Chapter 186: The Crown Prince
This is a typical Nordic woman, with beautiful long blond-brown hair, almost as tall as Duke in high heels, blue eyes as bright as jewels, a pointed chin that sets off the hard lines of the face, and a rose-red gown with broad shoulders that looks extremely fitted.
If you don't look at the face, her figure is a bit like Charlize? Theron is a typical type of height and broad shoulders.
Such women mature early, and Duke cannot tell the exact age by looking at their appearance alone, which is estimated to be between sixteen and twenty-two years old.
Unlike those glamorous Hollywood actresses, she is not very pretty, or her makeup is obviously not flamboyant.
The earthy color makeup highlights the steady and dignified temperament, the light nose shadow and orange blush make the facial features appear more three-dimensional, and the coral lip makeup and the tone of the whole makeup are highly unified, which is extremely matched with the temperament of the whole person, giving people a fashionable and elegant feeling.
It took about ten seconds for Duke to remember who the other party was, after all, he had just said hello.
"Should I call you Your Highness? Or His Excellency the Duke? Duke seemed polite.
Victoria chuckled softly, "Would Americans care about this? β
10 Looking at Duke's point of view, the other man showed exactly eight teeth, and apparently systematically trained, he returned with a similar smile, "Not all Americans are vulgar rednecks. β
"That's just the opinion of the British."
As she said this, Victoria looked at the crowd, a member of the British royal family with the title of duke, her chin almost raised to her forehead, "Call me Vicky or Alice." β
"You can call me Duke too."
The crown prince from the Swedish royal family seems to be more commoner, and there are not so many cumbersome polite words. I chatted with Duke about the movie I had just seen, and said, "I'm very curious about the United States, and I've always wanted to go to the United States to study at a university after finishing high school in France." β
"Vicky, I recommend that you choose the New York University Film Graduate School or the USC Film School."
The other party misbehaves as a so-called princess shelf. Duke would also say a few jokes that would be appropriate to the occasion, "You're very insightful in terms of film, maybe you can do something different in this area." β
This is purely to make a high school girl like Princess Victoria happy, even a fool knows that the crown prince of Sweden cannot be a film director, but Duke's identity is different after all, and it is still very useful for a Hollywood first-class director like him to say it in an extremely serious tone.
"It was a pleasure to talk to you."
No matter how steady and dignified her appearance is, it can't change the fact that she is a little girl, and the smile on Princess Victoria's face is more natural and sincere. "I've also met a few French film directors, and their words are always about art, and if you can't talk about it, you will lose interest." β
"It's my pleasure to talk to you." There was a hint of joke in Duke's words, "Beautiful Highness. β
Although it is not a flower that is completely raised in a greenhouse, it really has to talk about knowledge, especially the topics that little girls are interested in such as movies and the entertainment industry. Princess Victoria was so far away from Duke that it was probably hard to meet someone to talk to about it. Princess Victoria seemed to be talking to Duke very speculatively, and even Duke asked about her age cryptically.
Perhaps compared to ordinary high school students, Princess Victoria is smart and sophisticated enough, but in front of Duke, she is just a girl under the age of 18 who is a little smart and socially experienced.
The two of them walked towards the less crowded terrace as they spoke, though Princess Victoria's attendant had been following not far behind. But Duke ignored them at all, and kept talking about topics that Her Royal Highness was very interested in.
"It's not easy to be an actor, especially someone like Tom who is recognized as an acting school."
During the temptation just now, Duke had learned that she liked Tom very much? Hanks, so he didn't hesitate to pull up Big Tom's tiger skin.
Walked to the terrace. Standing in front of the railing, Duke looked at her and asked, "Remember a scene in the film where Captain Miller cries silently?" β
"Remember!" Princess Victoria quickly nodded, "Mr. Hanks' acting skills are really good!" β
"In order to play this scene well," Duke changed into a mysterious tone, moved a little closer, and said in a low voice in the girl's ear, "Tom has put a lot of effort into it, I heard Colin say that Tom's eldest son, he said that Tom often sat alone and shed tears during the Christmas holidays in order to practice this scene, and when it came time to shoot, the camera ended, and Tom's tears never stopped for five minutes!" β
"Oh my God, he worked so hard."
Princess Victoria stepped back slightly, as if she was following the etiquette and distancing herself from Duke, but after Duke said the secret, he immediately took the initiative to distance himself, as if he had just shared the secret with a good friend.
"If there is a chance in the future." Princess Victoria seems to have a little yearning, after all, looking at that circle from a distance, it always looks particularly glamorous, "I really want to go to Hollywood." β
Duke duly answered, "I can introduce you to Hollywood." β
In fact, he knows very well that this kind of thing means that after all, the status of the crown prince is not comparable to that of the British princess of Wales, and he will act more cautiously.
Of course, if the crown prince of Sweden can be involved with Hollywood, then the media in Europe and the United States should thank him.
"It's a pleasure to talk to you."
After the attendants in the back came to remind her, Princess Victoria took the initiative to extend her hand to Duke, "It's not too early, I have to rush back to the school in Paris, and I must leave." β
"Paris?" Duke shook her hand gently, "The crew will go to Paris next week to promote, I don't know ......"
Princess Victoria understood what Duke meant, leaned closer, whispered a string of numbers, and said, "I can show you a tour of the Seine." β
After the Normandy landing anniversary, "Saving Private Ryan" entered the main box office market in Europe, from England to Ireland, from France to Germany, from Sweden to Italy, the film almost occupied nearly sixty percent of the mainstream theater screen, and the huge publicity also set off a movie-watching boom in Europe.
Just like the propaganda in North America, veterans who participated in World War II are also the top priority of European propaganda, and many veterans from Britain and France have sung praises for the film. The main cast and crew, led by Hanks, made frequent public appearances and attended various promotional activities to build momentum for the film's release in the European market.
Many tabloids from Fleet Street were deeply influenced by News Corp., and in a short period of time, they focused entirely on the crew, constantly poking out the gossip scandals of the cast and crew of the crew, so as to attract the attention of this country that can be called the world's number one gossip chengdΓΉ.
As the film spent its first weekend in Europe, it also attracted the attention of many European directors.
"The media can't wait for Duke? Rosenberg sings praises to the fact that he has produced a landmark work in war films. β
Lay the coffee cup down heavily, let? Pierre? "No matter how touching the humanistic care of the film is, and no matter how realistic the war scenes are, it can't hide the fact that this is a purely commercial film, Duke? Rosenberg is just a part of the vulgar Hollywood assembly line, and "Saving Private Ryan" is just an extension of his destructive and commercial methods! β
"Jean makes sense!"
In the cafΓ©, several French directors gathered, and some of them chimed in, "Duke? Rosenberg and his Hollywood don't know what art is! β
"Don't forget, Hollywood has taken over 90 percent of Europe's market share!"
The big fat man sitting in the corner is none other than Luc, who was ostracized by the European film circle? Besson, "I just got the latest number of 'Saving Private Ryan', $16.65 million in the third weekend in North America, and a total of $191.12 million at the North American box office!" $7.89 million in the first week in the United Kingdom, $6.87 million in France, $8.52 million in Germany, $4.21 million in Spain, and $4.11 million in Australia...... The overseas box office exceeded $60 million in the first week! β
The cafΓ© fell into a brief silence, Luc? Besson looked at these low-eyed companions and continued, "Duke? Isn't it a hint that Rosenberg is only 25 years old, but his films have taken the world by storm? Can't European cinema learn something from him? Are we going to cede the European market to Hollywood entirely? β
Luc? Besson's words resonated with a few people, but many more shook their heads, clearly disapproving of the big fat man's words.
"Learn Duke? Rosenberg and Hollywood? β
Finally, the oldest in the field, Jean? Pierre? Genet broke the silence with a deep disdain in his tone, "Let business and money stain the noble art of film? Luc, you've been in Hollywood for a while......"
Listening to the other party's tirade about art, Luc? Besson lazily said anything, the art in the eyes of these people is actually to take off! Is the so-called disdain for Hollywood movies really disdainful?
For example, this one keeps saying that he looks down on Duke? Rosenberg and Hollywood's Jean? Pierre? Genet, who just accepted the invitation some time ago, is going to Hollywood to direct "Alien 4", is this also for art? Can he make an alien into a literary film?
Or, he wants the alien and the heroine to have a ......
Thinking of this, Luc? Besson shook his head slowly, stood up and walked towards the outside of the cafΓ©, not looking back, in his opinion, there is such a group of directors in European cinema who have the right to speak, and the future will only continue to weaken, and even get closer and closer to the death line.
"Saving Private Ryan" spent its first weekend in overseas markets, and Duke led the crew to Paris. (To be continued......)
