In early June, the rough cut of "Unruly Sky" was completed. Duca, Monica and Quentin, who had nothing to do, attended the internal preview of the film.

The protagonists of the movie are two ducks, Mike and Scout.

Mike, played by River, was born into a poor family. He had an unfortunate childhood, suffered from epilepsy, and could fall into coma at any time. When he grew up, he always missed the past and wanted to find his long-lost mother;

Scott, played by Keanu, was born into a wealthy family. His father was the mayor of Portland. In order to humiliate his powerful father, Scott deliberately went to the streets to be a duck.

The two traveled together from Portland via Seattle to Idaho and the Italian countryside. They met many people and things along the way.

Mike likes Scott, but Scott is very normal in orientation and will not like a man.

In the end, the two separated, and Scott took his girlfriend back to Portland. Mike suffered an epileptic fit and fell to the side of the road, and was taken away by passers-by.

Duca had never seen this movie before and had no impression of the plot.

After watching it once, I felt pretty good.

Director Gus Sant's shooting technique is very delicate. The film is full of a sense of alienation, a decisive sadness, and many symbolic techniques. It has the flavor of an art film, a bit like a film directed by Wong Kar-Wai.

There are also two leading actors, River and Keanu Reeves, both of whom gave great performances, especially River's melancholy and lonely temperament, which matches perfectly with Mike in the movie.

It is said that when Ruifan was filming, in order to play the role well, he often chatted with people who were similar to the character, and also personally tried the effects of the product, and he studied the character very deeply.

Bang bang bang~

When the movie ended, everyone clapped their hands.

"Sant, this is a good movie. I like your movies."

Quentin clapped his hands and said excitedly.

"Thank you. There are still some problems with the rough cut version and need to be corrected."

Director Sant said modestly.

"It will be even better once the changes are completed."

Quentin praised several times and pulled Director Sant to discuss the shooting techniques with him. He also said that he was also planning to make a movie of the same type.

Duca shook his head. Quentin was suitable for making movies with black violence and humor. If it were a movie with the same name, he would never invest in it.

"Duka, what do you think?"

Keanu Reeves leaned over and asked.

"It's not bad. You and Ruifan did a good job, especially the ambiguous parts, which made my scalp numb."

"Hey, that's an act, please don't think too much, okay?"

Keanu Reeves frowned.

"I'm not thinking randomly, I just think it's very difficult and challenging to be an actor. You two have worked hard."

"That's pretty much it."

Keanu Reeves laughed.

"Hey, Ruifan, I heard that you tried drugs. How are you now? Are you addicted?"

Duka looked at Ruifan who was silent and asked.

"Yes, I'm pretty good. It was just a small amount at the time and there was no dependence."

Ruifan smiled softly.

"That's good."

Duka nodded, wondering if Ruifan was addicted to drugs, and hoped he wouldn't repeat the same old path.

"Honey, what do you think?"

Dukara asked, holding Monica in her arms.

"I like the Italian countryside part the most, but the other parts are also good."

Monica leaned on his shoulder and smiled.

"Are you homesick?"

"One thing is, I have been away from Italy for more than a year, and I miss the Italian sunshine a little bit."

Monica smiled slightly.

"After the game is over, how about we go to Italy for vacation and stay there for a while?"

"Okay, I will take you to see all the beautiful places in Italy and eat all the delicious food."

Monica waved her hand and said.

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it."

Duca smiled and kissed her.

After the internal test screening, Director Sant and Producer Lori Parker are preparing to fine-tune the film's soundtrack, adjust the saturation, etc. It is expected to be completely completed next month, and it will be able to participate in the Toronto Film Festival in Canada in August.

By the time this movie is released, the company will only have two films left, "Love in My Heart" and "Basic Instinct."

The project of "Love Is Here" was initiated last year, and filming officially started in April. It was completed at the beginning of this month, and post-production will take about one or two months.

Harvey said the movie would be released by November at the latest.

Duca said it didn't matter. The total budget of the movie was 4 million. He invested 1 million, and the profit share was 20% North American box office share + 5% DVD share. Unless the movie's box office could exceed 10 million, it would be difficult for him to recover his capital.

.

"Hey, Duca, I heard that you invested more than 10 million to cooperate with Carlock Films to make pornographic films?"

Harvey asked on the phone.

"Yes, that project is very good."

"Haha~ Duca, you think of movies too simply. There are so many pornographic movies in Hollywood and San Fernando Valley every year. How many of them have a box office of more than 10 million? Definitely not more than two, and you invest tens of millions to shoot that movie.

It's a movie, Duka, and I can only wish you good luck here."

Harvey laughed loudly, as if he was taunting him.

"Thanks!"

Duka curled his lips and didn't care.

"Duka, I have several good projects on hand. Do you want to take a look? They will definitely be more profitable than porn."

Harvey laughed.

"It's probably not possible at this stage. Counting "Love Deep in My Heart", I have invested in three movies this year and I am a bit busy. When these three movies are released, if I don't lose too much, I will consider continuing to invest in other movies.

project."

"Haha, okay, I hope we still have a chance to cooperate."

"There will be!"

Duca hung up the phone.

Duca also understands Harvey's disapproval. For a restricted-level art film like "Basic Instinct", it is difficult to make back the investment if it exceeds 20 million, let alone the investment of this film exceeds 40 million.

If this movie wants to make a profit, the North American box office must be at least 50 million. Taking into account overseas and video results, it can barely break even. If it is lower than this number, it will definitely lose money.

In recent years, in the movie box office rankings, there are very few literary and artistic movies with a box office of more than 50 million.

If Duca hadn't known that the movie was doing well and that it was the original cast, he would have been worried about investing in it.

——

He had nothing to do at the company in the afternoon, so he drove Monica to the set of "Basic Instinct" to have a look. The set was filming an intimate scene between the heroine Catherine and her girlfriend. Sharon Stone and the actor who played the girlfriend were filming passionate scenes in front of the camera.

.

Sharon Stone wore a tight-fitting short skirt, showing off her hot figure, while the other one didn't wear much.

Although there is no exposure, it is still a bit embarrassing to look at.

"Duka, why don't you watch?"

Monica smiled.

"It's quite boring to film a few actions over and over again."

Duca said as he walked.

Monica smiled slightly, "Isn't Sharon Stone very coquettish? Was she that wild when you were together?"

"Why are you talking about this? She didn't have a partner at that time, and I didn't meet you either. Two lonely people got together and went on a few dates. There was nothing else. You don't have to think too much."

Duka held her waist and explained.

"I didn't think much about it, I just wanted to know your preferences through Sharon Stone. If you like wild things, I can also be wild."

Monica smiled.

"Really? Why are you so wild?"

Duca looked at her with interest.

Monica thought for a moment, reached out and brushed her long hair back, raised her two fists, and waved them a few times. At this time, she was wearing a blue shirt and jeans, and she looked very strong with this action.

"How about it, is it wild enough?"

Monica also imitated him and raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, very wild, like a Germanic berserker."

Duka grabbed her fist and smiled,

"Am I beautiful like this?"

Monica raised her face and smiled.

"Fortunately, you are very beautiful to begin with, a little wilder, a little quieter, a little melancholic, a little lively, etc., no matter what, you are beautiful."

"Really? There's something wrong with being with you. You always praise me. You praise me when I'm fat. You praise me when I don't wear makeup. You praise me when I'm too lazy to move. You make it impossible for me to make progress. If I get worse

What should I do if it gets uglier?”

Monica sighed.

"No, you will only become more and more beautiful in my eyes."

Duka kissed her on the red lips.

Monica smiled slightly, very satisfied with his answer.

After the filming of the inner scenes was completed, Duca had a chat with director Paul Verhoeven to hear about the progress of the film and his views.

Paul Verhoeven is a Dutch director. He first became famous for his erotic films, such as "Turkish Orgy" and "Katie the Advocate". His later film "Showgirls" was also good, among which "Turkish Orgy" won the Oscar.

Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.

Last year, he gained a foothold in Hollywood with the commercial action film "Mighty Dragon". He is currently second-tier among directors, but he is very good at photographing women and can make beautiful women look dozens of times more beautiful in front of the camera. This is also a special kind of

ability.

After spending an afternoon on the set, Duca received a call and left the set early.
