Producer [American Entertainment]

"When other people fall in love, it's basically because the woman is anxious to get married. Why do I have to be forced to marry by my fiancé when it's my turn to fall in love? I really don't understand what's wrong with maintaining the current cohabitation status."

In the end, Wendy, who managed to escape from Roy's eyes, complained to her two friends in the post-production studio afterwards.

At that time, the three of William were supervising the final sound-picture synthesis of the film in the studio. Dolby Laboratories’ consultants were also invited to attend, and conducted a special certification for this operation, proving that all processes complied with the Dolby Digital patent. related requirements.After the sound and picture synthesis is completed, the authorization fee can be delivered to the people at Dolby for settlement.

"Dolby Digital" is a high-quality audio and surround sound technology. It is a patent that must be used for sound and picture synthesis in post-production of movies.

In other words, the producer needs to pay a lot of licensing fees for this, and there is absolutely no way around it.

Of course, the specific costs here are actually quite variable.For example, the authorization fee only for film festival screenings is much cheaper than playing in cinemas; if you need to record DVDs, you need to pay extra.If you have cooperated many times, there will also be friendly prices from VIP customers. This is the importance of personal connections.

"Dolby Digital" was launched many years earlier than Sabatino's impression. It is said that since the beginning of VCD and DVD in the 80s, Dolby Laboratories has developed related technologies.Today it is the most widely used technology in the audio industry worldwide.

However, this monopoly will not last long.

According to Sabatino's reliable news, the patent of DTS (Digital Theater System) has been passed, and it will be available on the market soon, and everyone will have new choices.

And William's friend Lucas is also eager to get a share of the audio technology cake, THX, this is the tentative name of the technology Lucas researched, and has not yet applied for a patent, because there are still some finishing technologies in progress In the final adjustment, his goal is to surpass Dolby and DTS.

The reason why William can know such details is naturally because Lucas invited him to participate.Lucas wants to borrow Sabatino's extensive contacts to get the longest patent application from the patent office as soon as possible, while William wants to save endless patent licensing fees for his future.To be honest, when making my own film, I still need to ask a third party to supervise the sound and picture synthesis. This kind of restriction is not so popular.

The finishing work of the picture part of the film has been completed. Just wait a few days for the sound and picture synthesis to be completed. They have worked hard for more than a year on the film and finally have the final master tape.The executives at United Artists are already very hungry. Since "Because We Are Family" invested by MGM won the Oscar, United Artists has been holding back their energy and wanting to win an Oscar.

Because she was only supervising the production, Wendy finally had the time to chat and share her emotional troubles with friends after work.

Well, being forced into marriage by a high-quality boyfriend who loves her deeply is an annoyance that Wendy only understands, and William and Miguel can't empathize with it no matter what.

MiG said with a vicious tongue: "Do you believe it or not? If you go to the Skype forum to go to 818, you will be scolded as a show off dog in minutes?"

Although Roy's personality is a bit like a villain's male lead, it is undeniable that this villain's male lead is really rich, young and promising, rich and powerful, good-looking, and has a simple family structure. Only one is married The elder brother and sister-in-law, the other party also likes Wendy very much, the most important thing is that Roy loves Wendy deeply, and wishes to marry her immediately and have seventeen or eight children...

"What else do you want?" MiG looked helplessly and asked Wendy.

"Are you saying that the final destination of a woman is to stay at home and raise children?" Wendy's expression immediately became unkind, which is something she must explode.

As a half-feminist, Wendy is not as radical as many powerful women, but she absolutely can't stand people telling her that women should be husbands and children.

She loves children, yes, and she loves taking care of them, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have other options.

"Of course I didn't mean that. Lowe is very supportive of your work, isn't he? Whether it's before or after marriage, nothing will change between you, except for an unforgettable wedding and a piece of paper with legal effect." .If you didn't sign a prenuptial agreement, then you will get half of his property after divorce." Miguel sincerely thinks that Roy is a good marriage partner, "He loves you, you love him, I really don't understand What are you still hesitating about?"

"I'm hesitating that you guys aren't married yet, you idiots!" Wendy finally couldn't help but say what was on her mind. To be honest, even Wendy found it a little unbelievable that she was able to hide her thoughts for so long.

MiG and William were taken aback for a moment, then looked at Wendy at the same time.

Wendy, who had long curly hair, lowered her head, using the ends of her hair to cover her embarrassed face: "If I'm the only one getting married, I'll always feel like an asshole."

If MiG and William are heterosexuals who can get married in minutes, then even if they don't have a stable lover now, Wendy will get married without hesitation, and run to "the prince and princess happy life from now on" with Roy. Together" bright future.Because she knew that sooner or later her friends would get married too, if they wanted to.

But the problem now is that no matter whether MiG and William want it or not, homosexuals cannot get married, and no country in the world will allow gays to marry.In some underdeveloped countries, homosexuality has not even been removed from the list of mental illnesses.

Let me ask, facing such a situation, how can Wendy get married with peace of mind?

"That always made me feel like I left you, or was left behind by you." When I grow up, many things can't be as simple as when I was a child, even friendship.Married and not married, with children and without children, will really form completely different circles. Even if we barely get together, some people will always feel lost or unexpected.

The relevant plots in movies and TV series are not groundless, but the cruel reality.

"I don't want to lose you all." Wendy knew that thinking like this was a bit unfounded, but she just couldn't control it.

"Hey, girl, how is this possible?" MiG and William sat next to Wendy, one on the left and one on the right, trying their best to comfort Wendy who was a little emotionally unstable.

"Homosexuals are not allowed to get married now, but sooner or later they will be able to." Miguel shrugged optimistically, "It's like many years ago, you can't imagine that women can leave the family and have the freedom to work for themselves , isn't it? But look at yours now. Society is always improving. I believe that when gay marriage is allowed, I will find someone to marry with me."

William shook his index finger in front of Wendy's eyes, and said with a natural expression: "I'm already married."

"You're obviously engaged, okay?" Wendy and MiG said in unison this time.

"For me and Saba, from the moment we promised to be with each other, we were married because we will always be together. Engagement is just one more ring. What can marriage do? But still A ring."

Although what William said was very sincere, MiG and Wendy still inexplicably felt that they were caught off guard and were unconsciously shown affection by William.

"So, go get married boldly, don't worry about us, you are so worried before you have a baby, what will you do in the future?" MiG asked you teasingly.

"Bah!" Wendy stepped forward, dumbfounded, ready to fight MiG for [-] rounds regardless of her image, "You'd better find a regular partner before my child is born, otherwise I will really start worrying Let me introduce you to someone. You know, married women generally have a hobby of being cupids."

"..."

"Speaking of which, when you attend my wedding, you should bring a companion," Wendy thought, once she realized that one problem was particularly serious, "it doesn't matter who you bring."

Wendy obviously meant something.It was reported in the newspaper that Ayrton flew from New York to Los Angeles on purpose just to have a brunch with MiG.

"I thought you were going to invite me and William to be your bridesmaids." MiG changed the subject not so cleverly.

"I also have female friends and distant cousins, okay? Of course, you don't even want to run away." When Wendy thought about the trivial matters of preparing for the wedding, she felt an urge to run away.

"There is something called a wedding planning company in this world." William said in a persuasive manner, "I can ask you the most expensive and best one."

Again, all problems that can be solved with money are nothing to William.

"I hate the ugly face of a local tycoon throwing checks like you the most, and the heart is the most important thing!" Wendy was arrogant once in a while, to cover up her unavoidable shyness when she mentioned the wedding (ω).

"It means you don't need me to hire a wedding planning company for you?" William raised his eyebrows.

"...My lord, my lord, sometimes spending money also represents a kind of heart." The wedding money needs to be paid by the woman, which is a tradition, but Wendy has just experienced the economic crisis, and the landlord's family has no surplus food.What's more, with the excited appearance of Roy and her father, she must be extravagant, and she must be able to save money.

"Do you think it's better for the wedding planner to hire a man or a woman?" MiG was a little distracted.

"Female, so that we can understand Wendy's needs." William said, is there anyone who understands women better than women?

"My adoptive mother used to have a friend who found out after she got married that her husband hooked up with the wedding planner she hired." Before MiG came out of the closet, he had a good relationship with his adoptive parents, but only later...

"We can hire an ugly one." William insisted, "Men are too careless."

"Can I sue you for gender discrimination?" MiG opened his eyes. Generally, machismo looks down on men, but William is the opposite. Many times he prefers to hire female employees, not to take advantage, but to I think women are more patient and careful.

Wendy, who was completely marginalized, was speechless and asked the heavens why she was surrounded by men who were so enthusiastic about weddings?Her fiancé, her father, her two gay friends, who is the bride!

In the end, after going round and round, William and Miguel took a step back, and the wedding planner invited a gay woman, who was the live-in boyfriend of Pepe, the make-up artist of the film crew.

"How should two gay girls fall in love?" Wendy couldn't help asking a question from the depths of her soul.

"Actually, they're not such a bitch in private." Miguel replied, he's been to Pepe's house many times to see a big guy who picks his feet, and he's as disillusioned as he wants.

"Then why are you acting so...?" Wendy was taken aback.

"Professional needs." MiG awakened the dreamer.

Wendy and William were thoughtful, and then nodded together, really, a makeup artist, wedding planner, etc., when you meet a gay girl who looks very excited, you always feel that the other party must be very professional and discerning look.

The newly appointed wedding planner was very professional and asked a sharp question right away: "Where's the groom?"

"..." Damn it, I forgot to inform the groom, Wendy, that she has decided to get married, what a shame.
