At night, the Seine has a special charm, it looks particularly magnificent under the light, Duke walked briskly along the riverbank, and came to a café on the riverside with a view of the Louvre, the café is not very large, there are two parts, one indoor, one outside, and the outdoor part faces the Seine.

The café is very warm and casual, there are no bright neon lights, no strong music, only very light piano music is playing slowly, Duke's eyes swept over a dozen tables outside, and on the other side facing the TV, he saw Victoria's familiar figure and walked straight over.

"A latte, thank you."

Speaking to the waiter in extremely jerky French, Dukla opened his chair and sat down across from the girl who had been chuckling, "I'm sorry to be late." ”

"It's okay." Victoria gestured to her watch, "It's early for me, and we're still ten minutes away from the appointed time." ”

"It is very rude to have a beautiful princess wait."

Picking up the coffee brought by the waiter, Duke raised it to the other side, then took a sip and said with a smile, "Can you forgive my faux pas, Your Highness?" ”

"Of course!" Victoria also took a sip of coffee, suppressed a smile, and said in a very serious tone, "I forgive you!" ”

After saying that, she laughed first, and Duke also showed a bright smile at the right time.

While drinking coffee, the two chatted, and from time to time there would be hearty laughter, this princess, who was about to turn eighteen, had not completely escaped the category of innocence. Under Duke's deliberate guidance, his demeanor became more and more relaxed, and he seemed to see Duke as a friend with a lot of common topics.

"I also have a younger brother and sister."

Unconsciously. Princess Victoria even said something about her family situation, "My brother loves your "Brave Island" and "Saving Private Ryan", but it's a pity that he is studying in England now." ”

"There's always a chance to see it."

That being said, compared to this teenage princess, Duke has no interest in the royal family at all.

"Duke, look over here." Victoria gestured to the TV set on the lower side, "I'm introducing your movie." ”

Turn your head. Duke looked at the TV footage, from the pictures above and the few clips. It can be seen that this show is indeed introducing "Saving Private Ryan", and it seems that he is still doing some on-site investigation, but unfortunately he can't understand the French that is spoken quickly.

"You don't know French?" Victoria probably saw it, "I'll translate it for you." ”

"Thank you very much."

Both of them pull the chair at the same time. It's much closer, in fact, without Victoria's translation, Duke can probably guess that this is similar to the movie recommendation program in North America, using the method of interviewing movie fans, and using the audience's praise and praise to attract more viewers to watch the movie*.

However, Duke and Princess Victoria got together, one spoke seriously, the other listened seriously. It's like a couple in love on the banks of the Seine.

Especially those words of praise from the fans, translated from the mouth of a princess, even with the mentality of Duke. It's also inevitable that it's a little complacent and fluttering.

"There's nothing to say, my favorite war movie, I've watched it many times, I like it so much, every time I watch it, it's as thrilling as the first time I watch it!"

A young French fan is being interviewed in front of a camera lens, and Duke can hear it from Victoria's translator. He's seen it many times.

There are many French fans' words, which were translated by Princess Victoria.

"There was only shock but shock. Duke? Rosenberg is unique, and "Saving Private Ryan" brings the documentary to the fullest, and must be praised! ”

"A very classic war film, war is not the theme, the director renders human nature, in the face of death, everyone is insignificant, treat their lives well......"

"I've always disliked war movies, and I was pulled by my friends to watch "Saving Private Ryan", and I felt that it was worth the trip, the war in the film is very cruel, but it is accompanied by warmth, care and wisdom, what kind of courage does the director need to make such a movie? Why can't Europe make such a good movie? I think that young director has a lot of potential! ”

"Although I can't understand why I want to save Ryan, it doesn't prevent me from doing anything to Duke? Rosenberg began to look the other way, he was not only a simple and crude popcorn director, "Saving Private Ryan" scene scheduling was quite good, the shots were quite in place, and the dramatic conflicts were also prominent. ”

After drinking a cup of coffee, under Duke's suggestion, the two left the café and walked slowly along the riverbank, enjoying the gorgeous night scenery along both sides of the river, feeling the romantic atmosphere of Paris.

Since the princess of the Swedish royal family came to France to study, she has naturally been contaminated with a lot of French-style artistic cells, and Duke, as a director with systematic learning experience, is actually not bad in this regard.

The two walked along the banks of the Seine, admiring the lights of the water, chatting about the Louvre, sculptures and paintings, about Notre-Dame Cathedral, Esmeralda and Quasimodo, about the Eiffel Tower, the Palace of Versailles and the Arc de Triomphe in Paris......

Seeing that Victoria began to look at her watch, Duke asked tentatively, "Where do you live?" Why don't I send you back? ”

"Or ...... No need. Her eyes looked behind her, and Duke had already noticed that someone had been following the two of them, presumably an entourage or bodyguard.

Victoria hesitated for a moment and asked, "When are you leaving Paris?" ”

"Tomorrow afternoon's plane, I'm going back to Los Angeles." Duke's eyes drifted over her face covertly, and he said in a joking tone, "Is Your Highness going to the airport to see me off?" Didn't know if I had this honor? ”

"I'm sorry......," Princess Victoria seemed a little disappointed, "I'm going back to Stockholm early tomorrow morning." ”

"What a pity!" Duke immediately showed a look of frustration, "Vicky, it's really rare to meet a speculative friend like you. ”

Maybe with Tom? Hanks has been with each other for a long time, and Duke's acting skills are obviously good.

Turning around, the girl looked at the sparkling waves of the Seine, and was silent for a few seconds before she spoke again, "Can you know when your next visit to Europe will be?" ”

She turned her head and stared at Duke earnestly, her shining blue eyes full of inquiry.

Duke's heart moved, and he reacted very quickly, "I plan to take a vacation in July, maybe it's a good choice to come to Europe?" ”

This seemed to be talking to herself, but the voice could be heard by the girl opposite, and when Victoria's eyes blinked quickly a few times, Duke said in time, "That time should be summer vacation, Vicky?" ”

Princess Victoria nodded quickly.

"Can we invite you to Ibiza, Spain, for a holiday in July?" Duke's words were full of sincerity, "Don't you know that I have this honor?" ”

"I ...... Think about it. Princess Victoria smiled reservedly and brightly, making an excuse for the time being, "I also need to ask for the consent of my parents." ”

"I think they'll agree," Duke gently shook the girl's hanging hand, "yes, Vicky?" ”

"Then it depends on whether your invitation is sincere or not."

After saying that, Princess Victoria stopped and turned to walk towards the entourage, and at the same time turned back and beckoned to Duke, "Goodbye, it was a nice evening. ”

Watching the prey disappear from front of his eyes, Duke did not have any frustration, after all, the other party was not a drunken Hollywood actress, and if she wanted to completely impress her, it was definitely not something that could be done after one or two meetings.

If Her Royal Highness the princess is really as debauched as those female stars, why should he spend time and energy on her.

For the last-minute July holiday, Duke also has a little bit of anticipation.

The next day, before Victoria boarded the Swedish royal family's private jet, Duke made another timely greeting call, and although she did not give a clear answer about the holiday together, her attitude had become skewed between words.

In the afternoon, Duke took a flight away from Paris, where the crew was located, and ended his promotional journey and returned to Los Angeles to deal with some other work.

After nearly a year of screenings, "Independence Day" finally dropped from all formal markets around the world, and the global box office of the film stayed at $912.13 million, which ultimately did not exceed the $914.7 million of "Jurassic Park", and could only rank second in the overall box office list in film history.

In fact, the North American box office of "Independence Day" completely surpassed that of "Jurassic Park", and the overseas box office was significantly inferior, after all, the former's great Americanism would still cause some people to be disgusted, and the overseas box office was not as good as the latter, which is a normal situation.

Even so, Duke is enough to go down in history, he is the second member to join the $900 million club, and only he and Spielberg in the world have done this, which is enough to be a huge halo.

Warner, Fox and Disney's media, while promoting "Saving Private Ryan", are also hyping the final box office of "Independence Day", which is also an effective means of publicity, especially those fans who appreciate Duke's past style and do not like war movies.

After spending its fourth weekend in North America, "Saving Private Ryan" officially crossed the $200 million mark at the North American box office, reaching $217.71 million.

In terms of overseas box office, the film continued its popularity in Europe, and was released in many markets such as the Far East and Latin America, with a cumulative overseas box office of more than $120 million!

As a competitor of "Saving Private Ryan" in the same schedule, "Braveheart" not only did not perform well at the North American box office, but also encountered a lot of trouble in other aspects. (To be continued)
