After the start of the party, Duke became the busiest person, constantly moving around the lawn of the garden, entertaining the guests as the host, in addition to the actors and the staff who made up the crew, and the senior management of several film companies also sent representatives here.

For example, Robert, who came on behalf of Walt Disney? Egger, Tim on behalf of Fox? Fisher, Clark on behalf of Warner Bros.? Mueller and so on.

And George, who came from San Francisco? Lucas.

"Where's your mother, Duke?"

Hear George? Lucas asked about his mother, Duke hurried to end up with Sophia? Coppola whispered, "She's got other guests with her, she's just called, and she'll be over a little later." ”

"It's been a long time since I've seen Leah."

Lucas beckoned to this side, motioning for Duke to walk towards a quieter place. Fei stopped those who wanted to come over to say hello.

The two of them gradually walked to the edge of the lawn until no one else was in sight. Lucas stopped.

"Uncle Lucas......"

"Call me George!" George? Lucas corrected again, then looked at Duke, and seemed to sigh with emotion, "When I was your age, I was still a student who dreamed of directing all day long, and I didn't know where the future was, with your mother and father...... Still don't mention that bastard......"

10≯ He patted Duke on the shoulder, "Duke, you have stood at the forefront of Hollywood directors, and you have achieved what most of them can't do in their lifetime, and Hollywood has never had a director like you." ”

"I was just lucky." Duke was a rare humble word.

George? Lucas smiled, and suddenly said sternly, "Just like me and Steven, in the process of the rise of any director, there will always be a violation of the interests of many people. There will be countless people who will want to pull you off the heights! ”

"There are actually quite a few people doing it!"

Hear Duke, George? Lucas nodded, "So, you should see the direction clearly, be firm in your goals, and don't stop." Keep moving forward! Even if the temptation is too great for you to refuse, move forward! ”

"I understand!"

Lucas suddenly smiled again, rubbed his beard, and asked, "Are you interested in Star Wars?" ”

"Star Wars?" Duke didn't understand what Lucas meant.

"Fox and Lucasfilm are planning to reboot the Star Wars franchise, and I've already finished the first draft of the script." Lucas kept his eyes on Duke as if he were looking at his prey, "It's expected to be in the pre-shooting phase in the next two to three years, I'm getting older." I always feel a little overwhelmed. ”

"George......" Duke held back the surprise in his heart, "you don't want me to be the director, do you?" ”

"I think you're a good fit!" George? Lucas didn't mean to deny it, "Independence Day proves your mastery of sci-fi blockbusters, and in fact, Star Wars can't get out of the popcorn category, isn't that what you're best at?" ”

Just in George? While Lucas said this, Duke automatically made up the scene of Star Wars directed by himself, a fast-changing spaceship chase battle. Obi-Wan can't be blown up no matter how much you blow it up...... and Star Wars' soft fights, which are too inconsistent with his aesthetics and appetite. Be sure to change to a tough guy fighting style......

The question is, is that a Star Wars still a Star Wars?

"George, this is your movie ......"

Before he finished speaking, Duke was killed by George? Lucas interrupted, "Don't be too busy refusing just yet, think about it for a while before giving me an answer." ”

Duke nodded. For the time being, I agreed to think about it, and at the same time, I also sighed in my heart that he used to ask people everywhere with zero salary for the script, but no one was willing to invest, and after successive successes. Even a series like Star Wars has people sent to the door.

I have to say that Hollywood is such a reality.

"Looks like someone is looking for you."

George? Lucas reminded Duke and walked towards the lawn, "I'll go first." ”

With a polite word to Lucas, Duke turned his head to look, Tina? Fei Zheng walked up to him and asked, "Something?" ”

"Lady Leah is here." She said, "There are other guests, Miss Coppola told you to hurry over." ”

Back in the pie, Duke greeted people and walked towards the rest place where his mother was, and when he saw the familiar figures of his mother and Sophia, he also saw another woman, who seemed to be the guest who accompanied his mother.

It was a woman who would not be more than twenty-five years old at most, her long brown hair was combed to the sides, neatly tied behind her head, her goose-egg-shaped face was clearly contoured, her facial features were three-dimensional, faintly with a bit of Jewish characteristics, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she always had a faint and decent smile.

With Charlize? Theron or Sophie? Masoby, this woman's appearance is not very beautiful, but with a hint of bookish temperament in her elegance, it is very easy to give people a good impression, and this temperament comes from the inside out, appearing real and not pretentious.

In particular, her pale blue silk horizontal grosgrain gown with delicate ivory white taffeta flower embroidery, and the white dinner pouch in her hand, with earrings and bracelets set with moonstones, white gold, solid gold and diamonds, accentuated her temperament and was extraordinarily bright.

If the female star in the circle is a fashionista who is packaged by public relations and fashion designers, then this woman is completely interpreting fashion and elegance with herself!

She is completely different from Hollywood actresses, even if she paints light makeup, she can be picked out at a glance.

"Mom's ......"

As she walked over, several of the people sitting at the rest table stood up, and Lady Leah nodded, introducing them to both sides.

"This is Duke."

"Duke, is this Miss Lauder, Irene? Lauder, from Estée? The Lauder Group. ”

For Estée? Lauder, even if Duke is lonely and unheard, he has heard of it, not to mention that Santa Fea still has a lot of business dealings with them, and listening to each other's names, they should be the descendants of the Lauder family.

"Hello, Miss Lauder."

"Hello, Director Rosenberg......"

The two simply shook hands, I don't know if it was an illusion, Duke felt Irene? Lauder's hands trembled a little, as if she was nervous or excited?

"Call me Duke."

Sitting around the oak table, Duke beckoned to the side. Immediately a waiter brought four glasses of champagne, Irene? Lauder took a glass and continued to smile gracefully, saying, "You can call me Irene, I've known Aunt Leah for a long time. ”

While Irene? The time Lauder spoke to Lady Leah. Sophia leaned into Duke's ear and whispered, "She's Yashi?" Lauder's granddaughter, who has only one cousin above, seems to be the third generation of the Lauder family. ”

Santa Fea has always cooperated with the Lauder Group, but what did the other party do when they approached him? Duke is still a little weird.

Sitting opposite was the famous Explosive Maniac and Duke Ruined Miè, Erin? Lauder is still a little excited, after all, this is a director she likes very much, and she has watched him three movies in a row. There is always a little bit of fan love when they see their idols, so much so that when they shook hands just now, their right hands trembled a little.

But she quickly adjusted her feelings, and this time she came here for a commercial purpose, but she is not a director that fans like!

As a prominent figure in the third generation of the Lauder Group, Erin knows exactly what to say and what to do.

"You talk about ......"

Lady Leah stood up. He said to Duke, "Sophia and I will help you entertain guests." ”

Sophia also stood up with a tacit understanding. Follow in Lady Leah's footsteps and leave here.

With this qiē in full view, Duke understood that this was his mother's attitude and would not interfere in the business affairs that the other party would bring up with him next.

Looking at the woman opposite who always had a proper smile on her face and was extremely elegant in her every move, Duke had no intention of going around in circles. "Do you know what you're here for, Miss Lauder?"

This is North America, and the next thing to talk about is definitely business, and going straight is the most suitable and time-saving way.

"I wonder if director Rosenberg is interested in entering the advertising world?"

Like Duke, Irene? Lauder also took the initiative to distance the two sides. "The Lauder Companies would like to invite you to direct a new advertising campaign for Youth Morning Dew next year."

"Why me?" Duke didn't make it clear.

"Let's put it this way, director Rosenberg, I've seen three of your works, and more than once." Erin? Lauder said seriously, "In my opinion, the three films are gorgeous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are super long commercials!" I don't mean anything else, I like this type of film very much, so I recommend you to the group. ”

"Thank you." Duke raised his glass to her, took a sip of champagne, and said, "Actually, in some clips, I'm also using advertising techniques to make the film." ”

This is the consensus of the Hollywood industry, and Duke has never felt that this is anything unprofessional.

"What about ...... Irene?" Lauder asked directly, "Are you interested in this offer?" ”

"You can talk to my agent."

If the price is right, Duke must be interested, and shooting luxury advertising blockbusters is a job that first-line directors often make cameos to make money.

Seeing that Duke didn't directly refuse, Erin? Lauder secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, picked up her wine glass and touched it with Duke, "I wish us a successful cooperation!" Good luck with your movie! ”

"Thank you!" Duke said politely.

After talking about business, Erin seemed a little more relaxed, she looked at Duke, and asked tentatively, "Is 'Saving Private Ryan' finished?" ”

"It's still in the post-production process." Duke replied casually.

"I mentioned it to Aunt Leah when I came over." She seemed a little disappointed, "If it's possible, I'd love to see your movie sooner." ”

Duke couldn't help but be a little stunned, originally thought that the other party said that he liked his movie was just a polite remark, but looking at the current situation, it seems to be true?

The Lauder Group was an important client of Santa Fea, and Duke immediately made the most suitable choice, "Erin, if you have time, can you come to Los Angeles for the premiere?" ”

"Is that okay?"

The surprise on the face of the woman who had been smiling faintly flashed in surprise, and Duke nodded, "Of course! (To be continued......)
