As he got out of the black Bentley and walked towards Tom Cruise's mansion, Duke found that the road where the Hearst estate was located was full of luxury cars, Bentley, Audi and Cadillac were just entry-level stores, and those global limited edition supercars were so many that they could drive car lovers crazy.
"There is competition among the big-name stars." Naomi Watts, who was holding his arm, suddenly said, "But at the level of Tom Cruise, I will basically not be able to tear my face anymore, and I will maintain the superficial relationship between them." ”
"There......" she gestured to a Lexus in front of her with her chin, "that's Mel Gibson's car, he's notoriously fond of Japanese cars, and he doesn't have a good relationship with Tom, but for Nicole Kidman's sake, he's still here to join the party." ”
Duke shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, letting Naomi Watts whisper in his ear.
"In the summer, "Lethal Weapon 3" has been pressed by "Life and Death", I heard that Mel Gibson has a bit of an opinion about you, he has a short temper, you better ignore him."
"I don't know like a barbarian."
Hearing Duke's words, Naomi covered her mouth and chuckled, "So you can joke too, it's not so boring. ”
"Am I rigid?" Duke never thought of himself as such a person.
The two walked to the mansion, and Naomi handed over the invitation, led Duke across the stone path, and walked around the lawn in the front courtyard towards the back garden at the prompting of a waiter.
"Maybe you're not rigid, and you're not boring." Naomi replied, "Just too focused. ”
Roughly understanding the meaning of the petite girl next to him, Duke said seriously, "In Hollywood, you have to know what you want first, and after you know what you want, you will naturally find a way to your goal, and you will find a way." You're going to focus, you're going to endure a qiē because you want to go to the goal, because you know you have to be focused if you want to achieve it. ”
Naomi tilted her head and thought for a moment, "That seems to make sense." ”
Along the marble pavement, Duke and the two turned a corridor and entered the back garden, where under the bright lights, nearly 100 people centered on the pool, scattered into different circles, gathered in the huge courtyard, and waiters in crisp uniforms carried trays back and forth, constantly serving drinks and drinks.
"Hi, Nami."
"Hi, Mary."
In front of Duke, Nicole Kidman in a short dress greeted him, and Naomi Watts let go of his arm and hugged her gently, as if the two had a really good relationship.
"Hello, Duke."
The tall woman, who had an apparently excellent memory, walked over and shook Duke's hand gently, and before Duke could say anything, the true owner of the house came to the side.
"Tom, I'll introduce you." Nicole Kidman pulled Cruise, "This is Duke Rosenberg, the director of "The Speed of Life and Death." ”
"Hello, Mr. Cruise." Duke took the initiative to reach out his hand, and as the host, Tom Cruise would not be rude, "Duke, can I call you that?" Thank you, you have created a miracle in this year's summer file. ”
Probably looking up slightly at Duke and not speaking very comfortably, Tom Cruise said a few polite words, and then took Nicole Kidman to greet the other guests, the famous golden boy and girl in the United States, who are not only the owner of the pie, but also the center of the audience.
When you come to this kind of occasion, it is natural to get together with people you know or don't know to say a few words, and what kind of words to say in front of what kind of people on what occasion, it is not difficult for Duke.
"Nami, is this your boyfriend?"
As soon as he walked to the table by the pool and sat down, Duke heard a slightly gruff male voice behind him, and saw Naomi Watts give him a helpless look.
"Won't you tell me about it?" The man sat down on Duke's side with a glass of wine, and immediately frowned, "Duke Rosenberg? ”
Smelling the smell of alcohol coming from the other party, Duke deflected slightly and nodded lightly at him, "Hello, Mr. Gibson." ”
Since the other party's attitude is not good, he will not use a smile on his face, but just maintain the most basic politeness.
“Boy!” Mel Gibson was obviously a little too drunk, and he tapped his finger on the table in front of Duke, "I will definitely get back the face I lost in "Lethal Weapon 3". ”
"I'm happy to accompany you." Duke didn't even look at him.
This guy is an alcoholic, hot-tempered, and rebellious person, and now he is no different from a drunk.
Although Mel Gibson drank too much, he still remembered what the occasion was, waved to Naomi Watts on the other side, and left.
"Remember what I said to you?" Naomi asked for two glasses of mulled wine and handed one of them over, "Mel Gibson fired his agent because "Lethal Weapon 3" didn't meet expectations, and switched to CAA. ”
Hearing Naomi mention CAA, Duke remembered that many of the people who participated in the pie today, including the two masters, were all CAA's artists, and couldn't help but turn their heads slightly, and their eyes quickly swept over the pie, not only artists, but also some CAA agents, such as one of the women, who later made Tom Cruise want to die and discredited.
Of course, if you measure it by another of his standards, Liangtang is a standard evil. Catholics.
"Nami ......"
Nicole Kidman walked over at this point, "Can I borrow Duke?" ”
"Excuse me......"
Without waiting for Naomi Watts to say anything, Duke cast a puzzled look at Nicole Kidman, as if he had no friendship with the couple, right?
"Can I invite you to come here?" Nicole Kidman politely said, "There's a friend who wants to get to know you." ”
It would be rather rude to refuse if the master invited him, and Duke nodded lightly to Naomi, got up and walked with Nicole Kidman towards the quietest corner of Pai Duì.
A few dozen feet away, Duke saw the man sitting at the white round table laughing with Cruise, and although the light was dim, he recognized it at a glance, it was Martin Bob, one of CAA's supergiants!
Interesting!
Since it was almost there, Duke would not turn back halfway, and with a faint smile on his face, he strode over.
The other party obviously saw him too, but just stared sideways, Duke nodded slightly, pulled the chair next to the round table, and sat directly on it.
"I've seen your new script." Martin Bob gets straight to the point, "If you give it to CAA for packaging services, I promise that within two weeks the crew will start preparing, and you will be the director!" ”
"What about the conditions?" Duke asked in the simplest of words.
"Change the character of Goosby to a young, handsome, athletic chemist."
Hearing Martin Bob's words, the corners of Duke's mouth curled slightly, and the afterglow of his eyes swept over Tom Cruise's face, and then he stood up.
"Thanks, no need."
This is one of the reasons why he is most disgusted by the CAA's packaging policy, under their packaging service, its directors and actors are just pawns, and in order to take care of the needs of the A-level customers, they can often make a lot of incredible requests.
Duke needs an agent, but he doesn't like to be a puppet.
Even though he is now a vulnerable group in the face of film companies, film companies are completely different from CAA, they do not have so much control over directors and actors, and the two sides are commercial cooperation.
If you want to be popular, if you want to win a heavyweight award, you can find CAA, this is not empty words, as long as you don't mind them interfering in your life in all aspects.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Kidman."
As a person with a good family upbringing, Duke naturally did not forget to say goodbye to his master, "Thank you, Mr. Cruise. ”
Tom Cruise's handsome face, despite the polite smile on it, was somewhat stiff.
Leaving Tom Cruise's mansion, Duke found his Bentley, waited for Naomi in the passenger seat belt to buckle, and slowly drove towards the outskirts of Beverly Hills.
"Actually, you don't have to go together."
Turning a T-junction, Duke Tong Guò looked in the rearview mirror and looked at the co-pilot, "I'm just not used to going to bed too late." ”
"We're all in this together." Naomi adjusted her position, "Of course we have to be early. ”
She could see that something unpleasant should have happened, but she didn't ask anything, which was also an attitude, and she didn't want to get involved in it.
"You're back ...... West Hollywood"
When the car arrived on the outskirts of Beverly Hills, Duke asked, "Or go to me?" ”
Naomi Watts turned her head and stared at Duke's side for a moment, "There you are." ”
The black Bentley accelerated suddenly, nimbly overtook the cars, and drove towards North Hollywood like a ghost, and finally stopped in front of a brand-new apartment building, and a tall figure, a petite girl, walked briskly into the building.
"I thought you had a lot of patience."
As soon as she entered the room, Naomi was pressed behind the door, her hands tugging at Duke's belt, "Again...... You've always disguised yourself? ”
Duke didn't speak, grabbed Naomi's wrist with one hand, and with the other a little force, flipped her petite body and lifted her skirt directly.
"Hell!" Naomi put her hands on the door and turned back in pleading, "Don't ...... here"
She was greeted by a stormy dash, and then she rolled her eyes slightly, completely oblivious to the thought of objecting.
The long night had just begun, and the two gradually moved to the bathroom, and when Duke carried her into the bedroom, Naomi didn't even want to move her fingers, lying on the somewhat hard mattress, one hand unconsciously caressing the angular strong body next to her.
Suddenly, Duke's fingers ran between her ribs, causing her to let out a 'gee' laugh.
Flipping over, Duke propped his head on one hand and looked down at Naomi's smooth body, these actresses had made themselves too thin in pursuit of the photogenic effect.
"I'm out of energy."
Seeing Duke's eyes, Naomi couldn't help but shrink her body.
"Sleep!"
There was a crisp sound, and Duke slapped her hips.
