Entertainment gossip has always been a popular sight for the public.

"Keanu? Reeves sunny and handsome, Uma? Thurman is beautiful and charming, the two are a screen couple in "Life and Death", and they are also a matching couple outside the movie......"

"Keanu? Reeves and Uma? Thurman did a fake show because of "The Speed of Life and Death", and Hollywood has another pair of golden boys and girls......"

Thanks to the PR efforts of Twentieth Century Fox, there was a lot of news about the 'couple' and their new movie in the media, especially the tabloids owned by News Corp., which almost blew up the gossip news.

All of this has a clear purpose and draws the audience into the theater!

So, when the new North American box office charts were announced, both Duke and Twentieth Century Fox laughed.

500 theaters, three days over the weekend, "Life and Death" got $7.55 million, not only successfully entered the top 10 of the box office list, but also won the best single theater box office results last weekend with a single box office of more than 15,000 US dollars.

At this time, even God could not prevent Twentieth Century Fox from expanding its publicity and screening scale again to reap more benefits.

On April 27, the third week of "The Speed of Life and Death" in North American theaters and the last Monday of April, Twentieth Century Fox finally expanded the number of theaters of "The Speed of Life and Death" to 2,385, and invested heavily in the bombardment of publicity, and the name of the film spread throughout North America.

Duke also worked with the crew to start running announcements between major cities in North America, no matter where he went, Keanu? Reeves and Uma? Thurman, the golden boy and girl, are the focus of the fan media, and as time goes by, Duke has naturally been noticed by many media, and the "young Rosenberg" director will also appear in the entertainment pages of some media from time to time.

However, Duke is not enthusiastic about promoting himself, the director has to rely on the work to speak after all, and no one will focus too much on the director now, and when another era of more open information arrives, the director will come to the fore thoroughly.

After a long period of accumulation such as test screenings, spot screenings, and small-scale screenings, and with the full support of Twentieth Century Fox, "Life and Death" is like a young talent with a deep background and thick accumulation, and finally ushered in a complete explosion.

When Duke and the crew traveled through San Francisco, Salt Lake City and other cities, all the way east, "Life and Death" earned $22.5 million in the first four working days of the new week! By the time they finished their weekend in Pittsburgh, the film fetched $34.75 million over three days over the weekend!

This weekend's box office also made "Life and Death" on the North American box office charts, with an advantage of less than $1 million, beating Mel? Gibson's new work "Lethal Weapon 3" firmly sits at the top of the box office list!

This is the first box office champion of "Life and Death" and Duke's first box office champion!

And the total box office of the film in North America has exceeded 66 million US dollars, and the potential that has been accumulated for a long time has finally exploded!

Although this figure is not enough for the mother to recover the cost, it is no exaggeration to say that the film has been a success, and he has enough capital to make the second work go unattended even if the box office hits later.

"Did you hear that, Duke?"

Just entered the hotel, Naomi? Watts took the initiative to come over.

In the new week, the crew arrived in New York, the last and most important stop of the East Coast promotion, because of the film's complete box office hit, Twentieth Century Fox gathered more actors to participate in the promotion of New York, and those who wanted to take advantage of the film were also in the fight of their respective agents, some came to New York, and some could only watch from the sidelines.

Naomi? Watts was apparently the one who got the ticket, "I heard Nancy say, Mel? Gibson was very unhappy with the loss of Lethal Weapon 3 to Life and Death. You should know, right? His temper is extremely short-tempered, and he is also addicted to alcohol, not only beat his assistant when he got drunk, but also fired his agent, preparing to switch to CAA. ”

"Then CAA is going to have more A-list stars."

Dealing with these women in Hollywood, Duke was a little wary and simply answered Naomi? Watts, he walked into the elevator, went up to the floor where he was staying, and went straight to his room.

Closing the door and putting down his luggage, the calm on Duke's face finally disappeared, he clenched his right fist and swung it twice, the huge pressure he had been under for the past year was thrown to the ground by him with his fist!

"Well done, Duke!"

Standing in front of the dressing mirror on the side of the door, Duke pointed to the tall and handsome young man in the mirror, "But don't relax!" Remember, this is just the beginning! ”

Taking off his coat and tidying up his luggage, Duke was just about to sit down and rest when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Dukla opened the door, and Naomi was wearing a light-colored dress outside? Watts smiled and beckoned to him, "Hi, Duke. ”

"Something?" Duke asked.

"Nothing ......"

Probably seeing Duke's frowning brow, Naomi put away her smile and said extremely seriously, "I just want to apologize to you, what happened last time ......"

She pointed to the door, "Can you go in and talk?" ”

Walking back into the room, Duke made a casual gesture to Naomi and asked, "Water, or coffee?" ”

"Ah, no."

The blonde quickly shook her hand and said, "I really don't have anything to do, I'm sorry." ”

She is not stupid at all, the last time the two of them were talking and laughing, this time they met Duke's attitude was obviously a lot more rusty, just a little thinking about it and roughly understood what was going on.

"If you can."

Eyes drift over Duke's face, Naomi? Seeing that Duke didn't seem to care about this at all, Watts asked tentatively, "As an apology, can I invite you to dinner?" ”

"I'll take the apology, and the dinner will be over."

In any case, Duke's home education did not allow him to be too rude in front of ladies, "The recent propaganda is tiring, and I need to rest." ”

"That'...... I won't bother you. ”

Stand up, Naomi? Watts walked towards the door, heard Duke's footsteps behind him, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Duke, don't you have an agent yet?" ”

"That's right."

With a casual nod, Duke sent the petite blonde away.

Just as Duke had taken a shower and was about to fall asleep, in a room diagonally across from him, Naomi? Watts was on the phone.

"Nancy, I confirmed, he doesn't have an agent."

"Settle down with him, Nami." A professional voice came from the phone, "I'm optimistic about his potential......"

Hearing this, Naomi? Watts couldn't help but roll his eyes, the box office and word-of-mouth of "Speed of Life and Death" are here, in Hollywood, where you speak with results, who doesn't know what this means, and the last time Nancy saw Duke, she didn't see his potential at all.

"It's good for you and me." The agent's words continued, "I think you should know the need to befriend a director who is rising rapidly, right? As long as he's not a meteor......"

"I understand." Naomi? Watts retracted his upturned eyes.

In terms of acting skills and appearance, she is not inferior to her classmate, but why is she not famous for her? Naomi? Watts is not a newcomer to the entertainment industry, so he naturally understands that opportunities in Hollywood are often more important than acting.

At the same time, the headquarters of CAA in Century City, Los Angeles, is also discussing Duke-related content.

"Alien 3 will be released this weekend."

As the head of the packaging project, Martin? Bob was extremely confident, "Twentieth Century Fox has signed distribution contracts with 2,450 theaters. ”

"Martin ......"

Michael, sitting at the head of the conference table? Ovitz spoke, "I heard that Twentieth Century Fox invested a lot of resources in Life and Death? ”

"I've pushed them to shift their focus back to Alien 3."

Martin? Bob rubbed his forehead, the kid from the Rosenberg family was simply a slap in the face with Twentieth Century Fox, fortunately, the basic element of being an agent is that his face is thick enough, and he said with a normal face, ""The speed of life and death" has been released for 3 weeks, and the box office that broke out last weekend has also exhausted the potential of the film, this film basically ends here, and it is next to a highly competitive summer file, and it is impossible to get good results in the strangulation, as long as the management of Fox has no problems with his head, he will inevitably focus on promoting " Alien 3. ”

This remark has almost been recognized by most of the people present, and in the minds of many people, "Speed of Life and Death" can suddenly become popular, more because there is no strong competitor in the gap between the spring and summer files.

"Mel? How's Gibson's talk? "Michael? Ovitz asked.

"He made a verbal agreement with us."

One broker replied, "The written agreement will be signed on Thursday." ”

"Duke? Whose client was Rosenberg before? ”

While you can play clowns, climb on the table, pout, and tap dance to please your clients, at CAA, Ovitz has absolute authority, "Why would CAA leave out such talent?" ”

"Yes...... It's my customer. Lovett said weakly.

"How do you rate your customers?" Ovitz's voice was extremely stern, "Are your eyes under your nose?" ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ovitz......"

"I don't want to hear an apology." He glanced at Lovett coldly, "Sign him back, I don't care what way you use!" ”

"Yes."

When the meeting was over, Lovett returned to his office, sat in his chair, and rummaged around for Duke's contact information, which he would have kept if he could do it again...... No, if Duke had been able to renew his contract when he wanted to, would he still be as embarrassed as he is today?

With a cutting-edge director in his hand, even if he will inevitably share it with other agents in the future, it will increase his capital, and even if Duke is the director Lu Shun lì, he can attract more actors to join him.

Anyway, let's find a way to re-sign Duke.

Now that he is an entertainment agent, Lovett naturally understands that such a thing as a face must be thrown away.
