The banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel is full of people, due to the relationship of time, few people from the Australian gang in Hollywood have come here, but some local celebrities in Sydney have been invited by Warner Bros. Australia, and many Hollywood stars who have filmed in Sydney have also entered the hotel one after another.

Tom? Cruise and Nicole? The Kidmans are one of them, one of them is filming "Mission Impossible 2" on the Fox set, and the other is on vacation in Sydney.

"Hi, Kate."

"Hi, Nicole."

Seeing where Duke was standing, the two of them immediately walked over, Nicole? Kidman apparently with Kate? Blanchett is familiar.

Don't you look at those two intimate sisterly women, Duke and Tom? Cruise stood together and asked, "Filming should be almost over, right?" ”

"There are two weeks left at most before you can move to post-production."

Speaking of which, Tom? Cruise said with a hint of gratitude, "Duke, I want to thank you for your advice. ”

"Huh?" Duke didn't quite understand.

"Thank you for opening the sequel to "Mission Impossible" and rejecting "Eyes Opener". Tom? Cruise glanced at Nicole next to him? Kidman, turning his gaze back again, "Stanley? Kubrick to his death did not finish his last film. ”

"It's a shame."

Although it is said in lip service, but for Stanley? Kubrick or something, Duke didn't feel it, and he didn't react in particular when he heard the news, "So, Tom, you made a wise choice, one that is good for all of us." ”

"What to choose?" Kate? Blanchett asked suddenly.

She and Nicole ended their greetings with a smile and returned to Duke and Tom respectively? Cruise's side.

"Movies, of course." Duke turned his head and smiled at her, "How could the topic we talk about leave the movie?" ”

He simply to Kate? Blanchett explained. The atmosphere between the two seemed unusually harmonious.

Someone came over to say hello, Duke and Tom? Cruise exchanged a few words of greeting with each other, and after sending them away, Cruise turned the conversation to the sequel to "Mission Impossible".

"The director you recommended is very good." He seems to be quite satisfied with Wu Baige, "His gunfight scenes, especially the design of the double guns, are very distinctive. I like it very much, and I feel that the box office table of this film is xiàn......"

Hear Tom? Cruise's praise for Wu Baige, Duke does not feel strange, after the tempering of "Broken Arrow" and "Changing Face", Wu Baige's grasp of Hollywood is clearer, and to put it bluntly, Tom? Cruise's temperament is also more in line with his requirements, from a certain point of view. is also closer to the cool and handsome appearance of an actor surnamed Zhou.

Tom in "Mission Impossible 2"? Cruise, it can be said that it is a super enhanced version of the actor surnamed Zhou.

"Duke, Wu's agent is in contact with my manufacturing company."

Tom? Cruise is still continuing the topic just now, "He wants to get the director's contract for Wu in "Mission Impossible 3". ”

"What do you mean, Tom?" Duke asked rhetorically.

He holds nearly half of the copyright of the film, and if he doesn't nod his head and agree, "Mission Impossible 3" will not be able to determine the director, and it will be impossible to establish a project.

Nicole? Kidman pulled Cruise. Suddenly, he took over, "Pat doesn't think he's suitable. Wu's style is too distinctive, easy to trigger aesthetic fatigue, and ......"

Although the latter sentence was not said, Duke could understand the meaning, there are small circles in any big circle, and there are differences in regions, skin colors, and so on. It's not a matter of shouting a few slogans and making a few successful movies that can completely offset it.

"Tom, this even filming is not finished yet, my opinion." Duke thought for a moment. said, "This matter is put on hold for the time being, if the film is successful, Wu's invitation will definitely not be less, and we also have the time and opportunity to observe his subsequent development." ”

This is the safest way, Tom? Cruise didn't mean to object either.

Finished talking about Mission Impossible, Tom? Mr. and Mrs. Cruise went somewhere else to socialize, and Duke walked around the ballroom, briefly greeted the guests, and then found Kate? Blanchett, sitting at the small dining table, walked over again.

"You don't have to stay with me all the time."

See Duke sitting across from him, Kate? "I like to be quiet, just sit here," Blanchett said. ”

"You're the one tonight." Duke looked at her and said.

Blanchett smiled slightly, and immediately changed the subject, "When I first arrived in Hollywood, I heard many people in the circle mention that you and Cruise ......"

"That was before." Duke asked for two glasses of champagne and a glass with Blanchett, "Now it's good for me and him to work together, and those little conflicts are not a problem." ”

"If it's Mel? What about Gibson? Blanchett asked casually.

Duke put down his glass and looked at Blanchett, as if trying to see what she meant.

Kate? Blanchett hurriedly said, "Duke, I didn't mean anything else, but I suddenly thought of Mel? Gibson, I saw him from afar near the neighborhood when I got off the plane home yesterday. ”

"Oh?" Duke retracted his gaze and asked with interest, "I haven't heard from him for a long time, do you know what he's been up to lately?" ”

"I've heard people talk about it." Kate? Blanchett recalled, "He didn't get any film deals in Hollywood, and he didn't even want to use him for B films and independent films, so he went back to Australia for a while, and occasionally appeared on a couple of Sydney TV shows." ”

"Looks like he's having a good life?" Duke smiled.

Mel? Gibson's future in Hollywood is definitely over, and even if he can appear in Hollywood in the future, he will no longer be able to enter the mainstream film industry, and can only play some small roles.

The two said a few more words, Nancy? Joseph came over with a middle-aged man.

"Duke, let me introduce you."

Walking over to the table, she introduced the two sides, "This is Jon, the president of the Australian Tennis Association?" Mr. Strypan. Jon, is this Duke? Director Rosenberg, this is Kate? Miss Blanchett. ”

The two sides shook hands, said a few simple greetings, and sat around the table.

Nancy asked for a glass of wine for each of the four of them, and without going around in circles, she said directly to Duke, "Jon is one of the directors of the next Australian Open, and he would like to invite you to some public events at next year's Australian Open. ”

"Oh, thank you." Duke vs. Jon? Stryfan nodded.

"We sincerely invite you to participate, director Rosenberg." Stryfan could tell that Duke was more polite, so he added, "We are also planning to hold a celebrity tennis tournament during the Australian Open next year, where celebrities will pair up with some famous tennis players who are willing to participate in some charity matches." ”

He looked sincere, seemed very urgent, very sincere.

Duke saw that Nancy was nodding slightly at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Jon, I can't give you a definite answer right now, I want to see the schedule. ”

"We look forward to your participation."

Jon? Stryfan held out his right hand to this side, and Duke shook it on it, "I also love tennis, and I hope to participate in some charity activities to help those in need." ”

What kind of occasion, what kind of person to say, for Duke, it is simply easy.

The Australian Open doesn't start until late January, and it's only November, and Duke isn't sure if he'll have time to do so, so he can only give a clear answer as the New Year approaches.

The sound of high heels falling to the ground sounded, Kate? Blanchett glanced at where the voice had come from, then suddenly stood up and said to Duke, "I'll go to the break room to touch up my makeup." ”

It was clear that she didn't want to meet with people who came by.

Kate? Blanchet had just left, and Naomi in a goose-yellow tuxedo? Watts sat next to Duke.

"It's been a long time, Duke." She said with a smile.

The two were extremely familiar, and Duke was not polite to her, asking, "When did you come over, why didn't I see you?" ”

"There was a traffic jam on the road, and I just arrived." Her gaze crossed Duke and landed on the distant back, "That's Blanchett, right?" ”

"What happened between you?"

Although the Australian Gang advances and retreats together on major matters, there are definitely many contradictions in private.

"It's just that there are a few disputes over a few characters."

Naomi now? Watts is in high spirits, full of the pride and confidence of a big star, "I've only beaten her a few times." ”

Duke was not interested in the competition between these actresses, and instead asked, "Will your "King Kong" be released next year?" ”

"Next year's summer file." Naomi? Watts sent an invitation to Duke, "If you have time, would you like to cheer me on for my premiere?" ”

With that, she stood up and gave Duke a charming smile, "I'm going to say hi to Nancy and Warner's guys and we'll talk later." ”

Wait for Naomi? Watts left, Duke also got up, and walked to the other side, not far away were several lounges connected to the banquet hall, Kate? Blanchett had just walked into the room on the far left.

Coming to the lounge, Duke knocked lightly on the door, then pushed the door and walked in. Blanchett turned his back to the doorway, as if looking in the mirror, and he went straight over and stood behind the chair she was sitting in.

"Dear ......"

He bent down and pressed his lips close to Blanchett's white ear, "You look glamorous enough." ”

"Really?" Kate? Blanchett pulled a lip gloss out of her bag.

"Of course."

As he spoke, Duke tentatively kissed her on the ear, and seeing Blanchett shake his head, but there was no obvious resistance, he couldn't help but stretch out a hand, gently wrenched her face, and kissed the flaming red lips without hesitation. (To be continued......)
