Before the second audition began, Duke put Scarlett? Johnson struck out, and in the subsequent audition, he took the lead in determining several candidates for supporting roles. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After watching the auditions, Duke was basically sure that Michael? Kane as Alfred, Gary? Oldman as Inspector Gordon, Lawrence? Fishburne as Lucius? Fox, plus already confirmed to play Henry? Liam of Ducad? Neeson, the main supporting roles are basically in place, but they won't be on the crew for the time being, Charles? Rowan also has to negotiate an actor contract with their agent.

The most important aspect of the hero and heroine, in Christian? After Bell showed a strong interest, Duke stopped thinking about other candidates, and was sure that he would be Bruce? Wayne's cast selection.

In fact, when he was in Iceland, Duke almost vetoed Christian? Bell, for the simple reason that he only agreed to an invitation to audition on the last day of the crew's deadline.

Originally, Duke did not receive any information about Christian on the last day of the invitation period? Bell's message when already planning to use this? Affleck, but the other party still caught the last train.

Christian? Bell is also not as interested in independent films as many people think, such as as being a member of Warner's board of directors, Duke knew that he had auditioned for Robin in the nineties, but was eliminated by the crew.

At the end of the day, every actor who has been in Hollywood knows the importance of opportunity.

In terms of the heroine, Duke was a little hesitant, although he saw Katie in the audition? Helms, but will not consider the other party at all, the rest of Jennifer? Ghana, Amy? Adams, Annie? Hathaway and Rachel? McAdams has its own strengths and weaknesses.

He himself is more inclined to Anne? Hathaway, the actress who became famous because of "The Princess Diaries", has been at a low point in her life in recent years, and although her performance in the audition did not reach the level of later, it was enough to cope with the heroine in the film. And as long as she doesn't open her mouth to laugh, she's a qualified vase.

Indeed, the other side is relatively strong. In Duke's words, it is five big and three thick. But this is a typical American girl, and it is also very in line with the aesthetics of this country.

Several of his deputies also unanimously recommended using her.

"I think her audition was the best."

In the film room, I just watched the audition videos of several actresses, Anna? Prinz voiced his opinion, "Annie? Hathaway has a very special temperament, and she can always bring a hint of innocence and persistence to her eyes in her performance, which is similar to Rachel in the first part? Dawes is very similar. ”

Charles? Rowan was nodding his head as well. "I agree with Anna."

Duke thought for a moment, "Then Annie?" Hathaway: Okay. ”

As for Catwoman in the future, Hollywood is full of actresses with similar conditions, and there are countless people who are suitable.

Charles? Rowan's efficiency is very fast, it took about ten days to basically solve the problem of the actor's contract, and other actors can figure out the role relatively easily, Christian? Bell and Liam? Neeson, along with many stuntmen, was summoned by Duke to the training hall on the Warner set to accept Jimmy? Carter trained for three months in endurance and grappling.

Preparations are proceeding in a step-by-step manner. The time also turned to August, and Duke's energy was inevitably distracted by the offices from Silicon Valley. One of the most important investments in his life, Google, is about to go public and raise money.

By founder Larry? Paige and Sergey? Brin's earliest thought was that Google was in no hurry to go public.

The main reason why they want to carry out their IPO this month is that some requirements from the US Securities and Exchange Commission have prompted it to make a decision as soon as possible.

According to the SEC, companies with more than 500 shareholders and assets of more than $10 million are required to disclose their business information and their financial status within four months of the end of the fiscal year.

This clause has sparked enthusiasm for many American companies to simply go through IPOs, and Google fits the bill – it has more than 1,000 employees with stock options and assets of more than $100 million.

Long before going public. Larry? Paige and Sergey? Brin was ready to remain in control of the company in the future, and Google split its shares in April. One non-voting Class B share was allotted for each Class A share with voting rights, halving Google's share price. This provides opportunities for small and medium-sized investors to participate, while also weakening the voting power of some major shareholders, thus guaranteeing the power of the two founders.

This is a move that every normal businessman makes, no one wants to see the company they worked so hard to build end up in the hands of someone else, and Duke doesn't care too much about this, he doesn't know how to run a company in the first place, and investing in Google is just for money.

On August 19, Google, just six years old, went public in a highly anticipated initial public offering, valuing Wall Street at a very high valuation of $23 billion for a company that has only been around for six years!

At this time, Google's annual revenue was $2.7 billion, and its annual profit was $286 million.

Unlike most public offerings, Google sells shares through auctions and lowers the cost of an IPO.

According to Wall Street's market conditions, such a planned IPO will raise close to $3 billion, and the marketer will take a 4% fee, but Google uses this method and the rate is only 2.8%.

In theory, the auction should provide the highest possible offering price for a listed company, while providing individual investors with the opportunity to buy shares on the primary market.

But by the time Google went through its IPO, the company had to scale back its share offering and lower the offering price amid weak demand.

Although the offering price range was set at a range of $108 to $135, Google ended up going public at an offering price of only $85, selling only 22.5 million shares and raising only $1.9 billion.

To add insult to injury, Google's shares rose 18 percent on its first day of trading to close at $100.34, suggesting that the auction did not achieve some of the expected goals — to set the issue price as close as possible to the value that investors would give the stock on the open market.

Even a layman like Duke can see that this is not a successful IPO.

But for him personally, this is not the case, the sale of shares through auction has undoubtedly given him the opportunity, the relative weakness of market demand, so that several of his foundations, grabbed a lot of shares, the amount of shares that were previously diluted due to various measures, back to 25%.

If it weren't for the Securities and Futures Commission's requirement to make an announcement, Duke would have grabbed more shares, but that was enough for him to be satisfied.

The IPO was not a success, but Google became a star in the market and the media, and by the end of the day, Google's market value had risen to $27 billion, creating hundreds of multimillionaires.

Undoubtedly, Larry? Paige and Sergey? Brin, along with Duke, became the three brightest in the IPO.

Of course, shares and the actual funds can be obtained are two different things, stock trading is not the market to buy and sell vegetables, listed companies have many restrictions on shareholders, before the lifting of the ban period, many people are unable to sell their shares.

However, Duke is not short of money, otherwise he would not buy Google's shares again, although Google does not pay dividends, but the biggest purpose of his investment is to maintain value, and the speed of dollar depreciation is too fast.

There is no doubt that with the official listing of Google to raise funds, Duke has become one of the top billionaires in the United States.

And after Google went public, the stock price has been rising, and the value of the shares in his hands will be higher and higher.

Subsequently, Duke's work shifted back to the film he was preparing, and it took a lot of time and effort just to review and adjust the various equipment designed for Batman.

Lamborghini has set up a temporary production line in the workshop to complete the main design and manufacturing of the Batmobile.

Unlike the four Batman movies of the *10s, the new trilogy is biased towards realism, and some equipment that is too sci-fi is not intended to be used by Duke, just like in the past, the success of Marvel movies in its infantilized all-age style, the success of this trilogy, its realistic style is undoubtedly an important factor.

Not every hero can shoot realistically, Bruce? Wayne's main setting is undoubtedly biased towards this style.

And "Iron Man", which Duke intends to start for the Marvel series of movies, happens to be the same as Bruce? Wayne on the contrary, Tony? Stark's personality and many black technologies determine that the film is impossible to realistically, and it is biased towards all ages or children's simplistic style, which can be said to be one of the key reasons for the success of Marvel movies.

If Duke made a movie like Iron Man in a realistic style, just like making Batman funny, how terrifying would it be?

In a busy state of work, time always flies very quickly, and throughout August and September, Duke spent the whole month of intense and busy preparations, although he met Ivanka once during the period, but the relationship between the two did not improve.

In the end, Scarlett just induced the potential differences and contradictions between the two, Donald? Trump is a corner that the two can't get around.

Ivanka insisted on bringing in Trump Organization funds in the capital increase, but Duke, who owns 45 percent of the shares and has the corresponding voting rights, does not agree, and it is simply not possible.

There is always no limit to human greed, and Duke used to have a lot to do with Donald? Trump has made enough concessions that it is impossible to compromise without limits.

Fortunately, both of them are relatively sensible people, especially Ivanka, who has invested a lot of money and effort in this company and will not carry some contradictions into their work.

No matter how deep the love is, it can't stand the wear and tear of time, although the relationship between Duke and Ivanka has not reached the point of breakdown, but it will inevitably fade, and if no one of them gives in, it will be difficult to go on hand in hand. (To be continued)
