tim Roth

He also failed to take advantage of the situation.

"Only one project has been confirmed for the time being."

Duca talked about several LV movies next year. "Speed" and "Legends of Autumn" have already completed their auditions, so there is no need to think about it anymore.

"Casino" hasn't been officially approved yet, and he doesn't know exactly what actors are needed. When the movie is being cast, Tim Roth can give it a try.

"Next year the company will launch a few more dramas and cooperate with Columbia, but there is no suitable script now. I spent half a day in the office reading scripts today before I found one.

If you have any good scripts, please recommend them. If the script is good, LV can invest in it."

Duca said.

"That's a good idea."

Tim Roth laughed.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened, and the bar began to become lively. A few acquaintances came to the booths, including Madonna, Julia Roberts, and Penelope. Everyone drank and chatted, and the atmosphere became more lively.
