Chapter 420: Duke's side
"Daddy wants to come too,"
Walking down the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel, Ivanka? Trump told Duke, "But he gave up because he thought of how miserable he died in the film." ā
It was obviously a joke, and Duke didn't care, casually saying, "I'm glad you came." ā
As the two approached the banquet hall where the pie was held, Ivanka suddenly called out to Duke, straightened his bow tie for him a little, looked up and down again, and then smiled with satisfaction.
"Among Hollywood directors," she smiled, "you're sure to be in the top five just by your looks." ā
"I thought I could be number one."
Duke walked towards the door of the ballroom, and Ivanka followed, a hand expertly placed in the crook of his arm.
Before the two arrived at the door, a staff member had already opened the door of the banquet hall, and as soon as they entered, they heard a warm applause in the banquet hall, the applause was not as surging as in the theater, but it was also endless, from the senior management of Warner Bros., to the representatives of the North American Theater Alliance, to all the members of the crew, they were applauding Duke!
"The Fellowship of the Ring" was a big hit, and Warner Bros. and the Duke's studio were the most direct beneficiaries.
But the profit that a super-hit movie can generate will be pooled into all aspects related to the film.
Actors, theaters, peripheral manufacturers, etc., they are also the beneficiaries of the big sale of "The Fellowship of the Ring"!
Christopher? Rokencourt stood in the corner of the banquet hall, and he was slowly clapping his palms, he looked at Duke's eyes very brightly, this is the guarantee of his future life!
The directorial contract signed by the other party is not a secret in Hollywood, take "The Fellowship of the Ring" as an example, it is a base salary of $15 million plus a share of box office and peripheral revenue, and now the global box office of "The Fellowship of the Ring" is advancing to $1.1 billion. Peripheral sales exceeded $500 million, even if you don't count his shares in Duke Studios and Warner Bros., how much can the director's income be taken away?
Maintaining a smile and a congratulatory expression, but quietly clenching his teeth, Christopher? Rokencourt is well aware of even the most conservative estimates. Duke? Rosenberg is only the first part, and he can also get about 200 million dollars in revenue!
This is the real top Hollywood director! If James? Cameron will not come out again, all Hollywood, from actors to directors to producers, I am afraid that no one's commercial income can surpass him!
Even if he never engages in commercial endorsements!
Look at Duke who is surrounded by countless people, and then look at only one Jessica? Alba's self by his side, Christopher? Rokencourt couldn't help but sigh that he and he entered Hollywood almost at the same time, and he spent nearly ten years and countless thoughts. is trembling, and now has a net worth of tens of millions.
And what about the other side?
In the same ten years, the net worth should be conservatively estimated to be one billion dollars, right?
Thinking of this, Christopher? Rokencourt strengthened his determination, the other party was so rich, he just took a small amount of it.
"Let's go, let's go say hi to Duke."
Christopher? Roken Cowade with Jessica? Alba walked towards Duke, but when he got closer, he couldn't get close for a moment. There were so many people around Duke who wanted to socialize that they couldn't squeeze in. All you can hear is the compliments coming from the crowd.
"Duke, AMG assures that the Fellowship of the Ring will run through next year's Oscars."
Talking to Christopher? Rokencourt knew, it was Lynch, vice president of AMG Cinemas, "When "The Two Towers" is released, AMG will come up with at least 1,500 theaters and 3,500 screens! ā
The voice had just fallen. Christopher? Through the gap between the crowd, Rokencourt saw the CEO of Emperor Entertainment, the largest theater company in North America, speak, and his words were full of confidence.
"Emperor Entertainment will show "The Two Towers" in 1,800 theaters and no less than 4,000 screens! Duke, the entire Imperial Entertainment Group is looking forward to the release of this film. ā
"There will be at least 500 theaters in the U.S. artist theater ......"
"Tracy Cinema Chain Company ......"
One by one. represents a chain of cinema companies, and these people are almost crazy for "The Two Towers"!
Ten years into Hollywood, Christopher? Rokencourt is also a very experienced person, but he has never seen such a scene, and the theater company can't wait to put his face on Duke? Rosenberg's upper.
With Christopher? Rokencourt is different, Jessica? Alba's eyes were always fixed on Duke's side, it was a tall blonde girl, she stood quietly beside Duke, showing a reserved smile, except for the necessary greetings, it seemed that she didn't say anything, but even if she didn't speak, she was the focus of attention!
Because she stood in Duke? Rosenberg's side!
Christopher in your hands? Rokencourt's arm, Jessica? Alba's mind was not on him, she was fantasizing, if standing in Duke? How nice would it be if the blonde girl next to Rosenberg was replaced by her?
Then she will be the center of attention in the ballroom, the object of attention of all Hollywood executives, the center point of Hollywood and the world!
As long as she can stand in Duke? Rosenberg next to him! She can have the attention of the whole world with a light yƬ!
Slanted eyes from Christopher? Rokencourt crossed over, Jessica? Alba instantly made up her mind that when that big project started to work, she would have to kick Christopher after she became the heroine? Rokencourt.
Where can that blonde girl compare to her except that she is a little taller?
"Honey, let's go."
The people in front are decreasing, Christopher? Rokencourt and Jessica? Alba couldn't wait to walk in front of Duke.
"Hi, Duke."
"Hi, Chris."
Seeing the French count who was about to cooperate, Duke showed his best acting skills, and greeted him neither affectionately nor detached, and the woman next to him suddenly stretched out her hand to him, "Hello, Director Rosenberg, we meet again." ā
"Hello, Miss Alba."
Christopher? Rokencourt waiting for Duke and Jessica? Alba shook hands and looked at Ivanka? Trump, with a slight smile, said, "Duke, don't you want to introduce me?" ā
"Chris, this is my friend Ivanka? Miss Trump, she's from New York. Evie, this is Christopher? Mr. Rokencourt, a man of the system; This is Jessica? Miss Alba......"
Although Ivanka didn't talk much before, she knew when to do what kind of things, shaking hands with two people one by one, and socializing was not difficult for a person like her.
Duke's eyes turned from Ivanka, and she couldn't fault the slightest fault with her tonight's appearance, reserved, reserved, reserved, and confident, and at the right time, the words that came out of her mouth must have been the most appropriate.
Her manners and family upbringing were simply impeccable.
With Duke's family background and his mother's strict education since childhood, he will naturally have a good impression of such a person, and the kind of person who cannot distinguish the situation when entering this kind of occasion, and shows his personality with special exceptions and absurd behaviors, will not only become a laughing stock himself, but also the people around him and the family behind him will become the object of ridicule from others.
It's very simple, Duke himself, he can not care about what others think of him, but he can't care about the reputation of the Rosenberg family and his mother.
The kind of guy who wears fancy clothes in such a public place, eats and drinks, and can't wait to tell the audience that Lao Tzu disdains to be with you, not to talk about whether he respects himself or others, at least he doesn't respect his family and parents.
When someone accuses a person of being uneducated, it's not about himself!
However, Duke has participated in so many public factions, and he has not met much of that kind of person, even Drew? Barrymore and Johnny? Depp, a guy who behaves absurdly and perversely in private, knows how to maintain basic etiquette.
"Hi, Duke."
Someone next to him came over to say hello, Duke turned his head and stepped forward a few steps to greet Charlize in a silver-white evening gown? Theron walked over generously and said with a smile, "It's been a long time, don't you want to be in charge of the crew of "The Matrix" anymore?" I haven't been to Australia since April. ā
"Because I have faith in Zach." As soon as Duke shook her outstretched hand lightly, he saw Zack? Schneider also walked over, and the other party came closer, didn't say anything, and gave him a hug.
"Congratulations, Duke!"
After separation, Zach? Schneider smiled and said, "Congratulations on crossing $1 billion!" ā
"There's credit to you in there, too."
The two have been friends for nearly ten years, and they don't need to say anything, Zach? Schneider briefly talked about the situation of the crew, and asked, "What about Anna?" Why didn't you see her? ā
"It should be here, she was with Wallace just now? Lee came over to say hello to me. ā
See Zach? Schneider looked puzzled, and Duke explained, "Wallace? Lee is the latest assistant director. ā
"We'll talk about it later."
Zack? Schneider and Duke were also polite, "I'll go say hello to the others." ā
Duke nodded, Charlize on the other side? Theron didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and she pointed to Ivanka behind Duke? Trump, suddenly, leaned over and whispered, "Your new a**?" ā
"Just my friend." Duke glared at her.
Charlize? Theron laughed, "She's talking to someone else, but she's been looking at you." ā
Ivanka though with Christopher? Rokencourt and Jessica? Alba chatted, but her eyes turned to one side from time to time, as if Duke was the only one in the ballroom.
"Sorry......"
Ivanka and Christopher? Rokencourt and Jessica? Alba said a few polite words, then turned to Duke and Charlize? Theron walked in. (To be continued......)
