"Erin wants to introduce a friend of hers as an assistant director."

A black sedan was making its way through crowded Manhattan, and Mrs. Leah said to Duke, who was sitting next to her, "The other man spent some time on Broadway and Hollywood." Of course, this is just one of Erin's ......"

"As long as she meets my basic requirements."

Duke has no intention of refusing, and sometimes favors under the rules are unavoidable, "Mom, my team is still on vacation, and I can only use the filming team of Santa Fea." ”

"No problem." Lady Leah nodded.

In addition to the director, Santa Fea was in charge of other advertising matters, and Duke said a few more words to his mother, and said to the female assistant in the co-pilot, "Tina, remember to contact Lily on Broadway?" Ms. Fred, try your best to confirm the time of meeting. ”

Lily? Fred and her team were the cabaret instructors that ICM found for Duke.

The car quickly stopped in front of the Lauder Companies' office building, and this time flew from Los Angeles to New York, where Duke had to fulfill the advertising director contract he had signed with the Lauder Companies in addition to visiting his mother.

Walking into the Lauder Building, under the leadership of his mother, Duke and others went directly to the brand image promotion department on the seventh floor, and it was Erin who was responsible for receiving them? Lauder and the head of this department.

There are also the heroes and heroines in this advertisement.

The advertising script Duke was passed to the Lauder Group as early as last month, and according to the script, the advertisement needs two protagonists, male and female, and the heroine will be Elizabeth, the spokesperson of Lauder? Hurley played, and the actor was Leonardo found by Santa Fea? DiCaprio.

"I didn't expect us to work together again so soon."

Hearing Leonardo's words, Duke gently patted him on the shoulder, Xiao Li benefited a lot from "Saving Private Ryan", not only has a high-grossing movie as capital, but his PR and agent are still in contact with the producer and distributor. wants to fight for a Best Supporting Actor.

Erin who smiled and nodded at him? Lauder nodded, and Duke asked in a low voice, "Leo, I heard you're with James?" Cameron's new project negotiations? ”

"The agreement has been initialed."

Now Leonardo is very good at being a person, and he has no intention of hiding it, "If there are no accidents." I will be the male lead in Cameron's new film. ”

Duke said half-jokingly, "Before you join the crew, buy a high-cost insurance first." ”

"That's what I planned." Leonardo chuckled.

After True Lies, James? Cameron's reputation as a tyrant on the set has spread far and wide, and he is not only demanding of the actors, but also of himself, and there is a news that has been widely circulated in Hollywood, during the filming of the scene of the Miami Bridge Across the Sea, Cameron asked the heroine Jamie? Plum? Curtis himself came to the field and hung under the flying helicopter. When the angry actress confronts him what he does, Cameron directly replies that he will hang on his seat belt outside the helicopter and personally shoot her from above.

And in the end, these two crazy guys, just that's what they did.

I have to say that successful directors have no luck to speak of, and if they want to achieve results that are difficult for others to achieve, they often have to put in efforts that others can't imagine.

People from other relevant departments of the Lauder Group are arriving one after another. The pre-conference on advertising kicked off, after Lauder briefly explained the funding and scheduling plans. Duke also spoke of some simple requests.

"For the shoot, I borrowed Times Square and a building facing the heart of Manhattan." His eyes turned to Elizabeth? Hurley, "The costumes, accessories and styling of the heroine had to meet my requirements, and the shoot would take no more than three days, and I wanted Lauder to prepare in advance." ”

From Elizabeth? Hurley retracted her gaze, Duke wasn't very happy with the spokesperson for the Lauder Group. She is more than sexy and not noble enough, but the other party is the spokesperson of the Lauder Group, and it is impossible to abandon her.

"And ......," Duke looked at the two protagonists, "Leo." Miss Hurley, rehearsed the play before filming started, and tried her best to find a feeling. ”

The preparatory meeting lasted until the end of the day, and just after the meeting ended, Duke was ready to meet up with his mother, Erin? Lauder walked over.

"Thank you for your hospitality last time in Los Angeles."

She hugged Wen Jiàn and stood opposite Duke, "Now that you're in New York, I don't know if it's an honor to invite you to dinner?" ”

It was just an ordinary business banquet, and Duke had no reason to refuse, "It should be my honor." ”

Erin? Lauder looked at her watch, "Fifteen minutes later, we'll see you at Mattia's restaurant on the first floor, is that okay?" ”

With Irene? Lauder shakes hands and says goodbye, and Duke finds Tina? Fei called her mother, then went down to the first floor, went to the bathroom to tidy up her clothes a little, and sat in the lobby for another five minutes before passing through the side door and turning into the Mattia restaurant that she had agreed to.

Finding a window seat, Duke waited less than two minutes before he saw Erin in a professional dress? Lauder walked over with a professional smile on her face and sat down across from her after Duke stood up to help her pull out her chair.

"That's all." Duke closed the recipe and handed it to the waiter, "Thank you." ”

The two of them didn't order much, although they were not actors or models, but as a fashionista from a luxury family group, Erin? Lauder was also on a diet, ordering only two vegetables and fruits.

"In the past, when I went to the theater to watch your movie, I would always come here to eat."

Erin now? Lauder barely saw the almost crazy fascination with movies a few years ago, "but then I joined the company and found that the number of the clothes had all changed, the number two had already become the fourth, and the zero had also become the second. ”

"I think you're pretty standard." Duke put down the teacup in his hand and praised without hesitation, "Not inferior to many Hollywood actresses." ”

Tilting his head slightly, he looked at Erin with appreciation? Lauder, Duke said, "Visually you're five feet eight inches tall, right?" If it's too thin, it will ruin the overall beauty of the present. ”

From an angle that Duke couldn't see, Erin pursed her lips slightly, this explosive maniac would know how to appreciate beauty? It's almost as bad as destroying beauty.

Unbeknownst to Duke, the brown-haired woman across from him was watching people in a movie, continued, "Personally, the thinness that is now prevalent in the fashion industry is a completely morbid beauty that destroys the natural beauty that God has given to human beings, and it's not good for health. ”

"I don't think so." Erin? Lauder clearly disagreed with Duke's words, "As the saying goes, there are no ugly women in this world, only lazy women." A lot of beauty is artificially retouched, like the work I do now, like the products made by the Lauder Group. Duke, if most people only pursue natural beauty, as you say, then there is no need for brands such as Estee Lauder and Chanel to save zài. ”

The waiter brought the meal at this time, Erin gave a tip, looked at Duke, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and said, "You don't like it, just because it doesn't fit your aesthetics." ”

"Aesthetic?" Duke picked up the knife and fork and asked in surprise, "Do you know my aesthetic?" ”

"Of course."

Erin? Lauder laughed, as if she were a beautiful brown-haired fox, "Have you forgotten?" I'm a big fan of yours, and from the films you make, you can see some of your preferences when it comes to women. ”

"Did you ask my mom again?" Duke looked at her warily, he knew that the other party had a good relationship with his mother.

"I just got to know Aunt Leah a little bit from the side." Erin? Lauder put away her smile, as if she was afraid that Duke would misunderstand, and said seriously, "I like your movies, I just want to know what the directors who can produce those movies are usually like, in fact, Aunt Leah didn't say much." ”

"And what do you think my aesthetic for women is?"

Hearing Duke's question, Erin? Lauder thought for a moment and gave the answer, "Blonde, tall, sexy, huh...... Just like those angel models of Victoria's Secret. ”

"I didn't find out until now." Duke swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a slight exaggeration, "Erin, it turns out that you are the one who knows me best. ”

Erin? Lauder's face, I don't know when, was replaced with a sincere smile, "Didn't someone say that fans are the ones who know idols best." ”

"You've told me before that all you love is my movies." Duke also laughed, "Also, fans are the ones who can't see the true face of their idols. ”

As time passed, the strangeness between the two of them gradually disappeared because they had not seen each other for a long time, and they regained the distance on the Los Angeles pie, occasionally talking about some topics of common interest, and chuckling like familiar friends.

"The assistant director I recommend is Anna."

The conversation shifted to the upcoming commercial, and Erin also talked about the assistant director, "Remember her? I told you about it at the premiere of Saving Private Ryan. ”

Duke nodded, "As long as she's okay." ”

If the other party's professional ability is above the level line, Duke will definitely sell this favor, if the ability is not up to par, even if it is Erin? The people introduced by Lauder, he will not use them.

"You know, Duke," said Erin, putting down her knife and fork, picking up a napkin and wiping her mouth, "there were still people who opposed you as the director of the advertising campaign, but after seeing your script, especially the advertising slogan, they all dismissed the original opposition. ”

"How can I be so attractive?" Duke wondered.

"The last advertising slogan is actually very moving."

A little reminiscence, Erin? "It's not a journey, there's always an end to it, but we'll keep going," Lauder said in a low, magnetic voice. The world is turning, and so are we, when the plan disappears, the dream becomes the master, wherever I go, there is you! My luck, my destiny, Estee Lauder's youthful dew, irreplaceable! ”

After dinner, Duke will Erin? Lauder was sent home and returned to her mother's apartment to prepare for the rest of the campaign and shoot. (To be continued......)
