Readx;?Top Recommendation:、、、、、、、

In a mansion in Beverly Hills, Megan? Ellison took the invitation from Warner Bros., sat down on a brand new wicker chair, opened it, and looked at it curiously. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Are you going, David?" She asked her brother.

David? Ellison reached for the invitation and said with a bit of smugness, "Why don't you go?" ”

"Don't you hate Duke? Rosenberg? "Megan? Ellison said.

"So, I have to go." David? Ellison rightfully said, "I'd love to see after the box office failure, Duke? What will Rosenberg's face be, will he look like that disgusting Roger? Albert is just as ugly. ”

Megan? Ellison had just taken a sip of his water glass, and he almost didn't squirt out when he heard this, but thinking of the rumors he heard after entering the USC Film School, he couldn't help but say, "It's really disgusting to be so narrow-minded that I was almost to death." ”

Even if she has just set foot in the film industry, she also looks down on those professional film critics who want to sell themselves for a high price and pretend to be very pure and high.

"I don't just want to see Duke? Rosenberg's joke. "David? Ellison's face rarely showed a bit of seriousness, "According to my estimates, some of the projects he holds in his hands are very valuable for investment, but under the premise of his continuous success, I have no chance to get involved at all, only by breaking his so-called success myth, Marvel, DC and Warner, it is possible to accept my investment." ”

What does he do with Duke? Rosenberg went to war, not only to breathe a sigh of relief, but also to hide the real interests behind it.

"I think you should throw a party after the tickets for the opening weekend of Batman: Time to War are out, and then put Duke? Rosenberg invited to come ......"

Speaking of which, Megan? Ellison asked. "What is their estimate for the first week of the film?"

"Warner's estimate is $45 million!" David? Ellison curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "The pre-sale is $25 million, but Annie? After Hathaway's incident became bigger, it was impossible to achieve this goal. ”

"You're doing a beautiful job." Megan? Ellison gave a rare compliment.

David? Ellison was a little smug, "The media in North America is also a commercial company. How could they go against money. ”

As long as you are willing to throw money, there is no bottom line at all when there is a lot of multimedia splashing dirty water.

Although the personality is inherited from Larry? Ellison's hubris, but David? Ellison is well aware of what his greatest capital is in the relatively unfamiliar world of film and media.

"That's right." Megan? Ellison agreed, "The problems that money can solve are not problems. ”

David? Ellison nodded, "The current expenses are all for the future harvest." ”

The brother and sister said a few more words. Megan? Ellison asked, "I remember that the guests invited to the premiere could bring a male or female companion, so I'll go with you." ”

"You're going?" David? Ellison was a little weird.

Megan? Ellison put down his coffee cup and said, "I want to be in the film industry too, and don't forget, I'm already in USC Film School, and I'm old enough to get a trust fund." I would also invest in Hollywood. ”

Hesitate a little, David? Ellison nodded slowly. "Then let's go together."

There is only one day before the premiere, and the entertainment media and entertainment reporters of major media in the United States have gathered in Chicago to attend the premiere of "Batman: Time to War", and the guests have also arrived.

Many of them are old friends of Duke, such as Erin? Lauder.

"What is this?"

Welcome your friends into the living room of your hotel suite. Seeing the gift box she handed over, Duke couldn't help but be a little strange, "When have you been so polite to me?" ”

The two, like most good friends, occasionally exchange gifts, but Irene? Lauder had given it to him before. Basically, it is a men's product from her eponymous series, and this gift box is extremely beautiful, and the contents are bound to be worth a lot of money.

In particular, Duke felt that this gift box was quite familiar.

Erin? Lauder slipped the gift box into Duke's hand and sat down on the single couch before explaining, "I'm from Los Angeles, and I met Ivanka before I came?" Trump, this is what she asked me to pass on to you. ”

Hearing Erin's words, Duke roughly thought of what it was, sat down across from her, opened the gift box, and as he guessed, inside was a Patek Philippe Haute Couture watch, and from any angle, you could see Ivanka's facial outline on the dial.

It was Duke's gift to Ivanka for her twenty-one-year-old bar mitzvah.

The thing returned to his hand, the meaning was very clear, Duke shook his head slightly, not surprised, closed the gift box, and handed it to Tina next to him? Phenanthrene.

"Find an auction and sell it." Duke said bluntly, "The money goes to the hungry children in Africa. ”

Tina? Fei took the gift box, opened it and looked at it, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Is she with Ivanka? Trump is a good friend, but her code of conduct is entirely based on Duque's position.

See Tina? Fei put away the gift box, and for some reason, Duke suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and some of the problems that had plagued him for more than a year also disappeared.

This is a modern society, and the division and integration between men and women has long been part of the social formation.

"You're single again."

Hear Irene? Lauder's words, Duke also replied, "Don't talk about me, aren't you also single." ”

"I'm busy with work." Erin? Lauder shrugged her shoulders and said, "I've just gone through the most important start of my career, and I've been pretty much a trapeze artist all these years, where do I have time to fall in love." ”

Duke spread his hands, "I'm busy, too." ”

Erin? Lauder looked at him, adjusted to a more comfortable sitting position, and said, "For people like us, the cost of romance is too high. ”

After a moment's thought, Duke nodded approvingly, "That's true." ”

Whether it's Duke's career as a director, or Erin? As a Lauder businessman, time is a career, and time is money.

"I've seen your plans, and your future is full of work." Erin? Lauder added, "Thankfully, I'm past my busiest stage and haven't had to fly around as much in recent years." ”

"I can't help it." Duke said helplessly, "Even if I have a mature team, sufficient funds and manpower, it will take a year to make a film, and time is always not enough for me." ”

He wants to shoot two or three films a year, as rumored, and edit a movie in ten days or even a week, but is that possible? Is that still a movie?

In that case, the work he directed will only become some unsightly garbage.

If it weren't for the experience he had in the past, he wouldn't even be able to reach the current rate of one a year.

Hollywood films, especially productions with large investments, have their inevitable rules, and a lot of work in filming and producing movies cannot be done by a single director.

Talk a little more, Erin? Lauder got up to say goodbye, and when Duke dropped her off at the door, he casually asked, "Walk the red carpet with me tomorrow?" ”

"Not interested." Erin? Lauder shook her head directly, "I don't want to have an affair with you." ”

"Good night, get some rest."

She waved her hand to Duke and walked out, Duke closed the door and returned to the room to take a shower and sleep, when the phone rang suddenly, and it was Scarlett when she picked it up? Johnson.

"Hi, Duke." There was some confusion on her side, "I just got off the plane." ”

I don't think I invited her, right?

Thinking about it for a moment, Dukla opened the door and turned to Tina? Fei walked to the study where he was, and said, "You wait a while, I'll arrange for someone to pick you up." ”

Entering the study, Duke gave the phone to Tina? Faye, by the way, throw that problem girl to her to deal with.

Not only the invited guests, but many fans also rushed to Chicago, because "Batman: Time to War" adopted a relatively conservative distribution strategy and did not advance the screening, although there were many accidents before, but for fans of Duke and Batman, it is still a blessing to see this film as soon as possible.

As a staunch Duke-esque fan, Norman? Shearer didn't put Anne at all? Hathaway took it to heart, the other party was just a little actor, even if she got AIDS nonsense, what did it matter to those of them who like Duke movies?

He missed the test screening for various reasons, this time rushing from Los Angeles to Chicago just because "Batman: Time to War" was Duke? Rosenberg's film!

Unlike it, Brad? Miller wasn't a Duke fan or even a movie lover before, but the Lord of the Rings trilogy changed all that, making him so interested in every Duke film that he took a break from his job and flew to Chicago to watch the film in advance.

He always believed that Duke would not disappoint fans who liked him, just as he did in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Anthony is a standard Batman fan, and he had already seen the film's test screenings, and even then, he made the long way to Chicago because he felt that "Batman: Time to War" was the best Batman movie of all time, a masterpiece that would make people come to Chicago willingly.

As a fan of Batman, I don't even support such a wonderful Batman movie, so what kind of movie do you want to support?

This is the first time Duke has held a premiere in Illinois, and when the midday sun just casts overhead, many fans are flocking to the Chicago Classic Theater for the film's premiere.

The clamor of fans and the click of media reporters pressing the shutter of their cameras have drifted through the high-rise buildings between cities to every corner of the city before the premiere.

On this day, the protagonist of the city of Chicago is no longer the Chicago Bruins, but a giant humanoid bat! (To be continued......)
