Chapter 146: There is only one purpose
As soon as he entered the bar, Duke noticed the woman sitting diagonally opposite, with a pair of clear and melancholy brown-green charming eyes, long curly dark brown hair draped over the shoulders of a V-shaped gray thread shirt, an extremely delicate face and a slender and sexy body, even when sitting, it was extremely eye-catching.
Although she only wears light makeup on her face, which is somewhat different from the image on the screen, and her fame in North America is not even as good as that of a second-rate Hollywood actress, Duke still recognizes it at a glance, after all, the hotel where the crew of "Braveheart" stayed is also near the bar.
"Is that her?" Zack? Schneider asked suddenly.
"Are you interested?" Duke raised an eyebrow at his assistant director, "I always thought you liked men. ”
Zack? Schneider almost squirted out a sip of wine, and said with wide eyes, "Duke, you're slandering!" ”
He turned his head to look over there again, and twisted his head back with difficulty, "Why is this a movie that doesn't have important female characters?" ”
In fact, Duke knows that the members of his team are not fuel-efficient lamps, and in the case of their power and without touching his bottom line, they also seek opportunities for some women to show their faces in movies, but the whole environment is like this, you want others to work hard for you, and you don't give benefits, not to mention Hollywood, a real place, even if it is put into the world's business circles, as long as it is maintained within a moderate range, he will not intervene ↗.
"You're interested in that woman?"
Sophia coming back from the bathroom? Coppola sat next to Duke, Zach? Schneider took a sip of his glass and said, "I don't think there are many men who will be interested in Sophie?" Marceau is not interested! ”
"You can go and give it a try," Sophia encouraged him, "I spent some time in France. I heard that she, like most French women, has always been romantic and bold. ”
"Zach, you're late, someone has passed." Sophia gestured to Duke and the two with her eyes, "Still acquaintances." ”
Although the man in the past had gray hair and a bright head, his muscular body and well-trimmed beard looked extremely attractive. In the age group of sixty or seventy years old, he is definitely the most handsome old man.
See Sean? Connery, Duke's eyes flashed sharply, and while there was no evidence to suggest anything, it was not unrelated to the fact that critics reacted so violently to "Independence Day" at the time.
"Zach, aren't you coming?" Duke asked.
"With Sean? Compared to Connery, my charm ...... "Zach? Schneider shrugged. "Let's change you, Duke, and don't let our enemies snatch the beauty away."
"You two are bored." Sophia's unceremonious sarcasm.
"Don't you think it's a great way to relax?"
Throwing down a sentence, Duke stood up and walked diagonally to the opposite side without hesitation, but what he didn't expect was that Sean over there? After Connery sat down, Sophie? Marceau's expression was a little agitated. He seems to be very unwelcome.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Connelly. I want to be alone for a while. ”
As they approached, Duke heard the two talking.
"Sophie, I just wanted to exchange my thoughts with you about the character."
"It's off-duty time, and our roles don't seem to intersect......"
"Don't be like this, Sophie, haven't you always wanted to go to Hollywood? I can help you! ”
Sophie? Marceau saw Duke walking by. With a question on his face, Sean with his back to Duke? Connelly was still babbling about something......
Duke vs. Sophie? Marceau gave a friendly smile and pulled out a chair and sat down directly next to her.
"My dear, you're so charismatic. I just went to the bathroom......"
His eyes were all on Sophie? Marceau's body, didn't look at Sean who was suddenly stunned? Connery, "Do you need me to chase him away?" ”
Sophie? Marceau looked at Duke with a kind face, and then at Sean on the other side with an angry face? Connery, instead of saying anything, laughed.
"Duke? Rosenberg! "Sean? Connery's words were squeezed out entirely between his teeth.
"Hi Sean, it's been a long time."
Probably in the last few days, I have been talking to Tom a lot? Hanks exchanged roles, Duke felt that his acting skills seemed to have improved a lot, and said with an unchanged face, "I didn't expect you to get out of the whirlpool of public opinion so quickly, it's really gratifying." ”
There was no irony in his words, Sean? Connery's face became even more ugly, "Everyone has bad luck sometimes, and most people in Hollywood like to see those proud and arrogant guys bad luck." ”
"That's true." Duke looked approving, "Fox TV drove the OB truck to your doorstep at that time, it was just too much!" ”
Sean? Connery's hand on the table slowly clenched, and veins protruded from the back of his dry hand......
Turning his head, Duke looked at Sean? Connery, his eyes are gradually turning cold, the other party has created some elderly heroes on the screen, he shouldn't be so confused that he thinks it's the same in reality, right?
Although impulsive, Sean? Connelly was not old and confused, he glanced coldly at Sophie opposite? Marceau, stand up and walk away.
"Will it cause you problems on the crew?"
Judging from the tone and expression alone, Duke really cares about the French beauties around him, "He still has some influence." ”
"It's okay." Sophie? Marceau shook her head, obviously not caring much about Sean? Connelly.
Sean now? Connery, after all, wasn't Shaun a few years ago? Connery is not necessarily comparable to the heroine in the crew.
"Reacquaint yourself." Duke held out his hand, "Duke? Rosenberg, you can call me Duke. ”
The other party shook his hand lightly, "Sophie? Marceau. ”
Seeing two people drinking and chatting diagonally across from each other, Zach? Schneider sighed, picked up the wine glass and drank the wine inside, and shook his head helplessly.
"They're getting to know so quickly."
"Hasn't he always been like that?" Sophia retracted her gaze and slowly sipped her cocktail, "He's good at using it to his advantage. ”
"That's true." Zack? Schneider agreed, "A successful director has the ability to attract any actress." ”
Sophia added, "Especially a successful director like him who still has a good skin." ”
"Looks like I'm going to work on it too." Zack? Schneider seemed to be very impressed.
"Let's go back to the hotel." Sofia? Coppola took his handbag and stood up, "I don't have to wait for Duke." ”
On the other side, Duke and Sophie? Marceau seems to have a good chat, but in fact, except for movies, they can't find any common topics, and even when it comes to movies, the two have very different ideas.
For Sophie? Marceau, Duke's deepest impression, is a typical French woman, bold and bold, daring to take off and dare to show.
Of course, if it is not revealed, it is not European cinema and European movie stars.
"Although my agent persuaded me to take over the role of this French princess." Sophie? Marceau drank nearly a third of the whiskey in his glass, "but I didn't want to follow at first. ”
"Because it's a vase character?" Duke asked tentatively.
"It's on the one hand, and it's because of my family on the other!"
Hearing her words, Duke was a little surprised and blinked, "Family? ”
"You don't know?" Sophie? Marceau squinted her eyes and smiled inexplicably, "I have a husband, and I'm married." ”
"It's the first time I've heard you're married."
Although he had seen this bold personality and rich love history on the Internet, Duke really didn't know that she got married so early, "Your husband must be a man who is envied and jealous by all of Europe." ”
Sophie? Marceau looked at this side, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
Duke smiled and explained, "Can you marry Sophie? Marceau's man, isn't it enviable? ”
This compliment isn't technical, Sophie? Marceau still laughed, but there was a faint sadness in his smile, "Some people don't see it that way. ”
She took her glass and drank the rest of the whiskey in one gulp, and with a surge of wine, she added, "Marriages are sometimes not as happy as they seem. ”
"I absolutely agree with that!"
Beckoning, asking the waiter to bring two glasses of wine, Duke handing it to Sophie? Marceau had a glass and touched her, "So I haven't thought about walking into the cage of marriage until now." ”
He used to be a bachelor, unconcerned, in the first few years of coming to North America, he saw his mother's failed marriage, and entered a circle with the highest divorce rate in the world, it is really difficult to raise any ideas such as marriage.
Marriage is not as simple as registration, it also means responsibility, before getting married, he can chase beautiful women, no one can say anything, once married, it is completely different.
Of course, looking at the entertainment circles in Europe and the United States, it can also be said that it is normal to continue to engage in nonsense after getting married.
"Don't talk about these troubles, drink!"
Picking up his glass, Duke took a sip of whiskey, and next to Sophie? Marceau tilted his head and poured a small half glass of whiskey into his stomach, "Cheers!" ”
Duke simply asked the waiter to bring a whole bottle of wine and poured some into each of the two glasses.
Another glass of wine, Sophie? Marceau, probably in a hurry, covered his mouth and coughed in a low voice, refused the tissue handed by Duke, touched his smooth face, and looked at Duke vigilantly with a little drunkenness.
"Are you trying to get me drunk?"
Spreading his hand, Duke shook his head with an innocent expression, with the amount of alcohol he had, I'm afraid he hasn't drunk Sophie yet? Marceau, she'll get under the table.
"Don't think I can't see it."
Probably a little familiar, Sophie? Marceau didn't speak as subtlely as he had just now, "The man who accosted me and flattered me actually had only one purpose!" What about you, Duke? ”
"No one doesn't like Sophie? Marceau! Duke stared at her with burning eyes. (To be continued......)
