With a large suitcase in one hand, Duke walked out of Zeta? Jones rented a detached house, walked across the lawn in the vestibule, came to the back of the SUV parked on the side of the road, opened the rear compartment, put the suitcase inside, and then Zeta? Jones and his agent, Vivian, also walked over with two large tote bags, and anyone with a little experience knew that this was moving.

The surrounding reporters and paparazzi were separated from a short distance, frequently pressed their cameras, and even reporters equipped with DV cameras completely recorded Duke's actions on the camera.

This was supposed to be the desired outcome of this operation, and it must have been Pani? Kelis contacted reporters, as long as they don't come closer, Duke doesn't look at them, greets Zeta? The two Jones got in a car and started the car and drove towards Malibu.

The SUV has not yet turned the corner, and the motorcycle and sedan have followed a large number of them, and the paparazzi reporters who think they have caught the fierce news will let them go.

"Looks like we're going to rob Tom? Cruise and Nicole? Kidman's headlines. ”

Duke looked in the rearview mirror and said to Zeta? Jones said, "They just made entertainment headlines today, and they probably won't mind." ”

The most crazy hype by the gossip media today is the trip to the hospital of the Cruises, and the news that those guys dug up from the hospital is Nicole? Kidman may be pregnant......

This was definitely an explosive piece of news, and the qiē about the two immediately became a hot topic, and the crazy hype momentum of the media even made Duke wonder for a while, Nicole? Is Kidman really pregnant?

If Nicole? Is Kidman really pregnant, Tom? Will the fate of the Cruises change?

Frankly, after working together on "Chicago", Duke vs. Tom? Cruise's inherent impression has changed a lot, the young and famous Liang Tang is indeed not very good at being a person, and his arrogant personality is very easy to offend people, but no one can deny his hard work, and the working Liang Tang is completely a qualified or even extremely diligent actor.

Conflicts between people are often triggered by interests. Deepening due to estrangement, long-term cooperation will bring about some changes, and perhaps the contradictions and conflicts will become more acute. It may also be softened by understanding.

The two have common interests in "Chicago" and have worked together to dig a trap to pit Mel? Gibson, the relationship between them can be said to have eased a lot, and now that there is no obvious conflict of interest, Duke has gradually faded the idea of pit Cruise. As long as Liang Tang does not violate his interests in the future, the two of them can maintain their current state.

As long as he doesn't be arrogant enough to do foolish things, he will go his own way in the future.

"Chicago" will expand this weekend, and it's not enough for the Crews to dominate the entertainment headlines, so Duke is also trying to grab the headlines.

A group of reporters and paparazzi followed them directly to the beach villa area in Malibu, as if they must see Catherine with their own eyes? Zeta? Jones had to die when he moved into his house, and Duke rolled his eyes when he arrived at the door of his Duke manor and saw a nearby Fox TV van.

This is Twentieth Century Fox returning his favor.

Fox TV's OB van is of course Pani? Kelis contacted and Duke postponed a portion of the box office share of "Saving Private Ryan." In order to alleviate the financial pressure of Twentieth Century Fox, the other party owed a small favor, and this kind of hype and propaganda was originally the consistent style of the entertainment channel of Fox TV, and the other party simply made the battle bigger.

Captured by countless cameras and camera lenses, Duke drove the SUV into the manor, and the car stopped directly in front of the eye-shaped villa. Kelis and Nancy? Josephson was already waiting here, and Emma, the butler, took the luggage that Duke had taken from the car with a few servants.

"Are you still smooth?" Kelis came over and asked.

Duke was the first to walk towards the villa, and to Pani? Calis and Nancy? "Except to bring a swarm of flies." It's no different from the past. ”

In his non-film time, Duke's life has always been low-key, and once he gets to work, he tries to promote his work.

The experiences of the past and this life are clear and unambiguous. The quality of the film is only the basis of success, and full publicity is a necessary means, he never wants to be like "The Shawshank Redemption", waiting for many years later, someone will make a name for himself, this is a circle with a high rate of forgetfulness and elimination. One more failure can have many unimaginable negative effects.

Duke and the others are ahead, Catherine? Zeta? Jones and Vivien followed.

"Kate ......"

Looking at Duke's tall back, Vivien whispered, "Work hard, your future is in front of you." ”

Catherine? Zeta? Jones looked straight ahead and said firmly, "Come in, I didn't want to leave again!" ”

Entering the living room, Duke Jean Tina? Faye helps himself to greet the guests, with Zeta? Jones and the servant with the luggage walked towards the second floor, which was mainly a living quarter, and Duke had already been Zeta? Jones prepared the room.

Pushing open a rearranged guest room, Duke said to Zeta, who was following him? Jones said, "Kate, this is your room. ”

"We don't live in ......"

Not waiting for Zeta? Jones's question was raised, and Duke pinched her face and interrupted her, "Kate, you are my honored guest, of course I have to entertain her with a grand honor." ”

Let the maid put the luggage in, Duke to the twinkling-eyed Zeta? Jones shook his head, "I'll show you around." ”

After a circle around the second floor, Duke took her to the third floor again, and Zeta during the whole process? Jones said very little, Duke could roughly guess what she was thinking, but he didn't pay attention to it, he believed that people like her and Charlize? Theron, a female star with unrealistic ideas, has existed in the past, has existed now, and will continue to exist in the future.

As long as you are not stupid, everyone knows the benefits of climbing a top director for your future acting career.

Walking slowly through the corridor on the third floor, Duke stopped in front of a room and turned to look at Zeta? Jones, seriously, said, "Kate, you can go to all the places in the manor, but except for two. ”

Zeta? Jones didn't speak, but looked at Duke.

Duke tilted his head and gestured to the room next to him, "This is my mother's bedroom, and she doesn't like people coming into her room." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to another room at the end of the hallway, "That's my study, and no one is allowed to enter except Tina and Emma." ”

"I see." Zeta? Jones nodded slightly.

"Let's go down." Duke took the lead in the direction of the stairs and continued, "Today is your first day moving here, Emma has prepared a pie for you, and Zach and John will bring their female companions with them later. ”

Like Tom? Cruise and Nicole? Kidman's gossip like Duke vs. Zeta? Jones has also been the focus of this weekend's gossip media care, and according to Pani? The publicity plan formulated by Kelis is also the last step, after the relevant news gradually ferments, the next thing she should consider is how to find the right opportunity and excuse to officially let Duke end this relationship for the sake of publicity.

In terms of regular publicity, Warner Bros. is also making efforts, and the two types of publicity methods have formed an effective complement, and the nostalgic crowd still maintains a great enthusiasm in the theater where "Chicago" was screened this weekend, while the example of young people has also increased significantly.

In addition, the large-scale publicity also grabbed a lot of audiences from other films screened in the same period.

Especially Miramax's "The English Patient", this film has been expanded, but the attendance has dropped significantly, because the theme of the film itself is very dull, few young audiences are willing to watch, especially this weekend There is no heavyweight film, after the rapid loss of popularity of "Star Trek First Strike", affected by various publicity and hype, many young audiences chose "Chicago".

Like the media reports and comments, "Chicago" is definitely not boring, if the heart is biased against the song and dance film, it is incomprehensible, if you can watch it seriously, you will be attracted by its gorgeous song and dance and strong black humor, and the pace of this film is tight enough and fast enough.

In the theater of Los Angeles, after a screening of "Chicago", Jones and some of his companions walked out of the theater, still discussing the movie just now.

"Shamelessness is depicted as art by Duke in black terms, and kindness is overlooked."

Jones said to his companion as he walked, "Killing is an art, lawyers are top acting stars, and those times are terrible." ”

"Don't forget," his companion reminded, "The story takes place in the sin capital of Chicago. ”

At this time, Jones's phone rang, and he picked up and said a few words, and his voice gradually increased, "You guys went to see "The English Patient"? How does it feel? Very dull? Haha, my side? Just ended, "Chicago" is the same as advertised, very interesting, you can watch it. ”

By Sunday afternoon, after nearly 10 days of word-of-mouth fermentation and intensive publicity, the latest statistics showed that the number of young audiences in the number of "Chicago" screenings that afternoon had reached nearly 40%.

This is undoubtedly good news at a time when the enthusiasm of the nostalgic group is about to recede, even if the popularity of the film decreases, there will be no shortage of audiences.

"Chicago" has also shown strong enough momentum, and although the more than 1,800 theaters are far from "Star Trek First Strike", the attendance has been far ahead this weekend, and the total audience has not lagged behind, but has firmly surpassed "Star Trek First Strike".

At the start of a new week, "Chicago" has achieved a counterattack that everyone expected. (To be continued.) )xh118
