Chapter 109: Finding Fault
"Honey, I've already called."
Standing in front of the dressing mirror, Duke straightened his shirt and said to Heidi Krum, who came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, "Have your agent go directly to Martha Hudson, and she'll talk to you about it." ”
There must always be a certain reward for paying, Duke understands this truth, and when he got up this morning, he called his mother's assistant and asked about the reason for Heidi Klum's defeat from the side, if it was rejected by his mother, he would never say a second word, and find a way to give Heidi Krum a small role in Warner's movie.
Naturally, this matter has nothing to do with her mother, it is the ghost of one of Heidi Krum's competitors, and the competition in the modeling circle is far more fierce than in the entertainment park, although it is not known what agreement the other party has reached with a senior executive in Santa Fea, Martha still promised that Duke would come forward to coordinate.
"How can I thank you?"
Heidi Krum walked over, hugged Duke from behind, stood on tiptoe and gently nibbled on his earlobe, and kept blowing into his cochlea.
Turning around, Duke pinched the pointed chin and looked at her pretty face, his palm slowly caressed it, gently kneading the smooth skin, five long fingers running through the rounded ears and into the beautiful blonde hair.
The blonde model's beautiful blue eyes, always looking at Duke, affectionate, like the best lover.
Rubbing Heidi Klum's blonde hair, Duke's palm suddenly increased its strength, pressing the back of her head down, Heidi Krum was not a stupid person, immediately understood Duke's intentions, hesitated slightly, or followed the strength of Duke's hand, slowly became shorter, and finally squatted in front of Duke.
She unbuckled her belt, and her beautiful face was pasted on, and she gave a superb blow.job.
It was quite a pleasure for Duke, and Heidi Krumbina Omi Watts was so skilled.
Near noon, Duke left the hotel and prepared to take the afternoon flight back to Los Angeles, and before leaving, he also made a point to find out that Martha's meeting with Heidi Krum's agent at noon was quite pleasant, and it should not be a problem for German models to join the upcoming Angels.
Although there are many precedents for Hollywood to turn around and be ruthless, Duke will not fail to taste it this way.
Arriving at the airport, Duke led Scarlett Johansson to a different boarding gate with his mother who was going to New York, got on the American Airlines plane, and went directly to the first class, the seats of the two were next to each other, he helped the little guy fasten his seat belt, and asked the stewardess for a blanket to cover Scarlett.
"Where did you go last night?" Holding a stack of newspapers, Scarlett looked at him and asked, "I went and knocked on your door, but there was no response." ”
"With a friend."
With a casual reply, Duke sat down in his chair, fastened his seat belt, and waited for the plane to take off.
"Duke, after yesterday's reception, the godmother was very upset." The girl's eyes kept flashing.
"Really?" Duke wouldn't believe her nonsense, of course, "Why didn't I see it?" ”
"Humph......"
Scarlett wrinkled her nose and flipped through the newspaper, covering her face regardless of whether she could read it or not.
There may be some problems to read, but there will be no obstacle to looking at the pictures, Scarlett flipped to the entertainment version, which was overwhelmed with news of yesterday's Victoria's Secret catwalk, a bunch of pictures of models, mixed with busts of Duke and screenshots of the blowing up of the White House, "Independence Day" was also noticed by the media.
She put down the newspaper and looked at Duke next to her, who seemed to be asleep, "Duke! ”
"Something?" Duke tilted his head that way.
"Why don't you cut my character into a commercial?"
Hearing these puffing words, Duke turned his head and felt from the noon meeting today that Scarlett Johansson seemed to be playing a game called finding faults.
"There's a poster for you later." Duke closed his eyes again.
"Really?"
If it weren't for the seat belt, the little girl would definitely jump in front of him, "Is it this release?" ”
"It's not." Duke shook his head, "Before the release." ”
"I thought it was today." Scarlett pouted disappreciately.
The plane sounded the signal that it was about to take off, Duke took a pair of headphones, put them on Scarlett's ears, and pulled up the blanket for her, "Get some sleep, we'll be back in Los Angeles when we wake up." ”
Since the end of filming for "Independence Day" and the promotion of Super Bowl ads as the pioneer, on the day Duke flew back to Los Angeles, Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox took advantage of the Super Bowl commercial craze to jointly hold a press conference and unveil seven posters.
In addition to the characters played by Jeff Columbus, Will Smith, Bill Pullman and Naomi Watts, the other three posters are entirely about explosions and destruction, and in the three posters, New York, Los Angeles and the White House are completely on fire.
The most concerned is the bombing of the White House, and this poster has also triggered a collection frenzy among fans.
In the Lauder Building in New York, Erin hurried into the office of the advertising manager with a stack of papers, and walked out again a few minutes later, she walked through the long hallway, came to the corner near the safety staircase, looked at her watch, and the appointment time was almost up.
With a creak, the security door was pushed open from the inside, and a man of her age approached.
"Hi Irene." He was holding a couple of cylindrical things.
"Got it?"
Erin hurriedly greeted him, took a cylinder, and couldn't wait to pull it open, which was the scene of an alien spaceship descending and smashing the White House.
"Great, this is what I want!" She was very happy.
"It's something I managed to grab."
The young man began to grunt about how many people were at the poster distribution site, how he went to great lengths to get into the front row, and how he bravely grabbed these posters from countless people......
"Alright, give me the poster."
Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge is what is now Irene, "You can go." ”
"Erin, I can invite you ......"
"Oh, sorry......"
She turned away suddenly, and at the same time turned back and said, "I still have work to do, see you next time." ”
Turning a corner, Erin held the poster with one hand, took out her phone and dialed Anna's, "Hi Anna, I got the poster!" That poster blowing up the White House is simply handsome! Duke Rosenberg deserves to be Duke Rosenberg, he really went out of California and was ready to bomb the world! ”
"I got it too."
Standing in an office, Anna walked back and forth admiring the movie posters that had just been plastered on the wall, the White House, New York and Los Angeles were all in flames, "Then make an appointment, my Miss Lauder, after the film is released, we will go to the midnight show as soon as the film is released!" ”
"Shall we go to the premiere?" Erin's voice in the earpiece carried an irrepressible longing.
"Are you sure you can take a leave of absence?" Anna reminded her, "Do you have time to go to Los Angeles?" ”
"It's so frustrating."
Hanging up her friend's phone and sitting behind her desk, Anna's eyes returned to the posters, she was the same age as Duke Rosenberg, she was also studying filmmaking, he had already directed a $100 million super-production, but she could only waste her years in the theater on Broadway.
Entering the internship period, Anna did not go to Hollywood to look for opportunities as Irene said, but came to the nearest Broadway for an internship, although the time is not too long, but fully appreciate the complexity of this circle, newcomers want to break out of the encirclement, what is needed is not only strength, but also opportunities.
A young director like Duke Rosenberg who combines talent, strength and luck is hard to find in the history of Hollywood.
Looking at the line of 'Duke Rosenberg' on the poster, Anna gradually made up her mind that after graduation, she would go to Hollywood to find her own opportunities.
While Anna was thinking about the future, a group of students at the university where she had not yet graduated pasted the same poster on the wall of her dorm apartment, pointing at the White House that had been blown to pieces, and promised that after the film was released, they would definitely go and see how the exploding director blew up North America.
In just a few days, along with the hype of the Super Bowl halftime ad blowing up the White House, "Independence Day" posters can be found all over North America, from the pastures of Texas to the grasslands of Montana, from the icy beaches of Seattle to the sea-crossing bridge in Miami, from the Cambridge City of Boston to the Latin neighborhoods of Los Angeles.
Back in Los Angeles, Duke participated in several media events to cooperate with the producer's publicity plan, and after shutting down the film, he quickly threw himself into the post-production of the film, first summoning the first production manager Charles Rowan, the second production manager Robin Grande and the executive producer Jon Landau, announcing that the production cost of the film would definitely be controlled within $90 million.
According to the publicity plan, "Independence Day" will still be promoted at a cost of 100 million yuan, which in itself is a boo to attract fans, and Duke strongly asked the producer to fulfill his promise to invest the 10 million US dollars he saved in the promotion of the film in exchange for more box office figures.
You must know that his revenue share is closely related to the final box office, and the higher the box office, the happier he will be.
Although Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox hesitated for a while, after market research and careful consideration, and the fact that almost all of the 10 million dollars came from other investors, they finally nodded.
However, the two sides also reached a tacit agreement, the book cost of the film must be 100 million US dollars, how to operate is a problem that Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox need to consider, and increasing the total investment figure can dilute the final share of foreign investors, Duke has no objection to this, after all, all Hollywood is trying to hack foreign investors' money, and it is not his interests that move.
