Merset Palace is crowded with people, several times more lively than during London Fashion Week, and there are only a very small number of people who are enthusiastic about the fashion industry in front of this fashion mecca, and movie fans, book fans and star chasers make up the main body of the audience, because too many stars have passed the red carpet.

This annual show of Victoria's Secret is much more lively and prosperous than before, and celebrities in the United Kingdom and the United States seem to regard this place as the queen's feast and rush to come.

Leonardo? DiCaprio, Brad? Pete and Jennifer? Aniston, Liam? Neeson and his family, Tom? Cruise and Nicole? Mr. and Mrs. Kidman, David? Mr. and Mrs. Beckham......

As one of the heaviest guests, Duke came late, but he walked extremely fast, almost chasing Tom? Mr. and Mrs. Cruise walked into the interview area behind.

In Nicole? Kidman's eye prompts, Tom? Cruise sincerely gave up the interview position to Duke and waited for him at the entrance to Merset Palace.

"In the official notice of Victoria's Secret, it was claimed that the design of this catwalk was inspired by Tolkien's works, what do you think?"

Fleet Street reporters nearly surrounded Duke.

"Sorry, I don't know much about fashion."

While he didn't like the people from Fleet Street, Duke knew what to say, "Tolkien was a great writer, and his writing was absolutely great, and the descriptions of the strange races of Middle-earth were really reminiscent of the costumes. ”

A world-renowned American director, so praised a British writer, was on Fleet Street's appetite that someone immediately asked, "Director Rosenberg, what do you think of Mr. Tolkien?" ”

"He's a great writer. He is the father of modern fantasy literature, he not only changed literature, but also influenced the development of the film industry, many of Hollywood's great epic films, have traces of his literary works, and now he has the opportunity to make the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy into a movie. I am deeply honored ......"

Then, Duke turned the subject to the movie, and did not hesitate to advocate for himself, but at the same time, he must pull out Tolkien's tiger skin.

After the interview, Duke walked out of the interview area and came to the entrance of Merset Palace, where he found Tom? The Crews are still waiting for him here.

"Congratulations, Tom."

"Congratulations!" Tom? Cruise holding Nicole? Kidman. Walking beside Duke, "our collaboration has been a great success once again!" ”

"yes." Duke doesn't stop.

What they are talking about is "Mission Impossible 2", which basically rolled off the global market, and the global box office has reached a total of 558.9 million US dollars. Cruise's highest box office record since the film also made him one of Hollywood's top business superstars.

The film was a big hit, and Duke was of course happy, after all, he enjoyed a third of the film's revenue share. And with his current status and status, he has the ability to supervise the entire operation of the film. I'm not afraid of the issuing company.

He is neither a small director nor a vampire outside the circle who does not understand the rules of the game after investing money.

While chatting about "The Lord of the Rings" and "Mission Impossible 2", the three of them walked into the large exhibition hall of Merset Palace, their seats were in the front row, as if they wanted to show the intimacy of their relationship, Tom? Krusti vs. Ilya? Wood and the others changed seats. Sitting with Duke.

In the chat, compared to the high-spirited Tom? Cruise, Nicole? Kidman, on the other hand, was a little depressed.

"Mary, although I'm not good at literary works."

After a few words with her, Duke roughly understood why. Now that he and Mr. and Mrs. Cruise are on their honeymoon, he said a few words of relief, "But I think 'Island Cry' is definitely an excellent work, and your performance deserves to be recognized." ”

"It's a pity...... "Nicole?" Kidman shook his head.

Tom? Cruise immediately shook her hand comfortingly, "Don't be discouraged, dear, there will always be a chance." ”

"Mary, Tom is right, your acting skills have improved tremendously."

For some reason, Duke always felt that the couple was moving in the opposite direction of their previous life, "If you meet the right character, you will definitely be able to show all the brilliance." ”

What if Tom? The Crews are not divorced, Nicole? Kidman has less sympathy points, can he win the Oscar for Best Actress? No one can say for sure.

However, the negative impact on the box office side has already appeared.

"Island Cry" can be said to be Nicole? Kidman's most commercially successful work, Duke has some impressions as if the North American box office exceeded $100 million, but the film released last year grossed less than $50 million in North America, and her unpopular nature in the North American market can be seen.

Although the film will definitely be profitable due to its extremely low investment and a fairly good relationship with the overseas box office, but with Nicole? Compared with Kidman's huge reputation and high salary, her return on investment is simply pitiful.

"Hi, Tom."

"Hi David."

Before the catwalk began, another famous couple came over to say hello.

Subsequently, Tom? Cruise also introduced Duke to him.

"David, this is director Rosenberg. Duke, this is David? David Beckham, a famous football star; This is Victoria? David Beckham, a famous singer. ”

Duke shook hands with the equally world-famous couple, who had no intention of getting involved in football, just getting to know each other, and he and Victoria? Beckham pretended to meet for the first time with great tacit understanding.

Just like Duke said, he is not a good person, and he has nothing to do with righteous people and gentlemen, but he also has his own bottom line, and he never thought of destroying other people's families.

Him and Victoria? Beckham is just an extremely ordinary time for the two of them to hunt for the best.

But what Duke didn't expect was that Victoria? When Beckham shook hands with him, he quietly stuffed a small note.

However, Duke didn't look at it and handed it directly to Tina next to him? Fei, the female assistant was thrown into the trash.

What is written in the note, Duke doesn't know and doesn't want to know, is he with Victoria? David Beckham, just overnight. Feeling.

What's more, he is with Alessandra? Ambrosio made an appointment, and after the catwalk, they spent two days in London together.

The catwalk, which will be broadcast by Sky and NBC to Europe and North America respectively, and both The Lord of the Rings and Victoria's Secret have invested a lot of resources, especially in the design of costumes and stages, which are full of magical exoticism, exquisite and elegant, not like the masterpieces of art in this world.

If it is another runway catwalk, the stage design is in the style of Roslorian's elves, which will definitely look extremely abrupt, but Victoria's Secret's angel catwalk will never be bound by the inherent style, not only the angel model will not be nervous with a face, but even the runway has always been arranged like a dream.

The theme of the catwalk was the Angel Elf Show, although there was nothing directly related to "The Lord of the Rings", but the super show the year before was huge, and when the models wore pale green, moss and crimson as the main colors, and various leaves and plants as the pattern** walked on the runway, it immediately evoked people's associations.

In particular, in order to set off the holy side of the elves, all the angel models wore a layer of translucent gauze on the outside, which is also in line with the clothing style of the elves in the film.

As long as anyone who has seen the Victoria's Secret catwalk knows that although it is a **catwalk, the angels of Victoria's Secret rarely only wear a dry ** appearance, so all kinds of elf-related jewelry and even some exquisite utensils have become decorations on their bodies or hands.

Like Adriana? Lima took the form of an elven maid and walked up to the runway with an elven wooden bottle in her hand......

Similar things are happening one after another, and these practices that would be unbalanced on ordinary fashion shows have been carefully designed by the designers of the Lord of the Rings and Victoria's Secret, and the rich expressions of the stage and angels are not only not abrupt, but particularly eye-catching.

In terms of performers, Victoria's Secret accepted Duke's proposal and invited the famous Irish singer Enya, who sang a poem in Tolkien's book in praise of the elves in English and Quenya respectively, and the composer for the poem was naturally Howard, the soundtrack of the film? Resemble.

"Rebecca, I don't understand ......"

At the exit of the runway, Luo Li, the president of the Victoria's Secret store? Greile watched the company's models take on the stage one after another, and asked, slightly puzzled, "I don't understand why we should cooperate with Duke?" Even if he is the largest individual shareholder of the company, he has no authority to ask us to do so. ”

"He really doesn't have that power." Rebecca? Finn first chimed in, then added, "But don't forget the influence of his work, if The Fellowship of the Ring can achieve the same results as The Matrix, the influence will be infinitely expanded, and our elven costumes and accessories will ......."

Speaking of which, she looked at Lori? Greile, the latter nodded knowingly, and the moment she thought about it, she seemed to see farther away, "This is still a trilogy, if the film can be a big hit, the sales of our products will inevitably increase in the next few years." ”

As the two said, Viccican's cooperation with Duke can expect future profits!

For this reason, they even made certain changes, accepting Duke's Jianyì, so that Alessandro, who played the heaviest role in "The Lord of the Rings"? Ambrosio made his final appearance as a model for the finale.

She was wearing a nightgown as thin as a cicada's wings, the nightgown had the typical characteristics of Arwen's clothing, and the translucent silk veil was also decorated with fine gems, which reflected the stars under the light, just like the original meaning of Arco's name - Twilight Star!

This dressing gown made of Indian silk yarn with diamonds, emeralds and Ceylon gemstones is named Twilight!

Victoria's Secret has a whopping $8 million price tag for it! (To be continued......)
