ICM, the international innovation management brokerage, is one of the top five brokerages in North America, and if Duke remembers correctly, Julia Roberts, now and in the future, has been a sign-up client for quite some time.

No wonder Naomi Watts was so lucky, instead of being thrown away by a super thigh like him, he was hugged with an equally thick thigh......

"Together, right? My car is also in the underground parking lot. ”

Seeing Dukla open the door to the lounge, Naomi Watts hurriedly said.

She hurriedly packed her bag, and without waiting for Duke to speak, she followed, and walked into the elevator with him.

Duke knew this man, Barty Henry of the New York Daily News, one of the most famous film critics invited by Twentieth Century Fox.

The professional film critic didn't mean to talk to Duke, just nodded to him, walked around to Naomi Watts on the other side, and said politely, "Hello, Miss Watts, have you considered the advice I mentioned in the afternoon?" ”

"I'm sorry......" Naomi Watts suddenly took a step closer, "I...... I haven't figured it out yet. ”

"Miss Watts......" the other party took another step closer, "this is a circle of mutual help, and my advice is also the best shortcut." ”

He took another step forward, taking advantage of his height to look at Naomi Watts condescendingly, with a faint threat in his eyes.

"Please ......"

Naomi Watts was interrupted by him before he could finish speaking, "You haven't been in Hollywood for long, and you probably don't understand the importance of opportunity. ”

Hearing this, Duke roughly understood something, and saw Naomi Watts, who had repeatedly retreated because she was worried about the opponent's pen, took a slight step forward, blocked her behind his back, and also took advantage of the height advantage of the other party, and said condescendingly, "You are too rude, Mr. Henry!" It's public. ”

"Did I do anything?" Barty Henry's nonchalant expression said, "I just wanted to invite Miss Watts for a cup of coffee." ”

Turning his head slightly, Duke looked at Naomi Watts, he was naturally not stupid enough to make a decision for her, it was her private matter after all.

Actors who want to become famous are naturally vulnerable in the face of these film critics who can criticize people as worthless, and Naomi Watts declined with a little weakness, "Mr. Rosenberg asked me to have dinner with me." ”

Then, she threw an apologetic look at Duke.

With the crisp chime, the elevator door opened, and Naomi Watts hurried inside, and when Duke followed the elevator, she immediately pressed the close button, leaving Mr. Critic, who felt so good, outside the elevator.

The elevator quickly reached the basement parking lot, and when he got out, Duke walked straight to where his Chevrolet was parked, and Naomi Watts followed from behind.

"My car is over here, too." She pointed to a red Ford in the distance, hesitated, and said, "Thank you, Duke." ”

"It's just a small thing." Duke didn't really care.

This kind of thing is countless in Hollywood, and in today's era when the media is not open, people who hold the right to speak in the media, such as film critics, are also the objects that actors need to please, and it is not uncommon for people who are willing to pay a special price for a proper review article.

In the final analysis, this is Naomi Watts' own choice, if she doesn't refuse, Duke won't stop it, everyone has the right to choose the path they want to take, as long as they can set foot on the top floor of Hollywood, who cares about the black history of the past.

"Really, I'm so grateful to you for helping me out."

Naomi Watts is now more sincere than before, "He pestered me in the afternoon. ”

"Does your agent know about this?"

Duke slowed down slightly, turned his head and said, "You'd better inform her......"

"I told her that afternoon." Naomi Watts sighed, "She let me choose. ”

What a standard broker-style answer. Duke could only sigh like this, he felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little heavy, so he simply changed his tone to a half-serious and half-joking tone, "Nami, you made a difficult but correct choice. ”

Not many actresses who dream of fame can turn down such a deal, considering that the New York Daily News, which publishes Barty Henry's column, is one of the top 10 newspapers in the country.

In Hollywood, actresses have a shelf life, and the time of this period is much shorter than that of male actors, it is not too much to describe actresses with the phrase early to become famous, Nancy's thoughts are easy to understand, she signed Naomi Watts, definitely not because of the present, but because she is optimistic about her future, if Naomi can become famous earlier and bring her benefits, then why stop it?

"Maybe it's a decision that will disappoint Nancy." Naomi Watts doesn't look like a.

It was not too early, the two waved goodbye, and Duke drove out of the underground parking lot in a Chevrolet, dodging several congested streets, and gradually leaving the confines of Beverly Hills.

Putting down the window glass next to the driver's seat, the cool evening breeze immediately poured into the car, and Duke's groggy mind was instantly sobered up a lot by the afternoon preview screening, and he unconsciously thought of Naomi Watts, and his still bright head turned twice, and then realized that he was a fool.

Sure enough, few women in Hollywood are simple characters.

According to his speculation, Nancy Josephson left after receiving the phone call, giving Naomi Watts the choice, and there was a clear inclination in his heart...... As for Miss Watts, it is highly likely that she knew that Barty Henry was waiting for her answer in the elevator room, and from the moment she met him in the lounge, she had thought of a strategy to block the arrow, and she hurriedly packed her bags and followed, and said 'Duke asked her for dinner'.

The advantage of this is obvious, she can try not to offend Barty Henry, who has some media discourse, and turn a lot of his anger after his rejection to the shield.

A woman who is very smart and knows how to protect herself......

Thinking of this, Duke couldn't help but shake his head and smile, the other world always uses scheming to smear female stars, but in the Hollywood circle, can a woman without scheming come out?

Although this is all speculation, Duke doesn't think he should be wrong.

When he got home, it was completely dark, Duke parked the car and walked into the brightly lit living room, where his mother was wearing glasses and sitting on the sofa reading something carefully, and there was a thick stack of materials on the coffee table in front of him.

"Mommy......" Duke said hello and sat down across from him.

"What were the test screenings?" Lady Leah looked up slightly and looked at him.

"The audience's reputation is very good, and I heard Robin say that the overall reputation should be above A."

Grabbing a copy from the coffee table, Duke flipped through it and said, "Twentieth Century Fox initially intends to increase the pre-screening publicity cost to $1 million, but it will not be decided until after careful analysis." ”

"Caution is what it should be." Lady Leah's gaze returned to the materials she was looking through.

Duke also glanced at the one in his hand and asked curiously, "Is this a new business in Santa Fea?" ”

"It doesn't belong to Santa Fea yet." Mrs. Leah didn't raise her head, and said succinctly, "It's a new business that the company is competing for. ”

"Cosmetics? Estee Lauder? Duke quickly saw the logo on the information, "It turned out to be a youthful morning dew perfume." ”

Although he doesn't know much about cosmetics, Duke also knows that although it is not as good as Chanel No. 5, it is also one of the top perfume brands in the world, and it is also the signature product of Estee Lauder.

Probably seeing Duke's rare concern for Santa Fea's business, Mrs. Leah, who once wanted him to take over, simply introduced a few words, "Youth Chaolu has just changed the spokesperson and wants to make a new advertisement, Santa Fea is competing, and it is very promising to win this business." ”

Although he wanted to help, Duke gave up after thinking about it, he didn't know anything about the advertising industry, and "Life and Death" was released soon, if the screening was smooth and the film could be released on a large scale in North America, he would definitely have to follow the crew everywhere to promote it, and he wouldn't have so much time.

"If I can get this business next month."

Just as Duke was about to go upstairs, Mrs. Leah reminded, "I might be in New York for a while until the shoot is over." ”

"I see, Mom." Duke looked back up the stairs, "I'll be visiting New York then." ”

Seeing his mother's hand waving gently in this direction, Duke turned and walked towards the second floor, went back to his room to take a shower, went to the studio next door, moved the typewriter to the small round table on the balcony, and tapped the keys as he thought.

Judging from the current shape, "Speed of Life and Death" is gradually getting on the right track, if the film can be successful, then the second filming plan will naturally be on the agenda, and the script must be completed as soon as possible.

Moreover, Duke has other ideas, after the release of "Speed of Life and Death", he also has the capital to join the Screenwriters Guild, so that he can record the written script with the Copyright Office and the Screenwriters Guild, so as to completely occupy the advantage of time, and also infinitely reduce the possibility of future crashes.

After he went to the Screenwriters Guild last time to check it, he set a rough shooting plan for himself after "Life and Death", and getting a few scripts out in advance will undoubtedly reduce the risk.

If he writes it himself, it will be a huge workload, Hollywood-style scripts pay attention to assembly line work, some people are responsible for writing action scenes, some people are responsible for writing love scenes, and some people are responsible for writing dialogue, all Duke wants to do is to find one or two assistants to assist him in writing the script behind.

However, this is also in a hurry, just like looking for a personal assistant, he needs money, he doesn't have that much money now, these plans will have to wait until the rest of the remuneration for "Life and Death" is in hand, although his $100,000 only accounts for one-hundred-and-fifty of the total investment of $15 million, if the film is a big hit, he can also get some money.
